have a conversation with 'Thing'

Monday at 1 pm, as usual, that was my creative writing class with Mas Dalih. However it was different from the previous class. He gave students the task to make a conversation with a ‘thing’, anything... and I started to think….

My mine was blank and the first thing that I thought in that moment was ‘Time’. So I started to imagine what was our conversation (time and me.. ) talked about.

And this is my conversation with the ‘Time’

Time    :           Hey !!! what are you doing there??

Me       :           Nothing ,,

Time    :           But you must doing something .. Idiot !!!

Me       :           Just shut up..!!! why you are so annoying??

Time    :           Haaahh,, what the hell are you talking about?

Me       :           I want you to stop…  passing me.. I’m sad..

Time    :           Are you kidding me? You know I can’t.

Me       :           If so... leave me alone.

Time    :           Why should I do that? You need me, you can’t live and you are nothing without

                        me,,

Me       :           I know,, but I hate you. You made me lost my memories with him. I want it back..

Time    :           Stubborn girl..!! Can you just stop yelling me.. I told you for many times that it

was not my fault, it was yours ..

Just make me be your precious thing and do not give me that yell again.

Me       :           I want,, but I do hate you so much.. (I start to cry).

Time    :           Haahaaa.. you know, I like moment when you cry and regret about me..

                        That always makes me so proud and precious.

Me       :           You are so mean. ,, But …… I do need you. (say slowly)

Time    :           oohh…. my little girl with so many candies in your head. So fanny you are.

At first you want me to leave you alone but then you said that you need me.

                        If you do not want to regret me anymore, just do not waste me for just the

rubbish things.

Me       :           How can you call my dreams as rubbish things? You always take the precious

moments of anybody. You do not understand anything. You do not have feeling..

you just….. a thing.

Time    :           you never learn anything, do you? I’m the thing, but I am the strongest in the

                        World.

Me       :           You are.. and I still hate you for my reason. I always want do the best in anytime

for my future. However, still I doubt myself,. What is wrong with me?

Time    :           You need more struggles and prayers. Nobody use me maximally, anyway..

Me       :           Can I ask your help?

Time    :           I want help you,, but I can’t…

Me       :           ……. (crying…)
