Lagenda Budak Setan

this is really a good book! by Ahadiat Akashah. A Malaysian writer.
i got this from the book
it's just beautiful.


I never try to impress the queen with my writing
or making the birds sing
or the phones ring
i never want to make you cry
or die
or sigh

I just want to write because i HAVE to write
i just want to write about things i knew RIGHT
so sorry if the writing is about heart
or blood
or tart

because i'm going to write about what i'm going to write
whether the writing is about ride
or guide
or kite
and i never give a DAMN whether
you like it
or HATE it
or yell about it

because i write for what i have to write
and of course i'm going to write
a special book for you to read
not to greet
or spit
just read
and read
till the last deed


reading this while listening to the songs that we used to sing together.
wondering about the tragic love story of Kasyah and Ayu.
it gave me a stronger will to write.
and to write till the end.
to write till my fingers are all crooked.
to write till the last piece of paper.

and to write about anything and everything.
who cares if you want to criticise or curse.

it really doesn't matter anymore.
i don't care what will happen next.
maybe i am too engrossed.
or maybe i am just emotional.

but what happens next.
will eventually happen.

there's nothing to worry about.

i really do miss the time when we were younger.
when running seems so fun.


-the clock continues to tick-
