:: The Man of Tomorrow ::

A blast from the past [phrase] : something or someone that returns after a period of obscurity or absence. It is normally applied to things that that were thought fondly of previously and are making a welcome return.

PART I

I don’t exactly remember when I was first knew her, as far as I remember, I’m in 2nd grade of Senior High, which is around 1999-2000. I think it’s still in 1999, since we already in a relationship on the Ramadhan month *at that time, which is on January, 2000, CMIIW*

How we met and finally ended up as a couple, it’s kinda embarrassing to be told, huahaha..

We’re just high-school students at that time, after all.

Well, the story goes..

I lived in Depok, (further south of south of Jakarta) and she lived in Kalideres (west of Jakarta) , at that time, it feels like we lived in different city *which is quite-true*.

Well, yeaah, at that time, I barely used Pa-Per (Panah Perak a.k.a Silver Arrow, the name of my car) for my personal use, since it was the only car at that time, so, Dad rules !

So, to get there by bus, it takes around 1 and half hour on normal trip, plus the waiting time for the bus and the traffic jam in Jakarta, it’s possible to take around 3 hours.

To cut the story short, we’re sort of in a long-distance relationship. Most of the time, we just communicated by phone (dont be mistaken, it’s a fixed-line home phone, not mobile phone), chat or e-mail. The funny part is, even when I went to Makassar for Eid Mubarak, almost everyday I went to wartel (I don’t know the english word for this, its like a phone booth) to call her, attaboy.

I also didn’t remember how long we were in the relationship, becoz it just faded away, I’m stop calling her, and so did she. *most likely becoz I already have a new girlfriend, and apparently, so did she *

So, the story ends, and the memory of her slowly but surely fade out of me.

ends of part I ..

PART II

Couple of weeks ago, I casually click on “who’s viewed me?”, and my eyes was stop at a particular name, NaDa. First tought, “hmm, nice name..”, and second thought, “anyone that I know named Nada?” Yep, I knew one, I found myself answer. So, the third thought was, “is this Nada that I knew?”

I looked at the picture, but my brain can’t recalled of such a beautiful lady in the picture, so I open the profile. What an abandoned profile it was, the only thing in the “more about NaDa” is just :

Zodiac Sign:

Sagittarius

About Me:

i’m just an ordinary girl with an ordinary life

So, I clicked the photo gallery, luckily, there are quite a lot of photos. After looking all of the photos, I’m still not so sure what to do, so I leave her a message, asked her whether I knew her or not, and not to forget to give her a brief introduction, “Hi, I’m Hamdiy, *almost* 25th years-old”

The next day, there’s a reply from her, and SURPRISED, she turns out to be the Nada that I knew, my ex-girlfriend 8 years ago, *if it can be called so, since I never counted her as my ex, hehe* *No offense, Nad*

There was an eyecatchy thing of the message, that she’s correctly stated my birth date, so on the reply, I wrote, “wow, how could you even remember my bday?”, and on the next reply from her, she turns out to be even more creepy, huahaha.. *sorry, Nad*

Well, I can’t help it. Tell me, how can it be called not creepy that she’s still remembered my address, my telephone number, my full name *that even my current friends doesn’t know or bother to memorized*, the names of my best friends at that moment, and even my ex’s name before her, huahaha..

You truly are creepy, Nad.

Even more creepy, on our next2 conversations, it turns out that she also remember my email address that I tried to recalled, and this is the best part : she remembered the contents of love-letter that I even forgot ever wrote it, and sent her along with the Eid Mubarak Card *is it, Nad?*

Anyway, if you still have it, please do burn it, Nad, that will be very humiliating if someone that I know read it now, ahahaha..

See? That’s kinda creepy, you knoww.. Coz as for me, what I remembered about her is just that her name is longer than mine, and her house is at Kalideres, that’s all. I even forgot her full name, hehe.
