Title: Beautiful Waiting

_________________________

I'm Laura. Just call me Rara. I am 15 years old now. I went to school in Sma Angkasa Jakarta. It was at this school that I understood the meaning of friendship and affection. Everyone loves the pain I have experienced at this school. I have a close friend named Radit. Radit was the perfect man for me. He has many shortcomings. But my love covers all its flaws. Until I can't see the flaws. Radit's strengthening me when I'm in trouble. And so it's the opposite. Every day, my BB is full of BBM from her.

Stay on class rise. I really hope that the results of my rapping require me to enter the IPA. Because Radit promised me I'd be in an IPA, there would be something. And it turns out my hope was realized. I succeeded in realizing Radit's wish. I successfully entered IPA. Very happy to be in class again with Radit. But the response from Radit was not good. When I promised, Radit answered 'not yet'. I try to understand and wait until the time comes.

Every BBM from Radit can always make me smile and laugh. Radit made my days more meaningful. My loneliness is filled with Radit in my life.

One day, there was a 3rd person in our relationship. Name's Bella. Bella is Radit's childhood friend. To my knowledge, Bella has loved Radit for a long time. But Radit never chose Bella. Bella still loves Radit. It started when I found out that Radit BBMan was Bella. And Bella admits that she likes Radit. It makes me very emotional. Understand the name is dear there must be a sense of jealousy. I'm the same Radit is not a couple. But I love Radit. I was too scared to lose him.

After the incident passed, the atmosphere began to cool. My closeness to Radit is starting to improve. Radit said 'I know Bella liked me a long time ago, but you're calm, I just can't help her'. Those words made me much calmer. Now I'm not afraid I'll lose Radit.

My days are filled again with the presence of Radit. His great attention made me unprepared to lose it. But on tau nah? Even though at BBM I am very familiar Radit, honestly if in the real world we are like people who do not know each other. I'm the same Radit rarely talks together. Though we are 1 class. when we meet, most only the lyrics doang. From heart to heart (hahahaha).

I always tell my mom about Radit. And it turns out my mom supports my relationship with Radit. Because since I was with Radit, there's been a lot of good changes in me.

Once, something happened between me and Radit. Suddenly Radit BBM, 'you don't like me?'. And I kept saying, 'not like it but baby'. That night I was really confused about Radit. I don't know why Radit suddenly asked that. After I reply so, Radit immediately replied 'we are victorious aja ya'. And I said, 'why is that?'. Radit replied, 'our power doesn't match, my friends don't agree that I'm with you'. That night was Sunday night. I was made to cry with Radit. I'm still not sure of the reason. That night I also BBM his close friend Radit. It turns out my guess is right. That's not the real reason. Turns out that night Radit really hoped I would come to his friend's birthday party. But I didn't come because on the same night, I had an event at the church. I could not be absent from the church because at that time my presence was needed.

I went back to living my days without Radit. I can't do it without Radit, but I believe I'm strong. Physically I was very close to Radit, because Radit 1 class with me. But emotionally, Radit is so far away, even farther away than before.

Before graduating from High School, the school held a tourist event to Bali. And that's when a miracle happened.

That night, Radit came to see me in the park near the hotel where we were staying. It was the last night of Angkasa High School tour in Bali. For a few minutes, Radit and I just sat there and stayed. Maybe Radit was confused what to say. After a long time we just kept quiet, Radit finally started the conversation, 'Sorry ya Raaa' said Radit. 'sorry why Dit? You are not wrong, I replied. My heart started beating much faster than usual. 'Sorry I've wasted you' said Radit. 'no papa, I understand' I replied with a smile. 'Ra, I honestly still love you. I've been waiting for you for 3 years. Do you know why I have never heard of you again? That's because you once said you were committed to not dating before graduating high school. I'm afraid you'll break your commitment. That's why I'm trying to wait for you Radit explained. I just shut up and look down. 'look at my eyes Ra. I no longer lie. I promise I'll always be there for you' Radit explained again. 'continue how should I be Dit?' I said, 'want you to be my dear?' asked Radit. 'hemmm' I thought for a moment. 'you don't have to answer now Kok Ra, we haven't graduated (heheheh). I promised you there would be something if you went to IPA? This is my promise. It's time. I'm waiting for your answer on graduation Ra' Radit said. And I just answered with a smile.

Arrive at the graduation announcement. And the results I got were very satisfying, and so was Radit. In the crowd, Radit suddenly came to me. 'Laura, please be mine' Radit said pleading. 'sorry Dit, but this is not the time' I replied with a sad face. 'why Ra? Do you have anything else?' tanya Radit also with a very sad face. 'haha don't be serious it dong, relax aja (hehe). Meeting you is a miracle and having you is a fortune. (while holding Radit's hands), you are the most beautiful gift from God' I said with a smile. 'you're my princess' radit said with a smile and hugged me.

never give up on chasing Cintau.

Because maybe 'HE' is 'True Love'
