Gladiator

"What we do, echoing eternity", quoted from Maximus - Gladiator

Isn’t it lovely? An exclamation in the anteroom of death. Such exclamation, instead of brought them to die, brought them to live a victory.

I watched Gladiator last night. It was ... more than great, no... not merely the film production but more on the Maximus’ life, passion and loyalty to Rome. He finally died because of his Rome and more than died --for death’ll bring him to ones he fight for-- his son and wife were killed for no reason by Rome. Ironic. But, he did... echoing eternity for what he’s done.

Then I come to a thinking. Will my deed echoing eternity? or it will just become shadow and dust?

story 1: perkenalan

Dear Luv,

Aku punya cerita, hanya sebuah cerita pendek yang menyenangkan. I hope you enjoy it.


Sebuah bel berdenting nyaring ketika kami berkenalan, aku teringat akan suara kerincing kunci biara bertahun silam ketika nafas masih murni oleh embun pagi. Matamu berkilat ketika aku menyampaikan tanya lewat tatapan, oh okay that was the answer then, I got it. Kita sering berbicara tapi bukan lewat kata-kata yang jujur, hanya tatapan yang menusuk dan senyum yang menyayat.

Dimana dia yang lain?
Entah, jawabmu sambil lalu.

Aku tersenyum dan menyilakannya duduk. Mungkin kami akan lebih sering bertemu selama jalannya masih bersilangan dengan jalanmu.

...

luv,
