Sitting on the beach, listening to the waves, the wind blows and no other visitors. There was only Winda and Noel, just alone, silent staring at the sea, listening to the sound of nature, really a very comfortable calm.
At first the two of them sat side by side, but Noel put his head on the lap of Winda, did not react anything, because it was common and reflexively Winda's hand rubbed Noel's hair.
" I'd love to, we keep going like this. Just the two " said Noel.
" Did Brother Noel also feel ? The signs of sister Niko, before leaving us ? I just realized this lately ? Always spend time together preparing food, always capture through photos and there is something to talk about, as if you want to continue to interact with all of us.
Why is it always like that ? We realize those signs, after that guy left ? Stupid me ? Or not our pecan ? " said Winda.
Noel rubbed the cheek of Winda, noel himself was also saddened by the departure of Niko, they were friends longer than Winda, always competing in school lessons and even competing for liking the same girl. Can not be happy, even though the rival left, it feels sad and feels like there is empty space.
" It's not just you being sad and lost (pulling the Winda hair tie) We all feel the same way for Niko. I should be happy, now no one is competing with me, but I am also sad, soon I also have to go to continue college, that means I can't be like this and smell you again" Noel said.
" Sister went to college outside the island ? " ask Winda.
" Hemm, the original plan with Niko but now Niko is replaced by Juan, entering university through a scholarship of achievement" Noel said.
" Oohh so Brother Juan who replaced, right also, dear if not taken, scorched in vain. Means only Kak Rey who studied in the city ? " said Winda.
" That's how. It really pissed me off, just to please that one old man" Noel said grumblingly.
" The old man ? His father Noel means ? " ask Winda.
" Of course, who else. Sometimes I'm so jealous of Niko, her parents never forbid anything, give her complete freedom, never forbid it, trust all her son's choices. Very different from my parents, everything must be in accordance with his orders, sometimes I wonder, I am his son is not it ? " said Noel.
" I think Brother Noel is his son. Try to remember, Brother Noel was a lot of want, must be as he wants, like the pepper maksa, do not accept a rejection and like it at will. Now the properties just match up ? " said Winda plainly.
" You are yes .... " Noel pinched Winda's cheek.
" I'm a real ... ? You guys fit in, proving father and son " said Winda.
Look at each other, smile and then laugh. Noel was happy to see the smile and laughter of Winda again. Wish ? What if laughter and smiles were for him ? If only, her heart was for him too ? Unfortunately, it could only stand on the side, as its friend.

The atmosphere in the school since yesterday is always crowded, because it is the time of MOS for the admission of new students, many activities that OSIS makes, to welcome the younger class, welcoming style, and, even though it is used as a venue for revenge, making strange things under the pretext of strengthening mentally, but it needs to be on the bottom line not bullying.
From the hustle and bustle of activities at school, Winda chose to be alone near the guava tree, he was very lazy to join with other friends.
" Once again, you sit here" said the new Nansi.
" Want to be alone. You join me there, I'm really lazy " said Winda to make excuses.
" I know you're still sad, but we have to remember that many friends love you too. When will you arrive ? Nih ... eat, don't be dumb (hand two lollipops) I'm in the hall first, bye bye" said Nansi.
After Nansi left, a few moments' interval appeared on Shanti in her annoying trademark style, directly sitting next to Winda, unceremoniously taking one lollipop and eating it without permission.
" WEEIII .... !!! Mine, just play eat" said Winda.
" You have two. PELIT AMAT "said Shanti without sin.
" Permit first cake, what cake, this ... !!! " said Winda upset herself.
" You're sad, you're left out by your handsome seniors (little tones), so sit here and on, Ka-si-han. Fortunately I am kind, so come accompany you " said Shanti.
Winda raised his eyebrows next door, really astonished, there is a god-level super PD like this ? Praise yourself kindly. Good heart, like this ? His style of accompanying ? More precisely, come pissed.
" Hottest yes ... ??? Just realized I'm good ... ??? " said Shanti.
" NOOOOO. You're still a bitch as usual " said Winda.
" I told you something. I'm not a mistress but her son. So ... Noel was my brother, we were born from different mothers but had the same father" Shanti suddenly explained without being asked.
Don't ask again ?
