I Need Time Turner

I Need Time-Turner

By Khotia Nur Aqsho

”She needs her family back. She needs a healthy mother back again, and smile for her. She needs her brother came back home again.  She needs her friends near around her again. She needs  time machine. She needs the time-turner, to get it all back.”

***

The sun was going down, the sky was getting dark. There was no stars twinkled and it was raining. Emily walked around her  backyard, she was really sad. She was broken home. Emily lived with her mother, and her brother, Peter. Her dad left them with the other beautiful woman. Her mother was sick because of her husband. Her brother didn’t go to school, because he didn’t pay the monthly contribution. Emily depressed. Emily was the first-born in her family. So, she should help her mother and brother.

The next Monday, Emily went to school, she was dizzy. She came to school late, because she had to prepare for her mom’s and brother’s breakfast. She didn’t alone, her friend in her class, Harry came late too. So, they got the punishment together. They had to clean the teacher room. And they did it all with happily and laugh.

Harry told her that he wanted to go back to home together with Emily. And yeah, they went back home together. They talked as long as the road. Harry felt something different. Something that Harry didn’t know what was it. Maybe it was love. Harry fall in love with Emily.

 Emily arrived at home. She felt bad because she found her mom was crying. “What happened mom? Why are you crying mom?” said Emily. “Peter, he is leaving us, he grab all his stuff. He is gone,” said her mom sadly. She was crying too. She ran out to the garden, and sat down.

She had hoped the soft breezes would be a consolation for the fact that she had so much work to do. She had to find her brother, but on the other hands, she had to take care her mother. But at that time, there was nothing left to do but cry. Suddenly, Harry came and approached to Emily. “Leave me alone, don’t bother me!” said Emily loudly, and she was crying again. Harry sat beside her, hoped he could to calm her down. But he couldn’t. Emily left him and she walked inside. It made Harry sad, it made Harry mad to her. And he also left, he went back home.

The next day, Emily went to school. She was late again, and got the punishment. When she in the class, she got Harry stay away and ignore her. She got Harry not talked to her at all. She was sad. And the bell was ringing, she went back home. After she arrived, she looked at the garden. Emily lied down on the grass, and she closed her eyes. She was dreaming and talking by herself, she was a little unsteady with the tears in her eyes.

“If only I have time machine, I will go to the past. I will change all of it. I need my happy family back. I need a healthy mother back again, and smile for me. I need my brother came back home again. I need my friends near around me again. I need time machine. I need the time-turner, to get it all back. Although I know that there’s no time machine, I know there’s no time-turner to get it all back. It just a dream, Emily. You are stupid Emily, there’s no time machine. There’s no time-turner. But I want, I need time machine right now.” Emily was crying.

Emily was sad, that everything has changed. She thought if not all of the effort wouldn’t be back and if only silent lament all that happened. She smiled, get up and started something new. She hopes everything would be back.

The Gift of a Friend

Everyone needs a friend. Sometimes a friend got closer than family. Sometimes you choose a friend who you felt comfortable with. And everyone had a friend. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. They always understand what happened to you.
 

Deasy had a friend, whose name was Diana. They had been three years in friendship. They were always together, in senior high school. They always went to school together. They seemed like brother and sister.
 

One day, Deasy went to Diana’s home. And his mother told that Diana was not at home, and she waited for Diana at her room. Deasy really wanted to tell Diana what she felt. Because she thought that only Diana could understand her.
 

It was getting dark, seemed the night come and Diana still was not at home. Then, Diana’s mom told that Diana didn’t go home, she would stay at her grandmother’s home. Deasy decided to go home. 

When Deasy went back to home, she thought that it seemed Diana didn’t want to meet her because she felt that Diana was slightly away from her.
 

The sun beat down and dewy leaves under the blue sky. It was a sunny day. Deasy went to school and decided to meet Diana. She met Diana, but Diana went away from her. Deasy didn’t know what her mistake to Diana was and Diana stayed away from her. In the class, Deasy asked Diana.
 

“why did you leave me? What’s my fault?” asked Deasy with sadly.
 

“Find out by yourself” said Diana with a cranky face.
 

Then, Diana left her and joined with other friends. Deasy was very sad and she went out the class, she sat down on the park. Looked around and thinking. ‘Why is she very angry with me? had I do some mistakes to her’ she said to himself. “I have to say sorry to her”.
 

Then, the class ended. Deasy approached Diana, but Diana went away and walked in a hurry. “Hey, I’m so sorry if I had made mistakes, I don’t know what my fault is that make you stay away from me” said Deasy.
 

And Deasy knew that Diana heard it, but she still stayed quietly, and she stayed away. And they were getting mad with each other.
 

Looking up at the sky, Deasy gazed upon the moon as it struggled to shine through the thick clouds that cover its glow. Out here in the backyard, without all the city lights, saw the stars it was glowing. There was a knock on the door, when she opened the door. She was surprised with it. Diana and her friend came to Deasy’s house at midnight. It was 00:02. Diana was making a surprise birthday for Deasy.
 

“ Hey, sorry if I left you alone, we made this for your birthday, Happy Birthday!” said Diana with a cake biscuit case topped with fresh cream cheese, swirled with mocha topped with a layer of chocolate ganache. It was my favorite cake.
 

“Happy Birthday, Deasy!” cheered her friends.
 

Deasy was surprised, “Did you make it for me? Why did you do it all for me?” asked Deasy.
 

“ Because it was not a surprise if I talked to you, are you mad at me? I’m so sorry, I made it for you, hope we will be a bestfriend forever” said Diana.
 

Deasy hold her, and said “yeah, we will be, don’t you dare to leave me again”.
 

So they laughed under the twinkled little stars. And they were fine. Friend is always be there for us. As you know that friendship is one of the sweetest joys in life. A friend is like a heart that goes strong until the end.
