special relationship to the level of the more decisive.
It is an honour for
the graduation, the rector and his mother's pleasure to present, he was always

wearing long pants and a white T-shirt, the hair covered with a white cloth, etched
makeup is thick with whiskers of mice that ridiculous eyebrow pencil. Relina

than enough to arouse appetite. Murni also cook super noodles mixed mushrooms,
chips and jelly and syrup.
Mats have been laid
in the middle of the room, the dish is ready, Soraya lead citizens to pray. A
moment when all citizens have turn scoop dish, Relina staring out the
door, she caught a glimpse of a girl with long hair white dress walked across
the hall towards the hall. The move was floated as she set foot on the floor.
Relina never recognize such a girl, she was like Cica, but it certainly is not,
Cica never wore a white dress, she would have turned to the room when passing
in front of the door. The form did not even seem real, more like a film
negative shadow. Relina silent, she recalled the story of a ghost that has
always circulated by word of mouth, perhaps earlier figure is one form of the
story.
The meal continues
to pass the quiet hours, Relina should pack the dishes, clean the whole room,
the next day as usual she was washing dishes, bowls, and glasses dirty. Room
cleaning and all cutlery has become commonplace for Relina, she never objected.
Murni and Dita did not say much Relina manner, they do not justify nor condemn.
After the whole room and corridor clean Relina getting ready to go to college, she
was get book when some people came to the room to see Murni.
"Ma'am Murni,
where clothes for me?"
"For me as

"Me too, thank
you!"
Needless to say, the

silk fabric, sports shoes, and bookshelves. Relina received a black skirt,
white blouse, blouse with plaid purple, pencil, and a complete set of folding
knife with a spoon and fork. Soraya and residents of Block E are also coming in
asking for rations. Murni sincerely share the clothes that had been prepared, she
will understand the custom of the people boarding at parting. And he had to beg
to seniors who have graduated and had to leave the hostel.
Finally Murni
goodbye, walking around from room to room, she would apologize for any errors that
may have been done. Relina get a quiet room atmosphere when Murni is really
gone, she often gives a warning with harsh words, indeed it attitude. While the
message on a white paper with the same exact scrape blade skinned. However,
Relina never know Murni hate, they just do not have a longer time to get to
know each other. Relina also feel sad when Sartika been to go room to take
leave, the new graduate about to return to Bali for work in the area of origin.
Hannah was still living in the dorms to do co-assistant for more than two years
later after taking oath, Hana will also be visiting from room to room to take
leave to go.
After the death Murni,
Dita moved to Murni bed as the bed, she
moved too personal belongings arranging the cupboard and a desk originally used
Murni. Then Relina, she moved to the bed which was originally used, Dita. Now,
they were alone.

recent years the block E always get first place in the race hygiene blocks.
Block E has fresh flowers and ornamental plants and hanging pots that no other
block, this advantage is a plus. The jury could see that the whole room and
block clean and tidy, but the beauty that is created from ornamental plants and
flowers alive the added value that can not be bargained.
Dita started to
tidy up around the room, remove all dust with a damp cloth, arranging books,
decorate walls and table with handicraft hands. "Re, we must begin to tidy

race hygiene, neatness and beauty of the room also adds assessment. Our room
was not neat enough, but should also be beautiful, we have a champion. Let's

organize the room and all personal belongings neatly. Some people are passing
in front of the room noticed them, they also do the same soon.
Judging the
competition cleanliness and room block will be gorgeous in the afternoon, the
morning that all people without exception busy cleaning the rooms and corridors
of the block respectively. The entire flower pot in block E has shiny green by
moss paint is still fresh. The flowers looking fresh and well maintained. The table cloth has been replaced as well with

The jury began visiting from block to block and from room to room, dorm

half-rap, half-sarcastic. They have been advised of the victory of the block E

The jury seemed

to visit the dormitories in order the jury race hygiene and beauty as well as a
block of rooms. There are a few notes before we announce the winners: First,
that all the blocks and the rooms are clean and neat in principle, but there is
added value for the block as well as the winner, for several reasons. Among
other things, the beauty of decorating the block with a variety of plants and decorate
the room with art objects. Secondly, there are some very impressive things,
that many of the people who put pictures of the parents on a desk or wall.
There was one room with a different ornament at each place residents, one
resident put the sign of the cross while people in the same room displaying
calligraphy. This shows the lack of tolerance in the dorm life. Third, there
are some rooms that puts objects should not, as under the table while the shoe
is placed on a table laid out food, this is not healthy. Finally, this race is
principally aimed at maintaining the cleanliness of the hostel in totality.
Should not only clean dorms at the race, but also in everyday life. The winners
may not be great head while the losers do not be discouraged. In the race for
sure nothing to lose and there is also a win. So thing, that the jury's
decision can not be contested, "the whole room silent, all waiting in
suspense who should come out as winners.
"Okay, now

