Waiting for Love for Me

44 TREE HOUSES

The family meeting is over. Next week the Dimas family will come to visit the Alila family to make a proposal between the two families.

The sun began to lean toward the west, the sign of the day has gone into the afternoon. Darma, Indira and baby Sekar have already gone home. Dimas and Alila were preparing to leave their parents' office at the restaurant.

"Pa, Mama. We say goodbye first. Before I go home I'll take Alila for a walk."

Dimas immediately asked his parents for permission, after they reached the room. Papa and his mother replied with a nod of the head.

"Go away. Get Alia to have fun in this city. Don't come home too late. Prepare your body and energy for the journey home tomorrow."

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Dimas.

The two approached Dimas' parents and kissed their hands in turn.

"We go first, Pa, Ma." Alila said before leaving the room.

After being outside her parents' study, Dimas grabs Alila's hand and takes her out of the restaurant. At first glance he turned to his future wife and threw a sweet smile.

"Where are we going, Dim?"

"Dating."

"Like a young man, use the term dating."

"Do you think I'm old, Al?"

"Yes, you are old. T-U-A."

Alila spelled the old word very clearly while getting into Dimas' car and sitting waiting for Dimas who was still turning his steps towards the right door.

In the car, Dimas continued his question.

"Why do you call me old? Are we not the same age. Then you're old too, Al."

"But this is different, Dim. You are old. Best For Me."

Alila managed to make Dimas smile widely with his words.

"Then you are old too. T-U-A."

"Hm.. What is it, Dim?"

"You are old. Created For Me."

"Certainly that?"

"Of course, Al. Because you're mine. Only mine."

Dimas's outstretched hand grabbed Alila's head gently. He kissed the forehead of his beloved woman with his eyes closed.

"Thank you for making me the best for you."

Alila simply smiled back at Dimas' words and treatment. His heart was filled with a stretch of roses blooming decorated with butterflies that flew increasingly here.

Dimas started driving his car. Entering the crowded streets in the city center that is more crowded than usual because it coincides with the weekend.

"Dim, do you have a place of remembrance in this city?"

"She, Al. When I lived here I used to go there and spend time alone in that place."

"Did you miss that place?"

"Yes, every time I come back here I always spend time alone there. But from now on I'll take you with me, Al."

Alila smiled and brought her body closer to Dimas. He held onto Dimas' left arm which was still holding the wheel.

"I'll always accompany you wherever you take me, Dim."

"Of course, Al. We should always be together wherever we are."

Dimas' left hand, which was still held by Alila, folded back and touched the top of Alila's head and kissed her briefly.

Shortly after going through the journey, they arrived at a place filled with towering large trees.

Alila searched the signboard to find out about the place. Then his gaze stopped at a signboard not far from where they stopped the car.

"The Forest of the City." Alila read it slowly.

"Come, Al."

Dimas got off the car followed by Alila. They observe the circumstances around him. There were only a few cars and motorbikes parked there.

Dimas grasped Alila's hand and led her to the gate next to which there was an entrance ticket.

After showing the ticket to the guard officers, they entered the tourist area that was not too crowded at that time.

Alila looked around her. There is only one road that divides the shady and cold forest. Several long benches are visible on the left and right sides of the main road they walk.

In front of them were seen several branches of a smaller road and only a path to pass through it to the edge of the forest.

Dimas continued to take their steps straight forward, until they reached the edge of a lake overgrown with many lotus plants that adorn the surface of the lake, making the lake more beautiful and awesome.

"It's so good, Dim."

Alila was stunned to see the lotus lake. His face continued to show a smile that made Dimas who saw him smile while continuing to enjoy the beauty of the woman beside him.

Alila nodded her head without looking towards Dimas. He pulled out his phone and began to capture the beauty of the place with his cell phone camera.

After quite a lot of shooting the scenery around her, Alila put her phone in a bag. Dimas who saw it immediately pulled Alila's hand to approach the edge of the lake.

"Stand here. I'll take a picture of you, Al."

Dimas took a few steps back while taking the phone out of his pants pocket. While Alila looked to tidy up her beautifully-dissolved hair and began to prepare for her picture taken by Dimas.

A few steps from him, Dimas has started photographing his girlfriend with some style exhibited by Alila with a flexible and full of smiles to make Dimas smile without realizing it.

Alila walked up to Dimas and took the phone from his owner's hand.

"Stand there, Dim. I'll take pictures of you too."

Dimas immediately shook his head. He does not like to be photographed alone. Moreover, his rigid attitude, increasingly makes it difficult to express in front of the camera.

"Come, Dim. For me..."

Alila pleaded as she pulled Dimas' hand to follow him to the edge of the lake. Dimas still looks reluctant and is about to walk away again but is detained by Alila.

"Just for a second, Dim..."

Alila looked into Dimas' eyes with a pleading spotlight that made Dimas finally melt and obey the request of the woman he loved so much.

Alila happily started taking pictures of Dimas despite his stiff style and flat face. After issuing several persuasions accompanied by love sentences, Dimas finally began to show his smile which was immediately used by Alila to photograph it immediately up to several times.

Ali, who was not satisfied, approached a pair of visitors who happened to pass nearby. He kindly asks for the help of one of them to take a picture of himself with Dimas and hands Dimas his cell phone.

Alila immediately walked over quickly and took a spot beside Dimas. Alila persuades Dimas to be relaxed and keep smiling when photographed in the various styles that Alila leads.

After feeling enough, Alila again approached the visitors who had helped her. He received Dimas' phone back while thanking the pair of visitors.

"Are you satisfied with me, Al?"

Alila laughed at Dimas' words looking at her with a flat face. He led Alila to the other side of the lake.

"Go all the way to this city, of course I want to have memories with you. Just a photo, won't diminish your good looks, Dim."

Alila blushed to herself while praising her future husband, while Dimas who heard her felt very happy and immediately showed a charming smile for Alila.

"Am I really handsome, Al? Then, I could've gotten another woman to date.."

Dimas' hands hugged Alila's waist along the way. Alila reciprocated with the same hug for her lover.

"Awas, don't spread charm on another woman, Dim. Or I'll leave you and find another guy who's not as cold and stiff as you."

Alila threatened by landing a light blow on the chest and a friendly pinch on Dimas' stomach made the man reply with a smile and kiss the side of his future wife's forehead.

"I just love you, Al. There will be no one but you."

"Thank you, Dim. I always believed you."

Dimas stopped their steps when they reached a large tree on which was a simple treehouse made of wood. There were several large trees with similar tree houses around the trees that had been pointed at by them.

Dimas led Alila to climb one by one the stairs to the tree house carefully. Arriving at the top, they sat together facing outwards where a beautiful view of the lotus lake and the trees around it were very stunning.

"This is where my memories are, Al."

Dimas hugged Alila and closed their bodies to each other. There were subtle murmurs that felt in their hearts as their gazes met and glued to each other. Eyes meet eyes. Speaking from heart to heart.

The face that was close to each other made Dimas and Alila could feel their breath blowing on the faces of the two. Dimas started to hold onto Alila's cheeks which had met adorable red.

"Thank you for accepting me as your future husband, Al."

"I also thank you for choosing me to be your future companion, Dim."

"I didn't choose you, Al. But it is my heart and my love that have chosen you by the decree of the almighty."

Dimas kissed Alila's forehead then went down to the side and for the first time he kissed Alila's rosy cheek.

"I love you, Al."

"I love you so much too, Dim."

Alila's head leaned against Dimas's shoulder made the man turn his face and kiss gently back on his lover's forehead.
