Risda and Afrenzo were sitting together in the field next to the martial hall, both staring at the same sky. Right where the star star began to appear beautifully, the old sky was so very beautiful because it involved star stars scattered in the sky.
"Renzo, do you know how I feel right now? Every time I see a star I feel happy and even want to cry. When I was a kid, I was carried with me to see the stars outside the house when I cried, and I suddenly remembered when it happened. I feel like I wanted to go back in the past but I'm afraid to get hurt again because of the same thing,"
Afrenzo also listened to every utterance from Risda, he also looked in the same direction where Risda stared while laying his body near Risda to make it easier for him to look towards the sky before the morning. While Risda just sat while hugging her legs tightly in front of a bonfire that was not far from her.
The atmosphere there also felt so peaceful without any commotion, especially coupled with the whole is now asleep only remaining Afrenzo and Risda are still awake there. It feels like a very good time to tell a story of complaining and upset when tired of the day he lived.
"Renzo, you sleeping?" Ask Risda for not getting the authorization from Afrenzo.
"Gue was horrified, Da. By the way," said Afrenzo.
"Gue didn't know what to say, Renzo. The more the day, it felt like the more burden I had to bear, it seemed like I was not destined to be happy in the world. I want to give it up, but I don't want to leave it alone."
"Do you know what makes me alive?" Ask Afrenzo.
"What?"
"Before people were born in the world, they were shown what their future was, and 77 times a day angels ask us if we can afford to live in this cruel world. But in fact I was desperate to be born in this world, whether there is something so beautiful that makes me to be born."
"So everything was written before we were born? Why do I have to be born? If I knew it would be like this,"
"There must be something special that makes you desperate to be born, maybe now is not the time to achieve that beautiful thing. But everything has been prepared for us as human beings,"
"But Renzo, what kind of thing is that? Why is the process so hard that I almost committed suicide?"
"Da, there is no easy and instant process to be able to get perfect results. A sharp knife also needs to be pounded many times in order to get the perfect result, as well as life, it takes pressure and trials in order to become a strong and great human being."
"Lo's right, Renzo. A blacksmith would pound it many times in order to achieve a satisfactory result, but could a human be equated with that iron?"
"Just take this as a term, Da. There is no easy thing to achieve extraordinary results, even a fighter who gets the world champion did not do an easy process. A fighter must train diligently, tirelessly, without giving up, even without complaining to get the desired results. Giving up is easy, but a true fighter he will never give up, and will even break through all the challenges that prevent him, a strong man is not a man who never falls, but a strong man is one who falls many times but still tries to get back up,"
"Renzo, I don't think the same way of mind, how can there be someone as strong as you who can face everything alone. If I were lo, maybe I gave up early, especially until beaten by Bokap lo like that,"
"Life is weird sometimes, Da. The proof is still there to this day, right? Not all women can be as strong as you, Da. Look at temen lo who is always around lo, they will not be able to be yourself even if only for a moment,"
"Sometimes I'm jealous of them too, Renzo. They can be happy with their families, but sometimes I also feel lucky, lucky to have a mother like my Nyokap, and friends like you. From lo I can learn many things, that life would not be complete without problems, but I also sometimes fragile and want to end it all,"
"With the way you end your life, are you sure you will be happy in the end? Now is not the time to think about feelings, Da. But now it's time to collect worship charity for lunch later in the end. The most despicable person is the one who has little provision in the end, not the one who has a job that is despised in the world,"
"Lo's right, Renzo. The treasure can be good luck and can also backfire on yourself, a precious treasure is to get a good friend, because it is a gift from God. Not everyone can have a good friend,"
"And the most precious sustenance is patience, everyone can be rich but not everyone has a sense of patience. For patience is God's most beautiful gift to mankind,"
Both also expressed their uneg, it turns out talking to an Afrenzo so comfortable when already familiar with his close. For everyone, Afrenzo is still a quiet person and does not get along much, but for Risda, Afrenzo is a pretty cool confiding friend and can give good advice for himself.
Under the stars, the two were talking, Afrenzo slept in the field with his hands together. Risda was busy warming himself in front of a bonfire made by the previous Afrenzo to burn corn.
It was a very long night for the two of them who decided to keep their guard up, there was nothing pleasant other than chatting together to express their hearts. Risda felt very peaceful at this moment, in a quiet place at once rather dark it made her feel very peaceful.
"Da, are you sleepy?" Tanya Afrenzo arrives.
"Gue's not sleepy, Renzo. If you're sleepy, you just sleep, after all yesterday you were unconscious until taken to the hospital,"
"When I sleep, I'm afraid I can't wake up, Da. So I want to be on guard,"
"Why is that? You know, I even want to wake up early and make sure you're still breathing, Renzo. You will never leave me alone, right? You're gonna be okay, right?"
"Gue's gonna be fine, Da. And I'll keep breathing until fate picks me up,"
"Lo has to be fine how it is, we're the same, Renzo. We have to encourage each other to survive, I encourage you, while you encourage me. So, you can't go first,"
"Lo see that star, Da?"
Risda turned to the brightest star among them and it was the star that was designated by the Africanzo. The star is quite beautiful and larger than the others, thus attracting the attention of the Afrenzo.
