1. Meski rindu ini terus datang menyapa, aku masih berharap untuk bisa melepaskan rindu ini. Denganmu aku tahu, bahwa bahagia ternyata sesederhana ini Ah.. menghirup harum petrikor di tengah Musim hujan yang sejuk ini mengembalikanku akan kenangan tiga tahun lalu. Sudah selama itu tapi rasanya masih melekat dalam benakku. Gadis manis dengan surai coklat dan mata hazelnya menghantui pikiranku. Entah magic apa yang ia lakukan padaku aku tidak bisa berhenti memikirkannya. Tak tau berapa lama aku duduk di cafe Moidef, disebelah meja yang di atasnya terdapat 3 cangkir kosong yang tadinya berisi kopi pagi ini, kalau ada dia pasti dia akan memarahiku. Aku tersenyum mengingat itu. Tak ingin terlarut dalam angan, aku segera melihat jam di tangan ku yang telah menunjukkan angka tiga . Ah... jam tiga di musim hujan. Jam tiga. Aku dan dia. Di tengah sejuknya udara sehabis hujan turun. Tak ayal ingatanku kembali pada kilas masa lalu. Surabaya, 15 desember 2017 "Ayo tambahin kecepatannya dong...!" Teriak nya.
