First Love of Kalila

Eps. 71

Dimas was stunned in his room. The man still remembered very well, twisting on the blackish bead of Kalila. The girl looked uneasy, but could not hide her happiness. Kalila said that if Ibrahim contacted him. His cousin even invited Kalila to meet. Tomorrow, the girl will meet with Ibrahim. Ibrahim Adi Putra, whom Kalila adored.

Is that right, that cousin of hers is going to propose to Kalila soon?

Did he see Kalila with Ibrahim?

Will he lose hope, making Kalila his mother?

For some reason, the man's body trembled. Dimas scared. He was really scared. The expression that she will feel happy if Kalila is happy even with other men, all seems to be a joke. Everybody lies! The hoax!

In fact, he is not willing. He's not really ready. He didn't want Kalila to belong to another man. He wants to have that girl.

But ...

Dimas can't do anything. His promise—their promise—to be friends forever, get in the way of Dimas. It prevents the man from fighting for his love.

Can't a real man break a promise?

Either because of his promise, or because Dimas was as cowardly as that, to take refuge behind the promise he made with Kalila.

Clearly, Dimas was not trying to make the girl fall for him. Dimas did not plan to seize the girl from his cousin Ibrahim—. The man will really try to have fun, when he sees a happy smile engraved on Kalila's face, when the girl is next to Ibrahim, later.

“Should I keep this flavor forever, Kalila?”

***

While Kalila, after making a video call with Dimas, could finally feel a little relieved. The suggestions spoken by Dimas, were able to make the girl's feelings, a little calmer.

“Follow your heart, Kalila. If you really want her to be your escort ... Accept her. Forget every mistake he ever made, forget it. Accept her, and be happy, Kalila.”

Kalila took a long breath. Although the turmoil of his heart had calmed down a little, the girl was still unable to fall asleep. Even now, time has shown at one in the morning.

Being a companion of Ibrahim was Kalila's desire long ago. Even since the first time they met. But the attitude of Ibrahim who never gave news to Kalila— when they were in the same city— made Kalila feel upset, and began to try to forget the man.

But destiny says something else. When Kalila decides to learn to forget Ibrahim, when Kalila is looking for someone to be her love escape, Ibrahim instead contacts her and invites her to meet, tomorrow.

[Sleep Kalila, you don't want to look pale when you meet A' Ibra, tomorrow do you?]

Such was the content of a short message sent by Dimas, when Kalila complained that she was still unable to fall asleep.

Not wanting to look chaotic when meeting Ibrahim tomorrow, Kalila tried to fall asleep. The girl closed her eyes, putting aside the thoughts that kept on flashing through her mind.

The time now shows at two o'clock in the afternoon. The sun looks timid behind the clouds. The city of Bogor looked cool that afternoon. The breeze also adds to the coolness of the city which is also known as the city of lightning.

A man wearing a navy blue shirt is behind the wheel at the moment. Splitting the streets of Bogor city is quite crowded on weekends like this. Traveling for thirty minutes, the man finally arrived in front of a house with a fence painted in black.

“Assalamualaikum,” Ibrahim said, after the man parked his vehicle. Khalid, who knew Ibrahim was coming, was waiting on the porch. The man rushes to open the fence and allows Ibrahim to enter.

Khalid warmly welcomed his old friend. Speaking on the porch, the two men smiled, when they saw Kalila carrying a tray of two glasses of warm sweet tea and a snack made by Feni.

After serving drinks and snacks, Kalila immediately withdrew from the two men who were busy chatting.

Thirty minutes passed, Khalid stepped in and called out to Kalila. Ask the girl to accompany Ibrahim.

“Bang Ibra wants to talk about what the hell, Bang?” kalila asked, as Khalid approached her.

“You just meet him. You ask directly,” said Khalid. The face of the elder brother Kalila was so shining. He was so happy, because Ibrahim met Kalila.

Hope still exists.

The sentence was constantly recited by Khalid. The man's eyes sparkled. Imagine if his brother would come back close to Ibrahim.

“Abang was very happy, because they finally met again,” Khalid told his wife. The couple, even took refuge in their room, because they did not want to disturb the time of Ibrahim and Kalila.

“Even Ibra who invited Lila to meet. Never in history, an Ibrahim Adi Putra, invited women to meet!” Feni just shook her head, looking at her husband's behavior.

Unlike Khalid, Feni did not like the meeting between Kalila and Ibrahim. The woman did not like Abraham very much. The man had made his best friend wait. It even makes his best friend look pathetic, always hoping for something uncertain.

“How are you, La?” greet Ibrahim, as soon as Kalila sat on the chair beside him. The small table became the barrier of the two young men.

After four years of not seeing each other, this was the first time they had ever seen each other again. Breeze on the porch of the house, adding coolness in the heart of Kalila.

“Alhamdulillah, Healthy Bang.”

Ibrahim just nodded and smiled. Kalila replied to Ibrahim with the same question. And the man replied with the same answer.

No further talks afterwards. For some reason, the atmosphere became stiff. Ibrahim and Kalila look clumsy. The pair of young men were silent for a while, until Kalila ventured to ask.

“Bang Ibra, want to talk about what?” ask Kalila. The girl was really curious. Even Kalila had a hard time falling asleep last night, because she was too curious. The girl only slept for three hours, last night.

Ibrahim turned his head, looking at the girl who was now sitting right next to him. Ibrahim gave his deathly smile first.

“Our company is opening job vacancies in the design and planning part of building construction. I think you fit into that position. Right under my auspices as planning director.”

Kalila's hope of Ibrahim proposing to her, dashed already. In fact, the man came to talk about work.
