A Friend From the Past
Section 5
***
The hot air that afternoon somehow felt cool to Dinda, as she read the message from someone named Dhani.
After weighing up, Dinda finally decided to reply to the chat as necessary. He who has not been close to men for a long time, felt a bit uncomfortable when getting a chat from a foreign man who even just met a few days ago, he said, it was just a few seconds and unintentionally.
"Yes, I'm Dinda, I'm sorry what's needed?" answer Dinda.
"So, during the futsal match that day, I initially accidentally saw you, I saw your cheerful nature and it made me curious about you. Then I asked my cousin if she knew you, and she said you knew each other, and then she told me your name. I was also interested when I saw you going around the field to capture the moment of a futsal match. I thought by asking about the photo, I could get to know you."
Dinda, who has never been close to any man for a long time, feels uncomfortable when approached by Dhani, especially Dinda's heart is still fixated on someone in her past. A handsome man who Dinda knew 5 years ago while she was still in high school. His name was Zayn, and he was 2 years older than Dinda. The man who was Dinda's first love, but unfortunately, he never dared to express his feelings because he realized that he was a woman especially they were good friends. Dinda does not want their friendship to be ruined just because Dinda expresses her feelings to Zayn.
A month after the introduction, they turned into close friends, even like brother and sister. After graduating High School, Zayn decided to study at one of the leading Universities in the Capital. Early Zayn entered college, their communication was still smooth and their friendship was getting heavier, but entering the second year of college, Zayn began to be busy with all the activities on the campus, he was the chairman of BEM at the time. Slowly the communication between the two was reduced and even disappeared completely, somehow the story, they no longer contact each other. Lastly, Dinda heard that Zayn was accepted to work at one of the largest mining companies in Indonesia. But only until there was news about Zayn, the rest was no more news that Dinda knew. Although it has long never been a greeting or meet, but deep in Dinda's heart, the name Zayn is still imprinted and he keeps it well, maybe as a memory of the first love he ever felt.
Not that no man approached Dinda, but indeed he was like keeping a distance from any man, especially his current priority was his mother and sister, Dinda just wants to work well in order to help ease the burden of the mother, as well as to finance her sister's school. So, at this time he had no thoughts at all to establish a relationship with any man, his heart is icy cold. The separation of his parents also caused a trauma in Dinda's heart to date.
