Like Drama's

#Fourty Five

That day also came. The day my dreams and the dreams of my late parents finally came true. Seeing me at graduation was their biggest hope. But baby, things don't happen the way we humans want them to. Because God always has the best plan for his people, even if we never want the way.

Today, I graduated thankfully along with Alya and Radit as well. We graduated together. We have always been together since we were in school.

Today that should have been witnessed with pride by both my parents, but it turned out to have happened without them.

Just me.

Bitter indeed, but there is still a sweet taste even though it contains pain.

I don't know why I see the proud smiles of my parents here in this place. In this crowd, and in this world.

Ma ... Pa ...

I know you must have seen me. I'm here, without you. But there's another family that makes me not alone.

If only God would have allowed you in a moment until my graduation happened–

"Don't fuck around there! Come on, we haven't finished the photos!" Alya pulled my arm and dragged me back towards her parents.

There was Radit and his family. Yeah, we're together.

Yesterday, they came to Alya's house after Alya told me about my news and my parents. Then they–Radit and family–scold me too. Just like Alya. Radit even kept me quiet until the next morning. And this morning he finally hugged me sincerely and said that we should all recount what had happened. Especially me. I must be strong and steadfast, where Radit always reminds me that there will always be him ready as my brother.

.......

.......

I have indeed graduated.

But it feels cloudy.

Although not that big either.

Despite enduring the pain and sorrow, but the existence of my two best friends' families was able to give me a little more strength in the midst of this downturn.

"My photo is of Zura, Al!" Radit grabbed my shoulder. "Please say this if I hug you," he said while glancing mischievously at me.

I know what that means.

So I glared at him, and he was just a whimper.

"Don't you, why talk about him?"

"Yes, yes ..."

Why talk about someone I'm starting to forget? I try, every day, to forget him. It's the second half after I managed to drive Montana out of my heart with great difficulty. Now I have to repeat it again. Forgetting someone who has managed to enter my heart.

It's difficult. It's even too hard somehow.

"Come hunted! I also want photos, times, even you gossip there," said Alya impatiently. He was in charge of taking pictures of us this time.

"Bodo" said Alya. "Ra, big smile dong," she still directs us.

"It's wide, Al. What's the width of it anymore?"

"Alya is very complicated, many wants," chirped Radit who immediately got a deathly gaze from the girl. "Hunt time, gpl yes."

I try to always smile sweetly every time I'm going to be photographed. Even this time my smile leads to Radit's phone held by Alya.

"Therefore we are three tablets" cried Alya again after he took a picture of me with Radit. Then Sandi, his papa, took over Radit's phone to photograph us. And this is the umpteenth time. Since the beginning of the event has not started, how many cameras Alya used to photograph all the moments.

When I was just looking for a good style to take pictures with Radit and Alya, it was somehow as if my eyes caught a figure in the distance. Among the crowd. A familiar figure in my eyes.

Her.

But, uh,

Ah, where is possible!

My eyes must have been wrong.

Or is the world that small?

Or did he come back to my life?

I don't know.

I don't want to guess.

That must have happened in just a moment. Because when I wanted to confirm my vision again, the figure I had begun to forget was already invisible.

Disappear among the crowd, or is it just my hallucination?

I don't know.

"Why?" alya's call made me look.

Then I shook my head. "Ah, no."

...👓👓👓👓👓...

After this, Raju's new life begins.
