“Sometimes the first met wasn’t named as “love at the first
sight” but in that time you would know how to feel the sense of that meeting.
So love is a treasure.” – PutriMeilinda
Thursday, in school park area.
I pierced to that window, at that time exam have been done. There’s no
announcement for holiday just because we was as the 9th grade so we did the
exam firstly. I was boring, I didn’t know why. I felt that the clock walking
very slowly. My classmates still only talking and enjoy their weird topic. They
forgot that their friend I in here was nauseating to hear it’s topic, yes of
course exactly me. I got from this small chair, then walking outside and I saw
my teacher Miss. DH was busy to set the little newcomers
plants. I thought it’s not really matter to help her then I asked my mates to
accompany me to help miss. DH. Firstly, she didn’t want to do that indeed she’s
very uncommunicative person. I stepped towards the and accosted her. “Morning
Ma’am, I saw there’s so many newcomers plants, right?”. “Yes, because our
school wanted to follow some cleanness’s competition. You gonna help me,
weren’t it? Look! Your juniors were busy to put the pot and fill it with some
flowers.” Said Miss. DH. Directly, I took one plant and with hurried put it
into polibag and fill it with topsoil. Next, we took it into some position that
have deserved. we already knew that our school was one of favorite and mild
school so there was so many students that have high skills, ability and
intellectualism in this school. I turned back from that position into Miss. DH.
A glance, in here the condition was just as same as class, my brain thought. I
saw some boys brought some big flower pot to move and fill it with new plant.
Deliberated, I looked some girls screamed and amazed with the porter pot. “Ewh,
it’s really damned” my heart spoke. Ah girls, they were so easy to be melted
with the guy enchantment. My sarcasm’s thought have stopped. I saw a guy who I
never met before. Was he a new student? Or he never went out of the class?. He
walked forwards miss. DH and asked some question. I didn’t really hear what
they were talking about. Truly, he was really handsome with his own style. My
eyes followed his step and disappear when he got the last class. “Shinta! Hey.
Let’s wash this hand, I felt so dirty” my concentration directly broke up when
ulfa called me with her loud sound. “Wait a minute, did you see the guy?” I
asked. “the guy? Who? There’s so many boys here shinta. Don’t be silly”. “That
boy! He brought the biggest pot” I pointed at him. “Oh I see. Why? You like
him? Haha” ulfalaughed at me. “No, I just amazed and…” ulfa cut my words then
she mocked. “Don’t be a liar Shinta, I know what you feel” ulfa continued her
word. “let’s wash our hand!” I screamed.
After that incident this noon, I thought of who was his name,
his class, and why I so stupid about 3 years I never seen him and of course
when I searched about him the result was nothing. Because that day was the last
day to school before going to National Exam. Then after national exam there
would be long holiday. The conclusion was I really regret. He was nothing for
me but why I so busy to searched about him. Only with the five minutes moment I
must stucked and changed become a detective to analyze every single life about
him.
After some months, I could forget that incident. I could live with my ordinary
life without the big question mark in my brain. As a blackberry’s user,
internet, social media and bbm became my food. So, every second I always
checked my handphone. One day I saw that my bbm contact was so minim then I
asked my friend to promote my pin. At I thought that is just a joke to add
contact. One by one I saw the name, then I found some name with a strange
symbol. It was really weird and I didn’t want to accept it as my contact.
PING!!!
Someone with display DichoDickitaHandoko tried to chat with me. Then I reply
his massage with “yaaa”. He asked about my school, home and so do I. I was very
surprised when he said that he was one of student in my junior high school. But
we didn’t know each other. Next, he always chat me and talking about some
topics that made me interest with him. He was really a humorist with his funny
story. He cared to me like I’m her girlfriend eventhough we’re just in a
“friendzone”.
The day went on, we were still in this simple condition. I know that I really
like him, moreover without any real meeting I can put my heart into the person
who far away. I was afraid, my relationship which failed in the past ghosted me.
Then suddenly he ping!!! me again and asked who was my boyfriend. “I never have
a relationship since 1 year ago” I replayed. He was very surprised and said
“Hmm, I don’t know why every time I chatting with you I feel so comfort, you’re
just like my mother. Truly, I love you even though we never meet before. Will
you like to be my girlfriend?” I didn’t know how to replay this message. I
nervous. I didn’t like his way to shoot me from bbm, so asked him to meet me
gently.
“I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am
loved”- George Eliot
Two days later, we make an engagement to meet in our junior
high school. At 2.00 p.m we must arrived. My school’s bell rang at 13.45 and I
knew that there’s no time to go home and changed my clothes so I went there
with my school uniform. But at that time, the street to go to that school was
so crowded and there’s a traffic jam. I guessed that he would be angry with me
because I came late. After I arrived there, the weather is rainy and every
student have already went home. I didn’t see him. I texted him and there’s no
replay. After five minutes my phone rang and there’s a message from him. “sorry
I can’t wait for you. You’re late and the weather is so cold so I decide to go
home”. I regret with myself. Why I must be so silly to wait for him?. My
uniform have already wet and dirty. My eyes couldn’t stop the tears that came
out from my eyes. Suddenly in my sadness, there’s a boy who stood In front me
and gave a handkerchief to me. I don’t know who his name then he looked at me
deeply. “Are you shintasylvana?” he asked me with a beautiful smile. “Yes, I
am. Who are you?”. “I am the guy who texts you everyday, give you some joke in
the midnight and shot you last night.” He answerd. I looked at his unform and
name tag. Yes he was my boy, Dicho. Then he continued, “hey, Do you want to be
my girlfriend, the girl who looked at me when we’re in the park, setting the
newcomers plant, and hate the girls who screamed at boys?” I was very surprised
and couldn’t say anything. He was the pretty guy. I didn’t replay his words. I
shaked my head which it was the code that I received it as my boyfriend. He
hold my hand and then said, “Don’t cry anymore. We’ll happy ever after just
like our newcomers plant”.
