CUPID'S STORY: TORN BETWEEN THREE LOVERS

"Beauty of a relationship is when two made a pact that only both knew so much than anyone else could see. It's the mutual victory of an affair which life kept secret of love so pure that the world bears in silence. Nothing last forever, not even a tale that break the ice of golden shibboleth. But what has been written in heaven for two to uphold, as bond kept secret, is hell washed away by truth of heart which has been given in honesty."

::: The real sound that echoed only in silence

CUPID: Rather than you choose someone younger, witty but less convincing with so many guessing games, why don't you choose someone older with similar quality; same age or older but more convincing. In this game you won't lose a thing. Both sparked undeniably true love. But the young one will waste your time compared to the wiser one... so what is your say?

FELICITY: As long I know I'm foolishly in love with him...

CUPID: Well... aren't you leaving the young love because you're chasing the wiser one that now caused the young one in doubt with you?

FELICITY: True... but many things that happened always lead me to the young one.

CUPID: That's what we call fate. You're meant to be with the young one. But that doesn't mean you cannot be in love with the wiser one. The young one maybe not the one you're going to hold in your arms, but at least he's at your pedestal.

FELICITY: I don't think the wiser one will have me too.

CUPID: Therefore, run for your life to the one that has been waiting you for so many years...

FELICITY: Him? The one that's always on the line?

CUPID: Exactly.

FELICITY: But I haven't met him... but he's always there on the line whenever I need comfort. He believes in me though we never meet in person.

CUPID: But you know everything about him, right?

FELICITY: Not everything, only parts that he told me.

CUPID: Have you ever doubt him even once?

FELICITY: .... (thinking for a while)... thought of that, surprisingly close to never.

CUPID: Therefore chase him before someone holds you back. A friendship without doubt will leads to the most faithful love relationship. As far I know, he's far older than any those two. Far better, he's a teacher who has been teaching not only for his country but also for other people's country. He's maybe not as handsome as those two witty men to fit your beauty, but he's not as fool as those handsome men you're waiting for happiness.

FELICITY: But what if I'm wrong...? What if these two men were never in doubt with me? What if they are just...

CUPID: No... they put you in doubt. That's not good my dear. No regret. Chase this guy you haven't met. These two men you've met and love, they're just your past to make you see clearly the way to the teacher.

FELICITY: How can you be so sure?

CUPID: Because I am a cupid. My kind don't waste human time to make them fall in love.

FELICITY: Meaning?

CUPID: I shot 3 arrows to your heart... you're in love with the all three. But I know you... so in return I shot an arrow to each of their heart, and that arrows meant for you. But to realize a dream, you need efforts! Seems you have more than an arrow, THAT has made you a star. A star is a gift, therefore they need to prove to you their love rather than making you in doubt. Because your efforts are to the people, in return their efforts are supposed to you, for the people. But they knew less. Yet for the teacher, I believe he's different. He's the moon that shines the star; you. So go to him before someone else ready to play as your moon.

FELICITY: I'm in doubt...

CUPID: Which part?

FELICITY: I haven't met him!

CUPID: You will... just put an effort and you will. Look at those two you're right now in love, have you ever met them before?

FELICITY: No...

CUPID: You met them, only then you're in love, right?

FELICITY: Yes...

CUPID: How about this teacher?

FELICITY: I love him before I even met him.

CUPID: You get my point?

Suddenly a smile so wide, a face so bright, shines like the most beautiful star that you have never seen twinkling in the dark sky. Though there's no moon to be found, must be the moon has lighten up the star from somewhere else unseen...

Felicity belonged... THE END.

MIND OF A COMIC ARTIST

Have you ever thought that a comic artist's mind is much more deeper than anyone of you can ever imagine? This is what makes me complicated & that's why I want you to know me here. What do I have in mind? Something to share before I leave. But thoughts recorded here remain, till terminate... till death do us part.

[MINDA SEORANG ARTIS KOMIK
Pernahkah kau terfikir bahawa minda seorang artis komik begitu mendalam berbanding sesiapa yang kau terbayangkan? Inilah yang membuatkanku rumit & kerana itu aku mahu kau mengenaliku di sini. Apa yang ku fikirkan? Sesuatu untuk dikongsi sebelum aku pergi. Tetapi ingatan-ingatan yang terakam kekal di sini, sehingga padam... hingga maut memisahkan kita.]

SYMBIOTIC OF LOVE

'Being cute doesn't mean you're adorable, being handsome doesn't mean you're tough, being gorgeous doesn't mean you're attractive, being pretty doesn't mean you're sweet! Once again I want to remind you that I'm not taken by anyone physical beauty unless for flirt favor. But if I'm taken by the beauty of your heart, compared to your physical beauty, then I'm glad for the great package of you! Though love doesn't need a package to lure me... '

[SIMBIOTIK CINTA
Tampak genit tidak bermaksud kamu menarik, tampak tampan tidak bermaksud kamu gagah, tampak mengagumkan tidak bermaksud kamu memikat, tampak cantik tidak bermaksud kamu manis! Sekali lagi ku berpesan bahawa aku tidak mudah terpedaya dengan keindahan fizikal sesiapa kecuali atas alasan berpoya-poya. Tetapi jika aku terpikat dengan keindahan hatimu, berbanding keindahan fizikalmu, maka aku bersyukur dengan pakejmu yang hebat! Walaupun cinta tidak perlukan pakej untuk mengumpanku...]

