A Place Called Home

Whooop Whooop....  A month had passed without any prints here. It was not because I didn't wanna write. I just waited and I didn't wanna jinx it. Jinx what exactly? Well, this is what I wanna tell you.

I remember a quote that says 'Home is where your heart lays'. It is true. And it is my dream to have a home where my heart is. And you know, my heart belongs to K. So, to make it happen, we have to live together, to live under one roof.

And as I had written before, we looked for an apartment. And VOILA, we've found it, a small one, 40 square meters, located in the center of Jakarta.

I never expected that this dream, our dream, would happen as soon as this. If I went back to couple months ago, I never imagined that I would fall in love again, fight for my dreams which was broken along with my ended relationship with my ex. Who would have thought that 7 months later, I would be standing here, looking at city lights from the 26th floor of The Boulevard, from our own balcony, holding my better half's hand while our mind is reaching our further dreams? Who would have thought, that shattered dream would come to reality, letting me deeply kiss and hug my K, on our bed, in our small yet lovely room?

It is beautiful. Beautiful it is. I am grateful because of this bunch of happiness. I thank God for every happiness that comes to us.

But lemme remind you, that happiness doesn't come for free. We do fight each other. We do have our differences, perspective, idealism, and paradigms. There are times when we feel tired. But the thing is, at the end of the day, we still need each other, we love and we committed to each other.

It is just a start. I do believe that there will be time when we fight. And I do believe that we can't eliminate our differences, they make us special. All we can do is accepting and widening our tolerance level. We are learning to be able to know when we have to argue, when we have to let go things. The point is we have to work it out.

And after all, K is someone I don't wanna live without. His heart is a place I call home.

PS. The Boulevard is located in area called Kampung Bali. I used to dream that someday I would live in Bali. Well, it is not Bali at all, but at least it's called Bali. I don't believe in coincidence. I do believe in God's sense of humor. LOL.
