The Season of Love
Love You Too

Nindya gasps, her breathing is heavy and feels almost broken through the climbs of love. Though, he walked half drawn Eagle. Seeing that the young man could still grimace in front of him, Nindya realized that his physique was too flaccid.

The eagle wiped the sweat on Nindya's face with his band, "Capek?"

"Very, it feels like I can't possibly walk anymore, El! My legs are shaking," complained Nindya hyperbola. Tiredness approached, making his body weak without energy. "What a break?!"

The eagle invited Nindya to sit on the side of the road, straightened her lecturer's legs and gave her bag to lean on. Nindya's face was slightly reddish, probably because her heart was pumping blood too fast. "What do you feel?"

There are people who have cold allergies, there are also sudden illness when adapting to mountain weather. Eagle found a similar case when mass climbing activities held mapala. Excessive fatigue sometimes causes several diseases that have never existed before to appear suddenly.

"That's a big deal, that's it!" lamented Nindya trying to review the smile. "It looks like I'm lacking in sport, just riding this way already want to faint feels."

"Swimming twice a week is the same as I let fit, I pick up from next week. Once a week I also have a special endurance exercise, interested?"

Nindya shook her head, "Maybe swimming is enough. Duh where I haven't been swimming anymore …."

"I'll teach you again!"

"Too me, El!" In Nindya's heart cursing, how the Eagle is still very relaxed after riding a steep climb carrying his big bag, also still to be burdened with pulling it.

Nindya's brain suddenly felt wild after staring at her student who was standing firmly in front of her from the feet to the ends of the hair.

"Why? Drink when thirsty!" The eagle looked back at Nindya's eyes which were observing her on purpose. "Is there still a drink?"

"Still." Nindya threw her face the other way, pretending to pay attention to the vegetable fields that were hit by the afternoon sun. Also discard silly thoughts about how long the Eagle's endurance while seriously playing naughty with him.

With the condition of the Eagles are prime like that it feels Nindya will not be able to compensate. He must have lost a lot. Ah it feels Nindya really needs exercise if you want to be with Eagle in the future. Oops ... Nindya's face burned instantly.

After Nindya's breathing was regular and there were no complaints of fatigue, the Eagle led her down the road to basecamp. Not so far away, and they immediately rested as soon as they arrived, putting the mat on the floor so they could lie down for a while.

"There's a river behind this house, the water's so clear."

"Away?" ask Nindya curiously.

"Not up to 50m, want to see the view of the hills near the river? While waiting for the food to be ready, I've ordered a meal to Ms. RT the same hot tea just now!"

Nindya took a sitting position, her legs were still fluttering while waiting for the Eagle to tidy up the contents of her bag. "I want to see the mumpung here! Not necessarily repeatable, right? I want to take a lot of pictures."

The eagle reached out for Nindya to wake up. "Let's go dark!"

The golden-glossy afternoon river. The ripples created when hitting rocks cause a soothing gurgle and roar. The shadow of a tree falling on the water becomes a refinement of the beauty of the twilight sun that will fall touching the horizon.

Nindya's eyes and hearing seemed to be again spoiled by nature. By the red-orange lights that break through the wilderness. By the chirping of birds ready to return to their nests, by the world of the recently known Eagle.

Previously Nindya did not really like what the universe presented to humans, for her. There is no privilege when seeing it in the crowd or when alone.

Maybe because Nindya used to see the majesty of creation just simply, not the same as now, when someone showed how to enjoy the charm of nature with all its senses.

Capturing all the pictures recorded beautifully by the eye into the phone, that's what Nindya is doing. Like a local tourist who never travels. Nindya did not care if maybe someone said she was ndeso or kathrok with admiration. Because, what he went through now will be one sweet memory that fills his diary.

"You didn't take a picture, El? It's a great result."

"No, if you want to see this view, you'll stay here again."

Nindya moaned enviously, "Your son, you can walk wherever you like, look at amazing things like this."

The eagle smiled charmingly, then said firmly, "You can come, there is always a romantic place for us both to visit."