"The first

Soraya began clapping, she could not help but scream and clap loudly followed
by Block E the other residents.
"First-prize

atmosphere again.
"Finally, the
first prize with a value of three hundred and eighty-five won by the block
..... Block where would it be? "Jury riddles. The atmosphere became quiet.
"E. Block
..." came the voice of the humming softly.
"Well, the
first prize with a value of three hundred and eighty-five was achieved by block
E", the silence was shattered by the explosion instantly cheers and
applause, especially from residents block E. Part of the sportive people
involved clapping and laughing, but some are disgruntled, unhappy, and less
envy. "Up here the announcement of the winners, once again the jury's
decision can not be contested. Thank you. "
Not long after the
meeting is completed and even then, the committee dies natalist drove back to
the jury at the front gate with all gratitude. Residents of Block E again
gathered to celebrate the victory, they cook super noodles to a large bowl and
eat them together. Relina, the new residents slowly began to dissolve in the
dorm life together.
While other
activities and continue to follow the race in accordance with the scheduled
agenda. The series closes with evening art events attended by the rector and
her mother and other invitees. Finally, the evaluation committee held
accountable for all that has been given the mandate.
So life in the dorm
continues, the main activity of the people is to learn, while various
activities especially in celebrating graduation day, dies natalist, acceptance
of new residents, religious activities also involve the presence of coloured men
hostel at once to test the creativity and ability of citizens to appreciate
the advantages beyond the ability to pursue a graduate diploma. In the absence of
such activities hostel atmosphere will die, be tenuous relationship between
citizens and each individual will be apathetic.
As with any other
residents who live Dita day after day with one main goal, completed the study.
Dita is a degree candidate majoring in agricultural social economy, she had
undergone eighty per cent of the learning process. There are two things she
should be doing, to follow Field Work and complete the thesis with a proposal
that has been approved. Dita smart student, she did not experience problems in
matters of learning. Lecturers loving, open time and support for thesis
writing.
Thesis is often a
"ghost" for some students, so some of them are giving up, failed to
gain a bachelor's degree after many back and forth to campus to saturate the
liver flavour. Dita was having trouble on this one, the problem is only a matter
of time for her thesis, she will soon finalize and get an A after the Field
Work. Overnight Dita "puppet" studying all night for the last
semester exam preparation. She returned from college in a state of tired, but
happy, because the whole matter can be done well, she will not get a grade of
C. Fatigue makes Dita starvation, after she ate lunch dishes in the dining
room, a sense of sleepy come.
Moments after
putting the bag lectures and dressed with negligee Dita drift, the girl fell
asleep so soundly, until she felt the atmosphere had changed into a dark light.
Relina afternoon to go to college and go straight to the cinema to watch her favourite artist's actions, she would not be back in the evening. Dita awake in
shock when she suddenly saw a shadow boy noticed the whole middle of the room
and stared at him for long. Dita moment failed to win the whole consciousness,
she began shouting frantically, "Hey ....!! you're a ghost or a human??!!
"
"I'm human
....!" The little boy apparently no less surprised than Dita, she did not
think that a man who was sleeping soundly can be awake and screaming with the
sudden frenzy. The boy rose ran helter-skelter, apparently fearing arrest and
interrogation. Residents dormitories famous grumpy and fussy, she did not dare
to take risks.
Dita glued, it
takes several minutes to realize its existence, the room in the room had been
turned into a dimly lit, as the lights dim. Dita getting out of bed, she
pressed a switch located near the door frame, so that the space in the room was
lit up. She was also lit the lamp in the hall, the darkness immediately pulled
over. The atmosphere in the quiet block, in contrast to the atmosphere, when
Murni is still there. Murni is very fond of cooking and food shopping, she
never difficult to meet food needs, as Murni never enjoyed cooking alone. She
will call all citizens or anybody there to assemble a meal together.
Dita won powdered
milk mixed with brown sugar and then fix with hot water that is stored in a
thermos. Hot water will be filled every night by a cook, thermoses that has
been vacant brought down to the kitchen is placed on a large table. In the
early morning, the empty flask will be filled again, there are hands that cook
responsible for it.
The girl drank
chocolate milk slowly until the glass is empty and even then already. Dita
looked dark atmosphere in front of her with all her hopes, she the daughter of
a farmer who survive from the garden. Dita never regret a fate that followed, she
has a mother who loves father, parents who think simple and aware of everything
