I don't know how long Jati has been fired from school. Sandalwood does not want to remember the number, because it will only burden its steps to wade through tomorrow. Nevertheless, Sandalwood was unable to evade, his life changed. He lost something he didn't really have. The pain is confusing.
Almost every day Cendana visited the road, his memory point with Jati. Nothing had changed after setting foot there, other than a more peaceful heart thanks to the scent and the shadow crumbs of the Teak smile on the sheets of air. Now, what else does Sandalwood have about Teak besides memories that somehow depict it? Also a piece of future draft paper that he still guarded wholeheartedly. As long as fate toyed with them at this time, Cendana was sure, he could show all his dreams to the man who was the source of the dreams themselves.
The final exam succeeded Cendana through quite well. He has tried as much as possible. He believed that results would not betray. Filling the void while waiting for the announcement of the results of the test, Cendana plunge help Mama take care of her Wedding Organizer. Although Mama had banned it, but Cendana was happy to do it. After all, silence would only give his brain a chance to get back crammed with all the memories of Teak.
Tonight Sandalwood and Mama again returned home a little late after fighting at the reception location of one of their clients. Unlike usual, this time Papa seemed to be deliberately waiting for them on the terrace. Seeing Papa's expression that was like he wanted to talk about difficult things, made Sandalwood and Mama wonder. What's important until Papa waits on the porch?
"Why is this here?" Sukma spoke first, after filling an empty seat beside her husband.
Because the chair on the terrace was only two, Cendana just stood next to his papa.
Hajir did not immediately answer, still seemed to be weighing.
As if understanding the condition of the husband, Sukma's hand moved to touch Hajir's arm, squeezing it slowly.
"We will move to Makassar" Hajir said after taking a deep breath.
Sandalwood and Mama immediately satirized. Somehow I have to respond.
"Why do we have to get out of here?" Of course Sukma needs an explanation, so that he has a strong reason to leave his job and business.
"There is an old friend of Papa who is willing to hire Papa in his company. His position is somewhat below, but Papa promises to be serious about living it. Papa rasa, this is the best for now."
So far Hajir has struggled desperately to get a decent job. But the work in this city is not easy. After a long period of weighing, Hajir finally decided to take this step.
"Keep, Mama's job?"
"It's precisely because of that. Papa can't bear to work alone Mama. Papa feels guilty. Where is Papa's responsibility as a husband?"
Mama exchanged looks with Cendana. Unwillingness was clearly drawn on his face.
"In Makassar, Mama can still set up a new Wedding Organizer, if that's what's burdensome for Mama." Hajir understood, his wife founded the Wedding Organizer started from a hobby.
"Don't know if Mama has any doubts. But, believe me Papa, everything will be fine."
Silent hanging. The little family seemed to be busy with their own thoughts. They have their own considerations that are still not finished.
"What about you, honey?" ask Sukma finally to Cendana.
"The funds are up to Papa-Mama," replied Cendana lightly. Although he had been jolted by Papa's decision and now his head was filled with various images of possibilities. One thing that burdens Cendana, the road. He couldn't have moved it to Makassar. However, the memories let him live in his own world. He will not die just because Sandalwood no longer visits that place. As far as Sandalwood goes, it will keep ticking along with the longing and hope that continues to bloom. Until now, Cendana's biggest dream is still the same, just want to be next to the person he loves, Jati.

Ririshabar, Makassar.
Although not directly agreed, since the beginning Mama and Cendana did not intend to oppose Papa's decision. They just need time before taking off everything in Semarang. Mama needs to clear up her responsibilities at the company where she works, before resigning properly. He also had to finish some things at his Wedding Organizer, before giving up completely to the hands of his best friend who accompanied him struggled all along. Of course, Mama's colleagues are very regretful of the decision she took, but Mama must also appreciate Papa's decision as husband and head of the family.
Cendana and his family contracted a modest house in the Villa Mutiara area. The second day in Makassar, Hajir immediately began working in his friend's contractor company, occupying the position of field supervisor. Although the task is quite heavy compared to all this time he just sat in the air conditioned room while waiting for the report, Hajir was very grateful for the position. According to him, this is how God saves his misstep before it becomes more so.

