The Butler, Raikhal Monterez.

In this fleeting pause between ordinary moments, allow me to offer you a little piece of myself. Perhaps I’ve wandered into your view for a reason—perhaps just a curious twist of timing. Still, I do wonder: Did I catch your attention? I hope so. Describing myself has never been my strong suit, but I’ll try anyway—just enough for you to see a part of me. The name’s Raikhal Monterez, though most simply call me Ical or Rai, whichever feels right to you. If you feel like giving me a new nickname though, something random or sweet or weird in a good way, I’m all for it.

Just a warning: introvert mode might be on at first, but don’t worry it doesn’t last long! Once I get comfortable with you, I probably won’t even be able to shut my mouth (Yapping mode). I can speak both Indonesian and English for daily conversations. English isn’t my first language, so I might not get the grammar perfect every time—but don’t worry, I can easily switch to Indonesian if that makes you feel more comfortable. Whatever works best for you.

Since my love language is Quality Time, I tend to get attached easily—I tend to miss people easily, like I will miss you… all the time. And I’ll probably want to spend more and more time with you doing anything as long as we’re together. We could watch your favorite genre of movies or even anime (Sorry, aslinya wibu nerd abis). I’m currently into Wuthering Waves and Roblox, so if you play too, that might be our perfect excuse to spend way too much time together. Another love language of mine is Acts of Service, which means I’ll definitely keep finding excuses to do cute things for you. Like sending random “Udah makan belom?” texts or lowkey acting like your personal assistant but only ‘cause I care (a lot).

When it comes to music, I don’t really stick to one genre I love Pop, Hip-Hop, LoFi, R&B, even K-Pop. Some artists I adore: Frank Ocean, Tyler the Creator, Beabadoobee, 2pac (#WestSide4Life but I do love Biggie) Shiloh Dynasty, Cigarettes After Sex, The Weeknd, No Na, ALLDAY PROJECT, NIKI, and JKT48 (Maaf udah wibunerd + wota lagi). I’m also deep into animangas, I lately hype: Gokurakugai, Kaiju No.8, Dandadan, Chainsaw Man, and a bunch more I’m too shy to list because the list might never end. And another plot twist, I love Formula 1. My favorite drivers in this season is Max Verstappen tanpa basa basi langsung saja mainkan wilhelmus nya. Tapi kalau ditanya all the time favorite tuh Kimi Räikkönen. But as a team I’ll always have a soft spot for Mercedes.

Thus, with humble tone and fluttering heart, I do hope destiny permits us to meet in near time—to speak of stars, secrets, and silly little things. Until that moment, let thy thought wander gently to mine.
