I think I have something worth to be told before its getting cold.
I happen to meet Mr. X, my former hot lecture, during my iftar time in Marriott just now !
So here is the story.
As usual, I ordered a steak with Bollinger Grande Annee Rose '99 - vintage - as my drink and sat alone in the corner of the restaurant. I was really enjoyed my day without any company, well I think I get used to it anyway, but then someone, that I know for quiet long time, just showed up and greets me with his english accent.
Yes, he is Mr. X. My hot lecture while back ago when I was still in the university. He is smoking hot ! Wet hair, soft wrinkles on his eyes sides and forehead, his smell, and the way he dress just made my day. Oh My God, how can this guy so adorable, this isn't fair.
Mr. X : "Hey Andro, how are you ? May I sit here ?" Perfect pick up line, I couldn't resist.
Andro : "Oh please, with my pleasure Sir, I've been doing good so far. What about you ?" Lame !! I don't know what to say. I saw his small smile and I just blushed. Jodoh emang gak kemana kali ye ... *PLAK BINAN MUREH !!*
"So what you have been up to ? I mean, do you work or ..." He knew what he did is the best thing to start the conversation. "Um ..." Gua gak tau mau jawab apaan, kalau aja gua bisa jawab "I'm fabulous as usual" would be so much easier compare to my fake answer "I'm doing great and I have a job that pay my bills". Bohong !!! Orang gue masih disubsidi 60% sama bokap gue.
Then gue sama dia ngobrol panjang lebar tentang masa-masa gue belajar dulu. Dia bilang gue sukanya telat tapi somehow gue bisa ngikutin apa yang dia ajarin. Aneh tapi nyata, gue pemales tapi bisa dapet gelar degree with hons. Oh iya dong !!! Orang pelajarannya gampang, ngeanalisis, ngitung, sama nyari jalan keluarnya dengan risk yang paling minim dan masuk akal. Itu jagonya gue. Jago NGELES !! Terus dari situ, gue bales aja kalau dia ngajar itu suka bikin gak fokus, dia ngajar terlalu nyantai, sama terlalu baik malahan. Makanya gue sukanya telat, orang gak pernah dimarahin. Palingan cuma dikasih gelar Mr. Up Coming Next At The Middle Of The Class on my paper work. It doesn't mean anything for me, gak ngaruh kata-kata sarcasmnya. Ngahaha. Terus ya terus ......... DIA NANYAIN SOAL PASCAL !!!
Gue cuma bisa mesem-mesem falsh back, entar apa yang mau gue jawab.
Mr. X : So what about Pascal, is he doing fine too ? Is he still in KL or going back to Jakarta for good ?
Andro : *PLS DEH NANYANYA GAUSAH SEDETAILS ITU BISA GAK* Mmm, he is doing fine, he just got back to Aussie to continue his MBA. He was staying in KL for a year, postponing his MBA and working for some local company in KL. However after many consideration, he is going back to Aussie again.
Mr. X : Well done, I think that was a wise option that he choose. And, if I may know, what kind of job that Indo's fathers doing that they can afford to provide so much privilege to their children. I mean, to be honest, I could not afford that kind of such things for my children. Hahaha *ketawa renyah, senyum menggoda, untung udah buka puasa. BECYEKK*
Andro : *merendah untuk meroket* I don't know, let's called it we are lucky enough to have this but we know how to manage and enjoy it without hurting anyone. Sounds fair ??
Mr. X : Wise ...................

Puasa dan puasa.
SANSAN BABIK.
ARLAN BABIK JUGA.
Mereka kayanya nggak akan pernah ngerti yang namanya puasa. Menurut gue, puasa itu bukan cuma nahan laper dan haus, tapi nahan hawa nafsu marah dan ngehe.
Sansan masih aja suka usaha ngajakin gue ngeroko bareng disiang bolong, pas otak lagi mumet-mumetnya karena kerjaan gue numpuk. Dia bilang ngeroko bukan minum, dan ngeroko juga buka makan, so for him, gue gak akan batal kalo cuma ngeroko. DIHHH, BERASA YANG BIKIN ATURAN AJE DEH !! Suka-suka dia dan umatnya deh. Gue gak mau ikutan.
