Floating Boat

...It's surprising...

...***********...

I was given the opportunity to enjoy the atmosphere of the race of the new Phinisi ship down to the sea. A stunning and eye-catching sight. Because every year this race will be held in Makassar Bugis Village as a symbol to commemorate Phinisi Ship day.

For some people, especially the fishermen, today is very much awaited because at this celebration there are many gifts that can be obtained. Not only that, the community atmosphere becomes more harmonious with each other knowing each other.

There is an interesting thing, in this race can only be followed by those who already have a fishing certificate and recommendations from the government.

Unique again; champion one can enjoy the most interesting prize that is to spend the night in the most luxurious hotel in Makassar City.

I, who just saw this show, would love to be able to come along. But, oh ! I don't have a Phinisi. In that festive occasion, the race was about to begin. And the one who opened the race event was the Governor directly.

At that moment, I actually saw the figure of Miss's appearance that was so respected by many people.

In my memories I can feel how I walked with you, in my memories I can talk to you but for now, it's hard to meet and it can happen. Especially since the incident at the dock at that time, it was even impossible to meet you.

When I saw you standing in front of a lot of people. I saw a noble who was so beautiful, compared to my life, much different from you. In fact, you can only make me as your personal helper, not as a man that you must love.

Those eyes were probably looking for a figure missing from her small petals. Among the many people who were looking at him, he actually looked here and there. I'm standing next to Resky, hiding behind his back. Maybe I'm not the one he's looking for, but I'm afraid I won't let those eyes see me and call me.

Resky who felt I was a bit strange, she asked me why I should hide behind her.

"Why are you, Eden ?" resky asked quietly while pulling me from behind her.

"No !."

"Ooo, I know, you're afraid not to miss seeing you. You shouldn't be hiding Eden, it's good that he saw you. This is actually the determination. If he calls you in front of a lot of people, in front of his father, that means, you are still very important to him. Not even hiding like that. Here ! beside me now."

With an anxious heart, I returned to my position standing beside Resky, the race will soon be opened by the Governor. It was announced that the rules that became the basis of attention for Phinisi executors in racing. At the end of the announcement, Miss suddenly picked up the mike held by her father. He asked the attention of the people present at the place to listen for a moment to his delivery.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabaraktuh.!, here I stand not as the son of the Governor who just opened the event that will take place. Here, I as a woman, a few days ago an event has occurred at the dock Kampung Bugis, the incident has attracted the attention of the public and the media. In that incident, maybe those present saw me crying. In fact, I would like to clarify that at the time of the incident, I was struck by the presence of a special friend from the small island whom I had visited in order to complete my final study. But due to busy business for various reasons, I can not return the island. My friend came here on a public boat here, I know ! he must be here, between us watching the event that will soon be held. If anyone knows please tell him to move forward. There's a lot I want to talk to him about."

Hearing the delivery, I pulled Resky home. I'm afraid, he'll definitely take me to jail.

Everyone in the storm questioned my name including my identity until someone asked Miss.

"Your friend, is it a man or a woman ?."

"He, the man and his name is Eden, I hope if anyone knows or sees or even knows him, please have him meet me here or tell me who he lives in ?. A woman I saw with him was so brave to defend him. I want her to see clearly who I am in her eyes."

His words scared me. Danger, I could go to jail with the mistake I made on him. Before it happens, before the people here know where I am I'd better leave.

"Resky, we go home now ! there's no way we're still here to see and follow the show until it's over. Miss, it seems so angry at me after the incident at the dock yesterday. You heard what he said just like the people here. He wants to know where I live too. Come on Resky, we're home !."

"Don't !. You want me to be in prison. If you want, I'm in jail then go there, tell Miss that I'm here, with you."

"This is your request. I'm just testing you whether or not you'll be responsible."

In our little debate, I didn't realize that anyone was watching us. Why ? I questioned this to Resky, who was not willing to help me but wanted me to be found by Miss.

When I was going home. Someone shouted saying that the man was here.

"Campus !" said himself.

I ran from the crowd many people avoiding the search Miss. Scoundrels ! sure enough, the bodyguards Resky showed me immediately moved after me.

There was no day of mine, I was caught being held captive by people who already knew that what Miss was looking for was me.

Without tired of the bodyguards chasing me, I was brought before Miss. My face was filled with fear, no longer love, not longing in my heart but hatred in front of her.

In front of him I stood with emotion. I was surrounded by the emotions of the people present to watch the Phinisi ship race that was about to be held. Resky, where are you going ? I don't see him anymore.

Then, Miss with her father down from the podium, came to me and her father said to me, " oh ! this is the man who made my son cry in public ?."

There's no answer from me. My eyes were only fixed on Miss who steadfastly treated like this. If I had known my arrival here would have only been this behavior, I wouldn't have come here. Why was it that when he was in my village, I didn't give him poison.

Voices were screaming here that wanted me to be put in jail.

With compassion, I pleaded with his father to let me go. There was no one I could ask for help but an apology.

"Sir, I confess wrong, please let me go !. I don't know, that woman is the son of an official."

"I'm sorry you deserve only after you've been punished for what you did."

I cried, my tears were dripping no one cared. It was as if I was doing something very difficult to forgive. While Resky doesn't know where ? there is only pain I can endure for now.

"Eden, you calm down" Missed me.

"Take the young man home, put him in the car" the father ordered.

His father returned to the podium to open the event. When it opened, Miss, her father, returned to the car to go home.

In the car, I thought that if this was my hunting destiny, I accepted it sincerely. The car moves through every road I don't know.

Only kindness can save me now. Forever, Miss is the meanest woman I've ever known.
