[TAMAT] 3 Time 1 Flavor

Is Something Important Destroyed?

Maya opened the brown photo album, found a lot of photos of her activities with friends in Kindergarten. He tried to remember the names of his Kindergarten friends based on the faces he saw in the photo. Only Hardi's face was small he found there, not Herryl's.

Bu Rini, who saw her daughter so engaged in the brown album, sat next to Maya, looking at a photo that seemed to attract Maya's attention.

"Why, Nduk?" ask Miss Rini.

"This, Ma. Names of friends TK. You remember, no, who are they?" answer Maya who ends the question. Glide over the names Maya remembers at a glance. Where's Herryl's name? Maya ingrained. Was Herryl a prankster? But in his eyes it looks ... The eyes ...

Maya's face flushed red, embarrassed to remember Herryl's gaze on her. During this time he was aware of Herryl's feelings for him, but he also understood the position of himself and his family compared to the Ardhiwijaya family. For him, they both had different worlds and it would be very difficult to unify those differences. Herryl who is famous, a lot of fans, smart, and of course from among the people are, very incomparable to him who comes from a simple family. Maya believes that all she received was a look of pity from Herryl's friendship circle. He does not want to be pitied so he tries to do his best in achieving his goals. Maya believes, with the knowledge possessed and the ideals achieved will lift the degree of both parents.

"Ma, does Maya have a friend whose name is Herryl in Kindergarten?" ask Maya later.

"Well, Mama is not there, Nduk. But then we ask Father. When you Playgroup until SD class 3, you always pick you up" replied Ms. Rini. When Maya was a child, he was still working as a security guard at Pak Wimono's house so that his working hours used shifts. With such conditions, you have the opportunity to take her daughter every day.

"Assalamu'alaikum" greetings from the recently returned Father. Both of his family members answered his greetings. "Lho, tumben dismantled the photo album, Nduk," continued Mr. asked Maya's activities.

"This, Sir. Find a photo of a friend in Kindergarten" replied Maya.

"Have you met?" ask the father while approaching his daughter. Maya looks at me. I then took the album, opening from the beginning.

"Oh, it's your playgroup time. There's Sinta, Indah, Yuni, Adi same Eyil who said you like nolongin you, this is what you said naughty, Darrel, Brian, Andri. This is you, Kiran, the same Asri," detailed Mr. while pointing one by one in the joint photo.

"Anything with Eyil?" ask Maya to make sure.

...***...

"We have to take turns looking after you" Hardi told the story.

"We?" ask Maya.

"You want, right, there's another one." said Hardi who was cut by Maya's arm.

"You even said you wanted to marry him when he grew up to be protected continuously" continued Hardi.

...***...

"Yes, you even told me that your father made the same agreement with Eyil for marriage when he grew up. Hahahaha, kids," you remember Maya and her friends' childhood.

"Yes, sir, Mama also remembers Maya the spirit of the story if helped Adi and Eyil," said Bu Rini chimed in.

Hearing that, Maya's eyes rounded. Check back the photo you are referring to. I saw a picture of a little boy I called Eyil.

"This is Eyil, sir?" ask Maya lirih.

"Yes" replied the father.

Eyel. Herryls. So he ... Maya held back her tears that were about to come out. His heart warms at once. Warm because Herryl still kept their promise, because all this time he did not know the truth.

"Father bathe first," said the father was so aware of the look on his daughter's face clouded. He needed some time to himself, the middle-aged man thought.

Maya rushes to the room with a photo album that she had been holding. Inching into the mattress and shed tears that he had been holding back.

...***...

Herryl packs clothes and other necessities. When he touched the picture frame on his study table, he smiled in a knot. Photos of the two of them at Maya's graduation.

"May ...."

He took the frame and put it in a 22-inch black suitcase. After packing, he went to bed. He closed his eyes so he could get enough rest. Tomorrow he will say goodbye to friends and sister guidance in coral cadets.

The clock was already showing midnight time but Herryl was just rolling on the bed. He was unable to sleep because he still imagined Maya's crying face. He took the phone over the nightstand and he checked the conversation app. The High School Group has been crowded by greetings to friends who will continue their education outside Jakarta, including himself.

"I can't sleep, May," wrote Herryl on the screen of his conversation with Maya which he later deleted again. He put his cell phone on the nightstand and then tried to sleep with the help of a book he started to like: Sherlock Holmes.

...***...

Maya finally falls asleep after getting tired of crying and calls Riana. When in Paris before dusk, Maya called accompanied by sobs.

"Herryl wants to study in England, Ri," Maya said at the beginning of their conversation. Riana knows Maya's true feelings even though she has been covering up with a cold attitude towards Herryl.

"When you leave?"

"Saturday, said. Suddenly very telling," answered Maya before she finally explained her quarrel with Herryl and the reality she found tonight.

"May, you're an adult. Herryl told you, didn't he want you to be sad? Appreciate his good intentions. He was also too patient with you all along. Now it's your turn, May, be patient for him. I can, yes," Riana advised again. Maya just silence then greet with Riana before finally disconnecting the phone.

It feels good to have told a problem to a friend. The perceived burden was slightly lifted, as Maya felt. He tried to sleep with the blue-covered book "Memoar of Sherlock Holmes.

...***...

Herryl came to Maya's house that night before going to the cadets' reef. After all, both of Maya's parents were good people who had accepted her all along. He should say goodbye to both of these people.

"So, tomorrow will you leave?" ask the Father after Herryl conveyed his intention of saying goodbye. Herryl nodded.

"Maya doesn't want to go out, sir," said Ms. Rini as she sat next to Mr.

"It's okay, Ma. Biarin, from yesterday diem aja heya," said the Father while looking at Herryl who lowered his head. Right, they've got a problem.

"I'll say goodbye, Mom, sir. Want to say goodbye to friends coral cadets," said Herryl later.

"Be careful in the land of people, yes, son. Take care of yourself," the message of Mr and Mrs Rini among his various advice answered nod by Herryl. He kissed the hands of both men.

Herryl then said goodbye to his peerless coral friends. At about 9am Herryl was home. Although the departure is tomorrow at 9 pm, he still has to check the completeness of the files and other luggage.

Meanwhile, at Maya's house, Maya busies herself with college assignments. Soon is the Semester Final Examination so all assignments must be collected over the next two weeks.

"Sir, Herryl was saying goodbye," said Ms. Rini. Maya temporarily halted her duties before continuing like nothing.
