TETTT... The bell rang. All of the students in Senior High School 1 jump out of the class. Hungry and happy face are looked in their face. At the canteen..
Novita : Adel, look at your 3 o’clock direction.
Adel : Ha? What? (confused)
Novita : look again. That (pointing towards Iqbal)
Adel : huh? Iqbal? The man who always thinks he is the most handsome boy in this world?
Novita : that’s the fact, Adel. He is really handsome. Only strange girls won’t be interested in him.
Adel : Oh ya? I’m not really sure about that. Nov, you must know, there are many more handsome men than him. You know, he just relies on his face not his brain (pointing her head)
Novita : Ya,ya. You always said all guys are ugly. Rather than arguing with you, i had better comb my hair
Adel : Nov, nov! Appearance is important, but if the brain is empty, what for???
Novita : whatever!
TETTT.... the bell rang again, signaling the last 2 hours of lesson would begin. Mr. Kin came to XI Science 5 class.
Mr. Kin : Good afternoon, guys.
Students : Good afternoon, sir.
Mr.Kin : Hey! Why your voice is sound weak? Where is your spirit guys? We must keep our spirit although we must learn maths in the last hour. You must be excited too for your national exam. Now, I want you to say HAAAAK!
Adel : HAAAAAK!
Mr.Kin : is this class the student only adel? Where are the others?
Students : HAAAAAK!
Mr.Kin : Good.
Mr.Kin started to explain the matter about “LIMIT”. The most difficult matter in this semester. All of the students look lethargic, except Adel. She seemed very excited and very focus on Mr.Kin’s explanation. BRUUUUUUUUUUK... someone fell off his chair at the back of the class. All of the students laughed loudly
Mr.Kin : What is that? (looking for the sounds)
Algi : (whispering) Bal, Stay cool.
Iqbal : Hmm, nothing sir. Just a techical problem.
Students : (laughing loudly)
Mr. Kin : Ok. That’s enough guys. Now open your book page 111, do exercise 11, number 1-11. Hmm, iqbal, I want you to do number 1 in front of the class.
Iqbal : Ha? Are you serious sir?
Mr.Kin : Yes, of course. Look at my forehead! You can see “serious” on it. Why? Problem?
Iqbal : Yes,sir. I don’t understand.
Mr.Kin : Oh good! If you don’t understand why you just play with your chair, and why don’t you ask me? So, i don’t want any explanation from you, so, stand in front of class. You can sit if you can answer the next question.
Iqbal stoodup in front of class during the maths lesson. He couldn’t answer the questions from Mr.Kin. The bell rang. Math lesson was over and students could go home by then.
Novita : Del, I must go earlier today, is it okay?
Adel : Yes of course. Take care. Bye. (Novita went out the class)
Algi : Adel, you go home with who?
Adel : I am picked up by my mother. Why?
Algi : let’s go home with me. I will take you home, rather than you wait here alone?
Iqbal : Algi, I go home first.
Adel : Hmm, okay then. I call my mother first. (calling). Done. Let’s go.
Algi : Yeah.
After taking Adel home, Algi went to futsal field to meet iqbal who was exercising there. He wanted to tell Iqbal about his feeling and his experience today.
Algi : Bal, you know, i just took adel home. You know, we sat very close to each other. Awww, it’s really really awsome.
Iqbal : So? Should I say wow?
Algi : Ish. Oh ya, bal, i want to ask. Why do you always look so cool like that to adel?
Iqbal : Me? Are you serious? She just looks like she doesn’t like me anymore. She is strange.
Algi : But, are you sure that you have no feeling to her?
Iqbal : Absolutely, no.
Algi : okay, good then. Haha. So, now, can i have feeling to her?
Iqbal : There is a ban? Is she mine? I will never love her. She’s weird.
Algi : I’ll keep your words. Watch out if you have the feel to her, i will..
Iqbal : Yes, Algi. I will not have any kind of feel to her. I must have an exercise again. Bye.
Iqbal soon left Algi and continued his futsal game. While algi, he left the field and went home. Meanwhile in adel’s house...
Novita : Adel, are you serious you don’t have any slight feelings with Iqbal? He’s handsome, He’s cool. He’s perfect.
Adel : Hmm, don’t forget empty brain.
Novita : He is just lack of knowledge, not empty brained, Adel.
