A Sudden Light

There are no Tart and birthday song today. I decided to stay in my room
for my birthday this moment. I woke up and sat in front of mirror, when I
looked at my watch it was 8 AM. I took a candle then lit it, it is not to
celebrate my birthday but to commemorate something. I just stared at
the small bobbing fire, suddenly the tears fell down on my cheeks. I
wanted to blow out the candles. The wind from window called me to the
balcony, I took my book then opened the door, when I stepped out the
soothing wind greeted me friendly. It seemed that it wanted to take me
far away from here to my past.

Mom always says that I have to thank God, because I am alive. However,
live is a hard part for me, I never think that life is a valuable thing right
now. I leant on a couch reading my novel from my favourite author J.K
Rowling, I have read her books over and over until the copies are ruined.
It doesn’t mean book which I have only Harry Potter, I have many other
books. I like reading, because it allows me to go wherever and whoever I
want to escape my life for a while which is full of loneliness. I never go
outside since two years, because I don’t want to be a subject to talk
about. My mom who always worries about my condition, decided to move
from Jakarta to this town since something happened. Therefore, she is my
only friend now, I love her a lot, due to friends and boyfriend will come
and go whenever they want, but mom is forever.

I am not either a college student or a worker. Two years ago I had a plan
to study in one of famous universities in Jakarta and spent my spare time
by working. I had got a scholarship majoring Fiction Writing, I had a lot of
friends, but two weeks before my departure I cancelled it, I am afraid if
they would feel uncomfortable when looked at me and I would be their
object of talking.

It was 8.30 P.M. I fell asleep since afternoon when I looked at the window
there was no mom’s car. She usually arrives home at 7 p.m. does she still
look for my birthday gift? Anyway, my Mom always gives impressive
presents, such as an iPad, and vouchers for book shopping, the way she
gives is not directly. Two years ago I got an iPad from a Currier which had
no sender’s name on it, last year I got an email from a stranger that gave
me a code for shopping online in bookstore freely. And all of them were
from Mom. I took my mobile phone there were 7 times missing calls from
a strange number. I didn’t know that my mobile phone rang because I set
silent on my phone. When I want to called it my phone rang, then I hang
it. There is a man’s voice answered. I assumed that was not a present
from my mom that always impresses me, because it was not impressive
at all.

Some people say that they get this feeling in pit of their stomach when
they have a premonition that something bad is about to happen, and it is
happening on me now. My body feels weak, and my bones are no longer
able to sustain my body so that I sit on the floor, I am crying hysterically.
He said that Mom got an accident and died on the spot. My mom died on
my birthday.

The burial ceremony had hold this morning, it was my first time to go
outside since two years, but I used shawl to cover half of my face. I
decided to use hoodie or shawl when I go out from my apartment later,
because it helps me. All of her wealth had been given away to the people,
she only gave this apartment to me which should not be on sold, and she
didn’t leave any money for me to survive. So, I just count on my savings
which all will over. Meanwhile, I don’t know how to earn money later.

I took my laptop to find a job, I browsed and checked one by one. There
were so many jobs vacancy which made me interested in them, but it
required at least a bachelor degree, on the other hand I never go to
university. So, I applied as a shopkeeper in a second book store. Even
though the wage is not too high at least it could earn money to survive
later.

It was 7 A.M when I look at my wristwatch, but the streets were jammed,
the sound of horn sounded everywhere, the shops on the road side were
still closed. I couldn’t wait for my first day to work. The sun and the
breeze in the morning accompanied my steps to the bus stop. Some
people were busy with their activities while waiting for a bus. When a bus
came everyone scramble to get on included me, when I wanted to get up
there was someone pulled my bag so that I fell, my bag was stolen along
with my savings my laptop and mobile phone.

I didn’t have any money, the valuable thing I have are only mom’s mobile
phone and books which I didn’t want to sell. What I could do was cried, I
go to mom’s bed room and laid on her bed, her smell and fingerprints are
still left behind in this room, and I closed my eyes hopping to see and
hear her voice to reduce this homesickness and this sadness.

