15 Years Adrift

episode 5: the dag dig dug.

"oh yeah.. Your wife didn't come here?" Tanya Nita, as she remembered Dimas moved out of the country to get married.

Instantly Dimas' sparkling expression turned lethargic. "I've been divorced for a long time."

"Even I've been married twice but both of them I failed to keep."

Dimas told Nita the bitter story he experienced during his two marriages. Actually, he was ashamed, because as a man failed to guide his wife to be a good wife, he also continued to be haunted by fear to establish a relationship in the future.

"i'm sorry, I don't have a crush on you." Nita feels disinclined because it has made Dimas remember his past.

"Om Dimas is a good person, surely later dapet companion who really love the same om." Said Dika, he felt sorry for what his oom experienced.

"hehe.makasih Dika's. Let's just say the experience of om who failed to live in a household, became a lesson for all of you yes. So that you may be serious in the household."

Dimas advised all of them including Fani, they nodded their nods except for ayu who still did not understand the topic of their conversation.

They also continued the nostalgic chat, going to memories 10 years ago. Until it does not feel the clock has shown at 23:00.

Fani takes care of the dirty dishes they used to eat, and she takes them to the back sink, her mother cleans the stall and the rest of the merchandise.

while her younger sister Fani is already on the bed, since they all have to go to school tomorrow.

"Want me...e..m help?" Dimas was already standing beside Fani, thus making her shocked.

"No need to om.. later the clothes are dirty, besides it's malem too, why don't you just go home?" Fani was a little nervous when she was near Dimas.

"Looks I used to not be nervous about being rich if deket om Dimas. Why now

awkward yeah. Because I haven't seen you in a long time." Inner Fani while holding back her nervousness.

"You're upset about the story..?" Dimas glanced at the shade, at the round-eyed girl.

"No, that's.then I'm tired. You're a guest, when Fani told to wash the dishes."

"Om strong, after all, om already considered you family, so om not a guest here but your family." Dimas picked up the sponge that Fani was holding and then they washed the dishes together.

"Since when has Fani become this beautiful.." Inner Dimas while stealing a glance towards Fani. The souls of his lonely widows were turbulent, whether deserved or not, for sure his heart was pounding.

"Oh my goodness Dimas! Aware you. He's your nephew. He's very young. You may think so." his murmur resuscitated itself.

Meanwhile, Fani's unrelenting heart was pounding, when she realized Dimas continued to steal a look at her.

file.dig.dug..

Fani felt her heart was about to jump out. The masculine aroma that rippled from Adimas' body made Fani so scared, groggy, and also misbehaved.

After finishing washing the dishes, Dimas also helped Fani rearrange the dishes they had cleaned.

"Your face is red, are you sick?"

Fani was immediately shocked, as she froze when Dimask's burly hand touched her cheek. They used to touch each other like that, but now? It's been very different, right?

"Tuh, hot again your face" said Dimas fingered the entire face of Fani, making Fani more thoughtful who did not.

"No, maybe this, because of the night wind, yes. So red. Fani comes in first if that's it." With a stammering tone, Fani immediately ran into her house.

"Dih..what the hell is about Dimas, the feeling he used to not get rich that way. It must have been the effect of most of the same old man's outsider he was, hence his bar behavior. Hold it carelessly!" Gerutu Fani was annoyed as she put her lips together.

Dimas who saw Fani wrongly just a small smile.

"She's still the little girl I knew before." she said softly.

"Morning, Pa.. Ma.." said Dimas who just joined the dining table.

"For the mama's son." reply Rianti who is none other than his mama Dimas.

"wihh. papa's son looks really good again. Early in the morning had a smile, his usual face was tangled in the morning." Adit teased his son who noticed from earlier smile his own smile.

"Don't we want to be familiar with the new potential ghost Pa.." said Rianti smiled widely.

"What a Pa, Ma. Dimas tu again very seneng, because last night Dimas met again the same mother Nita, Mama still want it that used to be often told Dimas." Said Dimas refuting his parents with a big smile.

"ohh yes... mama still snot, how are they healthy??"

"healthy ma.. Dimas seneng really they still want the same Dimas."

"Surely dong..nobody can ngelupain Papa's child." chirped Adit while chewing his breakfast.

"Thank God they are healthy. Just try you know their mother from the past, for sure as long as you do not have a mother will often visit them."

"yes Ma.. Dimas just don't want it later mama even uncomfortable because Dimas considers them family."

"Yes, don't dong, baby. Mama was just glad you could help them, oh yes the child you hit was how news? " Rianti asked about Fani's state.

"Healthy ma, fortunately the accident did not pose a serious risk. " Dimas suddenly smiled again when talking about Fani.

His parents just threw questionable gazes at each other. Because only this time Dimas was so happy when discussing other people. Since the divorce, Dimas was often moody and focused only on his work, he never smiled at anyone. Even if she smiled, her smile was so barren, there was no beauty at all.

"oh yes, what if we are shopping today. My mom hasn't been shopping for a long time. All of you bring Mama to your mother's house, mama really want to know them from the past." Rianti asked his son enthusiastically.

"yes yes maa... " Dimas smiled sweetly towards his mama.
