DORM WITHOUT CONTAINER

CHAPTER 21: REAL STARS

I still remember the night you came to me sitting pensively alone in the schoolyard with the night breeze and the gently swaying evergreen tree stroking my heart with its peace, looking at the beautiful night sky sprinkled by stars that glisten brightly on each side of the sky.

You come and you sit smiling near me, and you look at me and look up at the sky, and then you say to me, "The sky is beautiful!, sprinkled by the star?", I smiled at your face and replied, "It's so beautiful, because it's so beautiful that I don't get tired of going out every night just to look at that beautiful star!".

"I really like to look at the stars, especially if the stars are so real in front of my eyes, so I don't have to look up to see them one by one!" he spoke with a smile looking at my face, I was so shocked that his words just now were so clear to me, I could only smile looking at him.

I did not think that he had the same hobby as me that is singing, I was immediately stunned carried away by the song he was singing.

When I saw him playing guitar and singing, his voice was so beautiful that I was so fascinated by him, his face was so very attractive and handsome and had high intelligence, deserved all the girls' wanted to fall into his arms.

Because it was so fun to hear her beautiful voice, I also unconsciously sang with her. I feel very comfortable with him, he can make me smile cheerfully in every moment of being with him.

After a long time and tired, we stopped singing together and he looked back at me and asked "Do you like singing?", then I replied with my big smile "Yes, I really, really like to sing especially if the pop song or band is relaxed, even every empty time I always fill with singing, especially if I always sing, even though my voice doesn't feel good to others I don't care, the most important thing for me is to keep singing".

She laughed at my words, she said "You are so funny yes, you deserve to be a famous singer!", I immediately blushed in embarrassment at her praise, then I said "I never dreamed of becoming a singer, because singing is my hobby not my ambition".

He smiled and looked back at the cluster of stars above the sky, and said to me, "If you were told to choose between the stars, which would you choose? alone or in a group? who shines brightly or who has no light?", then I look at all the stars, thinking which stars I want to choose, I answer the question "If I am told to choose… hmmm I prefer the stars in groups, but I want to be the brightest. If you ask why? I'll answer that I'd rather have friends than live alone, because I was afraid of solitude and I chose the brightest because I wanted to be someone that so many people liked", he was silent to look me in the face, and then I returned his gaze, after a while he said "You have nothing to fear, I'm here now, so you won't be alone anymore", again I was surprised by his words while deep in my heart "What he meant, what his words and words meant to me, did he want to say something to me or just joking!?", I was so confused and my feelings were so unbearable that my heart was pounding, my hands started to shiver by themselves, it feels so fucked up.

I didn't know what I was feeling at the time, all I knew was to look him in the face.

The look and look in his eyes were so hypnotic to me, then I was shocked because I felt a hand suddenly holding my hand, I looked down and it turned out that he was holding both of my hands and I was looking at him with a million flavors that I couldn't say back then.

After about five minutes we looked at him, and he said, "If the sun is shining on the earth, then you are like the sun shining on my heart. If the stars are so beautiful at night, then you can beat the beautiful stars. And if the moon shines on a lonely night, then you can beat the moon at night, you can beat anything in my eyes", hearing all that my face began to blush and I do not know what this taste is, and what I am feeling now, I can only be silent down, blushing in shame.

He then looked at my face, "Why didn't you respond to my words just now, do you know what my heart is about you?".

I said, "I never know what you've felt all this time for me, and I see you never even a single glance at me".

"Whether love should always follow someone we love, I think it is all unnecessary, even it can make our loved ones feel there is no comfort in seeing us!, he said!, that's why I always seem relaxed when dealing with you, you should know that this feeling is only for you you're a woman I love the first time, I love you so much, I love you so much, I'm giving up all these flavors just for you now I want to ask if you love me?".

Then he went silent and said "Yes it is no problem and no why I really understand and really appreciate what is your reason and I will not force something that may eventually end in ugliness. Stick with what you've been feeling all along!", at that moment I could only smile with relief at hearing the answer from her.

Since it was time for the evening apples and the dorms were already scattered from the evening learning class to immediately follow the evening apple activities, he said to me "Yuk we are apples, it is time. Later on see the other dorm children in think they have anything between us, the gosib will be widely circulated and may be able to make the sense of comfort is more lost in the heart because of their speech!"

I smiled at him and said, "Yes, thanks for the time tonight", we finally walked together to the place where the evening apple was held.

I'm just so worried and full of doubts about what happened tonight, which makes me so happy, even though I don't know why I'm so happy. But I am also confused why I have not been able to temporarily give an answer to the truth of this heart to him.

"Waaaaw, what a cool Des! It is not wrong if Ilham's brother became popular in all dormitories, especially the girls', if I am the elo Des, frankly can immediately faint without being able to say anymore!" Rita listened to Dessy's story as Ilham expressed the intention of her heart.

"Gue was also really nervous when Ta, how not with a thread of his words that touched his heart, looked at him as my senior and not only that, he's the chairman of our osis lo! Try to be in a position like I was then!" Obviously Dessy.

"Just cool Des, congratulations! Now elo ma kak Ilham the point is made. All girls' one dorm including upperclassmen, se class and many underclassmen who want to be in the position of being elo!" Rita said again.

"Thank you Ta, because elo can also all run smoothly, bright as bright as bright. At first I was worried in addition to the presence of Herisman, but for now my heart Alhamdulillah already steady!" Obviously Dessy.

"Thank God Des, I as a friend elo also very happy with the brother Ilham is intact in the heart of elo!" Reply Rita. "It is fortunate that Elo quickly gave a decision, a little late, my brother Ilham who took it!" Canda Rita later.

"Ahahaha...! There's-there's a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!" Dessy laughed off filled with a sense of happiness that no one could forbid her from doing that.

"But I don't know, for me to return a smile is only an obligation because a wise counsel says that pride is the shawl of God, the Most Rich and the Most All, only He deserves to be arrogant. But if even a presumptuous God remains a gentle, loving God, be loving without favoritism.

What am I, what can I be proud of right now...?".
