A clever young man who is ignorant of all women, named Roy Hermawan. Roy has just celebrated the age of 17 years which is not special. Without Mother, without father and without anyone, only Roy.
Today is the first day of school. He was very lazy because he had to continue his super monotonous life, such as leaving for school early in the morning and returning to the afternoon at home, so his days. As usual, he went to school on a worn-out motorcycle left by his grandfather. For some reason, while on his way to school, Roy always paid attention to the streets that were filled with people with their respective activities.
Arriving at school, Roy saw many of his school children who were dating intimately in public. Roy has never felt the feeling of falling in love. During this time, he never thought of having a girlfriend. Maybe because there is no woman who can make him feel special. However, after Roy saw people who were dating around him, he felt jealous. Many questions that arise in his head.
"Am I correct for getting a boyfriend?"
"Do I have to have a boyfriend?"
"Will my girlfriend be able to understand me later?"
Roy really understands what is happening to a pair of lovers who are together. Not that he often spied on a pair of lovers who are dating, but he accidentally saw the couple fighting in a cafe on a regular subscription on a Saturday night, Roy was not with anyone there, he was only with inanimate objects, a laptop. Roy saw the lovers avoid each other, a trivial problem that was always exaggerated by the woman to her lover. Many make him confused by the attitude of a woman who is suddenly angry, being indifferent, towards her lover. That is why Roy felt uncomfortable when he was with a woman, he did not want to waste his time if only a clash of mouth unclear as he saw in the cafe at that time.
When the Indonesian language lesson took place, the teacher began to joke with his students on the topic "boyfriend". Many classmates Roy who already has a lover, he began to feel that he was not normal. Finally, Roy continues to think about women, women and women.
On the way back home, Roy saw a woman who seemed to be waiting for pickup. He stopped to pay attention to the woman. Roy kept watching her from the side of the road. In his mind "he's special". Roy thought, "How can you get to know him?" The hard thing for him is, that woman didn't go to school with him.
The next day, Roy went to school on city transportation, he was not in good condition if he had to ride a motorcycle, because he knew that that afternoon would be very hot, plus fuel prices soared. That morning was very bad, he had to jostle when in the busway, the streets were jammed with cars and motorbikes passing by, plus he had to meet with a lesson he really didn't like, Chemistry. When he returned from school, Roy met again with the figure of a woman who was exactly the same woman yesterday at the edge of the road near his school. Roy walked slowly while watching the woman from afar, he continued to look across the street until at last he was hit by a siomay wagon that was walking opposite him. Roy felt ashamed, because many people around who laughed at him. He hurried across the road because he did not want to stay too long in the surrounding noise.
After crossing the road, Roy stopped in his tracks right next to the woman he had admired yesterday. Finally, Roy decided to take the liberty of inviting the woman to talk. Roy was very nervous when he was dealing with her, even though she was responding casually to him. Roy began to invite him to get acquainted, the woman was swept away by the intelligence of Roy talking to people he had just met. Until in the end, the woman was picked up by a man with a large, scary body posture. Roy just gave a scared smile at the man.
Saturday night. Roy had made his plans that night for a long time. He wants to find a sweet moment for lovers who are joking around in a favorite place in the city of Semarang. Jalan Pahlawan, the place is located in the middle of the city. Many of the young people who want to enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the Night of Heroes, there are also many street vendors who walk around selling their wares. Armed with a camera, Roy is ready to find lovers there. Roy's goal there was to offer direct photo services for a fee of Rp. 20,000 per photo. It has been a long time since he worked his side job, he always wanted to try to get money with his own sweat, because it was also to fill Roy's empty hours on Saturday nights. Roy walked around Jalan Pahlawan until Simpang Lima which is quite far away. Roy's watch has shown at 21:00 WIB but he has not yet got a customer.
Occasionally Roy photographed small children who were playing in Taman Simpang Lima, he smiled when he saw a small child who was skating in front of him, he immediately thought of his childhood. At that time, Roy's parents still spoiled him, with a luxurious life and perfect affection. Roy misses his parents before, not now. Those who are too busy with their work, to the point that they don't remember their birthdays a week ago. Roy accepts the situation of his parents who are rarely at home due to out of town service, but he never accepts if his parents do not have the slightest time for his only child. Roy's reverie broke apart when a woman patted her shoulder gently from behind. That woman is Karin. The woman who met him across the school.
Roy paused to see him, he was surprised when he saw the difference between Karin when she met in front of the school with the one she stared at that night. Roy began to say one by one sentence so that the atmosphere does not make her feel bored when with him. Roy took Karin for a walk around Simpang Lima Park while joking with laughter. The night was very long for them. Roy stopped his steps and he uttered a sentence that made Karin a little surprised. Roy asks Karin to receive his sincere love, and fix the two of them have become lovers. They hugged each other in front of a large crowd that night.
Since then they increasingly spend time together. Until one day, Karin did not show herself again. He disappeared suddenly without saying goodbye to Roy. Roy had tried calling his cellphone number, but there was never an answer. All Karin Social Networks have been deactivated by him. Roy increasingly confused what to do, until in the end he intends to go to Karin's house which is not far from the middle of the City.
Roy pressed the bell button near Karin's door. Not long after that, a mother came out, Ms. Karin. Then her mother explained that Karin didn't want to see Roy again without giving a clear reason. From the corner of the house came a young girl who was riding a wheelchair with a limp body. Roy was very surprised when he saw the state of Karin that he had never known. Karin explained about her condition, she had Brain Cancer that had no hope of recovery. Tears fell from the corner of Roy's eyes.
Since that day, Roy tried to take the time to visit Karin's house. He really wants to take care of his girlfriend, he doesn't want to leave Karin alone. Give a bite of rice, prepare the medicine, and accompany his last days. A warm atmosphere is created when they are together, doing sweet things that may not be done by other lovers.
The next day Roy visited Karin's house again, excitedly riding his motorcycle. Arriving at his house, Roy saw the flag of grief flew, he took off his helmet and walked limply accompanied by tears falling down from the corner of his eye. No more beautiful stories, no more female figures who accompany her days, there are only memories of a name that will never be replaced. Karin Raflesia.