In the midnight I went out from bedroom to roof of apartment. I sat on

the roof looked down above street. I can’t help thinking about suicide. I
think a lot about death. Particularly today, it has been a week without
mom, and I don’t know the way to live. Does my life is still valuable for
me if God took mom from me, separated me from dad, and gave this
mark which made me far from people? If God who made me this way, is it
OK if I blame him for what he gave and took. Lose your own mom… could
you describe the word of lose? I can, Lose mom is like, absence of
knocking on my room which came earlier than my alarm. Lose is lack of
yelling my name from dining room, and told me to have breakfast. Lose is
lack of my loyal audience to hear my complaining of this life.

Police had checked and replaced mom’s phone yesterday, they said that
the cause of mom get an accident because she played phone. I checked
her phone there were no inbox, outbox, incoming and out coming call, but
when I see the gallery there was a video of her in a car, it took on March
23rd which is my birthday, it took one and a half hour before I got a news
about her, then I played it.

Happy Birthday Kathrine, I don’t believe you are 20 now, you got older
I’m getting older. I don’t know how many years again I will accompanied
you, as a mother I just can pray for your best to face this life and hope
you have a very nice life. Did you remember when we watched Finding
Dorry together? Did you know what Dorry said? “When life gets you
down, you know what you gotta do? Just keep swimming” you are alive,
you are blessed by God,. No one ever live without feeling how regret is.
Promise me you never stop swimming before you get your seashore even
waves try to crush you there! Just keep swimming! I love you.

I closed my eyes and tears fell to my cheeks, the video made me miss her
so bad, but unfortunately for me when I cried, there were footsteps
moved swiftly, I exhaled quietly I didn’t want to look back, my eyes fixed
to the silhouette who is standing, he is definitely man, he is kicking one of
chair behind him repeatedly, over and over without awarding me, and
then he sat and held his head in his hands. I thought he felt pain in his
leg after kicking that chair, because that chair is made from iron.

“Do you want to kill yourself by jumping from this building?” he asked I
looked around to find out who was person that he asked. However, there
were one him and I, it made me feel uncomfortable to be on a rooftop in
the middle of the night with a stranger now, I looked at back and stared
at the guy a bit, and he is standing beside the chair now. His hands
rested on his hips, when I didn’t answer his question he stepped closer
and asked again.
“What’s your name?” “Kathrine”
“Will you please aside from there Kathrine?”
I glanced down at my legs then look back at him
“No thanks”
“Please aside, there are many empty chairs here, you can fall down and
die” I stood and aside from the edge of the building
“So what’s the matter on that chair until make you so angry?” I asked
He didn’t answer my question, but ask
“why do you here?”
“I just need fresh air here, I don’t want to kill myself,” that’s a lie.
“Are you sure? Usually someone who is crying, alone on the high building
will kill themselves by jumping”
I did not answer his question, when I looked at him he stared at me was
different from the other it was like I don’t have this mark on my face. It
was the first time a guy saw me like him.
“why the way you see me like that?
“What’s wrong with your face?” he asked with his sharp blue eyes full of
curiosity
“Should I answer your question when you haven’t answered mine?”
“I’ll answer it after you” he
“It is because of accident”
“Could you tell me the story?”
“No” “Please” he begged

I was no sure to tell this story for a man that I never know before, I
inhaled and started answering “Two years ago on 23rd March 2014, we
went to a restaurant for celebrating my birthday. My dad fought with my
mom in a car, I hate him so much, because he is a grumpy man. That day
maybe he didn’t want to give full rein his anger to mom so he drove fast
then everything went black, our car burn, so did my face. Finally, this
mark display on my face. I guess, because of it he will change to be a
patient father, but it made him worse by leaving my mom and I to
married with another woman”
“So you want to kill yourself because of that mark?”
“Because my mom died a few days ago” oh God my answer
“I am sorry to hear that” he said guilty
“Your turn” I said slowly
“I kicked that chair because I am angry with myself who cannot safe my
patience”
“Are you a doctor?” I interrupted
“Yeah, an Oncologist”
he is silent for a while then speak again
“in my experience with them I could take a lesson that live is a gift, live is
a valuable thing for all, especially people who suffer cancer, because they
paid as much as money so that they could get a word which is very
precious “Live” They fought with cancer in order to live longer so that can
reach their dream but their life for it is limit, their chances of winning is
nothing. On the other hand, you… you want to end your life when many
people scramble to get it”
“I know mom is part of our life. My mom also had died, and it caused of
cancer. I broke in pieces, because I couldn’t help my own mom, but life is
go on. Even though I couldn’t help my mother at least I can help the
other moms by helping them to live longer than my mom. If you think
you couldn’t live without her you have to think how she lived without your
father, her other half that she loved gone with another woman. Just find a
way to solve your difficulties. Sometimes we may feel hopeless, and there
is nothing much we can do, but if you think about it carefully, I presume
you will find a solution.”

