Source text - Indonesian Aku bertemu denganmu dua tahun yang lalu. Saat itu aku masih semester enam dan kamu semester empat. Aku tahu kamu pertama kali saat kamu ikut kelas Statistik di kelasku. Aku terkejut, tapi aku juga sangat senang. Aku tidak tahu pasti apa yang terjadi padaku tapi aku merasa kamu sangat spesial. Apa ini cinta pada pandangan pertama?
Sejak saat itu, aku mengagumimu. Pasti kau tak pernah tahu. Aku tidak punya keberanian untuk mendekatimu. Yeah, setidaknya kamu tahu namaku. Kita pernah berkenalan kan? Aku pernah berbincang denganmu walaupun hanya sesaat. Aku yakin kamu masih mengingat hari itu.
Kita ada di kelas Statistik. Seperti hari - hari sebelumnya, kamu selalu duduk di bangku depan. Kemudian Pak Yoga membagi kelas kedalam kelompok. Beliau meminta aku dan Roni yang duduk di bangku belakang pindah ke bangku depan, bergabung dengan kelompokmu. Kita satu kelompok. Aku duduk di sampingmu dan bicara denganmu.
"Hai, aku Nino," kataku sambil mengulurkan tangan. Kamu meraih tanganku dan menyebutkan namamu. Aku seperti terbang. Aku sempat khawatir kamu akan mendengarkan detak jantungku karena ini pertama kalinya aku duduk di dekatmu.
| Translation - English I met you two years ago. I was in 6th semester at that time and you were in 4th semester. I knew you for the first time when you joined in Statistic class as my classmate. I was surprised actually, but I was so happy. I didn’t know exactly what happened with me but I felt that you were special. Was it love at the first sight?
Since then, I admired you. Of course you never knew about it. I didn’t have any bravery to close to you. Yeach! At least you knew my name. That’s it! We ever introduced to each other, right? I ever told with you although it was just for a minute. I was sure you remembered that moment.
We were in Statistic class, of course. Like the days before, you always sat down in the front row. Then Mr. Yoga decided the class into groups. He asked my friend, Roni and I who sat down in the back row to move to the front row, joined with you. We were in a group. I sat beside you and told with you.
“Hi, I’m Nino,” I said while offering my hand. You reached my hand and mentioned your name. I felt myself flying. I even worried you would hear my heartbeat because it was the first time I sat near you.
