Winter wind has arrived and blanket the city of Bandung. The wind was blowing a bit tonight. Riska flicked his long hair back so as not to block the view as he hurried down the small lonely road that led to his home. She was shivering because the cold began to pierce her thick sweater. He wanted to get home quickly, and drink a cup of hot chocolate. Just thinking about it already makes the stomach growl. Cold-cold like this is the most delicious ...
"Hey!"
Riska jumped up and spun fast. Her eyes widened staring at the guy with the cropped hair that was standing beside him. Once recognizing the figure as Reno, his neighbor as well as his best friend since childhood, Riska breathed a sigh of relief.
"Reno !!" Riska sighed as he held his chest. "You scared me half to death."
Reno clicked his tongue and grinned. "You are too shocked."
"You know I always feel like I'm walking alone on a lonely road," Riska said. "And I have good reasons for that."
"All right, all right. I am sorry. Come on, quickly. I'm cold, "said Reno as he strode ahead of Riska. "It looks like your luggage is overwhelming. Do you have any more books today? "
Riska pulled two books out of her backpack. Both novels are famous mystery genres. "These two books just came in today, so I'm the first person to read them. Do you want to read it? "He asked Reno who looked at the two books with a frown. "I'll loan you when I'm done."
Reno's eyebrows rose high and she glared at Riska. "Mystery novel? That's right, "he said. "You know very well, I do not like to read novels. My simple brain can only understand manga. "
Riska laughed, then shifted the conversation. "Today you come home late," he said.
Reno nodded. "Yes, there was an appointment with a friend," he said lightly.
A few minutes later they arrived in front of Riska's house. Actually the building that was mentioned as the house was not really like a house in the shadow of most people. The building is more feasible like a palace. But in his big and magnificent house there was only him and a few housemaids. Sometimes the house is crowded when the maids work while joking. Occasionally Riska engages in their jokes, but deep down, he still feels lonely. She wanted her mama's presence. Her parents often out of town. Even at home, very little time is spent on them for Riska. Papa is too busy taking care of the company, while Mama prefers to set and press Riska to always perform optimally.
"Stop by Ren?" Riska bumbled.
"Sometimes aja Ris, my homework again numpuk ya." Refused smooth. "At home there's no one else Ris?" Asked Reno.
"No, there's just me as Imik, as usual. Yes I already go first yes, bye. "Goodbye smooth.
Riska ran small while humming. The girl swung her legs cheerfully. The morning was still cold, though it was conjugated by the roar of engines and the smoke of vehicles milling about. Noisy and chaotic morning has always been a busy moment for Riska, and he is well aware of it. That's why he always fill the morning activities with humming. In addition to disguise the noise around him, also to keep his mood remained cheerful.
This morning Riska went to school as usual. Occasionally he cycled interspersed. In addition to fitter, also reduce the impact of global warming. Riska does care about environmental sustainability. Besides the school is close, the road is clearly efficient and healthy.
From home, Riska does not go straight to school. He stopped at Reno's house, his best friend, who was only a hundred yards from his home. Next Riska and Reno will walk in trotaar while joking fun to school.
They were almost late. Once past the school gate, the bell rang. Reno different class of different classes over the Riska.
"Bye, Ris!" Exclaimed Reno as they parted at the turn toward their class.
Today, the lesson finished sooner. Riska out of class, to the Park near the basketball court. Waiting for Reno for basketball practice, while writing a diary that looks more like a novelet, his habit of getting rid of all the time while waiting for Reno.
"Doorr ..." exclaimed Reno from behind, who had made Riska jump start, dropped the book.
"Reno, you tuh ngagetin aja." Omel Riska.
"Sorry, I'm just kidding. Again write again? "Asked Reno who was still interspersed with laughter.
"Yeah, fucking hell. Wait for you long. "He replied honestly.
"Novelet?" Guessed Reno.
Riska just nodded affirmatively. "Let's go home, laper nih." Encourage him, strolling first leave Reno. One thing that was forgotten by Riska, her fallen diary, had not yet been taken.
