He is my Hero(u)

“Although we will be separated by the distance, that’s no matter. I will still can meet you. And you will never be my ex-childhood friend”. That was my promise to him. He is my childhood friend. Before my home was moved, it was not far to get his house. I just need to cross the road in front of my house. Because my babysitter’s home is near  with his house,  almost every day  I went to his home.  We were born at the same year. Physically, we are almost same. We are not too high and also not too short. We have brown skin. And also we are quite small. Our family also have a good relationship. Sometimes his mom took care of me too when my mother and my babysitter were busy.

He was a great boy. When we were child, He was the only one who never made me cry. But, I often made him cry. When our naughty friends mocked me, he always saved me from them. When I would break my babysitter rules, he will always care to me with my babysitter’s face when angry and he succeed to cancel my bad act that I was going to do.  He always waited me when we would have ngaji (read holy Qur’an together).

Until now, I still often went to his home. Although we did not play together again, at least we knew the condition each of us. Now, he is a man. He is not like the other teenage boys outside. One thing that he still keep until now is responsible and hard working. I believe if he still can be a successful man, although he doesn’t continue his senior high school.

He is Heru which is, my hero in my childhood.
