MILKY WAY

Its friday. Of course everyone is happy. Friday is like the heaven on earth for the teenagers. Everyone is going to the parties,hang out with friends,to the movie,to the mall,or anything. Everyone is having fun. Laughing, talking. But,do you know if there is a girl. Her name is Rachel. She is just a ordinary girl. Nothing special with her. She has a nt really lomg hair,flat ass and boobs,her sleepy eyes,her tiny mouth, her little nose. Not atractive ? Excatly. She is 17 this year. 17 must be a special number for everyone isnt it ? But not for rachel. She just lost her family in a car accident. It was so tragic. Only she knows . She really loves her family. Her dady was a doctor and her momy was a nurse. She used to have a happy family,but the car accident lost it all. All it left was rachel. She doesnt even know how she survived. 

Well the car accident was a year ago. Now,its summer. Summer. Beach,hawaii, sun bathing, tanning. No ,those all are not stuffs that rachel does. What rachel does is a working. Yes, she is working as librarian in her uncle libray. Intereseting? No. Her uncle is so arrogant. Sometimes she gets a red mark on her cheeks. She wants to stop,but if she did where can she get the food?where can she get her clothes ? She cant live if she dont work. Oh , one thing. She is not schooling anymore.

Its 12:30 in the afternoon when rachel was sitting in her chair, waiting for someone come to the library. When suddenly a guy in hurry was running toward the library and entering it with a loud sounds. Rachel was so shocked. The guy is coming to rachel.

"hey... Do you have a book .. Or something that related with sherlock holmes?" the guy said with a tired face

"um.. Wait a minute,im going to see if the book you searching for is there" rachel said and search for the book.

"ah.. Here you go" rachel said and handing the book to the guy.

"goddamn it ! Thank you so much for this! Im gonna borrow it" the guy said with his happy face

"of course,give the book back in one week.. Whats your name sir ?" rachel said as she writing down the guy's name

" my name is johnny hart" answered the guy

"alright , sir.. Thank you for coming ... And if you can , just slow down " rachel said as she giggling a bit

The guy looks shy and smiling as he rubbing the back of his neck.

"okay im sorry, im in hurry bcoz my sister.. My little sister, she is 12 now.. Crying over sherlock holmes stuffs " he said

" oh .. I though that someone is hunting you" rachel said

But suddenly the door fly open and a girl walk in with a watering eyes.

"rachel.. What are you doing here ?go back to the car now" said the guy 

"what is taking you so long ?" said the girl

"finding your motherfucking book .. Thats taking me so long" sai the guy with an anger face

"give it to me " the girl said and taking the book from his brother and walk out

"is that your sister?" rachel asked to the guy

"yeah.. She makes me want to punch her in the face " 

"well, you cant do it.. "

"why not? She treats me like her baby sitter.. "

"if only i can be you.. I would definetly treat her like my sister.. Kind of love her.. Not talking harsh  to her.. Stuffs like that"

"are you lecturing me?"

"no im not.. Of course im not.. I just wanna say that love them, whoever you love before they go for a really long time.. And maybe not coming back"

But the guy doesnt answer. He just standing there with a straight face. 

"whats your name ?" suddenly the guy speaking up

"my name is rachel.. Same as your sister" rachel said with a big smile

"id like to talk to you later" the guy said with a smile 

"thank you" 

And the guy walking out the library. Rachel is now thinking of the guy. Why did he asked her name?? Is he know her?? 

The rest of the day is flat. Nothing makes rachels day happy. She come back to her mini house with a tons of tiredness.

*a week later*

Rachel is giving up. She cant get the punishment that her uncle gave. Its just a small mistakes. And her uncle would be mad as a gorilla. So she stops working and just stay at her home and maybe looking for a new job. Fortunetly she has some money that can keeps her live for , maybe 1 or 2 weeks more. 

"thanks god for evrything" she said as she eating the sandwich for her dinner. It just herself but with god, she feels have friends.

*knock knock knock*

Her head stoods up when she hears someone is knocking her doors. She gets up and open the door. 

"hey... Rachel"

He come in and rachel leads him to the living room.

"um... "

"what ?? Really when ?"

"do you know milky way ??"

Milky way. Oh my god. This is a dream isnt it ?rachel Used to really love milky way. Its the most beautiful thing she have ever seen. The most beautiful thing in the sky. She used to love staring at the sky, hoping she can see the milky way.. With his bestfriend, Johnny.

She just sit there.

"rachel??" 

"are you johnny hart?" 

"yes.. You remember me ?" 

"no you cant be.. Youre johny shart.." 

"what ?? Shart ?? My name is Johnny hart. Here,look at my pasport" 

Oh god this is not a dream . He is here. He is right in front of her. 

"but in the library you said johnny shart.. I swear to god you said johnny shart"

"you dont belive me ? Okay then.. Marty, bella, shanon, mr fluffy, boo , bear, micko, jerry, will..."

He knows everything. Marty bella shanon micko and jerry are her childood friends. Mr fluffy is her neighboor. Boo and bear was her teddy bear couple. 

"johnny.. " she said with a shaky voice

Suddenly she hugged johnny really tight. Wrapping her hand perfectly to his neck. Johnny is feeling so happy. He found her lost bestfriend. He just found the piece of his heart.

"oh my god johnny.. How can you-" 

"rachel.. This is amazing, i cant say anything.. This is just like movies " 

" but can you tell me how can you really sure that this is me rachel your bestfriend?"

"so .. Its started when i dreamt about you, in a room.. And the background of the room was milky way.. A really beautiful milky way.. In that dream your dress was the same as your dress in the library. So when i wake up, i just cant get off my mind from the dream. I really want to meet you and i have to find you. Now, ive found you"

"long story boo!!" 

"yeah but, where is your parent?" 

Silent.

But with a strong voice rachel said. 

"do you want to meet my parent?" rachel said as she fake smiling his face

"of course!" johnny said quickly

"follow me " 

Then they are on their way to a cemetry, where rachels parent was resting. But johnny doesnt know anything about that.

"here they are " rachel said when they standing right infront her parent grave.

"rachel are you kidding me?" johnny said as she leaning down to see the name tha writen on the grave. 

Rachel doesnt lie.

For maybe 30 minutes johnny talking to rachels parent. How happy he was after meeting rachel, how happy he was for seeing her smile again. Talk about how rachels uncle treats her. And a lot things. While he can hear how hard is rachel sobbing behind him. 

Rachel, she is sobbing now. The memories is playing on her mind again. The memories when they are children playing with her parent, camping , fishing. It makes rachels heart hurts. Aching. Her face was wet bcos her own tears. 

In the middle of the night, besides rachels parents grave, johnny praying. Hoping for the best for everyone, specially rachel. 

After that, they come back to rachels home. On their way, rachel tells the accident to johnny. Johnny was tearing up. Doesnt believe something really bad have to happened to his bestfriend.

"ssh.. Rachel.. Im here" johnny said as he hugging rachel that always wants to be near of him

"i dont want you to go.. Just stay here.. Im scared " rachel said in between her cry

"okay, im gonna stay here.. Now, stop crying rachel.. " johnny said 

After minutes rachel is stop crying but she doesnt let her hands go from johnnys. She always wants to be near of johnny. Maybe bcos the bad memories that makes her scared of being alone.

"you must be tired boo, lets get some sleep.. " 

They both walk into rachels bed and lay down.

"sing me your lullaby bear " rachels said with her husky voice

Johnny starts to sing, their children lullaby.

By now, rachel is peace with johnny. They used to had through a lot together. And now, they will through more than the old days.. Together.
