Title: My Love, My Heart, My All

_________________________

There is a saying that a soul mate will come in time. But, Iyas felt that a soul mate always stayed away from him. How no? 17 Years passed and Iyas had no dating experience. Huh…!!!

'Yes! Canteen yuk?' Asked Reno who knew already sitting next to Iyas. Silence is not in the mood to respond.

'Yes, why the hell?' Reno was astonished. 'Lo's sick, huh?'

Iyas shook his head. 'No, I'm fine.' Iyas's hands crumpled up the diary book before him.

Reno's hand reached for the diary from Iyas's. Sontak Iyas wants to reclaim his diary from Reno. Reno laughs at what Iyas wrote on the first page. 'Fear diary's.. Today I was really upset, I failed candle light dinner with Tom because I swore lemon water on his shirt, Huhh!!'

'How did Tom go? Do you bring dinner again?' ask Reno pretentiously care, but this is just not not a Reno so that it can mocked Iyas.

'Where dare I? Now if you look at me, he hastily ran away.' Iyas was full of annoyance, he lamented his ever-sad fate.

Reno's laughter exploded, apparently Reno couldn't hold back her laughter any longer. 'Iyas, damn your fate, when the hell do you want to do the right thing? Just dinner only you make one guy kapok way same lo.' Reno Ledek.

Of course, these words make Iyas careless. Iyas thought Reno would give him helpful advice. Turns out Reno even mocked him abis-out. 'Still mending me, than you who never ngedate with any girl.' Reply Iyas.

'Eh.. Make no mistake, I have a girl know!' Reno is no less hot than Iyas who is sucked out.

'Where? How come I just heard that you have a girl?' Iyas increasingly intention to lure Reno to show which girl is again in a relationship with Reno.

'Lo look at it, huh? I'll show you as soon as possible.' Reno said with complete confidence. Iyas more sure if Reno is no longer lying, Iyas more curious about the rich what the hell Reno girl.

'Keep you so don't take me to the cafeteria?' ask Iyas later.

'Ah, I want a bell. Yuk class!'

They also entered their own classes.

The last boring lesson. Biology lesson, this lesson seems to be a sleeping drug for many students, whether boring or because the teacher's voice is so melodious that it is able to make students silent, either sleeping or trying to resist sleepiness.

Tett's!! The hour was over, students were scattered out quickly to get home soon. The school hall became a crowded sea of humans.

Beside the gate Iyas was waiting for someone. Reno's? Yep! Exactly, the two of them always went home together. Not long after Reno showed up. As usual, Iyas made a hilarious atmosphere, occasionally Iyas ngocol and made Reno laugh out loud.

The next day Iyas makes an appointment with Reno at a cafe, with the aim of Reno to introduce her to Iyas.

Iyas sat at a table near the entrance. I don't know what makes his heart broken, from earlier his heart continues to pound indeterminate. It's been an hour, but Reno hasn't shown up. Already Iyas thought that if Reno would not come, Reno did not seriously say if he had a girlfriend. Iyas moved from his seat, but Reno's hand prevented him. Beside Reno already stood a beautiful woman with a pink casual dress and elegant make up, this made the woman standing near Reno seem graceful. Iyas could not say anything, he was silent. The atmosphere became silent, no matter what hit Iyas' heart, his virginity suddenly disappeared. His tongue was stiff, his heart was empty, he felt something floating through his mind.

'Heh! Why the hell lo? How quiet is that?' Reno awakens Iyas from the reverie.

'Oh. I'm sorry, I'm kind of speechless. I thought you were lying about your boyfriend.' Iyas tried to find a word. He doesn't want to look stupid in front of Reno and her boyfriend. 'Eh.. sit down yuk?' Reno and her boyfriend sat side by side, while Iyas sat in front of them with an empty stool beside him. Huh!! Ngeny!!

'Yes, I know Nadira, my school is in High School 44. I'm the leader cheer there.' From the talk it looks so bad that Nadira is an important icon in his school.

'Oh. I'm Iyas, I'm a school with Reno.' Iyas speaks his way.

'Lo go with eskul what?' ask Nadira.

'Multimedia, a kind of computer operational. I'm with Reno one eskul.'

Iyas honestly is quite inferior, Nadira that looks perfect, beautiful, graceful. As for him, it is far from being compared to Nadira. 'What? You're with the multimadian escul? Is there nothing better? Rich cheer, ballet, dance. Multimedia period? Which is really.' Nadira seems to be starting to get away with Iyas. Iyas tried to calm down, he did not want to make a mess of the atmosphere.

'Multimedia is also good, I happen to not like dance, dance is out of energy and sweat, so I choose simple multimedia eskul and do not sweat, hehe..'

'Eh. order yuk food!' Reno tried to neutralize the atmosphere. Nadira nodded enthusiastically.

