You Are My Heaven

That morning in the countryside near Bandung, Cindy cycled with gusto. a burst of morning sunshine creeping through the leaves of the acacia trees that grew along the road. Cindy, a 16 year old teenage girl, with curly hair, brown skin, a simple face without any make up, because she is indeed a little ignorant to her appearance. At first glance, there was nothing special about the girl. For the first time, she wore a white and gray uniform after a month of junior high school graduation. Cindy couldn't wait to go through her high school days. Suddenly the sound of a motorcycle horn startled her. "Hi Cindy ... congratulations on being a high school student" A familiar voice to her. "Huh ... you just surprised me!" Andrew is Cindy's senior and neighbor. This guy has a slightly dark skin and well-built body, his posture is athletic just like a bodybuilder. Andrew was the one who introduced SMA Permata Bangsa to Cindy. Permata Bangsa High School is the favorite school in the area, the school fees are also very expensive, because of God's grace, Cindy's father managed to get a bonus from his boss so that Cindy can go to school there. "Cindy, I'll just go on a motorcycle tomorrow, it's quite a long way to ride a bicycle ..." Andrew offered a service while slowing down the bike. "No need, thank you .... it's okay to ride a bicycle, do some sports ... please go ahead! Cindy refused. Andrew looks disappointed. "Okay then .... I'll wait until you want, I'll go ahead ..." Andrew pulled the gas on his motorbike and slowly began to disappear around the corner. In his heart Andrew is also disappointed, because Andrew has been long time have a feeling to Cindy, only that moment he can go to school together, but Cindy's attitude is too ignorant to him, so Andrew always keeps his feelings in his heart. A tall school building stretched out majestically in front of Cindy, her lips were smiling with gratitude. His junior high school was not as good as it is now, from the looks of it, Cindy is sure there are many rich kids in it. A little doubt arose in his heart, could she compete with the students there? Meanwhile, Cindy realized that she was just an ordinary girl, whose dad was just an ordinary, less famous factory employee. "God ... I can do it ..." she whispered to herself. The crowd of new students seemed to fill the lobby where the class placement announcement was made. Not wanting to join the crowd, Cindy took a walk around the school garden. From a distance he heard the faint music of the piano, the voice so attractive to Cindy. Cindy immediately curious where the voice came from. It was getting more clearly of the piano sound until she was standing in front of a room. Above the door was the word 'Music Room'. Slowly Cindy opened the door. Cindy was stunned for a long time enjoying the songs that were so beautiful to her, the songs she had known before. She felt so peaceful. "Oh my God ....! Why is this heart so touched, who is the person who plays it?" she whispered to herself. Suddenly the song stopped, Cindy gasped, a cute boy with a shady face with sharp eyes, white skin and very handsome and in a neat uniform smiling at her nodding his head. There was a strange shiver in Cindy's chest. "Sorry .... I entered the wrong room ...." Cindy said nervously. The boy just smiled. Cindy hurriedly left the room and then ran back to the lobby. "Hi ... what are you doing in the music room? !!" Suddenly a voice forced Cindy to stop in her tracks, then she looked back. A beautiful girl in the same uniform as herself was standing with a very sharp gaze. "Hi ... I'm a new student, Cindy.... I'm just walking around ..." Cindy greeted with a friendly smile, but the person in front of her didn't smile back. "Don't you ever go into that music room and see the person in it ..." she threatened. Cindy was stunned. "Why?" "Because the person over there is mine!" ********** Cindy was stunned to see that the lobby was getting quiet. She looked for her name on the noticeboard. After he found her name and classroom, she immediately ran to find where her class was. Still ringing in Cindy's ears, the piano music she had just heard. "Who exactly is that cute guy? Why did she see him for the first time my heart was shaking so much? Why does he look so special from all the boys I've ever known?" Cindy muttered. The chair in class 1A is almost full, but in the very front corner bench it looks still empty, Cindy rushes to the empty bench. Next to him sat a pretty cute girl, with straight shoulder-length hair and glasses. From a distance, the girl seemed to smile at her. "Can I sit here? No one has taken it yet ..." Cindy said with a smile. "Of course you can, what's your name?" welcome the girl kindly. Immediately she stretched out her hand. "Cindy" Cindy smiles saying her name as she shook the girl's hand. "My name is Lisa, I'm graduated from SMP Permata Bangsa too. Nice to meet you, Cindy ..." Immediately Cindy sat on her chair. That day she felt very happy. On the first day of school, she met a new friend with whom to chat. Lisa has a lot in common with Cindy, which makes Cindy feels very happy to meet Lisa. Suddenly a girl entered the class, with the cheers of classmates, it seemed like she was a famous person. Cindy gasped when she saw the girl's face. "That ... that's ... that is a girl I met earlier ..." Cindy said. The moment their eyes met each other, there was a very sharp glare from the girl's eyes, as if they harbored dislike even though they didn't know each other yet. "Lisa .... who is she .... our classmate?" Cindy whispered softly. "She is Merry ... the most beautiful girl in a generation ... and the most arrogant too ... be careful not to make trouble with her ..." Lisa explained. ************* Without realizing it, Cindy has been studying at Permata Bangsa High School for a month. His friendship with Lisa is getting closer. In many ways they have something in common, they are also very compatible and compact. They are always together everywhere. Lisa seems to give color to Cindy's life, among all the students here, Lisa is the simplest girl but has a smart brain. According to Lisa's story, she was able to continue studying here because of the scholarship from the school for her intelligence. "Thanks Lisa, I thought in this school I wouldn't have any friends ... Understandably, I used to go to a cheap place. Because of God's grace, I am able to go to school here, meet and become your friend. Even though I know here the girls are beautiful and of course they are all rich, right ... " Cindy chirped as they ate in the canteen. Lisa smiled. "Ah, you’re just kidding... I am the same like you, Cin ... got a gift, but in different forms. There are things that make me survive here, but honestly I actually can't stand it if I follow the behavior of the students here. ... like ‘an event’ to show off something, change this for a while, change it ... new cellphone, new car, new style, new hair ..... I'm actually sick of all this, Cindy .... "Lisa told the story while eating fried rice. Cindy was stunned and stopped eating. "How bad is it Lisa? I think you enjoy it here ... if you know what makes you survive here Lis ...? Aren't you bored going to school here? People as smart as you can go to school anywhere. what you want ... after all, this is not the only best school ... you can get a scholarship anywhere .... even in the city of Bandung .... "Lisa stopped her food, her eyes looked far ahead. "There is someone who attracts my heart Cindy .... I'm actually ashamed of you. It looks really ridiculous, I like something that is not possible ... just forget it.... why am I even talking about it" Lisa continues eating. "Who is it Lisa ... please tell me .... I’m curious ..." "I'll tell the person later .... but promise, you won’t tell anyone about him and don’t fall in love with him, okay ...." "I won’t do that to you .... just calm down, I'm not easy to fall in love .... except ..." Cindy interrupted, suddenly she remembered a boy playing the piano in the music room on the first day of school. "Except who, Cindy??" Lisa is curious. "There ... I'll also tell you who it is ... now it's still a secret ..." they both laughed out loud. Cindy hasn't told about her meeting with the person in the music room, actually Cindy was about to ask Lisa about it, but somehow Cindy stopped her intention. ***********
