SOLMET

Temen ku, Ebert Tobing, suatu hari dulu pernah bertanya..apakah aku percaya pada soulmete, belahan jiwa.
Tentu saja aku percaya, dan menurutku, tidak semua orang bertemu dangan soulmete-nya, atau tidak semua orang diberi keistimewaan hidup berdekatan dengan soulmete nya.
Bahkan sebagian orang yakin jika soulmete bisa saja diciptakan dengan kedekatan seperti lembaga perkawinan.

Soulmete is a person with whom you have an immediate connection the moment you meet -- a connection so strong that you are drawn to them in a way you have never experienced before. As this connection develops over time, you experience a love so deep, strong and complex, that you begin to doubt that you have ever truly loved anyone prior. Your soulmate understands and connects with you in every way and on every level, which brings a sense of peace, calmness and happiness when you are around them. And when you are not around them, you are all that much more aware of the harshness of life, and how bonding with another person in this way is the most significant and satisfying thing you will experience in your lifetime. You are also all that much aware of the beauty in life, because you have been given a great gift and will always be thankful.-urbandictionary

Tapi bagaimana mereka yang tidak bisa bersatu dengan soulmete nya? Apakah dengan sadar memilih orang lain dan berusaha hidup dengan nya adalah suatu pilihan terbaik? Bukankah jika kenangan menjadi fantasi yang membelenggu emosi, hidup hanya berupa keindahan semu?

Atau seperti Severus Snape?
Melalui hari dengan penyesalan mendalam..sepanjang hidupnya?

“But this is touching, Severus,” said Dumbledore seriously. “Have you grown to care for the boy, after all?”


“For him?” shouted Snape. “Expecto Patronum!”

From the tip of his wand burst the silver doe. She landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office, and soared out of the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.

“After all this time?”

“Always,” said Snape.
