ARINDAS
Goodbye to Jakarta



After exiting the room, Ricko rejoins the living room.


“Rick ...”


Ricko shakes. “Still silent, Zack. Just a little response when I talk about marriage.” He pointed at his cheek. “Gue slapped and kicked out.”


Everyone breathed a heavy breath.


“Arinda loves you so much, Mr. Ricko. Since long ago until now. He rejected many men just to wait for you.” Started to open the sound.


“And, stupidly I, when we met again just rejected it harshly.”


“I know. I told her to forget about you and marry the man who loves her. But ... Arinda refused. He said, if you can't marry you, being a spinster is an irrefutable choice. The boy is not interested in any man except the man named Ricko Bagaskara.”


Ricko looked down inside. Guilt is getting worse.


Dini continues her story. From the start his parents who sold him, being rude, last kicked him out of the house.


“Arinda had time to travel in no direction when out of the house. In fact, until it was in Bandung.”


“Di Bandung? Alone?” Zacky asked.


“Yes. She is alone,” replied Early.


“Arinda.” Zacky covered his face. Talk about the life story of the sister.


Dini again tells about the life of Arinda in Bandung. Starting from being an SPG, waitress, to working in a salon and boutique.


“Not a single durable job. Because men are always bothering him. Time to be a servant, Father and son even at the same time love it. And, while at the boutique the prospective son-in-law of the owner blatantly expressed love. The wedding was in sight. But, Arinda rejected them all and chose to go.”


Dini also told me about their meeting complete with the condition of the girl who was frightened. Also the story about the first time Arinda got in to work at Narendra. Suddenly it was moved to VM.


Ricko listened and began to understand now why Arinda could enter his family's company. It was originally because of Dini. Then, continued by the beautiful scenario of the women Narendra.


“Arinda. Why is your life winding?” Zacky rubbed his face rough. It is sad to hear everything.


“Thankfully the boy was good at taking care of himself. Arinda preferred her honor to remain awake for her future husband rather than many possessions. Therefore, his life was always difficult. Because, his face troubles him in finding money. You're a lucky guy if you're a match for him, Mr. Ricko. She's a fine woman.”


Ricko smiled at me. Because, he is also a lucky man because he has the love of Arinda.


“Tu is also amazingly beautiful. I, the hell, admit that Arinda has a deadly charm,” said Dito smiled.


Ricko glanced sharply at Dito. “The woman you praise has me, Dit!”


Hearing the words of Ricko who was not relaxed, the spontaneous smile disappeared. Dito looked towards his best friend. Sure enough, his eyes emitted a jealously lightning. “Woles, Bro. Don't have to gas. I'm not going to take it. Although I can.”


“Great confidence you, Dit, can take Arinda from me?!”


“Lu both can not fuss know themselves and the place! Focus on my sister dong!” sewot Zacky's.


Ricko and Dito fell silent.


“Adik? What does it mean?” ask Dini confused. All he knew was that Arinda was an only child.


“Entah, how to tell Arinda with her current condition?” Zacky confusion.


Early exhale relief. “This is good news. I am glad that Arinda still has a family. We'll let you know if he's calmer. If it is a bit difficult now. The shooting happened in plain sight. The boy seems to be still in shock.”


“Yes. Please let us know if Arinda can already be invited to speak carefully,” pinta Zacky.


“Sure.”


🌺🌺🌺


“Zack, why don't you take Arinda to a psychologist?” ask Dito.


Right now, the three of them are in Ricko's apartment.


Zacky exhaled a tired breath. “If it were that easy, Dit.”


“Wait! I spoke whatever Arinda did. Pas alluding about new wedding react.” Ricko looked at Zacky and Dito. “Did anyone bother his mind about it?”


Neither Dito nor Zacky knew what to answer. Because, it does not know for sure the contents of Arinda's head. So, they chose silence and just threw one another a glance.


🌺🌺🌺


After Dito and Zacky go home, Ricko chooses to go into the room. He laid himself on a king-size bed. Place both hands under the head as a cushion. Deep netra stared at the ceiling of the room.


A message in the green app reads. Turn your attention towards that flat object.


Ricko frowned looking at the contents of the message. A flight ticket to Bali for tomorrow morning at seven and a private villa.


Curious. Direct dial button pressed.


“Halo, Brother Shavic! What do these tickets and villas mean?”


🌺🌺🌺


Soekarno - Hatta Airport


Walk towards the plane seat. Sit right next to the window. Looked out seriously. To the point of not realizing someone had sat down next to him with a smile.


“Goodbye Jakarta.”


“Sunday meet in Bali. One of the best choices for Honeymoon. Isn't that right, my Bride Candidate?”


Arinda blinked at the sound of someone familiar beside her. Gets slow with the heart racing fast enough. Mimik was surprised with bulging eyes and a rounded terpatri mouth.


“RICKO!”


A smile bloomed on Ricko's lips. “Your groom-to-be is almost behind, Miss.”
