'yes. this is called sarabah if in makassar, uh this is an epe banana, you have not eaten, right?' while opening the black package earlier, it contains a few pieces of banana that are slightly blackened and there is also a kind of sauce from durian, wrapped neatly with banana leaves.

'ah. thanks, what a coincidence I just ate this morning.' said inspired excited while biting the banana given by Nira.

'ee.. yummy..hehe, delicious.' said the inspiration exclaims, while eating the banana greedily.

'that's the original makassar loh, banana epe name, in bengkulu nga there is right?, heheheh' said nira chuckled.

'yeeee. yes, but this sauce I magic so good food yes.. Look..' Saying inspiration while reaching for something from inside his bag, thought confused to see it.

'wah, from durian yak? Delicious. tasty. heheh, so want to go to bengkulu sometime, hehe' reply with a sweet smile.

The two talked for so long, much they told me that they could not say just through chatting, without feeling the day had pointed at 10 pm..

'what about it, I have to go to the inn around hasanudin university, what's the good ride?' ask inspiration to nira

'i take the bike, ride my bike, I'll take it there and I'll go home..'

'who really..?'

'hhhd..!!!' nira sebal.

'sorry. sorry, yuk where is the bike..?' ask inspiration

'it's there.. Come on.' replied Nira while pointing towards the motor.

'so who brought this..?' Ask nira..

'hmm. funny also yes if the girl is piggybacked, fine if so, I bring it but later you tell me the way..'

'ready boss..' Answer nira.

Inspiration brings the bike slowly in accordance with the instructions of the nira, as well as the nira so eagerly point the way to inspiration. both are so happy, it is not necessary to reveal how much they both like each other, and it is not necessary to just say 'I love you' to tie the bond of love between the two of them..

A linked heart.. Although a long distance separated them. ilham remembered the words kak samil tempo first, the,

'love will come just when we really need it, now God thinks there are more important things that you should think about, so that he prevents you from feeling that pseudo love,.'

'remember.. There's a much better girl waiting for you to come, believe me.'

Ilham smiled to himself considering this, the wind mamiri hit every inch on his face..

The inspired motorbike stopped in front of a university that was so big.

'thank you very much nir.' said the inspiration with a smile of relief..

'so this is how it is? What fees..?' Canda nira's..

Inspiration confusion he reached into his pocket

'hahahaha, joking ding.. So when did the show end?' ask nira

'a week anyway.it was straight home..' Say ilham slowly..

Nira's face turned sad, she did not expect her meeting would only be this short.

'but I try to be finished 1 day before the event is over.' said ilham excited.

Suddenly, Nira's face turned so happy..

'haa.. who really?, so can the streets donk.. later where?' nira is excited.

'hemmmm.. where are yaaaa..?' murmured thinking,

'how if.. This bujang raflesia blooms in losariii..?' Ask inspiration..

'hahahaha. may also. eventually my prayer was answered..' Reply to me again the same as when they last chat..

'haa.. Doaa?' ilham god..

'no. ngak.. I was wrong to say, yes already.next week early in the morning in the writing losari ya..!!!' said Nira while soon passing with a red face of her meronanya resisting embarrassment..

'siapp.' cried inspiration so happy, inspiration to see the full moon that shines bright that night, a light that had also seen before.. different this time he saw it from a much different place, and also maybe he did not see it himself, because the girl in the red building was also momentarily looking towards the full moon.

Secretly inspired had photographed Nira who was riding his motorcycle before going so far, seen in his old stage, hape, a red hooded girl riding a motorcycle in the middle of the calm of the night in Makassar was illuminated by the bright moon at the end there.

Even so happy with his meeting with Nira, inspiration remains focused on his main goal to come here, following reasonable and training that is closely related to the unit he lived in the organization at the university of Bengkulu.

In the morning he had rushed up pete-pete designation for angkot in Makassar to immediately go to losari, looked so crowded there because it had a weekend.

'thank you sir.' said ilham while giving 3 thousand rupiah to the pete-pete driver,

He looked confused looking for the figure, the figure of a sweet red hooded girl who like a dream he met last week, he was looking among the crowd that was so crowded with their respective activities..

Still no. He was not here, repeatedly inspired to look for it but he did not find the girl..

Ilham ran towards the crowd who were so crowded that the girl with the red hood was there, but only the monkey mask he met.

Ilham ran towards the girls who were so crowded in a corner near the writing of Makassar is so big, but he did not meet the sweet girl.

Ilham ran towards the motorbike parking lot, who knew the girl was there waiting for him, but also he could not find any room there..

'where are you nira?' Murmuring anxious inspiration, he was sure that the girl would not break his promise.

Until finally the inspiration was exhausted. and sitting in one of the places in the closet, he waited for the girl to come to him, wanted him to contact her but free, he waited, he forgot to ask her address and phone number.

Finally just waiting for the inspiration to do at that time..

Not felt the ashar adhan was reverberating from the amirul mukminin mosque, the floating mosque that was there..

Nira still never arrived, finally the inspiration went to the mosque to pray ashar.

Inspiration to the mosque, it looks not so crowded, there are only 1 – 2 people who also worship, inspiration to take ablution and pray there too.

