imageMy name is Shelin. I'm a student at the University of Pelangi Nusantara. Looks like the student's name for me is inappropriate, because I'm a tomboy boy. Although I'm a tomboy boy, but I always keep my behavior to look like a polite child. I have a friend since elementary school, his name is Vano. But unfortunately, when grade 4 I had to move the house as well as moved to school because I had to follow my parents in Jogja. Since then I feel lonely no friends as good and as good as Vano and about 9 years I did not meet him. Indeed he is a man, but he is very different and I am very comfortable with him.

Vano is very sorry for he is an orphan, his father is gone. But Vano is a very strong boy. Before I moved, I knew he lived with his grandparents in Solo, while his mother worked in Jogja. Vano and I have not seen each other for a long time but we can communicate with each other through social media. One day Vano was on his birthday and I can only say from BBM, because the distance is blocked. But no reply from Vano, he just read my message, not only that, now Vano contacted will not answer and reply.

It's been a few months I do not know how the news from my friend he just disappeared, and some where. I thought maybe he was busy with his lecture or had forgotten me. I just be patient and pray that I can meet my best friend. When I attended the University of Pelangi Nusantara I had seen a man who resembled Vano and called him, "Vanoo." It turns out that the person I met was my professor named Deva, somehow they were very similar, I do not know either. The similarities that make me as always always remembered Vano who always existed when the first.

One day, my lecturer Kak Deva called me and asked, "Hey! What is your name?"
"My name is Shelin, oh yes sorry kak that time I wrongly called my sister as Vano," I replied.
"Oh yes it's okay, who exactly is Vano?" He asked.
"Vano is my friend kak, he is faithful to hear my curhatan and he is very kind to help, sorry my kak hurry again there is a class," I replied.
"Yeah, see you later."

Then I did not mind, I ran straight to the class. Arriving in the class of profit lecturers have not been there, not long enter the lecturer was the lecturer was Kak Deva. Immediately start the lesson, from my research hell Deva way of talking, fashion style all almost similar to Vano, so when in class I really do not concentrate and just think of where the fate of Vano.

Today is the exact day of the red date, I plan to go to Malioboro with my classmate Kenanga. I wanted to try through the middle of the two trees, he said if anyone could get past the two trees with their eyes closed, the wish would come true, and I tried to get me to meet my best friend. But whatever the power, I can not get through it maybe I should ask God not on the tree. After playing to Malioboro, Kenanga had to go home because her sister suddenly fell off the stairs, and I was not allowed to go. Yes it's possible I have to walk alone. I accidentally met with Kak Deva he was sitting alone daydreaming, but I ignored him, instead I just want to get away from that place. Ouch but unfortunately he just called me and came to me.

"Shelin, who are you here?" He asked.
"I'm here alone, but I had time with Kenanga, but he came home first because his brother suddenly fell from the stairs, brother,"
"Oh that, you do not call me kak, are we off campus, if again on campus, nga engga nothing call kak,"
"But .. my brother is my teacher,"
"Ah .. it's okay I'm the same you original only two years adrift,"
"Oh yes Dev,"
"Well so dong,"
"Yes udah kak I want to go home soon, I've cape,"
"See you later,"

After talking I became bored and wanted to go home. Before going to the house I could see like Vano from a distance, but if it's Kak Deva is not possible, because he is still behind me, when I see him suddenly go and run, I also do not know if it is Vano, because I only see from distance. When I got home I did not have a job, so I just daydreamed at home. I've been thinking for a long time, I went downstairs, took a drink. I accidentally passed the barn, but the door was open, I do not know who opened it, or my Aunt did not know either. Then I called Bibi. "Auntie .. Aunt where, what Auntie inside, but no answer though,"

Without thinking long I went straight into the warehouse, which is only a pile of dusty cardboard boxes, after I remove the cardboard it turns the bottom like a locked door, because I was curious to just look for the key, wherever, finally the key was met, though it was a bit rusty. Then I just open the door, I enter slowly. There is a cupboard, I just open it. When I see I immediately shed tears, because there is a photo album there is a photo of me, Vano, and other elementary friends before I moved, longing it arises when I see the photo album. Late in the afternoon, I'm so glad Vano told me to pass the message.

"I'm fine here do not worry," he said.
"Really, you're okay, I'm afraid if you've forgotten me, then why do not you come to me for a few months?" I asked.
"Yes baseball maybe I forget you, we are very close, how I forget you, sorry yes I have been busy with my lecture a few months, my duties very much,"

"Oh thank goodness if you do not forget me,"
"Where are you studying now?"
"Now I'm studying at Pelangi Nusatara University, oh yeah there's something similar to you named Kak Deva, my lecturer,"
"Oh yes, but the original would have been more handsome to me,"
"Yup you pd?"
"Better pd!"
"Well it's up to you, I want to learn,"
Then I went straight to study.

2 days later. I was very surprised because I usually go to college by bicycle, suddenly in front of the existing Vano who picked me up, I'm very happy.
"Vano where aja, ih now you really high, whereas I was high altitude," I asked excitedly.
"Yes I was college, yes dong grow up, yuk to campus together?"
"To college together? No mistake, are you studying in Solo? "
"Calm me now one lecture with you and one department let me see your sweet face,"
"Ah you can aja, yes we've to campus directly let me not late,"

And every day I always together with Vano, pretty frugal gasoline. Apparently not in vain my prayers so far, I can meet my best friend. And it turns out Kak Deva is her cousin Vano. One morning Vano spoke.

"You have no time, I want to talk?"
"It's there, make friends I can," I replied.
"I want to be honest with you,"
"To be honest what to say,"
"Actually these few months when I did not let you know, I was chemotherapy in Singapore, I had cancer, Shel and after chemotherapy I followed all your activities," while shedding a tear.
"Why do not you say from the beginning, I'm so sad, I'm afraid of losing you and so you've been following me in Malioboro?" Crying and beating her shoulder Vano.
"No time is right Shel, sorry I just told you, and yes it was me, I did deliberately run away when you see,"

After a few weeks I always take care of Vano, so as not to easily sad. Two months later, I did not expect Vano to make me fiancee in front of my parents, and his mother. I was touched by this situation and Vano said, "Are you going to be my fiancee, in the last rest of my life,"
"What are you talking about, you will not leave me? Yes I want to be your fiancé, "

And the next day I and Vano got engaged. The atmosphere of this engagement made me shed a tear, I also did not expect my now beloved friends now become my companion, though only a fiancée. After the engagement event finishes Vano says, "If I'm dead help you should be able to replace me, I want a Deva who replaces me,"

"Uh .. you do not talk rich so I do not like ya!"
"This is a message you must run, if you love me! It's nothing I just want you to guard, "
"It's up to you, if that's your request I'm following,"

After 4 hours Vano with me, I never thought Vano had left me forever. I really do not accept this incident, because I was only a few months with him because it has not met 9 years. After 3 years I was able to sophomore Vano, and finally I was proposed Deva to be his lifelong companion and rose to the aisle.........
