...Beginnings...
Lintang is a girl who was born and grew up in a small town. Since childhood, Lintang has shown interest in books and the world of imagination. She loves reading fiction and loves drawing.
However, this makes Lintang a target of bullying from their peers. They consider Lintang strange and abnormal because he does not like to hang out with them and prefers to read books. They often describe it as "geek" and "nerd", not even reluctant to tear his favorite books.
Not only in school, Lintang also get pressure from his family. His father, who worked as a taxi driver and his mother who worked as a factory worker, often ignored Lintang and paid more attention to his younger siblings. They prefer to pay attention to children who are more cheerful and not 'strange' like Latitude.
This makes Lintang feel lonely and unappreciated by those around him. She often cries alone in her room and hopes to have a friend who understands and accepts her for who she is.
The latitude days at school were getting harder as he entered the 4th grade. One of his friends who was previously fine, suddenly became extremely ruthless and started bullying Latitude. He often throws Lintang books into the trash, breaks his pencil, and sends terrible letters to Lintang.
Lintang tried to talk to the teacher and the principal, but they did not care much about his complaints. They think bullying is common in schools and Latitude should be able to handle it on its own.
Lintang felt very desperate and did not know what else to do. He began to avoid school and was more often at home, reading books and drawing alone in the room.
...Struggling in silence...
Lintang calls him the "greatest secret" - a feeling of loneliness that always follows him wherever he goes. Whenever he sat alone in a corner of the classroom or in the school garden, he felt the same feeling. He felt that he was never really appreciated by those around him.
But Lintang never said this to anyone. He always smiled and tried to look fine, even though he felt that he was being crushed inside. He is afraid to express his feelings to others for fear of being perceived as weak or strange.
Lintang keeps all his feelings inside himself, especially when he experiences bullying. He felt that he should be able to handle the problem himself and not complain to others. He was afraid that if he expressed his feelings to his teacher or parents, they would consider him a person who could not cope with the problem.
Lintang often cries alone at night, hoping that all the feelings that burden him will disappear. He tried to calm himself by reading books or painting in his sketchbook. However, he felt that he was only covering up his problem and not solving it.
He also felt uncomfortable at home. His father was always busy with his job as a taxi driver and his mother was always busy with her work in the factory. They rarely spend time with Latitude and when they do, they pay more attention to the more carefree younger Lintang siblings and do not pay attention to Latitude.
Lintang felt that he had nowhere to talk about his feelings. He felt that he was alone and that no one really cared about him. However, even though he feels that way, he stays strong and tries to move on with his life by pretending that everything is fine.
He often hoped that someone would take notice of him and help him. However, he felt that hope was in vain because he felt that he did not deserve the attention of anyone.
As he walks home from school every day, he often sees his group of friends walking together and having fun. He was envious of seeing them because he felt that he could not get along like them. He felt that he was always outside the circle and could not get into it.
However, Lintang continued to step forward, trying to remain steadfast in the face of the difficulties it faced. He was sure that one day, he would find a way out of his loneliness and find someone who would truly appreciate him.
...Grannies...
One morning, while Lintang was walking to school feeling the same way as usual, he found a letter on his doorstep. The letter was written in handwriting and came from the grandmother who lived in a remote village. In the letter, the grandmother invited Lintang to come to her village and spend time with her.
Lintang was initially hesitant to leave, fearing that he would leave his family and fearing a long journey. However, the grandmother was very persistent and promised her that she would find new experiences and would find the support she needed.
After careful thought, Lintang decided to go and visit the grandmother. He asked his parents for permission and prepared himself for the trip he was going to make. When he arrived at his grandmother's village, he immediately felt a difference to the place he had lived before. Fresh air, beautiful natural scenery, and calmness and serenity of the place make the heart of Lintang feel calm and peaceful.
The grandmother welcomed Lintang warmly and gave her a lot of attention and affection. He takes care of Lintang with attention, cooks delicious food and invites him to do various interesting activities in his village.
