A Poem To Dila
You're in High School
My name is Deni Ardiansyah Arafah, male, Pisces and 16-year-old who just entered high school. And true as people say, High School is the most beautiful time where we feel the coolest, most interesting and most fiery. And that's also what I felt, first entering High School I felt different when I was sitting in Junior High, everything looked new, the school was spacious, and I felt different, teachers who are various diverse and also different uniforms, even though I still use my Junior High School uniform because I have to follow the school orientation. It just so happened that my Junior High friend and close friend were there and we also happened to be classmates, just call my friend this one by the name of Star, but not the Star in the sky, except the name of the person.
Early in High School not many people I know maybe one of the friends I knew at that time was Fauzan or commonly called Ian, I know him because he happened to sit in front of my seat, because I saw him as alone and just read a book I greeted him.
“Oi!” Sapaku while standing in front of him.
“Iya?” He said while looking at me.
“Lu alone? Why not your Junior High friends? Or do you have no friends?”
“They are different classes of the same cave, and the cave itself in this class while the cave Junior High schools in another class.”
“Oh yes, you have a name?”
“Ya has it, his name is also human must have a name yes time cave does not have a name, what kind of man does not have a name. Cave name Fauzan call Ian, your name?”
I thrust my right hand towards the boy. “Cua Deni.”
Before long the doorbell rang and all new students entered their respective classes and before long the older brother of the coach entered the classroom to guide the new students to start their first activities in High School.
“Good morning all.” Said Pembina's sister who had just come along with her two friends.
“Pagi.” Say us a room.
“Okay friends before starting today's activities it would be nice to get acquainted first, because as the saying goes unknown then tak?” Said the elder sister inviting us to continue with her words.
And we answered the words of the brother-in-law together. “Sayang.”
The Big Brother shook his head with a smile. “Wrong. How do we love when we don't know. So the truth is not know then no, know.”
It is true that the words of the older sister builder just now, all the people who love each other must know each other, each other, and people who don't know each other then will never know each other and that will also be the core of my story.
The brother of the coach told us to introduce ourselves. “Now introduce yourself to each of you? Let us know and later you can love each other too.”
“Start from brother first dong!” I replied to the words of the older sister of the builder who happened to me had not known the older brother of the Builder.
The sister of the builder smiled and started introducing herself.“Okay well, earlier introduce the name of brother, Sulaeman class 12 IPA 1, and on the left I brother Arin class 12 IPA 2, and on the right I sister Eva class 11 IPA 1.”
“Now it's your turn, try from the guy who asked Brother Eman, where's the guy?” Said brother Arin looking for me.
“I'm his brother.” Raising my hand.
“You go ahead and introduce yourself.”
I stood up and walked forward to introduce myself. “My name is Deni Ardiansyah Arafah, My hobby is still in search and my ideals want to see the Falling Star.”
Brother Arin who felt strange with my ideals also confirmed my words. “Why do you want to see the Falling Star?”
“Soalya I sprained the face of the Star.” He pointed towards the star which was my companion.
Arin's sister who began to be confused told Bintang to introduce herself. “Try introducing yourself first, who are you?”
“My name is Muhammad Bintang Respati kak, and my ideals to thwart the ideals of Deni kak.”
“Eh you should be a supportive friend, to be able to realize the ideals of the cave?” I said, chiming in on the words of the Star.
“Yes is also ege.”
Brother Arin also tried to break up my debate with the Star. “You guys don't make a fuss.”
Brother Arin who had realized with the intention of my words at the beginning, finally understood that what I meant to see the shooting star was to want to see the shooting Star.
“Oh you mean, you want to see him fall?”
“Well, you know, because his face is menggeselin, times want to feel like drowning him in the Atlantic ocean to be eaten by whales.”
Brother Arin also muttered. “Tapen the whale likes to eat plankton.”
“But for Star exclusion kak.”
Arin's sister walked up to me. “Ngak so also dong, in addition to wanting to see the shooting star you have aspirations what else?”
“I want to make machine time kak.”
“What does time machine do?”
“Because I want to see dinosaurs.”
“What's wrong, your more logical and reasonable ideals?”
I just laughed when I heard Arin's words. “That's the most logical kak.”