that can not be possessed and owned. Each month the mother send a money order
in the amount is minimal, Dita had to downsize, she can walk to go to college,
the distance from the hostel to the campus not far away. Lucky, she has a sharp
mind, the supervisor offered him as an assistant, that means after graduation
thesis tested again she will be hard to find a job. Opportunities as professors
have grasped in the hand. Dita writing articles in the newspaper, even though she
was an agricultural degree candidate, but his attention was never spared from
the national situation keeps changing. Honour received from the media relating
to the writing used sparingly, she would need more than the cost to complete
the thesis and to fund corruption. Parents will not be able to give more than a
given pocket money every month.
Dita enjoy solitude
in the corridor, she was not too happy to join with the residents of the hostel
blocks. All actions are always suspected, she hangs out with anyone without
distinction as to race, religion, and class. She was very friendly with Murni,
a devout Catholic to the bone marrow, she also attended a series of events
organized to celebrate Christmas in a Christian citizen. She was cordially
invited to eat with good information, which is clear of dishes and can not be touched. She was still a Muslim,
even though being in the middle of the Christians.
However, some nosy
mouth to whisper, that it tends to be a Christian and intend to convert.
Residents of the block to the other room for any purpose is always supervised,
Dita offended. Religion is a businessman and God, not between man and another nosy mouth. She founded pray five times as a form of accountability, not the
fear of members of the community, that she did not become a true Muslim.
Gradually suspicions
of nosy mouths never proof, Dita still friends with anyone citizens reaching out
in friendship. Although nosy mouths were no longer speak, but Dita restraint, she
took as a student the right to occupy this building, it has a requirement for
it. The rest she concentrated on learning, steps to achieve a bachelor's degree
and a career as a lecturer pioneering live span. Given this Dita will smile, she
has a goal, to fund his parents went to the Holy Land. Dita understands how her
mother and father will miss it.
The clock showed
eight o'clock, but Dita and all the
other people do not hear the sound of the gong struck. Customers visiting
preoccupation chatted and had left the room before nine in the evening with a
rebuke from the board. Mr Badi, the night watchman forgot to close the door
and windows of the living room. The next morning a small commotion going on,
the board boarding confusion, the usual gong was beaten as a sign of quiet
hours are no longer dependent on the place, a night watchman near the bed which
is located next to the food warehouse.
"How gong to
disappear?" Sunarti amazed at this little event, why thieves should take
the gong instead of value. Strange, but that's the reality. With the help of
some residents, Sunarti gong around trying to find the hostel, but the noun
"antique" is still not found. Eventually, they gave up.
From the top floor
Dita looked amused this incident, she also wondered why gong, worthless objects
that could be stolen. Who is the culprit, but the kids are fun. Dita remembered
the little boy looked at her while she was asleep and ran scared when asked,
are you a ghost or a human being? The whole dorm knew that young boys who often
play around the dorm, and even use the volleyball court to play football in the
wild, often commit petty theft such as flower pots or any objects that lay
on the table. Most likely culprit boy, what a little boy watching the people
boarding asleep if it were not for harm. But how did the gong could be
recovered, the identity of the little boy and even then is not known?
"Mr Badi,
what would be the guardian of the night, it could disappear if the gong?"
Dita asked the night watchman who was sitting smoking a cigarette in the living
room engrossed in the administration. Dita thought the night watchman would be
confounded, because of his error, but it did not.
"It’s just the
lost gong , why confused? The important
thing is not sister Dita are stolen.
Stuff it was time move, there will be a return ", casually Mr Badi still
smoke cigarettes, he knows people will continue to question the dorm gong
missing. It has been a dozen years as a night watchman in place and recognize
almost all residents temperament. Dita including citizen-friendly and can
respect anyone who was in the hostel. Various events have imprinted, he is a
living testimony to all the changes that have and will happen in the dorm.
During this event, there was never really dangerous. If only a gong to
disappear, whatever the problem is?
Dita knows, she
does not need a night watchman fight tongue with this one, he had to rush to
the dining room, reading the morning newspaper, breakfast with menu are. She
should read thicker books she had borrowed from the library to complete the thesis.
Today there is no agenda on campus, it's Saturday is coming in a few hours
Sunday night, word would come to visit, she had promised to go to a theatre in
the Art Building.
Dita’s boyfriend
–Firman-- is a student majoring in
