END OF NAYLA'S LOVE

LALA I LOVE YOU

"Hans why are you going so far?" ask Lala. They were sitting on the edge of an artificial lake where they first met.

"If Lala goes to grandfather's house, Lala can't see you anymore" said Lala, who was sad to be separated from Hans.

"I have to go with papa. And his work papa now has to move far away, but Lala don't be sad later we will definitely meet again" Hans comforted Lala.

"You promise?" ask Lala.

"Prince Hans promised to find Princess Lala" while raising her two jarins.

"If we meet...." Lala was not finished with her words but Hans replied.

"We're getting married"

"Married? Like mom and dad?" ask Lala plain.

"Yes like that, always together so as not to separate again" Hans explained to Lala.

"Will Princess Lala be a companion to Prince Hans?" Hans looked at Lala who was silent.

"The answer will be if we meet again" Hans said.

"Why? Lala can answer it now"

"I want to hear it when we meet"

Sandy and Nayla look back on the times they were going to be apart. There were no tears and sadness at that time. Only faith will meet again.

Now they sit in the hotel garden leaving the party frenzy inside the hotel. Looking for fresh air enjoy time together to share stories.

"A Hans, why can't anyone call Hans again?" ask Nayla. Sandy smiled at Nayla's question.

"Lala why should only Prince Hans call" while playing his eyebrows stained Nayla.

"Aa Hans, answer first"

Sandy stood up now she was sitting in front of Nayla. Staring at the chubby-cheeked little girl who used to be very cute and spoiled is now very beautiful, mature and independent.

"Is Princess Lala good at swimming?" ask Sandy. Because when he separated he asked Nayla to continue practicing.

Sandy would hug Nayla if they played in the lake. He always did it when Nayla was not good at swimming.

Nayla meets Sandy while on holiday in Lembang. He loved to sit and play water in the artificial lake that once made him almost drown when he slipped and fell into the lake. Sandy who was swimming at the time immediately saved Nayla.

Since then Nayla has always learned to swim with Sandy when on vacation to her grandfather's place in Lembang.

That is what makes them close and love each other. Lala calls Sandy Prince Hans for saving Princess Lala.

"Hmmm. As Prince Hans asked" Nayla replied.

Sandy grabbed both of Nayla's hands and held them tightly.

"Are you sure you'll see me again?"

"I'm pretty sure, even I used to fantasize that Hans suddenly came to hug me like he used to when he was keeping me from falling into the lake"

"I'm also pretty sure I can find you, so I just want Lala to call Hans by name"

"Until now I really like to play water and be in front of the lake" said Nayla.

"So Heru bought us a house with a swimming pool but made like a lake. In addition to the Princess learning to swim, Heru really knows that I really like the lake"

"Every day I would sit there playing in the water for a while, expecting the prince who was waiting to come hugging the Princess"

"What else was that I just let go of a bond" Nayla recalls to Nuno.

"You waiting for me?" Asked Sandy and Nayla just nodded.

"You know La, since we first met at the movies I can't forget you"

"Every day always hoping to find you. Like I was hoping to find Princes Lala" Sandy recalled after meeting Nayla.

"I felt like I knew you well at the time"

"When in Lembang?" ask Lala.

"When in Lembang I really wanted to go to the lake. But I don't want to leave you for a second. What else do you still like to keep your distance from me" Sandy lamented at Nayla's attitude.

"If I had known from the beginning you were Lala, I would have taken you there"

"I'm sorry" said Nayla Lirih

"I wasn't sure how I felt at the time"

"You know A, after I hit you that time, you were present several times in my dream as Prince Hans" Nayla said honestly.

"I had just ended my relationship with someone I should have ended a long time ago"

"I thought because I was hurting so I dreamed of you as Prince Hans coming to my aid again"

Nayla took a deep breath, her memory now returning to the story she had buried over a year ago. But he had to tell Sandy. He didn't want any stories of past people that would be a problem in the future.

"When High School I love someone who also loves me. Our relationship just went on. Long distances are not a barrier"

Nayla tells from the beginning she met with Nuno until finally she allowed Nuno to get married.

"I let her, she married someone else but she was always there for me, her love never left me"

Sandy kept listening to what Nayla said. Nayla's love journey is much harder than she feels.

"Until I try to get into a relationship with a person I don't love at all to throw my love at him"

"But it still doesn't make it go far, even he's getting my steps tied up"

"I realized it was a mistake, I had to make a big decision to let it go"

"I ended my relationship with both of them at about the same time, there was a burden missing on my shoulders even though it was hard to get through"

"And that was the first time we met again"

Nayla stood leaning against a tree decorated with colorful lights, staring far ahead.

"A year has passed, it is unexpected that we will meet A Hans again" said Nayla.

Sandy stood closer to Nayla.

"You found Princess Lala, Prince Hans, are you going to ask for an answer to your question?" ask Nayla.

"It doesn't have to be now if you're not ready" Sandy doesn't want to force Nayla even though she's hopeful.

"Now or later I still have to answer, only the time is not the same"

"I wanted to answer a long time ago, but you asked to postpone it all this time" replied Nayla.

Nayla turned her body towards Sandy, looking into those eyes full of love and genuine affection. Like when they were little Sandy always gave her comfort. Sandy's eyes flashed hope waiting for the answer that many years had awaited.

"I'm too ready to answer now. Do you still want to postpone it again?" ask Nayla to Sandy. Sandy was silent.

"If I had answered back then maybe we wouldn't have been apart all this time"

Lala steps closer to Sandy and lets her body fall in Sandy's arms looking for warmth and comfort in that embrace. Trying to feel what he had felt before.

"Princess Lala is willing to accompany Prince Hans" he said slowly.

Sandy who heard the answer immediately hugged the idol, who was willing to accept it a second time.

Long they hugged as if releasing longs that had been buried for years. Fasting a sense of inseparable. Sandy kissed Nayla's head many times. Childhood love that is just like a toy for some adults is now really a real love.

"Thank you" said Sandy looking at Nayla who tonight is really beautiful under the colorful tree decoration.

"Thank you you for walking with me step by my side" Sandy kissed Nayla on the forehead.

The night air in Bandung is getting cold. Sandy takes off her suit and wears it on Nayla.

Nayla leaned on Sandy's shoulder, now they're sitting back, there's no desire to go back to the party. Just wanting to spend the night sharing a taste while tightly grasping hands, both of them felt warmth.

"Prince Hans, don't go again" Nayla told Sandy.

"I've found you I won't let go again for the second time" Sandy replied, holding Nayla's hand, giving her warmth in the cold.

"You promise?"

"Do you believe me?"

"I trust you my prince" said Nayla raising her head and smiling at Sandy.

Their gaze met, the look of love was seen from both, convincing the same feeling of hoping not to be separated again to step together

"Lala, I love you, Princess Lalaku"