My tears came on my cheeks, because I never think about what she felt
when she had to support me and her life without a husband. I knew, even
my dad is a grumpy man but she was still love him so much, because she
never talk any ill and complained about him in front of me at all, when
dad was angry and do something that hurt her, she always forgives him.
It is like some people said that love forgives anything.

“What about my face” my voice weak

“The first impression is face but, if they see people from faces. It means
their hearts are not beautiful” he said
“But sometimes some people fall in love with a face first and not what’s
behind it” I said
“Everyone is loved because of their talent and works not because of their
face, just expose your talent”

I was silent for a while and looked up at the sky, the light of the moon
which is very bright enlightened this roof and my mind which never think
clearly have to think over his words. If my mom said I have to keep
swimming what actually I do right now is shrinking and resigning, but this
guy remained me, that it was not the end, because there is still a float.
In addition, if what actually I do right now is to be a lover, it is the time
where I have to allow myself to be loved by other people. If mom can live
without her other half, I have to be like her that can live without my other
soul, my mom.

Every place has a story and in this place, I have one that I want to tell. In
this place, I was standing up, puffing up my chest, holding on the iron-
wire fence in front of me, looking at the vast expanse of sea, and I saw
toward the big city across the sea. The city was my home. The Light City,
I named it.

In that city, I felt happy and sad at the same time. But, the light of city
made me strong to face all of problems that came into my life. I have
found many people in that city. They have been the stars in my heart.
But, they shone just a moment, until I realized that what I need was not
a star, but I need a sun which can enlighten my life.

Now, I will tell you about the stars. The first star, his name is Ul. For me,
he was a friendly star and cared about me. He helped me to solve my
problems. Unfortunately, I misinterpreted his care to me. I thought that
he cared about me because he liked me. How silly am I. And when I
realized it, the light of this star in my heart had been extinguished.

The second star, his name is Ad. He comes from my city. If you ask me
about the coolest star that I have known, he is Ad. One thing which I like
the most from this star, he always speaks straight to the point.
Sometimes, I was embittered by his harsh words. But, I still miss him
with that attitude, because it looked like he cared about me. But, one
mores again, this star shone in my heart just a moment. At the end, his
light would go away. I realized that his light was not for me, and it would
never be mine.

The third star, his name is Red. This star has different life with mine. I
lived at east and he lived at west. However, the differences between us
made me interested to him. He gave me many surprises every day and
tried to introduce me to his west life. Because we were very different, so,
his light in my heart stopped to shine. Actually, there was one thing that
we could not be tolerated in our differences, yeah, we had different faith.

The last star which have ever been in my heart, his name is An. He hurt
me so much until now. According to my opinion, his light looks beauty if it
is seen from the distance. But, if you get close to him, you will find that
there is no light again. This star hurt me by his presence. Yeah, he
pretended to like me but actually he did not. For me, it was so painful.
Until now, I am hurt so much. My heart is broken. His light has been
extinguished by the time.

I want to show to the last star that I will find my sun immediately. I want
he feel sorry because he hurt me so much and let his light in my heart
disappear. So, I decided to be sturdy and strong, pretending if there is
nothing happened. I don’t want to be a weak person in front of him,
because I am okay without him. All I need is just my sun.

And here, I come back again to this place, I am standing up with my

pride, looking at the Light City in front of me, trying to shout to the last
star which have been there for long time. I want to tell him that if he look
at me now, I am really really fine. Here, I am standing up, far away from
the Light City, but it everything is fine, because I always feel that my sun
stays by my side for lightening my life. My beloved sun, his name is Al.

