monster. When Daedolus finished his work, he wanted to leave Crete.

body with wax. He also made wings for his son, Icarus and made him

fly behind himself. But the son was so glad and excited that he soon

went too high. As he flew nearer to the Sun, it got warmer and

warmer until at last the wax melted and his body fell down into the

I Did Not Mean To Hurt You

“Hello … Yustita!” Lucy’s voice surprised me. Why not? She never

comes so early like this morning. She usually comes a few minutes

before the bell rings.

“Hi! What is wrong? You don’t look yourself today. Why did you

come so early today?”

“My father gave me a lift. By the way,. have you heard anything

about “Elsa?”

“What is the matter with her?” I asked. ”Haven’t you heard?

Everyone at school has,” she replied.

“What is it? Would you tell me, please?” I begged her.

“O.K., She is falling in love with Iwan. Don’t you know? She is

your classmate, isn’t she?”

“You are kidding! I can’t believe it is true. As far as I know,

she is a calm girl. But… how about Iwan’s response?” I asked

her .

“Wow …. I don’t know. Please ask him yourself. Iwan and you

belong to the same volleyball club, don’t you? But I think he

pays no special attention to her. Since … He loves somebody

else,” she replied.

“Who is she?” I asked.

“Well …. You’d better to ask him yourself. The bell will be

ringing soon,” she answered hurriedly and ran to her classroom.

Lucy is not my classmate. She is in the IPA (science) department

while I am in the language department.

The break finally ended. One by one, my friends entered the

classroom. It was very noisy in the classroom. The teacher was

absent and there was no special assignment.

“Tita … Are you going to play volleyball this afternoon?” Elsa

asked.

“Yes, what can I do for you?”

“I want to give this letter to Iwan. Will you help me give it to

45

Page 46: Materi Buku Look Ahead SMA X (10) Soal dan Jawaban

him?” Elsa begged me.

“Yes, I will. Believe me. I am as good as Mr. Postman,” I said

with a smile.

“Thanks a lot for your help.”

“No problem.”

In the afternoon, I met Iwan in the volleyball court. He was

smiling when I approached him.

“Iwan ….”, I called.

“Yes, what is wrong?” he came to me with a smile.

“Here is a letter for you,” I said while handing it to him.

“Who is it from?” Iwan requested.

“Please read it yourself,” I said.

“Well, is it from your close friend?”

“Right,” I replied shortly.

Iwan was smiling when he looked at me. I was a bit annoyed by his

smile.

A week had passed when Elsa came to me and asked about her

letter.

“How about the letter?” I wonder why he hasn’t answered it yet.”

“I’m afraid I don’t know. I haven’t met him for a week. But I

promise that I will ask about it as soon as I meet him.”

“Don’t forget it, Tita”.

One evening Iwan dropped by my house to return a book which he

borrowed a few days before.

“Iwan, have you answered Elsa letter I gave you a few days ago?”

“Sorry, … I have had no time to write it. I’d rather say … I

don’t love her, but I do love someone else,” he replied.

“May I know who?”

“Well, you will know everything soon. Sorry, …. I must be off

now. Give my best regards to your parents. See you tomorrow.”

“Yes, I will. See you”.

When I was studying that evening, I found a letter in the book

which Iwan returned. I was really very surprised when I read it

….

Oh my God! What should I do? Do I like him?

46

Page 47: Materi Buku Look Ahead SMA X (10) Soal dan Jawaban

Maybe, but how about Elsa? She is my classmate and my good

friend. It hurts to know this. Oh, no …. I will not do it. And

tomorrow I will tell him. I must find time to say it.

Iwan … I don’t mean to hurt you. I can’t love you. Please don’t

hate me. Let’s be friends till the end of time, but don’t love

me.

I can’t do that, you know. Oh God, help me explain it to

him. I really don’t know what I will do if I meet Elsa tomorrow.

Dear Yustita Indriani,

Thanks a lot of your kindness. But I am very sorry to

let you know that I do not love your friend.

If you really want to know the girl who I like the

best, her name is YUSTITA INDRIANI, the one who is reading

this letter now.

Yes, Tita, I do love you. I have wanted to say it to you

directly, but you never gave me a chance to do so.

Well, I’m waiting for your answer, dear.

With love,