Winda's reaction was really very surprised to hear that, whoever it was, would not instantly believe it, how could it be ? The next story is more shocking again, very sad, making anyone will immediately feel pity and pity.
Loving each other but really can not be together, one because opposed by both families, second because of differences in belief, was determined to establish a relationship backstreet, but in the end disbanded as well.
" So, I understand very well, how are you feeling right now ? You should be thankful, God shows you the best way before you go any further. God gave you more time, that you might improve yourself " said Shanti.
" What does that mean ? fix yourself ? " said Winda.
" Stop being greedy, pick just one, don't everything you embrace" said Shanti immediately stood up and left.
Winda was silent looking at the guava tree, seeming to call himself to climb, but realized he was wearing a skirt and immediately canceled his desire.
Suddenly came a man, the eyes of the two met each other, both silent because they were both surprised. Winda soon realized the man was a first-class freshman. At once Winda felt no stranger to this situation. Like ... ???
" Wahh .. Is there a new junior ? What's your name ? " Winda started the conversation.
The man looked nervous, so he was silent. Winda got up from his seat, walked up to the man.
" Navarro, majoring in Catering (reading signage) Already a signature session huh ? Can I see your book ? (forcibly take ) Wahh .. Your book is still empty, there is not a single signature" said Vinda.
" Don't ask Sis, I'm lazy, they're on a strange call, make a song, jog, find flowers, something rumbles. Yes mending me backwards " said Navarro.
As soon as Winda smiled faintly, the words of this new disciple reminded him of the events of one year ago, his words were exactly the same. Meet the duplicate self who is the male version ???.
Winda pulled the pen out of Navarro's pocket, then signed it in the book with his name at once. Seemed a little surprised by the actions of Winda, but just silently watched.
" I signed your book, but instead. Please dong, the guava quotes up there (pointing ) actually I can climb alone, but not, because I am wearing a skirt. Would you ? " said Winda.
Winda looked seriously at Navarro, giving the sign language code to immediately execute his request. Navarro had no other choice, other than following the request of Vinda, immediately climbed and picked some ripe guavas.
" okay. Thank ye. Let's just say we're bartering. Nih (give guava) one guava you can take. It's back there to the hall" said Winda giving the order.
" Sir, are you climbing the bamboo tree ? " tanya Hadi suddenly came.
" No sir, I'm not climbing. Nih the new disciple who climbs "Winda spontaneously points.
" Bener ? You are climbing ? " ask Hadi towards Navarro.
" Yes sir, but told the same brother" Navarro pointed back.
" Winda. You are yes, new child, just play climbing" said Hadi.
" It's okay, sir, he's a guy in pants. Would you like ? This sir, I have two "Winda offers.
" Nahh .. that dong is divided. Already back to the hall, soon will be at the gathering " said Hadi.
" Good sir " answered simultaneously.
Hadi went to step away, little smiling Winda looking from behind, want to ask for a guava, wear a convoluted event ? That's what Linda thinks.
" Wait what else ? Sana returned to the hall "Winda resuscitated her junior.
" Sister Winda didn't follow ? " ask Navarro.
" What ? That MOS is you are not me. Well ... tuch hear (bell sound ) is up, right, the time is " said Winda.
Navarro immediately stepped away from Winda, immediately running towards the hall so that he could gather with his friends on time.
***
When the MOS was over, on the day of the new disciples, officially entered in white-gray uniforms, their faces looking happy, they said, likewise with the friends of Winda who hold a new title as a upperclassman, feel rada songong, every passing called Brother.
" Good morning, Sister Winda "Navarro said hello.
" Morning" said Winda.
Not many of the stale bases of Vinda immediately passed by, because Vinda was never involved when MOS, so many underclassmen did not recognize Vinda, plus again because of the small body posture of Vinda, many people mistakenly think that Winda is also only first class.
Winda looked around the school yard, everything still looked the same, only the residents were a little different, some were leaving and some were coming. Truly reflecting life, nothing is eternal forever, there are times of coming and going, there are meetings and partings, laws of nature, opposites but always paired.
The twists and turns of life in the gray-white period, always viewed as full of color, full of hope, full of challenges, because in those days, we began to seek our identity, our identity, our sense of identity, and our sense of self, start thinking toward adults and do not want to be considered a child again.
Like a rainbow that appears after the rain, so is the Winda now, living his life in school.
