The Eternal Togetherness

The next day, the atmosphere in the boarding house of Alifa was filled with low boisterous laughter and stories that were surging like waves. They are a cluster of stars shining in the night sky, bound by an unshakable thread of togetherness.

After the incident last night, Alifa and her boarding friends gather in the guest room to discuss what happened. They sat around the table smiling and laughing reminiscing about the moment they had just passed.

Alifa, who was still reminded of how Mother Ovi was so moved, said, "We were indeed ridiculous last night, but look at Mother Ovi's reaction! He was very happy and moved. All our efforts paid off with a sense of kinship interwoven here."

Meli added, "Yes, that's right. It was great to see Mom Ovi's smile and happy tears. We may be reprimanded by hansip, but it doesn't matter compared to the happiness we give her."

"Moments like this bring us closer and closer together as friends. We are not just friends, but we also care and support each other" Asih said with a smile.

Then, Alifa's sister Humaira, who slept in a room with Alifa, slipped in, "It also reminds us to be more careful in public places, especially when giving such surprises. Maybe we can find another way to surprise you in the future."

They all agreed with Humaira and promised to be more careful in the future. Although they had a slight incident with a hansip, the experience brought them closer as a boarding family.

A few days later, after the atmosphere returned to normal, Mother Ovi gathered them in the living room. He said warmly, "Thank you for the birthday surprise you gave me. Although there was a bit of silliness and reprimand from the hansip, it was one of the most memorable moments in mom's life. I'm so lucky to have you all as family in this boarding house. You guys are amazing kids."

Hearing the words of Mother Ovi, the hearts of Alifa and her boarding friends were filled with happiness and warmth. They feel that every moment and effort they put in really means and makes a difference in Mom Ovi's life.

In that warm togetherness, they promise to continue to maintain the family that has been established and through all the difficulties and joys together. The ridiculous incident with hansip only became a humorous memory among their many fond memories as a compact boarding family.

Among them, Alifa was a figure that carried a light of warmth, a glimmer of the sun in the darkness. He invited his friends to sail the sea of friendship, wading the journey with a smile on the face and joy in the heart.

Asih, a music lover, he is like a stringed instrument that touches the souls of all of them. Each note played, bringing them into a loving stream of harmony, fused into a never-fading rhythm of friendship.

Nania with her soft heart and wisdom, like a lamp lighting their way when lost. In the light touch of his hand, all their doubts and worries slowly dissipated, replaced by the belief that they had each other.

Humaira was the pillar of strength in this group. It is like an unshakable fortress. Like a towering mountain, he provided unconditional protection and support for his friends. They felt safe in his arms, protected from the storms of the outside world.

Sari, with the meaning of its name in Sanskrit meaning "fine", describes a soft and delicate nature like silk. Sari has an attitude full of gentleness and subtlety in her interactions with others. He can be calm, gentle, and sensitive to the feelings of others. Sari also has a softness in speech and action, and is able to show understanding and empathy to those around her. Sari can be a standout figure with an elegant and classy style.

Ovi's mother, a gentle and loving boarding mother. It is like the sun shining on their days. In their warm radiance, they feel overwhelmed by the warmth of a family, with each attitude and his words sending deep love.

Terkhir, Meli. He was a person with sharp words like hot peppers, but full of hidden truth. He is not afraid to express his opinion, although sometimes offensive. However, behind the spiciness, there was honesty emanating from his heart.

Like a thorny rose, Meli has sharp and painful sides. Yet, at the same time, the beauty of rose petals and their alluring fragrance can leave people mesmerized. Similarly, Meli, her wisdom and intelligent thinking are able to attract the attention of those around her, although her attitude is sometimes stinging.

Meli's courage in expressing her opinion gave color and strength to the group. Although his speech was sometimes scathing, he had a deep understanding of the truth and was not afraid to face it. His sharp speech, like a slicing sword, could motivate people to rethink their views and look at different points of view.

Meli, with all its uniqueness and beauty, has become an interesting figure in the group. Despite the thorns and spicyness in his words, he still exuded a charm that was hard to ignore. As time went on, people began to see the beauty behind his spiciness and appreciate his honesty and discernment.

In this friendship, Meli becomes an irreplaceable part. It gives them a different perspective, forcing them to look at things that are sometimes forgotten. With his sometimes thorny honesty, he helps keep the kinship relationship at this boarding house strong and on the right track.

