Picking Up the Past

Hobbies and Dreams

Arya then pulled Mila's hand again which made the girl always amazed with Arya's attitude, “we go where Arya” asked Mila in her shocked tone, “follow Mil” replied Arya.

They then sit on one side of the waterfall lake, Arya submerges her feet into the water that feels natural cool, and Mila follows Arya activities by opening her socks without lifting her robe, so that the robe and also the black pants in it were wet almost half his knees.

“you can feel the water Mil?” ask Arya slowly.

“so cool Arya, this is completely natural yes, rarely do I feel the water kayak gini, not cold and not warm, really cool” said Mila enjoying the water at her feet.

“I even want to wash my face with this water now” continued Mila again.

“nature is natural Mil, pure creation of God, what nature provides, it is definitely in accordance with our instincts and needs of man, in contrast to human creation, the creation of man will not be able to meet the needs of us humans, the effect it gives will also not last long Mil. riding a horse is much more able to calm me than riding hysteria, riding the kayak ride did make my adrenaline increase but could not comfort and calm my heart" said Arya.

"i prefer to see waterfalls like this, climb and see the sunrise, or sit on the beach looking at the sunset, or also many others like seeing savanna like in Baluran, Baluran, instead of going to the mall, or the playground, it does not calm me down at all said Arya again, he then turned his eyes towards Mila.

“have you ever done that all Arya?” ask Mila to Arya.

“already, and it's fun"

"your life is really fun, much different from my mono life all this time" said Mila with sadness.

"you should enjoy life as you want Mil, like me, the cost needed for a hobby like me is also not as much as the cost of shopping in mall” said Arya slowly.

“aku to the mall is also not always shopping, just looking around is enough to wash your eyes, and also most people choose to the mall right because they do not have much time for a vacation to see the natural beauty of kayak gini, what else is an office family like my family, like my family, their vacation time is very little not to mention the cost” reply Mila on Arya speech.

“iya I know, but still it's all an option, I even prefer like this than being an office” person Arya replied briefly.

“and brother Rita who became his victim, because you often go, he's the one who became a lot of work” reply Mila again.

“because she doesn't like kayak gini things, I took her to the tea garden just she refused, she and her husband prefer to go to the mall and cinema, she said, maybe with it all the burden can be reduced” replied Arya.

“your hobby must be very expensive Arya, how much does it cost you to visit all those places?” asked Mila by still playing her feet in the water, the sound of the waterfall made their atmosphere feel calmer.

“all those things must have taken Mil's sacrifice, for all of this, I never set foot in the mall to waste my money, everything I had I bought at five feet, I never set foot in the mall, including my clothes, my work clothes are all prepared by Rita, I also prefer that small contract rather than buying an apartment, because for me the real house is this nature, enough 1 carrier, 1 tent, and so on, 1 mattress, and 1 sleeping bag, I can go wherever I want, enjoy everything” said Arya casually.

“iya, almost every week I always go out of town to see nature, and in a month I can climb 2-3 times, I don't care as much as any money and my time runs out, the important thing is that my eyes can be satisfied by nature" said Arya.

"i used to take Ari and Tomy for backpackers abroad, but Ari was too scared to leave the company, and Tomy also didn't have the courage to, I just want to see every corner of this world in my short life Mil, I want to see every beauty of God's creation with my own eyes” said Arya again.

“what wedding have we taken away your freedom, Arya? after we got married you just went climbing once and also just went 3 weeks to Sulawesi”, Mila said with a worried tone.

“as I said, everything needs sacrifice, to be by your side and get your heart, I have to sacrifice it all, I must also be aware, I must also be aware, that I have limitations to realize my desire to see every corner of this world, I have to work for you and our little family, I also have to restore my father's good name, he said, maybe now is the point where I have to let go of that desire for a better life in front of” said Arya who made Mila glazed and sobbed.

“you why Mil?” tanya Arya pulled Mila's chin and looked into Mila's teary eyes.

“Sorry Arya, I just remembered my past sins, you sacrificed all your hobbies and desires for me, but I betrayed you instead, I really don't deserve to get sorry from you” Mila said removing Arya's hand from her chin.

Arya then pulled Mila by the shoulder and placed Mila's body on her body, while their feet were still enjoying the coolness of the water, the sound of the waterfall made Mila's guilty heart quickly become relieved.

“we are here to spend time together, not to be sad - sad Mil, don't you want to know about me, I want to tell you about this breath-like hobby for me, maybe this is one side of me Mil" said Arya paused for a moment.

"perhaps later we can really go to Paris and Hagia sopia, maybe later we can also see the mountains of the Alps, Mount Fuji, Iceland, the middle east, Egypt, and other beautiful places, Egypt, and I want to enjoy it all with you Mil, and later also with our little angel if God meridhoi” continued Arya again by gently stroking the stomach of Mila.

Mila then clasped Arya's hand on her stomach. “I am not pregnant Arya, do not stroke my stomach like this, amused tau” said Mila slowly. His heart felt so relieved and happy to hear Arya's words.

‘ya Lord, grant my husband's wish, our permission to have a child and see the beauty of this Thy world with our little family' Mila prayed in his heart.

“enough with nature, all my burdens will feel lost Mil, if you need anything other than this, just say, I will be happy to obey your wishes” continued Arya while gently stroking Mila's cheek from behind her veil.

“I need you Arya, that's all, your presence by my side is enough to make me calm” Mila said meaningfully which made Arya smile.

“what are you doing to me now?” arya said casually.

“I'm just like you Arya, I can't be sloppy, everything is honest from my heart” Mila said leaning her head on Arya's arm.

Arya briefly kissed Mila's temple, they then stared in the same direction, seeing the beautiful waterfall.
