The sea stretched beautifully without walls to hold it, only the mountain ranges and islands blocked it as a dividing line between one region and another. The smell of sea water is so distinctive in smell, fragrant and the color is soothing to every eye that looks at it, the sea is one of the proofs of the power of the Creator to make the ocean from the beginning of the creation of the earth by bringing water in the form of meteor rocks with millions of meteors and then fell to the earth to form a large pond and then into the ocean, the beginning of the creation of the sea has been mentioned in the Koran, the book of Muslims around the world.
Not far from the waterfront, sat a girl waiting for the arrival of her lover who had promised her to return to pick her up as a bride.
This beautiful girl is sitting on one of the boats owned by local fishermen who were deliberately abandoned by their owners on the beach after getting their catch.
Lili was still staring at the sea where the fishermen were busy throwing their fishing gear from a distance Lili's eyes.
Not a day and two days, she waited for her lover to come, almost every day whether day or night, this girl remained faithful to wait for the promise of her lover.
With the stock of a cell phone he bought to be able to listen to every music on the phone to accompany his loneliness. Tonight the sky seems bright, the sprinkling of stars gives off a dim light as a decoration of the night. The sea breeze blew gently, hitting the face of ayu Lili. Lili returned to play her favorite song, a Korean song titled,
"Autumn in my heart"
Which has the following meaning;
Don't turn away from me!
Look into my eyes…!
All the world looks white
Did you forget the promise you made…?
Why did you give up on me?
You turn around so easily
But for me, it was very difficult.
From the beginning
We love each other, which we must not begin
My tears have fused, though,
with a request that I can't
give yourself more of this to yourself
you can't
disappeared from my life
Know that you are my light
If you go, then,
then you took my whole world
Don't forget that it will all be gone
I just want to breathe
From your love...
I smile every time I think of you
It was so hard for me
I cry every time I think of you
I fear everything about you
Don't turn away from me!
Look into my eyes…!
All the world looks white
Did you forget the promise you made…?
Why did you give up on me?
You turn around so easily
But for me, it was very difficult.
From the beginning
We love each other, which we must not begin
My tears have fused, though,
with a request that I can't
give yourself more to yourself.
The song then ended, chanting every verse sung as if to imply his longing when on the figure of a handsome man named Alex.
"Alex when are you going to see me baby, do you know that right now I miss you so much?, do you miss me too?" said Malika monologue. Hiks!.hiks!.hiks!"...
The girl again wept in the darkness of the night under the stars that illuminated the night, her cries breaking the silence, the longing of her heart can no longer be dammed her on a lover who is only a glimpse known but able to thrill her heart in a matter of a moment.
"I miss you too dear" said Alex, who had been standing behind her lover, whispering in her right ear, Lili, who was sitting on a fishing boat, hugging her knees.
"Hah!!, Alexxxx," cried Lili gleefully who immediately turned her body, as if she could not believe the man she missed so much was in front of her.
Alex smiled with a face that came to grimly see the face of his girl who was initially shocked turned cheerful to realize his presence.
"Are you waiting for me baby" said Alex as she wrapped her arms around her girl.
"Of course I miss you, you evil, evil Lex hiks!"
Lili cries haru while hitting spoiled chest of her lover. Alex clings more and more to the body of the girl he misses so much.
"I'm sorry my dear made you wait so long. But now that I've come to see you, no more crying, save your tears for another moment of our happiness" Alex said, wiping her tears with two fingertips.
"Do you love me so much Lili?" asked Alex to tease her lover.
"Aren't you enough to see me just crying you're missing?" Lili replied, asking.
"Dear, I believe in your undoubted love."
"Oh yeah, how did you get here, where did you come from and how did it get here," asked Lili who was still curious about the presence of her lover who suddenly met her on this beach.
"I've been following you for a week baby in disguise, just wanting to watch you up close and wanting to know what your daily activities are, like, are," said Alex who made Lili smother her mouth feel distrust with the behavior of her lover who had been stalking her.
"You?, why don't I know you've been spying on my eyes" said Lili, scattering her lips and hitting Alex's arm.
