Space Rainbow

Debate about the rich vs. the poor..

Spacewalk

We were in the parking lot of Borobudur Temple.

This is the second time I visited here, the first time when I was in 8th grade Junior High.

Located on the island of Java, this magnificent Borobudur temple is the largest Buddhist monument in the world, an ancient site widely regarded as one of the seven wonders of the world.

The temple stands majestically on a hilltop overlooking lush green fields and distant hills.

Built in the 9th century during the reign of the Syailendra dynasty, the temple design in Gupta architecture reflects Indian influence in the region, but there are enough scenes and original elements combined to make Borobudur unique to Indonesia.

"Ma Shaa Allah... It turns out that it is broad too.. " She looked around, after we got in front of the temple.

"Prepare tired Pel.. Looky! the stairs are a lot too! " Peloteh Wulan, his friend Pela.

I just pulled the corner of my lips thin, since I heard a lot of conversation between two women in front of me that made me a little entertained.

"Try guessing Pel.. How many steps up the stairs? may we count! " Seloroh Wulan, walking up the steps.

"Just a minute.I saw in the gugel first! " Pela reached into her device in the bag.

"Eh. can't see.no guessing or you mah! "

"Haha.. Abis no work really count the number of stairs! "She chuckles.

I also chuckled to myself.

"Well, I'm curious.. Abis first when there was a school study tour.I did not come, mama I did not have money ceunah.. Mending his money to buy a book or a uniform."

"I'm the same Lan.. Kasian mom, even I don't say every time there's a study tour.biss a thought! "

"Hm.. Good thing I'm a good kid. Never a macem. "

"You're thirsty, aren't you Lan? Sit down yuk..Don't walk up to the top.." Bring Pela.

"That's thirst.. Hhh.. "

He reached 2 bottles of mineral water from his bag, thrusting one of them at me and the other at Wulan.

"More.. " Said, without further ado.

"Thank you.. " I reached for the bottle, but my net was fixed on something reminiscent of a good memory.

Turns out, you're still using that heart keychain mop..

Feeling my gaze fixed on her bag, Pela turned around, and quickly closed her bag.

"This is the first step Pel.. What is the name of the undakan I forgot? asa's been studying tea.." Wulan circulated her gaze, staring one by one at the statue in front of her.

"Kamadatu..The lower part of the temple symbolizes the lower realms, depicting human behavior that is still bound by worldly passions." I answered the question Wulan asked.

And Wulan is also bearded.

"Yuk.. We go up again! " Take Wulan, but I give a signal so that me and Pela can talk alone.

"Eh wait tight, I want pictures first around this.. You want to go with Pel? "

"Ngga akh. so you're Lan.. I'm hot, I want to sit here.. " Remove the Sailor.

Fortunately, Wulan understood my gesture. He walked over and started taking selfies.

Without hesitation, I approached and sat down next to Pela. While sipping the mineral water that was given by him.

Until it was almost half over, I cleared my throat to melt the awkward atmosphere between us.

"Since when.. You wear a Pel hijab? " Task me for pleasantries.

"Since a few days ago.. " The answer is short.

"Mhmmm.. "

"Mhmmm.. Iyeah.. When I came home from prom night, I found you home because I thought you were home. I'm worried because said temen-tenmen, Evelyn thud you into the pool..I'm afraid you why-why when you get angry at the rooftop, you just go that way without hearing my explanation.."

"That's.. L'm.. That time I was emotional, I was sprained by you! heartache knows.. In the so-called rich bet! especially my own friend! " Pela tickled.

"Dad I'm sorry Pel.. I was forced, they were forced, or if we were close to childhood. "

"Because you're ashamed of having my rich friends? When you enter High School, you are so cute.. It's never like we don't know! "

"That's because I don't like girls very close, I'm afraid that all girls are like mama.. But it turns out that all this time I was wrong, mamah Mira was not happy living with papa Pel... " I bowed my head, feeling guilty towards Mamah Mira who had taken care of me from the baby.And had been prejudiced badly about her all along.

"You mean? " Pela looked at me with her brownish black irises.

"I'm not Mama Mira's real son, my real mother's name is Kinanti.. Eyang told me all about it when I came home. "

Oblivious, Peta was surprised and flabbergasted, she looked at me with a look of pity.

"Why has he been covering everything from you? "

"I don't know.. What is the real reason. But at that time I was really angry.Papa was married first to Kinanti's mother before marrying Mama Mira.. At the request of Eyang.. "

"Stupid? Business relations and friendship between the family and friends. "

"That match is still there? Not just in the drama or in the drama? " She interrupted.

I just put my shoulders down.

"Hhhh..Socially rich people marry the poor, which is almost impossible. "Chap the Sailor while gulping down his mineral water.

"Why is it possible? If you love each other and are in love, why is it impossible? " I said, staring at the net.

Pela shook her head."Based on the reality of living in any part of the world, there are many differences that make it almost impossible for a rich person to marry a poor person. Differences in the household are natural, but if it is different like heaven and earth, it is difficult to imagine that marriage can be harmonious and lasting until death separates."

"The rich usually have a circle of friends with fellow rich people, at least with the middle class...Because they're united by the same passions and financial capabilities."

"For example.. Rich people will gather in cafes or kongkows in their favorite communities (automotive, sports, music). While the poorest people hang out in front of the alley while snacking on fried food and listening to songs from borrowed guitars."

"How do the rich meet the poor when their circle of association is different? Accidentally meet like in soap opera? Or in Korean dramas and novels? " Speaker again at length.

"I don't think so Pela.. You're too petty to think that way about rich people..Not all rich.." I interrupted disagreeing with his opinion.

"But in reality it's just like that Space..Most rich people lead a lifestyle that is compatible with desire and satisfaction. While the lifestyle of the poor tends to it-that's all in the sense that it will be done tomorrow depending on what is obtained today.You never have.once experience how difficult it is to find money to eat tomorrow? "

"If the rich don't mind going out millions just to learn or channel hobbies easily, then the poor think more about the necessities of life than the lifestyle."

"A person's mindset is more or less determined by education, parenting, and association. Rich people can choose education anywhere as expensive as anything, but poor people don't."

"Modern foster patterns that follow the times are always applied by the rich. Poor people sometimes still hold on to 'parents' word and 'according to custom' in parenting their children."

"Poor people who marry rich people will definitely follow the habits of the rich. At first glance it is delicious because it wants nothing already has money. But having to mingle with the family of the rich is enough to torture the poor because he will always be underestimated and suspected as a treasure dredger. Not to mention he will get a sneer from the environment of the rich association with materialistic accusations."

Hhh..

I let out a long sigh, arguing with Pela is always like this.

I know, the journey of life experienced by him and his family is not as lucky as me.

But you should know Pela..

I accept you for who you are.

I admit, there are so many more beautiful women.. Wealthier.. Fashionable.. Smart Even have a meek attitude and with all their advantages out there.

But you're the only one who can make me feel all kinds of feelings mixed together.

I happy..

Can be found again with you.
