"Ahh.. seger banget. 

I'm the girl in the movie scene

Who just wants to leave

And never come back

And you're the perfect company

You got dreams like me

Please can you take me away?

So let me ri, ri, ri, ri, ride

Away with you

Into the dark, Into my heart

I'll follow you

Let me ri, ri, ri, ri, ride

Away with you

'Cause all of my scars are broken inside

I need you. I need you, need you, need you

I need you, need you, need you. (Yaeow - I need you).

"Wah suara lo bagus banget. Sampe kedengeran ke kamar gw".

"(Bisik) What?"

"Tenang aja gw gak mesum kok. Gw penghuni baru. Arvano. Salam kenal".

"(Bisik) Penghuni baru? Apa yang tadi di bilang Vira?"

"Hallo?"

"... sorry banget suara gw kenceng."

"Siapa nama lo?"

"..."

"Oh udah tidur ya. Good Night".

"(Bisik) Kok gw deg degan ya?. Serem banget sih tuh orang. Mana gw gak tau dia umur berapa. Gimana kalau pyschopath?. Aduh jangan sampe deh".

"Dasar si bocil tau aja yang ganteng sama yang enggak. Ganteng apa enggak ya? Gw juga belum tau sih. Ha ha ha ha"

"Yeee. Dikira tau. Udah lah gw mau beli bubur dulu. Mau nitip gak lo?"

"Gak usah. Thanks".

...

"Bubur Pak Joko memang mantul dah. Gak nyesel gw beli 2 porsi.

Haduh kalau udah makan gini pasti ngantuk. Tapi tugas belum selesai. Dilema banget gw.

(Yaeow - Do you ever think of me)

It's been a long time since you drove away

It's been a long time since you called my name

And I wonder, do you ever think of me?

I try to stay strong but my heart is blue

Something always seem to bring me back to you

'Cause I wonder, do you ever think of me?.

Pusing banget gw ngerjain tugas dari bapak sumpah dah. Argh".

"Hai! Suaranya bagus banget! Gw belum tau nama lo."

"Okay. Good luck"

"Ha ha ha Thanks"

"Gila udah jam 23.00 aja. Mana udah ngantuk, tapi tugas masih ada beberapa yang harus di kerjain. (Mengehela nafas).

"(Mengetuk dindin) Hallo?"

"Nana? Kenceng ya suaranya? Sorry banget"

"Tenang aja"

"Gw mau lagu.. Town I Called my home by Yaeow"

"Lo suka lagu-lagu dia ya?"

"I..iya. Kenapa?"

"Gak. Gw juga suka kok. Berarti kita bisa nyanyi bareng.

(Memetik gitar)

I'm a blue boy living in a town where I don't feel like I belong

A town I called my home

And God knows, I have tried my best to work it out

But in the end I don't feel like I belong.

So tell me where to go now, tell me what to do

I think I lost my heart now but I don't have a clue

Yeah, I've been feeling lonely in this town

With a bunch of other people, where to go now?

Yeah, I don't have a clue, so tell me what to do

Just tell me, what should I do?"

"I can see the pain in your eyes

You're so tired of it all

And you know, I feel the same

So what do you say, where you wanna go?

You tell me where to go now, tell me what to do

I think I lost my heart now but I don't have a clue

Yeah, I've been feeling lonely in this town

With a bunch of other people, where to go now?

Yeah, I don't have a clue, so tell me what to do

Just tell me, what should I do?...

"Thanks. Lo juga bagus kok. Suara lo juga enak   walau gak ada instumen"

"Lo tau?"

"Tau dong"

"Ha ha ha ha. Seneng banget gw"

"Okay. Kita mulai ya (memetik gitar).

All of my friends, they are scattered

Random patterns, random moments

Bring us close, bring us close ...

Me and my friends are losing touch

And all we share in common is that we don't talk enough

It's no ones fault that life gets tough

But all we share in common is that we don't talk enough. We don't talk enough".

"I tried to call, I tried to text

But somehow life, it always gets

Right in the way, at least that's what I say

And I really hope I don't wake up at 50

Wondering why I gave my life away

And if it's too late, yeah

I got some questions, questions for why

We write the ending ahead of time"

(Both) Me and my friends are losing touch

And all we share in common is that we don't talk enough

It's no ones fault that life gets tough

But all we share in common is that we don't talk enough. We don't talk enough

"Happy birthday".

