My Self

Wind was blowing. There were so many birds over the sky. A beautiful sky was painted on the sky. A 25 years man was sitting on a hill. Old man was staring at the sky. He looked a beautiful sky. It made his heart calm, very calm. He always went there to calm his mind. He was not only sitting there, but he was playing guitar too. He was the master of guitar, he always make a beautiful song with his guitar. Sometimes he got an inspiration about something from something near him. But for that time, there was something different. He got nothing. The only way for him to get a good inspiration was looking backward about his life.

***

            There were so many children played around the yard. But the boy didn’t join his friend to play. He just played his beloved guitar on the corner. He was alone. But he enjoy it. He didn’t care about his friends. He thought, if he didn’t make a problem or annoying his friends there’s no problem. He played a song , popular song. He played that song with seriously. When he was playing guitar , suddenly there was a girl that show in front of the boy and joined him to sing a song. She was Cinta. Cinta is a best friend of the boy. The boy already know about Cinta since they in Junior High School .

Cinta : “Hey , why you always sit here, playing that ugly guitar, with a bad voice of yours. And just looking all of your friend. Why ?

The boy : Hey cinta, my best friend, don’t talk too much, I’m not annoying you. There’s no problem for you and for anybody.

Cinta: “hey , don’t be serious. I’m just kidding men.”

The boy : “ hey, im kidding too. Hahahah”

Cinta : “hehehhehe. Let’s go to somewhere.

The boy : Canteen ? okay let’s go.

            It was always like that , when the boy was alone, Cinta came to make the boy happy. And when Cinta was alone , the boy will do the same thing like  cinta.

***

            One day Cinta ask the boy to go out with her. The boys declined it first. But after Cinta force the boy to join her. The boy joined her to go out. The boy took a blue t-shirt and his favorite shoes. When Cinta and the boy walked around, cinta was keeping talked to something.

The Boy : “hey, you are different”

Cinta : “different ? I’m beautiful ?”

The boy : Up to you , hehehehe

            Finaly, Cinta dan The boy was in the one place. It was a hill, a little hill. And the boy asked Cinta, “Why she bring me here ?”

Cinta : Do you know why I bring you here ?

The Boy : No, why ?

Cinta : because I wanna tel you something important

The Boy : important ?

Cinta : Yeah, hmmmm.. I think I love you

The Boy : Cinta , you are not doing a joke, do you ?

Cinta : No , I’m falling in love with you

After that , the boy and Cinta be a romantic couple. And they always went to a little hill.

            It was same like another day. But something was different that day. But the boy didn’t know the different was. It’s just like usual, Cinta asked the boy to go out to hill. But this time was different. Cinta asked the boy to bring the guitar.

            When they on the hill. They was singing a song. But in the middle of that song, cinta said something.

Cinta : Hmmm.. I’m sorry . I’m wanna go for a long time

The boy : But , where do you wanna go ?

And Cinta explained to boy that cinta had leukemia since 1 years ago. And it was a last day for her. And she explained to the boy if  she would back to her boyfriend.

The boy : But why ? Why you didn’t tell me before ?

Cinta : I don’t want to make you sad. Beside of that there nothing can help me unless magic or something like that. But, it’s just a fairy tale , not a real thing.

The boy : ( he was not give a single word to her)

Cinta :  But please remember this , I will be back to you . I promise.

The boy was thinking, it was impossible, but he must believe it. Because there was nothing he can trust unless Cinta. After Cinta make the boy believe in her, She ask the boy for something. She wanted to hear a song for a last time.

            The boy play  a song. That song was Cinta’s favorite. The boy just could sing a song. He just could make Cinta happy for the last time. When the boy was singing a song, Cinta was laying on the boy’s shoulder. And not long after that, Cinta was pass away on the boy’s shoulder.

            Since that time, the boy was always go to that place alone, bring a guitar. He hoped that Cinta could come back to him. Every single afternoon.

Now, a man got his inspiration. And He got a good lyrics for the song :

I believed in fairy tales 
In magic spells and wishing wells
And pirate sails
And once I thought I'd never fall in love
That shows how much I knew

And I believed in superman
In Santa Claus the world of Oz
And Wonderland
But one by one those fantasies have failed
While you keep shining through
I still believe in you

I could never doubt your kiss
No other love fills me like this
If you take a chance, you'll see
I believe in you
Believe in me

But one by one those fantasies have failed
While you keep shining through
And I still believe in you

Repeat chorus

Other dreams may turn to dust
But I don't care, if you'll be there
I'll always trust
'Cause I believe in all my heart and soul
This dream we share is true 
And I still believe in you

           

The man was always believe that Cinta would come back to his side. He didn’t care if people say that he was a crazy man. But the only thing that he can trust was Cinta. And the man who believed Cinta, was myself.
