Spending about forty minutes more, Ailee and Kalingga had now reached second place. Ailee again felt very foreign to this place. But he really liked this place, just like the place before.
The difference is that there are fewer people in this place. Maybe there are only a few couples his age, some even bring their families here. This place is as cool as the place before. Cool, green, full of trees. But there is no tea garden, but there is a lake that is quite large.
When you look at it, it looks terrible. The middle of the lake was blackish in color, it looked like the lake in the middle was very deep. Not to mention maybe in it there are alligators and other creepy creatures.
"Welcome to my mami and papi vacation spot" whispered Kalingga as she hugged Ailee from behind. Kalingga kept his chin on Ailee's shoulder.
"Recommissioning place?"
"Yes, I've been here before. But at that time I was still in my mother's womb. Not yet born," Kalingga chuckled uttering it. In this second place, he also got a recommendation from his mother.
"Where would you like to be in the womb, strange."
"Seriously dear, my mommy gave me a look at her photo here. Right here papi sama mami stand every morning to breathe fresh air here. Even here also papi made confusion with mami who arrived to run away. And it was not a blur, mami just sprained the same papi kept him away with his cousin," explained Kalingga recalling the story of his mother at that time.
"Cousin? Aunt Ashel has family here?" Ask Ailee.
"Mami the descendants of the Sundanese. Oma Anna's family is native to Bandung. Same marriage opa Adi who is a Jakarta person."
"I just found out. At that time Aunt Ashel just said that he had a Sundanese ancestor. At first, I didn't know what the Sundanese were. It turns out that after finding out, Sunda was the name of one of the tribes in Indonesia."
"Yes dear. I'm a Bandung Jakarta Blaster. But from the same oma his great opa there is a mixture of foreign," said Kalingga.
"Funny, assimilation."
The two laughed softly after Ailee said that. Thankfully, her mother's recommendation place was excellent. His lover loved it and Kalingga's mission succeeded in making his lover smile again.
Suddenly Kalingga released the tie he was wearing and twisted Ailee's body.
"Your eyes are closing this, right? I have a surprise," he said.
"What surprise? Don't be weird, '" said Ailee.
"Not strange, dear. Just remember, you will know. Yea?"
"Well, if it's weird, I'll get angry."
"No dear. Negative thinking mulu same as prospective husband."
Blush...
Ailee's cheeks became hot after hearing Kalingga's words. It might have sounded ordinary to others, but it was different when Ailee heard it. His heart was racing twice as fast as usual. Ailee lowered her head as her cheeks grew hotter.
"It's funny to be red cheeks" said Kalingga slowly. His firm hands were raised to gently stroke the lover's cheeks that had been flushed like a boiled crab.
"Shame," Ailee's great-grandson.
"Ngapain shy? I look at it."
"Udah ah, don't flirt mulu. So I didn't close my eyes?"
Last night, Kalingga prepared this. He even begged his mother to give him permission and help him in running this surprise. Fortunately, the mother has acquaintances here, so Kalingga can easily reserve the place while preparing some other equipment.
"Still far?" Tanyq Ailee's.
"At hand. But don't open it yet," forbid Kalingga when Ailee holds her blindfold back. Repeatedly Kalingga lowered Ailee's hand so as not to disturb the cover.
"Mysterious really, it's curious," dumel Ailee slowly.
Kalingga just smiled at the grunts of his lover. Then he removed the blindfold worn by Ailee.
When the blindfold opened, Ailee blinked her eyes several times. In front of him was a place that seemed to be deliberately set to be there. There are also some snacks and drinks.
"Little surprise, mommy," whispered Kalingga.
Ailee smiled at the whispers from her lover. The girl turned her body to face Kalingga.
"What mean? Why did everything come for me?"
"There has to be a certain meaning, right? I did do this on purpose because I wanted to see you happy, dear" said Kalingga smiling.
"Surely there's no other meaning?" Ask Ailee to make sure.
Kalingga sighed then crouched down in front of his lover. One hand took out a red velvet box. He also opened the box.
"Well remember this ring? The ring I used to call?"
Ailee nodded her head. He knew very well the ring, the ring that Kalingga always took where.
"You were jealous of this ring. Even thinking if this is the gift of another girl," said Kalingga chuckles when remembering the events of a few years ago. At that time their status was still friends, so Kalingga did not explain what happened to Ailee.
"This canyon is designed according to my own wishes. At that time papi offered a car, just like what bang Kai and Briella wanted. But I refused the car prize. Instead, I asked Papi to find a diamond craftsman to make this ring" Kalingga explained.
"Who do you intend to give this ring to?" Ask Ailee.
"For my wife. It was crazy, but I don't know when I thought about it so I asked Papi to find the craftsman and present this ring" said Kalingga.
"Which woman will be lucky to be your wife?" Ask Ailee slowly. There was a slight pain in his chest when he asked Kalingga. It was not willing to even see Kalingga together with other women.
"Of course it's the woman in front of me right now." Suddenly Kalingga gathered in front of Ailee and grasped Ailee's one hand.
"I know, right now we're still high school students. I know I don't have a job to give you everything you want. But it is the confidence in my heart that continues to urge me to immediately pin this ring on your ring finger" Kalingga paused.
Ailee's breath was choked ever since Kalingga had settled down in front of her. So Kalingga is proposing to her?
"I'm not a romantic guy. I'm just trying to be the man you've always loved. With this imperfection, do you want to be my future wife?"
