'Hey, hurry down dong. You sleep. It's in front of your house, here. '
'What?'
'No hear, yes! I shouted, you know. '
'Yes ... yes ..., I'm right down,' said Ana.
'What are you doing?'
'Ah…'
'What have you been doing?' repeated Dicka.
'Oh, again ...'
Ana had not been able to continue her words yet, Dicka had interrupted, 'More ngelamunin me, huh? I'm cute. '
'Narcissistic bases!' Ann replied, patting Dicka's back slightly hard.
'Adaaww, sick of tofu!'
'Biarin.'
After talking for a while, Dicka passed. At that moment, Ana did not realize that his father was watching him from behind the curtains.
'An ...'
That voice, Ana thought with surprise ... it turns out father's gone home.
'Yes, father?' Ana asked as she turned to face her father.
'You promised ...'
'Yes.'
'Of course, you will not dodge.'
Ana felt her body limp in an instant. He will never forget his promise to father. Yes, he can no longer avoid it. Will not be able to.
Ana looked at the ceiling in her room. Indeed, there is nothing there. It's just that Ana seemed to see the shadow of the father with her talking in the living room ...
When he got home, Dad was reading a newspaper over coffee. In fact, it is not usually the father came home this afternoon. However, fortunately. Dad can certainly help him.
'Father.
'What is wrong?' my father asked. Not once did he turn to Ana.
'Dad, I need ...'
'Money? How many?'
Father seemed to be able to read Ana's mind.
'Twenty-six million.'
Father did not react or show emotion. Ana became frightened.
'What for?' Finally my father said after a long silence. Ana waited tensely.
'Make my friend.'
'That is all? Ana, listen. Dad will not help your friend if you do not give the father a reasonable excuse. '
Ana gives up. He had no choice. Only father can help him.
'An, avoid him.'
'But, dad ...' Ana protested, 'she has helped me.'
'Yes, father has heard,' replied the father firmly, 'Who was your friend's name?'
'Dicka.'
'Daddy felt you did not fit in with him. He just wants to use you. You do not belong with him.
'Dad know what about me? There is no. Dad does not understand me. I also never knew who the real father was, "Ana complained in a hoarse voice. Holding tears that want to flow down with difficulty.
'Then father can not help him either ...'
'Dad ...' Missing is the only hope. Ana knew Dicka was not a rich kid's son. After all, his dad was on duty for a few months and it seemed impossible to reach him.
'... unless you accept the terms of the father.'
Hope Ana again bounced back.
'What?' Ana asked with enthusiasm.
'You can not meet him. In four months you will go to college, and will not see him again. So, get everything done from now, 'asserted the father.
'Yes, father. I promise.'
Do I have another choice? thought Ana.
'Dad knows you're grown up.'
Ana did not understand what his father was saying.
Now, only one month left. Ana has not said anything to Dicka yet. He's still confused. What reaction will Dicka show later? Sad or just calm?
Why do I think he will be sad? We're just regular friends. For a moment he must have forgotten me, she thought.
'What are you doing, anyway?'
'I'm serious, Ka.'
'Yeah. Then…'
'I will go…'
'Gee, I'm going to have to tell you. Do not forget the souvenirs, yes. '
Ana's heart hesitated. Say it or not? He was not given a chance twice.
After a sigh, Ana said, 'Ka, I'm leaving in a month. So maybe we will not meet again after that. '
'What for?'
'Lecture,' Ana replied simply.
Dicka was stunned. Then he said, 'Oh, good-bye. You will be a student, dong. You're smart, not like me. '
Ana felt sad. Dicka too. However, they do not want to show their feelings honestly.
'I do not mean ...'
'Let's call it a night. I'm leaving, 'said Dicka. She did not want Ana to know if she really needed it. Always need Ana's presence. Always! Always! And always! At this moment, he can not bear having to deal with Ana any longer.
'Wait…'
'What?'
'Nothing.'
Let this feeling of love remain in my heart, Ana thought.
When he got home, Dicka blamed himself.
'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! You stupid Dicka. Why did not I notice? ' he said, pounding his head with his hands, 'there are many marks shown by Ana. Is it all too late now? '
Dicka recalled their strange encounter. Ana who helped her while at a stall, in the racecourse. She smiled to herself.
Ana is always looking after her, encouraging her, and always supporting her. He is the friend who is always there by his side. Unlike other people who just claimed to be friends in the moment just love it.
Dicka still remembers when Ana once said, 'God is there. He is always by our side. We are given a health that is priceless. Many rich people are sickly, you know. So what's their treasure? Ka, you do not damage yourself, yes. What for? It will not do any good. Your actions will be troublesome to others. '
Then Ana tapped her shoulder lightly.
Right now, he's going away from Dicka life, maybe forever. He did not know to be sad or laugh. Apparently, God is happy to play with him. If Ana does not exist, what about her?
'Do I feel good when he leaves? No.'
I do not know since when, Dicka stop playing girls and drinking. Ana has colored her life. Then, will he just lose it?
Why did he realize what a person means when he almost loses? Is it love? Love is not fulfilled by lust.
