Reincarnation Love
Episode 7's

“Why is he swinging around in every delusion of mine. Why every time I remember it, it's like I found Mom. Dispersing the Rahmania that had been accompanying me in every beat. My pain all this time about Rahmania's marriage paid off already in this country. Mother's ancestral country,” said Dai alone half whispered.

Step by step Dai set foot in the front yard of the parking lot of the Faculty of Culture Minang building. The parking lot is still quiet, not too many vehicles are lined up in the parking lot of the Faculty of Culture Building. There were only a few cars visible in the huge parking lot.

Dai, I don't know why his arrival today was too early. Ever since he got to know Saidah, I don't know why he's changed a little. His spirit seemed to have shot to an even faster point. Now, slowly the shadow of the woman seemed to follow her steps.

 This morning Dai's belief in Saidah seemed to be coming true, something he really expected. His eyes began to search the parking area in case the woman had arrived.

“Da!” a hand landed on Dai's shoulder, making him look back. Aware of that, the footsteps of people who tried to follow his steps were ignored. Because the mind was too busy towards Saidah, the woman who started dancing in her heart.

“You Bing,” greet Dai

“You came this morning. Not as usual.”

“More morning is better, is there a term if we wake up late our sustenance will be pegged chicken. Ha.ha,” kilah Dai with his special laugh.

 “Well. You yourself so early have also come?” reply Dai who asked.

“I have a task I can't do at home. I asked Saidah for help,” Ibing said.

“You are familiar with Saidah,” asked Dai curiously

“That tongue is still my cousin, he's a banana1 from my mother.”

“Banana, means different tribes dong,” Dai curious, if there is a special relationship between Ibing and Saidah, it will be accompanied by a feeling that danced all this time in his heart. Of course everything will go away.

“Iya. I have a panyalai2 while Saidah is sikumbang3.”

“In the tribe of Minang, it seems that you can establish a relationship with the child of your own Uncle,” said Dai full of inquiries.

“You mean I have a love affair with Saidah! Ha ha..” Ibing chuckled herself in response to Dai's words. While Dai was silent, in silence he was relieved by Ibing's laughter evading what he had expected.

“Da. You have absolutely nothing to do with Saidah. He's too close for me. Ha.ha,” Ibing sentence accompanied by his crisp laughter continued, then a moment later he continued his words again.

“Emang is in custom rang Minang, the term return ka bako4. This means that you can marry your own uncle's son because of different tribes, but the era has come a long way. The event is already very rare now.”

“If that feeling speaks, how is Bing. Although the times have changed human feelings must remain the same. Could love be intertwined beautifully,” fishing rod Dai.

“If I were with Saidah nothing would happen. We were very close when we were kids. Not only close relationships as brothers, also close to home.

“Mamak ambo5 mating with neighbors who are only separated by a few steps only.”

Dai nodded in a sign of understanding.

“It will be different if the condition is if someone who returns to the bako. When they were far apart, and when adults just happened to meet. Love could have flourished between the two of them,” Ibing did not continue his speech instead he noticed Dai who was so serious about investigating about Saidah.

“Day. You seem to want to know about Saidah. Is there a feeling of your love towards him,” Ibing's goda

Being asked like that Dai went awry. He breathed as deeply as possible. “I just want to know the custom and culture only,” elak Dai relaxed

“It. He Saidah,” Ibing turned his mouth towards the parking lot of the motorbike, where it appeared Saidah was locking his motorcycle seat and hooked his helmet on the right front of the motorcycle handlebar.

“Eh. I went to Saidah first yes,” Ibing said asking for permission from Dai. His steps seemed to be flushed after Saidah.

Dai could only gawk with his chest slightly pounding incoherently, his eyes did not blink looking at the woman, it was difficult to be diverted as if fixated. Then he followed the steps of Ibing who approached Saidah.

Saidah really kept her promise that morning, she came early to the campus to meet Dai. I don't know, why in an instant did he want Dai to arrive in front of him?

“I can only give this, Bing,” Saidah gave a book to Ibing who approached her.

Ibing picked up the book, shrugging her shoulders, I need an explanation!”

“Not to worry, there I have scratched my pen contains an easy to understand explanation,” Saidah assured Ibing.

Saidah then approached Dai, started his chatter, and unconsciously Ibing passed by with her face together while shaking her head and muttering softly, “You are already made!”

“Sorry. I made him go,” Dai said after Ibing passed from before them.

“He's my cousin!” reply Saidah. Dai nodded with a sumringah smile, “I've known from Ibing before. I don't know! I don't know why so great this curiosity about Minangkabau.”

Saidah was often asked by friends from outside Minangkabau, asking everything that became foreign and felt different in Indonesia in general, it was as if it became the attraction of the Minangkabau itself to the people out there.

“Minangkabau did make the crowd curious, I heard a lot about the questions people out there about the invitation money6nya, matrilineal7nya, ..” said Saidah.

“I also want to know about Minangkabau in Negeri Sembilan,” Dai said.

“I also want everyone to know about Minagkabau in Negeri Sembilan. I once dreamed of taking friends to study tour there, but..”.

“But why…? Is that a good idea!” Dai responded to Saidah's interrupted speech.

“Need many sponsors, we are looking for sponsors to finance the tour study trip,” Saidah replied.

“I'm willing to sponsor such travel expenses,” said Dai.

Saidah looked into Dai's eyes, she did see Dai as a college boy, to a luxury car school, but she had never known Dai's family and her background.

      “Hmmm, no need, it will not be easy, just help as a sponsor search team,” Saidah later said.

“No need to find a sponsor, I seriously want to finance, I have savings,” said Dai assured.

“Do not use savings, it is for the future,” Saidah said. Dai felt Saidah messing with his words. “Oh yes for a minute,” said Dai while taking HP inside his shirt pocket. He opened an SMS banking and checked his savings balance. “This is see my saldoku,” said Doa thrusting SMS banking that contains his savings balance.

 Saidah watched carefully for the seriousness of Dai, then did not realize Saidah until agape. “Bu..not that I mean, I believe I believe.but...you think again the plan use that money.”.

“Well, if you don't want to, I'll find a sponsor easily, My father will be happy to fund our tour studies later,” said Dai did not despair.

Dai took out his father's business card, which contained the company name and the company website address. “My dad really likes to finance this all, believe me!” continued Dai.

Again Saidah was amazed by Dai's words, he was unable to say anything more.

His heart was so sure of Dai's words. With a smile full of warmth looked at Dai's eyes while nodding a sign of agreement. Daipun returned that smile so beautifully. Their hearts felt peaceful and so serene, moreover Dai, all of this seemed to be a healing of his heart wounds in the past that were deeply wounded. Saidah is now looking into the future about the research plan to Malaysia.
