We
are one
Amid the crowds on a sunny morning I
walked through the town , and today is the
first day of school in the new school .
After moving to the city of Bandung . The
town is so crowded , and famous for the
buildings are historic . However , behind
the beauty of the city of Bandung there is
something that makes me so surprised . I
saw a bunch of young people who seem to

chase each other and getting into fights

between them .
I can only see him silent , until then
there is a girl who pulled my hand and take
me away and passed from the place. In our
way

to

school,

talking

and

introducing

themselves to each other, respectively.

She has name Krista, she was a student at
the same school with me that is SMPN1
Bandung. Krista has been unusual to see a
street fight , so it's not a new thing for
him . And then she said to me :
" You is not never seen anything like
that in the street ? When viewed from the
expression on your face anyway , I think
this is the first time you see something
like that "
" you are right, I just never saw a
fight at school . If the new highway
before I see it . "

" Yes, you newcomers here , ? Where

are you from? "
" my name is radit , I am from
Jogja . "
She also

tells

me

to

be

careful.

Because many gangsters here, as you saw

earlier. And Alex is the head of a gang
that is "dark" . Krista also said that Alex
has frequently expelled from school , he's
been here two years . A few minutes later
we arrived at the school , and he later
called one of his friends who happened to
be new to the school with his motorcycle .
After removing his helmet , the girl turned
towards us. I'm really fascinated by her
beauty , and it made me silent and stare
at her beautiful face . Krista startled by
clapping his hand on my back , and he
introduced me to his friend . The beautiful
face was named Gea , it turns out he was

my senior . Yes that's okay , admiration of

view it

does not age . We also run

concurrently to the class , there is a

figure seen from a distance towards a man
walking toward the man turns us. And the
boy is alex , crest took me away from alex
. I feel there is something wrong between
them . But I do not know , the problem of
what is going on between them .
One year ago , when alex was no
school exams , there is a gang member who
picked him . Without thinking long he left
the classroom , and immediately went with
his

friend

Turns

out

his

friend

in

trouble , two friends alex pursued by

enemy gang. Alex come at the good time ,
he immediately hit the enemy discharged .
He

indeed

has

been

addressing

issues

faced by his friend , but because it was to

save his friend . Alex is in trouble , he got

a warning from the school because of
school exams , and parents are asked to
face the principal . The school contacted
the parents of alex , but that came to an
assistant principal is both parents . The
school principal asked , why do not his
parents in attendance .
"his parents have a meeting suddenly
they can not be present sir. I Hope you
can understand. "
The assistant replied like that . It
seems very angry pack principals on alex ,
and he decided to pull out of the school
alex

However

anger

was

melting

because the nominal of the check is big

enough . Smiling, he grabbed the check.
Alex first hand that grabbed him and
immediately tore it up , and then left the
room . saying

" I'm out ! ! " .

Maybe for others

money

brings

happiness . But to me , the money brings

misery . ( Said to himself )
From there alex child grow into a
brutal

for

the

affection

of

both

parents . Maybe he was living in luxury ,

but of luxury that she felt loneliness in the
dark .
Alex was a popular hero in school.
indeed he was brutal , but he always
defended people who are always on the
right. Like me who is always in survives at
a time when I disturbed by hard luck other
senior. That always accept new child, and
I think there are other things that make
the senior disturb me, because I almost
always break every hour with gea . Maybe
she liked her . And it is reasonable , for a
pretty girl like gea . Alex saved me several

times from the hands of the jail 's senior

brother .
After school I walked alone toward to
the my sisters house. I decided to stay
with him because I don't like with my
mother. My Mother that are too many
interdict myself. I do not like at all the
rules that he created. Until finally he
decided to marry again after a few for
long divorced with my father. And now,
she lives with her new husband, which is
my stepfather. I really disappointed with
my parent. I cannot say anything about
them. My parent not cares to me. And no
one people can understand me. While my
father, I do not know where he was gone.
And anyway I do not see him. Perhaps a
glimpse of my story and alex has some
similarities . I and alex , equally feel the

warmth of the family name . We were

both like kids are not ignored . However
alex more luck than me , he was born of a
wealthy family whose all-sufficient even
more . While I was just a child born to an
ordinary family. And difference anymore,
even though my family was falling apart,
but not so with my life. My life still neat,
because I realized that I did not have
anything. Differences with alex who has
everything

he

can

get

whatever

he

wants .
That afternoon , when about to go
into a place. There a bunch of young
people who were playing ball , and it turns
out the ball out of the field and toward to
me. I pick it up, and kicked it toward the
football field. I accidentally turns tending
the face of one of them , and they are

gang "dark ." one of their members do not

receive because the ball has hurt his
friend , even though I 've apologized . But
alex muffle , more surprisingly, he asked
me to join . I will be happy to accept the
invitation .
From there

know

Alex

and

his

friends closer . And since then I more

often

get

together

with

them.

The

loneliness it has turned into togetherness.

