Kila racked her brain to catch up with Irsyad in time. He immediately called Citra as he was heading to the airport by online taxi. He chose to call Citra because he was not ready to talk to Irsyad now.
"Hello, Assalamu'alaykum, Bun. Mommy came to the airport to take Kak Irsyad, huh? Bun, wait for Kila, yeah. Kila wants to go with Irsyad too. Kila again on the way to the airport, nih, take an online taxi. Mother where is her position now?" asked Kila in a loud and hasty tone for fear that her words were not heard clearly.
"Wa'alaykumussalam's chat. You're in such a hurry to speak, Kila. We just got to the airport. If you want to come between also, we will wait for you in front of the airport," replied Citra from sebrang.
"okay, Bun. Thanks, the info. Kila'll be here any minute, wait for Kila, yeah. Assalamu'alaykum," said Kila happy because it is not too late to follow.
After answering the greeting, Irsyad was already standing in front of his mother with a happy face.
"Will you take Irsyad, too, Bun?" ask Irsyad sumringah. The image responded.
"Alhamdulillah. Irsyad thought, Kila would not be able to take her. On the phone last night, Kila seems very tired. But, it is not expected that Kila will follow," said Irsyad again still sumringah.
"Yes, mother too. Not wrong to choose a ghost, though. Very attention to the husband, when again there is a business in place to deliver her husband," Citra replied trying a little tempting.
Irsyad blushed a little because it was teased like that by Citra, shortly after she returned to normal as usual.
...****************...
Kila had arrived in front of the airport, but he did not find Irsyad. Previously he also ran around for fear Irsyad was not overtaken. As he combed through all the locations around the airport, he found Irsyad in the front left corner of the airport. He ran back to Irsyad.
"Sir Irsyad!" kila shouted, he accelerated.
Irsyad turned his head and then Kila arrived before Irsyad. Kila who was running around earlier was very excited, he paused for a moment to adjust his breathing in front of Irsyad. Kila tried to regulate her breathing, while exhaling it vigorously. Irsyad was moved to see Kila's struggle. Irsyad was also worried, Kila had long enough to regulate her breathing.
"Kila, are you okay? Do I need to buy you drinking water?" ask Irsyad for attention.
Kila, who had been bending over while holding her knees to catch her breath, stood straight up to hear Irsyad's question. The same, his breathing was not yet regular. He was running very fast. It's also not like Ira who is very active, if only Ira's body can be loaned briefly by Kila.
"Sister," said Kila while still trying to regulate his breathing.
"Yes, here you drink first. My drinking water, anyway. You must be tired from running earlier," said Irsyad. Kila refused. Irsyad did not want to force, the drink he had taken was returned to his previous place.
"Sister!" said Kila loudly. Everyone who was there was shocked to see what Kila was doing, Citra, Erwin and Irsyad included. Because, Kila who was still adjusting her breath suddenly hugged Irsyad. Because of Kila's shorter posture than Irsyad, he was only able to wrap his hands around Irsyad's abdominal area. But that is the most comfortable position when hugging, people who are hugged should be comfortable too. But for an atmosphere like this, that comfort was eliminated with a shock. Kila bravely wrapped her arms around Irsyad, and she knew Citra and Erwin were watching but she didn't care. Really not the usual Kila, they thought.
They were even more surprised afterwards. Kila who was hugging Irsyad suddenly cried in an embrace.
"Sister, Kila's sorry. Kila apologized for trying to avoid Brother. Kila apologized, Kila changed when we were already familiar. Kila apologized for Kila's attitude. Brother Irsyad, sorry Kila, yes. Brother Irsyad don't go before sorryin Kila. Kila admitted Kila's mistake, and Kila was mentally aware that Kila was still a child. But that shouldn't be the attitude that Kila showed to Irsyad. Kila apologized for crying recklessly and pretended to never cry while on the beach. Kila apologize, Brother. Please apologize, sister," Kila said as she shed her tears. He did catch up with Irsyad to straighten out the problem. He wants to fix the problem and repair the relationship between himself and Irsyad.
