LOVE BLOWS FROM REUNION
Episode 53: THE PROPOSAL OF LOVE

    Meanwhile, after Yuna from Indonesia. Arriving at Haneda Airport, Tokyo, Yuna headed straight to Kyoto by taking a fast train. Kyoto was once the capital of Japan. Kyoto has been around and bustling since the first century AD, becoming the capital of Japan for over a thousand years. In Kyoto City, Japanese civilization began, with the establishment of temples of the Sinto faith.

    With the development of the era in Japan, the Japanese government is trying to move the capital of the country to Tokyo. This is done to facilitate government and accelerate access to transportation and communication lines. While Kyoto is used as a Japanese Cultural Center that has many world heritage sites and international cultural reserves. There are at least a thousand Buddhist temples in Kyoto, and more than four hundred Sinto shrines. In Kyoto City, the Japanese government and society, still maintain artistic and unique traditions of public life. The values of the tradition are preserved until now. So do not be surprised, if Kyoto, a city that has four seasons is a major destination for international tourists.

    Yuna, who was born in Sakai, was raised by her parents in the small town. After finishing school at the cultural academy in Kyoto, he got a job as an exterior designer in the city. Today, Yuna lives more in Kyoto, although it is often requested by large companies that develop their businesses in Tokyo. Yes, of course Yuna would rather choose to live in Kyoto, because the blood of art that flows in her body, requires Yuna to develop a variety of creativity in working as an exterior designer. Moreover, artists in Japan prefer to live in Kyoto. Of course because of its strong tradition and still maintain very high spiritual values. Japanese artists are more intense with the moral sacredness and traditions of their ancestors. In Kyoto, art workers are looking for inspiration.

    One day Yuna rested in her apartment, to eliminate the sense of accomplishment on the way home, as well as arranging luggage. In the morning, in neat clothes Yuna went straight to the Foundation Building where she worked together. The Foundation will provide assistance for empowerment activities in Bantul District, Yogyakarta Indonesia. Of course by bringing a complete proposal file, including supporting data needed.

    Yuna submitted her research report to the Funding Foundation. Of course to review the results of field studies conducted by Yuna, will be done by a special team. It takes at least two weeks. If the results of the review without records, then the special team will check the field. But if the results of the review have a record, Yuna must improve the data or adjust the facts found. However, if the results of the review are declared unfit, then the proposed assistance program is canceled. Yuna has struggled to do research and design projects, all of which directly hit the target of community empowerment. Of course with the help of Yudi and the entire community of Kampung Nirwana. Moreover, in the proposal has been equipped with field photos and meetings with the community, and attended by relevant officials. Of course it would corroborate the proposal put forward by Yuna. Hopefully the proposal is realized.

    Exactly two weeks, Yuna was summoned by the Fundraising Foundation. Facing the Review Team. There must be some worry. Thumping will hear the results of the review. But Yuna was ready with the results to be delivered. It is common in a project proposal. Yuna had accepted this kind of project many times. But this time it was a different project. Yuna had already left her heart in Nirwana Village. Yuna has mixed with the symbols of traditional food vendors. Yuna had already put her heart in the recesses of Yudi. If this proposal fails, then everything fails. Not only failed his project, but also failed to take back his love that had been entrusted to Yudi.

    Yuna sat down in front of five men, from the Funds Foundation review team.

    "Ohayou gozaimasu ..., Yuna shimai." the head of the review team said good morning to Yuna.

    "Ohayou gozaimasu .., shinshi." Yuna answered her greetings with good morning gentlemen. Of course, while bowing his body. That is the greatness of developed countries like Japan. Highly respect for anyone.

    "Yuna shimai .., arigato gozaimasu. Sister Yuna has completed a good field study. The results of the exposure and analysis are very detailed and complete. A huge empowerment development. But we are proud of Yuna's sister. Yuna shimai .., you are one of the great people we are proud of. Of course, something has to be re-examined. There is one question from us, which is about the Japanese Cave. Why do you list that site in your empowerment?" questions from the Review Team.

    Yuna felt relieved to be flattered. Of course this will give positive results. But when questioned about the Japanese Cave object included in the design of the project, Yuna became worried, because this site is sensitive to state life in Japan. The Japanese Cave Building is an end in the colonial era.this problem is put forward, of course there are worrying excesses. At least reminding of the dark history of the colonial period. Yes, in the Japanese cave it has taken a lot of casualties.

