Childhood Match
The Mangli Sky View

Alena really enjoyed the trip this time. What's more, the toure guide is very fun. Friendly, beautiful, kind, and understand many things, especially tourist attractions on the slopes of Mount Sumbing. They move from one place to another. In fact, Gendhis invited them to come and see the farmers who were harvesting vegetables in the fields.

Alena is quite happy with the condition of the community in Sekar Wangi Village. They're rabid. In addition, at the age of those who are classified as twilight, but their health and strength in daily activities is extraordinary. Up and down fields that are very uphill conditions such as stuck on the slopes of the mountain. In fact, not infrequently, they carry heavy loads on their backs or on their heads, such as vegetables, firewood, to grass for their livestock feed.

Until the afternoon, the last place they go is in Mangli Sky View, so they can watch the sunrise and sunset from above height. There are also provided tents that are very suitable for camping visitors.

That afternoon, while waiting for the sun to set in the western horizon, Gala went to book two homestays with the manager of the tourist attractions. One for her and another for two girls who are now sitting on a viewing post while taking a selfie like a model to the right and to the left.

After taking a selfie, Gendhis and Alena sat down at the viewing post while chatting at length.

...Homestay and viewing post at Mangli Sky View....

"Eh... Dis... by the way.. I wonder if again on campus, your lecturer is a figure like what the hell? If we used to be in Singapore, he was quite exciting anyway, hilarious, sometimes salty, but... What about college?" Alena's trying to extract information about Gala.

"Oh... Mr. Gala. Firm, disciplined, most do not like if students are late to cuddle the task, and prefer not to mention if in class time clear the material, there continue to be students who are fun to chat or daydream. If that happens, yesah, it is not directly reprimanded the same Mr. Gala, but later in the explanation, ahir, the students are usually told to repeat everything that Mr. Gala explained so that no one should be missed." explained Gendhis.

"Oh.... huh??? Horrified to be a student... You're not afraid?" ask Alena.

Gendhis smiled at Alena's question and said, "Fear??? Yes, it's not... Madam Alena, as long as we do not make mistakes, Mr. Gala will not be angry. Especially if we are diligent, the value must be good." replied Gendhis who is the eye of his lecture that is enabled by Mr. Gala Lecturer is never less than the indigo "A". In addition to being a clever student, Gendhis was active and diligent, which is possible, Gala gave less value to her puja girl.

Alena nodded her head hearing Gendhis explanation. A moment later, Alena asked again and this time slightly.

"Dis, from the first time in Singapore, many super cute and sexy Caucasian girls who chase the Gala. Surprisingly, none of them chose. I was also sometimes surprised, he was not normal, there are many cute girls called. If... now on the campus how?" ask Alena.

"Oh... Now? Not much different either. Mr. Gala has always been the idol of all his students on campus, including my girl friends in class, many who admire Mr. Gala" said Gendhis without any expression, it was as if he did not realize that the charm of his lecturer really made his girl friends melt.

"Is that true?" alena asked curiously and was a little jealous hearing it.

"Yes... Madam Lena." replied Gendhis while nodding his head.

"Keep it... has no one managed to win Gala's heart? I mean. eemmm..." Alena.

"Hehehe... Sister Lena! If that is the case I don't know. I also dare to conclude for myself. It's his personal domain Mr. Lecturer, later I will be considered pretentious again Mbak want to know his personal affairs Mr. Gala. I'm just a student." replied Gendhis.

"Yes... also.. yes, you are, Dis." said Alena.

Gendhis then tried to give a suggestion, "Mbak Lena... Madam deket Mr. Lecturer, and he said you have been friends for quite a long time, apaaa... Mbak Lena asked directly.." said Gendhis plain.

"Where can it be... Dis.." Alena's cheeks began to blush.

"Lhooo... Why Ma'am?" ask Alena.

"Yaaa.. can't just!" answer Alena.

From that conversation, it's not that Gendhis doesn't know. Gendhis could already deduce from Alena's expression and question, that the beautiful girl before him was actually putting quite a deep taste in Gala. Somehow the big thing he can keep secret, even though they are friends for quite a long time. Is it because he doesn't want to ruin the friendship they've had for so long?

And Gala? He's not a stupid guy who can't judge a girl who puts a taste in him. What else was that girl was Alena whom he had known for a long time. But why as a man, did Gala not try to open up her feelings for Alena? Alena is a good girl, smart, polite, friendly, and sociable. Plus they are both professions of a lecturer. "What.. lest it be true that Alena said? That...? Mr Gala is actually normal, not a lot of cute and quality girls who try to give love but no one managed to subdue his heart?" gendhis said inwardly as he furrowed his two eyebrows.

