7 Days With Althara

Milky way

Sunday changed to the moon, and not felt today was the graduation day for the Althara force.

“Selamet ya finally you pass” said I was sad. Imagine how I would be in school without her supervision.

Althara asked me to sit next to the field. Among the students who passed by passed us, and his merry in the middle of the field with students who were celebrating their graduation.

“Kok sad?” Her question made me even more sad.

“I have nothing else to take care of later in school”

Althara sighed.

“But I always pick you up until you graduate school, and I'm sure no one will dare to bother you again, because everyone at school already knows, Alhena belongs to Althara”

I'm shaking my shoulder. His words don't make my mood good.

“How is your exam selection?” My question is considering that he is taking a test to get into his favorite university which I do not know what campus it is.

“I ga so follow test nya”

“Why?”

“I don't want to register there yet, and yesterday I signed up to Trisakti Jakarata University majoring in Visual” Communication Design

“Emang University you want is where?” My toot.

“Kalo I said the place is far away, you want me to stay?” Her question made my lips pursed.

“So far away is it ? Don't dong Al, I don't want” sad me with spoiled.

She smiled at my cute behavior and gently rubbed my hair.

“Yes, where can I stay. You I just graduated from school like this, especially if I live abroad she said.

From Althara's gaze there is something strange, I think there is something in his mind but I don't know what it is.

“Later in the afternoon I want to peak with my friends, you come with ya”

“Yes, I'm afraid I can't be with Papa” considering Papa who still always curbs me to not carelessly go out of the house let alone until late at night.

“Nothing I brought the car later”

“Don't Al, I'm not good with your friends. Others bring your time motor with you mobil”

“Ya already you do not think, later I myself asked permission to Mama Papa you to follow ya”

At night Althara actually came home to pick me up.

I doubt if Papa will allow me to go to the top that night. But I waited for Althara and Papa to have a chat while I prepared for the room. I went down to Althara and Papa.

“Where ?” I asked Althara half in a whisper.

Althara shook her head in disappointment. I glanced at Papa who was sitting seriously staring at me and Althara. I breathed and was upset.

“Why baby?” Ask Mom as she sits next to Papa.

“Papa ga ngizinin I went to the top of Ma” said I delicately looked at Papa.

“Whom said?” Papa.

“Papa has told Althara if you can go kok” Papa said to confuse me.

“Iya” replied Althara while laughing.

“indeed I said you're not in permission?” Tymphal Althara. They bullied me, and they managed to piss me off.

“Iihh, Sebel deh” said me while pinching his waist.

“Aw aw yes pardon pain. You're just ‘how?’ I don't know it ‘gimana’ which” said his quibble.

“Ya already there go, will hunt malem. Jagain Alhena ya Althara” said Mama drove us away subtly.

“Good Ma,we go first ya”

We both kissed the back of Mama's and Papa's hands and left on Althara's bike.

The journey from bandung to the top is so fun even though it is so far away it has to travel a distance of 3 hours 30 minutes. But I don't mind if I have to go with Althara.

Me, Althara and all of her classmates went on a motorcycle to Puncak to our destination to hold a private farewell class.

And until we were in a Caffe that was right at the top of the side of the cliff but safe. This place is so beautiful, really. The sky was so wide it felt so close to my head, and the sprinkling of stars that lit up our night added to the beautiful sky at the top of the night. The atmosphere in Caffe is exactly like the name of Caffe listed on the carving of a large board on the Roof Caffe “Milky Way” which means Stars scattered in Space.

“Log in” invite Althara to hold my hand.

He dragged me inside Caffe, but it turned out that Caffe had an open space so I could still enjoy the beautiful night sky. And so surprised me when I saw the beauty of City Light is no less beautiful in front of me.

I was stunned to see the beauty of the city lights that were so clearly visible twinkling so widely as far as the eye could see.

“Althara, so cool” said I was stuck motionless.

“You like?” Ask her.

“I love so much Al” I hug her happy.

He led me to sit on one of the seats on the edge of the ravine that had been in the morning of the barrier for the safety of visitors of course. I sat alone with him there, my eyes could not be separated from the beauty of this nature.

“The place is really cool anyway Al” he just smiled let me continue to enjoy the scenery in front of me.

“You pesen what Al” cried Edo.

“Coffe Late aja, what do you want?” Ask me.

“Samain aja” said me while continuing to look straight ahead.

His other friends were preparing the burning to burn the corn themselves. Some were playing guitar and others were eating separately, while Althara chose to accompany me to enjoy the beauty of the night.