Adel : Ya ya ya, whatever. I never like a man like that. He is not my type.
Novita : Hahaha, good. My rival is less. Adel, if you ever have the same feel like i feel to Iqbal, I don’t know what to tell you a friend or not.
Adel : Yes, Novita. i promise.
The days turned to night. Adel pensived in her bed. She thought of the Novita’s words.
Adel : no,no,no. I don’t have any feeling to him. He is not my type. Ah, i don’t care.
That day, 29 July 2012 was Adel 17th birthday. She didn’t celebrate her birthday like other students. In the class, almost the students congratulated Adel, except Iqbal. Adel was busy to reply all the congratulations given to her.
Algi : Adel, this rose for you. Happy birthday.
Adel : Thank you Algi.
Algi : Hmmm, Adel, will you be my girlfriend?
Adel rigid silence. She didn’t think Algi would dare to declare his feeling like this. Iqbal who was in the class, immediately went out of the classroom. Novita who was looking to Iqbal, tried to catch him.
Novita : Bal. Jealous?
Iqbal : No.
Novita : Really? I can see it from your face. You are different.
Iqbal : oh ya? You really make me mad, you know! (leaving Novita)
The bell signed if the lesson over . Novita soon said goodbye to Adel because she had another business. In the class, there were just Adel and Iqbal.
Iqbal : Did you accept Algi?
Adel : ha? Is that your business?
Iqbal : hmm, sorry. Oh yeah, Happy birthday adel. Here is something for you.
Adel : Thankyou. (receiving iqbal’s present)
Suddenly, novita came into the class. She wanted to take her book which was left in her desk. But..
Novita : Adel? Iqbal?
Adel : Nov, Listen!
Novita : Enough del. You are hypocrite. You said you didn’t like him, but what is the reality? You’re a betrayer. Don’t ever call me again. From now on, we are not friends anymore. I hate you. (left the classroom)
Adel : Nov.. (trying to catch)
Iqbal : Del..
Adel : it’s because of you! Never do like this again. You’re ruining my friendship. I hate you.
Iqbal : But...
Adel : (taking the bag and left the classroom)
In the evening, adel tried contacting Novita. She tried to send messages, and no response. Call, no answers. Adel started to take the photo albums in her cupboard.
Adel : Nov, I’m sorry. I miss you, novita (crying)
It’s already one week Adel and Novita didn’t greet each other. One day, while in the classroom there were only adel and Novita. Adel tried to approach her, but, she still dodged. Adel left alone in the class. Suddenly Iqbal came and he took the chair beside adel.
Iqbal : is she still angry?
Adel : (silence)
Iqbal : I’m sorry adel. Because of me, your friendship has become like this. I promise, i’ll make both of you become together again. (taking adel’s hand)
Algi : Eheemm, Oh ya, yesterday my friend said that he didn’t have any feeling to the girl who i love.
Iqbal : what do you mean?
Algi : just think by yourself.
Iqbal : Algi, what is the meaning?
Algi : Alaaa, iqbal! Please! You said you didn’t have any feeling to her. But what is the fact?
Iqbal : Gi.. Yeah, I used to have no feel to her, but now, yes, I like her. I love her. I don’t know why.
Adel : shut up! I don’t like you, or you. Please don’t add my load.
Adel left Iqbal and Algi at the class. Since that incident, Algi and Iqbal were never seen together again like Novita and Adel. One day, Iqbal went home. On his way, suddenly his motorcycle was stopped by algi.
Iqbal : Algi, what are you doing?
Algi : (sound of whistling)
Suddenly, three men come to iqbal and hit him. He was hurt and Algi just left. Adel who was crossing over that way, immediately helped him.
Adel : are you okay? Get into my car. I will call someone to take your motorcycle
Iqbal : Thankyou.
Adel took Iqbal to his house, and she treated Iqbal’s wound with some ice. After iqbal got better, she went home. After that incident, Iqbal always texted Adel every night. One day at school...
Novita : I heard you already have a relationship with Iqbal. Congratulations! How long? One month? one year? one week? Or more?
Adel : You are wrong nov. I don’t have any kind of relationship with him. Trust me.
Novita : Liar. You’re a liar. Once a liar, you’ll be always a liar (left adel alone)
One night at adel’s house..