Similarly, the rose, which despite having thorns, is still a beauty that adorns the garden. Meli, with all its advantages and disadvantages, is a figure that makes the atmosphere of costan more colorful and meaningful.

Like birds flying in the sky, they share joy and sorrow, building lasting memories. In their journey as boarding children, they strengthen and help each other, affirming that they are not only friends, but brothers chosen by the heart.

At the cost, togetherness is the main weapon against loneliness. They walked together across the passage of life, fighting the waves of difficulty with combined strength. And in every silliness and joke, they find life beautiful and meaningful.

On campus, Alifa was an avid and never absent while visiting the library. To him, the smell of books in the library was something that captivated and hooked him. He felt a deep sense of satisfaction immersed in the world of knowledge that lay between the pages of the book.

For Alifa, reading books was an important part of her life. He felt that a day without reading a book, there was something lacking in his life. Books became an invaluable source of inspiration, knowledge, and understanding for Alifa. Every time he opens a page, he enters a new adventure, expands his horizons, and gains a new experience.

In the library, Alifa felt like she was in heaven for literature lovers. He enjoys a quiet solitude, where he can be fully immersed in the stories and knowledge presented. Each book he reads takes him to a different world, taking him on a journey through the imagination and ideas of writers.

On the way to the library, Alifa can also find different books and explore various topics that interest her. He can explore various genres, ranging from fiction, non-fiction, novels, history, to science. Every time he found a new book, he felt like he had found a priceless treasure.

As Alifa read, she felt connected to her author and fellow readers around the world. He can gain new insights, deepen his understanding, and sharpen his mind. For Alifa, reading is not just an activity, but a necessity that provides energy and happiness.

Over time, Alifa became a person who was rich in knowledge and had a broad perspective. He became someone who loved to share knowledge and influence others with his ideas. For him, books are windows to the world that open up endless opportunities to learn and grow.

Alifa remained true to her love of books and libraries. There, he found a colorful and vibrant life, and filled his thirst for knowledge and experience.

Alifa was sitting alone in the corner of the library, suddenly daydreaming about something. I don't know what the hell is thinking. His face was wrinkled like an unironed shirt. A frown on his forehead, signifying how mumbling his mind was today.

Farah who had been looking for Alifa, saw her friend was daydreaming, she immediately approached.

"Hey! Wagging what, anyway?" asked Farah softly. Reawakening Alifa from the shadows of her life's problems.

Alifa was surprised by Farah's voice. "E-not really, emm .. I just ..., just thinking about our college assignment again," replied Alifa with a faint smile.

Farah looked at Alifa, as if she knew her best friend needed a listener. "Alifa. I know you not just yesterday, you know! If you have a problem, tell me. It's nothing, it's."

Alfie hugged Farah. Instantly her tears were dripping. Farah stroked Alifa's shoulder in her arms.

"Alifa. What the hell's going on? You have a problem with Alim, a family problem, or who? Try to tell me the same story," said Farah, worried.

Alifa's tear divorce already represents that she is not okay.

"Okay, if you don't want to tell a story. I will not make it either, though. But if you need help, I'm always ready to help you" said Farah.

In Alifa's tight embrace, Farah could feel that her best friend was experiencing deep sadness. Although Farah did not know for sure what was the problem of Alfah, she was able to read the expressions and energies emanating from him. There may be emptiness or a feeling of being overwhelmed that feels so intense.

Farah, as a sensitive and caring friend, wanted to provide support and comfort to Alifa. Although he does not know the details of the problem, but he knows that being present beside Alifa and providing a warm presence, can be the first step to help ease the burden that Alifa is feeling.

In this moment, Farah tried to calm Alifa down with her presence and affectionate embrace. In the silence and warmth of their embrace, Alifa may feel heard, understood, and accepted whatever she is going through. Farah may radiate an energy of empathy and gentleness, suggesting that she is ready to listen and support Alifa unconditionally.

Farah's willingness to feel and share Alifa's grief without having to know the details, shows the level of closeness and trust in their friendship. In moments like this, presence and togetherness become more important than knowing all the details of the problem. Farah is ready to be a good listener, offers her a shoulder to cry on, and sends a signal that Alifa is not alone in the face of her grief.

In the warmth and tenderness of the embrace, Alifa may feel appreciated, supported, and have a place to vent her feelings. Although there are still obstacles to face, but having a friend like Farah by his side, gives hope and strength to keep going forward.