Alex then recounts how he first came to the island and disguised himself only to pay attention to his girl's daily activities until he found her sitting alone by the beach on a boat tonight.
The flashback
After escorting Malika to the airport by helicopter, Alex returned to meet the former boss Romi. Mr. Romi and his wife welcomed the handsome and dashing man to his residence.
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen!" said Alex kindly and greeted his former boss.
"For the young man, you are getting handsome, how are you!," greeted Mr. Romi with a chuckle.
Alex was sitting in a side garden at his boss's residence, and Mr. Romi and Ms. Ambar looked at Alex's face as if to convey something to them.
"What is it that young man your face looks so agitated, is there a problem you want to convey to us?" asked Mr. Romi.
"Look my master came here to see the master and mistress for help proposing to the girl I like who we met on the island of Karimun Jawa two months ago," alex said as he swallowed his saliva and exhaled his heavy breath.
"Oooh.so you are serious about the girl, what was her name yesterday Lex?," asked Mr. Romi who had forgotten the name of the fisherman's son who had saved the iron.
"Lili sir, said Alex briefly."
"When do we need preparation to propose to your beloved girl?" asked Mr. Romi.
"About this week, sir."
"Well we will invite Mr. Daniel and his wife to come propose to the beautiful girl for you, Mr. Daniel and his wife must be happy to hear this news," said Mr. Romi then chuckled at Alex's cheerful face.
"Then I would like to see her first, sir, so that the girl will tell our parents the news of our proposal."
"Continue!"
"I'm sorry sir, ma'am, I want to go first" said Alex and then got up and stepped back into the helicopter waiting on the runway in the area of the former boss's mansion.
First day on the island of Karimun Jawa.
Aided by one of his men who drove his helicopter to drive him on the island of Karimun Jawa, Alex asked his men to drop him in one of the deserted places far from the residential area. Alex got off with the help of a rope already available in his helicopter. The handsome man walked down the beach with a distance of about two kilometers from the location of his lover's house. He settled in one of the houses he rented to launch his action stalking the activity of the lover.
Day two:
Alex saw Lili out of her house with a neat appearance and looks very beautiful, apparently this girl is an elementary school teacher. Alex follows her girl's steps towards the school where the girl teaches. Alex sees his girl teaching in one of the classes. Alex was so stunned by the beauty of his lover, seeing the girl talking to his students, motherly nature clearly visible how the girl's interaction when calming one of his students who cried because of the temen in his class, he said, then he taught again with patience.
"Today's children I want to hear you sing the wrong national anthem, but before that listen to the mother sing after that you just sing how, agree to hear the teacher sing the song?," lili asked the students who were watching her.
"Agujuuu!," exclaimed all his students simultaneously.
Lili began singing an Indonesian national anthem with the title of the Indonesian song Pusaka:
Indonesia homeland beta
Nan jaya's immortal heirloom
Slalu revered the nation
There's beta's birthplace
Raised bred mother
Shelter in the old days
Until the end of closing the eyes
Indonesia homeland beta
Nan jaya's immortal heirloom
Slalu revered the nation
There's beta's birthplace
Raised bred mother
Shelter in the old days
Until the end of closing your eyes.
Alex really enjoyed the beautiful voice of his lover, wanted it to feel like he gave applause after listening to the song sung by Lili. Alex kept staring at the pretty face of her lover whom she peeked at from behind the classroom window at the school where the girl was teaching. Alex praised the girl.
"You are beautiful, dear and your voice is also very beautiful and melodious, you are like a package that is packed perfectly.
You make me want to get you more quickly" said Alex who is still following Lili's activities teaching the students.
Day three:
Alex follows Lili who is shopping to the market, this girl buys some of her needs, on the way back to her home, Lilies were reprimanded by her neighbors and the girl was questioned by one of the neighboring girls who was the same age.
"Hi Lilies!"
"Hi!"
"How are the coolest boys from your dream town" asked the girl named Endah.
