KEMBARA ABADI

Jika suatu saat nanti kau mendapat khabar tentangku, pulanglah.

Meskipun khabar itu dari ayahku yang tak pernah kau tatap tetap matanya.

Ketahuilah aku yang menjemputmu datang.

Iringi aku di perjalanan ini buat terakhir kali.

Kali ini aku tidak akan mempersoal jika kamu bertemuku dengan sendal dan celana santaimu.

Kerana ku juga akan santai dengan persalinanku.

Hantarkan aku sampai bawah.

Maaf jika kali ini kamu pulang dengan pakaian yang kotor.

Maaf jika kali ini wangimu juga bercampur haruman tanah basah.

Maaf jika kali ini aku tidak menyahut kata selamat darimu.

Maaf.

Gusti puteri
