Friendship

Biting cold. God of wet earth shuddered. Trees covered with a light mist grimaced. Monyong houses kelesuannya show has been hit because of rain all day. Various waste: plastic, leaves, old twigs, tree trunks, mud, floating in the streets carried away by water from the gutter. Heavy rain since morning, just subsided after Isha. Five-watt lights twinkling reluctant to illuminate the darkness. But the bright sky sprinkled with stars. A meteor passed off semburannya the dark sky. After rain all day. Indeed, if you think more deeply, for people who want to think clearly, briefly, how, nature always looks beautiful in any circumstances.
Two men, guard, Sur and Joshua sat on the edge of the guard post. In front of dancing flames heading ronda, burning cold with warmth. At the edges, lay the roasted corn is still smoldering. There's also the sweet roasted. They are so loose that regular chewing of food eaten by the night guard. Two cups of hot coffee to kill sleepiness long. They are still inside the glove bandage soaked in melancholy because humidity.
Have accurate accurate, they're talking about Roy, a future mayor.
"What we really longed for the election of a leader who is truly a leader." Sur said.
"HHH ... What we will not find it. The mouth is often different from the behavior. How, we have a lot of wrong in judging a person ... "
"But ... the other Roy, my friend."
"Next?"
"He is our friend. Once a village with us. One game when I was little. Ah, very lucky, he had rich parents, dikuliahkan, and now ... dare to run for mayor. Did not We often hear and read the news in the papers, he was always soaked in the rain, bring some food packs to be distributed to those less fortunate?. He was truly a worthy candidate for mayor of our choice, right? "
"Ha .. ha .. ha .. why did the Roy dared to run for mayor. What I fear not him, but his wife. "
"Heh, you're too worried, my friend. Times have changed. Modern women are! "
"Let's first round. Weather like this can be exploited by damn thief! "
Then, they patrol around the outskirts of the township. Throughout the tour Yos hitting rafters with the same cadence and rhythm. They also talked to all sorts. Sur consider government actions often show strange, stupid and ignorant, was also fabricated.
"Is it true, like that, mate?" Ask Josh.
"Open your eyes, dong!" Sur glared. "Do not be stupid. Government has become a person who feels most right. Agree? The other day, our house number attached, you have to pay seven thousand, crazy right? Who told? Nothing that its laws ... "
"But ... you pay for, right?"
Sur nodded. Pout.
"Ha .. ha .. ha ..!"
"Ha .. ha .. ha ..!"
"Why ..?!"
"About our stupidity .."
"Ha .. ha .. ha .. I owe to you, comrade. "
"About?!"
"Honesty ... Honesty ..."
"Heh, how much amount will you pay?"
"I'll pay for it with confidence. Believe me, our conversation would not tell this to the village headman, as well as to other district employees. You're safe, my friend! "
You can certainly guess. once the body is also great and gallant Sur was shrinking, his head bent wearily, his face Perot no mercy. A few minutes ago, he seemingly had bravely turned into a dumb animal, flapping his hands not twisted. How ... a trust has stabbed himself.
"Aaku ... Ppercaya ... K.. Unto you, comrade!" Says Sur groaned, haltingly.

"Come on Roy, throw the ball!" The little boy was soaking wet. His clothes were covered in mud.
"It's Sur!" Roy threw the ball in the direction of Tyre. Amidst the pouring rain, Sur dribble. Opponent-lawanya smaller body size, not daring to trip him from the front. He lived opposite the opponent goalkeeper. Victory was in front of the eye. When the ball will be kicked, a player opponents Sur tripped from behind. True dare he! Think Sur. He fell face down on a red field in the stagnant water.
"You cheated!" Roy and his friends approached the penjengal. They pushed him. The occurrence of a small commotion. Some viewers feel disturbed.
"Want to fight? Not here, there, above the boxing ring! "Snapped Mr. Siru, meminpin referee a football match. Children are afraid of him, he was a soldier. "Let's go!"
"We're hurt!" Roy said after the game.
"Basic Pak Siru, one-sided!" Said his friends.
"No wonder the heavy side, he's her uncle the Bun."
"Oh, no wonder he was brave mengganjalku Bun."
They cleaned up in a pool owned by Wak Haji Kusmin. They thought, Wak Haji Kusmin where fierce that dare to pursue their rain-hujanan. The hands of ignorant children were menyambara some guava fruit kluthuk the pond. Pool water more turbid. They were showered with a salto, salto. The next day, Wak Haji Kusmin alert actions that nosy children to their parents. Roy dijewer his ear by his father. Sur struck his leg. All get a penalty for perbuatanya.
***Surely she will always remember me! Think Sur. How could he forget his childhood Roy. He often slept with me. I was so sure, she will always remember me, if not always the little reminiscing.