Nindya's face turned grim, "If only I hadn't been born too soon!"

The eagle laughed at the lecturer's silly words. "When do I dispute our age difference? You're the one who thinks I'm inappropriate for a variety of reasons."

The eagle invited Nindya back to the basecamp without wanting to hear a cliche from the lecturer's mouth, "We eat first!"

And Nindya had to be patient, making the Eagle want to hear every word was quite difficult. "El, which part of my sentence do you not understand?"

"Your dishonesty I don't understand, sweetie!"

"What's? Which one?"

The eagle just put on a thin line of smiles, pulling Nindya's hand to follow her to the climbing basecamp. "I'm hungry! It's dark too!"

Small talk accompanied their dinner. Elang and Nindya then took a break for an hour before starting the climb.

Eagles and some other climbers choose the time before midnight to start the journey. They want enough rest under the savanna before going to the top, although eventually the Eagle and Nindya left the group because they often stop to rest and adjust the breath.

"Nerah?" ask the gentle Eagle. Nindya's condition is unlikely to be forced to be strong like other climbers. "Want a break? Tomorrow morning you can see the sunrise from here, still beautiful even though not perfect!"

"Yes, so tired! Feet are cramping!" nindya said she was not feeling well.

The eagle told Nindya to sit down while she set up the dome tent in a flat place. After finishing arranging the new bed told Nindya to come in. The eagle sits in front of the tent door, turns on the stove and makes a warm drink for them.

"What milk is coffee?"

"Susu just let it sleep well," replied Nindya who had been lying idly. "Good weather!"

"Yes, but the weather's getting colder. Drink this warm mump." The eagle tidied the cooking container, then brought two glasses of milk into the tent that was decorated with headlamp.

"You're good with all nature's activities, El! Bring a skilful boat, climb experts, goa down can, on the mountain is also great. Is that the mapala boy?"

The eagle chuckled, "You could say that's the standard. From the beginning, the organization of field education is not far from natural activities like this."

Nindya finished her milk quickly. His eyes were sleepy from being tired and it was also too cold for him. He curled up first after yawning a few times.

The eagle rubbed eucalyptus oil on the soles of Nindya's feet, then paired the socks, massaging the calves for a while just pulled the zipper sleeping bag used Nindya up to the chest. Finally put up his bandana to use Nindya to cover the head, hair and ears. "Wear this to cover your ears so it's not too cold."

Nindya was stunned, not expecting that the Eagle would pay attention to the details of her sleep needs. Once again Nindya yawned and muttered softly, "Crowsy!"

After replacing the lighting with a small tent lamp, the Eagle also laid itself down next to Nindya.

"Have a good rest!" the eagle began to close his eyes. The strict orders that made Nindya uncomfortable. "Nite, My Love!"

"Well, are you sleeping anyway?" nindya Protest. "I'm afraid to be alone, El!"

"Yes I have waited until you are sound," said the Eagle, stretching his hand over Nindya's head. "Here!"

Nindya tightened her body, clad in the arms of the Eagle and slightly lowered her head to the shoulder of the young man. Inhaling the perfume of the Eagle that began to fade and mixed with the smell of sweat.

Nindya really hates herself for liking the smell that comes in her nose. The typical masculine man's smell of Eagle.

Resisting his embarrassment, Nindya put one hand under the Eagle's jacket, seeking warmth by directly touching the belly skin of her mischievous student.

"I love you too, El!" nindya whispered in the Eagle's ear. Reply to the expression Eagle at the ramp of love this afternoon. Very soft like a breath, but able to make the Eagle smile widely when he heard it. Happy that the beautiful young lecturer finally gave up on him.

Nindya fell asleep after expressing her feelings. Relieved for being able to be honest and dare to make a confession that he always denied.

Somehow next to their relationship, Nindya no longer wanted to feel and guess. He just wants to live his life like an eagle. Simple, free and not much calculation.

The transmission of Eagle virus does not feel too bad for his flat life so far. Nindya wants to enjoy the new color that Eagle has painted in her days, the color that comes from the obsession and love of a mapala.
