Novel & Cerita Puisi Penantian Dalam Diam

The difference between lonely and alone ever-present in my mind. Until my map of the stars flashes. Now there is one less soul on the mortal plane. One more name to my list. My list of stars and tonight there's another star tonight. A new one. Then the sky is silent. A different silence than my empty tower. This type of quiet is filled with anticipation. Waiting for the star's first words. I forge my way over to my window. Ready for whatever I am going to see. Yet, what happens I was not prepared for. It's odd and new.

Unknown I’ve been waiting in these woods for over three hours, hidden among the shadows, my patience wearing thin but my focus unshaken. The damp earth clung to my skin as I crouched low, eyes scanning the landscape, ears attuned to every sound.

The kind that understood the difference between waiting because you had no choice and waiting because you had chosen to and the thing you were waiting for was worth every day of the choosing. I read it twice. Then I set the book down on the window table and looked out at the January street and thought about ten days and active patient waiting and a man who had underlined nothing but had handed me exactly the right page.

I remain standing before the picture window, my palms still pressed against the cold glass, until the heat of my skin leaves two fleeting halos of mist. Time stretches, elastic. I could stay like this for an eternity, a statue of satin and diamonds in its jewel box. But I know this is only a respite. Waiting is part of the ritual.

He held the doll out to me. I pulled my hand back. It fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The atmosphere in the room instantly turned tense and suffocating. He had already been on the verge of losing his temper, but he forced it down and said patiently, “If you don’t like dolls anymore, then what do you like? I’ll buy it for you. Okay?” I smiled faintly. “I don’t need anything. I’m not interested in what you buy.” Julian let out a tired sigh, assuming I was still sulking. Realizing he could not talk me around, he became a little irritated.

My heart pounds faster, faster, faster. The forest is silent and waiting, waiting and still and holding its breath. The world waits, and I wait with it, wait with it like I have any choice, any choice at all. The world waits, and it is more than I expect, more than I can bear, more than I think, more than I know, more than I know how to wait, how to wait for.