“Claudia, this is great moment. I hope you can feel it.”

“Yes i do.”

When you have a guy best friend, never expect one of you will not fall
into the black magic that is called love. There is no friendship between a
guy and a girl. No, there is no such thing. Yes, deny it all you want! She
knows you don’t believe it. But please, trust her on this, she did not
believe it too at first.

“So, how are you?” he asked. What is wrong with him? They were just
talking to each other last night on the phone.

She sat there across from him. The food between them were starting to
be cold. The salmon on her plate was awry cooked. She could tell by the
pinkish color on the bottom. Talk to me! You’re just spitballing here and I
want to know whatever it is that you are hiding!

“Are you going to talk to me or not?” he asked again and this time he was
staring deep into her eyes.

She shifted on her seat uneasily. “Yes,” she replied without looking
directly at his face. “What are we going to talk about?”

“Anything you want,” he smiled knowing that she was still keen to
respond.

You asked me out, therefore you are the one who needs to talk! Oh my
God, he is such a buffoon! She knew there was something insignificantly
fishy when he asked her out for lunch. They are best friends or were, well
she thought it was something more than that between them. She always
has thought of that. Almost five years they were going nowhere. He treats
her so well, like no best friend would treat each other. She feels like a
princess whenever they are together. He teases her like a brother to his
sister. He takes care of her like best friends. They fight like a couple. But
none of those seems real for her right now. They were there, physically,
like two strangers on a disastrous blind date. She knew she wouldn’t want
to be there if it wasn’t because of her curiosity. Not only that, but it was
because she cares.

“So, why are you taking me out?” she asked him with no suspicious tone
in her voice. Like she already knew what will happen but still wants
confirmation.

“What do you mean why?” he looked hurt. Well, he should be. “I just
want to have a nice lunch with you. Is that wrong?”
Yes, it is wrong. You don’t usually ask me out for lunch, I mean just the
two of us! We usually go with seven other people because you never want
to be just the two us! Why is that so wrong? Are you disgusted when
people stare at us and think we are as a couple? Am I that disgraceful to
you? I know I am not pretty like other girls you always have a crush on.
Geez, are you going to give me a lecture about something?

“No,” she replied after having a debate in her own head. “Not at all. It’s
just…”

He bent over slightly.

“It’s just not you,” she giggled awkwardly. “It’s just unusual.”

He laughed, like really laughed. She stomped a little in her seat.

There was an awkward moment. He cleared his throat.

“So, who’s hitting on you at the moment? Come on, tell me about this
guy…”

What was that supposed to mean? “No one,” she replied.

“You sure?” he teased her, but she is not up for a game right now.

There is nobody that can make me fall in love like you do. “I swear! To be
honest,” she was itching from the words in the tip of her tongue. “No one
deserves condign affection from me. They didn’t give me that comfort
feeling, not like you do to me.”

There was another awkward silent again.

“Well, what about you?” she took control the whole situation. She is like a
tigress, trying to pretend that she is strong but she is actually scared. “I
mean, what about all that girls you used to tell me about?”

He moved uncomfortably in his seat. She knew he was hiding something.

“I’m done with them.” he said plainly. But in his last tone, there was
something else. His eyes were telling her that she should be ready for
what’s coming next. “But there is someone,” he finally said after taking a
long deep breath.

“Who?” she asked in agony.

“You don’t know, do you?” He smirked. What was that for?

She shook her head so very slow and he didn’t notice.

“You know her very well,” he mumbled with his head bowing so low. He
played his fork in his left hand but he was staring at his half-eaten food.
“She’s one of us.”

She tried to recall all the girl’s names in her group. Well, there were only
five of them including her. Two are taken, it left her with two other girls.
At first, she had this thought that it might be her. Maybe he was about to
confess his feeling towards her. Really? She could feel a little joy in
herself.

But this is all bogus! It can’t be me! But he is so nice to me today, and
that is what makes it all so fishy. I mean, why would he wait until now to
just say if he loves me? Why not years ago?

“She’s one the closest to you,” he suddenly said like knowing she was
being too self-conscious.