"Either... after all, why am I thinking too much about the business of Mr Gala? Let it all be his duty, Mr. Gala himself.. Why am I so dizzy?" Gendhis was still trembling in his heart.

I don't know when he'll realize that the Gala's biggest reason for doing so is her. For Gala, Gendhis was the only girl who had managed to steal his heart from the first time.

Moments after Gendhis conversation with Alena ended, Gala came and walked up to the substation and approached the two beautiful girls, saying,

"Hay ladies.. your homestay is ready, please for the princess to rest in her palace.." said Gala joking.

"Oh... huh? I can't wait to break down, so tired all day. But... Will the sun go down again? Postpone ah, the term is. far from coming from Semarang to here the time to passatin is so." said Alena.

"Yes already..if so we wait because soon what you dream since from Semarang will be realized" said Gala.

A moment later, the sky turned orange. Slowly the sun began to hide behind the dashing peak of Sumbing. Then, Adzan magrib began to reverberate. After being satisfied to see the rare moment, finally they rushed to the nearest mosque to perform maghrib prayer.

Gendhis had laid his body on a foam mat in the homestay that Gala ordered this afternoon. He looks good in the cradle of the night. Alena, who had also laid down her body next to Gendhis, apparently could not close her eyes. The cold air made his body shiver slightly. Soon he grabbed his thick, hairy jacket and put it on. He wanted to take Gendhis out to eliminate the sense of entitlement in the room. But looking at the sleeping Gendhis comfortably made him feel sorry to interrupt his rest, especially all day Gendhis had been driving him around the slopes of Sumbing. He saw the clock on his phone already showed at 22.00 WIB. He decided to step his foot out of his room.

Alena walked towards the garden chair which was not far from their resting place. Sumbing peak wind increasingly felt penetrating up to the bone of the marrow. However, visitors who are still outside the tent and enjoy the atmosphere of the night there quite a lot. As he sat down, Gala's voice suddenly surprised him.

"Hayooo!" shock Gala.

"Ee.. ee.. daydream!" Alena was surprised while looking back.

"Yes... Gala. It's really bad, ngagetin me.." continued Alena.

"You're shocked because you're daydreaming again. Not good, you know, girls daydreaming malem-malem" said Gala while sitting not far from Alena.

"Wuuuiihhh.. The girl said it! I feel like a student again... Sister Lecturer, amipppp!" said Alena.

Gala just smiled at Alena's joke.

"Do you want coffee?" tanya Gala offered.

"Eeemm.

Gala ordered two coffees and it did not take long for two cups of sweet coffee to land on their table. For a moment they fell silent while enjoying a cup of coffee from the slope of Sumbing.

"Gendhis is asleep?" tanya Gala made sure.

"Udah. seems very good, but I wanted to take it out, but pity. ahirnya not so." replied Alena.

"Ohhh...." Gala was just meng oh. kan Alena, because she thought Gendhis was quite tired had delivered them since this morning.

But there was a chance, Alena also tried to dig out the info from Gala as Gendhis suggested this afternoon.

"Ga. Since the beginning of our college, how many girls are heartbroken because of love you ignore. I think after returning to Magelang, you already have your own choice to continue to mating... uh. You really want a rich wife? Who knows if it turns out your dream wife candidate is on me. You do not have to bother looking anywhere, I'm here, hahaha.." said Alena joking but serious.

Gala smiled at Alena's strange question. Even Gala didn't realize that there was a girl who was hurt by it. Gala never felt she was giving any girl false promises.

"Wife candidate?" gala asked with a smile.

"Yes, the future wife." said Alena.

"Fool and sustenance and age, it has been determined by God since we were in the womb of our mother. But. if asked what he wants, yes. First, if beautiful is relatively yaa. only she must be sholihah of course, behavior and speech she said is polite, friendly, gentle, good at cooking, dear family, devoted to parents..." Gala hasn't finished talking all of a sudden Alena cuts her off.

"Yes.for gosh Ga... You didn't? That's not really me...! Is there anything else besides that?" ask Alena later.

"Yes, one more thing, he must be good at it, but he must not be smarter than me, especially his religion." Gala added.

"Why..why?" Alena wonder.

"Yes yes...I am a candidate for priest in the family, what would a family be if the mother is smarter than the priest? Therefore, until now I am still studying religious science, considering that my lecture was not a major in Islamic religious education. So that I can be a good priest when it turns out my wife will be good at religious sciences." continued Gala.

Gala's words seemed to make Alena's hope to have Gala's love collapse unceremoniously. For a moment, Gala realized that all the criteria he was saying were entirely within Gendhis.
