Dear Captains
1. Still with the Same Sky
...The sky of August 17 broke the silence and solemnity of raising the flag of Sang Saka Merah Putih. I stared at him, watching him set his foot as the corner of the line. I could not feel the tears wetting my cheeks. I am his best friend who always supports him. I'm just his best friend who's proud to see him there. Seeing it in the ranks of the elected paskibraka raising the Heritage Flag in the Presidential Palace....
..."Sil, I was chosen to represent our region to go to Jakarta." Fill out the short message at that time....
..."Congrats... Congrats... Congrats."...
...I could only write those words to express my happiness. Because I don't know what to say except 'Congratulations'....
..."I'll leave next week. I'll be quarantined for 3 months without any means of communication."...
..."Nice dong. Opportunity will not come twice. What else do you think try?!"...
..."He doesn't want me to go to Jakarta."...
..."Wh who? Your boyfriend! Duh... Gilak aja, why also you waver because of him. Departing already. Well, what a crazy darling."...
..."Depart! So I'm leaving, Sil. I have to go. yeah."...
..."Yes, you must go Andika Mighty. Just left already. Don't mind him. You there will meet beautiful girls who are charming you know, even more than him." Candaku....
..."Well, that's what my boyfriend fears."...
..."Hahaha" My laughter exploded in anxiety....
..."You are yes... Seriously nih."...
..."Da... Ja. Be stuck. The future is in your hands. The soul is in God's hands, Dika. Sure enough, God loves you the best."...
..."Ready. I've come this far, so I can't just stop. Thanks yeah. I'll miss you." She hugged me tightly feeling reluctant to let go of her embrace of me. That day, the last day Andika and I met....
...My phone's ringing but this number I don't know. I was still carried away by the atmosphere that enveloped my mind....
..."Hola... Who'sis this?" I was reluctant to continue because this phone number was foreign to me....
..."Sil, it's me." This voice is no stranger to me, but I'm not sure it's Andika. He's still at the State Palace....
..."Who?"...
..."Hmm... That's yeah. It's only three months we haven't seen each other, you've forgotten my voice." His grunts sounded from a distance....
..."Andika." I'm like I can't believe."Is this andika?" Steady again....
..."Ja. It's me, Andika. The old number is not active, I forgot the time to leave the house I did not ask for a pulse. So scorched. Uh... Why talk about this. How are you, sil?"...
..."I'm good, I'm good news."...
...I didn't feel like my tears were just flowing, but I tried to hold it....
..."You cry? Why cry, Sil!"...
..."You're a bitch, you're cool. I cry because you're cool." My crying broke until I almost sobbed....
..."Haha. You're the one who sucks, cook look at me cool even cry."...
..."Ah. stupid ah. Anyway, I'm proud of you. You're really cool. Even though you look dark." My god....
..."Obviously, I'm an item. Every day I get sunburnt tau."...
..."Uh, Dika. How did you call me. Why didn't you call your parents?"...
..."They're here, Sil. Why did I call my parents. Haha."...
..."Oh. Aye yes. Hehe. Keep calling your girlfriend. He'll be waiting for you "...
..."Ah, what the hell is talking about him. Very lazy. I miss you, why did he try. I even talked to him. Forget it, you fucked up. Oiya, Sil. What's the PTN entrance test? Escape!"...
..."Congratulations yes... I'm your college kid. When do you go to college?"...
..."Thanks for the congratulations, don't forget to bring a big gift." My canda to Andika....
..."Ready. Don't bring a gift as big as I will. When do you start college?"...
..."I'm coming in just next month anyway."...
..."Yep... I'll never see you."...
..."On the weekend I go home. If not once a month."...
..."Eemmmm. You will be busy in college. Uh, yes, it was. Then connect again. I want a visit, Sil. Yea."...
...Tut's... Tut's... Tut's... The phone disconnected from a distance. I can smile and still feel good. Him, Andika. My best friend finally achieved a dream she never thought of....
..."My work was very busy after the ceremony. I became a Tourism Ambassador. I became an advertising model. I'm a busy man now." The contents of the short message he sent to me and I could only smile happily reading it....
..."You are busy in college, right? Surely you are starting OSEK. YES'S SPIRIT."...
...He always sent me a short message. I don't know why the short message from him excited me. Just words like that....
..."Tomorrow I'll take away home. When are you coming home? Meet yuk. I've missed playing basketball with you."...
...We played basketball together often. We can connect like this because our hobby is the same, which is playing basketball. Starting from there we often communicate and also work together in OSIS activities at school. He's a spoiled, childish boy. Maybe because I was older than him, so he often exchanged stories and opinions with me....
..."I'm going to your house now!"...
...I was aghast from the bed. I still don't want to get out of my soft bed, but she's gone. I rushed to the bathroom. I don't want to get into his tirade. Pas, the right time. He came and I finished the shower. Safe from scolding....
..."Excuse me." Shouts at the door....
..."Yeah, don't scream. I'm denger woy." When I open the door....
..."Sil..." He hugged me tightly....
..."Dica... Dica... Release he.. freelance."...
..."Sorry khilaf. I miss out on being with you. Incoming yes..." He immediately entered without hesitation. "Where's Om and Auntie?"...
..."Nothing, not yet home. They went to Grandma's house."...
..."Nought... Make you." Pouring paperbags at me....
..."What's the?" Because I was so curious, I opened it. "Gee... This jacket." My eyes glazed....
..."That's the jacket you want. Gift for you also because you have successfully entered the PTN you want."...
..."Thanks though. This is real, brother?" While I put the jacket on my tiny body....
..."The hello... I have a lot of money now. Why not buy KW."...
..."Swaggering.... Snippy. Believe me, there is a lot of money" I murmured. "But... Thanks yeah.kadonya."...
..."Huh... Thanks doang. Kiss dong." Poking his cheek....
..."Don't hit it, wanna fuck with me." I lifted the paper bag in front of me....
..."Golly, Sil. You haven't changed... Nyebelin' tadp." While shuffling my hair....
..."Foolish very, obviously thanks ole-olenya." I smiled and looked at him. Andika turned around smiling sweetly and looked at me as well. Andika is still the same as Andika that I knew before, nothing has changed....