Adel : (texting) Stop texting me everynight. I don’t want to have any contact with you again. Please understand, and don’t ask me what’s the reason!
After that text, Iqbal never texted adel anymore. One day, Iqbal saw Novita who was eating with Algi at the canteen.
Iqbal : I want to say something to you, but, not in here.
Novita : just say it in here.
Algi : ya. What? You want to say that you already have a relationship with adel?
Iqbal : it’s not your business, algi. Oh ya, by the way, thank you for the hit. You’re “the best friend” ever.
Algi : (stood up want to hit Iqbal)
Novita : Algi! Stop! Iqbal what do you want to say?
Iqbal : I just want to ask. Are you really the true friend of Adel? If yes, i don’t think so. The true friend, always wants his or her friends to be happy not sad, not like what you have done to Adel. Oh one more thing you must know, feeling is something you can’t force (leaving Algi and Novita)
Novita : Am I wicked? Am i wrong if I am angry if my friend who has already made me disappointed?
Algi : No, you aren’t. They have already made you disappointed. Oh come on cheer up. Let’s go to the class.
Novita just kept thinking about Iqbal’s word. On the way, to the class, Novita saw adel who was sitting under the tree. She wanted to greet adel. Adel started to follow Novita into the classroom. In the classroom...
Adel :nov, i’m sorry. I’m wrong. I don’t want to have this feeling too. It’s not what I want.
Novita : oh ya? Enough del. We’re not friends anymore. Suppose we don’t know each other.
Adel : I don’t want. Adel wants to be with you like we used to be.
Novita : bullshit.
May, 2013. High school is over. Adel and all of the students of Senior High School 1 graduated, and Adel became the best graduate in there. Friendship between Iqbal and Algi returned to normal. Algi already said sorry to Iqbal and he had already confessed to Iqbal he didn’t have any feeling to Adel anymore. One night, in promnight event...
MC : Please welcome our king and queen, Mr. Iqbal and Ms. Adelia. (adel and Iqbal coming) Do you want to say something?
Adel : Yes, I do. Thank you all. I just want to say, in this school i already have found my best friend, Novita. Nov, we’ll always be friends. Although you think i’m not your friend, i still consider you as my best friend. Hmm, one more. I want to say good bye to you, because i’ll continue my study abroad. Don’t forget me as your “bad friend”.
Novita : Adel, I’m sorry. You’re the best friend ever. I love you (hugging adel)
MC : awww, it’s nice. Hmm, from the king, you want to say something?
Iqbal : Yes. Guys, you know, in this school i have already found a girl who can make me fall in love with her. She’s not perfect but, she can make my life perfect. But, I can’t make her become mine. There is a saying, if you love someone with a very, so let her go if it was the best for her. And if she comes back, she will be yours forever. This is for someone who is special and she never changes in my heart.
Since that, novita and adel became friends again. They start from the beginning. About feeling to iqbal, novita hass already forgotten it, and she didn’t have any feeling to him. But, adel didn’t. She still had a feeling to Iqbal, same with Iqbal. But, both Adel and Iqbal didn’t make any mistake anymore. So, they kept their feelings each other.
One night...
Adel : (open message) Love doesn’t have to own each other. Sometimes you must let that love go. Because the true love always wants to make the beloved people happy. :). From : Iqbal, Received: 7 P.M.
moral value : Love doesn’t have to own each other. Sometimes you must let that love
go. Because the true love always wants to make the beloved people happy

GOD IS GOOD
Believe, you will succeed if you always think positively ...
“Grandma, I wanna go,”
Every morning, before I went to school, I always said it to my grandma. My father and my mother had passed away 3 years ago. My life changed, my mother and my mother whom I used to be proud of, suddenly had died in a car accident. Legacy of my parents house was confiscated by the bank to cover the debts of our company.
I lived with my grandmother. Our life was far from perfect. We slept in a small rented. Grandma was the only savior of my live, my parents, my motivator and my friends. She was a good grandma, but sometimes she can make me angry to her.
Every day after school, I always worked part time as a clerk in a book store. My job was just to wait and to count the number of book buyers who come to the store. Salaries at the book store was not too big, Rp20.000,-, enough for our potluck meal with a side dish.
It was 18.00 o’clock. Time to close the shop. Today, i had good news for my grandma, I received my salary.
“work diligently,” said my boss with his arrogant style.
