LOVE Plus Minus

Puzzle of the Heart (4)

"Thank you mama, thank you papa." I said as I hugged them in turns, my unstoppable tears now flowing down my cheeks.

"Kok cry baby?" asked Mama rubbed my face which was now wet with tears.

"Terharu mam.he.."

"There are you" said papa smiling.

A smile that had not adorned my father's face for a long time.

"I don't care about any danger out there waiting for me. I want to fight my hardest to achieve my dreams and make my family happy." I promise in my heart while looking at the happy faces of my parents.

It's still 11:00 and Noni's class is over. The girl repeatedly turned towards the man who sat at the very back during the lecture. Realizing the class was over, the girl finally stepped lazily towards the doorway.

"Where are you going?" someone suddenly confronted Noni.

"Andrew, not loe?"

"Don't sell expensive. Throughout the class you kept glancing at me right?'

"What the hell is loe?"

"You're Noni. use your word, not loe."

"I care so much" said Noni as she passed away leaving the man.

"Geez, my heart is almost dislodged." muttered Noni inwardly as she quickened her pace.

While Andrew, the man continues to follow Noni from afar. Eventually, the girl decided to sit on one of the chairs in the library.

"Feasily you become a friend let alone a girlfriend." teased Andrew then when successfully caught up with Noni.

"Andrew. don't bother me."

"Who would bother you Noni? Nih, for you." said Andrew pulled a white rose out of his bag.

"Sorry just a sprig. Next time I will bring more for you." Andrew said as he placed the rose on the table in front of Noni.

"No need." replied Noni ketus, but her face that met with red can not cover her feelings now.

"Cie, that red blush." led Andrew.

"Loe didn't leave here? Loe go or am I flush?" threaten Noni while opening the bottle.

"Yes. I go. I go." replied Andrew.

The man stepped away, finally contacting someone. And after making sure everything was in order, the man took the most comfortable position in the park to watch over Noni.

"Sister.this is a deposit." said one girl handed a white rose to Noni.

"Si Andrew is as crazy as he is." replied Noni as she received the flower.

After a few minutes, someone else came to deliver flowers to Noni. After an hour finally dozens of white rose stalks lay on the girl's table.

"Loe sells flowers?" ask Cintya who suddenly appeared.

"No. There's a crazy guy who sent me flowers."

"Crazy? Not crazy Noni, this is called romantic" said Cintya.

Noni just shook her head in frustration with the behavior of her best friend.

"Not for a month has the child been harassed by the jerk, but it can return to normal gini. Crazy, this child is really strong." muttered Noni in heart.

"Dec, which Noni is it?" a girl approached me with Noni.

"She's sister." I answered while pointing at Noni.

"It's a man's seat there" said the girl handed him a white rose and a letter to Noni.

Noni accepted the woman's gift with ogah-ogahan.

"Crazy child." said Noni.

"Tried it Non. You like Andrew too."

"But I can't do it."

"Can't do what?"

"Gue can't stay for him" Noni said in her heart.

"Gue can't be sure that my 50 steps are the same as the 50 steps he means." replied Noni.

"Same or not, of course you have dared to try. As a friend, I hope that Noni can take every decision in her life with courage. No matter whether your decision is wrong or right, most importantly you dare to choose the decision Non. Between profit and loss, right and wrong, life and death, humans will not be able to ensure those things. But we, must be able to choose something we really want." I tried to convince Noni while holding her hand.

"Thank you Love." Noni hugged me briefly before finally standing up and started counting the first 50 steps of her love story.

"49, 50, ah this is finally the 50th step" I said. I've been talking to myself since, counting steps from the order of 1 to 50.

"There's nothing here." I muttered confusedly.

I turned my body around, and looked at the area around me. I was still in the garden, and now I'm standing in the sun alone. There was no one around me. Suddenly a paper plane hit my arm. I grabbed the paper and opened the fold. I received another letter.

"Didn't find anything after 50 steps? this is how life is, there is always no guarantee of everything. But will you take 30 steps to the left for a new happiness?" I read the sentence in the letter slowly.

"It's so weird." I nagged annoyed, but I decided to step in as well.

"27, 28, 29, 30." I swirled around under the hot sun after 30 steps.

"This is for you. You're Noni, right?" said a foreign girl who approached me, she handed me a bundle of heart-shaped ballons.

"Yes I'm Noni." I replied as I grabbed the ballon.

I immediately unfolded the envelope of mail at the end of the ballon-binding thread.

"Thank you for choosing to go this far. Twenty steps to the right, I'm waiting for you." I read the letter.

"Loe's sun is very hot." My scolding is not while stepping back.

"Is it true after twenty steps I will meet Andrew? what if it doesn't? Even if it's Andrew, can I accept this feeling? I'm not sure if I'll stay any longer. Why am I worried like this? Hasn't my leukemia healed? I'm so stupid." I told myself.

"Eh? what step is this?" I said confused while looking left and right. I'm still in the park, bathed in the blazing sun. From where I stood I could see the position of Cintya sitting not far from me.

"Cintya." I yelled at him.

"Noni?"Cintya immediately turned her body to look at me.

"Gue forgot to count the numbers." I said sadly.

Cintya patted her eel while shaking her funny.

"It's okay. Even if you forget to count the steps, you still get to the right place. Will you be my girlfriend?" Andrew who had suddenly appeared was now kneeling before me.

"Noni, loe why?" Cinta screamed hysterically while running towards me.

"Gue wants to be Loe Ndrew's girlfriend, but are you ready if I..." Suddenly my eyes darkened. Just before I fell I saw a few drops of blood fall on the white rose petal that Andrew was holding.

"Noni...Noni...!!" I heard the voice of Cintya san Andrew calling my name. My body now landed right in Andrew's arms before hitting the park, while the balloon in my grasp flew high into the sky.

I used to think I wanted to live because of my love for my dad, mom and brother Dave. Now I want to keep living to love all three of them plus Cintya, Steve and Andrew. Am I being too greedy? Guess this heart, who can answer it? I just want to live a little longer. I am Noni, today before I was unconscious I understand that human feelings can change.

\*\*\*

As I recall I was still in the garden of University X, receiving love from a man named Andrew. I was suddenly on the edge of a very clear river. There are so many types of beautiful flowers decorated with butterflies that fly here and there. Everything in this place looks shiny. I raised my hand to touch the flowers, and it turned out that my hand was also now sparkling.

"White rose?" muttered.

I'm trying to remember something about white roses. There seems to be a memory of this flower in my memory. But I can't find him. In my memory I remember many things. About George suddenly harassing Cintya. Steve's always on standby for me and Cintya. Dave who even knows when to worry about Cintya. I fell in love with Andrew. Puzzle the heart, a mystery that I really want to know the end knot. I want to live longer.
