Title: There is Love in the Family

_________________________

I'm Rachma. I am currently 14 years old in 3rd grade Junior High. I have cousins, they're named Anggun and Rhyan. They are the best cousins I have ever had. But, a fight happened to us.

When I was seven years old, Rhyan and I used to play together. He liked me and loved me at the time.

“Rhyan, it turns out playing with you is fun yah”.

“Hehe, you can just Rachma. Uh, like my mom bought something. Let me see” Rhyan said.

Rhyan also saw the groceries he bought, it turns out that the one bought by his mother was ice cream. Rhyan gave me one.

“Nih! I bought you one ice cream Rachma” while giving you ice cream.

“Wah, thank you very much well Rhyan” I replied.

After that we played again, we played chases, hide and seek, and many more. Until we finally had to separate.

“Rhyan let's go home son, it's time we go. Greet your cousin Rachma” Rhyan's mother.

“Rachma, maybe this is farewell for us. I'll see you again Rachma. Don't forget me Dad. I love you” While shedding tears.

Rhyan kissed my forehead and I cried. How sad to see the passing of a loved one. I also tried to strengthen myself so that I could encourage Rhyan so that he would not be sad.

Rhyan and I separated and it will be the most beautiful memory of my life. Although I was only seven years old, it felt like I was already a grown child. See you soon Rhyan.

While I was waiting for Rhyan to return, my parents introduced me to someone he named Anggun. I was 9 years old in 3rd grade. I'm glad to see him. And I wish I could be friends with her forever.

“Hai! I'm Rachma. Whose name?” say me.

“Oh, hi too! My name is Anggun”, he replied.

“It's nice to meet you Anggun. What if we play together?” Ask me.

“Yes, I want to play with you” he replied.

We played together and it will also be a fun experience in my life. After a long time playing we were exhausted. We decided to rest for a while and we talked.

“Rachma, greetings from Rhyan”.

“Apaan the hell you!” Reply firmly.

“Eh, Rhyan likes you. He said you like to play together like we do now. Aye right?” Ask Gracefully.

“Hem... Iya” my answer is short.

“Iya, Rhyan is handsome well. Rich again. When can I get it” said Anggun while looking at the sky.

“It turns out that so far Anggun also likes Rhyan..” Mumbles me in the heart.

“Oh, yes! In school you often get what rank?” Ask Gracefully again.

“Hem, rank one. Sometimes I also get a top ten ranking. You?” My answer.

“Oh, you're smart. In school I rarely get a ranking. Even now I don't go to class. Hehe. I prefer to play with men. Sometimes in the heart it feels deh-degan.” said Anggun.

“Oh. Well can talk about love. But don't overdo it, we're still kids. How to know about love. You have to prioritize achievement first. OK!” My answer.

After a long rest. We were told by our parents to eat together and I still do not understand how the feelings and thoughts are in Anggun at this time. I just want to move forward and do my best for the future.

The days have passed, it is time for me to part with Anggun.

“Anggun, I'm sorry, I have to go now, I hope we have plenty of time to be together again” I said, shedding tears.

“Iya Rachma, don't forget me well. My Cousin..” Anggun Reply.

My family and I got into the car and got ready to go home and these memories will always be in my heart even for a moment.

Not felt already, I was 14 years old in 3rd grade Junior High. Finally, I met my old cousin the memories I had been waiting for all this time, Rhyan and Anggun. They came together at my grandmother's. We talked together there.

“Rachma!” Shouted Gracefully, then hugged me.

“Anggun!” While returning his embrace.

“I miss you so much, we haven't played in a long time. You are now more beautiful aja” said Anggun.

“Hehe, yes I miss too. You can just”, I replied.

I saw Rhyan sitting in front of the TV he just saw me passing by instead of looking at the TV. My heart skipped a beat constantly as she looked at me.

While in my room and Anggun conversed secretly. I don't know what the purpose is but this is obviously important information.

“You didn't talk to Rhyan?” He answered while holding my hand while sitting on the bed.

“Eh, why not? I'll talk to him when something matters.” My answer.

“You're always just like working on a problem, a feat only. Once in a while relax” says Anggun.

“Iya, yes. I'm trying to. Why don't you talk to Rhyan?” Ask me.

“Ah, I've talked to her a lot, now it's your turn. Uh know not! When in the car my hand is held still the same Rhyan. He is romantic yah!” Graceful Stories.

I just looked down and felt sad in my heart, it turned out that Grace was already further away from me. He really knows how to get along. To the point of bringing it to Rhyan's heart.

“Anggun, actually today I want to tell Rhyan how I feel if I like him. I've liked it since I was a kid. I can't stand this feeling anymore” said I.

“Yes for Rachma! You are crazy, yeah. Rhyan's your cousin where maybe you're dating him. Weirdo!” Chirps Anggun.

“Oh, sorry. Yes, you are right, I am a khilaf Anggun. I canceled that plan” I replied.

I am getting saddened to hear the mockery of Anggun. The plan I had long planned had been destroyed in words.

A few hours had passed, my family and I were planning to visit a beautiful park in a city. I went with my parents in the car while Anggun and Rhyan remained one car as Anggun told me.

Once there I saw Anggun and Rhyan sitting together in the garden and I overheard their conversation.

“Rhyan, I like you. I've liked you since I was a kid. You're handsome, nice, shrewd and well.. Such is. Will you be my girlfriend?” gracefully said.

“That's Graceful. Those are beautiful words I've heard. Yes, you will be my girlfriend. Even though we are cousins and family. I'm still accepting you.” Answer Rhyan.

They both hugged. By Allah! I didn't know what I was seeing. My own cousin broke the words he said a few hours ago. My loved ones were taken by my own cousins a long time ago, it hurts. So hurt.

I took a walk in the garden and stopped the tears that flooded my cheeks. I think too much about science and matter and I've forgotten what love is. And I know what love really means.

Done it.