“Yes, boss,” I replied.
After received my salary, I went home. As usual, every walk towards to my house, I would o through a fairly house, which there is always someone waiting for my figure.
“Nino! Come here! I cook the food here,” shouted the woman who was faiting for me.
“oh, bother. I’m going straight home, Gina,” I said.
“You don’t appreciate me,Nino,” she said.
Gina’s face turns into disappointment. Because it’s not good to refuse, I agree with her offer. Mr Rahmat, her father, was sitting in the living room reading a newspaper and drinking a glass of warm coffee. “Sir,” I said with a smile. Mr Rahmat just looked at me and smiled.
Gina is good at cooking. Gina deserves to be a girlfriend. Beautiful, smart, good, great cook, was a woman’s dream man. After finishing my meal, I immediately leave and go home. At home, my grandma was waiting in front of the door. With a sullen face and a high-pitched words my grandma scolded me.
“It’s getting late! Where are you from?” said my grandmother.
“Gina invited me to her house for a dinner,” I said while I took off my shirt and shoes.
“We are poor, but you don’t bother people!” she raised her voice. If I served the words of my grandmother, it would have ended long.
“I wanna take a bath,” I went to the bathroom. Out of the shower and dressed, I opened my book. When I was about to read, the image of Gina’s face always appeared in my mind. I would definitely be a lucky man if I could get Gina. Beautiful,smart,good at cooking, and the important one, she was nice person. When can I make Gina become my girlfriend? I was thinking. Gina... Gina .. oh Gina...
The next day, I started my activity as usual. School and bookstore. To be honest, I was getting bored with my activity. I wanted to be like other teenager who could learn and play freely without the hassle of working for a bite of rice to eat.
Today, it was a different when i through Gina’s house. A big red motorcycle parked in the Gina’s yard. Who is it? I thought. With the fast pace, I was hiding in a place to keep an eye on that bike.
Not take a long time, a black-jacketed man who was about the same age as me, came out from Gina’s house. Gina liked to say a few words to him and she waved to the man. I wanted to ask Gina, but the door was closed. I went home with a sense of disappointment.
Cold of the night felt like a “stab” to my body. I sat in front of the house looking around. My neighbors just returned from their activities. Grandmother suddenly struck me from behind.
“What are you thinking about?” she said.
“I miss my parents. I’m bored with my job,” I replied lightly.
Grandma didn’t say anything. I looked at her face as implied a dejection there. Am I wrong? I thought. “I’m sorry grandma. I didn’t mean to make you sad,”I said breaking the silence.
“Why should you say sorry to me? I’m not useful, it is faie if your uncle and your aunt didn’t consider me. I’m sorry, I can’t make you happy like your parents. I’m sorry to make you work everyday,” she said.
The words of the grandma as a strong bolt of lightning for me. I was stupid. Why did I have to talk like that to grandma? Naturally she could not to work, she should have a happy life now instead of living like this. Regret came back to me.
“Grandma, I promise you. I’ll make you happy like my parents make you happy. One day, I’ll make you proud of me,” I said, while hugging my grandma.
“I don’t want get it from you. I just want you to be happy. Achieve your goals,” she said. I feel like that night I hugged my mother. The night was getting late, grandma and I immediately entered the house and slept.
The next day, I must leave for school. “Grandma, I must go now. Be carefull at home,” I said as I kissed my grandma’s hand. I felt the heat when I was holding my grandma’s hand. I immediately asked,”Are you sick,grandma?”
“I’m okay,” she said. I quickly held my grandma’s forehead. It’s hot. Grandma had a fever. “Grandma, you’re sick, let’s go to the doctor,” I said.
“Do you have the money for medicine? You must go to school now! You’ll be late! I’m fine,” grandma’s voice was suddenly high. The question paused me. “You don’t, do you? So, go to school now. I just need a rest,” she said. With feelings of fear, I left grandma at home. I immediately went to school and the afternoon I went to bookstore.
At around 03.00 P.M, a neighbor came to the shop.
“Your grandma Nino!” said the man. Without asking, I immediately ran to my house.
“Where is my house? Where? All I saw was the fire that had burned my house! My grandma, where is she? Is she save?” i was looking for my grandma in panic.