architecture, they have promised to enter the stage of marriage after college
Dita finished. They already have the determination, both have the same weight
busyness. On a typical day, they settle all matters on campus, on a Saturday
night or a Sunday on their days off they just met. Both Dita and the Firman was
bet to play around with time.
After putting dirty
dishes on the table, Dita rushed back to the room. She was wearing a purple
skirt with a white blouse loose bone from cotton fabric. Regulations do not
allow people to eat dorm menu in the dining room wearing shorts or in
circumstances covered face mask. The dining room as well as a place to
communicate and establish familiarity among fellow citizens, mild-mannered
appearance is set to establish communication.
Towards the weekend
Dita's face brightened, she has spent one full week to pursue literature, take
exams, and a "puppet" to get the best results. Tonight will come to
relax, she still had a few hours to read a book in the room, and she diligently
did. Relina have to fix the rest of the rooms and the corridor then out of the
bathroom in a fresh condition when Dita began to diligently read.
Relina began to
move in front of the mirror, applying a cleansing milk, wipe it with a tissue,
applying toners, moisturizers, foundation, and start applying face powder
compact. He was polishing his legs and arms with hand body lotion, combing
hair, lingering conducted herself in a mirror and then brewing syrup diet. Her
weight looks blooming a few pounds, the clothes felt tight, she becomes
uncomfortable with her appearance.
While Dita
diligently read, Relina seemed to go back and forth with a glass of syrup on
hand, sit back without doing anything. Dita has repeatedly find Relina
sitting daydreaming blankly, the girl might be dreaming, wishing, perhaps
regret, or do not know, the obvious conclusion Relina Dita has a problem that
can not be resolved. Or Relina middle "dreaming". Behind snobbery Re
basically keep a fragile soul, Dita memorized all the things that made the girl
from the morning until the next morning. Wrong if he give input?
"Sorry Re, I
hardly ever see you study hard, you're more likely to spend time sitting
pensively. The opportunity only comes once, the clock can not be turned back
retreat. We better wake up and face the reality of how bad then sleep and dream
no matter how beautiful ", while Dita stops the diligence to read and
speak.
Relina fascinated
with words, she seemed to awake from the illusion that all is slowly, but
surely cheating. Dita Relina know how diligently prepare each assignment and
exam, she realized she had to spend more time imply-if. Of course, you never
know Dita sits the real issue, he did not need to know. Any trail that takes
her footsteps to this place has become a note that does not need a secret known
to anyone, because it would not change anything.
However, Dita’s advises was true? The advice is very
rational for her to be realistic as well as finding solutions to any problems
encountered. "Thanks for the advice, I'll try."
The following days
are often seen Relina started reading a
book or working paper earnestly. Occasionally Re seemed to read fiction, go all
day for recreation, but the seriousness of learning does not disappear. Re was not as arrogant as she had imagined, a
person's appearance does not entirely reflect her heart. Re so love to shop to get snacks, she did not
spend it alone, she always shared. While the room is neat and shiny. They seem to be able to adjust to each other. But ....
***
This day Dita pack
all the equipment for the purposes of corruption, she got a location in a
farming village, in a foot of the mountain between Yogya-Waterford. She will go
straight to the field and get a fun new experience. Group will depart by driving
a bus at 15.00 pm, now at 11.17. She still had a few hours and talk in familiar before departure. Field Work will last for
three months, she only has permission to return to the campus twice in the
framework of the administration with the administration. She had to restrain
herself not to meet with the word.
The entire
equipment is almost ready, but Dita needs one thing, a marker to write the name,
so that the goods are not to be confused with other students. She did not have
stationery, but she had seen in study table Relina. Dita began to search, study
table Relina glass coated with a series of photographs and drawings arranged
artistically on the bottom. The whole book notes, literature, paper, cosmetics,
antiques and all artefacts neatly in place. But it is not easy to find markers,
Dita kept looking, her attention suddenly riveted on a leather-bound diary with
golden bus on its edges. The book looks elegant, golden ribbon sticking out of
the pages of the book. Dita had never seen Relina to her book, there is an
uncontrollable urge that ruled her hand reached for the book. The girl's face
looked as if she were wondering when she began to open the cover first. A
series of sentences neatly etched, Dita knew it Relina handwriting:
I've
never been able to forget, except when memory loss. That period has been
petrified into pieces. If I can get it back ....
Dita forehead wrinkled
with that sentence. She goes to open the next page. Then her hands moved back
opening page of the book is thin striped smooth.

