Proof of my Love
“U..Uda Qian said what, why am I here?” my question was a little stammered at the mention of the word Uda, because it was not used to calling him with the call.
“Ken know your answer yesterday afternoon.” replied casually while sucking coconut ice.
“Not Uda said, want to wait when I can answer?” sahut.
“Iya. There is an answer now. If there isn't, it's okay too. Uda can still wait, until you receive love Uda.” he said affirming the word accept love, then smile.
My eyes are perfect, if he waits until I receive love, isn't that some kind of coercion of love?
“Ros, let's think.” murmured me.
“Alright, I have a condition for Uda. If you can, then we will be.”
“What are the terms?” tanyanya enthusiastic.
“The first, I want to give you 7 kinds of white flowers.”
“The second, I want Uda to plant a flower in the shape of love, in the middle of that love, Uda provide a seat bench. I want to hear Uda sing for me on the bench that Uda made it.”
“Third, I want Uda to carve my name on a wooden board, for artwork I can display. As proof of Uda's sincere love. I want to engrave it in a chisel with Uda's own hands.”
“Time is only 3 days.” explained me.
He nodded his head. Then ask a question. “ 7 pieces white flowers yes?” tanyakanya.
“Not, I want 7 different flowers, but they are white.” my light.
“What flower is it? Why 7?”
“Many ask! So Uda doesn't want to? Yes, it means Uda is not serious, Uda is just playing around, and there is no real feeling for me. Time, looking for 7 kinds of white flowers just can not. Though if you want, very much, on the side of the road there are white flowers, even bush flowers.“
“So, can the origin of flowers, for example like orange flowers? Oranges are white? No rose and white roses, or jasmine right?”
“If there are nice white flowers, why not? Especially if the flower is fragrant, I of course really like.”
“Good Ros, Uda will get the flower and plant the flower you requested.” he said smiling sweetly.
I smiled back too. I'm sure he won't be able to, let alone my request for the matter of planting love-shaped flowers and in the middle there is a bench. In my village such a thing, very funny. And it never happened.
I'm sure, he won't be able to complete my request that's weird and embarrassing.

August 20, 2000.
2 Days after I met Uda Qian in the elephant bottom, I never saw her again. I didn't even see him hanging out with his alley friends in the cafeteria.
Yes, the popular young men in Uda Qian's alley have always been the objects of God's eye wash for our underclassmen. So, me and the others can tell, the limelight was coming from their alley. So, when Uda Qian was not around, everyone was busy talking about her.
“Oh, Bang Qian, I'm your affair doesn't matter.”
“I really like Uda Qian, handsome, friendly, her smile makes me shadowed.” some girls alay bin lebay kamit kamit.
Words like this I have heard so many times, there are even those who openly lick me for the sake of being close to my little Uncle and Brother cousin.
I'm used to looking good, so I'm not crazy like them. I'm satisfied to see the handsome. Really am!
In fact, the handsome guy they craved yesterday expressed love for me.
Drr! Drr! The message came in on my phone.
I opened the message on the screen of my Nokia 1100 phone in black and white, there was a message from the new number.
The message is typed very short, the cost of SMS is Rp. 500, and the vocabulary is limited. Schoolchildren need to be calculated. For the important things and the snacks.
I didn't reply to that message. Although it's a new number, but I'm sure it's Uda Qian.
“Eee...Ciieeeee... who can SMS, directly in hiding, from Brother Qian huh?” filya said meledekku.
I flicked the girl's forehead, until she grimaced, then pouted at me. I don't give a shit.
“Ros!” there was a scream from the other end, and it was a familiar sound.
“You didn't come to me in class, you have the heart! You go to the canteen first with him.” Boy protest loudly.
“You are, like a jealous boy.”
“Of course I'm jealous, you're not so sensitive Ros! I always wait for you in front of class every break, but when you come out first, you leave me, and go with her.”
Plaque! I hit Boy's shoulder.
“You are, not an SD boy anymore, so be jealous. Open your mouth don't be jealous again My sweet sister.” my words thrust bakwan into Boy's mouth.
“You're my brother Ros! I'm 5 months older than you.”
“Udah, already, you guys every meet always just arguing. No shame what seen everyone.” said Filya.
“You!”
“You!” We still accuse each other and nudge each other.
Even while eating, I can still pinch Boy's head. Our little debate was still going on, until the bell went off.
Boy's school home was waiting in front of my class as usual, now Revand and Uda Qian were also in front of my class.
I saw the three of them shaking hands with each other, it was possible for them to get acquainted with each other.
Drr! Drr! Suddenly a message came in on my phone, it was from Boy.
“Km mw prg sm Dy?” (You want to go with him)
“Iya.” reply.
“Oh, klo gt Q plg dl, ht² y. Ad ap² tlpn Q.” (Oh, then, I go home first, be careful, if there's anything to call me) Fill in the message from Boy, and then he's gone.
I was taken to Uda Qian's house, and introduced to the neighboring girl next door. Both her parents went to the rice field. So, he's the only one at home.
He changed his clothes, brought a guitar and a box, and took me and the neighbor girl to the back of his house. There, I saw her planting Asoka flowers (Fence flowers)
The flower in the plant forms love, and in the middle there is a bench. Me and the girl next door watched him sing on his guitar. After He sang, He gave a very beautiful wood carving and a gift box.
“Now, we are a yes, He is a witness if we become.” Uda Qian told me.
“This is all Uda really looking for flowers and wood chisel?” I just can't believe it.
“Iya.” He showed me his hand, which was scratched by the wood.
Yes, perhaps the flower that He planted was not guaranteed life, but He did plant it. And in the gift parcel, there was a wallet with a picture of her, as well as 7 beautiful and cute white flowers.
I totally mispredicted, I forgot, who I was challenging. Izqian Abraham was a smart, handsome student and mastered almost every subject, including sports and art. Now, I'm finally officially her boyfriend.
Today is the beginning of my love story with her. 20-08-2000.
*That's how I remember him.*
