Light

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dedicated to Islam, Indonesia, and all who always support me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Hey wait me! Black cat! Where has the cat gone?”

 

“Wake up! It is Monday, take a bath, pray Subh then prepare to go to school!” she shouted.

Huft…, I am still sleepy. Actually I like studying at an extensive field batter than in the class room.

 

Today the results of our IT exam which held yesterday will be announced.

 

 

 

As usual, I got a bad score. This is my exam paper.

 

 

 

The right answers:

2. HTML

3. MAN

5. Deadlock

 

“Light! Look at my score! Where is yours?” Kaoru showed me his score.

Indeed! He is a smart boy.

“Nothing!” I answered as I looked for breakfast at the canteen.

I order a small Bento in order to avoid my stomach gets full because

it’s better to divide our stomach into three sides, there are the food side, the liquid side, and the air side.

Furthermore, we should stop eating before it gets full.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In top form, I rushed into the classroom.

I walk slowly to my desk, accidentally I see a girl is looking at me.

I do not really know who she is. What is on her mind about me? Just ignore it.

Just arrived on my desk, an IT teacher who uses a large veil comes to the class and about to teach us.

“Assalamualaikum!” she greeted to us.

“Waalaikumsalam!” I anwered just through my heart, unwilling to open my mouth,

but the greeting must be answered.

Well, the teacher re-announces our scores.

Suddenly blush on my cheeks start to appear when she mention my name and also with my score.

I don’t know why the girl looks at me again like before.

Ah, it’s very awkward. Maybe she thinks that a stupid student such me must to be dropped out

from the excellent class in this international school.

Really I could pass the selection to enter the class because of my achievement in sport, not my intelligence.

“Light! Your score should be remedied.Create a network design using Cisco Packet Tracer

with four Personal Computers, two hubs, and two routers.

I am going to do it at the backyard when the school has begun to quiet, it is about 5 PM o’clock.

Having studied IT, turn to the Japanase teacher who teaches in our classroom. We call him, sensei!

“Konnichiwa!” he greeted.

Today he is going to teach us Kanji characters.There are four kind of characters which used in

Japanese literature were Romaji, Katakana, Hiragana, and Kanji. Each has different usage.

Romaji is used to communicate with abroad people when they could not understand Kanji,

Hiragana, or Katakana.

Hiragana is used to write the original Japanese vocabularies while Katakana is used

to write uptake vocabularies.

Kanji is used to write almost all original Japanese vocabularies.

Complicated, frequently I nod off when sensei start to teach us, but in fact it is interesting.

He gives us a sheet of Kanji’s paper which will be learned today.

 

 

 

I rush to the Mosque for pray Asr because consequently if I leave the Asr all my actions will be invalidated.

The Prophet said:

“Whoever leaves the Asr prayer, then his actions will be invalidated.”

(al-Bukhari 2/31,66,Ahmad 5/349-450, 357, 360, 361, al-Baihaqee 1/444,

al-Baghawee in Sharh us-Sunnah 329, and others)

Not only Asr prayer, but also Maghrib, ‘Isha’, Subh and Zuhr is obligation of Muslims.

 

As I planned before, I go to the backyard toward the Cherry tree.

Quite situation with the breeze, the aroma of grass. It’s so fresh!

Fallen Cherry blossoms scenery around me, convenience atmosphere to do my task.

 

A Cherry blossom falls on my keyboard. I stop doing my task for a while. Picking up and staring the blossom.

“Konnichiwa!”

“It’s magic! Inanimate object could talk!”

“Koko ni suwatte mo ii desu ka.”

Shocked. A girl is standing next to me.

“Aaaah you may.”

“Arigatou. What are you doing here?”

“I am doing my task to remedy my IT score.”

“Sou desu ka.”

“Ummm, right”, , by the way you always look at me in the class,

anything wrong or weird about me?” asked to her with blush on my checks.

I do not want to look at her face because it’s haram for Muslims to look at people

who can be married. Haram means something must be avoided.

“Ah, I did not mean. I just wonder why you are so aloof.”

“Hmmm…”

Before answer the question, I offer my lunch to her.

“Have you eaten?”

“What is this?”

“This is Sate or Satay in English. One of Indonesian food.

Many abroad people especially who like the food. You can roast some stabbed meat over hot coals.

Serve the food with soy or peanut sauce. It’s so delicious!”

 

“How could you get the food?”

“My mother cooked it for me.”

“Really? Are you an Indonesian?”

“Right, my mother is Indonesian and my father is American.”

“Nice! I will taste SAAAAAAATEEEEEE.”

“Ahahaha ^_^ with pleasure.”

“Itadakimaaaaaaaaaasu! Nyam, oishii! ^_^”.

