TOUCH OF LOVE STRINGS
1. LOVELY VERSE
That night Rihanna who was just finishing her schoolwork rushed up to her bed, as usual every day her hobby of writing poetry when Inspiration came to her mind suddenly.
What goes through his mind, that's what he writes. Perhaps this was one of his talents that poured out anything that came to his mind at that moment. The poem he is currently writing is about loyalty.
..."*In my life there was a love I knew. It came without me knowing where it came from. Knowing him without knowing who he is, if the universe can unite our love, I want to live with him someday. ...
...Seeing her hair change color and wrinkles with age, my love will not stop and will not change even though nature changes its appearance, because all I love is her heart and soul not her young body. ...
...If fate had not sided with us today, perhaps my chance to be with him would have been restored by the divine because of the strength of our love. Believe me baby, my love will not be timeless and will not be obsolete because of our age, I will still wait for you even though you are never there for me now*....
In front of the school gate, Rhihana was waiting for her personal driver who was a little late that day to pick her up. Rhihana who was restless waiting to pull out her diary which is a collection of poems that have been made by her.
Not long after, the sound of a car horn calling her, Rhihana rushed to her car and accidentally dropped her diary in front of the school gate.
"Hi miss!" Your book's missing." Shouted Robi when he was about to chase after Rihanna who was already in his car.
The car continued to move out of the Rhihana school area where the girl was studying which had reached ninth grade junior high." Well he left, but the book is still there for me," said Roby then put the book in his old bag.
Roby returns to the streets of the capital by taking a public bus while busking to make ends meet.
Roby is an orphan who lives a long life because it has no place to live except an old tree that is in an empty land area owned by a factory that has not been managed by its owner. He also set up a house on a tree that became his shelter, when tired of coming to greet his body.
Roby came home with a pretty decent snack that day. He also calculated the change for the sake of the change in his residence. About two hundred thousand more money in his pocket right now. Roby rushes to the warteg to fill his stomach that has not been touched all day with solid food.
He ordered some light side dishes with a plate of rice and sambal that added to his appetite today. After finishing his meal and sipping sweet iced tea to sweep the food left in his mouth, he returned the dirty dishes to the warteg waiter. He rushed back to his hut.
"Thank you God for Your fortune today" he said, recalling what he had today - the diary of the girl he saw yesterday.
Out of curiosity, he ventured to open the diary and saw each row of beautiful poems neatly written on each sheet.
"Geez!" This guy is very poetic. It seems pretty good, if I make it a song." He said with a happy smile.
He grabbed a pen and then wrote each note by adjusting his guitar quotes. Within an hour he had already created the notation of the song with lyrics from Rhihana's poem.
The song is very beautiful and very touching if played to others.
"Where could I possibly be free to sing this song, if only the owner of these words had not known it. Ck, I'll sing it later after returning the book to the owner and asking permission from him" Roby said, then put the guitar and rest in his hut on the tree.
Roby and Rihanna have different lives on a social level. Rihanna is a girl who was born in a wealthy family while Roby's son is dumped by her mother in an orphanage for avoiding disgrace. Roby, who was ten years old, was not adopted by any family because of his mischief, which he deliberately did so that no one would be willing to adopt him. He was sure that one day his mother would take him to the orphanage.
But unfortunately for Roby, the orphanage he was in had been evicted and the caretaker went somewhere. Thanks to an old guitar given by the school guard when he was still in elementary school, he was able to support himself by busking.
He is now 16 years old and can no longer continue his higher education, but he always read every book carried by scavengers who became his friends on the road so that his brain was equivalent to a 12th grade High School student.

The next day, Roby was in front of the school gate owned by Rhihana, while waiting for the girl out waiting for the driver to invite, he looked into the school that had begun to disperse students. Roby slightly avoided the students who were ready to wait for their invitation.
Not long after, Rhihana was also in front of the school gate.
For a little while, he sat with a slightly bent face thinking about his lost diary, which he had not yet found.
"Good day, miss!" Say hello to Roby when he sees the girl who dropped her diary yesterday, sitting with a sad misty face.
"Jiang!" Rhihana said in shock when she saw Roby's slum appearance that was more like a gembel.
"Sorry lady, I just want to return your book that fell down yesterday when you were about to get into the car." Roby said as he handed the diary to Rhihana.
"Thank you, thank you!" Rhihana said then grabbed the book with a smile happy to find the book again.
Rihanna took out one red note and gave it to Roby." This is for jajan.
"I'm sorry I didn't expect anything in return, I just wanted to give you back because it must be very valuable to you." Roby leaves Rhihana but her steps are stopped when Rhihana says a word for her.
"Will you be my best friend?" Ask Rhihana.
Roby turned her body around and answered Rhihana." Aren't you disgusted by someone like me.
"Not so long as you follow the terms, I will be happy to make you my best friend" Rhihana said firmly.
"My name is Ana and what's your name?" Ask Rhihana.
"Roby!" Reply to this busker without looking at the very beautiful face of Rhihana.
"Well Roby, if you have time tomorrow meet me here when I get home from school. Do you want to?" Rihanna watches Roby's dirty face.
"Yes!" Roby said happily even though he was a little hesitant with the beautiful girl's speech before him at this time.
"I live first yes" said Rhihana then approached his car and waved his hand at Roby.
After Rhihana died, Roby jumped for joy because he felt like he was getting a durian collapse.
"What dream did I have last night, so get the offer of a beautiful girl. Ah just let it flow as it is, after all this also does not know the truth of the girl's speech." Robby got back on the city bus to continue his work as a street busker.
Roby again carrying his guitar chasing a city bus that is running slowly looking for passengers of school children who just disbanded.
With a burning spirit, Roby asked the passengers for permission before playing his guitar.
With her beautiful voice, she sings one cheerful song describing her feelings at the moment.
The passengers there who enjoy the song are indifferent by pretending to sleep. He continued to sing even though he did not know how many dollars he would get today.
He was already quite full because his heart was currently blooming to meet a beautiful woman as tender as Ana.
The song stopped, he took out a package of used plastic candy as his container to ask for a dime from passengers who were still on the bus.
Some give and some just raise their hands.
"Thank you..thank you!" He said, bowing his body half respectfully and then getting off the city bus turned to another city bus with a different direction.
