Only Your Shadow

Keep Smiling

Brian's motor stopped at the amusement park. Dew just silently pecked, he did not know what Brian meant to bring him there. After buying a ticket, Brian invited Dew in but Dew was silent. Because Dew did not respond to his invitation, Brian finally took Dew's hand and entered the amusement park.

While at the amusement park, Brian invites Dew to ride the rides that stimulate adrenaline. Brian's goal is of course so that Dew can forget a little bit of his sadness. After a long time playing, Brian invited Dewun to sit on a park chair. Brian gave a bottle of drink to Dew. Because he felt very thirsty, Dew immediately finished the drink.

"Thank you." The word Dew looked at Brian.

"It's not free." Brian drinks his drink.

"How much do I have to pay?" Dew opened his wallet to take money.

"Stay smiling. Never be sad in front of me." Said Brian looking at the Dew.

Dew smiled and nodded. He felt sincerity in the words - Brian said. He also did not expect, Brian who he thought was cold like a 2-door refrigerator could provide warmth for him.

"It's late afternoon, let's go home." Brian stood up and walked away from the Dew.

Dew also stood up and walked beside Brian.

"How about we play one more ride" Pinta Dewun.

"Ear afternoon. I don't want your mom to worry." Brian refused the Dew request.

The dew is certainly not desperate. He stood in front of Brian and blocked his steps.

"Please, just one time. Yea?" The dew united both of his palms pleading. He also put on a face as sweet as possible.

Brian who is silent - silent has fallen for the Dew certainly can not refuse it.

"Just one." Answer Brian briefly.

Dew happy and jump excited. He immediately pulled the hand of Brian invites to ride the kora - kora rides. Brian was happy to see the Dew coming back cheerful.

When he finished, Brian drove the Dew home. During the journey, the Dew is not stopping - hentinya chattering. It used to be possible that Brian would be upset to hear Dew babbling, but now it's the opposite.

Finally they arrived at the house. It was seen that the mother was waiting at the door. Brian got off the bike and greeted Lastri.

"Sorry aunt, I'm taking Dew until the afternoon." Brian apologized to his mother.

"What's wrongwhat. Next time go home first." Miss Lastri said.

" Yes sorry aunt." Brian lowered. She felt bad for her mother.

"Yes aunty maafin. Auntie also thanks Brian for bringing the Dew safely." Smile of Lastri.

"Same - same aunt. Then I'll say good." Brian said goodbye to Lastri.

"Loh, don't go in yet." Miss Lastri said.

"Next time, aunt. Excuse me." Brian walked away.

"Waalaikum salam." Answer Dew.

"As...Assalamualaikum." Said Brian awkwardly.

Brian got on his bike and left the Dewun house. The dew waved his hand until Brian's motorbike disappeared.

Raka entered his house with a shunt. Actually, he saw the Dew that was delivered home by Brian. As soon as entering the house Raka directly into his room. He lay on his back on his bed looking at the sky - the sky of the room. Right now Raka's mind is really mixed. He looked towards the door when he heard a knock. At that moment his mother came in and sat on the bedside.

"She heard you were new from Vania's house?" Mom started the conversation.

Raka simply answered her mother's question with a nod.

"Raka, mama wants to explain it to you." Said ma Intan.

But Raka just kept quiet. He did not respond to his mother's words. He seems to be busy with his own thoughts.

"We're doing this for the good of both of you." Said ma Intan.

"Raka's tired of ma, Raka wants a break." Raka turned to look back at her mother.

"good. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Bu Intan stroked his son's head and left Raka's room. Ms. Intan knew, Raka must have been shocked to hear her engagement plan. And Raka of course takes her own time to think.

After her mother came out, Raka got up and sat down at her study table. Raka opened her desk drawer and took a photo album. He opened the album sheet by page. Raka smiled at the photos inside. It was an album that contained her photos with Dewun and their families.

Raka looked at the photo of the two with Dewun. It was a photo taken while they were on vacation to the beach. Raka rubbed the photo.

"This might be our last photo of Mbun." Raka said slowly.

Raka closed the photo album and stuffed it back into the desk drawer. He lay back in bed. Raka closed her eyes with her arms. Just then I heard a loud noise.

Raka just realized her feelings. All this time he thought he only thought of Dew as a friend. It turned out that it was more of a best friend and he realized it too late. But will things change if he realizes it long ago. While now he knows, that he had been betrothed to Vania before he knew Dewun.

At the school is now being held mid semester. Many events are organized by the school. In addition to the inter-class competition, there is also a bazaar for charity.

Today is the last day. The school is so crowded, in addition to the bazaar there is also a music stage. The area around the music scene was so crowded. Students are enthusiastic about enjoying music. The screams were even more pronounced when the guest star was a dangdut singer. The students swayed to the rhythm.

"Everything is ready to sway." Ask the singer.

"Ready." Answer them in unison.

Many students are dancing to the rhythm. No exception with Dew. He joined the other students. When the singer invited some students to join the dance on stage, Dewun enthusiastically immediately went up.

On the stage Dew jogged with spirit, even though the movement was splashy and also funny. He also sang when the singer thrust a mic at him, and Dewun sang in a very fitting voice. But it was even an entertainment in itself.

The goddess who saw Dew on the stage, covered her face with a book held in shame. Although already know Dewun from first class, but the magical behavior of his friend is still making him shocked.

Another Goddess with Dion. He was happy to see the dew. He laughed out loud - bahak and busy recording Dew behavior with handycam. While Brian who stood beside Dion, occasionally smiled. He did not take his eyes off the Dew.

Brian stopped smiling when Brian accidentally saw Raka who was staring at the Dew. Brian noticed Raka's deep gaze on the Dew. Looks Raka who looks at Dewun with a view that is difficult to interpret. Brian also clearly saw the sadness on Raka's face. Long enough Brian noticed Raka. Until he finally saw Raka leave from that place.

"Did he like Dew." Inner Brian.
