First Love of Kalila

Eps. 5

(Still) ... Khalid Nasution Point of View

It still crossed my mind, when me, Rav and mamak caught my father making out with a woman. We had not met for nearly a year at that time. Dad left us, ever since Kalila was in the womb. In fact, I was singing the Adhan with my grandfather in Kalila's ear when she was just born into the world, because my father was not there. Even to this day, I have never met Kalila.

Even though I was only five years old at the time, I can still clearly remember the incident. Maybe what was recorded clearly in my memory was not that incident. Because I've seen my dad make out with other women. I've even been married a few times.

“Bang ... Don't overstrain Lila. Not all men are as fuck as fathers.”

“Abang just wanted to make sure, Lila got the best man. A man who not only loves him, but guides him. Brother in lieu of father, has an obligation to it.”

I saw Rav just sigh at the statement I gave. Let him consider me a dictator or whatever. I just want everything to go fine. To Kalila. And for all of us.

“Please protect Kalila. Please take care of my mom. Take care of this house and family. Sorry to share this burden with you, Rav.”

Rav nodded, “I try to keep everything as good as possible Bang. Although I know, I can't take better care of them than Abang.”

I heard the intonation of Rav's voice change. There's a little vibration there.

That crazy time crying?

My intentions also appeared. I want to prank my crazy sister before leaving her with a lot of burdens tomorrow. I went back to fishing and he spoke.

“Abang sure you can Rav. Sorry Brother, all this time Brother has not been a good example for you and Kalila.”

“Abang has become an excellent Brother,” he replied. The sound of Rav's voice was getting clearer. I can no longer resist the tickling feeling in this stomach. I slowly shifted my seat and looked at the lowered direction.

“Hey, Rav ... Crying you yes,” my ledek. Rav looks annoyed and instead swears at me.

“Indeed human lakn*t you Bang!” he said, throwing a pillow at my face. I also chuckle at it. Rav still threw away his face. It seems like he is wiping away his tears. I pulled her arm so she could look at me. My sister who is now in the 2nd grade of High School still does not want to look at me, maybe she is embarrassed. I looked at him while holding back amusedly.

The rav always looks without a load. Rav who always made the whole house shake his head and laugh with his silly behavior, is now wiping away the tears in front of me. Even during the sungkeman procession when eid is fitri, the crazy boy always put up his grin. But this time he shed tears.

I patted both his shoulders. The crazy one became sobbing. Maybe he thought, I'll give you other wobbles. Because as soon as I finish speaking. Rav immediately threw out both of my hands that were holding his shoulders.

“Could cry also you, Rav.”

That's what I told him. I giggled at her reaction that blew my hand away.

“Abang thought you didn't have a heart all this time. Turns out to be able to cry too,” I said while giggling. It managed to make this clumsy sister even more upset. All the pillows on this bed were floating towards me.

The Author Point of View

The day on which Khalid would leave his entire family to pursue his only education.

Today Kairav and Kalila are delivering the departure of Bu Alinah and Khalid to the airport. After dawn they were all prepared, because the plane boarded by Bu Alinah and Khalid would fly at 11:00 AM local time, which means they have to arrive at the airport at 09:00 AM local time.

The road was a little slow that morning. The car they were riding in, drove off without a hitch. Kalila remained silent on the way to the airport. The teenage girl continued to wrestle spoiled on her mother's arm. Khalid was busy watching the scene from the rearview mirror.

Ah ... It was so heavy that Khalid's heart left his two favorite women. Since they left the father, Khalid immediately positioned himself as a protector for his family members. He doesn't want one of his family members to be hurt. Especially Kalila ....

After his father disappeared from their lives, Khalid was the guardian of the teenage girl now. He really took care of Kalila.

Khalid didn't let any man get close to Kalila, all this time. Because Khalid is afraid, Kalila will feel heartbreak when breaking up. He really did not want his beloved sister to feel pain even a little. Even Khalid did not let Kalila train on a bicycle, fearing that his sister would fall.

There must be no single wound perched on Kalila's body. Especially heart. That's how Khalid took care of Kalila.

Therefore, Khalid's departure became a heavy burden for Kairav. This second son of Bu Alinah, felt unable to take care of Kalila like Khalid.

Actually he felt sorry for Kalila whose life was full of rules from Khalid. He had planned to give his little sister some freedom. He will allow Kalila to get along a lot, especially with the opposite sex.

But on the other hand, Kairav is also afraid that Kalila will get hurt, and he will be blamed by Khalid. Even he would definitely blame himself, for not being able to take good care of Kalila. Because of her, I didn't want Kalila to feel any pain.

The two sons of Bu Alinah were busy with their own thoughts. The education that Khalid was going to live in the rainy city completely changed the course of their lives. Khalid, who had planned to be next to Kalila, had to leave the teenage girl. Had to leave that responsibility to Kairav.

While Kairav has not been too sure of the new responsibilities he carries. Moreover, he had to give up his dream to study in the capital. There was already a basketball club that offered him to join there and become a professional basketball player. However, Khalid's departure, makes Kairav have to give up his dream.

All the passengers in the online taxi were busy with their thoughts. The driver, however, continued to focus on driving his vehicle, splitting the road quickly. Until before 09:00 AM local time, they have arrived there. At Kualanamu International Airport, Deli Serdang - North Sumatra.
