You Are Memories
Part 42: The Best Failure

Today was exactly the announcement of the selection to enter the football school. I went to the school to see the announcement to meet Mr. Andri.

“Assalammuaaikum pak” my word to Mr. Andri.

“Waalaikumsalam, enter Rey”

“Iya sir, how is the announcement sir?”

Mr. Andri sighed and explained to me.

“Sorry yes Rey you can help, you are not accepted”

I was really sad to hear Mr. Andri say that.

“Yah so yes pak” replied me with a face melas.

“Yes, you are looking for a school that is easy to get into. This football school is a favorite, many are lists. And parties there looking for the best of value and experience.” Obviously mr. Andri.

“Iya deh sir, make a lot of yes sir. I came out first” answered me while coming out with my face down.

“Iya Rey”

I really have no hope anymore. Andin doesn't want to be friends with me anymore. I was rejected at the school I wanted. I'm sorry why from first grade I didn't study seriously. Why from first grade I don't know any closer to Andin. If I knew this, I would be really sorry. Maybe this is why I lied about covering everything up from Andin. Plus my parents didn't know I was dying. That's why God doesn't approve of everything. That's why I was rejected hmmmm pain was also rejected.

I just remembered the glass that I used to bring the school left behind in my class. I purposely brought glass not to scold, like women in general. But to see Andin continuously from the glass. It's only natural that I'm sitting in front of Andin. You're behind me so you can't see it all the time. If I look back he likes to be angry, he said disturbing he was reading. I let the glass stick in front of me so that the reflection of his face could be seen on my glass.

When I was approaching my class that there were no students because the third grade had not come anymore.

I entered my classroom and I saw my glass still on my desk which I stuck on my friend's bench in front. I took the glass, when I took it.

Suddenly I saw a novel that Andin likes to read called Love in silence. I laughed at the title of the novel. I did not think Andin read a book genre romance.I took the novel book hoping I would return it to him later.

I got out of class with my glass and Andin's novel. When I left the class. Suddenly I heard my teacher talking to another teacher. I listen to them talk.

“Bu know ga Andin the smartest student, he did not enter SMA 2. Poor ya though pinter.just going back again.he lists at favorite schools. Many smart and interest”

“Iya bu pity, competition is really tight ya”

Hearing that conversation, I immediately called Andin. But the phone can't be called. I know very well that right now you are sad. I was also sad because it was not accepted as well, but yes how else fate said otherwise. I accept everything.

Andean's house.....

“Now, don't cry anymore. We can find another school.” said mother calm Andin.

“Which school is bun? All school applications are closed, I don't want to be in private. Will my friends know how Bun is? I'm ashamed” replied Andin with tears.

“How about we call the 15” High School party said the father with his idea.

“Create what well?” ask the father who does not understand.

“Yes we call, maybe we can consider our child can enter again. Yesterday our son graduated”

“Oh yes also yah”

Finally I called 15th High School.

“Good day sir sorry to interrupt the time. I'm a parent of a student named Andin.”

“Iya sir, can I help you?”

“Look sir, so before that my son graduated in that school. Just because of other obstacles resulted in my child not receiving and not giving my child data. Can you please my son come back to that school? I will pay how much you want”

Andin's father did it all for his son. He was willing to pay anything so that his son could re-enter the 15th High School because if he did not enter he was confused where to enter his son.

Even though he's a teacher at High School 2 he doesn't want to do things that aren't right. High School 2 also can not be bribed. Maybe he hopes High School 15 can. Because it does not include the top ten schools. But it's the same as not accepting bribes, too, making you not know what to do.

“*Sorry sir can't, but there is a rule to re-enter. It is necessary to exchange benches with his father's friends or other students who have graduated in our school. If that's okay because there is no such thing as a bribe kan”

“Oh as it is good later I will announce again sir.”

“Iya sir, sorry yes we can not help you even because of money. Because we want our school to be clean from kan” strikers

“Iya sir, sorry yes sir not my intention like that”

“Iya sir, later if you have found a student who wants to be exchanged with your father just tell me again sir"

" Good sir*"

Dad told mom and Andin about the rules. Andin felt humiliated because he did not get into his dream school. At that moment he calmed his mind in the garden where Andin first came out with me.

I'm looking for Andin anywhere, don't see you either. My mind says he's in the park where I was first with him. I looked there, it was true that he was in the garden with his sad face. I samperi him. I tried to calm him down.

