Dawn And Memories...

The mood this morning was unusual. This time, I spent the morning on Sunday to go jogging with Alin, my best friend, in our town square. We deliberately left the house before sunrise, so we are not exposed to motor vehicle pollution. I walked from my house complex, approached the alin and we jogged into the square.

I am a high school student of SUKANHARJO, I live in a beautiful residence, not far from school and also my best friend's house. Alin is my friend and best friend since our elementary school to high school today.

While we were resting on the edge of the square, I saw a man in black trousers and a short dark red shirt facing us and a look that seemed familiar to me. I think deep inside who that man is. In minutes I think, and. yes. He is the dawn. My elementary schoolfriend was the first and I was the first person I ever liked. Now he's changed a hundred and eighty degrees. He used to be small but not ideal with weight. But now, he has become a tall teenager with a height that fits his weight.



He seems to be staring at me intently. Hinted as if he remembered if I was his elementary friend. And now he seems to be walking toward me.
"Is this not a problem?" He asked doubtfully
"I am alin mas." Alin replied with confidence himself
I just hold back laughter to hear alin answer the question of dawn. Actually I realized that dawn was asking me, but on purpose when he came to me, I pretended to look at the vastness of the square.
"Sorry, this side of your name rara is not it? That's if I'm not mistaken. "The answer came back with a slight confusion on his face.
"Ra, this is who ra? Do you know this cool guy as cute as this? "Alin asked, whispering in my left ear.
"Elementary school first" I replied briefly and turned my face to look alin and automatically I saw the dawn too.
"Rara kan?" Asked dawn back looked at me
"Yes jar" I replied shyly
"you still remember me?"
"Remember, I'm not good forgetful. Hehehe."
"Hm .. yes yes. Now where are you school ra? Have not we ever met before? "
"I'm now in SMAN 1 SUKOHARJO, I'm still fine. You're just a busy guy, if there's a gathering together with no one to come along. "I replied with a joke that I deliberately disbursed, because I think I met him like meeting with the principal's father.
"Oh, em, we continue in hp just yes. This is my phone number "he took a piece of paper with a pen in his trouser pocket and wrote his phone number quickly and gave it to me. I suspect, that he likes the literary world, so he always carries paper and bolpion.
"Oh yes jar" I replied while receiving a paper from dawn. He sat back at the beginning where he had sat. But this time he was sitting behind me and no longer faced me.

Back in elementary school I fell in love with this man. Because I think he's cute but cool, most hilarious but clever, most upbeat and so must be generous. But he does not seem to know that I love him. Because at that time I loved him in silence.

Tonight I'll send myself an SMS for her.
To: dawn from: rara
Hey!
Two minutes later she replied to my messages
From: dawn to: rara
This is the noise?
To: dawn from: rara
Yeah jar, how did you want ngelanjutin say what?
From: dawn to: rara
Hehe, not papa kok ra, cuman want to connect friendship aja, it's been a long time we never contac.an. now you change once yes, I remember when you still like to ngejailin me.
To: dawn from: rara
That's the first time, I'm not like that anymore. Lha you anyway, if you want to ngejailin tu, suringnya endingnya you just protest and report to bu mita. Then I'll be punished and you laugh freely behind me, hahaha
We began to nostalgia at length about our absurdity in elementary school, until the night was not aware of it was late. And I ended it.

I got information from him, now he's in SMAN 2 SUKOHARJO, it's just right next to my school right, that means our school is close and we will meet often. And her home, in block D of the beautiful sanggrahan, I'm in block A, if the community apart from block A go to the highway must pass block A, so she will pass every day in front of my house.

I pulled this flowered blanket, before closing my eyes, I recalled the reply from every answer he uttered. Apparently, he is now a wise man, like a leader the nation longs for. I was lulled into my first love that came back. And it did not feel, the cold night stabbed my bones, I closed my eyes, spent the night with my long sleep.