Kalo Arlan, dia sukanya ngajakin ngehe pagi-pagi sebelum berangkat kerja. Katanya quicky ? WTF !
Terus dia nanya gak bakalan ada morning season for the rest of the month ? No kissing ? HIHH !!! Gue lempar gym bag gue juga deh nih lama-lama si Arlan. Gue udah jelasin panjang lebar masih aja nggak paham.
Dan, mereka pun jadi suka pergi berduaan. Lunch bareng, ngeroko bareng, ngegym bareng. BYE DEH BYE, gue bodo amatan. Untung aja gue lagi sibuk training ini itu, yaaa jadi lumayan lah gue bisa nyibukin diri gue tanpa musti mikirin mereka.
Oh ya, hari Kamis kemarin gue training di Mandarin Oriental. Terus gue duduk paling depan karena gue tau kalau gue duduk dibelakang, gue bakalan tidur gara-gara lagi puasa dan gak bisa ngopi. KEBAYANG KAANNN ??? Nah, pas lagi chapter decision making itu, tiba-tiba trainer gue ngambil gantungan kunci mobil plus rumah gue terus bilang "If you have five hundred ringgit, would you buy this key chain ?" Gue bengong, liat-liatan sama si Sansan, Sansan ngikik sambil bilang "See ... I told you not to buy that" tanpa suara tapi gue ngerti apa yang dia bilang. Gue bengong terus otomatis ngejawab "I would not buy it", terus trainer gue bilang "Good, that means you on step forward to understand this chapter" sambil ngeremehin gantungan konci gue !!!! Pertarungan baru aja dimulai. Dia harus tau alesan gue kenapa nggak mau beli gantungan kunci itu kalau gue punya uang 500 ringgir.
Andro : Excuse me, would you ask me the reason why I would not buy this key chain if I have five hundred ringgit ?
Trainer : Interesting, we know that anyone here would not buy the key chain for five hundred ringgit because it is too expensive, but well maybe you have another reason ? *Again, ngeremehin gue, dan semua bapak-bapak perut buncit yang ada disana pada ketawa*
Andro : In fact, this is Fendi. The brand that well known as luxury fashion line since more than fifty years ago. This is mink fur which cost more than the money that your offer just now. So, I would not buy or even go to Fendi shop to buy this key chain because I need extra money to bring it home along with me. And if you think this is too expensive, you are wrong, I made the decision to buy the key chain because I can afford this, I am not saying that I have a lot of money. But the thing is, when you make a decision, you will combine three different aspects. Physiological, which I know that my preference, needs, and the values that I am looking for. Second, cognitive, which I solve the problem that I have to put all of my keys in one tools that looks good and luxury for me. And the third is, normative, for me it is logic to buy the key chain that cost me more than one thousand after so my consideration, I can afford this and I solve my problem.
SEISI RUANGAN : LONG PAUSE ......... AWKWARD MOMENT !
Lalalala, urat malu udah gue putusin dari kapan tau. Muka udah tebel gara-gara gue bedakin dari tadi sebelom berangkat kesini. Sansan ?? Tambah ngikik sambil geleng-geleng kepala.
Hahahaha mampus deh tu trainer. Idih .... lagian ya lagi puasa kenapa juga musti nyinyir sih kalau ngasih contoh ??? Dan salahnya dia ngasih contohnya ke gue ! Gue kan binan profesional yang competitivenya duile banget ...............
Balik dari selesei training, gue lagi nunggu mobil gue dianter kedepan lobby hotel. Ada bapak-bapak dateng ke gue terus bilang gini "hmmm no wonder my wife always buy something simple yet so expensive, this is how your people always think ya ..." Gue ngelongos masuk mobil gue terus sambil bilang "cost and pleasure are two different things .........."
GUE MURKAAA !!!
