Flowers In Summer, Trouvaille 2

Annasya

Jakarta July 2013

"Mothers... Anna graduated." said the girl while running after the woman who is now standing on the doorstep of a tiny house in one corner of Jakarta.

"Mother, it's not usual for mother to welcome me to the door." Inner girl. But because the euphoria of graduation made him ignore the doubts that had arisen in his heart. Annasya, as soon as the girl was named, ran towards her mother. And hugged the mother tightly.

"Mothers.. Anna graduated. Anna graduated." Annasya cheered happily.

"Mother must be happy, right, Mom? Where's father, ma'am?" ask the child to his mother.

The middle-aged woman who had already let go of her daughter's embrace was simply fixated, silent without a word. Her lips twitched, then her tears flowed down her cheeks. She was crying without a sound.

"No ma'am, don't cry. What's up, Mom? Where's mr? Mammy? Mommy?"

"Anna's... Anna's... Annasya.." a voice and a hand that shook her body resuscitated Anna.

"Anna dreams ma'am." replied the girl as she raised her head.

"Mother why?" The girl asked her mother who was now silent. Suddenly the waiting room of the hospital that was noisy felt quiet and empty. Annasya felt something was wrong.

"Mom, don't shut up. What was? What's up, Mom? Mister? Father how the operation is smooth, right ma'am?" ask the girl in frustration.

"Mr. I'm gone, son." said the woman in a trembling voice.

Annasya was crying and wailing so much, she even roared violently. But as many tears as possible will never be enough to bring the father back.

Annasya stared at the crimson ground that was now in front of her. There, down there was the stiff body of the man she loved so much. Father, Father, Papa, Papi, Daddy, the first love figure of every little princess. And now Anna's first love is gone, leaving without a goodbye.

"Anna, go to Korea." said Mom breaking the silence around the red land.

"What's Mom doing?"

"That was my father's last message. He knew Anna won a scholarship there. You said, whatever happens, Anna has to pursue your goals, son."

"But Ma'am." asked Anna riled up as she*the red earth in her grasp.

"Anna dear Father, right son?" ask Mom with a trembling voice.

"Yes ma'am."

"Go."

Finally on this red land, he decided to chase the dream to the height of the sky. Anna wants to be a great person for you. Although their world is different now, the blood that flows in his body is the same as that of his first love. It means you stay here with Anna.

Seoul city international airport August 2013

Anna stepped a little hesitantly while looking left and right. This place is very foreign to the girl.

"Mother..." Anna whispered with worry.

"Don't be afraid. If Anna didn't know to ask, as long as there were people there and as long as Anna didn't have any evil intentions, there would be someone to help." mother's message flashed in her ear.

Anna moved slowly and hesitantly approached someone. But suddenly his pair of eyes caught a cardboard reading "Annasya Lionita."

"That's my name" the girl shrieked inwardly as she rushed towards earlier.

"Hallo, waiting for Annasya?" ask carefully using English.

"en. an. uh..." The girl holding the paper inscribed with her name looked hesitant.

"Is my English that bad? Even though I have tutoring, my IELTS score is also very satisfying." Anna muttered again while scratching her head that did not itch.

"You waiting for Annasya?" ask her then with Korean language. She has also been teaching Korean for the past three years.

"I'm waiting for Annasya" he replied enthusiastically.

"I. I'm Annasya."

"Oh, your Korean is so bad" he replied later, pulling Anna's hand from there.

Rara is from a different department with Anna, she is now in her second year. Rara only helped pick up Anna as one of the student bonding work programs in the campus. Annasya will study in Biotechnology, and of course live in a dorm, she does not have enough funds to rent an off-campus apartment, you should know her mother is just a PNS teacher in Junior High School. The salary will not be enough if you have to fund the girl's life while here, not to mention covering the cost of loans for the treatment of her father.

One day, Anna wants to find the most powerful way to cure liver cancer. The illness that separated her from her first love. That was the reason why Anna chose this major.

"Hi, I'm Eve." Someone opened the door to the room already occupied by Anna and wait a minute, she used Indonesian right?

"You're from Indonesia?" anna asked enthusiastically as she walked towards the door.

"Yes. You either?" peeking the curly-haired girl was no less enthusiastic.

"Yes." Yeah."

Like two people meeting old friends, that's how they hug while jumping around. Both turned out to be equally grateful to meet people from the same country here.

"Anna, where are you from?" eve asked, they had just finished tidying up the room and shower. Now the two are relaxing on their beds.

"Gue.."

"Jakarta." cut Eve.

"Kok loe know?" asked Anna curiously.

"That's Loe-Gue" Eve replied casually.

The position of their bed was terraced, Eve who occupied the upper floors because she was the one who arrived the last in this room.

"Eve from where?" asked Anna enthusiastically.

"I'm from Bali."

"Gee... Bali is cool?" ask Anna again.

"Anna's never been back?"

"Not yet."

"If the holidays come along Eve ya." haggled the girl while sticking her head out from above peeking at Anna.

"Okay."

"What are you majoring in Ann?"

"Biotechnology, you alone?"

"I majored in physics. uh it turns out we are both from science. Glad."

"Yes, I'm happy too. Uh btw, can I use loe-gue?" ask Anna seriously.

"Bby dong. In Bali also many people who have used Loe-Gue."

.......

The room went back into silence, it seemed like the two young girls were busy with their own thoughts.

"Ann.." call Eve break the silence.

"Yes Ve?"

"Loe's still peraw*n?" ask Eve casually.

"Still." replied Anna.

"Well? How can? Seriously loe?" Eve asked enthusiastically, suspect her enthusiasm now the girl had gone down and slept next to Anna.

"Whoa, when he I joked Ve. Loe herself?"

"Gue's broken, fitting second grade High School." Eve replied casually.

Anna just mute. He was not too surprised by Eve's sentence, because he was aware of many of his friends who also had the same condition. Unlike them, Anna had the principle that keeping her crown was very important. She wants her husband to get Annasya as an untarnished girl, but that does not mean Anna looks down on her friends who have had sex before marriage, even though religious and cultural norms forbid the act, it's still the human culprit we have to love. The wrong action, not the person, is the principle that has been held by Annasya.

The two girls kept quiet. Anna and Eve are busy with their own thoughts.
