Fira was a nature lover
girl who had been
sitting in high school. Fira was a masculine
type of girl with
short hair, but still pretty
like a girl. Fira
had a companion since
she was in junior kindergarten named Lala.
Lala was a girl
who was feminine with long hair
and had a soft character, whereas
the opposite Fira. From their differences characters that did not reduce their
familiarity, they were very familiar and even
complement each other disadvantages of
each. Incidentally their homes close together. They
always went to the same place.
But their interest was different preferences in extra activities
at school. Fira is
more like the activities
associated with nature. While
Lala prefer liked art.
"Ra,
you sure you want to climb the mountain again?" Lala asked of disapproval.
"Yeah I have never conquered Mount Semeru," said Fira. Lala knew if
it relates to nature he would not be able to prevent the Fira. Fira was famous
for its extreme hobby, in contrast to her more like a hobby shop. "Time to
Tangkuban your boat close call, how about in? Mount Semeru it further,
Ra." Lala says it still does not agree. "I do not care! Which
obviously I will conquer Mount Semeru!" Fira said, ending the debate with
Lala.
At the beginning of high school entrance,
Fira had a classmate
who had him
could not settle in its class, the boy named Ardi.
They were always different opinions. Ardi preferred
on scientific matters, while Fira prefer
to things that are natural. And finally, always make
them fight. But
eventually they are paying
attention more. "Ra, why do not you have peace
with Ardi," asked Laura to Fira. "I would never make peace with the children proud
and arrogant as Ardi" said Fira. "But,
you are equally proud
and arrogant, if you never realize it? The
line between hate and love it
very thin, what
you will never admit
if someday you
fall in love with Ardi? "Laura was upset with
the answer to Fira."It’s been that to
happen" was not less annoyed
Fira answer questions from Lala.
But since the end of the first half, they become very familiar.
And finally after
a month they were dating. Lala knew
it deliberately teasing
Fira. "Correct what I say! Finally say that
I was becoming a
reality. "Laura teased
Fira."What do you say?" Fira pretended
not to know. "You
really never forget what you say to me? If you will
never fall in love with Ardi "Lala said. "Did
I ever say
that?" Deny Fira. "You are really
stubborn!" Lala increasingly annoyed with
the denial of Fira. Finally they were
joking with each other on the bed of
Fira.
"Ardi"
Fira call, waving his hand. Ardi who is her lover turned and walked up to Fira and Lala were
located at a corner table canteen. "That what?" asked Fira, he pointed to a paper brought Ardi. "It's
scientific work on Global Warming and its effects. I will include this scientific work in the competition. How Fir? Whether we will be gone?" Ardi said. Fira bowed, smiling sweetly. Ardi also smile.

Fira
read carefully the Ardi’s scientific work. He hung up on writing the scientific
work. "...... Not only is it the effects of Global Warming. In fact, many
cases now, Global Warming cause skin cancer. This occurs because the skin was
too often exposed the sun directly, especially when this Greenhouse Effect
result if the ultraviolet light emitted by the sun could directly penetrate the
earth's surface. Generally, people with skin cancer could be saved, but there
was one type of skin cancer were far more dangerous than other types of skin of
cancer, the type of Melamona Maligna. This type of cancer grows and spreads
easily around the body. Typically, the baseline characteristics the skin cancer
was itching in the body, red blisters, crusted skin exterior and pain. Because
its characters were easily recognizable, skin cancer was easily overcome, but
if left for some time whole body can be affected. As a result, the total
activity of the sufferer would be paralyzed and could cause death. "Fira
was shocked. "What happens with your hands and your feet, Ra?" Ardi
asked when they were having lunch together, a day before departure to Medan."I do not know its feels very itchy.
I think I am allergic to shrimp food that I ate yesterday. When
you come home?" asked Fira. "On
the field I was only 3 days Ra. You do
not worry like that." Ardi tease with a smile to
Fira. His word share not answered by to Fira, she was busy scratching the itchy hand sand feet.

