_________________________

'Today, you will be casting at Plaza Mall' Ms Natasya told the child

'And remember! This time you have to get that role!' Further.

'Yes, Mah'

'August, Mah. Morning, Nisa' Sapa the older sister, Naura.

'By the morning too, Brother' Reply the sister lethargic.

'Morning too, dear'

'Oh yes, Mah. Today, Naura came home tonight huh. You see, the Naura section today is a lot'

'Yes, but don't forget to eat'

'OK, Mah. Yes, Naura left first yes' Reply and say goodbye to Naura.

'Well, don't you have breakfast?' Ask Ms. Natasya.

'No, Mah. Afraid of misfortune' Naura answered while taking a layer of jam bread.

'My dear sister, Brother left first yes' Naura said as she pinched her cheek.

'Iihh.. Sick brother' Grunts the sister.

'Now you're ready, because casting starts at 8'

'Yes, Anisa knows kok' She said directly walking towards her room on the 2nd floor.

The girl's name is Anisa, Anisa Hendrawan. The son of a famous painter named Jaya Widodo. Unfortunately, his father died of a heart attack three years ago. Anisa is the last of two children. Anisa lives with her mother and sister, Naura Hendrawan. Naura Hendarwan is a soap opera artist and model.

Her mother wanted Anisa to be an artist like Naura, her sister. Every time there is a casting, Anisa never absent to follow him. Actually, he did not like acting, he preferred to be a painter, like his father. But his mother always forbade. His mother always said that being a painter does not guarantee a future life. 'By being an artist also does not guarantee life' thought Anisa.

'Papah, Anisa kangen Papah' Anisa embraces her father's photo alm. Did not feel the water droplets flowing on his smooth cheeks.

'Anisa, Hurry!!' Shouted Miss Natasya from downstairs.

'Yes, briefly' Reply Anisa a little loudly, in order to sound down.

Anisa put back the photo of her father and immediately wiped away her tears. Anisa took a garfield bag and put on her favorite shoes.

'Come, Mah' Anisa said while she was near Mamah.

'Loh! Are you wearing this shirt? Which clothes did you buy yesterday?'

'There's no, Mah. In room'

'Now you change the clothes that Mamah bought you yesterday, if you look like this, where there is a director who will choose you'

'But, Mah.' Anisa said cut off.

'There's no buts, now you change. Mom wait for you in the car'

'Yes'

Anisa went back into her room and changed her clothes.

'Well, it's better, ' said Ms. Natasya after Anisa finished changing her clothes. Anisa just gave a small sigh.

'Yes, let's go'

Anisa and Ms. Natasya also left for a casting place in a mall in Jakarta. The streets of the capital are not too jammed, obviously, at this hour people are busy doing activities in the room. It didn't take long, now Anisa and Miss Natasya have arrived at the casting spot. Seen a line of teenagers who were waiting in line to sign up. Natasya's mom immediately registered Anisa. Anisa began to practice her acting. Sometimes he was angry, crying and laughing. Until finally Miss Natasya approached him and gave him a queue number.

'You turn number 124' Natasya said.

'Huh, it's been a long time. We should have come earlier' Desah Anisa.

'Yes, this is also your fault, if only you were faster prepared, surely we could come earlier'

'Yes-iya. Anisa ngerti's'

'Well, Anisa went to the toilet first, yeah'

'Yes! But don't be long'

Actually he did not really go to the toilet, he stepped foot into a shop that sold painting equipment. Anisa sorted out the painting tools that were there. He saw a canvas at the end of which there is a picture of a favorite cartoon character, garfield. Anisa also intends to buy it. After she finished paying for the canvas, Anisa immediately put the canvas in her bag and rushed to where her mother was waiting.

'Sorry Mah, lama' Anisa said.

'You're going anywhere, it's your turn soon!'

'Sorry Mah, there was a small incident' Anisa's lie.

'That's the reason, or don't you buy painting tools again?'

'No, Mah. Anisa was me.' Anisa's speech was cut off.

'For queue number 124 please enter' said a man who is stylish like a woman.

'Anisa's turn, Anisa went there first, Mah' Pamit Anisa.

'Good thing I was called if not? I must have been caught' Inner Anisa.

—

'Where?' Ask Ms. Natasya after Anisa finished casting.

'Don't know yet, Mah. The director said Sunday was announced' Anisa replied.

'Oh yes, you go home with Mang Yudi huh. Mama wants to go straight to the cafe'

'Mang Yudi? Still a long time dong, Mah'

'No, just wait until'

'Huem.. Yes, it is'

'Careful yeah. Remember that! Go straight home'

'Yes, my dear Mom'

'Mamah first yes'

After a long wait, Mang Yudi finally arrived at the door of the Mall. On the way home, Anisa asks Mang Yudi to stop at a painting shop, her subscription.

'Non, how will you get caught?'

'Wouldn't get caught while Mang Yudi kept his mouth shut'

'Yes, it is, Mang. I'm going inside first, Mang wait here'

'Yes, Non'

Anisa immediately entered the store. He bought watercolors with some colors, paper to paint and a place for watercolors.