The Nusa Bangsa High School Hall today is filled with beautiful faces. As in previous years, this year also one of the favorite High School in Lumpia City was successfully graduated 100% of its students. Today they gathered to celebrate.
Hundreds of plastic chairs that have been wrapped in silver are arranged so neatly that they fill three-quarters of the room. The lips of the windows and the corners of the room were covered with maroon-red cloth. The small stage in front of the row of chairs was covered in red carpet. The fringes are surrounded by a series of red and yellow balloons that form a spiral motif. In the middle of the stage there is a podium, complete with a microphone that has been connected to prime quality speakers.
In addition to the release of the 2015 class of students, there will also be the submission of trophies for the best graduates and several escort events. All of that is neatly arranged in the arrangement of events held by Jaka. As the secretary of the organizing committee, Jaka observed it once again. Do not let there be the slightest obstruction. From the opening to the closing, everything should go smoothly. Feeling no problem with the arrangement of the event, Jaka swept a view to all corners of the room. Let no one forget. Not only Jaka, other organizers also help ensure conditions to the outdoors.
The timing of their proposal was approved, Jaka's loudest cheers. The reason, in a proposal that has been signed by the principal, Jaka proposed to invite one of the newcomer bands as a guest star. The reason the school approves, maybe because the fees listed are quite affordable. They just don't know, that The Second Change Band in question is a Teak band.
After the release of their first single, the name The Second Change Band began to be familiar in the ears of connoisseurs of homeland music. Their video clips on the record label's YouTube channel overshadowed them were not too booming, but offers to fill out events at various private television stations began to arrive.
Jaka and the other members of the committee never planned to present a guest star, especially for a band that was already nationally ranked. They are afraid of cost. All this started from Jati who suddenly called Jaka a few weeks ago. So flow casual chatter about many things until a plan is triggered in the mind of Jati, who needs support from Jaka in order to be realized.
Sitting in the front row seat, Jaka was checking his handycam condition while looking through some taped tapes, as students and parents and guardians began to enter the room. Living the last days at school, Jaka does have a new habit. He likes to record the atmosphere of the school on various occasions, then archived on his Youtube channel. The reason, so that it is easy to see back when he suddenly misses the gray white period someday.
About 30 minutes later, there were hardly any more empty seats. Two MCs took to the stage, a sign that the graduation ceremony was about to begin. The opening by the MC was continued with a speech from the Headmaster. That's how the show started rolling through to the top event. Jaka and team are relieved. Everything went according to plan.
When he arrived at the event that he had been waiting for, Jaka took over the role of MC. So enthusiastic, the love expert insisted want his own present. A boisterous cheerful echoed across the room, as Jaka mentioned the name of the band that had been kept secret from the start. The students, especially those who had been her students, were hysterical when they saw Jati, their former teacher and new idol, walking up to the stage until she arrived in front of the microphone booth.
Although his career at the school was so short, the hysterical students who continued to shout his name made Jati moved. All this is also thanks to The Second Change Band. Jati waved her hand while sweeping a glance. Although he had heard directly from Jaka, that Cendana could not attend because he had moved to Makassar, Teak was still hoping to find the owner of the mole near the lip among hundreds of people in this room. Jati will do one of the most important things in her life. That's why he's standing on this stage.
As if to complete the sense of impatience that emanated clearly from the faces in front of him, after doing a series of preparations, Jati and her friends immediately presented their flagship song that began to be loved by many young people. The audience seemed to enjoy the appearance of Teak. Many sang along while waving their hands along with the tempo. Stupidly, among the offerings, Jati was still trying to find the figure of Sandalwood. His brain was hard to accept, that the mooring of his heart was on another island.
Finished showing the first song, Jati gave the code to Jaka, asked for a seat. Now time. Therefore, Teak needs a more comfortable position. Jati quickly took over the seat offered by Jaka. He sat down and held a guitar. The microphone booth in front of him was lowered to the height of his seat.
"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh," Jati greeting after finishing preparing.
After the audience simultaneously answered the greeting of Teak, the room suddenly quieted down. They are still curious, will be treated to what kind of appearance next.