“Din,,,” call me slowly on him.

He did not wait for only his sad face to be shown. Tears managed to wash his face. I really can't bear to see it that way.

“Din already do not cry anymore, life is that sometimes what we want may not be the best. What I feel is also rich, I really want to go to that football school, but fate says else I did not graduate and I am confused what to do now hmmm.” I obviously told Andin as I sat beside him.

Andin nodded and said.

“What? you didn't pass Rey too?”

“Iya hehe, but I have registered at the school you suggested at SMA 10. Yes, I do not expect that the problem is that the school is also”

“You're not lying to me anymore, are you Rey?” andin asked in disbelief at my words.

“Yes, I'm not lying. Yesterday's problem I'm really sorry about you, I didn't mean to use you at all. But I really want to change”

“Continue your plan abis how?” ask Andin back.

“Yes I follow the story. Waiting for SMA 10 announcement. If it doesn't go in I've taken private hehehe”

“Loh are you accepted at SMA 15 why not take?”

“Oh yes, if I accept High School 15 that I can one more school with you yes. Ko I just thought ya.”

Andin again bowed his face.

“Engga can Rey, I can not enter SMA 15” said Andin like no spirit.

“Yes, only I oonnya at the beginning told to collect data. I didn't get together. Yes probably because of my overbearing nature. So I turned down the school and there was no hope for me to enter.”

“Ko can do so the rules, you have called the school?”

“Udah was dad. They just said that if they want to come in again, they have to exchange with me. So students who have graduated must be willing to change."

“Oh so, I have an idea” I told Andin.

“What?”

“I graduated yesterday at SMA 15 it, how about we tukeran?”

Andin still did not understand my intentions and he asked.

“Means?”

“We tuckeran. So you can get into that school,”

“How are you going?”

“Yes I was not originally intended to enter the 15th High School, I just wait for the announcement of the 10th High School. If I want to pass High School 10 papah want to register me private school”

“You have no intention, why would you want to register at SMA 15?”

“Actually that time Rama tell you, if you register at SMA 15. So I registered because there you hehe”

“Yee basic, I'm really arrogant. sure that I will enter the 2nd High School.but the truth is hmmmm”

“I've said, sometimes what we want is not always best for us. There may be something else better that God” loves

Andin did not respond to my words just fell silent with his little laugh.

“Ko you laugh?” ask me who saw Andin laughing.

“Engga, I don't think you can talk rich wise that,”

“Hehehe may be my brain again in fact,”

“Hehehe”

“So how do you want to tukeran same me?”

“But later you ga...” replied Andin, and I immediately cut the word.

“And I told you, you followed me. Don't think about me. I don't do anything ko hehe”

“Iya Rey, makasii ya”

“Iya equally din hehe”

“Before I apologize to you, because I was angry with you. And do not understand your explanation.”

“Kear ko you're angry, let me go too far. I should be the one apologizing to you. I've benefited you, lied to you, and disappointed you.”

“I've also received everything ko”

“So, we're friends again?”

“Hmm how ya?”

“Yee what time?”

“Hehe yes”

“Promise until whenever we make friends, even though other schools remain friends?”

“Iya,,”

“Asikkk”

I saw Andin smiling again. I'm really very happy that he smiled like that. The lesson I learned in this matter is everything we planned, we expected, we expected, it does not have to walk in the direction or walk as we wish. But everything was arranged by God. We can only accept his destiny. Even if it makes us disappointed. But believe me, God's destiny is never wrong.

@

Andin's House.....

Father and mother who were confused thinking about Andin's school, did not know what to do.

“Yeah, bun” says Andin.

“Dad and mother have agreed to din, want your input in private school. Because public schools do not want to be put in using money. Including the SMA 15 that does not accept money. The rules of students who have entered want to exchange with you”

“Well, bun, I don't want to go to my favorite school because I give you money.”

“So you want to go to private school?”

“I've met me who wants to be replaced”

“who?”

“Rey well, bun”

“Rey? Daddy is a stranger by his name”

“That's a lot yeah, that dad played the same ball he picked me up time,”

“Oh yes new dad inget, he wants to be replaced?”

“Mau well he said”

“Good, you already told him, tomorrow to SMA 15 take his parents”

“By his mom?”

“Bole”

“OK yah”