I
can never forget the mother's face, a face that could only be familiar to a
black and white piece of paper that is increasingly blurred. The more I try to
forget the more I remembered. I never understood why what led me to leave my
father's mother who gave birth. Every time I asked my father's face turned into
a rock-hard, I'm afraid. I never felt a father's strong hand landed hard on my
cheek. Fear beyond the stinging pain, I was stuck in a puzzle, but I realized I
would never be entitled an answer.
Finally, I chose silence.
Dita stunned, row
sentence her head as if stung by a flock of bees. She never guessed this past
Relina, she always kept to herself. Apparently she has a "friend"
familiar to speak. Dita could not help but read the next record, Relina have
the ability to write an entrancing.

I
always try to love Maya, a sister who was born my father's wife. Maya grew
into a beautiful girl, intelligent with smeared all love both parents. I never
had a reason to hate Maya, because she was also a child of the biological
father. However, each saw it spoiled my father and mother, I feel left out.
Maya get all the warmth in the family, the one thing that has been missing in
absolute since my childhood. Maya was never awkward in any situation dealing
with a father and mother. However, I was a stepchild of the birth mother Maya.
There is a gaping chasm that is increasingly getting in, the distance which
eventually turned into hatred.

Even
though a stepmother, but I have a good stepmother, she always sent enough
allowance and tuition on time. I can not complain about this one. My stepmother
was a very beautiful woman, she is always dressed like a mother officials at an
official meeting. Dad should be proud to have a wife like a mother. Besides
clever ornate, mother also a good cook and take care of the house. My house is
small and neatly arranged, mother and Maya diligently planting flowers anyway.
She also produced jewellery business and then manage your finances well. What is
not owned by my mom or stepmom?
Today
mom and dad fight, I do not know where the dispute originated, but had heard
the mother cries, the father had an affair with a woman who does not behave
well, maybe she was a prostitute. Mother did not cry, she spilt dramatically
anger as he was acting in the theatre. In the room I sat shivering with Maya,
we were scared and crying silently.

It
has been over a week of tense atmosphere in the house, the mother chose
silence, her beautiful face seemed sad and in pain. I showed sympathy to the
mother by helping to complete homework, cooking, washing dishes, washing the
floor, taking care of plants, and massaged his body. Actually I came on
vacation to find peace, to live as a child of boarding was not as easy as she
had imagined. But the atmosphere in the house I get just the opposite. I
wondered, perhaps for that reason is this kind of separation from mom dad and
me to go with him?
And
my stepmother is a strong woman, she was able to deal with the betrayal of the
father senses. Reprimand and a big fight was inevitable. Mother's offer, the
father would choose prostitute's or mother? I know, dad dead lice.

After
weighing, thinking, and reflecting the end I decided my relationship with
Hendra. In the first days, I was feeling so lonely, Hendra had penetrated deep
enough and colour all my days. However, the character of the product remains
Hendra culture east, culture patriakhi, culture which places men as a female
character is broadcaster. Hendra has
always been like a king while I was his servant. My position and Hendra are
both students, we have the status, position, and the same future. Hendra unjust
act like that. With persistent he always pressed so that I can be as he
imagined-might-figure of a celebrity but, I was struggling to find an identity. I
want to be myself!

I
refuse to attend lectures held at the marriage hall campus. For me marriage is
just a cracked mirror, the face and the whole look will split when it should
look in the mirror in front of him. Experience has taught about it. I dreamed
again of the bridal party with a beautiful white dress. I'm just going to live
this life for granted, whether destiny will bring footfalls where, yet God
still reigns over there ....