"What's with the star?" Ask Risda curiously.
"Although she has no rays of her own and must be helped by the sun, she still looks beautiful and attracts attention. You have to be like that, Da. Although without the spirit of the family, you must still be eager to shine a light on the people around you with the good you have. Just as the star brings peace, you must also bring peace to those around you,"
"Gue's gonna try to do it, Renzo. I'm going to try to make people happy, if I'm not meant to be happy it means I have to be able to make people happy,"
"But you have to love yourself, if not yourself then who else, Da? Not everyone cares about us but us. Maybe in front of them will behave as if they care, but we do not know behind it,"
"Yes Renzo, you should too, Renzo. Don't give up anyway, you are my encouragement, if you yourself are weak then what about me? Will I be destroyed without you?"
"That's why, you're different from the others, Da."
*****
Without feeling the time is so fast passing, now Risda and others are conducting morning prayers in the mosque that is there. After hearing the dawn prayer from a distance, Risda and Afrenzo who were staring at the previous month immediately rose from their place to wake the others.
Risda rushes straight to the top floor to wake up her girl friend, while Afrenzo heads to the school hall to build her male students. After performing dawn prayers, after they immediately changed clothes, they also did a warm-up to start their next activity.
After that they also lined up long to rush to run slowly with the predetermined route. The front row itself is a row of some seniors who will show the way, while behind there are some seniors and Africenzo who watch them from behind.
After a while running far and long enough, they stopped at the edge of the field in the back yard of the school. Seen quite a lot of people who participated in the training ceremony that night, the seniors who gathered alone had made the place feel very crowded.
"Where did you sleep last night, Da?" Vina asked as she accidentally crossed paths with Risda.
"Gue doesn't sleep, I don't sleep," replied Risda.
"Emang can yes, do not sleep all night but do not have drowsiness? You are weird, Da. Weirder than the strangest,"
"What's weird about me? My ordinary people are just normal, I'm too lazy to sleep, anyways if you sleep later also wake up again, continue to what sleep if you wake up again?"
"What do you want, wake up already in the ground and buried? I can't imagine where you'll be in the grave later, Da. Do you want to be alone in there?"
"Yes I will take you too, yes, the time I enter alone without friends. If there's you so I'm not lonely anymore,"
"I am ogah, meatballs are still good why must hunt to death,"
"Death is good to know, can play in his paradise later,"
"What are you sure you can get into heaven? I'm not sure about that, Da. That's how rude and inhumane, just and civilized, you are,"
"Gue can say something?"
"Yes, if you want to say yes just say a few times, why should not permission everything? Cake's in a meeting,"
"Heaven rejects the man who is kayaking lo, Vin. Because you like to lower people,"
"Gue doesn't have the talent to go to heaven, Da. But if I mssuk hell you also have to come with me, because lo who taught me to pervert,"
"Lo crazy!"
A sermon was just slid by Risda, the culprit was none other than Afrenzo who accidentally heard the words of the two. Risda rubbed his head that hurt from the news from Afrenzo, he was eager to protest to Afrenzo but he was also wrong for saying it in front of Afrenzo.
"Who told you to talk here?" Ask Afrenzo in his cold tone.
"Lo anyway, Vin. Even I'm sure I'm talking, it's getting scolded by this cold coach" Grutu Risda told Vina.
"That's because of your answer, Da. I'll ask well eh you answer that cake," said Vina with a soft look.
"Gue was just kidding, why do you make serious, Vin. No fun, lo,"
"Show you've crossed the line, Da. Pake bring me another hell of heaven,"
"Lo's the one who's making this a problem, Vin. You can't be joking around,"
Afrenzo folded his hands in front of his chest, he continued to listen to the words of the two, as if the two were blaming each other in front of him. Already know the coach is in front of him at this time, eh both of them are still accusing each other.
"Have you finished talking?" Ask Afrenzo who saw the two as if they were going to be silent.
"Already," answered Risda while holding her head.
"Because you two have been talking since, you will get punished,"
"What!" Shouted the two together.
"Push up 40 times in that wet field now!" The orders of Afrenzo are not to be denied.
Both of them immediately rushed to the designated place without talking much because they were still afraid to refute the words of Afrenzo. Both of them immediately rushed into a push-up position without caring about their clothes that were dirty because of the ground.
While the other participants were actually told to roll the roll on the ground to make the color of their clothes completely turn brown due to the wet soil attached to their respective snow.
"37,"
"38,"
"39,"
"40,"
"Hufft.. The chest is done too,"
Risda and Vina immediately rose from their push-up position, it was also accompanied by her friend who rose from a rolling position. Their clothes are now the same, but the difference between Vina and Risda is only the front clothes are dirty, while their backs are still clean because they do not touch the ground.
"After this, you are asked to crawl in the trench that is there, from upstream to downstream. Without standing or squatting,"
"Good coach!"
They immediately rushed to get to the place that had been shown by Afrenzo before. Not only the juniors did it, but also the seniors who took part crept inside the trench.
In front of Afrenzo, there is no difference between them, the only difference is the length of training and not who first trained. Even though the students who have been practicing for a long time are not necessarily better than students who are just practicing, but he is so keen to practice.
