First Love of Kalila

Eps. 22

Upon arriving at the Cibodas Botanical Garden, Dimas immediately invited Kalila and her family to the Sakura Flower Park.

Sakura Park is so beautiful in the botanical garden, of course makes Kalila eyes sparkle. His mouth was unceasingly amazed, when watching the typical flowers of the Japanese country, now blooming in the country. In fact, it is said that reportedly, in his native country, cherry blossoms can only bloom once a year. While in this botanical garden, in Cibodas Botanical Garden, the flower can bloom twice in one year.

“You know Koes Plus, Kalila?” ask Dimas. Kalila nodded. Who does not know the old band Koes Plus. They are even famous abroad.

“You know a piece of lyrics from one of their songs? People say, our land is the land of heaven. Sticks, wood and stone finished plants,” clear Dimas. The man was reading a poem now. “Didn't this happen like a picture of those lyrics. Cherry blossoms bloom more often, in our land Kalila. In indonesia. Our land, the land of heaven. Right?”

Somehow the sense of nationalism Kalila suddenly appeared to hear the words of Dimas. “True Bang!” kalila is proud. Kairav who stepped beside Kalila also nodded his head.

“Sakura flowers .. betrayed his country,” Kairav said later. Kalila, who was suddenly upset, immediately pinched her brother's waist. Kairav chuckled and immediately ran away from Kalila. Afraid of the attack that the girl would return to.

Though Dimas has described beautifully, how the land and climate of Indonesia is so good and suitable with exotic flowers. But Kairav could label the beautiful flower with the word traitor of the nation! It really pissed Kalila off.

While Dimas, Bu Alinah and Nek Laila, chuckled at Kalila who was now chasing Kairav with annoyance. It felt like a one-time pinch on his brother's waist, not quite qualified in reducing his sense of regret. Kalila must have bitten the man!

And chasing the chase between the two brothers, can only be stopped when Bu Alinah opens her voice. Kairav stuck out his tongue at Kalila, because the girl could not twitch. However, the fingers of Bu Alinah who turned Kairav's ears, made Kalila giggle.

They also enjoyed the beauty of the park.

Satisfied to walk around and take pictures in the cherry blossom garden, they ate lunch that had been prepared by Bu Alinah and Nek Laila this morning.

After being satisfied in the Sakura Flower Park, Dimas invited Kalila and her family to witness a giant carcass flower as high as 3.5 meters. One of the largest carcass flowers ever found. Kalila and her family were again amazed by the creature called plants.

Not just get there. Dimas invites them all, watching the plants that are usually not liked. Plants that may not be considered existences. However, in this Cibodas Botanical Garden, the plant has its own space. Made his own garden.

Dimas took Kalila and her family to Taman Lumut. You know moss? Sounds disgusting, no, if we hear that one plant. But the Cibodas Botanical Garden makes the moss a prima donna.

In fact, Taman Lumut is the largest Lumut Park in Indonesia and becomes the largest Outdoor Lumut Garden (outdoor) in the world which is used as a center for development and research.

“You know Kalila ... Now, you're in a park with 235 kinds of moss in it.”

Kalila's mouth gaped, hearing Dimas' explanation, while watching the moss field before her. The moss looks beautiful, even Kalila's eyes feel very cool when in the Moss Park.

Kalila did not stop being amazed. She took him around to amazing places. Who would have thought, you would find so many amazing things even if only from a bunch of plants. Living things are often forgotten and not appreciated its presence, because it does not move like humans and animals.

Today Kalila's eyes were completely pampered. Moreover Dimas is really smart to explain all the things that Kalila wants to know. The man was a really good tour guide. Kalila was always amazed. Even the change of place they were going to next, Kalila handed it to Dimas. Since the girl was sure, Dimas would return to take her to an amazing place.

Dimas brought Kalila and his family back to the Cisarua area. Actually Dimas wanted to invite them all to watch the sunset at the peak of the pass. But Dimas abandoned that intention. They only stopped by for a while to the Mosque in Puncak Pass area, to perform the prayer of Ashar, then moved back to the Cisarua area.

"Cimory?” ask Kalila. Dimas nodded proudly. Because his guess is right. Kalila was so happy to be there. “Lila loves her yogurt drink Bang! The milk also likes!” pekik Kalila's. Dimas nodded. He knew about it because yesterday he had monitored social media Kalila. Dimas really wanted to seize Kalila's attention. He wanted the girl to know that there was a man on this earth who was ready to bring him a lot of happiness.

They also had dinner there. While enjoying the view of the sunset is so beautiful and the sound of gurgling river water is so shahdu.

Not just eating and enjoying the natural scenery. Dimas also bought some souvenirs as souvenirs for Kalila. So that Kalila always remembers him.

The man bought a hat and a keychain in the shape of a cow. Dimas also bought some snacks and chocolates for their meal tomorrow, at the villa.

And Dimas immediately launched his vehicle. Go back to the villa and rest. They feel very tired.

And on this last day, before returning to Khalid's contract this afternoon, they enjoyed it while swimming in the pool in the backyard of the villa. Bu Alinah and Nek Laila even played with Dimas, Kalila and Kairav.

And today, even since yesterday, Dimas looks a little somber. Because now he is in Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Delivering Kalila and her family back to their hometown— Medan City.

Staring at Kalila, who was hugging tightly with the khalid. Because his brother will not come back to the field with them. When else can he meet the future mum?

Even now the girl who stole his heart was smiling sweetly while holding the hand of the man he admired. The man who was none other than his own cousin. There was a slight sense of pain in Dimas' chest, when he saw that scene. Although he had spent a lot of time with the cheerful girl, for Kalila, Ibrahim Adi Putra was still the most charming man.

Dimas continued to hope, Kalila will study in the same city with him, until they can meet every day. It's okay, even though in Kalila's heart there is only the name of Ibra— cousin. For Dimas, the most important thing was that he could see the enthusiastic face of Kalila every day, that alone was enough.

What a mature love, right? Love from a man who is only 18 years old.

This time Kalila approached Dimas who was staring at her. Kalila stretched out her hand. As usual, the girl smiled sumringah, “friends forever,” said Kalila.

There was a sense of obstruction in Dimas' neck, when he heard the sentence Kalila uttered. Friend forever.

Dimas smiled thinly. The man returned Kalila's hand. “How ... if a friend is in love?” Kalila just chuckled at Dimas' question. Ibrahim looked at Dimas. I don't know what's on the Pakistani guy's mind.

Smiling, Kalila waved her hand, before entering the boarding room.

“Until we meet again, Kalila.”