'Road, Mang' Anisa said, when she got in the car.

'Astaghfirulloh, No. Ngagetin aja'

'Hehe.. Sorry, Mang'

'Oh yes, Mang. I'll go to the hills first'

'But the madam said, Non has to go straight home'

'Mang Yudi is calm, you won't know'

'But, Non…'

'Oh, Mang Yudi. Anisa promised, go home before you go home'

'Yes, it's deh'

'Well, that's dong'

Mang Yudi immediately drove his car to Bukit. Anisa always goes to the Hill to paint, in addition to the good scenery, the hill also holds the memories of Anisa with her father. After arriving, Anisa asks Mang Yudi to leave her. Initially Mang Yudi had refused, but Anisa remained tight. Mang Yudi was forced to follow Anisa's orders. Anisa immediately went down with all her painting equipment. He was looking for a suitable place to paint. After finding a suitable place, he began his painting activities. When Anisa was busy painting, suddenly there was a man approaching her.

'Good painting' Praise the man. Anisa turned her head, then shifted her sitting position away from the man.

'Why stay away?' Ask the man. Anisa shakes.

'What do I look like is a villain who's going to kill you, like in the movies?' Ask the man back. Anisa kept shaking.

'Then why are you afraid?'

'I have to go home, it's late' said Anisa who did not answer the man's question and immediately left the man.

'Wait 'em!! Your painting tools!' Shouted the man. But Anisa kept walking away from the man.

Anisa immediately stopped the taxi. Arriving at home he was stopped by Miss Natasya in front of the main door.

'Where from?' Search Ms. Natasya.

'From the hill' Anisa replied and immediately left Ms. Natasya who was still staring at her sharply.

'Your father hasn't finished talking'

'What else, Mah?' Anisa stopped her steps and turned her head towards Bu Natasya.

'You painted again?'

'Eng.eng..gok really, Mah' Anisa said nervously.

'Don't lie to Mamah'

'I.i.. yes'

'How many times did you say! Painting is useless! Just a waste of time!!!'

'But, Mah! Anisa likes to paint, Anisa wants to be a famous painter rich papah'

'Being a painter does not guarantee your life!!! You see your papah, he's a famous painter! But what did he get? Tribulation!'

'Never bring papah! It's quiet in there, Mah! And does being an artist also guarantee our lives!!!'

'Yes! With you being a cafe artist Mamah so crowded! You see your brother, he became a famous artist he can build his own cafe!! You should be an example of your brother's'

'Brother Naura, Brother Naura keep going!!! Mamah always compares Anisa with sister Naura!! Anisa is different from Naura, Mah! Anisa ya Anisa, sister Naura yes brother Naura!!'

'Get Anisa tired, Anisa wants to rest'

'Anise!! Ansa!!!' Call Miss Natasya, but Anisa keeps walking towards her room.

The next day, the,

It looks like two girls are sitting in the family room, they are busy with their respective activities.

'Bored' Murmured Naura.

'Nis, to the yuk' mall'

'Lazy' Reject Anisa who is still busy reading novels.

'Tumben, you usually get excited if you take you to the mall'

'Anisa again lazy' Reply with a view that is still focused on her novel.

'You're angry with Brother?'

'If not, look at Brother. Brother is talking to you'

'Yes' Anisa turned.

'What's up?' Further.

'Your eyes were puffy, last night you cried?'

'No! Anisa just sleeps less' Anisa's lie.

'Don't lie'

'No, my most beautiful sister. Anisa most unyu this last night didn't cry'

'Hahahaha'

'We go to the hill! Brother hasn't been there for a long time' Bring Naura back. Anisa shakes.

'Please'

'All right, but buy ice cream yah'

'Can't! You're allergic to ice cream'

'Well..! Then avocado juice'' then'

'OK, if necessary the seller can also'

'Also, can you! Later the penjulanya ask marriage with brother's'

'Aish! Older brother must marry the same juice seller'

'Hahahaha'

'That's it, now you're ready'

'Iya-iya' Reply Anisa while poking her sister's chin.

'Anise!!!' Shouted Naura.

'Wleee's'

After finishing getting ready Anisa and Naura set off for the hill with the car that Naura was driving in. Before they head to the hill, Naura stops her car in front of a shop selling painting equipment.

'What are we here for, brother?' Ask Anisa.

'Don't you like to paint?' Instead of answering Naura instead asked Anisa. Anisa did not answer.

'Why silence? Be calm, you will not know if you paint again. Trust the same brother's'

'So if you know, how?'

'Leave it to Brother. Now you go inside, then you find a painting tool like yours, and then we go to the hill'

'real, Brother?'

'Yes my sweetest sister'

'Yes, I went inside first huh, Brother' Naura nodded.

Naura waits for Anisa while playing her i-phone. While Anisa he was busy looking for his painting tools. After a long time of choosing, Anisa finally found painting tools that fit her.