I also requested to join the gang "dark".
Before joining , I tell you what's mean of
the name gang "dark ".
Alex says , it stems from a dark fate of
members of the same gang that is both
less affection from parents . We are both
often feel lonely in the dark to . Well ,
that's where the name came DARK . Geng
"dark " consists of 4 people: me , yoga ,

fendi , and dodo . Now add one more

person is you . Today I became part of
the official entry figure them. Alex is
mature , assertive , kind , and willing held
the bag. Yoga is a stubborn person , who
sometimes own way , but he is also good .
and fendi are idle , good and funny. Dodo
is gullible person. The most importantly,
they are all my bestfriends.

First day with the gang "dark " make

me so happy. I feel to don't have burden.
Do not shut-in in disappointment again.

Though I do not feel the warmth of the

family, at least I used to feel the warmth
that we have been friends with sahabat.
Because there is no secret between us.
Alex told me that he once dated with
Krista , but their relationship foundered
because her mother do not like to alex and
Krista since it away from him . Though
Alex is very fond of Krista . Alex asked
me to help him to make Krista back to him.
I tryto help him. Though I also tried to
close with gea, but my friend is number
one of me.
To the next morning , when I search
for Krista class at school and I tried to
tell him that Alex still love him . But it
seems he does not want to hear anything
about alex . Yes I 've finally gone ,
because he did not respond I said anything

at all . After school , I took gea going

home together . Before I drove him to his
house , I take her out first. By riding k I
memboncengnya . I'm really excited to be
a walk with him . As if there were only
two of us in this world , and the other 's
just ride alone . We walk around just a
little while , because it was already dark .
Time goes so fast it feels when we feel
happiness

However

when

we

feel

sadness as as time goes by slow .

Every day I experiencing day, my day

such as other students . Go to school ,
learn , play , and spend time with my best
friend . I belong to a quiet student in
school . But since with my new best
friend

became

more

celebrants

themselves and makes it easier to hang out

with friends - my friends at school . Alex

is a person who plays an important role ,
for better change my attitude . No longer
moody and taciturn as ever . At school we
were always hanging out together , spend
time off with full of laughter . Sometimes
I also still with gea and crest , with the
rest spent reading a book together . And
of course that's a more useful , than to
spend time only for things that are less
important . But , sometimes it is necessary
to entertain themselves from saturation.

Every day I feel more confident to

express my feelings for gea. But I do not
be selfish, because I had to help Alex
make the same feedback crest. After
school I took Krista going home together. I
intend to try to persuade him again. We
also went to a place, which is good for a
place ngobrol. She insisted, and remains at
its founding. That she will not come back
again with alex. Despite the fact that she
is still fond of alex. Only, she does not

want to hurt his feelings. Krista is more

concerned with his parent feelings than his
own feelings. In tears, leaving me in the
passed. And I tried to chase him, trying
to calm her down.
After that I was no longer are forced
to

unite

alex

and

Krista

again

realized , if it's not likely to happen,

before his Kristas parent approve of their
relationship . After i talk with her, I will

immediately drive back to his house.

In the afternoon I go hang out with a

gang of my friends . There I met Alex .
And tell all to her . He felt crushed ,
because they can not win back the hearts
crest . He also realized that he was not
allowed to impose his will . maybe this is
the name of love that should not have .
Now I'm madly in confusion . I 'm not
happy over my grief . On the other hand I
also do not want to remove gea from my
heart. I really want to be with her.
However , this situation does not really
allow for me to express feelings to gea .
It all makes me think hard . Because this
is so very difficult choice , a choice
between friends and people who I love . It
made me not be able to enjoy being
together with me . Only a few hours I was

with them , and after that I decided to go

home and calm down .
When arrival home , I paused in my
thoughts. I really do not know which one to
take . So that my heart can be more calm
and can be made to think clearly , I
decided to sleep . To soothe the liver and
my mind. Because tomorrow I have to be
co-opted the best decision for me and
everything .
The sun was rising on the eastern
horizon , and the sign has been ahead of
the morning . After thinking for a long
time , I 've decided to choose my friends
more . And it was a sign , I would keep my
feelings

at

the

thought

of

my

own

happiness . I believe this is the best

decision . Because friends are the best

friends of my life . I did not choose gea ,

does not mean he's not important for me .
It 's just a matter of time , I did not
choose her for this time . There are still a
lot of time , which may be another time
when we unite . If she has been stated we
are

destined

fate

Someday

we

will

certainly be united .
The decision was made I had to stay
away from gea in school , and spend more
time with my best friend . So that I will
not dissolve the feeling that I can not
tell . This situation is really make us much
closer. There is another disturbing feeling,
just togetherness that is in our minds . I
actually

know

the

meaning

of

true

friendship . Best friend is the only one who

always wants to hear any complaints in this
life. and only those who could understand

our feelings . The five of us did not have

bond with each other brother . However ,
the five of us are more than just brothers
. We always walk on the same side , and
as if we are an integral part . Alex,
Fendi , dodo, yoga and I, always together
in all condition our life. We were made for
each other. Family adversity , do not
hinder unity of our friendship . As for us ,
this is a family friendship that will always
bring happiness that had been missing.