PANDICULATION

There are those who claimed I have the charisma that can attract people to get into the crowd & listen to my words. Yes, I believe I do have such power... alhamdulillah. I can even make people fall in love with me desperately while I'm still walking gracefully towards my dream unassuaged by their sincerity. But this charisma is God's gift, I will not use it by force demand, only by fair request & I agree to fulfill.

[PANDIKULASI
Mereka bilang aku punya karisma yang bisa memikat manusia hadir berkelompok mendengar bicaraku. Ya, aku percaya aku punya kuasa itu... alhamdulillah. Malah aku bisa bikin manusia jatuh cinta padaku sesungguhnya sedang aku terus berjalan penuh gaya ke arah mimpiku, tidak terpujuk oleh ketulusan mereka. Namun karisma ini anugerah-Nya, tidak akan ku rela bila dipaksa, hanya dengan seadil permintaan & aku redha memenuhinya.]

ASPIRATION

You said "Maybe I'm not so lucky in love..." Truth is all those time when you're into someone, it was because of pleasure & admiration. Once you had it, you fell even deeper for the imperfect of perfection & you thought that's true love. Yet such love is breakable, turned you into despair for a pleasure of admiration & blinds your way to see your true love who is waiting in despair yet unbreakable...

[ASPIRASI
Kau berkata "Mungkin aku tidak bertuah dalam cinta..." Sebenarnya ketika kau taksub kepadanya, adalah kerana kesenangan & kekaguman. Bila sudah memiliki, kau merasa yang terdalam dengan ketidaksempurnaan yang sempurna & kau sangka itu cinta sejati. Namun cinta itu amat rapuh, menjadikan kau kecewa pada kesenangan mengagumi & membutakan jalanmu melihat cinta sejati yang sedang menanti dalam kecewa tidak terapuhkan...]

BURLESQUE

"3x I've made love confession & none replied that they love me too, still they stick on me like lovers. But I never stuck on them when being unanswered didn't develop my motivation, though funny how they got miserable for that. More than 3x I heard love confession from others & none I replied, but they stuck on me until they got miserable!"

[BURLA
"3x aku mengaku cinta & tiada seorang pun mengaku yang sama, namun tetap mereka terikat denganku bagaikan kekasih. Namun aku leraikan ikatan itu bila perakuan tanpa sambutan tidak membina motivasiku, walaupun kelakar melihat mereka porak-peranda kerana itu. Lebih daripada 3x aku mendengar perakuan cinta mereka namun tiada satu pun aku sambut, tetapi mereka terus terikat padaku sehingga porak-peranda!"]

INTENTION

"Let me put it this way... you're not God whom I verbally confess my love & I don't expect to get verbal reply, yet my heart still believe I'm loved without doubt cause God don't hate. So if I verbally confess my love to you, don't expect me to believe you love me too if you're not verbally reply me because I couldn't compare you with God!"

[NIAT
"Beginilah... kau bukan Tuhan yang bisaku perakui cintaku secara lisan tanpa mengharap balasan yang sama, namun hatiku masih percaya aku dicintai sesungguhnya kerana Tuhan tidak membenci. Maka jika aku mengaku cinta kepadamu secara lisan, jangan harap aku bisa percaya kau mencintaiku juga tanpa jawapan lisanmu kerana aku tidak tega membandingkanmu dengan Tuhan!"]

SIREN

"I only want to be happy with what I do & if you're not happy with it please help yourself & get out! As far as I know you need help & I need to do my work, so what's it gonna be? Try to ruin my life just because you're not happy with how good my life is not an option to make yourself happy, I promise you'll be worse! Think of spider, ant & bee; I may look easy to be crushed but please doubt the fragility."

[SIREN
Aku hanya ingin bahagia dengan apa yang ku lakukan & jika kau tidak bahagia kerana itu, maka sila bantu dirimu sendiri & keluar! Setahu aku, kau perlukan bantuan & aku perlu laksanakan tugasku, jadi apa kesimpulannya? Cuba menghancurkan hidupku hanya kerana kau tidak bahagia dengan caraku bukan caramu untuk bahagia, percayalah kau pasti merana! Fikirkan lelabah, semut & lebah; aku mungkin kelihatan senang dipijak namun sila ragui kerapuhan itu."]

REGIME

"I recall that a common piece of advice was to restrain oneself from excessive knowledge. Knowledge leads to unhappiness & makes people permanently dissatisfied. I eventually came to realize that the origin of such poisonous belief was some people's desire to have others fall into their power."

"Saya teringat pada satu nasihat yang menahan seseorang daripada ilmu yang berlebihan. Ilmu membawa kepada kesedihan & membuat orang tidak berpuas hati selamanya. Saya akhirnya menyedari bahawa asal-usul kepercayaan beracun itu adalah keinginan sesetengah orang untuk melihat orang lain jatuh ke dalam kuasa mereka."