"Crazy-" said Kila cut off.

A kiss on Kila's forehead made Kila forget what she wanted to say next. Irsyad likes to hide with a kiss. And that Irsyad did while returning Kila's embrace.
"Here you go, stop crying. You know, I was worried about your change in attitude. But I just don't want to bother you by asking directly, I don't want to talk before you tell me first. I'm sorry too, yeah. Sometimes I can also be affected by the atmosphere, so my harsh nature at that time appeared in response to your attitude. I should have been able to be a little gentler and tried to understand you. But what are women made of, huh? Why is it so hard to understand?" irsyad said to Kila's soft ears.
Kila who had been sure would not be ashamed of this action, immediately his guts shrunk as Citra roared. He wanted to let go of his embrace, but Irsyad seemed not to allow it. Irsyad held it tight.
"Bun, let us be like this for a while to make up for the time lost back then. After all, you should understand, dong. Irsyad will return to Turkey, which means Irsyad will be away from Kila a few months before the holidays come back. So let the time that can't be spent together be paid now," Irsyad's reply paid no heed despite Citra's attempts at teasing.
"Yes, if so, let's get together too. There's a cafe there, right? I don't want to stay here, so the mosquitoes are not good" said Erwin who sided with Irsyad.
"Yes, come on, Dad" Citra replied.
About ten minutes Irsyad still hugged Kila. Irsyad just hugged, nobody talked about anything. Kila was a little awkward because of that.
"Sister, how long will you hold Kila like this?" ask Kila.
"Crazy, let it go. I really hugged you. Let me enjoy it. Do you remember the first time I hugged you? It was then that I realized that I really do have feelings for you Kila. The sound of my heart beating fast was not only worried when I found out that grandma died, but also because you were in my arms" Irsyad replied directly to Kila's ear, again. Somehow the soft whisper of Irsyad did not bother Kila at all.
"Sister, someone will look at us. Kila's ashamed," Kila replied.
"Nobody passed by here. Take it easy" replied Irsyad.
"Sister, Kila's energy is running out. Kila is no longer strong standing up" Kila said honestly.
"Why are we finished?" ask Irsyad wonder.
"Yes, because Kila's heart is currently taking Kila's energy supply. Kila's heart sports inside," said Kila shy then drowned her face in the chest field Irsyad.
"When will you listen to my heart?" Irsyad. Kila who had drowned her face, then straightened her head and looked at Irsyad's left chest.
"Try listen, you'll know that my heart is racing right now" Irsyad said.
Kila was curious, and hesitantly she placed her ear on the chest of Irsyad's field. He attached it to the left where Irsyad's heart was. And right, the heart of Irsyad he heard was beating fast. But in view of Irsyad's facial expression, he was as usual. Now that Kila does not feel alone, Irsyad can also experience a heart that exercises as he does.
"Irsyad, it's been quite friendly. You should go. Remember what time it is," Citra said. They returned not because they wanted to disrupt their time, but it was time for Irsyad to enter the airport. Otherwise, he will miss the plane.
"Good, Mother. Then, Irsyad said yes first," replied Irsyad.
Irsyad said goodbye to her mother and father with hand salim and kissed their cheeks. When Irsyad wanted to say goodbye to Kila, Irsyad hugged Kila again. Though Kila was ready to kiss Irsyad's hand right then and there.
"I promise to keep calling you when you get there. You also often give news, yes," said Irsyad right into Kila's ear. Irsyad likely let go of her embrace and ended it by peeping Kila's forehead gently.
"Dad, Mother, Kila, Irsyad say goodbye first. Irsyad please pray from you. Assalamu'alaykum" said Irsyad before really moving.
"Wa'alaykumussalam, be careful on the road, brother. Fii amanillah," said Kila gave a prayer of salvation to Irsyad.
A very sweet farewell according to Kila. Even when Irsyad was up, the former embrace of Irsyad he still felt in his body. Kila could not sleep because of this.
