Siska and I have been close friends since we studied at senior high school. I was driving her car and we were on our way to the mall. She looked very happy after spending her holiday in Bandung. I could see it from her big smile.

       “Sis, can you tell me about your holiday in Bandung?” I asked.

       “Of course. There, I stayed in my aunt’s house. It’s not too big, but it has a beautiful view, because it is located near the tea gardens. So, the air was cool.” Siska started to tell her story. “There, I also accidentally met my old friend, Nina.”

       “What a surprise!” I exclaimed. “So, what were you doing?”

       “We were doing nothing. We met in a book fair when I was accompany my nephew to buy a biology book. When I looked around, I saw a girl who was sell the books. We were surprised when we looked at each other. She hasn’t changed. She just looked more beauty. She smiled to my and then we had a simple chat.” told Siska.

       Suddenly, a car passed us carelessly. I cursed and had to stabilize my steering. Siska was upset too. I chased the car and it took more than 10 minutes for me to finally manage to force the driver to stop. Siska got out and walked quickly to the car. She knocked the door.

THE STORY OF ‘D AND D’


           That day was Monday morning. The day which was very important for a girl who has a pointed nose, the bright eyes, the long black hair and beautiful face, named Dita. It’s an important day for her because she would know the result of the national exam. At about 9 a.m. she went to her school by motorcycle. When she arrived at the school gate, she met Silvi, her best friend.
“Morning, Silvi.” said Dita.
“Hey Dita, congratulation for your success.” said Silvi enthusiasly.
“My success?” asked Dita.
“Yes, you know, you get the first rank in our school, Dita. You are the best. ” said Silvi.
“Are you sure?” asked Dita.
“Yes, of course.”
Then, Dita left Silvi at the school gate. She wanted to watch the result of the national exam.
“Hey, where will you go?” asked Silvi.
“I want to watch it.” Dita shouted.
Dita went to the announcement board. She was looking for her name there. At last, she could find her name at the top.
            Dita was very happy because she had passed the national exam with the satisfied result. She wanted to continue her study in Gadjah Mada University. Because of her cleverness, she could be accepted in that university.
In her faculty, Dita became a famous girl because of her beauty. Most of the boys there fell in love with her. But, Dita didn’t have any feeling with one of them, because she wanted to focus with her study.
            In the third semester, there was a new student in Dita’s class, named Dika.All of the girls in the faculty were crazy about Dika, except Dita. She really didn’t like Dika because she thought that Dika was a conceit boy.
            Dika fell in love with a girl, named Dita. He knew that Dita didn’t like him, but he had fallen in love with Dita at the first sight. He wanted to make Dita fell in love with him. Dika had done anything to make Dita fell in love, but she didn’t care with all of Dika’s effort.

“Morning, Dita. May I join with you? Asked Dika.
“Yes of course, why not?” said Silvi.
“Thanks.” Said Dika, then he sat near Dita.
“By the way, what do you do here?” asked Dika to Dita.
“Nothing.”
“Really?”
“What do you want?” asked Dita.
“Umm… I don’t know.” said Dika.
“Silvi, sorry I’ve to go now.” said Dita.
“Ok, be careful.” said Silvi.
“Hey, where will you go?” asked Dika.
“It’s not your business.”
Dita left Silvi and Dika in the park. Dika didn’t now why Dita really didn’t like him.

In class, if there’s a group exercise, the teachers always made Dita and Dika in a group. So, Dita had to accept Dika to be her friend. Because always together, slowly the love seeds had appeared in Dita’s heart.
Dika was very happy, because he knew that Dita had loved him. He could see it from Dita’s eyes.
When they were doing their exercise in the library, Dika spoke to Dita.
“Do you have any plan tomorrow?” asked Dika.
“Maybe no, why?”
“Uhmm… How about go to the beach?”
“That’s sound great.” said Dita.
“So, when will we go there?” asked Dita.
“I’ll pick you up at about 6 a.m. Ok?”
“Ok, I’ll wait you, but don’t be late!”
“Ok.”

The next morning, at about 6 a.m. Dika had arrived at Dita’s house. Dita walked to Dika’s car and then they went to the beach. At the beach, they walked around and played the sea water. When they felt tired, they took a rest under the coconut tree and enjoyed the coconut water which were they bought before they took a rest.
“Dita” called Dika.

The next week, Dika promised to Dita that he wanted to meet Dita at the park at about 9 a.m. Dita had arrived at the park, but Dika didn’t arrive yet. Dita thought that Dika was in jam, so she waited for Dika’s coming.
At about 11 a.m. Dika didn’t arrive yet too. Dita had waited for about 2 hours. Dita become worry. She phoned Dika, but he didn’t answer it. Ten minutes later, Dita got a phone from Dika.
“Dika, where are you? Why you didn’t answer my phone?” asked Dita.
“Dita, this is Silvi, not Dika.”
“Silvi?”
“Yes, this is me. Dita, Dika got an accident, so please come to International Hospital now.”
Dita went to the hospital as quick as she could. She arrived at the hospital, and then she ran to the ICU room. There, she met Silvi.
“Silvi, how is Dika?”
“I don’t know, but he still in a critical condition.”

      One afternoon , when the five-footed bear went home ,  he found a rabbit under a mahogany tree. The rabbit looked hungry. Then , the five-footed bear brought him to his home.
       The next day , when the five-footed bear was looking for meal , the rabbit helped him clean up the house. While the rabbit was working , a monkey and a mouse deer came quietly. They pretended to be robbers. They wanted to disturb the rabbit.
         The rabbit was frightened. The monkey and the mouse deer tied up the rabbit’s legs and plugged his mouth. Fortunately , the five-footed bear came and released him. The rabbit was upset because the bear wasn’t angry with the monkey and the mouse deer. In fact , the five-footed bear let them live in his house.
        On the next day the monkey and the mouse deer asked the rabbit to forgive them. They helped him clean up the house. In the evening when the bear was coming home, he brought them meals and a new friend. The monkey and the mouse deer were very afraid knowing who the new friend was. He was a tiger. But the rabbit wasn’t afraid. The tiger was one of the rabbit’s best friends. The monkey and the mouse deer didn’t know it. The monkey and the mouse deer were very embarrassed. That was  the cleverness of the five-footed bear. He wanted to make them aware of their bad habit of frightening the rabbit. Then , they sat and enjoyed their dinner together.

      With the help of genies and spirits , Bandung Bondowoso and his allies  built the temples. At four o‘clock in the morning , Bandung Bondowoso had only five more temples to buil. Loro Jonggrang panicked because she knew he would complete the taks.
       Suddenly , Loro Jonggrang had an idea. She called all the woman in the kingdom and asked them to pound rice. She also asked the men to burn a lot of wood at the east side of the kingdom. Hearing the sound of pounding and seeing a bright sky , the genies and spirits were afraid. They ran away with only one more temple to complete. They thought the morning had come.
        Bandung Bondowoso was extremely angry when he found out what Loro Jonggrang had done him. He cursed Loro Jonggrang and turned her into a statue.
        If you visit Prambanan Temple in Yogyakarta you will see a statue of a beautiful woman inside one of the temples. That is the Loro Jonggrang.
