Beautiful Stab

 

The next morning, the sun will greet us with its rays of light, and the birds of the landscape with their beautiful chirping. We are cousins who have always been together since childhood by being raised in the same environment. We always pass jokes, laughs, cries, and thoughts accompanied by developments in life to grow up.

My name is Alessandro and my brother is Andres. There is no other word but the word “don’t know” because we know each other very well, now that we are adults, we have managed to get through a few difficult obstacles. I’m not a smart Alessandro, I’m not a sociable Alessandro, I’m someone who tries to greet the world well, this is me who is different from my brother. Andres is an intelligent person, he is tough, brave enough, and doesn’t want to be defeated by other people, as his brother also feels that he doesn’t want me to grow far above him. Childhood is all life that always runs in laughter, and jokes, and does not know the word “serious”. Our lives are indeed the same, in terms of the environment that is not far away, we both breathe the same air, but to become adults there will be many obstacles that must be faced, which must be lived because life is not always connected with a straight path without any good mid-way damage.

Spain is experiencing spring, the sun has already greeted the earth, the population is soon to greet the clouds, and everyone is rushing to get ready to pick up their dreams, including Andres and I, who will walk the same path, we will go our separate ways with our beloved family, friends. parting which not only leave sad memories, because of our separation from relatives, are just to wander far away, to get a shining star among a thousand beautiful stars

We will go to the same school, be in the same environment, rest in the same dormitory, learn to be great artists like Leonardo Da Vinci a great artist we know. Alessandro and Andres are very fond of art, especially painting, therefore with the same passion and the same goal to become great artists, they will focus on studying it at a famous school, namely the Royal College of Art, England.

From the various traits that we know each other, we will not hate each other. We are brothers who try to keep going on the good path, even though at the end of the journey we will separate because we have different goals, but for now, we will walk the same path.

It was quite a long journey, days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, we have passed many stories and collected them in one memory filled with various stories. Alessandro will try to achieve his goals because behind the good stories he has, today where he is always ridiculed by his friends because one class already knows that Alessandro is Andres’s cousin, and they know that Andres always gets good grades compared to Alessandro. There is one classmate of Alessandro and Andres’s class friends named Ernesto, he is someone who always gets ranked 1st in class, one day Alessandro and Ernesto get the chance to live together in the same room, Alessandro thinks that Ernesto is a good friend and has a positive vibe and can be friends cool room, one day Ernesto and Alessandro were were eating together in their room and suddenly spoke to Alessandro “you are very different from Andres because your brain is what distinguishes you from him”. With a sharp smile Ernesto spoke like that directly while they were enjoying their meal, Alessandro couldn’t say anything but smile, maybe Ernesto thought it was a joke but behind that joke, there was a heart that hurt like being stabbed by a big arrow to the right target.

Time passes, story after story, struggles to be fought, everyone at school is very focused on each other, because in winter the School Final Examination will arrive, in this final examination will prove who studies hard, no exception with Andres and Ernesto always getting good grades, and how about Alessandro?

Winter arrives, the weather is pleasant, the morning must be accompanied by a smile, and always brings enthusiasm everywhere. Their exam room was enveloped in silence and focus.

And months of waiting for their graduation, and waiting to hear, who got the best score for their graduation, they have to wait until next winter to find out who deserves a good grade by going through a long process.

When winter comes, that is when it will be proven who will bring the shining stars and who will only bring the flowers that will wither in a few hours. And as a result of all the students, Alessandro’s name was thrown with the best grades in his class, becoming the best student. Happiness is covered with a smile, and Alessandro has managed to end the story with a smile.

With a lot of ridicule, a lot of failures, with a lot of sadness, Alessandro is very grateful to the people around him because with their insults, and their scorn, Alessandro can rise from the fall, and fight to be better because Alessandro knows that there must be the process to being able to become the light in midst of the darkness that envelops and It’s not wrong to struggle, it’s not wrong to smile when you’re sick, and it’s not wrong to be happy when you fail, because the one who will determine the end of the story is yourself.
