Waiting for the shooting star


Putri Puspita
Riana sat close to a big window in her house attic. It was her favourite place to see the sky full
of stars and when she missed her parents who worked in town.
Riana often heard if we made a wish during a shooting star, our wish would be come true. Had
been longing for her parents, Riana only had one wish, to be able to meet her mother and
father.
It had been days for Riana to spend her time after study waiting by the big window on the attic.
The room was so cozy, it was decorated as a bedroom. Only one thing she was waiting for sure,
the shooting star. On weekdays, she sat by the window until nine p.m., then she went to bed.
Because today was Saturday, she decided to stay longer.
“Rin, please come down. Let’s watch TV downstairs,” Oma (grandma) called by the attic door.
“Just a moment, Oma. I still want to be here,” said Riana.
An hour ... two hours ... three hours ...
There was none of the shooting star, even until Riana fell asleep and had a dream...
She sat in a hill, and when she looked up, the sky were full of stars. When she looked down,
there were city lights that looked like stars. Around the hill, there were so many people sat and
enjoyed the beauty of the stars. They were all silent, they just smiled and sometimes whispered.
“Maybe in this hill a shooting star can be easily seen,” she said to herself. Riana was amazed by
the beauty of the sky full of stars. She hoped to get one and brought it home.
Suddenly, Riana saw a shooting star. Her eyes were widened, she was surprised, but she
remembered her wish. She closed her eyes and said her wish whole heartedly. Her sincerity
made her dropped her tears.
“Riana,” a soft voice came from her right. Riana turned around. It was her mother and her father
next to her. Riana hugged them tightly.
“Ibuuuuu... Bapaaaaakkkk ...,” she said loudly.
“hussshhhh... you should speak softly here,” whispered her mother. Riana turned around and
realized that everybody stared at her now.
“Ibu, Bapak, I miss you so much,” said Riana.
“We also miss you, darling,” said Bapak.
“I want to come with you to the city. I don’t mind helping you working in the city,” said Riana.
Riana’s mother shook her head and smiled. “Ibu and Bapak will come home later. Riana should
study diligently at home and take care of Oma,” said Ibu.
“Riana may see stars from the window, but you should not do it till late at night. We can still
meet in a dream, just like right now,’ said Bapak.
“Dream?” Riana was confused. So this was just a dream. The meeting between Riana and her
parents was just a dream.