The next day, Dicka rushes to meet Ana.
'Why, why your eyes?'
'Ah, it's okay. I can not sleep all night. '
'What are you thinking about until you can not sleep?'
'Thinking about you.'
'Hah?'
'I love you, An.'
'Wait! Wait a minute.'
'What?'
'You mean?'
'I mean, I really love you. Would you be…'
Ana, of course, was horrified to hear it.
'What is this? Why all of a sudden? '
'Your answer?'
'Ka, you have a fever, yes.'
'Your answer?'
Ana actually wanted to say 'yes', but again the words of his father penetrated into his mind.
'Sorry I can not.'
'Why? Do not you love me too? '
Ana's heart was completely dislodged from its place. Since when did Dicka know? Now, there's no point in lying.
'Yes, I do love you,' said Ana bitterly.
'Then what's the problem? We can still meet you when you come home. '
'... but I promised my dad,' said Ana, 'if dad would give me twenty-six million ...'
Ana surprised himself. What had he said? But fortunately Dicka could not have known about it.
'So, you're the one ... Tell me, An. What are you doing? I do not need your help. '
Dicka looked as shocked as Ana.
'Ka, I'm scared. I have no other way. I do not want to lose you. Well, at least I can see you to this day, 'Ana said as she tried to smile, though at that time she wanted to cry.
Actually, Dicka wanted to hug Ana and whisper the words that everything would be all right. However, it turns out he's just stuck in his place, until Ana says, 'Tomorrow I'm leaving.'
'That fast?' asked Dicka in surprise.
'Yes, my departure is accelerated one week.'
Silence.
A moment later, 'So forget me.'
When she said it, her heart was slashed in a pit. It feels very poignant.
'Yes, if you are my destiny, someday, sometime, somewhere, we will meet again. And I will not forget you. '
Dicka really understood that he could not be suitable for Ana. He is too tall to reach.
Ana looks around. His feelings say that Dicka is nearby, looking at him.
'What do you see? Hurry up! '
'Yes, father.'
'An, come on!' cried his mother.
Ana hurried into the car. Again, circulated his views. Suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the figure of someone standing behind the dense trees.
Dicka was looking at the car ... as if he wanted to pierce the dark glass of the car to look at Ana. And Ana was anxious to run to her, but by then the car was speeding away from the yard.
Forgive me, you will always be stored in my heart, Ana thought ... after what we experienced together.
Away from Ana, Dicka's life became chaotic and hollow. He ignored his friends who mengajakanya race. He does not want anything. She just wants to be with Ana. His smile, his eyes, his voice, everything. Why is she tormented like this?
Yes, he had to end it all.
When he opened his eyes, Dicka was already in the hospital. And, his father was nodding off beside him. Waiting for him? Then, since when did father come home? And why did not he remember what happened to him. Dicka was alone. It was like he had just woken up from a long sleep.
'The bottom of the child does not know himself. Why do not you come home? " his father shouted.
'Sir, please calm down,' said one of the nurses.
'Sorry,' Dad replied, without reducing the volume.
'Why me?' asked Dicka confused.
'You should have asked. Why did you do it? '
'Do what?'
'Look at your hands,' Dad replied with annoyance.
And, when he saw the bandage in his hand, Dicka remembered all of it again. All the problems that stacked in his mind, until he decided to ...
'What's Daddy nolong Dicka everything?' he protested, 'I want to die. I'm too tired ... '
Plaque! A slap landed on Dicka's cheek.
'Father.
His father was no longer concerned about the shocked look around them.
'But would not you rather if I disappeared forever?'
'Dicka, you're the only one belonging to the father in the world. How dad can live without you? Father loves you very much, 'said Father, holding Dicka's trembling hand.
'But is not it all ...'
'Sssst ... never mind, son. The issue should not be brought up, "his father said softly.
Since when did you last call him 'kid'? Dicka no longer remembers it.
'Dad admit if all this time the father is wrong for having ignored you. Your father failed. Sorry, son. Dad let you grow alone. '
'Yes! Father is outrageous, willing to win alone ...! '
Dicka did not go on with his words when he saw Dad looking at her blankly.
'Father?'
Suddenly Dad said, 'When you see you, dad always feels he's dealing with her.' And, Dicka saw no pain in my father's eyes.
'Who? Mother?' asked Dicka.
'Do not mention her name again.'
Dicka paused without comment.
Then, he says, 'Daddy does not expect much if you'll forgive him. You've been hurt too much. '
Dicka hesitated. On the one hand, he really wanted to forgive his father, but he still remembered clearly how dad beat him without mercy.
However, he suddenly remembered Ana's words.
'I'm sorry Dicka, too. I've never made Dad feel proud. '
Yes, there must be a second chance for both of us, Dicka thought. And they smiled. A smiling smile.
There was no warm embrace. However, that's when Dicka felt the warmth flowing into his heart. He knows ... one of his happiness has returned. Father loves her, worries her.
'Dad, I'll try to change.'
'Yes, father too.'
From that moment on, Father really proved his words. So also with Dicka. She did not want to upset her father.
