Why Don’t You Love Me, Money?

In the afternoon in the park of Faculty of Economics and Business UGM the sun appears after the rain falls and the birds tweet happily. They fly over here and over there. The sky is blue like the blue ocean persuading people to swim. On right side there is a pond with a little fountain and more than five fishes swim energetically. While in front of the pond the Hibiscus flowers open their corollas widely. They seem to smile each other even they smile at everything surround them kindly. But not like Tiyan, a girl walking alone in the park. She looks muzzy. She does not know what she should do. Then, she takes her money Rp 1000,- from her pocket jeans. She just stares at it angle by angle. That money is very dirty, old and faded. Suddenly, the money speaks to her and makes her surprised. 

“Heh, why do you look at me so serious, Yan?” the money is widening its eyes.

“Well, I’m wondered, Money” pursing up the lips. “Why are you so dirty and have many writing off?” waiting for answer.

“I’m only a Rp 1000,- , Yan!” cries loudly.

“He? Yes I see, but what do you mean?” confused

“Well, You know that I’m only a piece of a thousand rupiah. I’m the least amount of money. Automatically, people are less regarding me. I’m less valuable than the other of my friends” sadly. “People usually traits me whatever they want. For instance, the way they fold me is different with the way they fold Rp 50.000,- or Rp 100.000,-.” indignantly. “People usually keep Rp 50.000,- in their purse, while they keep me on their pocket, like you Yan…!”

“What?” shocked.

“Yes, you kept me on your pocket before you took me, right, while you separate me from my friends that you put in your purse!” angrily.

“I… I just kept you on my pocket because it made me easier to take you rather than I opened my purse” confused

“Arggghhhhh……. Everyone would say the same. They lie… like you I don't love you!”

“Wait,,, I tell you the truth.”

“No! I know the truth. People would love the red one than me because I’m less worthy than others. My friends would be kept tidily and softly. Hiks…”

“Heyy… Not all of people trait you like that. Still many others people who love you and care to you. I’m sorry if I made a mistake but with my honest, I just kept you in order to make me easier to take you. Moreover, I still kept the other your friends Rp 1.000,- on my purse softly and tidily. I’ll show you.” opens her purse.

“Wow,, you keep them tidily, Yan. I’m so sorry that I’ve supposed you are a liar.”

“Well, never mind, Money.. Starting now, I will persuade my friends to keep more lovely and carefully!” seriously

“Thank you, Yan. This will make my friends and my body more clearly and healthy.” smile widely.
