“ Kenapa kamu mengajakku ke sini ?” tanyaku tapi Bintang tetap diam

“ Ada Bin?” Tolong buka mulutmu kalau kamu pinya masalah certain ke aku dong, pasti aku bakal Bantu kamu.”

“ Rin, aku mau pindah ke Surabaya besok” jawabnya tiba-tiba

Aku sungguh terkejut mendengar hal itu

“ Kenapa ?” tanyaku lagi tak percaya

“ Karena ayahku di mutasikan ke sana jadi aku juga harus ikut, Sebenarnya hal ini sudah ku tahu sejak sebulan yang lalu, tapi ayah meminta izin agar pemindahannya ditunda sampai aku selesai ujian dan sekarang aku sudah selesai ujian.

“ Kenapa kamu gak bilang ke aku sebelumnya?”tanyaku sambil Manahan air mata

“ Aku tidak tahu bagaimana cara memberitahukan hal ini ke kamu”

“ Rin, aku janji akan selalu menghubungimu” jawabnya sambil menatapku

“ Beneran?!”

“ Ya”

Hari perpisahan itu pun tiba

Bintang datang ke rumahku dan memberi ku kado. Dia memberikan gelang yang bertuliskan nama ku dan namanya. Sedangkan aku memberikan sebuah topi. Setelah itu dia megucapkan kata pisah kepadaku dan ibuku.

“ Hati-hati di jalan..”
” Aku harus pergi dan jaga kesehatanmu ya ntar malah kumat lagi magh kamu.Ok!”
Aku melambaikan tangan ke Bintang. Aku menangis sejadi-jadinya di pelukan ibu.

Setelah kita berpisah. Bintang selalu menelponku setiap 3 atau 4 kali seminggu. Dia cerita tentang rumah barunya, sekolah barunya, dan teman-teman barunya. Tapi itu nggak berlangsung lama. Kami kehilangan kontak dan sampai sekarang aku tidak pernah mendengar suaranya lagi.

****

“ Hai, nama ku Dimas Aditya Putra tapi panggil aku Diams aja.” Katanya memperkenalkan diri.

“ Hai, aku Arini Pratista Putri tapi cukup panggil aku Arin”

“ Senang berkenalan denganmu”

“ Aku juga “
Bel sudah berbunyi kami masuk ke kelas. Aku melihat Dimas didekati banyak cewek. Dia benar-benar sudah menjadi idola di Sekolah. Selain ganteng, terbuka, dia juga ramah. Aku duduk dan melihat gelang di tanganku kenang-kenangan dari Bintang. Kenangan-kenangan tentangnya pun kembali memanggilku.
” Tentu aku akan balik lagi, tungguin aku ya..” Kata-kata terakhitr yang diucapkan oleh Bintang saat berpisah.

“ Aku akan nungguin kamu, tapi sampai kapan ?”

“ Hey, kenapa melamun aja?” celotehnya dengan riang

Aku segera menghapus air mataku

“ Hey, kamu bikin aku terkejut aja deh !” jawabku tersenyum

“Kamu nangis?” menatapku

“ Nggak kok tadi Cuma kemasukan debu “

“ O..Aku kira.”

Berjalannya waktu, aku semakin akrab dengannya. Kita sering kerja sama bareng untuk berbagai acara. Dimas semakin memberikan perhatian lebih kepadaku apalagi saat aku jatuh sakit saat PENSI dan sampai akhirnya dia nembak aku.

“ Rin, maukah kamu jadi pacar aku?”

Aku tertawa mendengar ucapannya

“ Aku serius. Aku cinta banget ama kamu “

“ Ok, aku mau jadi pacar kamu” jawab ku tiba-tiba

Aku tidak tahu kenapa tiba-tiba aku berkata seperti itu, mungkin sekarang aku belum punya rasa cinta tapi dengan berjalannya waktu mungkin akan timbul rasa itu.

Selama kami jadian, dia selalu pperhatian kepada ku, dia juga sering ,membantu ibu dan aku di took dan juga sering belajar bareng. Dimas sangat mencintaiku dan aku mulai merasakan hal yang sama meski baru sedikit.

