15 Years Adrift

Episode 17: Misconceived

Fani immediately stood up and was about to leave from there, but Dimas pulled Fani's hand spontaneously, making Fani fall into his arms.

Fani's heart really wanted to jump his taste, but his body seemed to be unable to move. He was confused and stuck there.

"I know this is presumptuous and seems to cross the line, maybe even this sounds unreasonable. I like you." Dimas said while looking at Fani with a loving gaze, his hand was still firmly grasping Fani's wrist.

He knew it was too fast and sudden, but he also did not expect to have such feelings for Fani.

Fani immediately moved away, and pulled her hand roughly out of Dimas's grasp. "Did I hear wrong?What does Dimas mean?Didn't he think of me as a brother?" He wondered to himself in his heart. While staring at Dimas.

"Se..as many nieces, right, om?" Ask Fani to make sure. Her throat was dry and caused the sentence to sound raspy.

"As a woman." Said Dimas staring in the shade. This sounds absurd. But who would have thought, the affection he had given to Fani as a nephew, turned into a thrilling affection.

"No, you can't, om! We are like family. Can't be the tree! if you know for sure he doesn't agree!" Fani rejected the statement.

"We are family, but we are not Fani's blood. There's no prohibition for me to love you." Dimas approached Fani who was standing with trembling legs.

"If you're not angry, would you accept my feelings?" Dimas touched Fani's face and gently rubbed his cheeks.

Suddenly Fani was sitting limp on the grass of the park. The teeth kept clashing until it produced a sound like a shivering person.

Dimas just smiled looking at Fani's unexpected response. He had thought earlier, surely Fani would slap or hit him. But in fact Fani even like losing half of his life.

"It seems you need some alone time. Then that's me first huh." said Dimas, because he thought Fani would really faint if he was there longer.

Fani's gaze followed the footsteps of Dimas who passed away. The breath returns to regularity, as well as a steady heartbeat.

"Om Dimas is crazy? Why did he declare his love for me? Is there no other woman? I'm very young anyway. aiisss...! How's this...!"

Fani groped and shouted to herself, wanting her taste she went as far as possible in order not to meet Dimas again. He really did not know what to do and how he met face to face with the next Dimas.

...~~~~...

Dimas was making coffee in his office kitchen, he was indeed very independent. Other people's coffee never tasted it.

Suddenly all the employees in the office were scattering out, jostling.

"Something fell off the top of the building.."

"What was the suicide attempt?"

"Maybe"

Say some employees while running, with curious faces.

"Fani..?" The glass held by Dimas fell out of his hand, and his thoughts immediately led to Fani who was still in the roof garden.

Dimas also immediately ran, splitting the office floor with his steps.

"Fani's... Why are you acting stupid. You could've told me to stay away if I was too late, why did you end your life." Mumbled Dimas with his glass-glazed eyes. All possibilities cross his brain.

Who is the woman who will receive, if you get a statement of love from a widower. Moreover, the woman was still very young.

As soon as the elevator door opened Dimas immediately ran out of the building, he broke through the employees who were surrounded by victims. There were ambulances and police there.

When Dimas saw, the victim was put into the ambulance and only a few blood spots were left. Police were putting up a yellow line around the scene.

"Goddess Fani..!" Dimas was like losing his strength to stand up.

Immediately he turned around to follow the ambulance car earlier.

"Mr call me?" Chirps Fani when Dimas just turned around. He felt called just now.

Dimas immediately hugged Fani's body tightly while dripping his tears. "hey.., are you okay? I thought you were jumping off the building."

"Oh yes sorry." Dimas immediately let go of his embrace.

Of course all eyes were on them at this moment. Everyone stared unblinkingly, with gaping mouths.

Dimas rubbed his nose, like he wanted to explain something but confused how to. What is there to explain too?

"You guys look familiar, cuddle up..." Riko threw her cynical look. Intentionally, he led to the suspicion of the employees.

"Yes.., why did you cry and mention Fani's name earlier?" Mila was equally curious.

"mmm.. I think Fani's falling, so I'm worried."

"what?! how can you think of me falling?" asked Fani surprised.

"yes.why do you think Fani fell??" Ask Mila again, with a look of light in her eyes.

"I'm worried. Because I didn't see Fani from earlier." Dimas replied reasoned.

"I would still be worried even if it wasn't Fani. You're all my responsibility here." Dimas confirmed his sentence. Not to forget he put on a serious look, to silence their curiosity.

"So who exactly fell?" Fani looked at Mila and the others.

"Worker cleaning glass outside the building, he fell from the 2nd floor because his safety rope broke" Mila replied with a concerned look on his face.

"Then how is he?" Fani was also worried.

"So, it looks pretty serious." Mila Sahut.

"He would still be worried even if it wasn't Fani, but why would you just shut up?" Tempt Vino while raising his eyebrows.

"It's not my responsibility to worry about him, because he's under his own agency. But of course I will compensate." Dimas replied firmly, so that it does not seem that he is actually only worried about Fani.

"Let's get back to work! Let the police handle this." he added. Then he walked away from there, followed by the employees who disbanded.

Fani follows Dimas to his office, because he wants to get an answer, why Dimas thinks he fell.

"Why do you think Fani fell?"

"Somehow, I think that my previous words made you depressed, plus when it happened you were still on the roof. So I guess you jumped on purpose because it was ...."

"hahahaha, it's not me." Fani laughs at Dimas with her silly thoughts.

"So you don't mind if I love you?" dimas' face instantly turned into a sumringah.

"ngg.maksut Fani yes will not be Fani suicide because of om." Fani bit her lower lip while grinning, it seemed like Dimas was misresponsive again.

Dimas approached Fani and held the girl's soft hand. "Please let me love you Fani. I won't force you to retaliate, but please don't tell me to stop or stay away." The whisper of a soft Dimas in Fani's ear.

deg..!

Fani's breath seemed to stop instantly, his blood rustled warmly making his entire body creep. He really did not think that Dimas was earnest with his words.

Fani pecked right then and there, and her lips felt faint to say nothing.

Dimas hugged Fani with tenderness, his breathing that was blowing very clearly heard in Fani's ears. Dimas was swept away by the long-cherished warmth he craved from a woman. He also rubbed Fani's back gently

"I should how? Mom must be angry. This is not true. Why should I be??" Whining Fani in his heart, he actually did not know how he felt for Dimas. Does he deserve this feeling?
