Pertemuan pertama saya dengan Kikinyo bukanlah suatu hal yang cukup istimewa untuk diingat. Semua terjadi sambil lalu dan saya selalu merasa kalau she's just that popular girl with all the privileges: pretty, rich, get along well with other people, and loves the spotlight. Dimana saya bukanlah tipe yang akan berinteraksi terlalu dekat dengan banyak orang-orang populer seperti itu. I hate the spotlight and I hate to do a little talk to strangers. I always think i need a book about how to mingle with other human everytime i have to meet a bunch of people in some social events dan Kikinyo adalah kebalikan dari saya. She loves the crowd and she can handle the situation well. Sebagai pecinta rom-com dan segala film drama bernuansa teenlit, udah bakal kebayang banget kira-kira doi bakal jadi peran yang semacam apa. She'll be that poppy moore in Wild Child or Elle wood in Legally Blonde (and I'll be that drippy girl who loves to finished all the leftover ice cream inside the dorm's refrigerator). Tipikal cewe-cewe yang punya geng perempuan yang hobi belanja dan dandan, party goers, idaman para senior populer, self-centered dan sebagainya.
But, no. Setelah 2 tahun terakhir menghabiskan sisa hidup perkuliahan S2 saya dengan Kikinyo, membuat saya berpikir bahwa dia justru lebih mirip Rachel Green di series Friends. If you ever watched the Friends Series, you'll find that Rachel Green has a very-very great character development amongs the other cast on that tv show. She goes from marrying for money to a full-fledged career woman.
While there are countless "poor little rich girl" characters in film and television shows, Rachel Green feels very unique. She does have some trials and tribulation since she break ups with her rich-fiance in the begining of the show, and since she works as a waitress and does struggle before she gets her dream job and settle, I dont feel like she simply gets everything handed to her.
All the first impressions were just fake optics. Saya tahu bahwa kehidupan teman saya ini pun tidak semudah yang saya judge di awal pertemuan. She didnt simply get all the privileges handed to her. Semakin hari pun saya meyakini bahwa dia semakin bekerja keras untuk mendapatkan semuanya-- Karir dan segala pencapaiannya. Because you know, you don't have to be great, you just have to have the will to constantly improve yourself.
2 tahun struggling bareng di dunia perkuliahan membuat saya sadar bahwa setiap orang punya kisah struggle-nya masing-masing. Kikinyo adalah satu dari sekian banyak teman saya yang membuat saya banyak belajar baik dari gimana cara dia berprogress dan juga gimana dia nge-treat orang lain dengan baik.
She's smart, fashionable, ditzy and a great friend indeed ♥

Only 2 years but she has witnessed me going through heartbreaks and dissapointments, understand how sometimes I could be so unlovable (ga keitung berapa kali udah kikinyo kena marah-marahnya aku kalo lagi super cranky hahaha maapkan ya :')
Saya ingat saya pernah jadi manusia super menyebalkan seharian dan kinyo kena dampak omelan saya hari itu. Saya sadar betul orang lain mungkin bakal kesal dan mungkin balik marah atau malah jadi jauh. But she didnt. Gantinya justru seplastik penuh makanan kesukaan saya (dan warnanya kuning semua) dan simple notes bertuliskan: I know you have a bad day, I hope these things will brighten your mood. Langsung mewek di tempat :')
Every time I felt broken and defeated, she reminded me that I was worthy of someone better, because of the way she treats me.
And I will always remember that. I hope that there would be more women supporting each other like this during all the challenging and confusing time of our lives. Cheers!
