MOTIVATOR IN MY LIFE

SHORTSTORY-  Silent…. The night was quiet, just accompanied with stars that shine. Just night’s wind that spirit to spent the time. I sat down between the clumps of flower. Last week I passed the national examination in the favorite’s junior high school and I got high score in it. Farah, my bestfriend direct registered me in favorite’s senior high school and followed selection. First, I was pessimistic but by supported from my bestfriend, my spirit came back.

Behind this, there was big secret that I did not know from my bestfriend. And I didn’t know why my bestfriend did it. The divine decree has separated us forever.

One day after announcement of national examination, I direct went to the place where the selection happened in central Jakarta. Many participants filled this built. My bile was short when I saw it but, by supported from my bestfriend made my spirit came back.

Without I knew, farah got cancer’s disease stadium three. That disease could took her life wherever and now she was lying down in the bed. Although this condition, she didn’t tell to me.

When I went to follow test, farah’s disease more dangerous. She could not move her hand and feet. Before she went forever, farah said the last message for her mom. “Mom … now izroil angel have been beside me and the meaning farah will leave mom forever.”

“Farah..Don’t say that. Farah is a gift from god to mom. Don’t leave me Farah…”

“Mom.. Please sincere my journey. Please don’t say if farah died to tiara. But please give letter in my table to her”

5 minutes later, izroil angel took her life with refined. “Farah… Don’t leave me” screamed Farah’s mom.

5 days later, I came back to Bandung. The first home I went pointed at farah’s home because she was my bestfriend and she registered me in selection also I didn’t have parent. My parent died one year ago so I direct went to farah’ home. Then I knocked the door.

#TookTook…”Assalamu’alaikum” said me with happy face and want to told my experience to Farah. Some minutes later, Farah’s mom opened the door.

“Wa’alaikumsallam” said farah’s mom with smile.

“Aunt..Does farah here? I want to meet her” said me with spirit.

“Come in please. Sure you were tired after joined selection “   Farah’s mom invited to sat down in sofa that I considered this is a comfortable sofa in my life.

“Little brain drains. But, although thus, Tiara still spirit.. hehehe”

#What will you still spirit if know that farah…?# throught farah’s mom.

“Aunt, where’s farah? It’s so quiet”

“Read this letter, so you can know by yourself, after you read it” I got letter from farah’s mom. I opened a blue envelope that covered this letter. my heart was shake.

I walked but didn’t know direction. I didn’t know what will I do. Tears straight flew in my cheek.Till I found a garden that was so beautiful. I sat down for along an hour until night. Letter from farah still in my hand.

When I read the letter again, I found same world that I not yet to read.

With cleaned tears and dragged breath long, I determined for didn’t cry and sad again. I didn’t want damage her calm and quiet.
