One day, in a village called Gandasari village, there lived a boy named Ucup and his two friends, Asep and Cepi. They have known each other since they started school at SDIT AT-TAQWIM elementary school in the katapang area. They are known to love to play, even when they come home from school sometimes they can play until 18.00 or until maghrib time arrives. So sometimes their parents always wait in front of the door until the children come home and then scold them for coming home too late. However, it didn't scare them at all because playing was their habit since entering elementary school on the condition that they could maintain their achievements while in school. Ucup is known as a good student, he was able to maintain his achievements when he was in school by getting a top 10 ranking which was then followed by Asep who was also able to maintain his achievements. Unlike the case with Cepi, who did not qualify for the top 10, but because Cepi's parents were very busy, they were not at home until late in the afternoon, his parents still allowed Cepi to play until late afternoon or evening.
Day after day they have spent together until they do not realize that their graduation from elementary school is only 1 year away so they must prepare their best after graduation. Class 6 arrived, and the time for farewell was in front of Asep, Ucup, and Cepi's eyes. They leave their playing time to study for the final semester exams to get the best grades and can go on to the best junior high school as well. Farewell arrived. They must be ready if they lose each other because the dreams they will achieve are of course different. However, when they entered junior high school, it turned out that Ucup and Asep were enrolled in the same school, namely at a boarding school, unlike Cepi who enrolled in a public school, so Asep and Ucup had to lose Cepi when they started attending their junior high school.
However, who would have thought that even though they are in different schools with Cepi they are still friends, even every Friday or Saturday, and Sunday when they are off they still play together like their friendship when they were in elementary school. They are so close that their parents know each other and they even go through hardships and joys together, just like when Cepi couldn't play games, Asep allowed Cepi to play games on his cellphone just like Ucup. Time seemed short, their junior high school was almost over, and they had to be faced with an even tougher test, namely to enter high school or high school.
At that time, they had to leave their playing time back and they took the exam to enter the high school they wanted. Graduation day arrives Ucup, Asep, and Cepi show each other their exam results but Cepi looks afraid to show their exam results so only Cepi doesn't show the final exam results. School registration started again, and Asep and Ucup chose the same school again, namely Madrasah Aliyah, while Cepi was in a public school again. However, they were all accepted into the school they had chosen at that time. Even though they are in different schools, their enthusiasm for playing is always there even when they are busy with so many school assignments, both writing assignments, and presentation assignments. One day Asep and Ucup even introduced their school friend to Cepi so that Cepi had more friends to play with. Unlike the case with junior high school when they were in high school they always played at tourist attractions in the city by motorbike and even had time to stay at their friends' houses while playing Playstation together.
However, in 2020 in February the corona outbreak arrived so their playing hours had to be disrupted but who would have thought, it turned out that when the corona came they could play every day without even having to wait for holidays because they carried out their school online. Every morning, Ucup and Asep always go to his friend's house named Yeti to study and play together at that time. Which was then followed by Cepi at noon. They played happily while enjoying a plate of nasi Padang and playing UNO cards. Every Ramadan, they always hold a Bukber event together at a restaurant. However, the time has passed quickly, the coronavirus is slowly disappearing and in 2021 they are faced with such a severe ordeal that their school period has ended. They have to think about whether they will go straight to work or whether they will continue their education at the university level. So that their friendship at that time slowly crumbled little by little because not all of their friends continued their studies. Some have to work for an income first so they can't see each other again like when they were in school. However, they remain true friends or friends who are always there wherever they are, just like during the school days they had together where old friends were always together and new friends were officially together. That's their friendship, complaining, sad, laughing, and even the happiness they have been through together when they were still in school. In the end, they realized that friends were people who were always there for them when they needed them and that was the end point of their friendship from school until now they became friends forever. ( Since 2022 )