Iyas was just pensive, what exactly kept bothering Iyas' mind? Iyas was silent only a thousand languages, once in a while he smiled looking at the two lovebirds. But, deep down he felt a sense of silence that made him even more depressed.

The longer Iyas was unable to withstand this awkwardness for longer. Iyas wanted to make room for both of them. 'Ren, I unplug ya? Suddenly I got a phone call from nyokap, something important deh kaya.' Iyas pamit's. Actually, it's not a phone call.

'Well, anyways you haven't ordered food already want to unplug it.' Reno prevents Iyas from getting out of his seat. 'Gue anter huh?' reno bargain.

'What the hell? Who's your girl? How do you want to play anther? You should ask me first.' Nadira is less fond of Reno's offer to Iyas.

'Oh, oh, how are you? He's my best friend, I just want to nganter Iyas, is it wrong?'

'But I'm a lo girl. You should price me dong!' Nadira was not accepting.

Iyas stood waiting for the taxi, the cold had reached the bones, Iyas was waiting for almost an hour and not a single taxi had appeared. The sky was gloomy at the same time as Iyas.

—

Iyas pecked beside the school gate, his face so tangled as it stirred up the iron. As usual, he was waiting for Reno here. But, until the school is quiet, Reno has not yet appeared. Iyas began to saturate the pecking alone in front of the gate. Almost as Iyas moved, Reno appeared panting. 'Sorry yes, Yas, Old huh?'

For a moment Iyas was silent. 'Did he go home yuk? It was afternoon.' Said Iyas later.

'Lo's okay, right?'

'What the hell? Yes I am well ajalah. Yes, I went home yuk.'

Reno hasn't moved yet. 'Lo seriously okay?'

'Yes, that's me it's okay. Lo why the hell?'

'It is precisely you who why? Strange, you don't rant because I'm late.'

The next day Reno was sitting alone in the school park, cradling the box she was holding, and suddenly Iyas appeared. 'Yes, look I have something.' Reno showed me the contents of the box she was holding.

'Kalung?' Iyas was in shock, looking at the contents of the box.

'Yeah, you like it? Here let me put it up.' Reno put the necklace around Iyas' neck, the necklace hanging sweetly around his neck.

'Gue likes it.' Praise Iyas, his eyes sparkling with happiness. His body became as light as cotton, he wanted to float so happy.

Reno smile. 'Good if you like, according to lo Nadira.' Reno looked away. Meanwhile, Iyas was like being stabbed while dreaming in broad daylight, suddenly he felt the sky collapse on his body.

'Gue's sure he'll like it!' lead Iyas handed the necklace back to Reno and inched away. Reno was only stunned at Iyas attitude.

The days passed, after that day they never went home together again. Reno is busy with his activities, Iyas is busy with what he is living now, Iyas moved school to Bandung. The more days Reno increasingly lost the figure of Iyas. Iyas is cute, funny, slow but ngangenin. Reno felt like she had lost half her life.

7 Years later, Iyas returned to his routine in Jakarta. He has become a director. This month she is doing a project with a well-known agency.

'This is a film editor that will work with you.' Said the film producer at the agency.

'I hope he can be professional doing his job.' Iyas said without looking. As soon as he turned his head, he fell silent into a thousand languages. Reno! His best friend in High School.

The atmosphere became stiff, not a word came out of their mouths.

'Hey, how are you? You don't seem to be carrying any more, hehe..' Reno tried to warm the atmosphere.

Iyas' body froze, his hands icy cold. 'Ngghh. I'm trying to be an adult.' Answer Iyas.

The atmosphere was silent again, until Reno left. Iyas turned on himself, how stupid was he, what had he been doing all this time? Waiting for a soul mate to approach?

Iyas walked towards the locker listlessly, he continued to grumble. 'Why should he be again? Why should I see him again? When I started to forget why he showed up? Why is he present? Why her?' lament in the heart.

When I opened his locker, Iyas found some items, some photos of him at High School, Iyas was stunned to see the photos, various poses Iyas with eyes without facing the camera made Iyas aware that the photos were taken secretly. On the back of one of the photos it says, 'Sometimes I'm not satisfied just looking at your face.' Some movie CD loan coupons, behind which it says, 'I miss the most right now. When we rented the movie CD.' And a box containing a necklace, and a piece of paper inside that box.

God, god,

if this is a love story why I can't pursue it

God, god,

if I'm his match why can't I catch him

God, god,

is there a rhyme I can reveal to her

'That necklace is for you Iyas, not Nadira.' The sound surprised Iyas. 'The years I've been waiting for, have finally arrived, as much as the rhyme I have might not be able to express my whole feeling. But, I've always been filled with your soul that may be fragile.' Reno said appeared from behind the door.

Iyas looked over, his eyes glazed over. Tears are powerless to contain, for him happiness is now his, now he believes the saying. The soul mate came without her expecting, God has answered her prayer. It turns out that his love, his heart, is all in Reno.