“Ya hope you can make a time machine.”
After the completion of the introductory session, my class was invited out by my sister to continue the next activities held in the school hall.
He walked by himself while slightly lowering his head and going towards the hall, I who was silent saw him until I did not blink for fear of missing something so beautiful just like that.
Just as he passed me I, who reflexively spoke the name of Adinda to the woman, fell silent and froze.
“Adinda.”
The woman immediately looked at me and immediately gave a warm and beautiful smile, and her smile was indeed very beautiful even more beautiful than the twilight that was in my entire world at the moment, to this day, I remember her smile very clearly.
When I first saw you. I thought you'd only be part of a short meeting. And it turns out, until now you are still an important role in my life.
.~ ~ ~.
In my deepest heart I wonder who that woman is, why it is so beautiful, why it is so full and why it is so enchanting. I don't know for sure I want to know who he is.
Ian who saw me trapped in my daydream immediately hit me on the shoulder. “Lu said bengong in the middle of the road, there will be a nyambet we are also bothered.”
“Cave just look at that really pretty girl.”
“Yes, her name is also pretty. Samperin him if you want to know about him.”
“Still too fast for the cave to directly approach it, mending we enter the hall later late.”
“You sure you don't want acquaintance?”
“Gua sure be a moment again cave will meet again with him.”
“Yes yes, you one school. kocak.” Said Ian while hitting my shoulder and walking back towards the hall.
Arriving at my hall, Ian and the Star sat three in front, I saw the face of the woman who had passed me even from a distance and I also saw two friends who were beside her. Two of the friends next to him were my friends. They are Windi and Desi, they are my Junior High friends one of them is Desi he was the closest to me when I was first grade Junior High. It just so happens that this orientation I am in a class with him.
After finishing the event in the hall, we were told to take a break but in each other's classes, my friends and I went to class. Before I got to my seat I approached Desi who happened to be sitting at the front desk. “Morning Desi!”
“Iya what?” He replied in a jutek tone like he did not accept my presence.
“Regularly dong later cepet old.”
“Yes, cave repeat again, Deni what do you want here? Tumben nyapa Desi, usually also directly through aja.” He said while repeating his words.
“That's dong, it looks good if it's.”
“Petan want what? Cave no time to take care of people kayak lu.”
“Iya yes, but this cave is not offered sit first nih?”
“Ngak, already standing aja.”
I immediately looked into Desi's brown eyes while approaching her. “Yes already to the point, was the girl who sat in your deck hall?”
“Jeez Deni, you don't know? It's Windi.”
With the face of the sprain I immediately touched Desi's forehead. “If Windi mah gua knows, but this next door?”
“Aduh, Pain tau.” Holding her forehead and straight out picking me up.
I tried to let go of Desi's hand that was dragging me. “Iya yes sorry, peelin first tar cave ears dislodged danger.”
Desi took her hand off my ear. “Lu here want to make a noise, or want to make a storm?”
“Iya-iya sorry, yes have you asked once again, who is the girl who was with you two when in the hall?” My words that immediately returned looked into Desi's eyes sharply.
“Oh si—”
I closed his lips using my index finger, so that he would not continue his words. “Sutt, you don't need to tell me what his name is, let the cave only know what his name is!”
“Terus you want to do nanyain cave? If you don't want to know his name.” Desi said while trying to get my index finger off her lips.
“Iya also yes, but she's your friend?”
“Iya... He is a friend of the cave in SD, and after his Junior High he moved to Tangerang with his family, he continued his school there and now he is back here to continue his school here.”
Strange desi with my sikaf who asked about girls was a little curious. “don't-don't you macem-macem same her?”
“lu do not need to know enough caves and God knows.”
I walked out of Desi's seat and pegi to my seat while waiting for the bell to ring, and after the bell rang Brother Eman and brother Arin entered and immediately gave an announcement while ending activities on this day.
On the way to the house I always think about that woman somehow her smile can not I forget the slightest bit of my head, I don't know for sure I want to know her as soon as possible.
At least once in a lifetime. We will meet someone who makes us, so grateful to know him. Someone who teaches us a lot. About laughing, celebrating happiness, to crying over a wound. Yet... He we will never have. He only briefly accompanied. then left.