"Thanks."

"Sebagai gantinya, gw nyanyi ya buat lo. 

(Memetik gitar) Ed Sheeran - Photograph.

Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes

But it's the only thing that I know

When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes

It is the only thing makes us feel alive

We keep this love in a photograph

We made these memories for ourselves

Where our eyes are never closing

Hearts are never broken

And time's forever frozen, still"

(Both) So you can keep me

Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans

Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet

You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

"Thanks banget loh Arva"

"Gw juga makasih ya. Lo bawain buat gw"

"Chill. Gw tidur duluan ya. Good Night"

"Good Night".

"Tumben kak pagi ke kampusnya?"

"Thanks.

"Na, gw mau nanyi untuk lo. Gw ambil gitar dulu ya.

(Memetik gitar. Linkin Park - Shadow of the day)

I close both locks below the window

I close both blinds and turn away

Sometimes solutions aren't so simple

Sometimes goodbye's the only way, oh

And the sun will set for you

The sun will set for you

And the shadow of the day

Will embrace the world in gray

And the sun will set for you

"Waw, suara lo keren banget. Btw.. sebetulnya gw penasaran sama wujud lo. Maksudnya gw cuma bisa denger suara lo doang, gw juga mau ngeliat muka lo".

"Ha ha ha. Muka gw jelek banget. Nanti lo jadi ilfil"

"Gaklah. Kalau misalkan muka lo jelek. Lo punya suara yang bagus. Maksudnya gak semua orang ganteng punya suara bagus. Pasti punya kelebihankan setiap manusia"

"... thanks. Maybe not now, sorry"

"It's okay. Btw gw duluan tidur ya"

"Seriusly?"

"Yeah"

"Okay...Get will soon."

"Thanks"

...

"(Yaeow - Stuck here without you)

Got this feeling that I can't sleep without you

All I ever do is cry thinking of you

I can't even dream, I'm stuck here without you

What am I supposed to do?

And all I ever want is you to be with me

My white walls, they start to feel lonely

I can't even dream, I'm stuck here without you

What am I supposed to do?

I can see you doing fine in another city

But does it get lonely, do you ever get homesick?

Yeah, I usually do"

"Oh, I don't wanna waste your time

But I can't stop asking why

Did I ever let you go?"

"What? Arva? "

"Yap"

"Lo udah sehat?"

"Udahlah. Masa mau terus-terusan sakit"

"Iya juga sih. Ha ha ha"

"Malem-malem gini pasti lagi belajar ya?"

"Gak kok. Gabut banget nih"

"Mau nanyi bareng"

"Pink Sweat$ - At my worst"

"Okay. (Memetik gitar)"

"Can I call you baby?

Can you be my friend?

Can you be my lover up until the very end?

Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend

Stick by my side even when the world is givin' in, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, don't

Don't you worry

I'll be there, whenever you want me"

(Both) I need somebody who can love me at my worst

No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth

'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first

And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst.

"Bisa keluar bentar na?"

"Kenapa?"

"If you stay forever, let me hold your hand

I can fill those places in your heart no else can"

"(Membuka pintu)"

"Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah

I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

Oh, oh, oh, don't

Don't you worry

I'll be there, whenever you want me

I need somebody who can love me at my worst

No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth

'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first

And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst."

(Both) I need somebody who can love me at my worst

No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth

'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first

And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

"Waw. Are you Arvano?".

"Hai."

-End.

 

Denah kamar Nana dan Arva (tanda X adalah dimana biasa mereka duduk).

Nb : Sebetulnya saya pribadi pengen banget membuat cerita sesuai dengan Reality. Saya gak tau deh ini ceritanya masuk akal apa enggak. Saya memusatkan pada dialog kedua tokoh utama (Adriana/Nana & Arvano). Karena sesuai dengan judul nya, saya memusatkan di komunikasi lewat dinding. BTW saya pernah nonton film judulnya BEFORE WE GO, menurut saya itu masuk akal aja film nya dengan lokasi syuting dikota  New York. Itu film nya keren banget bertemu hanya satu malam tapi rasanya kaya ketemu dengan teman lama. Seru banget. Jangan lupa nonton juga film tersebut and I hope you Enjoy this Short story.

Bye :)
