Naufa was going to the public library to look for books recommended by her lecturer about the stars. She asked the librarian about the best book she was looking for, and the librarian said that the book was borrowed and should be there that day. She waited for the book for a few hours. Suddenly, a young man came to the librarian.
“ Mrs. Naufa! Here is your book” the librarian yelled at Naufa
“ Ok. Thanks. Hey, why are you so long? I’ve been waiting you for hours!” Naufa was mad to the man.
“ What’s your problem ms.? You’ve got your book right?” The man was pissed off and went away from the library.
The next day Naufa realized that she felt so guilty to the man at the library. She asked the librarian about the man’s adress.
“ So, he is Sammy Saputra that live in 30A Salim Street?” Naufa asked
“ Yes, he is. You are feeling so guilty right? Go, apologize to him!” the librarian answered.
“ Ok. Wish me luck! “
Naufa had found the house and knocked the door. The young man with his sleepy face opened the door.
“ Are you Sammy Sa....” Naufa asked politely.
“Yes I am. What bring you here?”
“ Umm... just to apologize about the accident before”
“ That’s fine. Get in? It’s so cool outside”
Naufa entered the house, and figured out that Sammy had just moved there due to some boxes in the house. They had a long conversation until Sammy asked her something unpredicted.
“ Do you want to accompany me for a dinner? I’m looking for a restaurant with delicious foods around here” Sammy asked.
“ Why?”
“ Have I told you that I’m still new here?”
“ Sorry. Hmm.. OK. Maybe we can go to the chinese restaurant. Five blocks from here.”
They went to the restaurant, and Naufa was so impressed with Sammy. Months passed, and these young human being had a relationship. They often went to the library together and shared knowledge about books. At Naufa’s birthday, Sammy gave her a novel titled “ Starry Sky”. She thanked him and enjoyed the birthday party.
The next morning, after the breakfast, Naufa opened the book given by her boyfriend. In the first page, he read a message, written by Sammy:
Good Morning my dear Naufa. Happy Birthday. I wish you all the best. How are you today? I hope you can keep your smile until the night come. I’m sorry Naufa, but from now I can’t be by your side anymore. I should continue my journey to visit every library in the world. I didn’t tell you before because this time will come and if you know it, you will not enjoy the day we’ve passed together. I’m so sorry Naufa. I know that this is so sudden, but I cannot let you cry in frront of me and see tears rolls down from my eyes. When you read this book, maybe I’ve been on the plane. Don’t miss me. I’ll try to send you letters as I could. Please let me go and let me know that you love me so much.
Love, Sammy
p.s. Please read the book. The book is a novel that resembles our story. Love the book and all books that will you read later. I want you to love books as you love me. I love you Naufa xx
Naufa couldn’t hide her sadness that tears fell down from her eyes to the book. Their love story was over, but Naufa taught that his sadness is useless. She started to love books and libraries. Years after that, she own a big library, the London International Library, in hope to meet Sammy again.