The closest? It is you imbecile little moron! But I guess, it is supposed to

be a girl then?! Wait… Oh my God…

“Since when?” she asked in a low voice. She almost screamed, she meant
to. But her self-control wouldn’t let her and instead she whispered. A
whimpering sound came within her.

He was contemplating at first, but told her everything. He found out that
he likes her three years ago. He doesn’t explain how and why he likes
her. He told her their little getaway to the most beautiful place and all. He
also told her that she felt the same way, but she couldn’t tell her best
own best friend because it might hurt her. Yes, it does hurt! All she could
do was listening and nodding, smiling even. But inside her, there was a
battle. A part of her wants to scream and run away, the other wants her
to cry and explain everything to him. That she is still in love with him, she
is still waiting for him, she is still hoping for a fairy tale ending, and most
of all she still wants him.

“Are you okay?” he asked when she didn’t respond anymore.

she felt the tears prickled in the corner of her eyes. She stood up
abruptly, her chair made a squeaking noise it makes him cringed. “I need
to go to the bathroom,” she rushed to the back. Some people stared at
her when she passed their tables.

Why her? Why not any other girl out there like before? Why my own best
friend? I told her everything about him. I told her about this devastating
date. I told her EVERYTHING. She was also the only one who encouraged
me to come to him first. She was the one who kept supporting me to be
with him. She told me I would be good for him! Why? Wasn’t she hurt to
back me up to date her own lover? Why would she hurt herself for me?

She suddenly felt guilty, but why? It is her the one who’s hurting right
now. It is her who is betrayed. It is her to suffer from all this cheap
drama!

She went back to the table just to find him looking at her with a smile on
his face. You are disgusting! “I’m going home,” she said taking her purse.
She took out several bills from her purse and tossed them to the table in
front of him.

“Wait,” he did the same and ran after her. “At least let me give you a
ride.”

She kept walking.

“Please, wait!” he pulled her hand. She shirked away from his grasp and
turned to face him.

“Go away!” she said. Her voice was trembling badly. “Go away before I
start to scream!”

“Please, don’t do this!” he pleaded. His eyes were full with sorrow. But
why? He is the evil! “I can’t lose you, please!”

The words slapped her right on her cheeks. “Why? So that you can still
hurt me? Is it fun for you to watch me hurt? Is it some kind of an
entertainment for you?”

“No, I don’t mean it like that!” He sighed. “Listen, you are my best friend!
I don’t want to just end it like this. I still want us to hang out, to debate
over silly things, to make fun of you until your face turns red like a
tomato, to be with you when I need to tell all my problems. Don’t go!”

She laughed. Yes, it was funny! Funny how someone can say that when
he doesn’t even love her and he loves someone else. “Ha!”

“Listen to me, buddy! If you want me to stay, you can’t be with her. But if
you want to be with her, let me go!”

“I can’t,”

“You are one selfish little brat, aren’t you?” she narrowed her eyes. A
frown formed on her face. “You have to choose! Because she is my best
friend! I don’t want to hurt her,” she paused. “And I don’t to be hurt
anymore.” she whispered still trying to hold on to her tears.
“Please,” he still went on begging her to stay. “I can’t lose you anymore. I
know you are going to disappear after today. It is hard enough for me to
let you go!”

“What about her? Don’t you care?”

“I’m not even going back to her,”

Liar.

“All I ask of you is just to choose,” she said softly. “I might disappear
after today, but that is because I need some time. If you want to be with
her, I am all happy for you both. My best friends are finally happy
together. But I can’t let you to have us both. If you are my best friend,
you have to let me go and be gone!”

He didn’t say anything.

She knew that was her time to go. No more of this. She’s had enough of
this; of him, of life, of everything. She walked away thinking she will
never fall in love again that easy. This makes her believe that a guy and a
girl can never be best friend. She hates this world for being so unfair. But
eventually, she will forgive but not forget. She has learned something and
that is to never trust anyone but herself. She is moving on. She will,
someday soon. She will be happy again. But for now, let her take
sometime and grief. Before she gets back up and start everything fresh.

The season keeps rolling without loosen its pace.