After arriving home, Reno opened his backpack, pulled out the blue book he had found in the park before heading home. Reno recognized the book, Riska's. Actually Reno wanted to return the book, but he was very curious about the contents of the book.
Feeling hesitant, Reno opened a sheet per sheet from the book. Reno was very impressed with Riska's writing, good. Everything he read until the last sheet that Riska recently wrote.
"This writing is really like a diary, just cuman novelet aja. Continue why from the start page to the end of his writing leads to me huh? What if Riska likes me? "Reno asked more to himself. "But that's not possible, Riska may not like me. We cuman friendship from small. "Tangkisnya.
A few months after the incident, Reno tried to stay away from Riska. When he met Riska, he always avoided him, not even to say a word. As if they did not know each other, Riska was like a stranger to Reno. Since Reno knows that Riska likes it, he's away from Riska, and Reno hates Riska so much. Whenever Reno meets Riska, Reno always looks away from Riska. Even so, Riska still loves Reno. Love that never goes out. Although Riska knew, Reno hated him so much. But the Reno family is very close to Riska and his family. In fact, the Reno family also agreed if Riska and Reno are dating. They also often tease Riska courtship with Reno or vice versa.
Riska also has a friend named Aira and Vitha. Aira and Vitha are the places to talk about, where Riska always talks about Reno in addition to his diary. But what Riska is not expecting is Aira, his best friend likes Reno. From there, Riska began to feel that Aira had betrayed him. Riska was annoyed at Aira.
In Riska class there is a new boy named Allan who is a friend of Riska. According to Riska, Allan is a friend and a friend who is fun for him, because he always entertains Riska when sad.
Allan and Reno have the same birthday, November 15th. At Allan's birthday, Riska was invited to Allan's birthday party, so much of Allan's surprise on Riska, to the point that Allan expressed his love for Riska.
"Ris, I love you."
Shut up.
Riska was dumbfounded. He heard Allan say the word, but not quite sure. Is that true? Allan shot me? thought Riska.
"How, Ris?"
"Sorry." Riska answered innocently, only that word he could say.
"Sorry for what?" Ask Allan.
"I can not, Lan. My love is still for Reno. "Said Riska finally.
Allan got annoyed. Allan knows how Reno treats Riska, until Riska goes down, but Allan can not force Riska, accept it. Allan knew, it was not easy to forget Reno for Riska. "Even after he hurt you?" He asked.
Riska nodded, "Yeah, I still love her even though she already hurt me." She said firmly. "Sorry."
"Yeah, it's okay, I know." Allan said finally.
Night began to dissolve, Riska brought home Allan. But when he got home, Riska approached a cat that was on the other side of the street, but nature said something else. Riska hit by a motorcycle that rode so fast, Riska was rushed to the hospital, but Riska can not be saved.
Without Riska know, actually Reno also has the same feelings on Riska. But Reno is too cowardly, and drowned in his fear if one day they are not mate and they hate each other. Reno is not ready to lose friends as well as Riska, so Reno has that feeling. Reno was devastated after Riska's death. He still thinks of Riska's shadow. He regrets having behaved badly against Riska.
When returning from school, Reno rode his motorcycle fast. Then there was the truck that hit him. Reno coma for 1 week. At the time of the coma, Reno felt as though Riska came to see him.
"Riska ..." called Reno quietly.
Shadow Riska approached him, stroked it, for a moment.
"I have to go, sorry. You can not be weak like this. "Riska said.
"I love you Ris, you do not go." Pinta Reno.
"I have to go to Reno. I love you. "Riska said, then Riska ran away, cheerfully, until finally Riska disappeared.
Reno is awake, Reno is aware of all his mistakes. He was able to accept everything that had happened. Reno began patiently and steadfastly to face the trials God gave him and promised himself to always be strong in his life even without Riska, a friend he really cares about. Love that never goes out even if you have been hurt. Love is always beautiful, and Riska has proven it by making Reno the most beautiful story of his life........
