"Love is subjective, therefore I choose to be objective..."

Saturday at 10am.
Rima sat in the dining room, playing her coffee mug. His gaze was blank, one hand propping up his chin.
"Mdaddy's school?"
Rima was silent.
"Mak woi, don't daydream."
Hanif patted Rima's shoulder.
"Eh what is Nif?"
"Mbak Rima ga ngajar? A holiday?"
Hanif repeated his question.
"Eh yes Nif holiday, out of PTS."
"Mbak Rima is already neat in the morning? Go with Tyo."
"Engga,"
"Continue?"
"There's a promise to someone,"
"Ciee somebody, you're almost married. Do not maen fire, the fire of the world is hot let alone the fire of hell. But I don't know if the fire of my love goes out."
Rima laughed throwing a tissue towards Hanif who was also blown away.
"Nif, mbak anterin yes."
"Where?"
"Ke restaurant mbak Yuanita, Green Barn restaurant."
"Aren't you the same as Tyo?"
"That's right, it's not okay to be alone."
"Well, did you meet someone like this and what? Did you know already?!"
"Cerewet is also Hanif, mas Tyo already knows. I'm not alone and there's Yuanita's nemenin."
"It's a security problem, Rima, I have to crew."
Rima laughed, quite amused by the behavior of her only sister. She smiled at the conversation.
"Do you want to get involved?"
"Yes yes, but Hanif can't take long. You see, Hanif has to go to the hospital at 11, but how does Rima go home?"
"Easy, naek a taxi online only. You're in the hospital until what time?"
Hanif is indeed undergoing a co-*** period in a public hospital. He's a final-level medical student.
"Ga tau mbak, malem maybe."
"Yes, he's gone home by himself."
Before long Hanif hugged Rima towards Yuanita's restaurant.
Flashbacks
After a long conversation with Tyo, Rima agrees to meet Adhi. Tyo asks her to meet Adhi at Yuanita's restaurant. Yuanita also agrees to accompany Rima, as Rima insists on not being alone with Adhi.
Rima's memory returned at her meeting with Tyo a few days ago. When Tyo asks if Rima loves him and Rima just falls silent.
"Yes, you met Adhi first Rim,"
"I don't want to be alone, mas,"
"Meet in a crowded place, ask your friend to nemenin. Or at Bu Yuan's restaurant. You know him well."
Rima nodded. They then fell silent.
"Bag,"
"Rome,"
The two of them deliberately started talking together.
"You were Rim, what did you say?"
Tyo smilingly looked at Rima who was looking at him at a glance.
"I'm sorry,"
Rima bit her lip. Tyo was still silently trying to digest what Rima said. Sorry for what? But Tyo did not want to ask, he was too afraid of receiving answers that he did not want to hear.
"Oh yeah, I went back first. Same with Rim's mom."
Flashback off

Green Barn Resto, 10:20
"Rim, are you sure you want to marry Tyo? He doesn't pantes for you Rim, doesn't fit. She's a widower, and you've never been married. The age difference is also far away. I'm also sure you don't love him Rim."
Adhi looked at Rima who just looked down, it was still warm that morning. The sky was blue interspersed with several pieces of white clouds. There is a wind from the rice field area, approaching Adhi and Rima who sit on a rattan chair in the outdoor restaurant area.
"Certainly? Anything else you want to talk about, Dhi?"
"We'll fit better with Rim. I've known you for a long time, I know how you are. You are also the same, it will be easier for us to build a household. If you don't love me yet, I'm sure I can slowly make you love me."
Adhi was still full of emotions, there were a few sweat spots on his forehead.
"You think getting married is just a love affair??"
"I thought you were gonna say Rim, but not just about love.."
"Trus do you think getting married should be with a long-known person, should it be a matching one??"
Adhi looked at Rima again.
"Yes dong, the widower is married to a widow. You are not a widow."
Now Rima looked back at Adhi sharply. His hand grips. He was disappointed because Adhi's thinking turned out to be so narrow. Another event occurred when Adhi stated that he wanted to propose to her. Adhi's childlike reaction makes Rima's love suddenly fade. His mother was right, Tyo was indeed much more mature.
"Marriage is not a dichotomy. You can't be single married to single or widower to widow."
"Trus what do you think marriage is? Rim, we're compatible, I promise I've changed Rim. I realized I've made a big mistake."
"Married is like riding an ark. Husband and wife headed in the same direction, rowing with the same technique, perfecting their ark together."
"OK.oke.I get it. Then let go of Tyo Rim."
"You don't know Dhi?!"
"Otherwise Rim? Tyo has promised your freedom to choose right, he asked me to come alone and nanya to you. That means he's not serious about you."
"You're wrong Dhi! Mas Tyo let me see you because he believed me. He gave me a chance to make a choice. Even though I have been really close to my choice. And you were never my choice, Dhi."
Adhi was surprised to hear Rima's reply. How could Rima not choose him?! Wasn't he the one who knew Rima first. Tyo was just an intruder who was suddenly present in Rima's life.
"Rim, what's so great about Tyo?! Rich? I'm also rich Rim, you want to ask me if I'll do it. He has a garden, just as I have, what?! A home? A car? Mapan job?! What does Tyo have anyway?!"
Adhi raised her voice, she was disappointed.
"It was precisely Dhi, mas Tyo had everything I needed, and we had one mission in common, changed for the better. It doesn't change when everything is wrong. Never mind Dhi, I don't want to argue anymore. I don't want to hurt you either."
Adhi felt stupefied, Rima's words insinuated him.
"Ck.I'm surprised by your decision Rim. Choose someone much older, a widower. Rich stock guys are over. Can you be happy with him? Think about Rim again."
"Happy or not is a risk that I'm ready to bear, so you don't need to be confused with my happiness anymore."
Rima looked at Adhi furiously. He was disappointed with everything Adhi said. Had Adhi been more mature, Rima would have had more respect for her.
Yuanita saw all of that from a fairly close distance. He saluted with Rima's firmness. He secretly hoped that Yulia could be as firm as Rima, so that her household and life were not as chaotic as it is today. Without Rima telling her any story, Yuanita could already guess what happened. But he can't do anything to fix everything.
"Sir, I'm back."
"Eh yes Rim, what's up?"
Yuanita gasped as Rima was already standing nearby.
"Taxi onlen ride on mbak,"
"Well, someone's waiting."
Yuanita pointed at someone standing in the doorway. Thou smiled at Rima.
Rima looked down embarrassed, her lips were now smiling. Her heart was pounding happy to see Tyo.
"Ga ah mbak, then even tandem. You go home everywhere."
"Cieee the kasmaran."
"Oh, um Yuan,"
They sniff together.
🌷🌷🌷
"Hey, already?"
"Already,"
Rima nodded in reply to Tyo.
"You're being driven home or...?"
"Taksol's okay, mas,"
Adhi suddenly appeared behind Tyo. Rima looks worried.
"Happy you won! Look out for Rima sad, I make the calculations!"
Adhi immediately stepped out, not looking anymore.
Thank you for the appreciation 💐💐
