First Love of Kalila

Eps. 59

One week passed, ever since Kalila set foot in her eldest sister's residence. Today, Khalid had an appointment with Ibrahim, at a food stall, not far from the tutelage, where they had taught. The place where Khalid first met Ibrahim.

This food stall is a place to eat that is often visited by Khalid and Ibrahim, when they were still mentors, in the past.

After making small talk about their later lives, about their respective jobs, Khalid made his point.

“Lila lives in Bogor now, you know?”

Ibrahim turned his head, “tinggal here? Staying with Brother?”

“Ya should stay with you. There is no way my beloved sister, I let me spend alone,” khalid explained. “You don't know if Lila lives here? Lila has even stayed at home for one week,” continued Khalid.

“Ibra knows that Lila is in Bogor. I don't know if I'm going to live in this city. Ibra thought Lila was just visiting Abang's house. Vacation, like that time,” explained Ibrahim. He has not communicated with Kalila since the girl was in Bogor. Ibrahim even knew about Kalila who was in the city of Bogor, because he saw the upload on the girl's social media account.

“No Ba, Lila now lives in Bogor. He is looking for a job that suits his studies.” Khalid is lowering his self-esteem. “In your company, are there no job openings that fit the background of Lila?”

Ibrahim was silent for a moment. Actually the man was a little reluctant if it had to be an office with Kalila. For some reason, since Kalila did not pass the entrance exam of Bogor Agricultural University, Ibrahim felt a little disappointed with the girl. Especially when Kalila received her third diploma and graduated within four years. Ibrahim again felt disappointed with the girl who had once stolen his essence.

It turns out Kalila isn't as smart as she seems. Not as smart as the stories Khalid told you all along.

Receiving Kalila in her family's company, makes Ibrahim afraid to give the girl a job. If the girl joins PT Adi Putra Group because of her recommendation, and Kalila is not working well, her good name could be tarnished. He would be ashamed, for recommending the wrong person.

If offering lower-level jobs to Kalila, of course Ibrahim feels bad for Khalid. The man who works

“It seems like there is currently no vacancy that is right for Lila, Bang. Later, if there is a job vacancy yes fitting, I will definitely give news to Abang,” said Ibrahim later.

Khalid was slightly surprised by Ibrahim's words. Isn't that guy one of the directors there. Even one of the heirs to the throne Adi Putra. How is it possible, giving Kalila a job, she can't?

That is the meaning of Khalid's gaze on Ibrahim. The man seemed to be able to read the meaning of Khalid's gaze.

“Ibra can't possibly give indiscriminate work to Lila, right Bang. Ibra will give the right job, for a Lila,” Ibrahim said later. A smile formed on Khalid's face. The man seemed to be nodding his head, “ alright then. But don't tell Abang, you just tell Kalila right away. So you can meet and discuss his work.”

Ibrahim nods, “iya Bang.”

Nearly two hours Khalid and Ibrahim chatted, from reminiscing about the past, to talking about the future. “So, you have no plans to marry Ba?” Ibrahim shook his head, “there are still many targets to achieve, Bang,” he replied firmly. Khalid also asked about the woman who was now close to Ibrahim, as his mother had said.

“Ibra is not in one relationship with any woman, Bang.”

Khalid smiled, the man even patted Khalid on the shoulder.

Raindrops drenched the streets of Bogor that afternoon. Khalid, who was behind the wheel, directed the vehicle to one of the malls far from his residence. After this morning delivering his four favorite women, now the man must return to the mall, to pick up his family.

Feni and Bu Alinah were sitting in front of the playground when Khalid arrived at the mall. “Mana Nissa?” abraham asked when he did not see his son there.

“Still playing inside, with Lila,” replied Feni. Khalid nodded too. The man took a position and sat down next to his wife.

After waiting for an hour, Nissa's playing time was up. Kalila came out of the playground with the little girl.

One week living in the city of Bogor, Nissa has been very attached to Kalila. Ever since the little girl opened her eyes, her tiny legs immediately ran looking for Kalila. Nissa even just wants to shower and eat with Kalila. Kalila was exactly like a baby sitter the last few days.

Bathing Nissa, feeding her, even playing with the little girl. Dimas kept chuckling every time Kalila told him about Nissa's behavior every day, from morning until she fell asleep. Be Dimas and Kalila like a married couple in a long distance relationship. Usually people call it LDM— Long Distance Marriage.

Ms. Alinah can only shake her head while smiling amusedly, each stealing Dimas and Kalila's talk every night. Ms. Alinah always pretends to have fallen asleep so that Kalila and Dimas are more free to tell stories.

Ms. Alinah also always thanked in her heart, every time Kalila ended her video call. The middle-aged woman felt grateful, there was Dimas who accompanied her daughter's days, even if only virtually. Bu Alinah even hoped, Dimas could accompany Kalila. Even though the middle-aged woman knew, if Kalila was more expecting Ibrahim to be her companion later.

May the mother's prayer work this time, so that the readers are happy, Kalila match with Dimas. Didn't they?

***

Splitting the streets of Bogor at night, Khalid began to recount his encounter with Ibrahim, earlier this afternoon. Kalila heard it enthusiastically. The girl missed her heart so much. I think he wants to meet Ibrahim.

But, let alone to meet, just reply to a short message, they no longer do. His last communication with Ibrahim came a month ago, when Ibrahim was reviewing a project in Aceh. Kalila commented on the post on Ibrahim's social media page. The girl mince words asking Ibrahim to stop by Medan. Because the distance from Aceh to Medan is not too far, and can be reached by land. However, at that time, of course Ibrahim answered him with a sentence of rejection.

“ Anyway, if there is a job vacancy in Adi Putra Group, Ibrahim will directly contact you. Make sure your phone is always active,” Khalid said. Kalila was enthusiastic.

Since then, Kalila has been waiting for Ibrahim to contact her.