“She passed away when she was taken to the hospital, Nino. You must be patient,” said a neighbor. The words from my neighbor were like a thunder to me. My grandma, the only person in this world who i have is gone? I ran, ran, and ran. Suddenly, it was rain.
“GOD! YOU’RE STINGY! YOU’RE EVIL!” I shouted. “WHAT FOR I STAY IN THIS WORLD? YOU HAVE ALREADY TAKEN EVERYONE! WHERE IS AFFECTION TO ME?”
I was trying to find a rope, and tied in a tree. When I started to hang myself, the wig was broken. I tried to take the rope and tried to hang myself already 3 times, and all of my effort was failed.
“Hi stupid grandchild. Must you kill yourself? Do you think you’ll go to heaven if you die? Don’t you want to continue the message from your grandma?” suddenly I heard a male voice.
“Who are you?” i asked.
“it doesn’t matter who I am, don’t you want to make your grandma happy? Where is your promise yesterday? Don’t you want to keep your promise to your grandma although she is already died?” he said. “SUCCESS! That’s your promise to your grandma, not dead!” he said.
“How?”
“Positive thinking. Believe in me, success will come if you think positively,” he said. “You must start by assuming all events there must be a silver lining. Your grandma death was not a disaster for you. Trust me your life will be more beautifull than this. Pursue your ambition, make all of people around you happy, especially your grandma,” he said again.
I looked down, thinking about his words. When I wanted to look at him, he disappeared. I looked for him, but he disappeared. I decided to go back to my house and picked up the remains of goods that I could still use. I passed Gina’s house, Gina turned called me and offered me to stay at her home until I could get one.
10 years after the departure of the grandma, and my encounter with the man, my life was different after I learned to think positively. I understood what was that man mean. 1 month after my grandma’s departure i tried to find a new job, and I could get it easy. From the money I got, I decided to make one company for my future. I was already achieved my goals. When i built my company, i always felt that grandma always support me although i couldn’t see her. I thought she was happy now.
Gina has become my wife. We’ve married for 6 years ago. Now, we have one son, his name is Raka. One day ..
“Raka, do you want to become a successful person right?” I asked.
“Sure, dad. I wanna be successful like you,” he answered.
“You want to know, why can I succeed?”
“Yes”
“you must think positively,” I said to him with a smile.
“How can I do like that dad?”
“You must think, God is good. He gives you trials but he also gives you blessings,Raka. You don’t think something bad will happen to you, you must think you’ll get happiness for your life. One more don’t judge someone from the cover,” i said.
God is good. God is not as bad as I thought. He gave me trials but he also gave me blessings. All that I wish now I get. A good family, luxury homes, luxury cars, abundant wealth, all lands everywhere, I already get. I believe in the words of the man even though I didn’t know him. I believe this also because of my promise to my parents, especially to my grandma. To those who had gone and there will always be here, in my heart.
“Grandma, I wanna go,”
Every morning, before I went to school, I always said it to my grandma. My father and my mother had passed away 3 years ago.

“You must think, God is good. He gives you trials but he also gives you blessings,Raka. You don’t think something bad will happen to you, you must think you’ll get happiness for your life. One more don’t judge someone from the cover,” i said.
God is good. God is not as bad as I thought. He gave me trials but he also gave me blessings. All that I wish now I get. A good family, luxury homes, luxury cars, abundant wealth, all lands everywhere, I already get. I believe in the words of the man even though I didn’t know him. I believe this also because of my promise to my parents, especially to my grandma. To those who had gone and there will always be here, in my heart.

Bad Night
About eleven in the evening, Dion returned home from his office. He tried to wake up his wife by ringing door bell, knocked the door, knocked the window, but she was asleep. So he decided to get a ladder from the shed in his garden, and put it to the wall, and began climbing towards the bedroom window. When he tried to open the window, he heard one voice,“I think the window not need cleaning at this time.” He looked down and found one police stood under him.
Dion immediately regretted answering in the way he did, but he said, “I enjoy cleaning windows at night.”
“So do I,” answered the policeman. “I hate to interrupt man when he’s busy working, but would you mind coming with me to the station?"
“Well I’d prefer to stay here,” Dion said. “Mm, you see, I forgotten my key.”
“Your what?” said the police
“MY KEY.” Dion shouted loudly
Fortunately his shouted, can wake up his wife. So his wife opened the door and explain who was Dion, and Dion was safe.
