Black Wedding Stains

A Short Story of Dinda's Life

"I don't know either, Sir. At that time I had savings for my future living expenses with my own hard work. After I bought someone and asked him to stay with me in the rented house. Where all my living expenses are bearing it all, until she can get a job."

"All that, because I can feel how hard it is to live on the streets without family. I wonder why my friend betrayed me. He took all my income during this time, then took it away. Not to forget he also left me with his loan debt on an application. I was surprised when someone charged into the contract and gave me a large bill, where he used my ID to borrow money for his needs."

"That's where my life, which was initially stable, is now back in ruins. I have to pay off a debt that I did not borrow at all. So I can't pay a few months' rent to pay for all that and for my daily needs."

"What's more when I resigned, I didn't get the slightest severance from the fruits of my years of hard work there. He said if the severance and my salary for a month was as a repayment of the debt I borrowed by repaying each payday to pay off the online loan."

"I hope, with me the cooperation of Master my life will improve, but dear. When I contacted Sir, Mister instead said so. Yes, my life is getting ruined and hanging like this. I was kicked out by the landlord, and at any time if I meet him again then I have to pay off the debt, otherwise my life will not be calm."

Dinda recounted all of that while holding back her tears with a smile that she carved out slowly. It was obvious what if Dinda was holding the sadness in her heart by covering it very tightly.

Ernest alone who heard that fleeting story, made his heart feel annoyed. Because, what Dinda told him was almost similar to the story that Ernest felt.

If Dinda is betrayed by the person she helped, Ernest is the same. He was betrayed by a friend and assistant of the Company who he considered as his own brother.

Just as Ernest wanted to say something, a servant came over while carrying the order of the two of them carefully. He put the food according to the menu they ordered, smiling and then slightly bowing his body.

"Please, Sir, Madam. Enjoy the dish, may the Master and Madam like the taste in this Restaurant. I say, if there is something in need, please call us back. Thank you," said the waiter with a smile on his lips to give the best value to the waiter at the restaurant.

After the servant left, Ernest immediately told Dinda to finish her food first. Then they will return to talk about the unfinished conversation.

Dinda could only smile clumsily, then eat her food slowly. One mouthful entered his mouth, making Dinda feel the taste of fried rice that was different from usual he made every time.

The combination of spice blends and seafood in the fried rice, managed to make Dinda's tongue shake. He had only eaten for the first time in a place like this, so was a little surprised at the taste he was enjoying right now.

Honestly, Dinda really wants to eat food like Ernest. It's just that he was embarrassed and a little confused due to the way of eating that Dinda did not know. He was confused about how to cut the meat using a fork and also a small knife.

However, when he saw Ernest eating voraciously without any difficulty to cut him off. Making Dinda start to feel confident, it seemed like she could eat what Ernest showed.

Ernest tried to catch a glimpse of Dinda as she continued to look at him. However, the way to see Dinda like that, even wrongly interpreted by Ernest. He thought Dinda was watching his face, but in fact Dinda just wanted to know how to eat steak properly.

"Pardon me, sir. I-I didn't mean it that way. I promise I won't look at you again" said Dinda, nervous.

Both of his hands trembled slightly as he got a scolding from Ernest. Now, Dinda again ate in a lowered state without even turning her head towards Ernest. While Ernest, eating occasionally saw Dinda's very strange behavior.

After they finished eating, Ernest again continued the speaker who had been delayed. Where Dinda's position is still in a down state while playing her shirt, like a child who was angry by his parents.

"Hhhhh ...." Ernest exhaled his breath violently. Dinda remained silent, she was only afraid of getting her anger back what if she dared to look at him.

"Bless your head! And act like you always do, understand!" Ernest's Word.

His voice suddenly made Dinda surprised and lamgsung usually looked at Ernest in a state of hands had started to sweat cold.

"Me-understand, Master!" exclaim Dinda.

Ernest nodded his head then, again continuing their delayed chatter. Ernest gives a job that makes Dinda's heart almost jump out of place.

Dinda did not expect, if Ernest could give such a job to him. Obviously they were close because Ernest helped Dinda, but now even Dinda got a pretty surprising offer.
