In the end of the day, before leaving my office after work, I am making this story for you joyfully, dear readers. Just enjoy to read it, OK!
Once in a city park I met a stranger. He is a Psychologist who began to chat with me when I was looking around. I wonder he had long minutes followed me since at the first he directly looked at my eyes and stopped my walks. How surprised! Why I had long walks alone in that very big city is a first question he asked me. I tried not to look too surprised or anxious by answering him, "Because it's fun enough to do it". He offered me a seat to my next stop after he knew I want to go to Culinary Area in Sabang near Thamrin Street and I said no. For sudden, he successfully made me tell him some stories about my activities and how I could trapped walking alone in that city. He told me back about him and some psychological meanings of mine as long as he knows. I was a melancholic, kinetics, and full of inspiration in his perspective. That's why he followed me. Do you know, how could I go away after all those assessments he just said to me? The conversation was going far and fun enough. I was so rare to meet psychologist who easily says something and tells many kinds of psychological statement which almost hit me.
Well, it’s not the first time for me to meet stranger in my journey. I ever met a Freeport employer in the Train and we talked for about 6 hours. I found that in the middle of employment, he now becomes a new student in Economy Faculty of Indonesia University. I accommodated his wishful stories for his next future and we gave suggestions for each other. I cannot say much about me to those strangers because I am introvert enough. So, in the way we talked, I just responded them interactively. I’m glad that I could blend to the conversation arisen. I’m glad that I wasn’t born in the Middle East where women cannot have their full right to go alone everywhere they want without permission. I’m glad that I have self-reliance as woman to live in this beautiful and chaotic world. As long as I do not take steps regarding my intentions beyond the pale, I will gladly have some journeys again and experience other windows through people, place, or event.
It is a resignation becoming a 23th year-old-girl who doesn't have a partner to do the same thing but enjoys her life peacefully.
