I'm Sure He's My Match

School Farewell, Him and Pearl

Every meeting must be a farewell, now is the time for me to be with 12 mipa 11 children to separate. The real thing doesn't want to exist but yes it is life. We will not be together forever. There is a path each of us must reach. Three years is not a minute, so many memories that we have gone through.

At that time, at the time of separation, our school held an official event of the release of 12th grade students. The show was very lively, and full of days. All the female students wore kebaya, and the male students wore suits. Looks very different, pretty-beautiful and handsome-looking. What's more of him, Kiki? Ja. Even though he looks not confident in the suit he is wearing, he still looks handsome. I came with my mom. I was so proud to see my mom on the show. First time mom attended her son's farewell. I'm not strong when I see my mom's face, it feels grateful to be able to graduate High School. One by one called for the submission of diplomas by the homeroom, after which students are encouraged to approach their respective parents. My name was called "Rivi Anggraeni" I went straight to the stage, Teacher hugged me and handed me my diploma. After that, I went to my mother, thanked her, apologized, and asked for prayer.

"Ma, Ivi passed." I cry feeling proud.

"Yes dear Alhamdulillah."

"Thank you ma, for all your sacrifices for Ivi, Ivi apologizes also for all Ivi's mistakes with mama, Ivi asks a prayer from mama, Ivi asks a prayer from mama, hopefully in the future Ivi will be a better child. Success of the world, hereafter."

"Dear amiin, mama always prayed for Ivi." Mama hugged me.

"Ma, let's take a picture with yuk."

"Dear dear."

In a place that has been provided for photos with parents, I took a portrait with my mother there.

After that, there was a call from the host for a class shooting session, and it was time for the 12th grade mipa 11. The class photos were finished so that me and my friends returned to the event venue.

Kiki came with her father and sister. Kiki looks very happy. Kiki and her bandmates performed at the time. Brother Tia, Kiki's brother faithfully waited for him to perform, while his papa had gone home first. Coincidentally kiki was last featured for the closing. I want to see him one last time at this school. I sat at the front. When he came to perform, I felt sad because I had to part with him, it would be very difficult to meet again.

"Hey, don't daydream Vi." Vina.

"Eh astaghfirullahal'adzim."

"Vi, that's really look at Kikinya."

"That's how? It's just normal."

"You sad?"

"Who is not sad to part with you. Although I could have met you, but it feels so heavy."

"Not that. Are you sad to be separated from Kiki?"

"Yes, Kiki is also my friend, not sad time separated from friends. Your question is rhetorical Na."

"It's not Vi, but it's hehe.. You don't give Kiki anything?"

"No Na."

"Why? He said he wanted to give Kiki something on this farewell day."

"Not being Na. Maybe he's got something out of the pearl." I looked at my phone and showed a picture of Kiki and Pearl that looked very romantic. Pearl's hand held Kiki's hand affectionately, and Kikipun's face was a bright smile, full of happiness.

"Hm.... Yeah, I made me that thing. Hehe."

"Different dong if for you, want now? What's it gonna be?" I laughed a little.

"When later?"

"Later from Ano. Haha."

"What the hell, different again dong if it's. Now that's from yours."

"Really now?"

"Yes really."

"A really good idea now?"

"You are Vi, I can't wait."

"Shut her eyes for a minute."

"One, two, three. Open the..."

"Geez thank you Vi. You're the best, thanks for the chocolate I must have eaten. I'll read the letter first."

"Eh Don't first, just open the letter later. You read it when you get home. If here later you cry the reading, it's a pity we've paid for expensive makeup. Haha."

"Yes, I'll read it at home. Thank you, yeah."

"Yes, we are both Na."

"Now I made you." Vina gave me Pocky a taste of banana.

"Ya Allaah Syukron wa jazakillah Vina. Just know what I like." Hugging Vina.

"Yes dong. Hehe."

"Don't you know why I give you chocolate?"

"Let me get fat, right?"

"Well, you're smart. Haha."

"Ah base you Vi."

After the show was over, Love, Karen, and Vina took me to the school garden. Kiki and the other friends passed by.

"Ki, Ki.." Love calls Kiki.

"What's the matter Ta?"

"They want to take a picture with you."

"Eh what the hell is Ta." I'm pinching Love.

"Shut up, if not you'll be lazy."

"Oh, come on." Kiki approached me.

