"Karina.."
A woman called Karina turned to me. Her beautiful face looks confused. His long bangs almost covered the flying eyes here and there. Moments he looked at me, then he finished smiling. Very sweet..
"Yes, Hansen?"
Like being aware that the creature in front of me is Karina and not an angel, I immediately tried to control myself as best I could so as not to look embarrassing in front of the woman who was the most hits at school.
"Um, can you know which college you are in?" That's the most natural question that crossed my mind. Besides, it's empty. Completely empty.
Karina seemed to think for a moment. "Hmmm, I plan to enter a music school. If you?"
"Eh? I? Um, I still don't know. "I was nervous when he asked me where I would enroll myself in college. Because honestly, I want to follow where Karina will go to college. So you can keep seeing him every day.
Karina laughed. Then he said, "Do you want the National Examination, where do you still not want to enter?"
I shook my head while fascinated by his laughter. Really, I can't.
"Think now, Hansen. You will miss it like that. "
Someone calls Karina's name from a distance. I glanced at the one who called him. Hendra.
My shoulder felt tapped by someone. "Do you feel like you and Karina are here? Haven't come home yet? "I smiled at Hendra, Karina's lover.
"I ... happened to see ... see ... Karina is here, and all the while chatting ..." he answered in a broken voice. Hopefully Karina doesn't laugh at my speech, it's really stupid.
"Oh, I see. Yes, we go home first, huh? "Answered Hendra, waving his hand away. I smiled staring at the two humans away while holding hands. And my heart hurts to see it.
A few days after that, we were all preoccupied with the UN activities which were about to be held soon. And when the National Examination came, we could only focus on the exam without thinking about anything else.
As soon as the National Exams were over, I knew, my chance to meet Karina was getting smaller. Because to this day I have not found where the school Karina will enter.
I looked at a tall, tall building towering before me. DJAWITA HIGH SCHOOL MUSIC INDONESIA. For some reason, this Djawita school is the last choice of school I want to enter. I don't know why, and I also don't dare to believe that Karina will come here too. But I don't think about it anymore, because the girl already belongs to someone else. I just want to deepen my habits in music, and deepen my hobby. Later I aspire to have a career in the world of music.
My sister took me to step into the school. Lonely, because the new school year will begin in three months. I just came here to see what kind of school I would enter later. But I just walked a few steps, I was startled by the voice call behind me.
"Hansen ..." I turned and looked at Karina in surprise. "You ... how come it is here?"
Karina smiled. Very sweet. "I'm surveying which school I'm going to enter. Are you in here? "
I nodded in doubt. Then Karina laughed lightly. "Alright, I will also enter here."
"Eh?" Seeing me confused, Karina chuckled. "Can I follow your choice to go to school? In a way, I admire all of your work that you uploaded on your personal blog. So, if I'm one class with you, you teach me if I don't understand? "
I nodded. And Karina leaned her head on my shoulder. My heart is beating fast. My heart is happy not playing, because it turns out Karina is beside me, leaning her head on my shoulder like this.
"Karina…"
I opened my eyes after being closed long enough. It feels very heavy. Then I looked around me. This is in my room. How long have I been dreaming?
"Hansen, hurry up. You can be late for work! "Emily's voice, my sister who was staying with me while here.
I wake up, and sit on the edge of my bed. I glanced at my bedroom. Luxury, and cold. And that dream, come again, torture me every day. Like that.
Karina ... what are you up there? If you are still alive, can we go to the same music school, just like my imagination before?
"Karina died seven years ago, Hansen. At the time of high school graduation. Never forget, and don't remember that Karina is still alive. He's already happy there. "Emily's voice made me aware of my daydream. And those words he kept saying every morning, when I woke up with sweat.
A fact made me realize. Emily is dead. But somehow why my love for him is still not finished. I love him from all over me, but I realize, love cannot restore everything. There are only sweet memories, and then they disappear.
