Today, the lord of broken heart, Didi Kempot has passed away. Everyone who ever live at Jogja or Solo might remember him differently. We could listen to his songs blasting everywhere like an anthem on our everyday life.
And here's my memory of his songs i have in mind after heard the news about his death.
That night my ex called me, asking if i already had my dinner. 15 minutes later he arrives at my place, we went to North part of Jogja. We haven't decided where exactly to go but it always nice just strolling around enjoying jogja at night. With him.
Then we stopped at burjo,
"dulu aku sering ke sini bareng temen-temen" he told me.
"oooh" i replied, awkwardly.
That was actually the first time we met again after our first breakup.
The place wasn't so burjo for the standar of burjo. It has more menus and more spacious, and also offers lesehan section.
I ordered magelangan, i forgot what dish he ordered but i remember his jeruk anget tanpa gula for sure.
We ate our not so fancy dinner in silence, we not really talk. It seems like we still trying to process the fact that we already over.
The silence in the air was filled with Pantai Klayar's Didi Kempot that played on the tv as we done our dish.
He lit his cigarette and told me some trivial facts about Didi Kempot to break the iceberg.
I nodded, my eyes still fixed on the telly so i could avoid his eyes.
"Udah lama kita ga ke pantai" i said that without looking at him. Idk why the fuck i even said that.
"iya" he replied, the silence keep creeping in the air.
But im glad there was Didi Kempot that did the job for us so the silence was not too deafening.
"ayo liat sunrise" he said.
I chuckled, i stare at him unbelievably. What is this now?
"yang pengen kita udahan itu cuma kamu doang, padahal kita jalaninnya bareng" he said sarcastically. I hate it so much when he starts being sarcastic.
"Janjine..." Didi Kempot mocking us with his next song that played on shuffle.
Did i being unfair to him? I keep asking myself, the idea that i hurting him so bad was hurting me too.
And that night we actually went to the beach, waiting for sun to rise, trying to make our relationship works again.
It is not tho. It will never work. But im grateful for us being together again for awhile before it finally222 over.
Thanks to Didi Kempot for being part of that night. Thankyou for the songs, thankyou for teaching us how to enjoy the sadness as a part of being human.
Rest in peace, sugeng tindak.