'Udah, Nis?' Naura asked after Anisa got into the car.

'Udah, Brother. Yuk we walk' Naura nodded then turned her car back on and started driving quietly.

—

'The air is very cool' Shouted Naura when he reached the green hill.

'Lebay deh Brother'

'Wild! My brother rarely comes here'

'I'm not too busy, so there's no time to be here'

'By the way since when is there a hut over there?' Point Naura at a hut near a large shady tree with a small river next to it.

'I don't know either, Brother. The power was just made up' deh'

'We go there yuk'

'Lazy ah, Brother'

'Yes already, Brother went there by himself huh' Anisa nodded.

Anisa immediately prepared her painting tools. He began to scratch the color ink on the white paper.

'Anise! it's cold out here! It's cooler than there!' Shouted Naura. Anisa.

'Anisa will be there when she finishes painting!' Reply Anisa with a loud voice anyway, because the distance between them is quite far.

'Oh. okay!'

Anisa continues her work, painting. Out of curiosity Naura approached Anisa who was busy with her painting.

'What the hell painting, Nis? Seriously amat'

'Sister Naura kepo deh'

'Seriously asked Anisa'

'Later you know too'

'Definitely the painting is for Brother huh?'

'Uh 'Ih.. Big brother GR anyway'

'Who do you want to do dong? Don't you have a guy?'

'Cowok? Got no friend, time got a guy'

'You anyway! When did you continue to be traumatized? It happened 2 years ago'

'I don't know either, Brother'

'Sister wants you to go to school again, so you can have friends and girlfriends' Naura said looking at the scenery that has been presented on the hill.

'Without school Anisa can really get a friend and girlfriend'

'Anisa, you can't keep getting rich! You also enjoy your teenage years. Go to the mall with friends, confide in, and date. Not as it is now! To the mall with Brother or not mamah, confide only with Brother. Every working day you are just casting, that too if there is, if there is no reading a novel or confine yourself in the room. Come on, Nis, you have to be excited! Forget your past' said Naura looked at Anisa's nanar who was still busy scraping ink onto the painting paper.

'Anisa can't, sister, the more Anisa forgets the more often the memory returns. Anisa is afraid that if Anisa goes to school again, it will happen again'

'Anisa, not everyone is like them. There are still a lot of good people out there!' Naura was still trying to convince her sister.

'But Anisa was afraid' Anisa stopped her activities.

'You have to be brave, Nisa! Show everyone that you are not weak!'

'OK, Anisa will try'

'Oh, that's dong. That's Brother Sister' Naura said as she ruffled Anisa's bangs.

'Don't mess with dong, brother! So it breaks Omel Anisa while tidying up her bangs.

'Hahaha, yes sorry'

'Oh yeah, thirsty sister' Rengek Anisa held her throat.

'Yes, you wait here, let Brother buyin drink'

'Ready Kak'

Naura immediately went down the hill to buy a drink not far from where Anisa was painting. While Anisa continues her painting activities. Suddenly there was a sound of feet approaching Anisa.

'Silver yet ce..' Anisa's words were cut off. Anisa is shocked, it turns out that person is not her brother.

'You were yesterday, right?' Ask Anisa. He nodded.

'Why are you here?' Ask Anisa back.

'I go to this place often. What are you doing here yourself?'

'You don't see what I'm doing?'

'Painting'

'Then why are you asking? And you know what I'm doing?' Anisa has resumed her activities.

'You've always been this rich huh, the same person you just met?'

'Rich gini? How's it?'

'Taste, judes'

'Cuek? The judes? Sok knows you'

'No! Just talked about, the judges have come out. Oh yes, I know Bhishma, Bhishma Sanjaya. What's your name?'

'Oh, you know my name'

'I think it's important'

'But I don't think it matters'

'Anisa' Call Naura.

'Oh so your name is Anisa, a good name' Bhishma said.

'Oh Brother, why use call my name all the hell' Inner Anisa.

'Who is he?' Naura asked the man next to her sister.

'It doesn't matter who he is, brother. Mending, we go home now. Suddenly Anisa was not in a painting mood' Naura just frowned and remained standing while watching Anisa who was cleaning her painting equipment.

'Come, sister, what are you waiting for, ' Anisa said as she forcefully pulled Naura's hand.

'Yes-yes, but do not take the hand of Big Brother, the juice spilled nih' Anisa also released her hand from the hand of Naura.

'He who?' Naura asked as they were already in the car driving towards their home.

'I don't know who he is either'

'Like him like you'

'Like 'em? Am I not wrong? I don't know him, he doesn't know me' Cetus Anisa.

'But do not have to rent it too, anyways can, love at first sight'

'Yes, what a big brother. Mending Brother focus just the same as driving, later even hit'

'Yes-yes, bring your own, too'

'Birina'

'Oh yeah, what's the painting?' Ask Anisa.

'Oh yes, my brother forgot. How ya?'

'Ahaa.. put it in the papah painting room. It will not be caught'

'Yes, yes too. Yes already, later Anisa put it in the papah' painting room'
