Saturday Afternoon
Rumah Faris dan Hana.
Dua buah map tergeletak berdampingan di atas meja makan.
Sama-sama sederhana.
Tidak ada foto.
Tidak ada desain berlebihan.
Hanya sebuah sampul putih bersih.
Di tengahnya tertulis satu judul.
Marriage Profile
Hana mengusap pelan salah satu map.
“Simple.”
Faris melirik.
“Very Jakub.”

Halaman berikutnya.
A Few Words About Me
Hello.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
I don’t believe a few pages can fully describe a person.
But perhaps they are enough to help us decide whether a conversation is worth having.
If, after reading this profile, you feel we are not compatible, please don’t feel uncomfortable.
I sincerely wish you nothing but goodness.
Hana membaca perlahan.
Lalu tersenyum.
“Mas…”
“Hm?”
“Ini bahkan pembukanya sudah terdengar seperti beliau lagi ngobrol.”

Halaman berikutnya.
Who I Am
I’m naturally reserved.
I usually listen more than I speak.
Not because I dislike conversations…
but because I prefer understanding people before responding.
I enjoy routines.
Books.
Black coffee.
Travelling with a purpose.
And conversations where silence never feels uncomfortable.
Some of my friends say I overthink before speaking.
They’re probably right.
If I become quiet…
I’m most likely thinking.
Not upset.
⸻
Faris tertawa kecil.
“Ini favoritku.”
“Yang mana?”
“If I become quiet…”
“…I’m most likely thinking.”
“…Not upset.”
“Mungkin itu perlu dicetak tebal.”
