Everybody
around looked like busy at their own this afternoon. But the other hand with a
girl who was standing with a big packing under a tree. Seems she didn’t care at
all, just seeing the view of around.
The
girl with black, smooth, and long hair, white skin like babies’, round
beautiful eyes, and an innocent face looked more beauty when the wind was
blowing over her hair.
She
is Enjola Moongyna, and everybody called her Enjola. She is about 17 years old.
Enjola looked like a rather unfriendly girl. It means she usually talked less
with other people, but actually she was a kind girl. However, she couldn’t
express her kindness. So everybody thought that she was an arrogant girl.
Enjola
was waiting for someone to pick her up to her step father’s house. Her mother
was a widow, and she has just got married with a kind man. The man had a
success wine company in a town not far from Enjola’s house. But Enjola
disagree, because she knew that her mother wanted to be the man’s wife because
she was a materialistic woman.
Finally,
a boy arrived. The boy was a good-looking one. He had a short wavy hair, white
skin, a peacefull face, perfect body, and especially his killing smile. Enjola
was stunned to looked at him, the boy did either.
On
the way, that boy didn’t stop to looked at Enjola by the spion-glass in the
car’s dashboard. Seems, he was felt in love by the first sigth with Enjola.
Enjola realised that the boy looked at her. It made Enjola uncomfortable. So
she pretended to go to a toilet, but she ran away. The boy knew it, and he ran
after Enjola then. But finally, Enjola was able catched by the boy.
“Don’t
run away! You should meet your parent, although you disagree if they got
married,” said the boy and took a long breath.
“Do
you have some money? It’s so difficult to still alive without any money, right?
But maybe it will change if you are in or over twenty years old. Maybe you have
a job, so you have some money, and so you can run away. But don’t run away for
this time. You are too young,” continued the boy.
Enjola
didn’t give any respon, she just asked her ownself in her heart. “Why? What’s
wrong? I’ve just believed him. Even, if he says that this earth is a square
one, maybe I’ll let my heart believe him. I like under his magic. His sense is
so strong,”
After
they arrived, finally Enjola got the boy’s name. He was Vangeuno Myson, and
everybody there called him just Geno. Geno was about 18 years old. He was one
of Enjola’s father’s employee. He was very friendly.
Enjola
had a young sister from her step father, named Vinessia. She was a very
beautiful girl and friendly. Everybody there loved her, include Enjola’s
mother. But Enjola dislike Vinessia, cause her overactive talk and very
childish.
In
recently days, Enjola knew that Geno and Vinessa were a close-friend. Enjola was
so envy everytime she saw Geno and Vinessia both together. Especially, after
Enjola school at the same school with Vinessia, everyday Enjola must saw Geno
picked Vinessia up after school. Yes, she was jealous. Maybe she began fall in
love for the first time and maybe by the first sight with Geno.
Actually,
Geno didn’t love Vinessia, but Vinessia did. Geno liked Enjola much. Geno saw Enjola
by inside, that Enjola was a goodheart girl, eventhought she couldn’t express.
So Geno approached Enjola. He always entertained her, when she sad. He always
accompany her, when she got disapprove with everything about Vinessia and her
mother. But sometimes, Enjola was unfriendly. He knew her by inside and
outside. He knew everything about her. He understand. Their feeling for each
other got stronger.
One
day, Enjola couldn’t find Geno there. Then she asked Vinessia, she said that
Geno have just gone to a far place to continue his study. Enjola cried. She
searched him quickly. She searched in their special room -that only they both
know it- and to the train station. But she still couldn’t find him. She went to
the beach -that they both ever have been there- and cried then. “Why? Why you
leave me alone? Leave me without saying goodbye. How? How am I then without
you? Can’t you see how much I crazy looking for you? Can you you imagine how
much I miss you then?” said Enjola stammerly while was crying.
But
in fact, Geno has given a letter for Enjola to Vinessia before he gone, and
asked Vinessia to gave it to Enjola. That letter was about asking Enjola to
come to the train station for their farewell. But Vinessia hasn’t give it to
Enjola yet. So Enjola thought that Geno left her without say goodbye.
Eigth years later...
One
day, Geno came back.
“Sist,
this is Geno. He come back,” said Vinessia happily.
“How
do you do,” said Enjola to Geno, she couldn’t hide her hate-looking.
“What
does it mean ‘how do you do’?” asked Geno. He was so confused and now he also
couldn’t hide his hate-looking finally.
Enjola
didn’t answer. Yes, she hate Geno for his leaving. The same thing with Geno, he
thought that Enjola didn’t ant to come to train station. It caused by Vinessia.
There
was a new employee in Enjola’s father’s company, named Elvano. He was a very
kind people. And he fell in love with Enjola, but Enjola didn’t. He knew that
Enjola loved Geno and Geno loved Enjola.
