Married With My First Love (Travel Story of Lantern Love And Scintillating)
28.Lantern Graduation
Six months passed again.
This year, Lantern finally left the High School even with a slightly confused heart.
Nothing interesting on the day of graduation.
There was no specific word from his male friend, except for the impression and message that the head of the OSIS had spoken before them.
Daniel, a little disappointed and kept his distance from the lanterns because he heard from Sela that Tera liked other people, today it was like that, too,they do not say hello let alone joke like when they served as chairman and deputy of OSS.
Lanterns that until the end of his High School period still only have Sela as a close friend.
And they will split up after graduation, because Sela will continue her education in the lion country across there.
...*...
..."Right now we're both pathetic, but it's okay to hope, someday we'll be the happiest people." The sela that looked gamang began to spit out her own words, which instead made Lantern smile at her....
..."Sela, you are indeed my most poetic friend, huhahah."...
..."I think I am the most poetic, the kindest and the wisest person you have ever met, pre-Tradania Lantern."...
..."How not most everything, if my friend is the only one."...
They laugh among their merry friends and ask each other for photos of their memories at the end of High School.
It could be that only Lantern and Marsela there are not taking selfies with their classmates.
They will indeed remain that way until the end, remaining a secluded person Lanterna said, even though their future is actually as bright as the sun today.
All of the twelve grade students scattered out of the school building that looked extremely large from the outside.
The lantern stood under the scorching sun in the middle of the field with Sela, looking deeply at the two-story building.
It felt like just yesterday they set foot in there, so without them noticing three years passed so quickly, leaving behind a few memories here.
...*...
..."Raaa, next month I have to go there, you are fine here, this month maybe I will be busy taking care of my needs, so maybe we will rarely see you until I leave later."...
..."Yes Sel, you spirit yes, well there, I did not expect you really do not want to join me in my college later."...
..."Raa, we have to pursue our own dreams, so that we can be successful later, so that we are not ashamed to be friends with anyone again, I believe in you, I believe in you,you will be able to do everything in your new place later."...
..."Aahh I become sad like this Cell, no idea we will be far away, I can not imagine if I go to college later there is no you, Hiks, Lantern as much as you like while continuing to look at the brighter sky....
"Uuhh dear me, here hug,"Selau know exactly the feelings of this friend, in addition to always feeling inferior,Sela also knows that Tera will continue to be alone until anytime,if no one else made him friends first.
...Tera's cries began to subside, Sela invited her to go home soon....
Sela accidentally called her father's taxi, so she could go home with Tera.
They went home together, they fell silent in the back seat without daring to say a word.
Because one sentence was spoken again, Tera's tears came back.
...*...
Up in front of the Gilang house alley, Tera greeted Mr. Sela, and hugged Sela tightly who deliberately came down to hug Tera.
..."Later when my business is done, I'll tell you Ra, we'll play before I leave."...
Tera simply nodded, then turned on foot towards the house where she was hitching a ride.
His eyes were still red from crying earlier, making him have to enter through the door beside so that he could immediately go to his room without meeting his mother first.
He entered his room and immediately threw his body on the bed, without changing his school uniform.
Unsolicited, her eyes fell asleep on their own until the afternoon.
She woke up when she realized her mother was patting her body.
..."Lanterns, want until when you always bring this habit of yours, sleep do not change clothes first."...
..."Sorry mom, I was so sleepy."...
..."What's your graduation day, fun?"...
..."Pretty mom,"...
..."Hehe yes ma'am, because there is nothing at all that ngajak I same Sela make just a photo rame-rame."...
..."But it's the same photo of Sela."...
..."Hehe yes ma'am no kok, I take a shower first yes ma'am, I'm hungry, hehe."...
..."What did you cook earlier, like as usual,hehe, he has taken a bath there, mom wait in the kitchen."...
Her mother left Tera who was preparing to take a bath.
...*...
The lantern lazily stepped into the kitchen even though his stomach had been raging ever since.
Just about to sit in the chair, Gilang who just returned from the campus, was sitting next to him.
..."Haaii, how are you, today you are a graduate yes, congratulations ya."...
Tera just stared at Gilang who was getting more and more handsome, maybe because he was no longer wearing a school uniform that always made him look stiff while still a high school student.
..."Well mas Gilang."...
She answered briefly as usual when greeted by her brother.
They sat down and ate together, without any conversation at all.
Lanterns began to feel embarrassed if they had to invite Gilang to speak first.
..."I'm ahead."Finish first and go first from there....
Tera nodded.
He was still sitting there even though his plate was empty.
Look at the empty chair beside him.
'Yaampun mas Gilang, how can I forget you, if you get more and more handsome rich like that.'Inner Tera.
Afraid of imagining too much he hit his eel, then stood up and washed the dishes before returning to his room.
...*...
In his room, he opened his blue book that he had not touched for a long time.
One year later, he was always busy studying because he had sat on the last bench in his High School.
On the day of his graduation, he reopened the blue book that had been left with a few blank sheets of paper.
"Sir, how are you, I'm sorry sir, I've been busy lately, until I forgot the news of the father, oh yes you know, if today I have graduated high school, now I am an adult sir, sir,but still can not say yes sir the same person I like if I like him, father next year I have to kegegeri ginseng, who will take care of mother here sir? I want to invite my mother to come with me, but have not been invited to also refuse first, hehehe, my father hope you still take care of your mother from up there.
"sorry me too sir, because for now, I can't be happy with mom, I can't do anything either, but I never stop hoping after I graduate college later, too,I can love mom something that fits my mom's struggle to raise me alone until now.
"Father, what am I supposed to do now?
"I have to go anywhere by myself now, my best friend will soon be out of the country for college."
"I must also try to gather the courage to leave soon where I will go to college."
"Father, teach me to be strong again, teach me how to stay strong against others."
The lantern stopped writing because it could not hold back its tears.
But she didn't want to cry near her mother anymore.
She began to think about her mother's good feelings, if she continued to cry in front of her mother, then to whom she would lean when she wanted to cry.
During this time, he had often found his mother who was crying silently while at work.
Which ultimately makes him have to become more mature again, he no longer wants to make his mother sad because of their life less fortunate.
He closed the book and sat down on the now obsolete sofa.
Staring out of his room, staring at the high fence that surrounds the luxury house that is now increasingly lonely.
