THE END OF OUR STORY
Deserve Married
The change of season from winter to spring is indeed worthy of providing happiness for anyone, except for those who have congenital allergies to flower powders.
Why not, a tree that looks dry brownish without leaves in winter slowly shows new leaf buds bright green and refreshing the view. Not to mention the colored flowers that had previously been reluctant to take out their beautiful petals, now began to dare to show off their beauty.
As a fan of flowers, since before leaving for the Netherlands Saras has established his intention to visit Keukenhof, a large flower garden that can even be said to be the largest in the world.
Aurora is also interested in being able to enjoy Keukenhof because of its fame and because the park is only open when spring arrives from late March to early May, which means this park is a special place.
Keukenhof, which in simple terms means ‘Kitchen Kebun’, is located in Lisse City which is roughly located between Amsterdam and The Hague. Lisse City is a very small city with a population of not even 30 thousand inhabitants! However, that is where the largest flower garden is very beautiful.
No wonder it is said to be the most beautiful flower garden because there are at least 7 million tulips planted every year at Keukenhof in October, in order to bloom fill every corner of the garden in spring.
Aurora invited Awan to accompany her to visit Keukenhof which of course she did not refuse. Aside from that he did want to accompany Aurora, but also because he had never been to Keukenhof before.
When he first arrived in the Netherlands, his friends were not interested in leaving so he chose another place to visit in the spring like this.
In the spring of last year, Clouds did not think of visiting Keukenhof because he was busy with his research proposals.
Not wanting to be a bully or mosquito repellent for Awan and Aurora, Saras invited Singgih – with a little coercion– to come along with them to visit Keukenhof. Lukas and Iqbal had refused first because they prefer to travel elsewhere rather than looking at tulips and various varieties.
After entering the park, Singgih understood why Saras insisted on enjoying the beauty of the flowers at Keukenhof. As far as the eye can see, the expanse of colorful flowers with various shapes is really able to spoil the eye and make the heart fascinated.
The 32-hectare park, which is more than 45 times the size of a football field, is laid out in such a way with a blend of flowers and trees, elements of land and water, and works of art, among others, the incessant ones made the heart clench in awe and were captivated by its incredible beauty.
Aurora who is usually not too interested in taking photos of herself, this time is very enthusiastic to save her memory with flowers with various types and uniqueness.
Countless have been how many photos and videos they took because all the angles and sections look interesting.
Even the Clouds and Singgih did not want to miss taking part in capturing this unusual sight.
“Au, here is good here .. his photo from there,” suggested Saras while pointing to the location he meant.
Aurora approached Saras' designated location, then squatted in front of the flower so that the photo taken can clearly show the shape of the tulip petals whose edges are like tassels at the end of the fabric.
Saras had not had time to touch the screen to take a photo, Clouds came in a hurry to crouch next to Aurora while slightly shouting, “Ikuuut ...”
Aurora and Saras were just shaking their heads at the childlike behavior of the Clouds. Squatting docked to the side of the Aurora, the Clouds embrace Aurora's shoulders and develop a smile like the models. The faces of Cloud and Aurora both look very happy with a dark tulip background that contrasts with the greenish leaves.
Seeing the happiness on their faces made Saras unable to bear to comment, “You guys do deserve to marry now!”
He laughed, because he heard his own words and also because he saw the expression of Aurora whose lips were soaked, but could not hide her happy look.
Stop who suddenly came straight away said, “Who now wants to marry?” His gaze alternated towards Saras and Clouds who looked still smiling.
“Noh!” point at Saras with his chin while smiling wryly.
“Bikin people just! You do not miss what the same in Bali if you see them?” Saras half grumbled because he saw the intimacy of the Clouds and Aurora, even though only from simple gestures that are not excessive.
Singgih laughs loosely then in the middle of his laughter he also replied Saras, “Then you know that, why am I invited instead of inviting Nelu?”
Hearing the sentence Singgih, Aurora and Cloud who were already in a standing position and joined hands joined in laughing tempting Saras.
