1 - Daffa and Blue City

Talk about a trail reminiscent of a scratch

I looked around, orange sparkle adorned the evening sky. It was clear that a shadow was reflected on the puddle. Until when will I be trapped in the maze of the past? Really, I want to forget, the man who in the past year created a beautiful memory point.

Usually, this rainy exhausted. Brother Daffa series called me said, "Believe me dear 99,9 % rain is not water, but the taste I miss you."

Daffa brother always managed to make me smile, the story that we created with an age gap of two years made me have to let it go. He prefers to continue his studies in Germany and it is certain, I cannot have long-distance relationships.

For almost half an hour I was daydreaming, staring blankly.

Me, Alisya Cantara, a 16 year old little teenager. The memories made with Daffa are so beautiful, help Aiys forget the traces that were painted.

"Aiys, help me," sister Amel's voice broke Aiys's reverie.

Amel, the only sister Aiys has is currently studying in college.

"Yes sis," said Aiys.

"Why long answer? Move it these books into the cupboard!"

Aiys saw a pile of books that rippled the river, starting from Bobo magazines, magazines down and down from little Amel.

"Everything is neatly arranged, don't mess it up," said Amel with a tucked hips.

"Please help sis, don't just order!" Aiys protested.

One thing that is impossible if Amel wants to help, Aiys already knows and understands. Sister boss at home if there are no parents.

"Sis, why was this transferred?" Aiys asked.

Amel looked at Aiys for a moment, "He said daddy wanted to be transferred to work, so it wouldn't be difficult later," he replied casually.

Aiys paused, "Moving on," he repeated.

"Where?" added Aiys.

"I don't know, it's not certain either, there's no need to think about it," said Amel again.

Aiys is a little annoyed, but Aiys is working on it anyway. Aiys stepped into the pile of books. Every book that wants to be picked up, is briefly examined through its cover. An hour and a half has passed, this is the twelfth generation of Aiys moving and composing this family legend book. Aiys decided to take a short break to sit down with the newspaper, Aiys leaned his head against the cupboard. It was as if the wardrobe was ready to accept all the outpouring of her heart. Only a few more generations, let's be excited. Aiys gets up and returns to compile the book that Aiys will move.

When the fourth book is in hand. Instantly, the focus of Aiys eyes was on the brown book, decorated with dried flowers and leaves. Roses and jasmine dominate, the lower right corner are roses, and the upper left corner there are jasmine flowers connected with leaves ; the bones of the leaves.

Memories of the Blue City

The first writing that Aiys read, the first sheet of this book. On the second sheet there is a photo of a man with a woman posing with his arms raised to head level. Two fingers, index and middle finger make up the letter V.

Aiys stare at, again and again. His mind and heart were in contradiction. Without realizing it, water easily dripped from his eye group. Even when the world turns and changes, the memories printed on the photo sheets will remain immortal. Aiys does not hate separation, thank you for creating a trail, Aiys is grateful to have met Daffa. Aiys continued, turning to the third sheet. This little album, a memory from Daffa.

***

Two weeks of high school students and one Archipelago will go a comparative study.

Alisya, who heard the news, quickly alerted Daffa. The senior who is her girlfriend. Her relationship has spread widely, so it's no wonder that Aiys dares to approach Daffa to her class even though Aiys is still a new student.

Arriving in front of her class, Aiys immediately waited in front of the class. Usually, it doesn't take a minute for Aiys to wait for Daffa to come out to meet him. Aiys is just an ordinary teenager, with new students again. While Daffa, students excel at school. Aiys was also surprised, why are you close so easily with Daffa. Moreover, considering his introverted self.

"Have you been a long time?" said Daffa .

"Just now, hehehehe."

"Not like usual, come to me. Miss you, huh?" teasing Daffa.

"Yes, miss. Because my true heart has been with you, wkwkwk," said Aiys laughing.

"My heart, is locked in yours too. Don't allow it out!" Daffa gaze is so shady, it makes Aiys melt.

"Brother, there is a comparative study. Do you know?" Aiys asked.

