The Unfinished Love

Designating paintings in Khalilah's room.

Why mother, anyway Dad also will not give permission for Khalilah to go there," replied Khalilah sigh while taking a breath.

If the mother knows the reason maybe the mother can persuade the father," said Mother made Khalilah change her sleeping position so facing towards the mother by tilting her body.

Right mother?," asked Khalilah and replied to his mother with a nod.

Khalilah then hugged the body of the mother he continued with great pleasure.

So what's the reason why you left for Aussie ?."

Khalilah was silent for a moment considering whether it was okay if he told me about Gibran.

How to be silent?," asked Mommy to see her teenage daughter was silent. "If you don't want to say anything, brother, as comfortable as you just don't feel forced."

Khay wants to find this ring giver, mother," answered Khalilah softly and slowly make Mother Intan must shift her head closer to Khalilah.

The ring-giver?," he asked and was called Khalilah and the girl took the ring out of her ring finger and showed it to her.

This ring is mother?," point Khalilah.

"May you hold ?" asked Mother Intan and Khalilah nodded.

Mother Intan then received the ring and then observed it carefully.

The ring is simple but you can see that the sparkling little gem is a diamond. Mother Intan felt the ring and felt a name engraving on the ring then she squinted her eyes reading the name engraved on the ring.

Gibran, read Mother Diamond in your heart. So it's true said Bik Yati, the reason Khalilah wants to go to Australia is because the owner of the name.

Gibran?," asked Mother voicing the question in her heart. Mother Intan handed back the ring from her model alone is definitely not a cheap ring. The ring is a ring that is sold in specialty and expensive jewelry stores. Who could Gibran buy such an expensive ring for a Khalilah.

Khalilah re-wearing the ring to his finger looks so soft and affectionate on the ring. Mother Intan smiled to see it.

Who is Gibran, brother?" asked the mother again.

If Khalilah told me your promise would not laugh at Khalilah."

"Yes, mother of promise," said Mother Intan. Khalilah again changed his position supine facing the ceiling of his room. Thinking about where he should tell stories.

"Here call him Brother Gibran, only two years old from Khay. He saved Khay while being asked for money by the bad boys in fourth grade of Elementary School....." Then flow the story of how they always go home from school together, smiling when remembering the reason Gibran was dating him, then when telling about the death of Omanya Gibran and separation

they're because Gibran was told to go to boarding school in the Aussie.

"Khay Kangen wants to meet Gibran's sister, mother," isak Khalilah who is now in the arms of his mother. The cheerful girl currently in her mother's eyes looked so fragile. " Khay wants to go to Aussie hoping to meet and if not at least Khay can breathe the same air as him."

Mother Intan was amazed to hear the story of Khalilah's childhood, grateful that there was a Gibran who accompanied the quiet day Khalilah made her happy and took care of her when her little girl did not get from her parents at that time.

Mother Intan stroked Khalilah's hair, she could feel the magnitude of her daughter's love for Gibran.

Khay, the new mother realized that the mother's daughter has now begun to mature and feel love. Maybe when I was a child the love is only the love of children if the word is termed with the love of monkeys, but the more the older brother grows the love of the older brother gets bigger. Mother salut brother holds fast to the promise," said Mother.

"But is Khay convinced that Gibran is still keeping his promise? Moreover, that promise when you still do not understand what love is?," asked Mother carefully did not want to destroy the dream of her daughter by trying to show the possibility that might happen.

If sure, Khay also often doubt, Mother," replied Khalilah. "But every time the Khalilah prayer always pray if indeed Khay's hope is in vain please remove the love of Khalilah to Gibran so that Khalilah can forget it. But what happened was that Khalilah could not forget and even miss Gibran even more even though only armed with memories in Khay's mind."

Khalilah took a deep breath while Bunda Intan now rubbed her daughter's back trying to make her feel better.

He said Allah is All-reversing, but why for eight years Khay's heart remained attached to Gibran's. Is it wrong for you if Khay still hopes that Gibran's brother is also still waiting for the time to meet Khalilah, still holding his promise to Khalilah?" asked Khalilah whispering.

If that's what you believe Gibran could also still remember his promise, when Khalilah missed it could be because he was also missing Khay there. We do not know for sure about it," replied mother Intan wisely.

"But baby, if you can give advice, lower your expectations so that if what happens is not in accordance with your expectations will not be too disappointed.

Prepare yourself for something beyond your expectations. Remember time can change a person as well as heart and love. Mommy does not want your sister to be sick and disappointed if you expect too much," advised mother Intan still with her hand that rubbed the back of Khalilah.

In her heart, Intan prayed for her daughter's hope. O God, if Gibran Thou created for my beloved daughter, please take care of her until the time when thou meet them at the right time and in the best version of both.....

Khalilah looked at the laptop in front of him with a sleepy feeling. A little annoyed because the lecturer who arbitrarily moved the zoom clock of his college eye.

The sweet girl who is now stepping on her third year at one of Jakarta's public universities is staring into the wall clock in her room which is pointing at two o'clock in the afternoon and she is sleepy-inducing it.

Khalilah took a deep breath, the lecturer this afternoon seemed to be explaining something that had been almost an hour and not even a single one had stopped in the brain of Khalilah.

And it seems not just him. Almost all students who attend online lectures via zoom this afternoon already look sleepy and some even look very sleepy until several times his head stumbled on his own desk, one thing that makes Khalilah smile.

Almost a year of online college instead of making himself a pinter even makes him more stupid. But would
