Retaliation of the Sick Wife
Bogor Botanical Garden

After celebrating Aksara's birthday, as previously planned this time Bisma, Kanaya, and Aksara chose to stay at the Pradana family home. Of course, Mother Nesti was happy because her children and grandchildren really wanted to stay the night.

“Well, stay here often. Sometimes this house is quiet,” said Mother Nesti who said that the house is sometimes quiet.

How not deserted? If the large house that looks beautiful is only inhabited by Mother Nesti, Father Tirta, and some helpers. In the past, when Bhishma still lived in the house, at least the house was more alive. Now, the house is so deserted. However, when Bhishma came and took his wife and child, the house came back to life with laughter, and the cry of the Scriptures.

Kanaya also nodded, “Iya Bunda, we will often play here,” replied Kanaya, saying,

“You are in a hurry tomorrow to return to your home no?” This time it was Tirta's father's turn to ask Bhishma and Kanaya.

“Why Daddy?” ask the bisma quickly.

“Tomorrow can not Daddy and Mommy invite Aksara playfully in Bogor Botanical Garden?” ask Tirta's father.

Even though Aksara was his grandson, but when he wanted to take away the Aksara, Tirta's father still asked and seemed to ask permission first to Kanaya and Bhishma.

“Bby Yah, take it. The important thing is to be careful Dad, or tomorrow we come along, let's have a picnic to the Bogor Botanical Garden, together,” replied Bisma now who actually intends to follow Father Tirta and Mother Hesti sightseeing to Bogor Botanical Garden.

Tirta's father nodded, “Iya, you come along. We are even happy,” replied Tirta's father.

Bogor Botanical Garden …

Take a moment away from the congestion and hustle and bustle of the Capital. Tirta's father this time brought with him his wife, children, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter to visit Bogor Botanical Garden. The large botanical garden with an area of 87 hectares was an option for Tirta's father to visit with his family.

This time it was Bisma who drove his father's car to the Bogor Botanical Garden area. Splitting the capital congestion towards the city of Bogor on the weekend is quite crowded smoothly, but Bisma patiently drives the car and heads to Bogor with her family.

"Have you been to Bogor Botanical Garden before, Nay?" ask Mother Hesti this time to Kanaya.

"Mother, but as a child. After that, it rarely comes here. In the past, Naya, took a train and continued to ride the city transportation to the Bogor Botanical Garden," the story this time to Mother Hesti.

"Former High School time, fitting study Vegetative Plants also to the Bogor Botanical Garden, right Darling?" bisma asked while glancing at Kanaya.

Because, as long as I remember when High School Biology class, they had visited the place to see Vegetative Plants and also saw the Raflesia Arnoldi Flower in Bogor Botanical Garden.

“Yeah?” kanaya asked Bhishma.

“Iya ..” sahut Bisma.

***One Day in Grey White Time … ***

“Tomorrow all children of class XI IPA will visit the Bogor Botanical Garden yes, there you must take note of various vegetative plants and see firsthand the Raflesia Arnoldi Flower, there you must take note of various vegetative plants,” explanation from Biology subject teacher at the time.

The next day, by boarding a tourist bus provided by the School, all students of Class XI IPA also visited Bogor Botanical Garden together. There, they were asked to take note of the types of vegetative plants they found. Not only that, if they could, they were also asked to describe it.

At that time, Kanaya who was quite quiet in class chose to walk alone and do the task alone. Back then, not many students were willing to befriend Kanaya because of Kanaya's enormous body back then. Until, when he was sitting and drawing the Raflesia Arnoldi flower, the 2B pencil he was wearing was broken, so he could not return to drawing. Even the sharpener, Kanaya did not bring it.

Until without Kanaya knowing, there is a male student who handed his 2B pencil to Kanaya, “This .. use my pencil first. Finish your picture,” said the man and pass it by from Kanaya's side.

However, from a distance of several meters, the fat man smiled as Kanaya resumed her picture with the pencil she had lent.

***

“So you already remember that event?” bisma asked with a glance looking at Kanaya's face which this time looked so astonished.

If it was Bhishma, Kanaya would certainly be so happy. Because, even from High School, Bhishma has been so kind to him.

Slowly Bisma nodded her head, “Yes, it was me. Adi ... who after graduating friends on campus called me Bisma,” he replied with a laugh.

Really Kanaya felt her husband was indeed a good figure even since both of them were still on the gray white bench. At that time, Kanaya did not know if she could finish her task when her pencil was broken and more unlucky because Kanaya did not carry a pencil sharpener back then. Not expecting, the figure of the student who helped him at that time was Bhishma.

“Since long ago, you were a good figure. Thank you for lending me your 2B pencil at the time. Thanks to the pencil you lent me, I was able to complete the Biology task.” Kanaya was finally able to thank the student who helped her first.

Bisma laughed, “It was a long time ago, Darling .. when we were in High School. Want to see the Raflesia Arnoldi flower again the same Aksara?” ask her to Kanaya.

Kanaya nodded, “Iya, would ..”

Once you arrive at the Bogor Botanical Garden, while seeing various types of flora (botani) that are various types, with shady trees, the Pradana family leaves the Garden. Looking up at every bird that was chirping in the sky that afternoon.

Then now, Bisma invites Kanaya and Aksara to see the huge Raflesia flower.

“I still remember, you used to sit here right?” show Bisma at one of the places in the area.

Slowly Kanaya nodded, “Considering that yes you are the same me?” ask Kanaya.

“Iya, all about you for three years in High School, I remember,” Bhishma replied with a smile.

Kanaya smiled too. His heart felt really warm. When she found out that her husband who was at once a man who had become her friend in the gray-white period always remembered her. Although time has long passed, but in fact Bhishma still remembers all those memories.

“I was happy, not expecting you to remember all about me. I feel so loved. Thanks Mas Bisma, My Husband, Father Aksara,” said Kanaya this time with a little face up to look at her husband's face.

Bisma nodded, “Sama-sama, I hope that when the Godasa script later, he will remember every thing will his loved ones,” said Bisma this time. “Loving while remembering all the things about our loved ones feels so much fun, even if that person doesn't know, but our heart is always happy because we always remember them, she said,” said Bisma this time by holding Kanaya's hand.

He also hopes that the character as an adult will be able to remember everything about the person he loves. Because, according to Bhishma it feels very fun to love while remembering everything about the person. By remembering the person, we have more power to continue to love the person. Bhishma thought back then, feelings were still biased. As it turned out, the more he remembered Kanaya, the more he could only like Kanaya. Even though the time in High School has passed, but all his memories of Kanaya remain neatly stored in his heart and mind.
