The Sign of Love
Gardens Celebrate Love

After Relina came in and paid for the ticket her gaze was immediately fixed on some photos or and some articles on the wall. All historical places, there is always this kind of information. Articles that are deliberately made like wall magazines have been in schools.

The girl read it carefully. For as long as he knew, Bogor Botanical Garden was made and inaugurated by someone in the Dutch era. He still remembers when the place was developed by Thomas Stamford Raffles.

'Ahk, I forgot .. is he the same person who is said to have found the corpse flower so that the flower is named rafflesia as the name implies?'

The botanical garden was not created by General Gooder Alexander Gerald Philips in 1817. One of the Dutch East Indies generals, assisted by James Hooper and a friend again from W Kent from the famous botanical garden, in Richmond England.

In fact, this botanical garden was originally a decision made and initiated by Sri Baduga Maharaja in the days of Prabu Siliwangi kingdom, which was successful in 1474 to 1813 and all this is written in the inscription of the slate, which is preserved until now.

King Sri Baduga at that time built the botanical garden with the aim to protect various kinds of plants and as an environmental development garden.

'Hmm .. glorious once the goal at that time. Now it is a tourist spot'

It is remarkable for Relina who just learned the history of this botanical garden, it was initiated by a king in the royal era, before the Dutch ruled over the country. They have been thinking positively far ahead to protect the environment and develop a variety of plants.

"Ekhem!" there was a sound of people thumping quite loudly beside Relina, making her daydream stop instantly and turn her head.

Relina saw a woman who looked almost like a man from the style of clothing she wore as well as the hairstyle set, without earrings anyway.

'Eh, I think he's a boy'

Were it not for the diamond ring as well as the small sling bag of red, hanging on his shoulder, it would have made him almost legally called, Mas!

"So serious anyway?" said the girl was familiar. Relina just smiled knots trying to appreciate each other between visitors. There were only the two of them on that information board, considering that now was not a holiday, making the atmosphere not too crowded.

"Please, Tea .. if you want to read."

"Ck! Tea, Tea, call me Ica!" The sweet girl said as she extended her hand and smiled.

He invited Relina to get acquainted because anyone who wants to go around there does need a friend to talk to, it seems like they both are suitable. Relina welcomed the girl's hand and since she was taller than Relina made her look up a little while talking.

"You alone?" Ica and Relina asked.

"You want to go for a walk, right? I'm alone too."

"What a coincidence, do you have any more problems?"

"meaning?" Ask Ica wonder. He hesitated while taking a glimpse into the appearance of himself who might have impressed like a troubled girl.

As they chatted, their footsteps began to pass through the round-shaped building, with several sturdy whitewashed pillars, a hall that became the mascot or cirikhas of the place.

"I'm sorry, I just thought maybe we both had problems until we came here to calm down."

Ica laughed, "So you still have a problem?" It feels strange when coming to a place that should be used as a place to gather together, only visited alone.

"Yes, a little." Relina says without burden. Because what is the sadness of not changing the situation? Her thought.

"Can I know?" Ica looked at Relina.

"Why I got kicked out of my job."

"So you're fired?" The Ica showed a concerned reaction.

"Yes .. that's it." Relina said as she shrugged her shoulders and hands slightly. Unasked, he recounted the events of the day either while with Junda or when he had a meeting at the hotel.

They spoke while continuing to enjoy the scenery around, the various types of trees, the lush and various other plants along the way, spoiling their eyes. The atmosphere became warmer as they shared their experiences and also the reason they were able to get there.

Relina thinks maybe today is her last time in the city, which is famous for its taro and salty. He felt he had not had time to visit several tourist attractions, although it had been more than a year of activity as a resident of the city.

"Then, what happened to you, definitely not because it calmed down and regarded this place as a farewell like me, right?" Ask Relina.

"Hmm .. no," Icha replied with a sad face. "I came here on purpose to remember someone" he said.

'Oh yeah? Do you come here every year?"

Icha nodded interspersed with a small laugh, laughing at herself, but there was nothing funny as they spoke earlier. He feels naive because every time he goes to that place hoping that the person he loves is there, is looking for him too.

'What kind of mistakes, for example? Ahk .. none of my business'

"Where is your husband now, why are you alone?"

"Hahaha .. My marriage was annulled unilaterally."

"So you didn't get married and your girlfriend is gone?"

'Oh my God, his fate is more tragic than mine, he may experience love from the one night stand mistake, then be left on the wedding day'

"Yes that way, like the story in a fairy tale, huh?"

Relina nodded while looking at the diamond ring in Ica's hand. "So you wish he was looking for you because he missed you here?"

"Ahk, already .. don't mock me. He can't remember me, right?"

"Why, it's always the love of a woman, only liking one man in her life, unless that man really hurt her, then he'll leave her, right?"

Ica nodded, "you're right."

"If she did love you, she would definitely remember you." Relina said with a smile.

"Yes, hopefully,"

'Ahk, I've been like a madman coming to this place almost every month'

"Oh sorry, I'm talking this way. We just knew each other."

"Just because we don't know each other, we're not going to talk about each other's secrets, are we?" Relina tries to think positively. "Different if we have many friends who know each other, I can talk about you behind my back."

They chuckled together.

They did not feel like they had passed through one location, and now they were standing in front of the fence of the famous Bungan carrion, a flower that would bloom in a year, once or twice.

"Yes well, thank you for listening to my complaint" Ica said.

"Together, may we both be lucky, huh? You can find your lover again."

Hearing Relina's words, Ica smiled. Actually, the man is not a real lover. He was a man who had already taken his heart since they had been in a forbidden relationship, a relationship they absolutely did not want. That's why Ica said it was all a mistake. It's just that he can't forget the guy who is so cool to him.

'She's not a lover, but the trail is so clear, maybe I can't forget her, my whole life'

"Yes, you can also rediscover my good work and you can do it all year long." Ica also prayed for kindness for Relina.

They ended the conversation when they realized it was already late afternoon. They do not feel they have gone through several parts, at the location of the famous Bogor Botanical Garden.

To celebrate their meeting, Icha invited Relina to eat at a restaurant not far from there. When they came out of that place, it was the shadow of a man he had not known for a long time. The figure of the man was caught by the tip of Relina's eyes who hitchhiked in Icha's car, while Icha focused on driving his vehicle.

'Uh, that was Mr. Fuad, I didn't see it wrong, did I?'

Relina looked back, until she saw clearly the adult male, who was walking into the Bogor Botanical Garden was Fuad, his former manager.

"What do you see" Ica asked as she saw Relina turn her body.

"I think I saw it wrong, it wasn't."

"Who?" Relina asked without looking.

"My former manager why is he here now almost late in the afternoon and soon the garden is closed."

"Oh, maybe he's just making sure of something important."

"It can be."