It has been a long time since the last moment I wear my lovely pink
sandals which we bought together years ago. I take them out, and they’re
dusty all over.
And it has been two springs for me to bear with this distance.
I’m sorry.
I’m still as lame as I was a child. Such an unreliable person, right? Even
until now, I can’t stare directly into your bright brown eyes.

For a long time, I’ve been trying to reveal my feeling toward you, which is
more real than only words, and closer than your breathe.
However, my feet does still hesitate and keep measuring the right time to
reach you.
And here, in the other side of seasons, I’m still hiding.

I wonder, do you still remember at that day, when we were together on

our way home after-school?
I was so desperate since you were failed to say something important to
me. And for the countless time, too, i was failed to say an answer I had
prepared days before.
Until then, suddenly I heard my friends calling. So finally, hopelessly I
chose to go with them, after biding a cold “good bye” to you.

Again, once again I’m failed to say that how much I love you, more than
just a friend.
Somehow, this failure leaves a great regret inside our heart. I don’t know
about you, but I feel my confidence melts down, leaving my heart in
dryness and hopeless about you. And since all of those, we’re making
distance, which is frustrating me to the most.
Is it even not a problem?
I just don’t want my lament to be sighed out. So, standing here on the
wave breaker, feeling the soft breeze through my curves, I’m thinking
hard to decide what I should do.

For this long, we’re only watching the season. It keeps rolling, while we
do nothing.
Are you satisfied with that?

For a long time, I’ve been trying to reveal my feeling toward you, which is
more real than only words, and closer than your breathe.
Once in a time, I just had to walk one step closer to you. However, these
feet did still hesitate and kept measuring the right time.
Until finally, the season took over my pace. You went away further, once
again leaving me in dry and hopeless soul.

So, right now, I have decided.

I realized that I have a dream to stay with you forever. I also can’t bear
with this kind of bitterness any longer.
It’s enough! I have to close this distance! I’m gonna run to you for that.
And this time, I promise, I would stare deep into your eyes.
So, right now, still standing on the wave breaker and holding my courage,
I’m thinking about words I’m going to say. Please wait for me… I will
come in no time.

Ah, what a dazzling breeze…

Monica was sitting and crying on her chair. Her friends stood around her
and tried to calm her down. The girl was so furious for she had lost her
purse.

“Where did you put it, Monica?” asked Bobby, the head of the class,
confused.
“In my bag,” sobbed Monica, “and it is always there. Nobody knows I
always bring it everyday to school.”
“And… when did you realize that it has gone?” asked Bob again.
Monica tried to recall. “When I returned from library, I saw my bag was
slightly opened. Then, I checked my bag. I was shocked that my purse
had already gone! Somebody must have stolen it when I left the
classroom!”
“Did you see anybody at that time?”
Monica shook her head immediately.
“No, I didn’t. I just bumped into Dean near the door when he was running
out of the room.”
“He ran out of the room?” Bobby’s eyebrows were lifted. Bobby looked at
his friends. “Then, where is he now?”
Some of the students there just raised their shoulders or shook their
heads for not knowing the answer. Bobby breathed a sigh of confusion.
“I’m sure he took it!” cried Monica.

“Wait, Monica!” said Bobby. “Are you really sure that Dean had taken
your purse?”
“He was the only student in this room during the break, and he ran when
he met me. Moreover, he is the naughtiest kid among us. I’m sure he did
it!”
“Well, be patient, Monica. Let’s wait for him,” said Bobby.

Fifteen minutes later, Dean showed up. He was very puzzled to get
suspicious stares from his friends.
“What’s the matter, guys?” asked the plump boy.
“Monica lost her purse, Dean,” said Bobby.
“Why did you steal it?” shouted Monica immediately.
“What? Me? Stealing your purse?” Dean was shocked with Monica’s sharp
question. “I didn’t do it!”
“Be honest, Dean!” Monica could not hold her anger. “Where is my purse?
Give it back!”
“I didn’t take it, Monica!” Dean got angry.
“Whoa…! Whoa…!” Bobby interrupted the quarrel. “Please, stop! Okay, I
think we should search the purse now.”

