Letter to a character of "5 CM" (Writing Assignment)

Majalaya, 10^th of August 2011

Dear Zafran,

First time I knew you, I was enchanted to meet you. I like the way you are. You knew much about philosophy, poetry, and words having imagery. All of joking that you created really made people around you be happy, including me. The nature that you have, style that you apply and attitude that you show, those are interesting. Making people laugh is good act, I guess. Because it makes anyone forgetting his/her sadness for a while. There is no thing that need to be changed of yourself. Because someone looks perfect from the way he/she is. Let it be you.

Anyway I know you are fan of the film “The Dead Poet’s Society,” and like an excerpt “capatain... o my captain.” I am glad because what I like is what you like. When I remember about that, I am used to smile on my own. You remember it, don’t you? You told much about Socrates’s philosophy. If you never said that, perhaps I never knew it. However, I say thank you for giving me more knowledge, especially about philosophy. That is useful to keep my spirit in getting my ideals. You are my vocalist, my poet and my philosopher.

Actually there are so many things that I want to tell, but a piece of this paper is too little to write down my words about you. As you and the members of “Power Ranger” said to hang our ideals five centimeter in front of our brow, I’ll do that. I do hope to be able hiking to the top of Mahameru. So, I’ll keep it in front of my brow and will never let it go.

Keep smiling

                                                                                                                                            Love
