Pilu is Not My Choice
Prologues
Salma was talking on the phone with her best friend, Dewi.
Salma \= "What's the tumben you call night-night. Is your kangen the same as me?"
Dewi \= "Casual dong mbak, don't be spicy first. I might miss the same. I just want to make sure that you're still on Earth, right?"
Salma \= "Yes I'm still on Earth, you think I'm going where?"
Dewi \= "Maybe you want to go to Mars to look for fragments of your lost organs."
Salma \= "Omongan lo do not matter."
Goddess \= "Lumayanlah make you smile."
Salma \= "Gue is always smiling, don't like you're a little upset."
Dewi \= "If you speak yes.. "
Salma \= "Like right? Never mind, I'm going to sleep pretty first. Nye"
Goddess \= "Hehe Yes. Okay then, Bye Dear."
Tut's.. Tut's.. Tut's..
"Indeed, you are my best friend Wi, who can make me smile even if only for a moment." Salma Mumbles.
"Money Salma.." Rintih Bibi Iyem, the Household Assistant at Salma's house who suddenly came to Salma.
"Yes, what's wrong Bi?" Salma asked as much as possible to smile and turned to Aunt Iyem.
"It's 10 o'clock, Non. Is Non not cold in the air?" Ask Aunt Iyem who is worried about Salma.
"Salma-kan is common here, Bi. Aunty's coming in, Salma wants to be here alone." Said Salma staring at the moon shining brightly.
"Alright, Non. Aunty come in first." Said Aunt Iyem by stepping away leaving Salma alone in the room.
This is where Salma is now, under a thousand stars and a moon in the sky that is clearly visible in the eyes of Salma.
Salma was never absent every night just to look at the night sky with her solitude.
The night sky has always been a witness of Salma's solitude and pain. Salma's tears always flowed under the night sky.
"My soul is like a moon that has many stars on its side, but none of them are the same. The moonlight signifies happiness. However, during the day the moonlight will dim and that is his sorrow, which never moon to anyone." Say Salma with a soft voice and tears that keep dripping on Salma's cheeks.
Salma's cry broke even more as she entered her room.
"Never once have I felt as tender as Mama's touch, after Papa's departure facing the creator." Said Salma who was still sobbing with her cries.

A bright morning wakes Salma who can fall asleep at 2am because of constant crying.
Salma was getting ready to go to school. She always missed her breakfast because she knew, surely her mother had also left for work and did not want to have breakfast with her.
"Mom Boss, his face like a pillow face, sleep deprivation." Ledek Goddess.
"Yes, I like to read novels until I forget time." Salma told a lie.
"Not last night you want to sleep when you hang up the phone. Why do you even read novels? And yes, if you read the novel, remember the time. Time yes, time just don't remember let alone a boyfriend." Temptation Goddess who instantly got a sharp gaze from Salma.
"Peace, I'm kidding." The Goddess raised both her hands.
"As far as you go, I'm going to sleep. Don't bother me." Salma said by confirming his sitting position.
"Since when did this Boss Mom sleep in the classroom? Wow, this rare occurrence." Say the Goddess with her own excitement.
"Lo don't sleep anymore." Said Salma who went out of her seat.
"SALMA, WHERE ARE YOU GOING? SOON TO BE IN CLASS. WOY SALMA'S..." Shouted the Goddess, but not ignored at all by Salma who continued to walk away from the classroom.
Salma walked to the most comfortable place in the school under a tree in the back of the school.
Salma sat down in the tree. He also closed his eyes to feel the breeze that felt cool and calm Salma's heart.
Salma had been under the tree for too long, not knowing the bell had rung since.
In his tranquility, Salma felt someone leaning beside Salma, but Salma was silent and still felt the coolness of the wind.
Either just Salma's feelings or something. Salma felt the touch of one's hand on her smooth cheek.
At that instant, Salma opened his eyes slowly and looked deeply at the person before him right now.
"Who?" The first word that comes from the lips of Salma.
