PESAWAT berbadan besar yang kutumpangi melaju cepat meninggalkan London. Penerbangan ini nonstop menuju Singapura. Gadis dengan rambut dikucir dan seperangkat touchscreen di tangan, berisi corat-coret daftar pertanyaan, tersenyum gugup di kursi berlapis kulit asli di sebelahku. Aku sedang tidak berselera untuk tersenyum, cukup menyeringai, menatapnya datar. ”Silakan,” kataku. ”Maaf, wawancara ini sudah berkali-kali ditunda. Kami sudah berusaha menyesuaikan jadwal. Tapi begitulah, tidak mudah mengejar kesibukan Anda.” Dia sedikit percaya diri tampaknya. Senyumnya lebih baik. Aku mengangguk. Aku tahu, tidak perlu dijelaskan. Janji pertama bertemu di Jakarta kemarin pagi batal karena aku sudah berangkat menghadiri konferensi. Editor senior majalah minggu- an itu spesial meneleponku, minta maaf, bilang wawancara ini

THOMAS is a quiet boy who grows up without emotional attention. At home, he lives under pressure and shame. At school, he is invisible until he discovers a simple truth: attention can be taken from those who are weaker. Laughter becomes validation. Cruelty becomes a shortcut to being seen. For the first time, Thomas feels alive. Years later, Thomas finds another way to be noticed. Not through open violence, but through achievement, status, and quiet superiority. He rises above others and learns to look down on them. Yet changing methods does not erase consequences. The past Thomas never truly faced lingers in silence. As reality slowly catches up and guilt begins to consume him, he is forced to confront a life built entirely around himself. In the end, when understanding arrives too late and no attention can fill the emptiness anymore, Thomas chooses death as his way out. THOMAS is a psychological tragedy about craving validation, ego, and what happens when self-awareness comes after everything has already been lost.

Life is full of surprises. One may have dreams in terms of big achievements in the growth and development journey, however, in the process, things change for the better or worse. What does this scenario tell us. That imaginations or plans in life are one thing and actual results as planned or not planned are another. It is therefore critical to be psychologically prepared for anything even when one is working towards premeditated goals. We have seen or witnessed these things happen, I being one of the victims, to the betterment or detriment of the individuals involved. Plans are either achieved or shattered in the full glare of the affected people. One may have wanted to build a house of some sort, marry a woman or man of certain level of education, color, height, social and economic background, achieve certain level of education and professional background, be a person of repute in a way different from what the rest have experienced and related scenarios but which results are not ultimately implemented or achieved. Hence, what we need to understand in a nutshell is that we should expect surprises in life either negatively or positively. Here, we should be ready to accept such scenarios because nothing is perfect. Given second chance it is possible to correct situations for the better and/or worse depending on the strategy or approach embraced. Regrets in life is very common scene in life since apparently no one has ever made it as planned; people struggle to be at the level planned but practically that come to pass without reaching the expected heights in life. The reason why people keep on working hard or smart to be where they want to be in life. But because life itself is not permanent, people die before realizing their full potential, though practically it has never happened in the life of most people.