Then, Bobby, Dean and all students there did the searching around the
classroom. Monica was just sitting on her chair. However, her eyes kept
looking at Dean angrily. She was pretty sure that the boy had stolen her
purse.

There was a knock on the classroom door. All students turned their eyes
toward the door. They saw a young woman with a pink dress, stood
there. The students did not recognize her, but Monica did. She was
Monica’s maid.

“Mbak Imah!” suddenly Monica stood up from her seat and ran to the
young woman. “Why are you doing here?”
“I bring your purse, Non Monica,” said Mbak Imah. “This morning, you left
it on the dining table.”
Mbak Imah gave a small brownish-orange purse to Monica. “Your mom
said that you must always check your stuff before leaving for school.”
Monica was startled to receive it. All of sudden, she lost her words.
Instantly, the sounds of jeer from some students were heard. They were
unhappy with Monica’s wrong accusation. Then Monica looked at Dean
and her friends, feeling badly guilty.

“You should make an apology to Dean, Monica,” said Bobby. “And, please,
never accuse somebody without any proofs.”
“I’m sorry, Dean,” said Monica in embarrassment.

The sun shone brightly. The birds chirped happily. Every body was busy
with their activities. So did Dinda.
That morning she went to a beautiful park near her house. A park where
she usually spend her spare time for a few months before.

After her boy friend leave her away, she became depressed and live in
sorrow. Then someone came to her life. Brought a happiness. They
became good friends although they never meet before. They
communicated by phone. They motivated each others. They have many
similarities and so on. Dinda was very happy. She could forget her
sorrow. But unpredictable thing happened. There was a small dispute
among them. They lost contact. Dinda was sad, but she promised herself
that she’ never let her down.

At the park, Dinda sat on the bench under a big tree. “hmmm it’s very
shady” she whispered.
Dinda took out something from her bag. A cute book in purple cover. She
loves purple color very much.
As usual, she wrote something in it. What’s that? only Dinda knew it.
Dreet.. dreett.. dreett.. her hand phone vibrated. She starled. She could
believe it. Someone who has gone for a long time phoned her. Her hand
trembled. She spoke nervously.
For a few minutes Dinda looked happy, she smiled many times, but it was
not long, her face looked sad any more.
She put her handphone in the bag. she sat in empty view. She did not
realize a man looked at her from another bench.

The days run quickly. That afternoon Dinda received a message from a
new number.
“Please go to the park tomorrow morning at nine, don’t ask who I am,
you will know later. Please go to there alone.”
That night Dinda could not sleep. She thought who has sent the message.
What would happen tomorrow? Went or not? Dinda became doubt.

Morning come brightly. She decided to go to the park alone. She sat on
her favorite bench. She looked around. There was no something strange.
It’s as usual.
Suddenly a boy stood in front of her.
“sista”, would you be my best friend forever?” he gave her a tulip flower.
Dinda’s favorite flower.
Dinda shocked. “pardon me?” she said.
“would you be my best friend forever?”.
Dinda speechless. She remembered someone who ever say it to her.
Someone who she loved. But he was gone. Dinda became sad. She did
not realize the boy was gone, even she did not ask his name yet.
It’s not far from Dinda’s bench, there was a man in blue shirt, but she
could see his face. He humped look for something on the ground.

Dinda looked at him for a few minutes. The man still busy looked for
something. Then Dinda came to him, she wanted to help him.
“Excuse me Sir, what are you doing here?”
“May I help you?”
The man up his head. He smiled to her.
Dinda was very shock. She looked at him without flicker. She could not
believe it. He was like someone who she knew for years before. She just
saw him from his photos. Someone who never she saw before, but she
loved him so much.
The man stood up, he took out something from his pocket. It was a ring
in purple box.
“Would you marry me and be my best friend forever?” the man said with
his sweet smile.
Dinda speechless. she could not hold her tear. She just nodded her head.
She was so happy.
Actually the man has came to Dinda’s hometown for a month ago. He
followed Dinda when she out home. He wanted give a surprise for his
beloved woman. He proved his love.

Dinda thanks to Allah who had answer her prayer. She married with
someone who she love so much.
Be patient, ask to Allah for everything.
Never lose hope. Never lose faith.