Sur rushed to cut the road. The sky had begun to show his grief. Inside the skull is stored Mun, his wife who was treated in hospital. It cost about four million, Mun required surgery, the tumor attacking her breasts. His pet goat to sell, but too expensive for operating costs. He had asked for help from Josh. What virtually, Yos conditions lately is bankrupt. It's been two weeks batakonya plants do not produce. Yos always use the money to repay kreditan motor.Sur have in mind is Roy, his little friend who has become a mayor.
Ah, how could he forget his good friend Roy. But ... What if he has forgotten? No ... he is not forgetful! Sur sure.
In front of the home office he froze. Courage it began to fade. He is afraid to step yard just once. Do-do ... he has not known me? Is not it sekitan long I do not see him, since he moved to Jakarta? Sur giddy. But, my wife?
Legs are on the home page full of doubts. The day was already afternoon. Official home page so beautiful with some colorful flowers. A laugh at his shiny luxury car Sur. For several minutes, stunned at the front door Sur. He was scared just to knock it down.
I better just urungkan! Inner Sur. But he knocked on the door also, very quietly, without a definite rhythm, shaking hands full Sur.A man, old, but his face indicates that he is a polite fine, do not like to argue, open the door.
"What happened, sir?"
"Mr. Mayor there?" In his heart Sur ... Roy did not expect there.
"Oh, come on please come in, sir!" The man guiding Sur entering housing. "Wait a minute, I will call first father!"How much room service. Complete furnishings, arranged in a neat and clean. No one stuck a grain of dust. Sur ... so small inside.***
"Keep my pencil, Sur!" Roy said while giving a pencil.Sur mindlessly snatched. Soon the bell will ring passes. General Deuteronomy ready they face.On the day of the new Sur-class separation could return the pencil belongs to Roy.
"This pencil. Sorry, I could only return it today! "
"You are ... there are all kinds." They embraced. "Thanks Sur. So far, we've watched each other ... "
"Further, wherever you want, Roy?"
"I will go to Jakarta, lived with a sister. Continue school there. "
"Wuihh Roy ... you are great. Your brother-collar job, huh? "
"I do not know." Roy shook his head. "You yourself, how?"
"I think people's ability uaku was enough to send me to this school. But ... who knows, not humans always have a plan! "
Since then they parted. Never met again.***
Roy was accompanied by a woman walking a bit slower. He was wearing a kimono. His face was starting to wrinkle. Apparently exhausted. There drowsiness radiated on both eyelids.
Already Roy thirty years! Think Sur.
Roy with his wife sitting on a couch facing Sur.
"There needs what, sir. This afternoon to see me? "Ask Roy, holding out his hand to the back of the sofa.
"Roy ... I want to ask for help!" Whispered Sur in the liver. But she could not pronounce. There was Roy's wife. "Ssaya want to sell a parcel of land, pack guardian!" That's out of her mouth. Hhh ... it is also true, have you not recognize me anymore Roy. It's been too long. More than thirty years, since the breakup. Everything has changed! Think Sur.
"Ha .. ha .. ha .. pak .. pak .. no-nonsense, this man! "Roy glanced at his wife. "Mah, please fetch the father's wallet in the room ..!" His wife to move. While Roy's face Sur. He glanced at glanced, then said, "Ha .. ha .. ha .. already more than thirty years, yes, Sur? "
"What!" Sur surprise.
"Ah, you're starting apparently senile .." Roy said sternly. "Sur .. Sur ... you're still the same. Basic ye! "Roy tapped Sur.
O, God proved he still recognized me. Sur muttered to himself.Roy's wife arrived.
"How are you going to sell a parcel of land that, sir?" Ask Roy's face changed instantly.
"That's not the purpose of my visit here, Roy .." Sur said no, he stared at Roy's wife, she did not want to disappoint Roy.
"Ten acres, sir!"
"Yes, I have. Tomorrow one clerk will come to your house. Hmm ... ten million, how? And this is the down payment, two million dollars. Enough is not it? "Roy gave money to the Sur. "Come mah!" Roy and his wife left Sur, vanished behind the door. When Tyre was still sitting open-mouthed, holding the two bundle of money, each amounting to one million.
Sur leave home offices, sluggish, he wiped his face, until a couple of times.
The next day, the wife of Sur so in operation. A piece of land, savings in the future that has been paid by an employee of Roy. Hand, the remaining money Sur holds as many as six million operations.That night, Joshua came to the house to ask for help Sur. Yos need additional capital to restore the company's activities, producing concrete brick. The money, amounting to five million rupiah. Sur gave it to Joshua. No ... I do not want to lose everything. Minimal friendship with Joshua ...! Think Sur.
"It take ... You are my treasure, my friends!"
Joshua took the money that lay on the table.
"Hmm ... how difficult it is for us merely to have a leader who truly leader, huh?" Said Yos.
"Yes ... but Roy, another friend!"
"Next?"
"He's our friend, since childhood. Do not ever forget it! "