"Ra!
Open the door!" Lala shouted behind
the locked door of Fira's bedroom. Again and again she
shouted, but no answers what so ever. "It is been
like this from him yesterday, La. Do you know why?" Fira's mother asked
anxiously. Laura shook her head. "I
do not understand, ma'am. Yesterday she was fine. Is it because Ardi leave?" "May be, La.
Please you persuade him to get out. Because
of she had not eaten. I am afraid if Fira sick later."
She pleaded Fira.
"The
winner of the contest winner of the National Scientific Work is
Ardi an Mantovani from Jakarta! Please for Ardian Mantovanito
go onstage, and received a trophy and scholarship."
Ardi smiled happily. Scientific work has
received more attention from the jury.
Safira
Anandya, was a lover of nature, challenges and Ardi course. Almost every month she and his friends spent
time together at certain locations. Uniquely, Fira was the only female member and the only member of the tenth
grade. For this reason, almost the
whole school knew her as ' Strong Women'. Fira was the figure of a cheerful and likes to laugh. But this time, he was a fragile person and liked
to spend time to cry."Ra!?Open the door!"
Lala was a shout from out side her room. Finally she opened her
door and told Lala entered. Laura sat on the edge of the
bed Fira. "Please take Ardi here, before it's too late." Fira said in a
weak voice. "Remember the doctor
said my skin cancer was a malignant type, let alone have
been treated. I would not live much longer."
"No, Ra! It
will not happen, it's never too late, Ra.." Now Lala
was unable to hold back her tears.
"I think
the itching in my hands and my feet are just plain itching, especially I like
to go in and out of the woods. I think red bumps that just a coincidence that
acne may be grown in the hand. "But" Fira said, crying. "I read the old papers
Ardi. It turns out that the characteristics of skin cancer. "" Ra, you
must be healed! I promise you will do whatever origin bias cured, "Laura assured
her friend. Fira smiled slightly at the words of sincere Lala. "I ask only
one, La. Can you bring Ardi to this place? That's all I ask of you. "Laura
was stunned to hear the request Fira. Fira was really expecting the arrival of Ardi.
That is the only hope of Fira. However, Lala was reluctant to tell Ardi. She
did not have courage to tell the news as Ardi may be feeling very sad and crying.
Ardi are very fond of Fira, Fira even more than to know. Lala felt sorry for his
remarks Ardi given him a few months ago. "La, you are good at designing. Later
when I got married in Fira, you are designing the invitation card? All were
given a discount for friends ". "What do you want to marry Fira? Still
long” sneered Laura. "I promised I would never have to release Fira up at
any time. If I was working and successful I will apply immediately Fira, because
I do not want to regret in my life. "Reply Ardi seriously. Laura cried
harder to remember Ardi words with her innocence, but still with its
seriousness. And now Laura had to say the actual reality, which would destroy
the feelings and dreams of Ardi. What he hearts it? "But Ra ..." Lala
will reject the request before realizing Fira. Fira was no longer conscious.
Lala tried to convince
herself to immediately notify Ardi. However,
he was afraid if Ardi
would be very surprised and it would be a very painful blow for him.
Slowly he pressed the button cell phone. After waiting finally Ardi picked
her cell phone. "Hello, Lala what is it? I'm
meeting for the
final competition of this semester La "Ardi said
sternly and in a
hurry."Ar, Fira pain" Lala tried
to answer calmly. "So?" Ardi said softly over the phone. Lala
tried to restrain
her tears. "Ar, Fira want you to
be here now."
Lala said with
a sad tone. "But I'm very
busy La, why Fira
so spoiled at all?"
Ardi said. "That's
not the case Ar! I've never fully tell
you. "Continued Laura.
"Did you have told me that Fira is
sick?" Ardi said. Lala instantly
burst into tears. Ardi Lala heard with astonishment and be
suspicious. A shadow crossed his mind. "La,
Fira is not okay?"
Said Ardi began to worry. "He was skin
cancer, Ar." Finally,
Lala can speak it well. Ardi immediately
hand off his cell
phone, staring in disbelief. World had collapsed around
her shoulders. "It's not
funny La, this is not a joke right?" Ardi
said to himself, just
to console her. "I'm serious, I'm not
kidding" said Laura assured. Without thinking long Ardi immediately hung
up his phone and asked for permission to leave the meeting. Although the
existence of Ardi was very important in these meetings, he did not pay
attention to anymore. After traveling a considerable distance, finally he
arrived. All Fira’s families were silent and Lala just crying near Fira, while
trying to keep awake. Fira’s mother just stared with tears and lead to closer
beside Fira. Fira’s conditions suddenly become more critical and ultimately in
the array to the hospital. Ardi was silent and stared at him blankly.

Three years later, at a funeral. A man
seemed to be laying flowers. Her eyes shone grief
that never disappeared from his life. He
stared at the tombstone
bearing the name Sapphira Anandya with wistful
gaze. "I continue
to pursue Higher Education Ra."
Ardi said. He
smiled, but not
long after he began
to cry. "Everything
is a mess without you Ra. The plan
we have both gone, even to get together in
the same college". Ardi said with sobbing.
His heart felt better now than three years ago, when he had
lost Fira. When he felt very sad ever occurred to the desire to
follow Fira. "Fortunately, I remember your message then. That Message made
the spirit again. The message was also that I was finally able to bring to the
NLC. You must also have known. Once you have an obsession to get group’s international
scale. And now, I was chairman of the NLC (Nature Lover Club) branch of
Indonesia. I felt very happy, Ra. I enjoyed the time off spaciousness to plant
a thousand trees in barren areas along with other members. I wish you still on
my side, I am sure you would have to be chairman of this group, not me. I
realize that nature is a friend. I promised to myself, to try to prevent Global
Warming".

Ardi did not know, someone was watching from a distance earlier. That
person was Lala. Lala was also still expecting the presence of Fira. Lala have
never had a best friend again, Fira. Fira who never felt ashamed of doing
things looks good though aberrant young people in general. But that's Fira that
there will never be second to none. Lala remembers the last message that makes
Fira and Ardi surprised. "La, Ar, only one message from me, please love of
nature and our environment. Any person who does not know anything could become
a victim like me because of damage to our nature. Please, keep and protect
nature. Because someday this nature can be angry if we destroying it. I love
you Lala, Ardi.''
