1st Cycle

It was raining.. just a light rain where it drops and softly touch us..

The clock shows a quarter past five when the phone rang. It waken up almost all entire family. There were just three of them though.. the boy, his sister, and their mother. It needs a while to wake him up. Doesn't seem like he can be bothered from his sleep, but he woke up a few seconds later.. because the voice was coming from his cellphone..

So sudden news... and so few words to be heard from the phone.. but just one thing he remembered.. " Please come.. now.. "

He already knew who it is, just by listened to the voice.. For a few seconds he stand still.. imagine and remembered the story of the kid that called him earlier.. the story of the kid's family,

There was this one happy family, a family that could inspire everyone. The means of life to always get happiness on every step you continue your life. Even if life is not friendly, even if life is a hard thing to do. There were just three of them, living on the house for at least 12 m2. There were parents and their only daughter. The wife worked as a house assistant for a family on Arcamanik. She had been there for almost ten years. Having one smart daughter, they must be proud. Because this year, their beloved daughter was on a senior high school in Bandung. They considered it as a big city since the girl was never leaving Garut (a small town on the south of Bandung) since the first day she entered school. And the last one is the husband, the kid's father, was a very healthy man that works really hard for their family. He worked as a vendor (food seller) also on Arcamanik. He was still so young, he haven't reached the age 30. He was sure a good looking person, not only on the face, but also his appearance, and his character. No one ever thinking bad about him. Such a person that did a lot for his family and also for his community. He never complained about anything. For him, life was not something to be complained about, GOD gives us everything, he said. He never get sick, miraculously, not even once. One moment people saw he got sick just when he got a toothace. He wakes up early everyday, wake his wife and daughter to get pray, take her daughter to the school before he start to preparing the goods to be selled. Then he comes home after eight o'clock at night, and it happens everyday.

The boy woke up from his fantasy. Brings the memory back into reality. He got to the bathroom and washed his face a bit. Then he prepared his bike on a rush. He didn't prepare much.. he used the same clothes as he used it on bed..

He feel something bad has already happened. But he deceived it.. His aim right now is just to reach that place.. a place that was only 12 m2 size. The place that was not too far, but the path was not easy either, he have to ride his bike through the field, farm, and a few narrow street..

Just when he reached the place.. his nightmare comes true.. he couldn't hold his tears and get fallen to the ground a bit.. and he suddenly realized that death can come to everyone at anytime, anyplace, and any moments..

GOD must have loved the family.. GOD gives a sooner time for a good guy to face before HIM..

The rain was actually stopped... but I haven't see it end yet..
It was still raining..

2nd Cycle : Between Sincerity and Falsity

A tribute for the Matahari Terbit.. "I learned a lot from you guys, something I haven't seen for quite a long time.. "

There were this three kids.. living for a few months doing the internship on the capital city of Indonesia, the Great Jakarta. By coincidence they were coming for a trip and found something they really appreciated... Once again, this must be the GOD's will...

They came home that night with a strange feeling. It was different, something better than happiness and satisfaction.. They got into their own bed after one tiring day, after one quite conversation earlier just after they reached home.. The girl was still had a redrimmed, she cried... a bit.

The trip was scheduled for all the kids to gather on 6 am. Still, they all gathered that day was not exactly at that time. In a word, they were ready to go almost after 8 0'clock. The problem coming from a few friend of them, mostly because they late, and one of them did big mistake, he waited for the bus on the toll road. It was sure a problem since we couldn't stop on the middle of toll road...

But we were still going... to a place on the west of Java Island. For almost four hour then we reached the coastal area... so this was a beach tour.. three of us had already realized it just when we reach it... The Tanjung Lesung Beach Club..

It was really a nice place with clean sand, and such a calm beach... It was very relaxing just to laying down on the sand, really feels that the nature is accompany us. It gave us a calm wind, soft and convenient sand, and also the sound of bird that makes our day even better. We spent our first hours under one big tree... It was so comfortable there.. looking at a wonderful view of the endless ocean while the wind was still softly touching our skin..even though the sun was still too hot for us..or perhaps we are too hot for the sun.. hehe

Something that amazed us was not the scenery, the view, or the place... it was the will of the people to always cheers for us.. we do feel so happy to be there, feels so relax finds that we was finally can felt holiday on the middle of our rush hour...without to be having spoiling.

We don't really into it at first. Perhaps we are the oldest one there, so they would have more respect on us. But it was still bother us when they ask about our feeling all the time..ask us whether we feel happy or not... I didn't know why they concern about us too far.. We really can't accept it.. I do really think all of their attention would make them get burdened..

Later we found that they did it not only to us... this was a different community, an unique group that have sincerity on them..

It was a rare moment for us... they have faith on their friends, and they did everything rewardless. I learned a lesson on how to do your job as good as you can and not complaining. I found it more that the commitee was never showed the tiring expression... they kept entertain us all the day... no one can ever imagined that they hadn't sleep on the night before..

My usual community, my usual world was not like that... I found it lot of falsity from the person all around me. All they think was just theirself... and keep doing this thing for pride and acknowledgement. This was just so contradistic.

Salute for Matahari Terbit....
