That afternoon at the library in the U. S.
Leo is not a sociable person, nor does he like to talk. He was always silent and immersed in the books he read. He doesn't care about other people's problems.
But the guy sitting on the floor caught his attention. The guy who might be two years older than him, that guy just flips through books and doesn't read them, like that. For almost a week.
For almost two weeks, Leo did not greet him but after the guy left, Leo would pick up the books that the guy chose. How shocked he was when he found the books crossed out abstract lines. Others may think this is a normal line but not with Leo. He scanned the line carefully, then he raised his right hand and looked at his fingers one by one. Yes ... This is a neural arrangement of human hands arranged randomly.
"Excuse me, can you see the book you brought?" ask a library worker. He accidentally sees a lot of graffiti in the book that Leo is carrying. Leo calmly handed the book to the officer. He knew that this officer would be angry. So ... Before the officer got mad at him, he took out a gold-colored card.
"I will pay for this loss" he said. He just didn't want to argue, what else explained at length.
The next day, Leo met again with the guy and still the same as yesterday, he just silently observed and would pick up the book that the guy had taken earlier.
Until one day.
"Do you like to draw?" ask Leo directly. He was sitting on the floor next to the guy.
"Not really" replied the man.
"Why did you just flip through the pages and not read them?"
"I can't read" the man replied briefly. Leo was a little surprised to hear that. Can't read?
Then after the conversation, they talked to each other when they met in the library. Initially Leo who accompanied him sat on the floor then Leo invited him to sit on the bench that had been prepared.
"I'm reading free books here, it doesn't feel right to sit there" replied the man.
"Whoever says it's inappropriate, no one will kick you out while you're sitting there."
"But it's an exclusive seat."
"I've paid for it, come on," Leo asked. The two little men walked there and sat quietly.
"My name is Willy" said the mysterious man. Leo nodded in response. "What's your name?" ask Willy.
"I'll write it down and you'll know my name when you can read it later" Leo replied.
Willy laughed lightly. "That means forever I will never know what your name is" he said. "I can't read, my teacher and my parents have even given up. I'm a flawed ideot, so people yell at me."
"You can read" Leo briefly responded. That's all that came out of his mouth. Then he kept silent again while busy drawing patterns with colors. While Willy was busy paying attention to the picture of the human skeleton in the book on the table.
__________
One day, Leo asked his father. About someone who has trouble understanding letters. And he finally found out that Willy had dyslexia.
Dyslexia is a learning disorder that causes sufferers to have difficulty processing language ranging from reading, listening, and writing.
Then, at night Leo barely sleeps. He made the writing upside down with color. Then he scrambled it. He drew a letterbox and then lined it up.
At the next meeting he gave it to Willy.
"If you want to know my name, then you should be able to read" Leo said. He explained in his own way. Introducing the letter by letter he wrote with his hands to Willy.
_____ A few days later. In the afternoon, the snow fell heavily. The streets began to fill with soft white snow. Willy in his thin jacket stood in front of the library waiting for Leo. And as a car parked in front of the library, she smiled broadly and ran over to Leo who had just gotten out of the car.
Leo looked at Willy who was running towards him. He was silent as his friend ran agilely through the snow to get to him.
"Hi Leo," said Willy proudly after he got in front of Leo.
Leo smiled widely and happily.
"Yes, I'm Leo" replied Leo.
"Wooooooo ...." Willy shouted happily. At last .. he knew the name of the friend. He made a fist on his hand and punched it into the sky. He laughed with satisfaction.
"Wear this" said Leo, giving him a warm jacket from inside his car. He was always carrying a spare jacket, afraid if there was an incident of jacket disposal.
Willy looked at Leo. He thought that this jacket was a gift for him because he could read Leo's name. When in fact it is not, Leo gave his jacket because he saw a thin Willy jacket.
Then Leo took her to a star-rated restaurant as a gift. In the admiration of his eyes, Willy told me that this was the first time he had entered a restaurant. He also praised Leo for being able to get into a star-rated restaurant so easily.
"It turns out the saying is true" Willy said. "Not everything can be bought with money but almost everything in the world needs money. Haaha. Even only the rich can enjoy delicious dishes."
Leo simply nodded in response. When the order comes, Willy happily spends everything on the table.
"Papa told me, be a successful person, be a useful person and you'll easily get what you want" Leo said at the end of his meeting with Willy today. Indeed it is a very ordinary word but from there Willy was determined to be a successful and useful person.
He could see how Leo had tidied up the book he was scribbling in the library with the gold-colored card he was carrying. Leo can sit comfortably in an exclusive place in the library. Leo gave him new books and new stationery. Something Leo could easily get.
_____
At the next meeting, Leo comes with Kiara. This year has increased by one. The three of them sat in the cafe tongkrongan young people of country A.
"I can already write" Willy said.
"You can just write? Just can?" sahut Kiara's. He looked at Willy in surprise.
"He had dyslexia" Leo answered. Voice slowly. His hand clasped Kiara's fingers under the table. Asking Kiara not to discuss that.
"Hmmm, I'm so sorry" Kiara said.
__________
At the next meeting at the library. Of course Kiara was there. Sit next to Leo with pampering. He rests his head on Leo's shoulder. While Willy was busy writing anything.