“Really?”

“May I visit your home later? I guess many Sate there.”

“Hahahaha of course you may. You could practice how to cook Sate with my mother.”

“Hontou? Hontou ni arigatou.”

“But, why do you always turn your face while speaking with me?”

“I did not mean, I just do not want to look at a girl because my God forbids it.”

“I do not understand.”

“The sky is going dark, you had better leave the place,

it’s bad when a girl and a boy together when there is no other who accompanies us.”

“Even you don’t want to be with me.”

“Gomen.”

“Jha, mata!”

 

“Assalamualaikum.”

“Wa’alaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh”, she answered.

“I am so sorry, there was a task that must be completed.”

“Hurry up! Prepare to go to the mosque!”

Having prayed Maghrib, I read the Qur’an.

Many virtues for us from reading the Qur’an, e.g. it will come as an intercessor for its reciters

on the Day of Resurrection.

Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

I heard the Messenger of Allah saying, “Read the Qur’an, for it will come as an intercessor

for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection. (Muslim)

 

“Good Morning! How are you?”

All students answer using each language.

“Light! Are you ready to present your task?”

“Of course!”

 

 

Confidently walk to the front of the class and present my task.

Here is my network design.

 

 

There is three networks which named N1, N2, and N3.

Each PC and router have IP numbers.

You could check the complete configuration on the picure above.

 

The girl does not look at me anymore. Is she angry at me?

The next day and the following days she does not attend in the class.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Knocking on the Himawari’s door room.

“Shiroi,Light comes to see you”, her father also as our headmaster said to his daughter.

It means her name is Shiroi?

She looks at me for a moment.

“Gomen nasai, about the last. I did not mean to make you angry. This is for you.”

.

“Doumo arigatou.”

“How is your condition? Get well soon.”

“I hope so.”

As a nice person, I have to see others who are sick and it is recommended

to give a gift for others although just a drop in the bucket.

The Prophet said:

“Exchange gifts, as that will lead to increasing your love to one another.” [Al-Bukhaari]

 

It is graduation day.

“Congratulation, Shiroi chan! ”

“Thank you, RAITO kun, I am so happy. Congrats for you too ^_^”

“”.

“Light!”.

“Ya?”

“Thanks.”

Nodding and smiling to her.

“What is your plan for the next?”

“I am going to continue my study in Indonesia, how about you?”

“Really? It means you do not dwell here anymore? About my plan, I will consider it again.”

 

 

 

 

Hmmm, unimportant status, there are more useful articles I can post.

Speak a good word or remain silent. Internet should be used for

good things, e.g. amar ma’ruf nahi munkar.

Amar ma’ruf nahi munkar is our obligation. It means ordering right and prohibiting wrong for others.

 

*Email received*

 

 

 

 

 

Should I reply her e-mail? It is better if I ignore it, but I am really miss her.

 

 

 

 

Closing e-mail tab then opening new tab using my favorite search engine to search some references

for my homework.

 

“Itadakimaaaaaaaasu! Nyam delicious. When we were in Japan, Light gave the same food for me,

and he also said that you will teach me how to cook it, is it right?.”

“Right dear… ”

“it is convenience eating at the tea garden, the air is so fresh, isn’t it?”

 

 

“Let us go there, Light! What is that?”

“It is called Sisingaan, a Sundanese art, especially at Subang.

Have you heard the word “Sundanese”? Sundanese is one of the tribes in Indonesia.”

“Is sounds interesting! Thanks for the explanation”

 

 

“ Shiroi I am sure you must be tired after sightseeing all the day.

It is better if we take a rest for a while in Sari Ater.

Sari ater is one of the place that are precisely located at Ciater Village,

South Subang, Subang, West Java. There are some interested facilities such as hotels, hot water

bathing pools, perfomances, games, and of course beautiful scenery, and many many more.

The hot water comes from the active crater Tangkuban Perahu.”

 

 

We are in the different hot water pool each other.

Having bathed, I and mother wait Shiroi at the parking lot. But she does not come back.

I intend to pick her up, but she is not in there. I just see a black cat is biting Shiroi’s bag.

“Hush! Hush! That is not a fish.”

Where is Shiroi?

A piece of paper suddenly falls from the bag.

 

 

 

 

 

 

A black cat?

I think I have ever seen the cat but I do not know where.

“Light! Light! Light! Wake up! You mentioned Shiroi, Cherry Blossoms, black cat, and many more.

Here is in Indonesia, not Japan there is no Cherry tree. And also we do not keep a cat.

Ah, it was just a dream. Maybe ‘cause I want to go there and I do like a cat so much.

So I dreamed in a dream.

 

 

 

 

Shiroi
