BRIPDA MAHMUD'S 30-DAY GIRLFRIEND

Chapters 1. The Beginning of the Meeting

"Good morning" said a greeting from someone outside the personnel room, along with the sound of knocking on the door, "tok tok!" 

Dinda who was sitting facing her desk with a pile of work report files, spontaneously raised her head and turned to the right, which is the direction the sound source came from, while answering, "Please come in!"

After the door of the room opened, two handsome policemen appeared. The two policemen walked towards Dinda.

Dinda stood up and smiled to greet him, while replying, "Good morning, sir!"

"Let's sit down!" Dinda invited by pointing the two chairs across from her desk by opening her right palm and sticking it forward as a gesture.

"We want to report and hand over the Letter of Duty, Mom," replied one of the policemen, handing over a brown envelope after sitting down.

Dinda received the envelope and opened the two policemen's Tasks sheet after sheet.

From there Dinda found out what the names of the two policemen were. BRIPTU ANDI AND BRIPDA MAHMUD.

Then Dinda explained the tasks that the company had given to the two policemen during their stint.

Without Dinda noticing, Mahmud picked up the paper in the trash can to the right of Dinda's desk, and wrote a piece of the sentence on the paper, before Mahmud stood up to leave Dinda's room, he put the paper on top of Dinda's book.

He opened the paper from Mahmud, written in capital letters and read by Dinda, 

"I WANT TO BE CLOSE TO YOU"

Dinda looked at Mahmud's departure,

"It's unclear!" Inner Dinda. 

Mahmoud turned to look at Dinda. Making them look at each other with Mahmud's gaze that can not be understood by Dinda.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, with a carefree heart as if without burden, Dinda went home from work. Arriving in front of the polyclinic, Mahmud called out while coming out of the polyclinic, "Mbak Dinda!"

Spontaneous Dinda stopped and looked for the source of the sound. 

"Come here first!" Mahmud approached and forced Dinda by pulling Dinda's arm into the polyclinic.

Dinda followed with a bit of confusion.

"What's wrong?" Ask Dinda.

After sitting next to each other in a long chair in a polyclinic, 

"Include! I'm Mahmud. I will be here for a month. And said Mr. Chairman earlier, one of my duties is to be a guard mbak Dinda when working directly in the field. So, before I do my job, it would be nice to get to know Dinda first." Mahmud said confidently.

"But get acquainted in the office" replied Dinda objected to Mahmud's request.

"Knowing in more detail isn't forbidden, is it?" Pinta Mahmoud's.

"But I have activities this afternoon, sir." Elak Dinda's.

"Not for long, just a minute. Can ya?" Pinta Mahmud with a hearty.

Because it was not hearty and heartless, Dinda finally agreed.

Mantri, who was sitting behind her desk, went to the back room. It was as if giving Mahmud and Dinda a chance to talk.

"We got to know first, ma'am. I want to know more about Dinda." Mahmud said as he grabbed Dinda's right palm forcing him to shake his hand.

Dinda was surprised by Mahmud's aggressiveness.

"My name is Mahmud" Mahmud introduces himself with a funny mimic, making Dinda cover her mouth with her left palm to hide her smile, while replying to Mahmud by introducing herself as well.

 "Minda." Dinda Sahut.

Then Dinda tried to pull his hand which was still in the firm grip of Mahmud's hand.

"How old is it?" Mahmud asked without taking his hand.

"Twenty." Dinda answered while looking at her hand that had not been removed by Mahmud.

"My life is twenty-five years. Means our age gap is not far," Mahmud replied without Dinda asking questions.

"Please, Dinda, don't be angry! I don't know why I want to get to know more details and want to be close to Dinda." Mahmud looked at Dinda's eyes.

"That means?!" Dinda asked sharply and a full-eyed glance at Mahmud.

Mahmud held back a laugh at Dinda's playful expression.

"Don't be angry first, ma'am, uh. Ma'am.. uh Bu Dinda," said Mahmud.

Dinda stood up, wanting to leave Mahmud.

Mahmud immediately stood up and approached Dinda, as if he did not want his rabbit to jump away.

"Where." Dinda who does not dispute his call to him. Everyone called him by name.

"Have you heard the saying, right? Don't know then don't you, baby?" Ask Mahmud

"Yes, but let go of my hand!" Pinta Dinda's.

"But it must be a promise not to leave or run before we're done getting acquainted!"

"Introduction of the macaques!" Inner Dinda.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer the spoken Dinda.

Slowly Mahmud took off his grip, but still scrambled to hold the hand again if Dinda tried to leave.

"What is Dinda's hobby?" Mahmud asked as he looked closely at Dinda.

"What yes? maybe read and write," replied Dinda quietly. In accordance with his meek temperament.

"In sports, what is your hobby? What about playing volleyball, ma'am?"

Mahmud thinks Dinda likes to play volleyball, because almost all women in the company complex like to play volleyball. 

Mahmud thinks Dinda also likes to play volleyball, so later every afternoon can play volleyball together. 

"I can't play volleyball." Answer Dinda briefly.

"I taught ya."

"No ah!"

"Oh yeah, how tall is Dinda?"

"162 centimeters."  Answer Dinda.

"Cooking? So we're only 5 centimeters different?" Mahmud looked at Dinda with a disbelieving expression.

"Now let me measure!" Mahmud directly guided Dinda to the height measurement without waiting for approval from Dinda.

Will resist, Dinda lost strongly to Mahmud. Finally, he was forced to follow Mahmud's will.

After knowing the height according to what Dinda said, 

"It turns out that Dinda is tall too, yes," Mahmud said later.

"Now measure weight!" Mahmud said while pulling Dinda to where the scales were placed.

Dinda said without protest.

"54 kilograms." Dinda and Mahmud.

After Dinda got off the scales, replace Mahmud who went up to find out the weight. 

"I'm 70 pounds, mbak Dinda."

Dinda looked at the scales.

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Dinda.

"That means I am strong to carry.." Mahmud stopped his words, and continued with a head gesture only.

"Believe" said Dinda.

"Come now I'm tensi!" Mahmud pulls Dinda to Mantri's desk. 

Dinda was forced to follow Mahmud's will. Because to reason however likely is useless.

Mahmud sat in Mantri's chair, and Dinda sat in the patient's chair. They sat facing only the table as a barrier.

"The softness of your hand mbak Din," Mahmud spontaneously commented unintentionally, in accordance with what he felt.

"What the hell," Dinda tried to pull his hand that had been held by Mahmud to be installed tension device. But it's futile.

"Patients should go along with Mantri." Mahmud.

"I'm not a patient!" Dinda answered while cutting her lips.

"Seeing lips like that makes me want to" Mahmud said.

"Don't fuck around!" Dinda glared her eyes.

Making Mahmud unable to hold his laughter, can provoke Dinda's emotions that he thinks are very funny.