Lili could not answer because she herself did not know the whereabouts of her beloved man, let alone contact the man she missed so much because Lili did not know the man's address or phone number, only Alex's name has a handsome face that has been stored in his mind.
"Co silence?
You can't answer it because the man was just playing you, sure the average city person like that behavior, he said, they just gave a sweet promise to us just to be considered a village girl who is nothing compared to the more attractive city girl," the word Endah makes Lili just take a soft breath with patience.
"I'm sure one day Alex will fulfill his promise to pick me up here, you're the first person to get my wedding invitation card, be ready baby because when that time comes you will bite your finger because it barks too much," added Lili silenced the mouth of Endah her neighbor girl.
From a distance Alex who heard the conversation of the two girls praised the girl.
"A smart answer beautiful girl, want it to feel right now I'm eating you," Alex said with a smile.
Day three:
Alex followed again her girl who walked by the beach in the morning, the girl down the beach until far from where she lived, the girl stopped staring at the waves that came and turned then the girl threw one of the objects which was a bottle inside which contained a tightly closed fold of paper towards the sea.
"Alexxx!. May you be the one who found the bottle dear!, because I do not know how to convey my longing to you," cried Lili towards the sea along with the arrival of the waves.
Then Lili took a piece of wood and wrote something on the sand a little far from the waves that always swept the beach sand.
"I love you Alex, I'll never stop waiting here for you, I'm sure of your promise."
The girl then ran back down the beach to her home. Alex was eager to follow the steps of his girl but curious to see what the girl had written on the sand. Alex reads her girl's writing her tears flow reading the expression of her girl's longing for her.
"Lili darling, so long do you miss me dear" he said.
After reading the writing on the sand, Alex remembered the contents of the bottle that Lili threw in the sea, he pushed one of the fishing boats on the beach, alex quickly paddled the canoe while circulating his gaze looking for the bottle that was carried by the ripples of the sea waves, before long Alex found the bottle then approached the canoe and took the bottle above sea level, Alex read the love letter from his girlfriend.
To you my lover if you are Alex who found this bottle, I am the girl who was on the island of Karimun you once came, the girl you promised to pick her up as your bride. Alex I miss you so much, if it's true that you love me come baby because I'm always waiting for you on this beach where you've tied your promise to me, my greeting to your heart and soul,
your girl Lili
"If the one who finds this isn't Alex please throw this bottle back into the sea let this bottle come to the owner of my heart!"
Alex was no longer able to hold back his cries, he cried calling Lili's name by shouting as loud as possible.
"Lilly!... I love you, baby, I miss you, too, my love, you" Alex cried out in the middle of the ocean as she pressed the letter and the bottle to the chest of her field.
From far away Lili who was stepping her feet wanted to go into her yard stopped her steps as if hearing the cry of Alex's voice calling her name.
"Alex, have you come, dear," muttered Lili and turned her body towards the sea.
The girl ran back to the beach and stood looking out towards the sea looking for the figure of the man she missed with one hand protecting her gaze over her forehead, because all he saw was the fishing boat the girl came back to his house.
Day four:
Alex is waiting for her girl to come out to the beach tonight, using a long dress with short sleeves a boat of lilies stepped in search of a very quiet place to wait for his lover to come by carrying his cellphone Lili sat on a boat one of the fishermen then play his favorite song, Lili, these longing-themed songs brought her daydream to her lover, as the last song she heard Lili wept bitterly, Alex who saw the girl's longing for her no longer held herself back from approaching her and when Lili muttered softly the words of longing for her Alex returned the same words of longing for her lover who is very loved.
Flashback off
Alex embraces her lover's body, wanting to kiss Lili's thin lips, but this girl brushes her lover's cheeks to keep her lips away.
"Sorry Alex, I don't want myself to be a slander in the eyes of the people here, please don't get me wrong, on this little island, here, still holding strong customs and I don't want to embarrass my father's good name" said Lili wanted her lover.
"Sorry baby, I miss you too much, tomorrow I will come to propose to you," Alex said.
"really?

Lili heard the life story of her lover is concerned about the way Alex lives.