Ilham was surprised, during his prayer there was a figure who also prayed there, a girl, but the inspiration did not know who it was, the girl followed like being imami by inspiration, but the inspiration did not know, until when the inspiration finished praying and saying greetings, he immediately turned there but he did not meet a girl..

Inspiration thinks he's just hallucinating..

Without realizing it there was indeed a girl who became his aunt a moment ago, who was hiding behind the walls of the mosque and paying attention to it..

He was a noble, he had been hiding from behind, he was eager to meet and spend the day with him, but after feeling lost for 1 week, he was very anxious, nira can not afford to just meet who will eventually go back apart until the time that does not know when it comes.. Thoughtful heart could not get close to a man he loved, which he did not realize how much more painful the young man's heart could not meet and chat with him on that day.

The day of the return of inspiration to Bengkulu finally arrived, boarding a bus that had been prepared by the committee at the university of hassanudin, they will immediately leave for the airport of the sultan hasanudin to return to their respective regions.

Repeatedly inspired to check and send the existence of nira, but nira did not go active as before, inspired riled, but he still tried to be sincere.. perhaps it is impossible to establish a relationship in the middle of a distance that is even too far for them to two reach, a thing that is so impossible in the eyes of inspiration.

The bus car runs fast towards the airport after passing the only toll road in Makassar, they have to be fast because, the first departure is almost the time, he said, until when the bus passed through the gate to enter the airport sultan hasanudin, inspiration behind the glass of the bus saw a red hooded girl sitting on his motorcycle, immediately the inspiration to open the glass of the bus..

'NIRAAA..!!!' shouted inspiration kecang. make everyone there shocked'kaget as well as nira who was pensive there.

Nira flinched and looked towards a bus, tears flowing so profusely from the corner of her eyes..

'ILHAMMM..!!!' yelled loudly as loud as he waved his hand.

'KITAAA PASTIII WILL MEET AGAINIII.' cried inspiration again with a smile even without him realizing the tears melted on his cheeks,

Nira just continued to relentlessly wave her hand, tears unceasingly falling on her sweet cheeks smiling at the sight of her lover.

'Be assured that one day we will meet again and nothing will stand in the way of our cooperation.' said ilham lirih.

'we will definitely meet again and will always be together..' Nira lirih..

The rumbling sound of the iron bird broke the silence of the morning in Makassar, the sweet girl with red berdung looked at him so closely while sitting on his duck motorbike, watching someone he loved go far away to leave him, so did the handsome young man with glasses minus, staring at the land of makassar non-stop, see the land where someone he loves should he leave there..

But both of them remain confident, someday yes.. Someday the two will meet again sometime that time will come.

1.5 Years later

That day was the day of graduation inspiration, he finally got the title of his S1 with cum laude.. He was with his parents and several families and friends, including brother samil and bang welly, who celebrated the graduation?

He. kak samil and bang welly must eventually be followed by his younger brother because they both took too long to complete the thesis, brother samil himself is not without reason, but not without reason, his script was rejected because of his high ideology of the title he adopted until he finally met the lecturer who had the same understanding with him, he said,

Even so with bang welly, busy with work so that the script is just completed along with the younger class.

'congratulations ham.' said the sari who suddenly came to the inspiration, he was with a handsome and tall man who was his lover.

'owh sari, thank you, congratulations also on graduation and engagement.' said ilham smiled even though it was a little sore to see this couple, but he put it away and he salami both tightly.. especially with the man, the hand department is so tight as to hope that the man immediately married the sari and will always protect and take care of the sari.

'bang ilhammm..!!!' suddenly someone called out to him from a distance..

'what's der?' tanya ilham is confused with his younger brother level is arguably the next bang welly because he is now the ghost of the computer lab in the faculty of economics.

'graduated.. brother graduated S2 at UGM..!!! Congratulations yes.' exclaimed deri excited while giving a print announcement of the names who passed the S2 scholarship at UGM, ilham did apply for several S2 scholarships to several universities, including, he has not been interested in direct permanent work with his diploma at this time, he wants to study and find experience elsewhere.

A little disappointed indeed, because the inspiration was more hoping to graduate at S2 university hassanudin makkasar, to fulfill his promise to nira. ever since that breakup, nira disappeared from cyberspace, his Facebook account suddenly shut down for no apparent reason.

He took the paper from the deri although he painstakingly read the writing in it because bang welly and sister samil were busy embracing it tightly to congratulate his younger brother.

He read one by one the names in the announcement, there are the name of the participants, the origin of the university and also additional information such as contact numbers and addresses of participants, including,

..Ilham firdaus (university of bengkulu), randi sanjaya (stt telkom), tika wulandari (university of andalas), ririn anita nurfajrin (university of riau state), fina agustina (university of cendrawasih), redho firdaus putra (university dehasen), nira marselina (university hassanudin makassar)..

'nira?, nira marselina?.' said inspired astonishment..

He read it again and it turns out that it is true nira that he had been waiting for, and all this time he hoped to be together.

The two kept their respective promises, promises to meet again, and promises to get back together..

Suddenly the phone rang.. Soon he saw and from a number he did not know..

'raflesia will bloom in malioboro as well nih.' a melodious voice came from the end there..

'he, but this time he will not be alone, but will be accompanied by a banana girl..'