****

Ketika aku sedang mencari-cari buku, aku melihat sesosok yang mirip Bintang, tapi aku gak percaya. Apakah ini benar atau tidak.Aku ingin memanggilnya tapi aku nggak bisa.

Dua hari kemudian aku melihat rumah Bintang sedang diperbaiki. Aku bertanya ke orang-orang disana, tapi mereka juga kurang kenal siapa yang tinggal disana.

Keesokan harinya, ketika aku hendak pergi ke sekolah aku melihat sebuah mobil berhenti tepat di depan rumah Bintang, lalu beberapa detik kemudian keluar seorang wanita dengan seorang cowok yang seusiaku.” Apakah itu Bintang?” “ Apakah aku mimpi?”
nggak, itu benar Bintang.

“ Tante mana Bintang? sudah lama nggak ketemu “ kataku dengan tidak percaya.

“ Ya ampun..ini Arin ya?”

“ Sekarang kamu sudah dewasa dan semakin cantik “memujiku

“ Ah..tante bikin saya malu..”

Sekarang aku bertemu bintang. Aku tidak tahu kenapa jantungku berdegup kencang

Banyak perubahan yang terjadi pada Bintang. Dia semakintinggi, cakep tapi dia agak kurusan. “ Apakah dia sakit?”

“ Hi, apa kabar?”sapaku sambil mengulurkan tangan

“ Baik” jawabnya cuek

Aku meninggalkan rumah Bintang dengan seribu Tanya. Di sekolah aku nggak bisa konsen dengan pelajaran karna memikirkan Bintang.” Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi dengan Bintang?” “Kenapa dia berubah?”

Esok harinya aku datang ke rumah Bintang lagi. Aku bertemu dengna ibunya. Ia menceritakan banyak hal sampai penyebab Bintang berubah

“ Apa?? cerai??” Aku sangat terkejut mengetahui hal itu.

Mama Bintang bilang kalau ayah Bintang punya selingkuhan dan Bintang memilih untuk tinggal di rumah bibinya.Klimaksnya, saat ayah Bintang menikah. Ia menjadi anak yang nakal, sampai dia dikeluarkan dari sekolah dan dia jadi pecandu narkoba. Setelah sembuh, Bintang ingin kembali ke Lampung, dia ingin sekali bertemu dengan ku. Ternyata Bintang sangat mencintaiku.

****

“ Apakah kamu ingat tempat ini?tempat dimana aku nembak kamu?”

“ Ya, aku ingat. terus..?”
” Kita putus aja ya?” Jawabnya tiba-tiba

“ Ulangi! putus? tapi kenapa?” aku sungguh terkejut

“ Aku sangat mencintaimu Rin, sudah 3 bulan kita pacaran tapi aku merasa kalau kamu tidak mencintaiku.”
” Maafkan aku Dim karena telah membohongimu. Kamu orang yang baik, aku nggak tega untuk mengecewakanmu, itulah sebabnya aku nerima kamu”
” Dimas, maafin aku ya..Aku nggak bermaksud untuk melukai perasaanmu.

” Sudahlah, anggap saja hubungan kita ini sebuah percobaan”

“ Terima kasih Dim, kamu cowok yang baik, jadi sepantasnya kamu dapat cewek yang baik juga bukan aku!”

****

Bintang duduk di depan ku

“ Aku tahu, aku salah. Aku akan memperbaiki hidupku. Aku akan membayar semua kesedihan mama dan kamu. Aku bakal jadi Bintang yang kamu kenal” dengan serius

“Apakah kamu mencintaiku?” Tanyaku

“ Sampai sekarang aku masih mencintaimu.” Jawabnya dengan tatapan tajam.

“ Kenapa kamu menjauh dariku?”

“ Maaf aku merasa aku nggak pantes ada di dekatmu dan aku melihat kamu bahagia didekat Dimas” Sambil membelai rambutku dan menangis. Aku menangis di pundaknya.

“ Jangan nagis lagi ya..”Ia menghapus air mataku.

“ Kita mulai dari nol lagi, key!”

“ Katakan sekali lagi jika kau mencintaiku!”
” Aku sangat mencintaimu, Arin” Jawabnya

“ Aku juga Bintang.” Kami saling tersenyum malu.