Me and Kiki took a picture, Love took 3 photo portraits of the two of us. As usual, I was nervous being close to him. Our photo doesn't look beautiful. My nervous face was photographed in the photo.

After that, Kiki pulled my hand.

"Where are you going?"

"Let's come along."

"Before a minute, let go of my hand." I stopped my tracks.

"Yes, I'm free."

"Ta, wait for me yeah, I'm coming home with you."

"Yes Vi, I'm waiting for you." Love awaits me while Vina and Karen go home first.

Kiki walked first and I followed her. Kiki stopped at a place where not many people were.

"Here sit!" Kiki told me to sit down.

"Yes" I sat next to him, a good distance away.

"Vi, uh,.." Kiki.

"Yes what?"

"Kiki wants to thank Ivi, for three years Ivi has been a good friend of Kiki, a friend who always teaches Kiki kindness. Even though we were a long way away because of that, Kiki never forgot a friend like Ivi. Kiki wants us to be friends forever. Kiki also apologized that Kiki's attitude with Ivi often makes Ivi cry."

"Sorry Ki, Kiki wasn't wrong. What's wrong with me, if I didn't expect Kiki to happen it wouldn't be like this." I spoke without looking at Kiki.

"Yes Vi, may we become better people in the future, may we succeed in the afterlife. And may Ivi get a sholeh, handsome, and kind lover. We're gonna be hard to meet Vi. Kiki Insyaallah went to college in Bandung. Papah Kiki told Kiki to continue his business, so I took management at UNPAS. Doain ya Vi, hopefully I can run it all. Don't forget to invite Kiki if Ivi gets married."

I just smiled, kept quiet and cried hearing all of Kiki's words. I am a person who cries easily.

"Vi, how are you quiet?" Kiki approached me.

"You crying?" Ask Kiki.

"No Ki, just a glint, the wind was big just now. Have Ki talked? Nothing to talk about anymore? Thank you for everything, you should be excited for the lecture, proud of your family. I say hi first Ki. Assalamu'alaikum." I was no longer able to talk to Kiki, I immediately ended the conversation.

"Vi where?" Love saw me passing by in a hurry to leave.

I hurried to leave not even listening to what love was saying.

"Why the Ivi, just play away. He said he wanted to go home with her."

"Eh. uh.. Ki, Ivi why is that in such a hurry?" Love stopped Kiki's bike.

"No papa Ta."

"Seriously Lo Ki, Lo apain Ivi? Looks like Ivi was sad."

"Sorry hurry Ta. Assalamu'alaikum." Kiki's gone.

I walk from the school gate to the gate where the angkot is waiting. The atmosphere around was very quiet because the other students were already at home. No one looks like a passing human. There was only him passing by on a bonny red motorbike with a beautiful woman wearing a purple kebaya. Kiki and Pearl? Exactly it. Kiki was in a hurry because Pearl was already waiting for her in the parking lot. They passed in front of me. Right in front of my eyes. What he had once kept secret, now he was revealed. Kiki greeted me with the sound of her motor horn and said "Vi First". I don't know why my heart hurts, but I should be happy because Kiki is happy with Pearl.

Arriving at home, because the mother had gone home first picked up by Dura, the mother asked me about my eyes.

"Vi why are your eyes puffy?"

"What's wrong, ma, it's been sad just like friends." I went straight to the room.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Love and Karen came to my house.

"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Uh Love, Karen. Come on in." Mom told Love and Karen to come in.

"Ivi's home, isn't she?" Ask Love.

"Here, just went straight into the room. Please look at Ivi's room. He seems sad. But, mama doesn't know why, maybe if the same you guys, Ivi can tell. Mama get you a drink."

"Yes please."

"Darrrr..." Love and Karen surprised me who was playing a mobile phone saw the results of the photos with friends.

"Why is he here?" I asked Love and Karen.

"Our father dong, we are like you."

"After I didn't see it, haha. Even though we only met for half an hour, you guys already miss."

"Yes, Love, Vi." Said Karen.

"Eh what the fuck, you're Ren's time." Love Words.

"Hmm already, I know you two miss me. Haha." Trying not to be sad, I laughed.

"No, no, no. Wlee."

"Basic y'all yeah. I would have left if I didn't miss me. Why try to come here."

"Aelah Ivi is angry Ta. Haha." Said Karen.

