Mga Pick Up Lines

Di hari ulang tahun pernikahan kami, aku membersihkan rumah dan menemukan sebuah album foto. Ternyata, setiap tahun di hari ini, suamiku selalu mengambil foto pernikahan bersama cinta sejatinya. Dari usia 40 hingga 60 tahun, dari rambut hitam hingga beruban, selama dua puluh tahun dia tidak pernah absen. Di balik setiap foto ada tulisan tangan suamiku: "Cinta abadi selamanya."

Setengah hidupku telah kujalani dengan sia-sia, tetapi tidak ada kata terlambat untuk berubah sekarang.
