ISHIHARA (Blind Color-Real Story)
Under the Rainbow of Hope 1

Darussalam Ring Road, Early April 2009.

The Darussalam area, Banda Aceh, until the whole of Indonesia is filled with party banners and legislative candidates lined up everywhere. It's hanging on the alley gate, the road gate

village to the power pole and trunk

tree. There are even stickers of legislative candidates scattered on the street, just like that. Aceh has entered a new phase of his life. It's an election

the first one after the Tsunami. This is the first election after the Helsinski MoU, after a prolonged period of conflict, Aceh rose to forget its past, staring at a bright tomorrow.

There are three local parties

aceh elections. Only in Aceh, and this is evidence of the specificity of Aceh Province. De Facto Aceh has been independent. Aceh has been given the opportunity to determine its own destiny, but still within

Nkri shade. Special autonomy.

I started to forget the time

then and make it a lesson to look at the future more

good. Just like Aceh, I also began to step up to forget the past and make lessons to look at a better future. I went through college at my best without neglecting every opportunity that came along.

At Ujung Indonesia schedule the first lecture in the morning

it starts 45 minutes later. The sun always comes up late. Approximately the height of the sun at 7:30 WIB in Kuantan Bay is equal to 8:15 WIB in Banda Aceh.

My decision to stay in college in Banda Aceh was finally saved

first year oil company scholarship. The scholarship was very helpful

because things have changed. At the end of 2016 the economic crisis for commodity prices hit Kampung Gunung Cryis, Kuantan Valley, and parts of Indonesia. Rubber and palm prices fell dramatically. The prosperous face of Kuantan

rubber that is about 17 thousand/kg drops drastically to 2 thousand/kg. This crisis makes the Kuantan people again become gold miners like several centuries ago. Therefore Mother still walked to the garden in the early morning to menorah rubber sap for the sake of my college continuity. It made me feel moved. I have to succeed.

I rushed off to college. As usual, I was in a hurry to enter the Darussalam ring road. But sometimes in front of me and Rizqi

leave together. We went together to receive the warm morning sunlight

at the end of Indonesia. Rizqi and I walked straight. Separate at the faculty junction. Rizqi walked to the left towards the Faculty of Medicine road

his future. While I continued further to Faculty of FMIPA, studying counting in Mathematics Study Program.

This morning I walked like never before. Usually I turn towards the veterinary building and then towards the FKIP to get to the

FMIPA. But this morning I took a straight route after passing the Faculty of Medicine. I took the route straight because

approaching FT Chemical Rinai begins to wet the earth body, hardening into drizzle

bushy. I took shelter in a newly completed building, next to the Civilian FT. My view to the west in the brightness of the sky looks beautiful arch, it's a rainbow. But there is not only one rainbow, but two rainbows in the sky of Darussalam.

Drizzling

descend gently

rhythmic

but it went down longer

and often test our patience

waiting to subside

only time knows

and I'm sure

rainbows always appear

after drizzle

In solitude I typed the poem on my phone. Long enough to write on

SMS. But I wrote it too. And I sent it to a number whose owner

I haven't met him either.

“Tett!!” A message came in, a reply from the number I sent.

“I'm sure there are. Exists

rainbow after drizzle in your life.” As soon as the reply message. In that sentence it outlines hope after I thought my eyes wooed in the morning.

“Teet..!” There is another SMS from the same name.

“Not a second KeSNMPTN, this year. Are you planning on joining SNMPTN again? ” Contents

SMS that.

“Ia Friends. This year comes with more careful planning. Hopefully.” I sent an SMS.

“Hopefully succeeded. The others didn't come ? STAN eg.” SMS reply back.

“There are requirements of butabolor. Can't” I remember that I've seen STAN test requirements

on the internet, it is not color blind.

“I think I can. Maybe you used to be less careful to see or too rushed to read it”.

I was stunned to read the SMS I just received. Partial color blindness can enter STAN. Is it ?. Or I didn't look carefully at the STAN test requirements first.

There may be additional explanations for a particular course of study. Or I used to be emotional after reading the testimonials of failure.

“Oh yes. I'll look back later. Receive information from friends.”