15 Tips to Help You Feel Pretty!

These 15 tips will help you cop a whole new beauty 'tude!

1. Remember that your outer beauty is a reflection of your inner beauty, so start feeling prettier by making an effort to like your looks. When you start caring about your appearance, you begin to take care of your whole being.

2. Instead of focusing on your flaws, get stoked about your plus points. Whatever your good features are (and everyone has them!)--your big brown eyes, your cute nose or your full lips--take time to appreciate them. It'll go a long way toward bolstering your beauty confidence.

3. Find your fave photo. Get out your scrapbook and search for that picture that shows you at your best. Take a good look...you'll wonder why you were so down on yourself in the first place.

4. Even though it's winter, soak up some rays. Sunshine's known to be a major mood-booster. In fact, in some Northern European countries where the sun rarely shines during winter, people go for light therapy to fight depression. (But sun damage is even more depressing than sun deprivation--be sure to wear sunscreen.)

5. Give your skin some extra special care. When you pamper yourself, it shows. So commit to better daily skincare and give yourself at-home facial for skin-smoothing results.

6. Treat yourself to the latest beauty products. Trying something new can help you put a stop to your beauty-bashing. Check out all the new goodies that can play up your looks and let 'em go to work for you.

7. Color your mood happy. When you're feeling down about what you see in the mirror, don't grab for that gray coat that seems to match your mood perfectly. Put on a bright color to kick you back into gear. For example, try red, the most energetic color in
the spectrum.

8. If it's a bad hair day that's causing you grief, hide your hair scare under a hat and get involved in an energetic activity--anything--that'll get your mind off trashing your tresses.

9. Go for a free makeover. Make your way to the makeup counter of your local department store and ask for some assistance trying new colors. If you always wear shades of plum, tell the sales associate to break out the peach tones for a completely new look. You'll go home with a fab new take on your face.

10. Feel pretty all the way down to your feet with an at-home pedicure. Go as wild as you want! Wear a toe ring or two. Paint each nail a different color, use glitteror sample a shade that you're not quite ready to wear on your hands.

11. Grab a girlfriend and have a glamorfest. You'll be sure to perk up once you see how gorgeous you can really be. Have fun getting dressed (and pull out all the stops

with false eyelashes, screen star 'dos and glitzy duds!), then go out somewhere to flaunt your finery. 12. Grab a few winks. There's nothing that puts your looks into a slump like losing out on your zzzzzzs. What's more, sleep deprivation does a number on your entire outlook. Wake up your perky personality--and give yourself a beauty treat--by catching up on some needed sack time. If you can't get in eight to nine hours a night, try fitting in a short nap.

13. Laugh. You really can't help but feel a lift after a good laugh, and a smile is one of your best beauty accessories. Find your funniest friend or rent a comedy video and watch your spirits rise.

14. Get outta your hairstyle rut. Sometimes you feel less than your best simply because you've stuck with one style way too long. Try a
change of part, or if y ou've always wanted to see how you would look with highlights, now's the time to go for it.

15. Get toned. You're sure to like your looks better when you feel fit and your muscles are defined. So find a fitness regimen that suits your level and get moving!

I Want to

by: Lia

I can't sleep
They talk,dog noise
The workd away
Dark with stone wall
Voice to howl

Beside fire and dust
When I'm going to speak,lost my voice
Energy had flown
Nothing !
The world no way to greet now
I want to love with simple
With words not say yet
Wood to fire make it be dust
I want to love with simple
With clue not say yet
Cloud to rain make it be nothing.

Sriwijaya University to apply

Barcode System

In a bid to increase efficiency and ease monitoring of campus activities, Sriwijaya University in Palembang will apply a barcode system starting next academic year.This will be the first time such a system is applied to a university in South Sumatra।Dean of academic affairs Zulkifli Dahlan said that the new system will be used to record attendance, library services, tuition payments, student registrations and course loads, as well as test numbers। The university is currently preparing a barcoded ID card for students, lecturers, and administrative staffers and installing scanners around the campus."The system will help us to get accurate data in no time," Zulkifli said recently. "Students will no longer cheat on attendance and they will be more disciplined."He said that the system will reduce manual work in recording, collecting and identifying data.