And here. The joke was created.
"Your handwriting is messed up and very bad Willy, looks like you're fit to be a doctor."
"The doctor must be good at reading dear" Kiara said in response to Leo's remarks.
While Willy chuckled and still continued to write.
Leo nodded in response.
__________
"Pa, is success only for people from the top?" leo asked that morning as he left his house. Yes, they moved house today.
"No" answered the Father. Then he told me about some successful people who started from zero, started from adversity, started from failure and even started from people who were considered failed and stupid. Success belongs to all who try.
Leo nodded and asked her to stop at the library.
The great lord of Nugraha complied with his son's request. He ordered the driver there.
In the morning, Willy won't come here, they'll meet in the afternoon. But ... this afternoon Leo has left the city.
Leo politely greeted the library staff and left a cardboard box he had brought for Willy. Then he really left.
The cardboard contains stationery and a warm jacket.
"I'm waiting for you to succeed, man" Leo said on a paper.

William Dickson .. neurologist who received many honors with his intelligence. That night ...His personal assistant reported that the Prime Minister asked to perform the operation that night as well. At first he refused. He is not interested in people from the upper class who can hire doctors from all over the world besides himself. But he changed his mind when his assistant informed him that the patient was from country I.
William always hoped to be reunited with his friend from country I. But he did not expect that the patient was Leo. He wants Leo to always be okay even if somewhere. But his heart skipped a beat in anxiety when his assistant informed him that the patient was named Leo.
He immediately snatched his jacket and instantly agreed as the name was called.
"Prepare the best team. We're there," he ordered.
The prime minister's helicopter is ready to pick him up. In the helicopter he still hopes that it's not Leo his best friend. So when he got to the roof of the building he wanted to immediately make sure if the patient was not the Leo he knew.
He held onto both of Yuna's shoulders, and looked at the beautiful face of the wife of the patient he was about to handle. A woman who's not like the woman Leo introduced her to. He breathed with relief because the sick patient was not Leo. William looked at Yuna once more, right in her eyes. In the ill-lit spotlight, he was able to capture the beautiful figure before him. And she became hypnotized with Yuna's beautiful eyes. He wanted to look at her again and again.
As his feet stepped into the room and saw a helpless person on the nursing bed. He became very sad. That's Leo, Leo's best friend. They were found in such circumstances. Leo was threatened with permanent disability and even nearly lost his life. He continued to watch Leo, observing the face that was closed with the meeting.
"Buddy, it's me" William said in his heart. Then, he brought his gaze to Yuna. Staring at the grieving woman, the woman who several hours ago bowed and pleaded with her. Both corners of his lips lifted into a smile.
"I will definitely give my best" he said in his heart.

Afternoon at this time.
"I know you guys don't drink wine so I didn't order it" William said.
"Miss do you want to eat this?" Willy offered Yuna. He ordered food that was good for health and maintaining the ideal weight of women.
"There's no need to talk to him, Willy, that's sickening" Leo answered.
"I can't have it, so let me flirt with it."
"Just you Willy, I'll send you to hell if you dare to tease him" Leo said with a sharp look in his eyes.
"Woohh, terrible," William shuddered. "Ok, please serve your queen, young master," said William. Then they eat quietly. William became a single person persecuted to see the harmony of two people in front of him. He deliberately coughed many times to make them realize that he was there, hello. Inner William.
"Uhum, can't you if a woman has two husbands?" william could not bear to comment
"Shut your mouth, Willy," Leo finished his meal. Now it was not she who wiped the lip of Yuna, but Yuna who wiped the tip of her lips with care.
"So actually you guys already know each other," Yuna finally spoke after from just now just silence. "Why didn't the doctor tell me."
"Call Willy, Yuna, that sounds more familiar" William said.
"Call him a doctor" Leo said.
"God ...." William looked at Leo.
"So you and Doctor William know each other?" ask Yuna again. This time he asked Leo.
"He's my hero, Yuna," William answered Yuna's question. Yuna turned her eyes and looked at William.
"Hero? The doctor is a hero to her," Yuna said.
"No, it can't compare to how good he was to me" William replied. He turned his eyes to Leo. "Because of him I who was almost desperate began to dare to rise, I who had almost no hope began to dare to have a dream. I was a foolish child who was marginalized but I began to rise after God met me with him" William said.
"Don't say that while looking at me, disgusting," Leo shuddered. She was uneasy when women looked at her, let alone men who were staring at her.
William laughed at that. "I can't have a beautiful Yuna, so .. What if I had a handsome Leo, you" William said.
"Hmm wherever it may be, she's mine," now Yuna's telling me. He hugged Leo from the side. William widened his eyes.
"Geez, really a compact couple," Willam commented.
"It looks like you guys have a beautiful story" Yuna said. William nodded and told of his meeting with Leo.
"And this is the pay I want" said William. He looked at Leo and Yuna, "Reunited with Leo in good health" he continued.
Yuna nodded, "God has arranged everything."
"It feels very happy to treat you here" William said with a proud smile.
"You're a great William" praised Leo.
William smiled hearing that. He remembered the writing that Leo left in the cardboard.