"Yes, you already know. Actually, you want to go to your class, but you already arrived."

Daffa escorted Aiys to the class, along the school corridor, many gazes toward the two of them. Some were shouting silently and some saw one eye.

The comparative study committee continues to maximize preparations, until the next day that I was waiting for. The long journey tomorrow makes Aiys have to quickly rest so that tomorrow is fresh, if Aiys mariposa.

Eating a lot, sleeping, waking up is beautiful.

              In the morning, the comparative study participants had gathered in the school yard while waiting for the school bus to arrive. This morning is quite cold, Aiys has been putting her palms together looking for warmth.

"Aiys.." Said Keysa, Aiys only friend.

"Yes, what's wrong, Key? It's really cold," said Aiys.

"Which car did you turn into?" asked Keysa.

"One car each brother Daffa hehehehe," answer Aiys while exploring the landscape around looking Daffa. 

"You haven't read the last announcement?" Keysa asked, her eyes rounded.

"What's wrong?" wonder Aiys.

Kesya staring Aiys, "Not can different generation," said Keysa.

"Yes? When? Keep Aiys how?" restless Aiys.

"Try calling Daffa's brother!" Keysa suggested.

"Yes, the right Key, you are really Aiys best friend," he embraced.

"Sometimes," said Aiys, accompanied by laughter.

Aiys directly contact brother Daffa, plant early that in interchanges with mature being swept horns.

[Hello, Brother Daf..] say hello to Aiys when the call connects.

[Yes, Hello Aiys..] Daffa replied.

[Where is brother? He said there could be no different batches of cars. Sob..]

[Brother, behind you.]

Daffa, look straight at Aiys expectantly. In the corner of his eyelid, Aiys can catch it. Now again it's not all right. Aiys iam, our original plan failed miserably.

"Aiys.. Really," he stammered.

"Alright, don't continue,"

"Don't be sad Aiys," Daffa persuaded.

Aiys is still silent for a thousand languages, his mind is confused. Four hours drive, what are Aiys doing during that time? It will be boring. Daydreaming, playing games, sleeping, or .. chat with Keysa.

Yes, Keysa. Who is he sitting with? Aiys not want to be alone, quickly Aiys passed from sight Daffa .

"Where are you going?" he asked.

"I want to find Keysaaa," Aiys replied halfly , because between Aiys and Daffa there was already a distance.

Not until the count of ten, Aiys found Keysa engrossed in her camera beside the car.

"Key, fortunately you're still here," said Aiys while out of breath.

"After your race?" joked Keysa.

"Yes, you can't," frowned. "Btw, who are you sitting with?" Aiys asked.

"With you," raising his eyebrows.

"That's right, thank you," as he hugged her.

When he was about to take a step, Aiys hugged Keysa again. Why can Aiys be this stupid? Aiys almost left Keysa alone. Keysa will not be angry, but with whom he will sit down later. Aiys knows that, Keysa can't be close to classmates except for her. From childhood friends, and Aiys could count the fingers of who had been close to Keysa.

Daffa who saw Aiys go immediately after her, Daffa's steps fell silent to find Aiys and Keysa hugging. With slow steps, Daffa approached Aiys.

"Aiys, I won't let you be sad," said Daffa quietly.

"Brother, call at Mr. Zardi how?" asked Daffa.

"No, no. It's okay to separate. As long as our hearts remain united," Aiys replied softly with a smile.

Even though Aiys really wanted to sit with Daffa, she chose friends or love. It's complicated.

The journey is not as difficult as Aiys imagined. The last route is waterfalls and lakes. Exciting, the words that Aiys can say. Everything is beyond his expectations. Every stop Daffa always approached Aiys. Many memories are created and do not forget to immortalize.

This time, Daffa even took Aiys to the lake side of the lake. Embraced by the sparkling twilight, accompanied by the sound of water, enlivened by birdsong. Daffa gave a small album to Aiys.

"Capture it our memories are here Aiys . I don't want you to be sad, even if that happens. Look at this picture, create that smile again!"