We both have eaten corn and other snacks, now I just stay to enjoy the beauty of the night sky until the star covered with clouds.

“Honey its stars start in cloud cover” said I looked at the night sky.

Althara's gaze could not be separated from the view of City Light in front of him.

I'm taking a look at the view of City Light in front of us.

“Alhena Reva Amara” said with a gaze that is still straight ahead.

I looked at him.

“You know what your name means?” Her question still did not look at me.

“Light shining star ring” I say proudly.

Althara nodded her head while continuing to daydream.

“And you know my full name what?” She asked, I recall that I had known Althara's full name for a few months, because I had never called her as completely as she had called me. But I tried to remember it again maybe I had checked the ID card or student mark and it turns out I never knew.

I shook my head while showing her my teeth.

“Althara Tarendra Orion” I remembered something when she mentioned her full name. Like I understand that name.

“Star Prince The Hunter?” I said after thinking hard. And I was surprised when I realized that his name had the same name as mine.

“From the first time I saw you when MOS I was interested in a new student named Alhena Reva Amara. The name is always mentioned in every student who has problems in the middle of the field. You often make MOS time until your name is often called in the middle of the field to be given a punishment”

I remember the time of the MOS when I often misfortune to follow the activity in the morning blind, even I often do not obey the mentor to carry the task that I was lazy to look for him.

“But I never even saw you?” my spoken.

He looked at me with a smile.

“I'm the head of OSIS Alhena, but maybe you haven't seen me during MOS. That's because you never care about anyone and whatever their status in school. You just focus on yourself, and you don't care about the people around you”

“Emang yes?” Me laughing.

“Iyaa, I often see you in the law but you have never volunteered or embarrassed, you are too brave”

“Iya I am brave, but since there is you I so hang my courage with you”

Althara looked glued to hear that.

“Alhena” call him with sayu.

“Something when I will definitely go rich gini, I can not take care of you in school, you must be able to restore your confidence and your courage, you, because I can't as long as I keep you”

“Iya Althara, at school I can definitely take care of myself”

“Not only in Al school, outside also you should be able to take care of yourself”

“Why?” I'm getting more astonished.

“I want you to be able to take care of yourself as long as I'm not next to you”

“I gamau you away from me Althara” said I stroked her cheeks gently with a smile.

I didn't understand about this conversation, but Althara too frightened me by her words as if she was going far away.

He smiled and hugged me.

“I have something for you” he said while releasing his embrace.

He reached into something in his bag, and showed me a long necklace made of black straps and with a silver star hanger that was only half in front of me.

“Good Al” said I took over the necklace from his hands.

“Which other half of the stars are?” Ask me.

Althara took something out from inside her shirt. And it turns out that the necklace was already in her use.

“Keren really Al, you deliberately buy this for us?”

“I bought this actually long ago Al, already more than 1 year ago when I took a vacation to Bali with my parents”

“Keep why this necklace you still keep?” Ask me wonder.

“Because I haven't found the right person I can trust to wear this necklace”

I nodded my head, then I remembered a woman.

“Your first love?” Ask me to remember Tania wasn't Althara's first love.

Althara smiled at my words.

“You heard my story?”

I nodded my head.

He then confirmed his sitting position to start the story while staring at me.

“I used to have the same feeling as a woman, and all that time I felt comfortable being next to her. I once expressed my feelings but she rejected her”

I'm more and more convinced that what Ghea told me is true about Tania who was Althara's first love.

“After a few years of our friendship, me and him overwritten such a big problem, I felt disappointed in him. I feel betrayed by him and my friend . But I realized that the disappointment I had was only limited to being disappointed because I had been lied to not because I had been betrayed. Because I think if I really loved her I would have defended the woman when I found out she was with the others, but this I let her and ended up not caring about them. I realized that the feeling I had was nothing more than loving a friend”

I kept listening to her heart.

“And I just felt like falling in love this deep just like you Al, I was afraid of losing you, I was afraid you left and left me ,from then on I couldn't fend off the feelings I had to you”

“Don't” ogre me.

“Never fend off your feelings like that again”.

“But you once asked me to go”, she said considering the incident that had made me regret half to death.

“I'm sorry” said I really mean it.

“I also felt like I lost you back then Althara. I feel empty and sad seeing you don't care about me. I'm really happy when I know all that. Me...”

Althara pulled my face and brought her face closer to me looking at me in silence and kissed my lips gently.