The seduced also laughed, but laughed smugly because Singgih's sentence was really on target. Saras could not invite Nelu because Nelu already had an appointment to attend the wedding of his friend who lives in Germany.
“But Saras is right, if you see the two of his luggage really want to fly back to Bali,” he said while scratching his head with lips half-sniffing.
Back his friends let out laughter laughing at the movements and expressions of Singgih that looks witty.
Although tired of walking around the park, it can not be compared with the satisfaction in the heart and a sense of fascination that is very imprinted. Clouds and friends finally left Keukenhof when it was late afternoon.
On the way home Aurora still looking at the results of the photos in her HP gallery. Zoom out – zoom in many times, pay attention to the various shapes of flowers.
Every time he arrived at the photo showing himself both with Clouds, his heart warmed up. The words Saras who told them to get married was still reverberating in his head made him smile in shame.

The atmosphere of spring freshness with temperatures that are not too cold but also not hot can add enthusiasm for Aurora and her friends who are increasingly preoccupied with the work of the thesis. In just a few months they will graduate, graduate, and then leave the Netherlands.
The clouds and Auroras are more and more fused in their feelings and thoughts, and Saras and Nelu are closer to all differences. Lukas is still often seen with Svetlana, while Iqbal and Singgih continue to strive to foster the long-distance relationship they have with their respective spouses they left in Indonesia.
At the end of this spring Aurora again had to let her days pass without Clouds. The Clouds traveled to Vienna, the capital of Austria, with James while visiting his brother who lived in Stuttgart Germany.
Last month during the king's birthday celebration which is commemorated every late April in the Netherlands, Awan also could not be with Aurora because it had planned long gone with James to Barcelona.
Actually Aurora is eager to visit Bacelona to see the work of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, such as Sagrada Familia or other buildings that have unique shapes and colorful mosaics.
Unfortunately Aurora's college schedule is crowded and on the other hand she wants to feel the king's birthday celebration or called koningsdag which is celebrated every year in the Netherlands.
This birthday celebration is designated as a national holiday and it can be said that everyone on that day spilled on the streets. There are many interesting attractions as well as a deliberately held free market, packed with residents who almost entirely use the orange, royal color attribute. Interesting events that Aurora also does not want to miss.
When Awan conveys his plans to Vienna with James, Aurora feels very envious, especially because the Clouds say they will stop in Salzburg on the way to Vienna.
Aurora has long wanted to feel the tour 'The Sound of Music', a very famous music film that takes place in the city of Salzburg. But what power, again college can not be abandoned.
Aurora is forced to go through days without Clouds, very different from the days before, when they almost every day to meet.
“Calculate the exercise before going home to Indonesia and really have to connect remotely,” thought he was entertaining himself.
Aurora actually did not think that she could miss the Clouds so much even though she was only left for a few days. Maybe because all this time they are used to being together, especially when they have to do a task or while studying together, whether in the Cloud room or in the Aurora room.
His extremely strong yearning gripping made him think.
“If later I have to go back to Indonesia, Mas Awan still have to stay here at least two more years. Does that mean we have to be apart for that long? Could anyway? Yes, we can communicate via video call, but it feels like it will remain different.”
His doubts even stirred up an ardent desire in the heart.
“If you can anyway want to get married first after returning to Indonesia, so then you can join Mas Awan here.”
The impulse of his desire finally made Aurora laugh amusedly because she instead thought of wanting to rush into marriage with Awan. The thought of getting married also prompted his heart to start talking.
“You sure you want to marry Awan? Sure you want to be Cloud's wife? Marriage is long-term, Au .. Are you sure?”
Aurora's daydreams split as the sound of incoming messages rang out from the HP she was holding. A message from the Cloud.
Clouds are standing in front of a yellow building with the words ‘Mozarts Geburtshaus’ on the front. The clouds are now in Salzburg.
The message is short: wish you were here –but make Aurora miss Awan– even more.
