Maybe Hadyan's words were not wrong either. But according to Wake, it's a waste of time. After all, they are still eighth grade Junior High. If it is said still a stinking child. Or better yet said the child piyik, right.

Indeed, all this time Wake up can blend with others. But not too much either. Just some. And, from the observation of the eagle's eyes, Wake also realized that Elsa often stole a look at him.

Not ge-er, really. But it is true that way. And Wake up just returned that look with a smile. Wake up just trying to be polite to others, especially upperclassmen.

A few months before the breakup of third grade, Wake up more often meet with Elsa. Not infrequently, Elsa invites to talk even for a moment. And wake up, he is also comfortable.

Like today. Waking up has finished soccer practice, and deciding to change clothes first. She had not yet gone to the bathroom, Elsa called out to her.

“Hai! After training, huh?” ask Elsa.

“Eh! Yes, it's just finished. What's it gonna take, El?” actually Waking up is not too comfortable calling Elsa by nickname alone. At least Bangun can call with Mba, sister or the others because Elsa is her upperclassman. But because Elsa's asking, so yeah Wake up is just obedient.

“You're coming, right time of farewell?”

“Come, kok. Kan, I paid for his snack time did not come. Kan, hehehe loss..” Elsa responded with a graceful laugh while closing her mouth. It really should be thumbs up like this. Elsa is able to read situations where it should be done and not done.

“Oh! Yes, I want to give you something. Wait a minute.” Elsa immediately reached into the pocket of the Boy Scout skirt she was wearing. Then Elsa handed a bracelet to Bangun.

“Kok, the color is not female, El?” tanya Wake up. Usually, women most like bright and cheerful colors.

“I don't like the same color that looks that way. The simple is more interesting.” Right too, yeah.

“Disposable, yes,” pinta Elsa.

“OK! I wear it now just let's not forget.” Wake up with Elsa's chocolate bracelet. Elsa finally smiled broadly after her gift bracelet was adorably attached to Wake up's wrist.

There is a sense of satisfaction when we see our gifts well received. Especially by people we like. In fact, being happy is that simple.

“Cuit money. Smell-smell candidate manten, nih.” I just grunt hearing the words of Hadyan. Tired of hearing it. Even though the candidate is not bored, anyway. Ehehe...

“Verily envy is a sign of inadequacy. You, have not been able to have a candidate so, now you are envious,”, I said with a mocking smile.

Eat envious, right?

“But! Who is envious. Make no mistake, yes, I have one too. I just haven't told anyone.”

“Emang any of that would really like you?”

“There, lah. The charm of Hadyan Sentosa is not inferior also the same Bangun Hidayatulloh.” Hadyan patted his chest proudly.

“Which woman is unlucky?”

“I have a lot of likes. Means all this time I've been very patient dong, huh?” my many.

“Iyain, bye. Again raw males hit as well,” replied Hadyan kalem.

Hadyan is yes, so. Likes to be unclear as well. But I'm the bodo, right? Haha.

Speaking of Hadyan, I remembered that Hadyan was the first person to tell me not to let go of my loved ones. He can make me that brave.

Although Hadyan was annoying, but she was also the one who was always there when I was confused by this me. Not that I like Hadyan, huh. It's just a sense of pride if I have the most understanding of friends.

About four years ago I woke up separated from Love. Waking up more accustomed to no love. It is as if the absence of Love has been accustomed to Wake up.

Wake up also more and more thinking as his age decreases in this world if not all who are present in his life will forever also participate in it.

In fact, the cat belonging to the front neighbor of the house also left it. Glen—the name of a cool cat belonging to the front neighbor of the house also in the end went away leaving Wake alone.

And Wake up doesn't want to catch up with Glen. He is not ready yet. There are still many sins. Waking up also did not want to be selfish just because it followed Glen to the afterlife.

Hahey! That's because Wake up is still afraid of death. There is still a lot to bring to the workshop he said. Make self-repair first.

Usually also if Wake up is sitting sweetly under the mango tree in front of the house, Bangun will invite Glen to play. But baby, Glen's gone.

If time ago Wake up considered Love evil because it went away and gave him no news at all. Now it is the Wake who feels evil to himself.

A few days after class, Mother Ajeng kept her word to buy a cell phone to wake up. Wake Up Reaction? Not as enthusiastic as the first time asking for a mobile phone to the Mother.

Therefore, after two months Wake up has a new phone he actually does not intend to find out about Love. Waking Up wanted to ask if Love still remembers Waking up, or if Love has more friends than her.

Instead of contacting Cinta, Bangun chose to make her phone ringtone with the sound of the toy phone Love gave her.

But today Waking up looks restless. Wake up afraid to start. Because, he was afraid of the reaction of Love later. Waking up too imagining the reaction of Love forgetting on him.

Mobile number Love was actually Wake up thanks to the mother. But again Waking up was afraid.

After repeatedly drawing and exhaling, Waking finally decided to send a message to Love.

Wake up H

Love, I miss...

I haven't called my fiancee in a few days. Not that I don't want to, but these few days I've been really busy. Understand the bride's deadline.

Although the marriage will be held in a month, but I chose to complete some work that requires high concentration so that before my work leave is not too time-consuming.

My wife-to-be is also funny for me to stroke my chest. Although sometimes he is good it is really good if again happy, he can send the same message three times a day.

Don't forget to eat. Let me think of me again. Ehehe...
