At first I thought, I would have a really hard time making connections with someone other than those who are blood-soaked with me.. I always felt that no one could understand how to treat me other than those who lived daily with me.
I always thought that every step I would take was hard and demanded that I be what the world wanted me to be.
I always pressured myself to be what my world needs me to be. Be a cheerful person, talk a lot and always strengthen others. Even though I want to cry or my heart feels sliced. I still can't look sad..
I grew up to be who I am not. I became someone else even to myself. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and realized that my identity was just a name.
While my personality has been formed through demands.
Until you came..
I know your sincere smile, your shady gaze and everything that feels real. The way you explain things, advise through your experience, forbid with affection and let me be who I am.
No matter where this courage came from, I began to get addicted to seeing your face and hearing your voice even if it was just a few seconds.
Until I knew it, love had found my lost self.
You are only human, just like me. What you do is always magical.
I don't even know how to handle myself. But you got it..
Andreas, I want it to be morning and night for you..
The best place to tell and go home..

The next day...
Me, Hanifa and Arika have been struggling with our activities. We are busy preparing proposals for the seminar later in the afternoon. Hanifa chose to be alone in the corner of the faculty, Arika was also alone in the department lobby, while I joined with other friends in the hallway.
Nunu's state was still a burden on my mind all night. I tried to call him but none of my calls were answered. I just wanted to hear her voice, at least that way I wasn't too worried.
Not to mention the chat with brother Iyas last night, I was struck by lightning and my feelings were not because of until now.
As it was connected, shortly thereafter Brother Iyas sent a message.
"By my dear, I'm sorry for your baby. Its okay don't think too much. Hope the seminar is good!! I'll pick you up"
"Yes sister also♥" I reply.
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=
Seminar commences, too,...
One by one my friends appeared and presented their proposals. Until finally arrived when the names of Arika and Hanifa were called by the lecturer. Both of them looked nervous, but I from the very back row immediately stood up and gave my sincere smile to them.
Instantly the wrinkles on their forehead disappeared, changing the face of the sumringah that they appeared to display while looking at my eyes together.
Besides Iyas' sister, Arika Nunu and Hanifa are the best connections I have ever made with humans. The three of them were able to understand my movements in silence. Reading my thoughts and always making the silence that had been a friend as if being an opponent.
"Rain, you're still presenting" whispered Nirwan who was sitting next to me.
"Hahaha yes hopefully, pingin cepet is fine" I replied.
At the same time, my eyes caught Gian's face in the same row as mine. His hands waved slowly and forced a smile.
"Spirit!" I said.
He replied with a special smile. Gian looks tasteless, probably because there is no Nunu beside him. I understand very well, the back days must have been very difficult for him, luckily Nirwan always accompanied Gian and tried to cheer him up.
"Rain, if the seminar is over before this maghrib how about we go to Nunu's parents' house?" bring Nirwan.
"Relatedly? I'm afraid Nununya still wants to hide or still need rest and do not want to meet with us" I explained.
"Jian Masa was rejected anyway, I think Gian is the only one who can encourage Nunu besides you" he said.
Until it was not felt, my name was called by the Lecturer.
"Rainnn spirit" cried Arika and Hanifa who finished first and are now waiting for me in front of the presentation room.

After all the business on campus was done, I Arika Hanifa, Gian and Nirwan gathered in front of the lobby. We discussed plans for Nunu's house. Unfortunately this time, Gian refused on the grounds that he was not ready to see the state of Nunu. Gian was afraid that Nunu would get angry when he found out that he had already told us the truth.
"Late week just impression, wait all the adem first. You guys must be tired too, right? We never know how Nunu's response will be, so we also do not fit again tired of the impression" explained Gian.
Gian's refutation justified Hanifa, he felt that at this time all was in need of a break after hectic with seminar proposals and activities in BEM.
Until finally, we decided to go home.
I called Mr. Iyas and tried to ask him to pick me up immediately. It was unexpected that he was already in the lower parking lot.
"I'm in the parking lot, baby, a little way here, huh? or am I up?" tannya
"No, I'm the big brother" I replied.
After parting ways with the others and coming to Iyas' brother waiting in his car, I realized that today was our anniversary celebration when I saw the date on my phone screen.
"Saking busy until you forget today anniv, sorry brother" I murmured.
I ran to her car, and in the car she had prepared flowers and a gift box for me.
"Happy birthday dear, which is how many months I do not memorize but every month every 26th I always want your love interest. Now add the same gift box because you have finished the proposal seminar. Ayoo dear one step closer!" sumringah.
I greeted her greeting and hurriedly hugged her. The load that I had felt so heavy was slowly coming down and seemed to fade along with the warm touch on my back.
"Capek is princess? Want to go straight home?" tanyakanya.
"No! I want to eat well" I replied.
"Oh okay! Where's where?" ask again.
"Where is Korea?" my door.
"Well, I have an idea, you follow me!" he concluded while spurring the car.
//////////////////////////////////////
After I finished eating, Brother Iyas drove me home. Today I was so tired that I forgot to kiss her hand for a moment before parting in front of my gate.
He must be upset as is his habit. It's just that tonight maybe he cursed her.
Inside room....
I immediately took a shower and changed into a nightclothes and threw myself into the bed.
"Ah yes gift from brother Iyas I have not opened, about what is it?" I muttered as I grabbed the box at the study table.
"Mother's deceased chalong? This is a necklace that I saw perfect in Mother's jewelry box at her house at that time" I said shocked.
Inside was a light purple letter.
"For my underclassman who's almost out now"
The first time you opened this box, you must have been shocked by the necklace. Yes, it was the necklace of the late mother that was pinned to me. The necklace that Mom said I should give to my future wife later. Whether this is the right time or not, but right or not depends on the person, right? I feel that you are not only the right person but also the one who is present at the right time for me.
Raina, it'll be a long story ahead of us. Longer than the poetry stanzas you wrote when you first squirmed me in the department. Your frustration, your hatred for me and all your complaints about my personality that seem arrogant.
In the end, love does everything. I am as hard as a rock melted into a pebble because of you. I am as cold as the poles, warm beating the sun when near you.
So cowardly, asking you to be my wife only I can convey through paper. I'm afraid you're refusing... Raina, after this maybe you will get angry.. I have plans to continue my studies in Australia. Like the ideals of Father.. Before that, I really want to have a house where I come home in Indonesia. A house that can make me miss, and I hope it's you...
Tomorrow, I'll wait at our favorite cafe after I get home from work! Please don't miss!"
