Love Treasure And Friendship

Dini and Andi

The sparkling stars scattered decorate the darkness of the night. A beautiful girl sat contemplating in the corner of the room whose wall paint was beginning to fade.

Dini is a high school teenager living with her mother. His father died when he was a baby. Her mother was a housekeeper who had to work from morning to night in her neighbor's house.

The tookk... The tookk... The tookk....

The sound of knocking on the door blew his daydream.

"Here, Andi's ahead, you want to do the job together?" ask Mom from behind the door.

"Yes Mom, Come out."

With a stack of books in her hand, Dini went out to the front hall of her house. Andi is Dini's best friend, they are neighbors. Andi's father was a factory worker while his mother was the only tailor in the area.

"Why are you getting so tangled with Din?" ask Andi

"Laper hehehe," Dini replied with a laugh.

"If so let's buy meatballs, Bang Yono in front of you."

Bang Yono is their subscription meatball seller who stops every night at the house Dini.

"Kok even buy meatballs, this is his job has not been done."

"Eat first let's focus on it."

"Yes, let's go hunting, I'm a laper."

Andi immediately followed Early steps towards his subscription meatballs.

"Two bang meatballs, usually yes!" pinta Dini on Bang Yono.

"Ready, wait a minute!".

Dini and Andi raised their thumbs.

A few minutes later, Bang Yono gave Dini and Andi order meatballs.

"I like to see you two, make me want to be my youth" said Bang Yono.

"Can't it be Bang?" ask Dini.

"I used to also hang out on the side of the road with my wife while still dating, yeah like you guys gini."

"Well, we're not going Bang!" dispute Early.

"Well, I used to do that too, not admitting a girlfriend fitting in front of people, embarrassed he said hahaha." said Bang Yono while laughing satisfied.

"Udah, yes, yes" said Andi slowly with a smile.

"I do'ain you both last until marriage continues to have many children" said Bang Yono.

Huokk.... Huokk... Huokk...

Dinipun choked on hearing Bang Yono's words. Andi immediately gave his iced tea to Dini.

"Drink Din."

"Thanks Ndi, Bang Yono said something anyway."

Andi and Bang Yono laughed at Dini who suddenly choked.

Unlike Dini, Andi actually reflected Bang Yono's speech earlier. Andi and Dini have been friends from childhood because their homes are close together. From their Elementary School to their current High School, they were always together, playing together, going to school together and spending a lot of time together.

When Dini was a child, she was shunned by friends her age because she had no father. He was ridiculed and excommunicated. Only Andi wanted to be friends and play with him. Until now only Andi close friends Dini.

Everything about Dini, Andi must know. About the sadness he hid behind his laughter, about how he loved his mother so much and about the future that always haunted his mind.

The clock was showing at eight p.m., Andi and Dinipun returned the bowl and iced tea to Bang Yono.

"How Much Bang?" andi asked Bang Yono.

"Free for both of you" replied Bang Yono sumringah.

"Well, how's the free bang?" ask Dini.

"Alhamdulillah, I have sustenance today, there are 100 servings for tomorrow, so these are the last two portions I give you free."

"Thank God, thank you, Bang."

Dini and Andi return home. In the front halls of the Early house, they immediately did the tasks that had to be collected tomorrow. Seriously they worked on one by one the problems in their book.

Not infrequently they exchange answers, and explain each other if one of them does not understand the questions that are in their problems. In the interlude of laughter and small talk, they finally completed all the tasks given by their teacher.

They tidied each other's books and sat side by side.

Dini rested her head on Andi's shoulder.

"Din, you know why there are so many stars?" andi asked while pointing towards the sky.

"Because it's fate, hehehe," replied Dini origin.

"Seriously Din,"

"Eh, seriously yes, kirain was joking,"

"Javab to Din!"

"Males thought ah Ndi, just also ngerjain a lot of tasks."

"So you want to know the answer?"

"Yes, why?"

"Why are there so many stars? because they want to keep you, let you know that you're not alone."

"Continue?"

"Let you also know that there must be beauty in every dark of our lives."

"But tomorrow morning they're gone Ndi, they're gone."

"There's Din, they're just invisible, what's invisible doesn't mean there isn't, right?"

"Yes Ndi, you really are."

"What is your job now?"

"What?"

"Your job, you look for the stars in your life so you know the beauty of life that you have always considered dark."

"I've met Ndi, you're the same mother, it's my stars."

"Din, you don't think too much about the macems, just live what's already there, I'm always here for you."

"Yes Ndi."

"Yes I've come home first, you don't sleep malem-malem yes!"

"Yes." Yeah."

After Andi came home, Dini immediately went into her room. He thought of Andi's words. All this time Dini always considered her life so dark. He never felt the affection of a father from childhood and his mother had to work hard to meet daily needs.

Bu Ranti's message - Early Mom - to her is to always focus on learning in order to be successful, because if not, inevitably she must marry a rich man whose mother chose.

Although Dini felt disapproving, she did not dare to refuse his mother's request, because all she had right now was her mother. He must be able to boast of his mother with the achievements he achieved or if he must, he will marry the man of his mother's choice.

"Din, come here for a second, baby!" call Mom from outside her room.

"Yes, Mom."

"So there's your friend here, saying this to you," while thrusting a box with a red ribbon over it.

"When Ma? Who?" dini asked curiously.

"So when you came out with Andi, I didn't know who, either,"

"What men are women Ma'am?"

"Male, your girlfriend?"

"Mother is there, I don't have a boyfriend" Dini replied as she walked into her room.

Inside the room, Dini is increasingly curious about the mysterious box, who the sender is and what the contents of the box are, he did not know because all this time there were no men close to Dini except Andi.