"Let Ren, he's angry too, it won't take long if he's angry. Said friends are also an Ivi it can not be angry, if the anger is just cry. Alay, Ivi Ren?" Love meredekku.

"Heem Ta, that's a real alay. Haha."

"Your Ishh if you want to cheat do not at the wrong time dong."

"What's the matter?"

"No papa at all."

"I know Vi, you're sad. I was calling you, saying you wanted to go home together, but instead just go. So, I went to Karen's house, and I brought Karen here because she wanted to know why."

"Well, are you calling me?"

"That's right if a Rivi Anggraeni again sad, his work daydreaming, people talk not heard, whatever is around him he ignored, wonder me."

"Yes sorry Ta, I didn't hear it."

"Yes, yes I'm sorry. The dong story. Why sad? About the Rifki?"

"That's why, Kiki had a little chat with me, I became sad, and did not know why it was fitting to see Kiki with the pearl boncegan it hurt so much."

"Oh that, did you just talk to Kiki? Then why do you know Kiki's boning with Pearls?"

"There it is, kepo. Wlee."

"Oh so yeah, play with secrets." Love Words.

"Yes Ivi is not cool." Said Karen.

"It doesn't matter if you know, uh for a second I haven't got you guys a drink."

"No need for Vi. Your mom already got her drink in front."

"Oh yeah, I brought it here first."

"OK on."

"Drink it." I brought her a drink.

"Thank you Ivi."

"Together."

"Geez, these crackers are always in Ivi's house, I'm in love with these crackers." Love Words.

"Don't fall in love with me, huh? Haha."

"No, monmaaf. I'm still a normal Vi. Wlee."

"Who knows you're not normal, haha."

"Eh, uh, this isn't a joke, it's not funny."

"Ivi is right Ta. Haha." Said Karen.

"Tuh, that's it. Karen agreed too. Haha.."

"You guys making a storm?" Ask Ciinta.

"Come, who's afraid. Wlee..." Karen and I challenged him.

We are like children, throw pillows, bolsters, and dolls.

I tried to hide my feelings of sadness in the presence of Love and Karen. I don't want to say on this farewell day that I'm just telling my grief about them, let alone about men.

"Ah, I give it up." Love Words.

"Goddessahhh.." Cheers for me and Karen.

"Lw...." Love called.

"Yes what Ta?"

"This is from me for you." Love gives chocolates and flowers with her letter message.

"I have one for Ivi too." Karen said while giving me the Doraemon doll.

"Yes Allaah, Alhamdulillah, jazakallahu khoiron katsiron, Karen, Love." I hugged them.

"Sama-sama Ivi."

"I have something for you too."

"What?"

"Short of a second, I'll take it... "

"Now, for you." I gave you my self-made storybook about our friendship journey.

"Geez, that's funny, that's unique. Thanks a lot Ivi." Love and Karen.

"Together."

"This is another one for whom Vi?"

"Oh that's for Vina. Wanted to fit in at school, but forgot, missed."

"Well, where did you get this picture of me?" Karen showed me one of the photos in the book.

"Secret dong. Haha."

"You must have stolen it from my house, huh?"

"No dong, weeee."

"Arghhhh gemes I really like."

"Who dong used to do it. Haha."

"Not be like it. Haha."

"Eh it's 16:00, I have to go home, I want my new home to be saved, I have to help prepare everything." Love Words.

"I'm Vi too, go home." Said Karen.

"Oh yes, no papa. Thanks a lot for everything. Never hesitate if you want to play here, even though we are not one school, but we are still friends. Friends forever."

"Arghhh....." We hugged each other.

"Look Vi, anterin forward." Love Words.

"Tomorrow, ayok,.."

"Ma, these friends want to go home." I called mama.

"What for a second? Just sleep here, sleep here."

"Hehe, thank you ma. There's an event at home, so we need to get home." Love Words.

"Oh yes, Karen here. The Ivi."

"Hehe, gotta go home ma, who's at home missing me, hehe." Karen Kanda.

"What the hell is Ren, haha." Love laughs at Karen's reason.

My mom and I laughed at Karen's reasoning.

"Yes, be careful on the road, don't speed with the bike." Mama said.

"Yes ma, ready."

"Assalamu'alaikum ma, Vi."

"Wa'alaikumussalam."

When they came home, my memory went back to what I shouldn't have thought. The shadow of Kiki and Pearl was ringing in my mind.