Life
in the hostel is very unique and strange, as I am a new resident and his
friends contemporaries often treated like a strange creature from another planet.
Actually, what is weird, except that we are not personally well known ....
Dita as if immersed
in a pure confession of one's life filled with mystery, she intends to continue
to dive into the mystery, but a motion capture eardrums. Human shadow flitted
into the room without permission, because this room is where she lives. Dita
heart skipped a beat when she locked eyes with a pair of eyes Relina. Dita felt
a flash of the eyes javelin dug right in the gut, expression is the expression
of anger Relina unbearable.
Dita stand as a
stone, she was a thief who was caught, she regretted her impudence had entered
an area that most private of a person who has the right to asazi. The diary is
the most secret part of an individual that can not be touched by anyone, even
though she was a senior at the hostel and Relina is a new citizen. However,
regrets never come at the right time.
On the other hand,
felt a flood of lava craters Relina grease dripping down her face when she
found a sassy Dita was reading the diary without her permission. Even if Dita
asked permission to read the note, then she would never allow. She would never
let anybody tear apart his private area. Relina knows there are times when she
should be able to forgive others, but there is also time for a lesson.
She was fully aware
when she raised her hand high up and
then put a hard slap right in the Dita’s cheek. Relina do this with the rest
of her convictions, she would not let anyone insult her personal life. No one!
"Plakkk!"
Dita shrieked,
clutching her cheeks felt hot and sore, she never thought Relina be able to do
this. There has been no record of new residents to commit acts of violence
against seniors. But how Dita can provide self-defence, she started her fault, she
has acted to exceed the limit offence. And Relina very convinced her to make
amends.
Relina think Dita
will respond with a strike, she has prepared for all possibilities. However,
Dita just ducked, she knees, sobbing, and then went to leave the room. Relina
never wonder where Dita goes, she did not have to ask.
The girl regained
a diary that he had inadvertently put on the table. She always wrote notes every day in solitude and then locked the book in the drawer. Yet, people still
careless, she rushed down to the living room for a call from a college friend. She
missed on a personal book, the sassy Dita finally read it. What is already
known to the girl? Dita too presumptuous!
Relina decided to
go to Malioboro to remove the annoyance, then she went around the city with no
destination in mind and come back late at night after Dita away and be quiet
room atmosphere. Once again she had to return seized with a feeling of hatred
named! Relina think Dita will report this incident to the hostel caretaker, she
will get a warning as well as warnings. However, apparently, no one in the dorm
who knew about the incident that occurred in the room a few hours before Dita
go fieldwork. For a while the walls of the dormitory silenced. Relina need a
few days to calm down she had to return focus to the tasks and routine boarding
school that never dropped from month to month.
During the three
months immersed in the bustle Dita corruption, she never went back to the
hostel. When the corruption ends and she passed away to the same place, Relina
attending middle ground in Lampung, they never met. Dita still feels giddy with
incidents that occurred between her and Re, she was sworn not to tell this
incident to anyone, because the story would only laugh at his stupidity.
Finally when Relina
back from college the field, she was stunned. The girl was found in an empty
room Dita, no piece of yarn is left on a table, bed, wardrobe and the wall in
the corner office. What was valid? Where
is Dita? Relina shortly undergo surprise, because Soraya coming. 'Re sorry,
there was a message from Ms Dita, she left abruptly. Coming home from fieldwork Firman’s father died before the death of his last word requests was for
the marriage. Therefore married Miss
Dita suddenly in front of the body, and there is no verbal invitation formal
invitation. Some residents came to represent. Once married, people practically
had to leave the hostel, Firman just wait for graduation, he found work in
Tangerang, Ms Dita participate. He only lived finishing thesis and can be done
through consultation. Now Ms Dita in Tangerang, she can not touch, because it
does not know the phone number where you can be contacted to take leave. "
The words were
short and quick, but for Re, it has changed the meaning of the sentence as a
dream. The last time she met with Dita was when she sent a hard right hand to
the parts of her cheeks, she did not think long about the impact of her
actions, she was emotional, she lost control. Three months separated by Dita in
the corruption apparently also never assuage her anger, she still imagined Dita
face with hate pop at its peak. Now, the people who hated take leave left
without a word, because of busy respectively. Relina never know if one day she
will be met with Dita? Is there she would still hate her?
Still ringing in
the ears Relina Dita words, ".... you better face the truth no matter how
bad awake than asleep and dreaming of how wonderful it ...." mouth
stringing pretty words that are now being similarly passed away with the
personal. Relina feel her breath shortness, life is changing rapidly turbulence
are like a pickaxe.
"Re, did you
hear what I said?" Soraya looked surprised, she did not know and will
never know, who was raging heavy thoughts in Relina mind.
