NADIRS
Nadir ~ 8 A's
I thought Wira was not serious about what she said to me, that; she would forget Hanin and all her intoxicating love. Honestly, given his track record of Hanin. Given how obsessed he is with Hanin, I am not sure what he told me yesterday, when we went fishing in kuala (river; creek), yesterday.
But if we do not forget; another thing that surprises the human self is a sudden change. Even in the Qur’an explained how the heart of a servant can change easily.
Therefore, I also did not think, if it turns out my friend has been completely cured of the disease of love that had made him senewen it. He has made it through critical, heartbroken times. In return I gave him a gift of a book entitled; 1001 How to Avoid the Same Stupidity―need You know, this book is not available in any bookstore, yet, even in the national library I guarantee there is no―I think the book is very suitable for him.
Accept the book with a low noble smile. His smile broadened from ear to ear as a sail on a boat in the wind. The mane was fluttering, indicating that his heart was at its best. Haiss.. relieved I guess, seeing his maleness back, after a long time immersed in his arrogance.
“Thank you, my friend... from the title of this book, I can see how much you care for me,” he said.
Embrace his shoulders with one arm, I'll take a step, “I'll give you a thousand books like that, for your sake, man!”
That was our conversation, yesterday.
After that, Wira really became a new figure. Like a reborn person. Curly hair is neatly cut, similar to the pieces of Brigadier Car ponggawa. His legs peeled off, because three days after he rose from the slump, Wira unceasingly bathed and rubbed the skin with stones, until it peeled off his skin. Also, the teeth are like boiled corn, become clean white. Days, rubbed with sand and shoe brush―Oi, great it. Miraculously, this friend of mine looks much more handsome, now. Everyone was amazed full of excitement at his new look, it was.
On our first day of school. Wira cancels her desire to move to class IPA A. He wants to stay in IPS B, only. I asked him why, he said it was the best decision. I appreciate that decision.
At recess, Wira asked me to meet her with Hanin in the back-of-class cafeteria. I doubt.
“Don't mess around, man! I don't want to see you as cool as yesterday, terrible as you look, you know!” my protest.
“Calm down, mate...this is the last one, I promise..you're the witness!”.
It was heavy on my heart too, letting her see Hanin, but again I had to trust my friend, “Alright. But, you have to keep your feelings.. Don't you get stuck again!” i'm warning.
“No going!”
Half-dead I persuaded Hanin to go to the Hero, until I had to carry the name of God and the name of Ama-Inaku, to convince him that the Hero would not do anything of the sort.
“I beg you, just this once..Pity my friend!” persuade me, “If you are willing later, I will practice you!”
“OK! But, you better warn him not to do embarrassing things!” Hanin warned.
“OK!” I said.
I brought Hanin to meet Wira in the back-of-class cafeteria. Still at the door, Wira was already smiling, Hanin returned her smile, but was not sincere at all. I started to get nervous seeing the expression of Wira.
He took a fresh rose, whether picked from where. Then give it to Hanin. The girl glared at me. I made up my mind, asking her to accept this one time only.
Hanin shook his head, leaving the perfectly-covered rose floating in front of him. Apparently he really did not want to give hope even a tip of nails to the Hero.
“For what?” said Hanin, jutek for mercy. Very disrespectful of feelings.
“Because this will be my last flower, for you!”
Miraculously, that sentence could come out of the mouth of the Hero.
“Thank you for introducing me with a favor called love. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to love you even if you never reply. Thank you for teaching me how sad my heart is. And more thanks to me because you have how to enjoy it.. So that I can stand before you this time!”.
Oi, oi, mate. It's dead I'm amazed not dumbstruck to hear those great words. Until I realized I was clapping. The students who watched the drama were amazed not playing to hear Wira. The mother canteen until pounding her own handiwork with a swab.
Hanin was glued, silent. Maybe he also tried not to believe that such a great sentence could come out of the mouth of the Hero.
“You should know, I still love you whenever, even if you belong to someone else. From today on, I promise not to bother you again, but I beg you, let me still love you from a distance..” The hero sighed for a while, creating a deep pause, giving an opportunity for the heart of anyone who witnessed the scene to take a deep breath, waiting for the next great sentence.
Wira smiled for a while, then continued, “Walau I know until whenever you will not be able to repay my love...I mafhum, because love does not have to have!”.
Applause suddenly rumbled. Suit-suitan, welcome. The mother of Canteen was in tears, because she had not realized that she was wiping her face with her hands covered with chili pepper. All sided with Wira, that handsome-hearted gentleman. Hanin was hit hard. Confused what to answer. The rose fell out of the hand of the hero, then left the canteen.
“You're great, man. I'm so glad I heard it!” I said, patting Wira on the shoulder.
“Thank you... All this is also because of you, buddy!”
And so, from that day on I was sure that Wira really had come out of her monopoly of subjective feelings. Move On―kata millennial kids.
Since the incident in the canteen, Wira and Hanin slowly become familiar. They began to open the friendship sanctuary. As a good friend to both, especially and most special to Wira, I feel happy. It was one of the many miracles that happened in this story that I built. Often I, Wira, Hanin, Princess, Kalia, and of course Anandra Hanin lover, hang out together in the Impressive Coffee Shop. Build intimacy with each other. Sometimes Anandra also invited her friends from SMKN 1 Pelita Bangsa, introducing us.
So, when it came to the selection of the new OSIS chairman at the school, we agreed to push Hanin forward as a candidate. Hanin refused, but we insisted. Moreover, Wira is ready to be the leader of the winning team.
As a result, through good teamwork. Supported by Hanin's positive popularity in the eyes of the entire school community. Through some slick conspiracies that we ran in the biggest democratic party in Great Generation High School, Hanin was finally elected chairman of OSIS defeated two opponents by a landslide.
I also understand one new thing; the love that builds up in the frame of friendship is much more beautiful than the love of lovers. Because friendships are impressionable, lovers' relationships are sometimes fraught with pretension.
