A day after vacationing in Tanah Karo, Dimas returned to the Lion country. With a grim face, Kalila drove her best friend to the airport.
“Should Bang Dim rest first today. Tomorrow we will return to Singapore.” Dimas just smiled and rattled little Kalila's hair.
“Just last night, we arrived in Medan, and now, early in the morning, we are already at the airport,” said Kalila. The girl even let out a long breath. Longing for Dimas, not even erased, and now, the man must return to his place of education— Singapore.
“Lila is still tired. Bang Dim must have been more tired of having to drive.”
“That's why I told you, you don't have to take me to the airport, Kalila. Just rest at home I don't want you tired and sick,” said Dimas. Kalila's face was still grim. The presence of Dimas for four days beside her, really made Kalila come back carefree and excited. It felt like he didn't have to worry about anything, if there was Dimas beside him.
But now, the man really had to leave. Leaving Kalila, returning to Singapore, back to her routine. Work with a thesis that is soon completed. Walking hand in hand with Kalila in the airport hallway, Dimas stopped his steps right in front of the grim Kalila.
“I really can't delay my departure back to Singapore, Kalila. Tomorrow early in the morning, I have to see the supervising lecturer. Two weeks away, I should've had a thesis hearing. And by the end of next month, I already have to get into the company,” explained Dimas. With her mouth frowning, Kalila looked at Dimas. Look closely at the man.
“Before I enter the boarding gate, Can't you give me that shining smile of yours, Kalila?”
Kalila forced her smile, looking at the man. Dimas returned the forced smile shown by Kalila. The man then rattled Kalila's hair.
“Until we meet again, Kalila.”
“Until we meet again, Bang Dim.”
Kalila let out a heavy sigh, watching Dimas who was stepping further and further. Every now and then the man turned around, turned his head towards Kalila, and waved his hand with a smile.
Kalila decided to go straight back home, as soon as Dimas' back was no longer visible.
Walking to the airport train station, Kalila also left the Kualanamu International Airport area.

Days passed ...
The business of Kalila's graduation papers at two universities, has been completed. The girl just wanted to find a job. That's how Kalila thought. Kalila is trying to apply for a job in her hometown. Several times Kalila took tests at several companies. That certainly makes Khalid angry. Because the man wanted Kalila to work for the Ibrahim family-owned company. His ambition, demanding that the younger brother, should be part of the Adi Putra family. His sister should live happily. Married a good man. That kind of life is what Kalila— deserves, Khalid thought.
Khalid asked Kalila to fly to Jakarta and live with him in Bogor.
“Bang ... There was one company where Lila applied for a job. Just waiting for the decision to be accepted or rejected. If it is rejected, then Kalila left for Bogor,” said the girl, when Khalid contacted Kalila via video call.
“Ah ... You are this, so stubborn! Forget about that company. Is the company bigger than Adi Putra Group? No, right?!”
Kalila was silent. It's too bad he's pounding with Khalid. Whatever he says, it's certainly not going to change Khalid's decision. He had to hurry to Bogor.
“Prepare your stuff, clothes, diploma, everything. Brother will buy you and Mamak tickets. Next week, you leave for Bogor. My brother told this to Mamak. You just have to prepare yourself.”
Kalila nodded slowly and decided on the video call unilaterally. The girl threw herself onto the bed, sighing deeply as she stared at the ceiling of the room. It's time to stay another week. The girl hoped, a work call from the company she was in, to hire her soon.

While in the land of lions, Dimas was struggling with his thesis. Unlike Ibrahim who took two majors, Dimas only took one master program, so the grandfather demanded it to be completed in two years. No less, no more.
Dimas also tried desperately to grant it. Dimas also wants to be a grandson of pride, like Ibrahim. Dimas also wanted his grandfather to glance at him, even for a moment.
While in the city of Rain, Ibrahim is busy working on their new company project. International scale project that successfully obtained by Ibrahim easily. This made my grandfather proud of him. Just as Khalid was proud of his family, Ibrahim was.
Ibrahim is a pride for the Adi Putra family. There is not a single question, which the man of Pakistani blood cannot do. Almost perfect as a man. That is the figure of Ibrahim.
Dimas even blatantly said, if she were a woman, it would definitely fall in love with Ibrahim. For that, Dimas understood, if Kalila was more enamored of his cousin.
Since their separation at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, when Kalila visited Bogor— five years ago, Dimas has expressed his feelings. The words of Kalila who said if they were friends forever, the eyes of Kalila when shaking hands with Ibrahim, at that time, enough to make Dimas self-conscious. Let fate determine who is Kalila's soul mate.
Let Kalila's heart belong to Abraham. He felt enough, just being by the girl's side. Being the front guard to make Kalila happy, making the girl always cheerful.
Shouldn't love be like that? Sick because he saw it sad, and also feel happy because he saw himself happy, even if not with us?
Kalila who is like that, indeed deserves a man as perfect as Ibrahim. That's how Dimas managed to stay on Kalila's side. The man always reminded himself, if Kalila indeed deserved to be side by side with his cousin Ibrahim—.
Relented?
Surrender?
No ... No, Dimas didn't give up. Dimas is not giving up. The man called it self-conscious. Realize that he is not as perfect as Ibrahim. Realize that he is not the man Kalila loves. Love cannot be forced, right?
Like her who could not forget Kalila, so did the girl. Kalila could not forget Abraham. The girl really fell for the charm of Ibrahim Adi Putra.