"Cie, who yesterday abis met the cool guy, cute, handsome" joke alin at me as we walked towards school.
"What the heck, it's just cuman temen SD" I replied calm, as if my love in the dawn I did not appear in front of alin.

We started our daily activities as students of SMAN 1 SUKOHARJO, I followed the activities of OSIS and also scouting. Because I like nature and society, so these two extracurriculars are very interesting and finally I join.

I do love dawn since the first time since elementary school, but he did not know that in silence I love him. When junior high school I miscontact with him, because I was in eastern Java and he was in sukoharjo, central java. Our distance is far away, however, I never discard this feeling for him. I believe that God will find us when and how. Evidently, my thinking was wanted by God and now I meet him. In the circumstances we are equally better.
Since then, me and the dawn of chat-chattan, discussing the OSIS of our own schools, exchanging ideas, asking for opinions until nostalgia back when we were primary school.

When I graduated from high school
I get a scholarship to study abroad. Precisely in the Dutch country. A country I once dreamed I would study there. I hesitated to follow my teacher's advice or not. I thought about it for two days. I asked for my parents' opinion and they immediately agreed. Exactly one week after I received the scholarship, I left Indonesia, my beloved country with thousands of memories in it.

"You learn a serious kid, do not think about your father and mother. The important thing is when you come home you can be a useful person for your country. "Dad's message as I was about to enter the check-in room-which in 3 hours this plane would take me to the land of the windmill.
Immediately my tears could not hold me back. My eyes filled with tears and finally the water I stored in my eyelids broke as well.
"Ra, be careful there yes. Meet me tomorrow, when you have graduated from the Netherlands. I promise I will not leave you. And I promise again, we will definitely meet when we are successful someday "said the voice of a man from behind me standing, I recognized the voice, and sure enough, it was the sound of dawn.
My tears are getting worse. I cried profusely. However, I just nodded, a sign that I received the promises he was saying.
"Sorry mbak, immediately enter the check-in room, thirty minutes away the plane will leave soon." Said the officer as he approached me.
I wiped my tears, and I carried my suitcases into the check-in room. Now I am going away from my father, mother, alin, and also dawn.

5 years later
I arrived in Indonesia, airport adi sudcipto to be exact. Soon I was looking for a taxi to my house. I met my mother's father, it seems that their faces now look older than before I left for the Netherlands.
After a week, I visited my friend's house first. Alin. Kugayuh onthelku bicycle to his house, I found him was watering flowers in his yard.

"Alin" I yelled from the front of his house
"Eh, rara, yeah ra, i really miss you, what's your condition now? more skinny aja. "He answered by hugging me tightly. As if we had never met 10 years
"I'm good, you're in love with me. I'm so jaded, "I said
After I talked to him for a long time, I decided to take Alin to the dawn house, I had not communicated with him for so long.

This time, I chose to walk with Alin to the dawn house. Given the first time I used to walk when in the Netherlands. Kuhirup fresh air Indonesia, after so many years I did not find in the Netherlands.
"Tok tok" I knocked at the door of the dawn house
"Yeah mbak, let's go in"
The offer from his mother's dawn this time I received, and now I talked at length with him.
"In fact, there was a tragedy in our family, it happened two years ago, when we all came home from silaturrahim, we passed a steep road in the mountains wonogiri, suddenly our car brake blong. And we had an accident. The only survivors are me and my husband. The dawn has returned to face the divine "explained the mother of dawn with tears in her eyes
My heart instantly crumbles, as if all my soul is floating, the hope that I will wake up with her seems to collapse helplessly. I can not hold back tears. I cried in front of her mother dawn. Slowly explain all his promises to me. And al the outcome, now he's in his grave. Leaving me with all the sweet words she used to say. Now he slept forever and will not come back.

Mother of dawn drove me to her beloved child's tomb. There it is written the name of Mohammad dawn akbar bin sriyadi clearly. Back shed my tears. This time, I can not think, why god separates me from him so fast. However, fate has the will. Let the god manage my whole life. I just lamented his departure and sent prayers through al-Fatihah that every day I read in prayer.....
