Love U, Short
Towards the City of Flowers
"Let's look to the left, which is the Ca dam. Well, up ahead there is a good place to eat, like that lesehan. Lots of menus, Ca. There are fish, and then there is young coconut ice. Many people to this dam make just photographs, or eat, but who deliberately held a meeting with his partner. You wanna come over?" Ask dad while glancing at Aisyah through the glass.
"No Dad..Ica is still full. Are mom and dad hungry? if you are hungry, we stop by first" replied Ica, her gaze still pointing towards the vast dam. Moreover, his father slowed down the speed of the car.
"If you are not hungry, how to be hungry, from the snacking, hahaha.. " Aisyah laughed and listened to her mother, and so did Haidar.
Finally they did not come down, Haidar returned to drive the car and in certain places slowed down and explained the places that were considered interesting.
"Well, in this area is usually used as a place of rest, Ca. kayak rest area. Here the climbers usually perform prayers, eat or buy snacks for lunch when njak" Haidar again spoke when he arrived at a mosque with crowded stalls in front of him. then across the street look meatball stalls and flush noodles.
"Why do you remember this place?" Aisha looked at her father.
"Dad was here once when he was in college in the city, Ca. Follow nature lovers children to nanjak. But do not continue the habit, kapok climbing the mountain, make tired, not in accordance with the passion of the father. Dad likes to sit sweet and just enjoy the beauty of nature without such excessive challenges" explained Haidar. But, Aisyah saw the mother smile continuously, tends to hold back the laughter since the father told her.
Aisyah looked at her mother curiously.
"Don't call mom like that Ca. Your dad is funny. It is not his passion. The first time the njak has been in the same mountain dwellers. Brought away anyway. She, see the beautiful girl aja already teased. At that time, we were engaged, hahahha. Get the impact" said mother while laughing. Feeling satisfied because the first time the intention of the lyrics of another girl, his father immediately got mental.
"And I told you, back then, I was sorry to see a girl walking alone in the woods. Mana knows I was taken to get lost, away from friends" Haidar explained lethargic.
"Have known the forest, if normally there would be no brave girl to walk alone.put on a red shirt with long hair unraveled" continued the mother.
Aisha still did not understand. He looked at his father curiously.
"At that time, the father went with the friends.interested in their exciting story.coincidentally, because the father urinated, the father was left behind, forgot to say goodbye to friends. Well, when finished, father mo continued but saw a girl wearing red clothes walking alone looked confused. Then dad approached and asked, he said he followed his girlfriend, but had not met. Be a father and he talks on the way. But for a long time, the girl pointed ahead and said her boyfriend was up ahead and chasing after her. Finally I walked alone, no longer knowing the right route. As the night grew darker, I was lost, alone and cold. The tent is carried by a friend of the father, so it can not install the tent when the cold gets stinging. Until the father fell and when he woke up already in the hospital aja" Haidar told a long story, which was immediately given a drink by his wife after completion.
Until here, Aisyah understood that her father had lost his way while climbing the mountain with his friends in this area.
"Oh.. So the story father lost because of the beautiful girl well. Hehe. mana already have a fiancee, kok still lyrics anyway" Goda Aisyah.
His mother laughed at Aisha's temptation. While Haidar smiled wryly when he remembered that. Fortunately, Haidar's friends who were mostly his seniors on campus and used to climb in the place were quick to respond and look for him. Although a bit late, because Haidar was exposed to hypothermia and injured in the thigh because of a fall to difficult walking.
After knowing a little of his father's story in the past, the journey back filled with other stories. Even his father and mother did not hesitate to tell about their matchmaking that began as a child. In fact, they were introduced from grade 6 Elementary School, and immediately crammed with the understanding that they will get married when they grow up. So, Aisyah's father and mother had never been involved in other love at school even though they did not get an education at the same school.
Although each knows they are getting married, they still take care of themselves and do not overdo it in relationships. Meet rarely, sometimes only exchange messages if there are important things that must be known to each other.
"Ca, across there is a beautiful waterfall. Somewhat far from here.usually the stop was the children who ran out next door. The fishing spot is good Ca, and not too high, we will pass the climbs, derivatives and clear running water that can be drunk immediately, immediately. Then we arrived at the river where the water was very clear. Around the river, we usually wake up tent for a break, stay there". Haidar spoke again when he saw a smaller street even though it had been paved on the right.
"Dad ever been there?" Ask Aisyah.
"Never, Ca. Just a story from a friend, hehe" replied Haidar scratching his head that did not itch.
"Kok dad kayak memorized the situation there?" Wonder Aisyah.
"That's because your father was pestered with photos to videos of his friends traveling there. Hope your father is interested and can cure his trauma to stay alive. But whatever the power, your father was never interested in following his friends again when he wanted to climb the mountain. Even for a holiday in the mountains, if you have to stay and use a tent, he does not want to. He always asked my mother to come along, but our parents always forbade going together without the supervision of a parent or sibling. He said he was afraid of us, heheh.."
"So, when I recover from illness, the inn is always willing to meet your mother. My father began to feel great love because of his concern. When I got to high school, I was starting to feel love, but maybe not yet in that kayak". Answer me with a smile.
The car kept going until it didn't feel like they had been driving for more than two hours. Aisyah and her family had entered the flower city area when the clock showed at 10:00. They left at half-eight in the morning from home. Fear of getting stuck, especially on weekends like this. Because according to information obtained by Haidar, many tourists visit on weekends.
"Well, stop first. Ica wants a photo on the monument that has written it" Pinta Ica to her father when he saw the monument bearing the city of flowers on the left side of the road.
Haidar slowed down the car and stopped. On the side of the road that is wide enough so as not to disturb other vehicles. Aisyah and her mother came down to take a picture. Then Haidar participated. They were photographed in three different styles.
"In front there is a better photo place, kayak gate, entrance gate of flower city. But the shape is unique like a cone, beautiful because there are flowers that propagate, when the night there are lights" Light Haidar explained again so that his son was more enthusiastic again.
"If so, come on Dad, let's continue" Aisyah asked excitedly. His father could only smile, embrace his wife back to the car, open the front door, and after his wife's son felt comfortable in the car, Haidar drove forward.
