In a park not far from his home, a young man was waiting on a white bench with the flowers he had bought before leaving. That afternoon many people passed by even though it was just for exercise or a regular walk with family.
From a distance Rey shines her eyes on a little boy who may be the same age as his sister is enjoying her food sitting on the lap of the papa and eating her food greedily. The number of sellers who are there to scavenge sustenance, the park is always crowded visited in the afternoon. Their intention to meet in a crowded place is because they do not want to be alone often, both Rey and Bintang.
Several times the message entered his phone the contents remain the same. The star asks to be waited for as usual the girl is often late when they have an appointment to meet. Even when the two of them were still very close first, the girl was always late and let the man wait continuously.
Rey kept her eyes on all the humans passing by, none of them caught her attention more when she saw the Stars coming, that's the hope she's currently making up for herself. But waiting too long, he still did not find the girl. Very eager to contact, but afraid if the girl is on the road and bring her own vehicle.
An hour later, so many songs had finished playing in the cafe across the street there that his voice was heard up to the park although his voice was still vague because it was lost by the sound of vehicles passing there.
Still in a state of patience, he waited for the presence of the girl.
Rey pulled out her earphones and started playing a song she liked.
I don't know how many songs have ended, he hasn't found the girl to see him yet, whether this time the girl is lying to him.
The next minute, a little boy cried and saw a flower on the long chair where Rey was sitting. The little girl wept over the flower next to Reynand. He could not bear to see a child crying like that, although his parents had tried to calm him, but the flowers brought Rey was much more he wanted.
Rey took a deep breath and finally gave the flower with a smile trying to sincerely so that the child who was being persuaded by his parents did not cry anymore.
"I'm sorry, so taken my same flower. This was for her boyfriend, huh?" said the man made sure. But Rey nodded.
"No, om. That's for my friend on his birthday,"
"I'm sorry again, yeah,"
Rey nodded and waved to the little girl who was grateful for having been given flowers by Reynand.
He wanted to curse himself, waiting without certainty. Waiting without a word the last time the stars say.
Until 6 pm and a few minutes to come adzan magrib reverberated. Rey chose to go home because she had waited so long to meet the Stars.
Chat that time said that they would meet every year there. But in the beginning, the girl had not kept her promise, how about later and so on. Waiting for certainty, but leading to disappointment.
Whose heart does not hurt if it continues to be hung like that.
Rey returns to Oma's house to meet Leo.
After the magrib, he went into Leo's room and chatted there with the man who was like his brother.
"Where are you going, brother? Tumben stopped by?"
"Meet, but she's not even,"
"Because he is his intention to give hope, hang people. And finally make me give up like this,"
"Star, right?" leo made sure. To his knowledge his cousin was close to the Stars even one school knew that they were both so close and many spread rumors that the two were dating. but Rey and Bintang denied that, convincing some who said they were dating, to believe what the two had said.
"Here it is, whatever he wants wherever it is his right. By the way, I'm going to move schools from there because of Mama's will, Papa,"
Leo who had been drinking immediately spouted his drink. "Well, how did you move? If you move, there will be a PR I can not ask brother dong?" lamented Leo.
"Yes your own business, you don't always depend on me" Rey replied. But Leo's face changed instantly.
"If Rey's sister moves, I'm also allowed to move to Mama with Papa,"
"You know what my goal is? People like you will not be at home, especially not be away from Mama,"
"Autside the country?"
"No, let me go to school there. Later if the new lecture there, my goal to the pesantren,"
Leo put down the glass and shook Reynand's shoulder. "Seriously? Om Azka think what try to school sister there?"
"Actually the pesantren is not as bad as you imagine, Leo. It's just a little tight, right. Especially playing hp, we're there focused on learning,"
Leo sat down next to Reynand. "Yes, wherever you go. I'll follow you later with Mama's permission,"
Rey hears her cousin's words, but she is shocked by what Leo says. Because he knows for himself that Leo is a person who does not feel at home if he continues to learn. Especially later in the pesantren he will have many activities.
"Are you really, Leo?"
"Suffering, brother. I want to learn, who knows later can teach Clara or my sister-to-be, as the oldest brother, Rey's brother is my role model. Anywhere Rey goes. I'll come along, even if you're going to the boarding school, I'll stay,"
Rey was amazed by what Leo said. He was also happy to hear his cousin that they will one school later that is in the same boarding school.
Rey's mind again shackled towards the Star who suddenly had no news after she had not met earlier. Whether the girl is okay or not.
"Why do you still think of him? If you can't be trusted like that, Rey shouldn't think of him anymore. It was enough that my sister was disappointed with him,"
"Cuman wondered how he was doing, really. No more than that, I'm trying to care about her, like that,"
"Too care about it will create a lot of trouble. Without you thinking for yourself how you feel, whether you care or not, in reality you are just a person who cares about the feelings of others. Without you caring about your own feelings."