    Yuna had to be careful in answering. Slowly he explained, that the people of Nirwana Village and surrounding areas considered that the Japanese Cave was once a fortress that could stem the attacks of Allied soldiers. The beginning of Indonesian independence, there was a military aggression launched by the Dutch army and its allies. This Japanese cave is used as a refuge for the guerrillas in the face of their enemies. This Japanese cave has saved many residents. Including the hilly area on the edge of the South Coast, which is planned to be used as Taman Awang-awang, is a natural fortress used to attack NICA soldiers.

    Slowly Yuna again explained, related to the Japanese Cave that was included in the design. Yuna explained that the people around the Japanese Cave, always held ritual activities to commemorate the heroes. The ritual is in the form of sadranan or selamatan in the Japanese Cave area. Then Yuna asked, why did the Japanese who lost the war in the battle of the Second World War do not want to respect the soldiers who were victims there? Then Yuna explained the design of activities that will be carried out in the Cave of Japan, starting from arranging the site to be more interesting, including arranging the surrounding environment, ranging from transportation facilities to the arrangement of traders. Then make the agenda of international tourist visits, namely religious tourism from the families of war victims from Japan. The plan was carried out every anniversary of the defeat of Japan in World War II. Of course, this activity can add to the love and respect of heroes.

    The name imparts character values can be done starting from children. Including families and war veterans. Yuna also revealed, The defeat of Japan was not against Indonesia, but was mobbed by Allied troops. Likewise, when Indonesia had declared independence, the Allied army was still unwilling to accept, even foment aggression, which made the Indonesian people continue to struggle against the invaders.

    "Yuna shimai .., we are glad to hear your interesting exposure. But for those related to religious tourism to the Japanese Cave, we will convey to the government first, including to the cultural council and the foreign ministry. This is related to bilateral relations between Japan and Indonesia. We don't want excesses to appear later on" said the lead review.

    "Hoka no puroguramu wa dodesu? Can we fix other programs?" ask Yuna.

    "Tashikani. Yuna shimai .., within one week, we requested improvements to the design, especially on the recalculation of the number of needs. And in the near future, we will send a visitation team to Indonesia. Hopefully your project will be realized soon. Especially for Japanese Cave attractions, we beg time. Hopefully, the government will realize your proposal."

    "Shinshi arigato ...." Yuna thanked the review team, of course while bowing her body, as a sign of respect.

    Review is done. Yuna stood up, bowed back, thanking the review team. The people present in the room applauded, appreciating what Yuna was displaying. Then one by one bend the body, a sign of respect.

    Yuna was delighted that her project plan would be approved. Just waiting for the results of visitors who will do a crosscheck in the field.

    As soon as she reached the apartment room, Yuna immediately laid her body on the bed. Of course with a big smile. Of course with a happy feeling. Soon he will return to Indonesia, to realize his work, architect Taman Awang-awang in Yogyakarta. And more joyous, surely Yuna can return with Yudi, who will be invited to combine love, build a family with people she once moored her love.

    Yuna held onto HP, wanting it to feel like contacting Yudi. But back he put down that HP, still hesitating to contact Yudi. Afraid to be asked about the results of his proposal. Of course if Yudi asks how it turned out, Yuna has not been able to give an answer.

    "Ah ..., why didn't Yudi contact me? He certainly wouldn't interfere with my work. That guy is good. I was really impressed to see his personality. Yudi, wait for me to come back, to bring love like I once offered you."

    In her solitude on the mattress of the apartment, Yuna remembered how Yudi carried a cradle as she slept in the pendopo house Yudi, then laid on her bedroom mattress. He also remembered when he had spied on Yudi to ask to be carried to his room. Yudi did everything gallantly, lovingly, very much to protect the weak woman. Yuna was very happy. Similarly, on the night of the farewell, Yuna slept in Yudi's arms, Yudi slept while hugging Yuna. Ah .., it's really happy to have a husband like Yudi. Compassionate and responsible.

    Yuna's daydreams soared, imagining a time that hadn't happened yet. A time when they will both be happy in the household.

    Yuna prayed, hopefully the project proposal was approved, so that she could return in Yudi's arms.

    Proposed proposals of love.
