Dilema

Chapter 4: Little Things

"Kenapa belum tidur?" Tanya Varo sambil duduk dibalkon kamarnya.

"Gue kaget oon" Ucap Mikha kesal. Dia tengah melamun dibalkon miliknya dan tiba-tiba Varo menghancurkan lamunannya.

"Biasa aja neng" varo tertawa kecil.

"Nyanyiin dong" kata Mikha menatap Varo dengan berbinar-binar.

"Iya, tau aja kelemahan gue". Varo masuk ke dalam kamarnya dan kembali ke balkon. Dia kini melompat ke balkon Mikha, ya jarak balkon kamar mereka hanya beberapa centi.

"Mau lagu apa?" Mikha terlihat berpikir.

"Hmm. Gimana kalau One Direction-Little Things?" Seru Mikha menggebu-gebu. Varo mulai memetik gitarnya.

Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind, it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me...

Bagian pertama dinyanyikan Mikha, Varo bersiap-siap untuk lirik berikutnya.

I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs, the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly

Lalu mereka menyanyikan bagian itu bersama.

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
Oh it's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

Kini Varo menyanyikan bagian berikut.

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me

I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh, you still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me

Mereka kembali berduet. Varo kini menutup matanya membuat jiwanya bersatu dengan lagu yang ia nyanyikan. Begitulah Varo ketika ia bernyanyi, sedang Mikha hanya memperhatikan Varo yang begitu serius.

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you
And you'll never treat yourself right darlin' but I want you to
If I let you know I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you

Varo menyadari Mikha tak lagi bernyanyi, ketika dia menengok kesamping ternyata Mikha telah tertidur dengan posisi duduk. Tapi Varo tetap melanjutkan lagunya.

I've just let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
'Cause it's you
Oh it's you
It's you they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all your little things

Disetiap liriknya Varo terus menatap Mikha yang terlelap. Lucu dan wajahnya begitu damai, tapi Varo tau ada kesedihan dalam dirinya yang coba dia tutupi.

Varo meletakkan gitarnya dan mengangkat Mikha ke kasurnya. Varo menatap sendu Mikha.

"I'm in love with you, Mik." Varo mendekat dan mengecup dahi gadis itu cukup lama "Nice dream my princess" Varo kembali ke balkon, sebelum dia menutup pintu balkon dia kembali menengok kearah Mikha yang masih terlelap

"Seandainya lo tau, Mik. Perasaan gue gak sekedar sahabat" lirihnya.

Dia menutup pintu balkon itu, mengambil gitarnya dan kembali ke kamarnya.

Sampai di kamar dia duduk dipinggiran kasurnya, mengacak rambutnya frustasi.

"Arggghhh" erangnya frustasi. "Gue cinta lo, Mikha" gumamnya pelan.
