DINDA'S REGRETS

Episode 123

A bright morning illuminates the entire universe. Looks like Toni was already in the dining room with her disheveled face.

Dinda saw him feeling pity. He believes that Toni is sad as she is. It was clear that the black circumference in Toni's eyes was the same as Dinda's, only that Dinda's eyes had been disguised by foundation.

"By the big brother." said Dinda kindly but that look of the eye implied pain.

Toni frowned feeling astonished with Dinda's attitude why not get angry again. The eyes of both of them clashing together implied a wound.

"I'm sorry, brother Din.."

Dinda smiled forced. He behaved like this because he did not want Toni to suspect that he would leave her even though it was very heavy.

"Don't talk about it anymore." Dinda turned her face away because her eyes were already heating up.

Toni hugged Dinda. He knew that Dinda was just pretending.

"Sister's law if it makes you forgive brother dear. But don't pretend everything's okay. I'm sorry brother."

Dinda shook her head in Toni's chest, unable to hide her sadness to her beloved husband.

Is it true I can leave Toni's sister? why am I being selfish? isn't my past just as bad as Toni's?

"Don't cry, baby." Toni stroked Dinda's hair.

"Sorry sister." said Dinda in her tears.

Sorry if Dinda left sister. Mother.. Why does this hurt so much..

"The wrong brother, baby.. The sign was made by Merry but the brother did nothing. I swear to you."

Dinda looked up again after hearing her husband's confession.

"Really?"

Toni nodded."Right darling. Sit down and let brother tell me."

Dinda sat down to listen to Toni's explanation.

FLASHBACKS

Arriving at the lobby, someone called his name.

"Toni."

Toni stopped her steps without turning her head towards the source of the sound because she recognized the sound. He was the one he was looking for because he had damaged the relationship between him and his wife. Yes, that woman is Merry.

"We're talking in my room." Toni said.

Toni walks to the elevator following Merry. He did not care at all for Merry standing next door looking at him so intensely. In Toni's heart and mind right now it's just Dinda and baby El. He did not want to lose Dinda.

Ting

The elevator door opened as soon as Toni stepped into her study. Being in one room with Merry was so uncomfortable.

He lets Merry sit on the couch and he sits on a single sofa opposite him. "Tell me your purpose now what's coming into my office." said Toni.

"I just want to apologize Ton."

Toni was dumbfounded at the apology and Merry cried? Did ya?

"I just want to make peace with my life. I hope you don't bother my family anymore." Toni told me to try as formal as possible.

Merry nodded while sobbing.

"I promise I won't bother you again Ton."

"alright. I think it's enough to get here to our meeting. I hope never to see me again." Toni stood towards her grand table.

"May I hug you one last time Ton?"

Toni just shut up. There was a sense of pity to see Merry cry like that. But he also has to keep Dinda's feelings even if there is no side.

But Merry still hugged Toni very tightly without reply by Toni. Merry grinned then did his plan.

"What the hell are you Merry." snapped Toni as she realized what Merry was doing to her.

"I miss you Ton."

"Go." snaps Toni again.

Merry just left. He was satisfied that his initial plan worked.

One more step then you will be mine and I will be queen Toni Sanjaya.

FLASHBACK OFF

"So that's how it is, baby. I'm sorry brother."

Dinda hears Toni's explanation feeling hesitant to leave her. Aware of selfishness to Toni he immediately embraced Toni.

"Sorry."

"The wrong brother. Now we go to yuk's room." take Toni.

Dinda took off a hug while asking. "Why are you brother?"

"I want you." whispered Toni.

"Kc.. Basic pervert. Brother's going to the office." Dinda did not think why Toni was so perverted to him.

"Anytime, baby. There's still 1 hour left." woo Toni because she wants Dinda so much right now.

"It's only once, yeah.."

Toni nodded then held Dinda ala bridal style with Dinda's hands coiled around Toni's neck.

I hope the story ends happily, brother, without a third person.

****

An hour later.

Dinda and Toni go down the stairs in neat clothes.

"So, I'm not leaving.."

"No breakfast first, brother?"

"So, I had breakfast." Toni glanced at his eyes.

Both of them laughed. "Basic bawdy." said Dinda after her second laugh subsided.

Toni kisses her forehead and lips. A habit of Toni when she was about to go to work.

"Be careful, brother.." Dinda kissed Toni's back hand.

At the sight of Toni's car already darted into the highway. He breathed deeply. He felt more and more guilty thinking about leaving Toni.

Dinda steps towards the back house where baby El is brought to play Maya and Zaki.

While in the back house it turns out baby El, Maya, Zaki, and Bi Jubaidah are in the middle room.

"Hi El.." greeting Dinda to her only child.

Zaki clucked bitterly because he knew what had happened this morning between Dinda and Toni.

"Halaahhhhhhhhh.. Night cry want to run away, morning e na-e na want aja." said Zaki.

"Abang. iihh don't do that." Whine Dinda on Zaki.

"May make a decision don't be rash if it's emotion."

"Yes bang.. Why are you so gini?" dinda's Protest on Zaki.

"Because you're in the habit that there's a direct problem in your brain, it's blurred on." Zaki scolded him while pinching Dinda's head.

Bi Jubaidah and Maya feel bad for Dinda for Zaki's treatment because Dinda is their employer.

Dinda grimaced as she stroked the head where Zaki had clocked her earlier.

"Sick bang.." Dinda nodded and put her lips together.

"Sense. Who told me to make me stay up late to clean my clothes."

"Where is Zaki going?" it wasn't Dinda who asked but Maya who asked.

Bi Jubaidah also looked at Zaki and Dinda as if asking.

"When you run away with Dinda take El."

"What's? Don't tell me Zaki has a relationship with Madame Dinda too." Maya's face turns sad.

"I'm sorry sister Maya.. I-"

"Maya was disappointed with Zaki. He said he no longer had a girlfriend. But now we're in touch with our employer" Maya interrupts Dinda's remarks.

Dinda and Zaki and Bi Jubaidah gawked at Maya's speech. Bi Jubaidah looked back at Dinda and Zaki intensely probing and suspicious.

"No way to sus. Sister misunderstood. Last night Dinda fought with brother Toni so want to run away because Dinda misunderstood. Merry's mom trapped Toni's sister again."

"I'll come with Zaki when I go."

"You can come along if you two get married" Bi Jubaidah told Zaki and Maya.

****

"I'm looking for Dinda Larasati. Does he exist?" ask someone at the housekeeper.

"Who's the lady?"

"I'm Dinda's lecturer."

With confidence the housekeeper opened the fence for someone.Merry.

Merry walked over and entered Dinda's house without being invited. He looked at the two-story house.

Soon it will be mine. This house and all of Toni's possessions will be mine.

****

Mr. Amat the gardener saw the guest of the hostess entering just like that in an empty house because he saw Dinda coming into the back house rushing towards the back house to tell Dinda.

Arrived at the back house. He approached Dinda laughing.

"Sorry Madam."

Dinda stopped laughing. "Ah yes sir." replied Dinda when she found out her gardener was calling.

"Anu Madam, there's a guest looking for Madam."

"Who Sir?"

"Says the Madam. He's in the living room."

"Merry. What's he doing here?"

Dinda headed to the living room. Zaki and the others follow in fear that Dinda will be harmed by Merry.

"Hi Dinda." Greet Merry when she is in the living room.
