    "Darling ...," I kissed Stella's forehead softly. Marking how missed I was to that round-eyed little boy..

   The look on his face was very bright when my hand reached him and carried him in my sling.

   "Sorry Mama, yes, dear. Old mom, did you know?" I kissed her cheek.

    "You passed out, In?" My mother looked at me full of worries.

    "Yes, Mom. Ordinary not eating yet" I said.

    "Don't focus too much, In. Take care of my health too" Mother stroked my head gently.

    "Mom, do you know who helped me?" I stared at Mom's soft bead.

   "Who?"

   "Ikhsan, Mum. My first ex-boyfriend and first love,"

   " Ikhsan? the young man who left you, until you were frustrated and didn't want to date again?"

   "Yes, Mom. Ikhsan who left me because we were poor and Dad who was just a farmer" said me with a tone that began to rise.

   Vigor and emotion suddenly slipped into the recesses of my heart. Yeah, I'm still very hurtful to him.

   "Would he see you?" it seems that curiosity is also starting to take hold of Mom. It is evident from the increasingly detailed question.

   "He's poor now, Mom. And want to work at my place,"

    "You accept, In?"

    " Yes, of course I accept, but .. he won't work long. Because I'll take my revenge on him!"

   Flashback Indri And Ikhsan

   A young man ran to find the girl waiting for him under a shady banyan tree. The dried leaves fall with the faithful Girl waiting for the arrival of the Man by reading a love novel, 'Where Love Leans'. Her face lowered as if drifting in a beautiful romance story. In his heart he hopes to experience a beautiful love story like the contents of the novel he read.

   "ins...Indri!" the young man waved and shouted loudly calling the name of his heart.

   The girl named Indri, immediately turned her head and looked at the happy lover who had been waiting for her.

   "Hosh.hosh!" the young man's breath was wheezing when he was beside Indri, the girl he loved.

    "Hey, why run around like that? is it how bad brother misses me?" Indri, who was wearing a white-gray school uniform at the time, smiled at her sweet-faced lover with her sweet nose, stroking Indri's long hair.

    "Every time, every time, every second, minute, hour, battery always thinking of you," the young man kissed Indri's forehead slowly and long. He loved the girl who had been in his heart for three years. Since Junior High they have known each other and fallen in love. Moreover, their schools are in an adjacent area.

   Indri teenagers used to often pass through the school of the Youth named Ikhsan.

   Because he often met in an angkot, Ikhsan put his heart on the girl who always braided her two hair. She was fascinated by the sweet and beautiful face with that beautiful hair.

   Ikhsan finally expressed love when Indri stepped on the third grade of Junior High School and Ikhsan the first grade of High School. Upon graduation, Indri decides to go to the same school as his girlfriend, Ikhsan.

   "In, we've been dating for a long time. Brother is also suitable and does not want to find another woman besides you,"

    "So, I'm graduating soon, In. Brother wants to go to college so that Brother someday has a decent job. We can build a harmonious and well-established household," Ikhsan sat in front of Indri, staring at the bead of Indri's eyes that began to dew. He was very happy because Ikhsan had a beautiful dream for them in the future.

   "In, Brother wants Indri to come with Brother, meet with both of Brother's parents. Let them know if you have a lover and want this relationship even further. You're ready to wait, aren't you?" Ikhsan looked at her expectantly.

    "Yes, I know. That's why we're both waiting. Three more years or four more, deal?" He showed his little finger to Indri. Invite him to promise the style of school children in his era. The girl pulled both corners of her lips until it created a beautiful smile and sparkling eyes. He was very happy  .

   "Tomorrow Brother pick up, yes. We're acquaintances with Brother's parents" he said after kissing Indri's forehead once again. Indri nodded for sure. The young man got up and left, waving his hand. Entering his entourage of friends, leaving Indri whose face feels hot due to the speech of the Youth. Indri dissolved in a puddle of love that washed away.

   The expected day arrives. Indri is ready with his signature simple clothes. Pink t-shirts and levis skirts are the choice of outfit. She is not a fashionable and possessed girl, her father is just an ordinary farmer whose income is mediocre.

   Brumm!

   The sound of the roar of Ikhsan's motorbike was heard roaring in front of the Indri board house which had begun to weather. Proven from the board that has been crooked on some sides because it is eaten by termites.

   Indri ran hastily to see the figure he was waiting for as the sun began to puff out and show off its rays.

   After saying goodbye to his parents, Indri and Ikhsan stepped together towards the bike and Indri rode in his arms with joy. For the first time Indri was brought to Ikhsan's house.

    Indri's heart beat irregularly as his feet imprinted on Ikhsan's spacious courtyard. Colorful ashoka plants filled part of the land in his yard. Neat and neatly arranged among the grass that is deliberately planted to cover the soil.

     The house of Ikhsan turned out to be big and magnificent. Indri just realized that his lover was the son of a rich man. Instantly Indri's guts. Given that he is only a child farmer who can be categorized as poor.

    "A-I just go home, sister," Indri gripped onto Ikhsan's jacket. Stopping the steps of Ikhsan who was preparing to step towards

her house.

    "Why, In? we've already arrived. Ayok, come in," Ikhsan pulled Indri's hand forcibly, so the girl finally stepped in following her lover.

    "Assalamualaikum" he said as he opened the door and entered his mansion.

    "Come, San. Here bring your girlfriend to join Mama here, "a woman's voice echoes from the back of the house.

    Ikhsan was still loyal with his hands and brought Indri into the dining room.

    "Is-this your boyfriend?" exclaim a man who Indri assesses the same age or even a little older than his father. His face was firm and seemed unfriendly.

    "Yes, Pa. This is Indri I spoke about last night," Ikhsan said, standing glued to Indri beside him.

   "From his clothes, Papa knew he was poor. What's your dad's job, huh?"

    Bak in hujam thousands of sembilu, the heart of young Indri very sick and sore. Without realizing it, a clear liquid began to seep in the corner of her beautiful eyes.

   "Pe-farmers, sir," said Indri.

    "Farmer? cih, the farmer's son apparently! Ikhsan broke off his relationship with him. Papa doesn't want to have a farmer's besan, "all.

   Indri's body was squeezed and his ears were burning. The heat ran through his body to his heart. The tears were pouring down his cheeks.

   Plaque!

  Indri jerked the hand of his lover who seemed resigned without the slightest defense of his pride that was stepped on by the speech of the Papa.

  He turned around and ran away from the rich family following Ikhsan, his girlfriend who was still confused and confused to choose a lover who was in love or his parents.

   "Indri.. wait...!"

   However, the girl still ran regardless of the call of her dream young man. Heart's broken. And that was the beginning of the eternal farewell between Ikhsan and Indri. Because since then Ikhsan seems lost like he was swallowed by the earth. Indri never looked for him. They were completely separated without ever saying the word 'goodbye'.
