Flashback starts

It was the first day of entering TK. Many parents wait for their children to go to school on the first day of school. Early in the morning Uta was escorted by the Mamah, but she could not accompany her beloved daughter during school, because she had to go to work.

Uta, who was used to being left by her parents, as usual, no protest came out of her mouth. He who comes from a simple family, inevitably becomes more mature from childhood.

The first day of school certainly made him still confused how to adapt. But the cheerful little Uta was very enthusiastic, with a new friend who was there. A group of girls near the swing can be seen talking to each other. He approached and joined there, trying to listen to the conversation there.

“I have a Barbie doll at home” Said a boy named Ara.

“I also have Barbie with a lot of Barbie clothes at home” Mery continued.

“Kalo I have Barbie doll same fairy doll, very beautiful anyway.” Chirps Rara.

Other children one by one mention their doll collections, as well as their favorite princess cartoons. While Uta just listened with confusion. Uta who comes from a simple family, indeed from childhood does not have many toys, he also never asked a lot to his parents, including toys.

Likewise about the spectacle, he used to watch cartoons at home, only those broadcast on public TV channels broadcast. At that time, on TV there were only Doraemon or Shinchan shows. Even Spongebob Squarepants cartoon, Dora the Explorer was aired on the paid channel at that time. When Uta was small, of course there were not many digital platforms like now. Bump the original or pirated VCD if you want to watch outside of what the TV shows.

Uta's parents who are pioneering life in the capital, certainly do not have the money to pay the cost of pay-TV channels. For the cost of living and the cost of living a day, both parents Uta had to work hard, especially Mamah Celine. Be Uta don't know the barbie cartoon that other kids are talking about right now. What other toys, absolutely no clue in his brain.

“How we play so Princess yuk friend.” Mery's words broke Uta's daydream for a moment. All the children enthusiastically approached, forming a circle facing each other, including Uta.

“Start me first yes, I am Cinderella” Rara said.

“I'm Princess Aurora.” Mery.

“I Rapunzel Yes.” Agnes.

“I Barbie Elina.” Manda.

“I Mermaid Ariel.” Say Ira.

“I'm Princess Jasmine.” Meisya.

“I'm Princess Tiana.” Nelly said

“I Princess Belle.” Nana.

“I'm a Snow White.” Kirana.

All eyes were on Uta who was confused by the figures that one by one the children mentioned. He only knew the girls around his house often mention Barbie, but he did not know the name of the character, let alone the form of Barbie. Uta really does not know at all what to answer.

“What do you want to be?” Ask Rara to Uta, followed by other children who are also waiting for Uta's answer. Stared at all the children, making Uta really confused. He wanted to play, but didn't know what to answer.

“I... I.. I became Barbie.” Uta replied, because that is all she knows. While he did not know at all the name of the character Barbie more specific.

“Barbie what?" Tanya Rara who followed the nod of the other child. Uta saw one by one of those who were waiting for him to answer what.

“I don't know her Barbie name. Barbie is okay.” Uta said confessing.

“Iya right, meaning you become another yes.” Rara said to Uta.

"Yes Barbie is all skinny." Typal Agnes thickens Mery and Rara's speech.

"You play it later. Later if we play who is not the new princess-an you come, are not friends friends?" Mery said again. Hearing that the other child just silently agreed.

Uta could only nod, as she did not know what to answer. If he can't play, how else. He finally just chose to sit on the sidelines, while watching his friends play princess-an. He did not want to force to play together, while he did not know what about the world of barbie and princess.

“Hei why is it here alone? Want to play hide-and-seek?" Ask a boy approaching Uta. The boy also went to school in the same Kindergarten. Uta looked at the boy. White skin with black hair has a very handsome face. Her eyes were sharp like an eagle, yet looked friendly due to her chubby cheeks which exuded a cute side.

"Choose join.” Take the boy once more because Uta was silent. Uta also agreed to join a male friend to play hide and seek together. Uta seemed to laugh a few times as the game went on. After playing together, they get to know each other. That's where Uta knows what the name of the boy who invited her to play hide and seek earlier. Edgars. The boy was named Edgar. Uta was friends with Edgar.

He played with Edgar and other male friends more than his female friends. He felt more comfortable because he could be who he was, because Edgar and other male friends did not discriminate physically or in appearance.

Luckily, Edgar's house was not far from Uta's. About 10 minutes by vehicle. So not infrequently Edgar's parents often pick up and take Uta to school, so that together with his son. Uta and Edgar's parents also became familiar and became friends, because their children attended the same school. They rarely support each other.

Edgar often played to Uta's house, especially playing with Tama, Uta's sister. Understandably Edgar is the only child, so there are no brothers to be invited to play ball or the other.

Playing at Uta's house is always fun for Edgar. Even Edgar called Mamah Celine 'Mamah' as well, just like Uta and Tama. She is also a huge fan of Mamah Celine cuisine. Every time Mamah Celine serves something, Edgar always craves to eat the cuisine. Many times he even added his love.

Since then Uta and Edgar have been inseparable. They always go to the same school. Help each other in anything. Care for each other. It's like a brother himself. And that friendship is well established to this day.
