First Love of Kalila

Eps. 30

After that, Ibrahim was invited to see Sigale-gale dance performances. There are already many tourists sitting in a tent that is prepared there. They were all waiting for the dance of a wooden statue named Sigale Gale.

Some tourists were asked to dance with the Sigale-gale statue. Ibrahim appeared to capture the incident with his cellphone.

During dancing, the statue is controlled by a player from behind, resembling a marionette doll using a hidden rope that connects the parts of the statue through a carved wooden podium on which it stands. This allows the arms, head and body to be moved.

“You know, Ba ... supposedly, he said, the number of ropes that move Sigale gale is equal to the number of veins in human hands,” said Khalid. Ibrahim nodded in amazement.

After watching the show, Ibrahim bought some souvenirs there.

Feeling worried about Kalila, Khalid decided to return to the inn before lunch time arrived. “Si Lila why the hell? From yesterday the behavior was strange,” Kairav said as soon as they were all in the car. They all raised their shoulders, a sign of not understanding with Kalila's attitude the past two days.

Feni. Mind floated. He clearly remembered Kalila's attitude in school. “What is possible ... Kalila doesn't like our relationship, Bang?” said Feni later. All eyes were now staring at the girl who had just been engaged to Khalid Nasution.

“No way,” firmly Khalid. Everyone in the car agreed with Khalid. Feni is Kalila's best friend. For sure he will be the happiest person with the relationship that took place between Khalid and Feni. Two people he really loved.

Feni also told about Kalila's attitude to him. Kalila is curious about her relationship with Khalid. “Means he sulks (pig) for not being told about your relationship,” said Bu Alinah.

“Mamak thought, Kalila just didn't know about the engagement yesterday. Turns out Lila also does not know about the relationship between the two of you?” continued the middle-aged woman. Feni and Khalid both shook their heads.

“To be frank Bang, when you said you were getting engaged to Feni, I was surprised too. Moreover, you just told me the night. Moreover, Lila who just knew your engagement problems during the event yesterday,” cebik Kairav. The man also did not get out of thought with the attitude of Khalid who planned his engagement alone. Even Bu Alinah and Nek Laila, only found out after Khalid arrived in the city of Medan.

“This is also sudden. Feni doesn't want to and can't date. His family offered to marry. It just so happened that Brother came home. Yasudah, rather than taken,” explained Khalid as he glanced towards the downcast Feni.

The girl seemed to feel very guilty about Kalila. “If so, we should explain to Lila, Bang. We have to persuade him not to get angry again,” said Feni. Khalid nodded. But the next second, Khalid shook his head.

“Do not we, Deck. Let Ibra persuade him. You want to, don't you, Ba?”

“Ap Ibra?!” ask Kairav.

“Liar Lila quickly withered. You don't mind, do you, Ba?”

Ibrahim shook his head. “No problem, Bang,” replied Ibrahim. The man even smiled a little. Since arriving in the city of Medan, he had never had a conversation with Kalila. This time the opportunity came.

The weather around Samosir Island was quite cool that afternoon. Kalila was sitting relaxed on a bench by the lake, when her family arrived at the inn. In the courtyard of the inn there are indeed many lounge chairs for tourists to enjoy the beauty of Lake Toba. especially when the afternoon, sunset will look very beautiful from there.

“Please help ya Ba,” said Khalid while patting Ibrahim on the shoulder. Ibrahim agreed. The man immediately approached Kalila.

“Assalamualaikum,” greet Ibrahim. Kalila looked at the glance and answered the greeting made by Ibrahim. The girl looked back, looking for the whereabouts of her family members. But no one saw there. There was only Ibrahim who had now sat on the beach bench next to him.

“It's finished its streets, Bang?” ask Kalila. Ibrahim nodded, “iya,” Ibrahim replied briefly. Kalila just nodded at the man's answer. Actually Kalila wanted to ask the whereabouts of her family.

Where are they going? Why not look? Why not come near him? Did they really not care about their feelings? Are they too happy, because they get a new family candidate to forget him?

There is so much that Kalila wants to ask. But his tongue felt ugly. You know for yourself, Kalila's prestige is so high.

“You, until when will you silence your family, Kalila?” Kalila turned her head, not answering the question thrown by Khalid. The girl just smiled faintly. “They worry about you.”

“You know why I chose to vacation here Kalila?” Kalila shook her head. Ibrahim also showed his best smile. The smile that made Kalila's heart beat faster now.

“I want to go on vacation while looking at your cheerful face— Kalila.”

If seeing Ibrahim's smile alone had made Kalila's heart beat faster, now the speech that came out of Ibrahim's lips, made the heart almost explode. For whatever sake, Kalila really did not expect that Ibrahim would want to see her.

Do you miss the man, after their separation at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, six months ago? Did Abraham feel the same way he did?

Kalila's heart and brain seemed to want to break, just by imagining the possibility. It is likely that Ibrahim will return his joy.

Looking at the frozen Kalila, Ibrahim again presented that deadly smile. “Can you come back cheerful again Kalila? I really wanted to start my master's education in a country of people, remembering my colorful vacation. With you, with your family,” said Ibrahim softly. Kalila nodded her head quickly. The girl even showed me a row of white teeth.

“Then, you are ready, to talk to the others?”

Kalila nodded her head again. “Mood I've also been pretty good since then, Bang.”

“Oh yes? Is it because since then you are alone, so you can think clearly and improve your mood?” ask Ibrahim. Kalila smiled and shook her head slowly.

“Because it turns out, what I'm dealing with is not worth the problems that others are facing. It turns out that there is a human child who has been so disappointed for so long but still tries to shine a light on the surroundings. Why can't Lila be like that too?

Trying to explain the situation that has already happened. Forgive anything that makes this feeling in the heart so painful.”

“You are smart at stringing words, Kalila,” said Ibrahim smiling. The girl smiled too. “Keep cheerful. Do you know .. Because of your joy, I rewind my scheduled departure to Singapore. I want to replenish this self-energy, before struggling with my master's education for two years.”

Kalila wanted to faint. The girl was almost out of oxygen. Word by word strung from Ibrahim's lips, making the girl forget to breathe.

“If I were Bang Khalid, I would do the same. When I feel ready, I will propose to my beloved girl soon. Because I am the same, decided not to date,” Ibrahim said.

Kalila still couldn't say a word now. His mouth formed the letter O.

“I hope, my beloved girl, will wait until I am ready.”

The deg!

Kalila was again glued. Again, the girl forgot to breathe.

Did Bang Ibra ask me to wait for her? Waiting for him to be ready to propose to me?
