My mom has prepared food for friend of mine. He names Erick
Risanawan. I have recognized him for three years. I first time met him when I take
apart a national competition. So, I am going to narrate my story about that.
When
I was a student of senior high school in second grades, I was chosen by vice
headmaster to take apart in Olympian Astronomy as a representative from my
school in level of regency. I did not why he chose me because I did not have capability
in astronomy. I knew that I was a student of social class but I just got some common
subject, not specific, like economics, geography, sociology, accountancy, etc.
Astronomy was taught in geography but I just got little knowledge about
astronomy in class. You know what happened about competition in regency. A
miracle was happening in that time when I was doing many questions on paper
that I was capable finishing all
questions because I did not know true answers, I just guessed one by one using
my feeling. Vice headmaster said that it was recognized in order to select some
representatives in Olympian Astronomy in level of province. When I was in class
he accosted and greeted me, he congratulated me that I was selected as a representative
in Olympian Astronomy in level of province in which it will be held in Cianjur,
in a hotel. All friends of mine clapped to me and it made me so shy. When my
departure has came, I and vice headmaster went to regency office in Ciamis with
driving motorcycle. During the trip, I felt sleepy, I almost slept on seat of
his motorcycle. Arriving there, I was surprised because many people were waiting for me. We all prayed directly
and I did not rest or break first though. I said goodbye and thank to my vice
headmaster because he was willing to walk me for free. For the first time, I
was in fancy car which is owned by Ciamis regency. During the trip I did not
speak anything, I was only silent until I endeavored to speak to someone who was
sitting next to me. I accosted and greeted him. After I asked his name he told
me that his name was Erick Risnawan. He came from Banjarsari and he became a
representative of Technology Computer from his school. The other representatives
just neglected me and they seemed so cocky. Maybe it occurred because I was
from a far area that frankly I was not proper to take apart a competition like
that. When our all group stopped in a restaurant I went to public toilet and I
asked Erick to wait me for a moment because I did not want to be forsook. I was
so glad because he was such a godly young men that he treated me very well. He
was so neat and respectful. When our car quited for a while to pray dzuhur in
the mosque I endeavored to speak with the other representatives but they were
still like before, treating me with bad attitude. I was amazed because a place
in which would be used for the competition was amazing. It was completed with swimming
pool, park, hall, etc. It was my first time stepping in a hotel. All representatives
were divided in some group of bedroom. Erick and I were in same bedroom
accidentally. In the bedroom I was ever be "imam" for praying 'isya.
I boasted myself because I was like a leader from a little village in front of
smart people there. He introduced someone for me who had same competition, of
course it was about Olympian Astronomy. She named Sugiarti. We studied together
in balcony. That night I tried my hardest in order to learn all titles on my
astrological book that I borrowed from library. A day that I had been waiting
for it came, I would compete my knowledge about Astronomy with smart people from
different city in West Java. The last day, all representatives were walk around
hotel. Unfortunately, I did not take a photo there because I did not have smartphone
or a mobile phone that was completed with feature of camera. We were there three
days and we were so happy.
That
is my real story how I can meet my best friend ever because after that competition,
Erick always communicates me hitherto. Even when I was cutting grass Erick
texted me, he asked me where I would continue my study after graduating from
senior high school. I was comfortable because he has been studying in
Yogyakarta as well, like me. In Yogyakarta, I am always accompanied by him and he
often invites me in order to hang out or play around Yogyakarta. Today, he visited
to my home. I was really happy. Thank for everything, Erick Risnawan, hopefully
our relationship will always continue until we die.
