The False Lover the Culun
Chapter 28. Goose Pendant

Like a goose bird flying out of a group formation, it would find it heavy and difficult to fly alone.

He would quickly return to the formation to take advantage of the carrying capacity that the bird in front of him provided.

So even with us, consider staying in formation with those walking ahead.

We can take help and give help to others. It is harder to do something alone than to do it together.

# GIBRAN POV #

“Sherina .. can you move your legs faster? Look at a few more minutes and today will be over soon!” grumbling.

Without me knowing how many times I grumbled tonight, because the woman was stubbornly not wanting me to get to the top of the hill.

Well, we're currently going through an uphill road to reach Alesano hill.

After successfully forcing him to come with me, I took him to Alesano Hill which is in Cipelang Village, Cijeruk Subdistrict, Bogor Regency, West Java.

After that I tried to get to this place faster with the aim of nothing else so that we can still pass the moment of his birthday today together.

Now I was annoyed by Sherina who was walking so slowly, while in a matter of minutes today will soon change.

“Ayolah .. let me help you,” my door while reaching out so that He can reach it.

“How? Carrying me?” tanyakanya.

I'm nodding.

“I think it's just your wits to take a chance in narrowness,” reply.

“That's because you always think bad about me,”.

“Came on Sherina, we are now both adults,” I said, “I have changed, you alone from cupu can turn into ..”

I don't continue my words.

Actually I want to admit that she looks beautiful now, very beautiful. But I didn't say it on purpose lest Sherina get big.

My frustration finally paid off when I saw the glitter of the city of Bogor from a height on the hill Alesano.

“Huhh ... huhh .. huhh ... “ Sherina's breath-taking distracts me.

I opened a bottle of mineral water that I had prepared when I wanted to go up the hill.

“Minum!” Excruciate.

Sherina grabbed a bottle of mineral water from my hand, but that made me finally frown at me because she didn't drink it right away.

I observed his movements examining the mineral water bottle closely. “What else now? If you don't need to drink, bring the water because I'm still thirsty,”.

Before long I saw Sherina open the bottle of mineral water, before she began to gulp it down she smiled first.

“Weird basis,” mumbled.

“I'm not weird!” expostulation.

“I just don't want you to take any more chances in a narrowing,”.

“Cih ..” I grinned, “What chance can I take using a bottle of mineral water,” reply I do not understand the meaning.

“You may want to steal my kiss through this bottle ..” he said suspiciously.

I laughed out loud at Sherina's reason.

“Either you are completely plain or just pretending to be plain,”.

“If I just want a kiss, I don't have to steal it. I can directly, at any time, without permission, or even without the cue to kiss you,”.

I was further agitated by Sherina's mannerisms as she stepped back slowly with both hands covering her mouth.

“Arrrgghhhh, why is he acting adorable anyway..could-can I really pounce on his lips, my inner”.

Oh, my God, I almost forgot the original purpose of taking her to this hill.

“Sherina, come here!”

“Because this still includes your birthday, then I will kindly give you a gift,”.

“But I never asked for and do not need a gift from you,” replied tightly.

“Although so, I still want to give him,” my firm, do not want to be denied.

“Reverse!” my door.

Sherina didn't budge, she even crossed her arms with a question mark on me.

Because I can't wait to turn his body behind me, until now he can see the beauty of the city of Bogor filled with flickering colorful lights that are stretched 360 degrees from the top of the hill.

Sherina flinched when a necklace with a goose-shaped pendant I looped around her white neck.

“Happy birthday Sherina,”.

Sherina was still sculpting, not budging in the slightest.

“Te-thank you Gibran,” reply with stammering.

“But I really didn't expect anything,” he said.

“But I was expecting it Sherina.”

“I'm sorry for the incident 8 years ago. Whether you believe it or not, but I do have a problem with controlling my emotions,”.

I see Sherina wasn't so surprised by my confession.

“What did Rafie tell you about it?”

Sherina's silence was the answer.

“But it's all because Rafie wants me to stop misunderstanding you and I've forgiven you,”.

“Then can we still go back to how we used to be?”

“You mean back to being a fake lover again? But for what? Now that I'm fine, there's no one to run me over,” he replied.

And ... hearing that was all honest if I was very, very upset and disappointed.

“Did she really have no feelings for me at all? Even if it's just a tiny bit of that feeling, isn't there?” my inner.

“Good if now you are fine, congratulations because of that,” I replied.

“But now I'm not okay,”.

“If I used to help you, it is time for me to ask you for help, help me thwart the arranged marriage arranged by my parents,”. That ridiculous excuse just came out of my lips.

“How?” ask Sherina.

“Same as before, be my lover!”

“Ta-but ... fake lover, right?” Ask doubtfully.

I nodded, if this is the only way to get it back then I will.

I saw Sherina still hesitating, her forehead even frowning at the thought of this.

“Can you give me time? I have to think about this carefully,” asked.

“Please, use your time well. All you need to remember is I'm an impatient person,”

“You must know if waiting is one of the things I don't like,”.

This time Sherina did not answer. He just nodded, then looked back at the beauty of Bogor city tonight.

It's 3 in the morning when my car stops right in front of Sherina's house.

“Thank you for the impressive kidnapping,” he said.

I laughed again at Sherina's sarcasm.

“No need to hesitate, this is your birthday anyway. Of course there must be beautiful things that you must remember, my reply” made Sherina smile very sweet.

“Can I ask you something?”

I nodded allowing it.

“This necklace is pendant goose, is there a certain meaning behind it?” tanyakanya.

“You sure you want to know?”

Sherina nodded.

“Many things we can learn from geese,”.

Sherina's face is getting pretty at a time like this.

“When the leader of the flying swan flock is tired, then he will retreat and soon another goose bird takes his place and duties,” I explained.

“Not to mention with the low boisterous sound of geese flying at the back in formation, solely aimed to give spirit to the goose bird in front of him in order to keep up his flying speed.”

“Then it has to do with the reason you gave me this necklace what?” ask Sherina.

“I want you to understand that like swans, humans are interdependent with each other in terms of ability, capacity and are unique in their gifts, talents or other resources. So just believe in yourself, and rest assured if there will be people who need your help and you who need the help of others,”.

“And also believe that your voice can strengthen and not weaken others, so believe in yourself before you help others.”.

“I understand now, thank you for trying to remind me of the hardest thing I did,”.

“So, may I believe that you will consider my request earlier? I need your help, I need your voice now Sherina,” talk to me again.

“I'll think about it, thanks for tonight,” he said before he finally got off my car and rushed into his house.

While my net was watching Sherina who was slowly getting away and finally disappeared behind her door, I could only monologue alone in the car.

“In addition goose is also used as a symbol of true love although not as popular as doves. Because a goose loves only her mate, she reproduces to produce offspring only with her mate. That is why swans symbolize loyalty in relationships. And actually I wish we could be like that, first."
