Amsterdam

IMPERFECT CEO

!! WARNING MATURE CONTENT 19+ !! (Harap bijak dalam memilih bacaan) Kalian tahu apa itu 'Ge Sketchbook Company'? Sebuah perusahaan peneribit terbesar yang ada di tengah indahnya Kota Amsterdam, Belanda. And bingo! Tuan Ge adalah pendirinya. Seorang pria dewasa berusia 40 tahun yang sangat gagah dengan stelan jas mahal yang membalut tubuhnya. Jam tangan berkilau kalau sinar sang surya menerpa permukaannya. Mobil mewah dengan harga fantastis serta rumah bertingkat yang menyaingi tingginya gedung pencakar langit di tengah kota. Rupanya? Sangat tampan! Di usia yang semakin tua, pria dewasa pemilik nama Ge Hansen Joost itu tak pernah mendapatkan hujatan perihal tampangnya yang ikut menua. Semakin tua, semakin mempesona! Itulah yang mereka katakan kala tak sengaja bersua dengannya. Sayangnya, ia sudah berkeluarga. Satu istri dan seorang putri cantik. Mereka memanggilnya Amanda Hansen Ge. Bukan kisah Amanda yang super duper mewah jauh dari kata 'kurang' yang akan aku ceritakan di sini. Namun, kisah ku! Kisah seorang gadis berusia hampir mirip dengan Amanda Hansen, namun aku sedikit tua tiga angka di atasnya. Usiaku 21 tahun. Menjelang 22 tahun jikalau tahun ini berakhir. Namaku adalah Luna. Luna Theresia Skye. Terlalu panjang jikalau kata teman-temanku menyebutnya. Jadi, mereka mempersingkat. Hanya Luna Skye. Kata mereka itu sangat cantik! Secantik paras dan tubuh yang aku milikki. Yang ada di dalam diriku adalah bentuk kesempurnaan yang berhasil dilukiskan semesta untuk ciptaannya. Namun, sayangnya mereka tak melukis indah takdir percintaan yang menyertai dalam setiap langkah yang kuambil. Salah satu kebodohan yang kupunyai dalam kehidupan percintaanku adalah ... aku mencintai bosku itu. Ya, Tuan Ge Hansen Joost! Sudah berkeluarga? Memang! Tapi aku tetap menyukai dan ingin memiliki raga serta rasa dalam diri pria yang 21 tahun lebih tua dariku itu. Gila bukan? Memang. Aku ini memang gila!

He's Not My Type

Elijah has a type. He likes older, sophisticated, mature men. Well-educated men. Men with life experience and passion for arts and social causes. Men who are established in their careers, who've sorted their lives out. His type was Mason Meyers, the doctor he'd met shortly after starting university, and who, last Elijah heard, was still on an extended humanitarian trip to Ghana. His type was Yunis Carter, the postgrad who'd organized open-mic poetry readings at the art gallery before he moved to London last summer. And his type was Nick Davidson, the sociology lecturer with his own weekly independent radio programme, who'd been Elijah's longest relationship right up until they broke up before the Easter holidays. Pieter knows this. And so Elijah can't understand why he's sat here opposite Christian Marshal. To be fair, Christian is older than him. But only by two years. And he certainly doesn't have his life figured out. He works in the record shop where Pieter sometimes gives guitar lessons in the basement. He was in a not-so-successful pop-punk band until they split up and now he posts not-so-popular YouTube song covers. When he's not too busy pranking his housemate, his hobbies include playing footie and playing video games. His speech is almost exaggeratedly from Doncaster. He's never been to uni. His travel experience is limited to clubbing in Amsterdam. Elijah stays to learn all this because he's polite. But he knew as soon as he'd met him outside the pub, leaning against the brick wall with a cigarette dangling between tattooed fingers, beat-up skateboard propped beside him, that this was never going to work.
