About New Life

Airports and the air separate New York and Jakarta,

The restlessness in your chest and the secrets waiting in the heart of poetry are separated by words,

So is longing,

Between islands and a crazy adventurer,

    Batas- M. Aan Mansyur



        Rangga had to leave for New York, he could not say goodbye to Cinta other than sending a poem. That afternoon, after reading Rangga's poem, Cinta caught up with Rangga and they went their separate ways. 


        Rangga went to New York and he was supposed to be there. Leaving Jakarta, leaving behind the old life that gave him happiness. Life is like a flowing river. Of course, don't think if you can't swim. Anyone will be swept away into new lives. 


        Rangga has lived in New York for several years. It turns out he is not tied to Jakarta. And it turns out New York is a romantic city, more romantic than Paris. 

       

         He found himself in New York. Not in Jakarta.
