The morning weather was cloudy. Dinda still sits in the campus garden alone with her reading book. He is reading the book Criminal Law Policy. Dinda's a smart girl, since kindergarten she never got a bad grade. The value obtained by Dinda is always above average, until finally he is always ranked. Only Eliana often overtook her value and that too was not often, there were several times since they had always been together.
Eliana overtook Dinda's ranking when they were both in Elementary School (SD). When they were both first grade in Elementary, in the even semester Eliana had ranked first taking the rank of Dinda. Then after that Dinda always ranked one back.
Then the second rank was taken by Eliana when they were both sitting in the First High School (SMP). In the odd semester of the ninth grade, Dinda was sad because she felt bad not being the number one when the ninth grade required her to graduate with the best.
Throughout her life, Dinda always tried to be the best. Since childhood, he was used to living with his father. His mother left him when he was five years old for not being able to live with his father who was just an ojek maker. Before becoming a motorcycle taxi driver his father had become an employee of one of the famous companies in the field of Meubel. But the job did not last long, the spinning wheel required that Dinda's father be exposed to Termination of Employment (PHK) so that his father had to lose his job as well as lose his Wife.
It made Dinda independent since childhood. His father was tirelessly working and always came home with a smiling face. Dinda has been taking care of herself since she was five years old. His father taught him to do it all considering that his father had to go make money by being a motorcycle taxi driver. So, when Dinda has to be left alone at home she can do it herself.
All Dinda did was start taking rice and side dishes at the dinner table. Then after eating the plate and glass immediately he was washed and put again into the place of the plate. Then she took a shower and put on her own clothes. He has also done homework such as sweeping and cleaning the house at a young age. Well, even though the results are not as expected because of its small age and the energy produced is how it is. At least he tried to be the best in front of his father.
Sometimes when Dinda eats alone at home, she occasionally sheds tears. Not because his life was full of homework. But she only wants to be noticed by a mother but Dinda always tries to be cheerful when dealing with her father. When he was in the fifth grade of SD, he began to realize that all the burden he received was not how compared to the burden of life that must be borne by his father who took care of him since childhood coupled with having to make a living.
Dinda opened up sheet by sheet the book she read. He slowly tried to understand the meaning and content of his lecture eye book.
“Dinda...” Say hello to Eliana while nudging Dinda's shoulder using her shoulder. Dinda just turned her head smiling back at the greeting and continued reading again. Then Eliana followed up sitting next to Dinda who happened to be the garden chair was designed for two people. Eliana, who was sitting next to Dinda, glanced at the book her friend had read.
“Oalahhh read the book Criminal Law Policy, very diligent youuu.” Candid Eliana. Dinda listened without responding.
“ihhhh... It is important this book is from me.” Said Eliana while pouting. Finally Dinda who heard the words closed the book and put it back in the bag. He decides to stop reading the book and tries to respond to Eliana.
“ho’oh what is Eliana?” Tanya Dinda flat.
“Well there's nothing. I like to bother you if you are serious about reading. Because I'm the only one who can disturb you, hehehe.” Said Eliana with a small laugh.
“By happy very full face, happy is happy but that's why black eyes like lack of sleep? Your eyes look great loh.” Said Dinda while pointing at Eliana's face. At once Eliana was busy holding her face with both hands. Eliana began to pick up the small mirror inside her bag that she carried with her wherever she went.
“Oh yes well, really panda eyes.” Said Eliana pouting.
“Nothing, don't worry about me. Now I'm even more worried about you Dinda.” Eliana answered more attentively.
“I? How am I?” Ask Dinda wonder.
“Yes you are Din, actually I want something from yesterday. But somehow I always undo that intention.” Said Eliana who prepared the heart to ask her friend.
“What's wrong with Eliana? My feeling is okay from yesterday.” Sahut Dinda who began to remember what happened that happened a week ago. He tried to remember it and felt that there were no strange events or calamities that he had experienced.
“Actually what is your reason for cutting your hair that short Din? I know very well Your father or you yourself do not like short-haired women very much. Well, except myself yes, I know I've always been your exception hehehhe.” Said Eliana who was initially serious then closed with a loud laugh.
“Hahaha…. Eliana you're funny. Hahahah..” Dinda laughed big, because of the loose laugh she covered her mouth with both hands trying to hide her gaping mouth. Seeing that reaction Eliana fell silent, and felt even more strange. Since childhood until High School Dinda became his best friend, there are no secrets between the two of them but lately Dinda looks strange like hiding something.
“Eliana has nothing to think about. I cut my hair really want to try new things. Really, trust me!.” Dinda tried to convince her childhood friend. Eliana chose silence and did not extend the subject any longer.
“Kok now even silent?” Ask Dinda. It's even Eliana who looks weird now.
“That's it, because you laughed and already answered me so understand hehehe.” Eliana replied casually, she's back on her character.
“You hungry no?” Ask Dinda. “My stomach is empty, to the canteen!” Take Dinda while holding Eliana's arm while inviting her to leave the beautiful garden.
“He's hungry, eat.” Eliana answered excitedly. His stomach has been rumbling since then. Eliana stood first followed by Dinda, they both walked away from the campus park and towards the canteen of the Faculty of Law, University of Indonesia (FHUI).
While walking with a cheerful face, Dinda was right to hide something to Eliana. She is reluctant to tell Eliana because all the things she has been doing lately are a shadow of Eliana herself. For her Eliana who was very perfect with her beauty, her intelligence, coupled with her wealth made Dinda envious secretly.
Dinda's life that is far from perfect outside of her cleverness makes her jealous of Eliana that she has kept since sitting in the SD bench. Therefore he always tried to make the first rank compete with Eliana. That sense piled up and emerged now while he was at the same campus as Eliana.