“I
often see you cry caused Geno. But you still love him! Look at me! Consider me!
I’ll not make you sad,” said Vano in one night.
Enjola
give no answer.
“Why?
Why do you love him much?” asked Vano.
“You
know? I’m sad when he looks at me, or when he doesn’t look at me. I’m sad when
he smiles at me, or when he doesn’t smile at me. I’m sad when he is here around
me, or he isn’t. Why I’m so sad? Because I love him so much. Eventhough I love
him, but I can do nothing. There is Vinessia. But it would be better, I’m sad,
than not having him here,” answered Enjola and began cried.
Vano
speechless. Now he knew how much Enjola loved Geno. And, he gave up for get
Enjola. Then, Vano went to met Geno and asked the same question as Enjola’s.
“I
love her. I don’t understand why she hate me. Yes, I have ever hate her,
because she doesn’t want to go to the train station when I’m leaving her in the
past time. But I can’t and I don’t wanna let my heart hate the girl I loved
since eight years ago,” answered Geno and began cried.
“I’d
love to look at her face. I’d love to smile at her. You know? I have smiled at
her for about a thousand times, but she never replied my smiling. It’a hurt! I
always ask myself what’s wrong with me. And I’d love to have a conversation
with her. But she rarely respon me. I’d love to do everything with her. I have
tried,” he can’t stop his tears.
“When
I’m not here, everyday is just a nightmare. I can’t see her face with all her
expressions. I can’t hear her voice. I miss her. I hope everymorning I wake up
and everynight I fall asleep with her presence still. And tenderly telling me
not to cry,” he cried.
Everything
was going on just as always. Enjola and Vinessia got a better sister-relation.
So Vinessia decided to gave Geno’s letter to her. Then Enjola read it.
“I
don’t think I can go, if I see you. So I’m leaving you without say goodbye. I’m
leaving you alone for now, but later I’ll hold your hand and take you to the
moon and to the stars,” said Geno in his letter. Tears dropped from Enjola’s
eyes. She kinda shocked.
“Don’t
run away. Don’t go anywhere. Wait for me at home. I’m going to endure thinking
that you will waiting for me and I hope that you will endure thinking for my
coming back. I like you, Enjola. You are the one I like the most in this whole
world. If I’m parting with you now for a short time, I want to write you a
letter like this, pound your heart. Enjola, I’ll pass a bridge, that there’s no
way to come back. I don’t want to go. Stop me, Enjola! Will you stop me? If you
stop me, surely I won’t go,” asked Geno in his letter’s ending.
Enjola
ran to their special room. She cried there. She couldn’t stop her heavy
tearsdrop.
“He
said if I stopped him, he would have stopped then. I, I regret have ever hate
him! I think he left me. Why and how it can be happen? How, how I tell my
heart? He, he is the boy I loved since eight years ago,” said Enjola
stammerly.
“Why
Vinessia didn’t give me Geno’s letter?” Enjola just asked.
“Enjola,”
Geno shouted.
Actually,
Geno was there without Enjola’s knowing. He has just heard all of Enjola’s
sayings. He began cried.
“Enjola.
Sorry. I don’t that Vinessia didn’t give my letter to you.” Geno said. And then
he speechless. But finally he repeated,,
“Enjola.
I don’t understand why you hate me. Yes, I have ever hate you, because you didn’t
go to the train station when I’m leaving you in the past time. But I can’t and
I don’t wanna let my heart hate you, the girl I loved since eight
years ago. I’d love to look at your face. I’d love to smile at you. You
know? I have smiled at you for about a thousand times, but you never replied my
smiling. It’a hurt! I always ask myself what’s wrong with me. And I’d love to
have a conversation with you. But you rarely respon me. I’d love to do
everything with you. I have tried. When I’m not here, everyday is just a
nightmare. I can’t see your face with all your expressions. I can’t hear your
voice. I miss you. I hope everymorning I wake up and everynight I fall asleep
with your presence still. And tenderly telling me not to cry,” continued Geno.
“You
know? I’m sad when you look at me, or when you don’t look at me. I’m sad when
you smile at me, or when you don’t smile at me. I’m sad when you are here
around me, or you aren’t. Why I’m so sad? Because I love you so. Eventhough I
love you, but I can do nothing. But it would be better, I’m sad, than not
having you here,” Enjola said.
“I
have waiting for this timing like this for a long time,” said Geno.
“Whenever
I would turn my head. There would be you someone I loved since eight
years ago, who lift my spirit. I don’t dare to hope for everything. No
matter where I went. If you are here with me, that’s enough for me,” Enjola
ended.
The tears dropped so heavy over their
own faces. They cried together and full with Love together.
