Aishah was always busy with her work. Lunch hours have passed. It didn't feel like it was time to go home from work. Aishah immediately packed her things to go home. After this, there was still a lot of work waiting for him. Aishah quickly headed to the parking lot to pick up his car. It turned out that in the parking lot, there was already someone waiting for Aishah's arrival. Aldi had been waiting for him in the car from some time ago even before the office hours arrived.
Aishah, who does not know if she has been awaited by Aldi, goes straight to her car and opens the door.
"Aish.." Suddenly Aldi's voice startled Aishah. Aishah who was already very memorized by the sound looked towards the source of the sound.
"Well, what's wrong with Mr Aldi?" Aishah bowed her head to Aldi politely.
"It's not Aish's working hours. Stop talking formally to me." Aldi laughed a little.
"But this is still in the office area sir. Let me continue to respect Mr. Aldi as my superior." Aishah persisted with his stance.
"Aish Aish, you are adorable. It's up to you, if that's what you want." Finally Aldi relented with Aishah's stubborn attitude that could not be contested anymore.
"Then what interest did Mr Aldi call me?" Aishah returned to the topic.
"I want to talk to you for a minute. I beg Aish, just for a moment. I promise it won't be long." Aldi was still trying to get Aishah to chat.
"Just talk here." Aishah quickly replied to Aldi.
"There is no way Aish, because soon the other employees will also be home. You don't see your car getting in their way." Aldi pointed towards Aishah's car with his head.
Aishah finally agrees to Aldi's request. They headed to a city park to chat. Aldi invited Aishah to sit on a bench located in the park. There is a long bench and two small benches, with a wooden table in the middle. Aishah and Aldi sat opposite to the wooden table as a barrier.
"We are not in the company anymore. Are you still stubborn to speak formally to me?" Aldi chuckles.
Looking at Aldi who was chuckling, Aishah shook his head.
If I may be honest, I actually miss your laugh a lot Di.
Aishah looked at Aldi for a while, then gave a small smile. For a moment, Aishah treated her longing by seeing Aldi's soothing laughter. Once upon a time for Aishah, Aldi's laughter was the cure of all the sadness that plagued him. Because Aldi always entertained Aishah, when Aishah was sad. And God also succeeded in making Aishah laugh.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Aishah made Aldi end his laughter. Then Aldi faced Aishah, to look into his eyes deeply.
"Why have you been avoiding me lately?" Aldi looked at Aishah with his marketing rass.
"I'm not avoiding you, I'm just busy." Aishah did not return Aldi's eyes to her. Aishah was indeed the least able to lie. If he was lying, surely he would try to hide his eyes from the person being spoken to.
"Oh yeah? Though I really miss the time with you first.I want us to be like before. You want to, right?" Aldi looked back into Aishah's eyes with a hopeful look.
"You mean?" Aishah was still confused by Aldi's words. Aishah did not want to misunderstand the meaning of Aldi's words.
"Can we be friends again like we used to be?" Aldi stared at the children not far from his seat playing on their bikes.
Oh friend. It might be okay if I agree to Aldi's request. As long as I can keep this feeling close. There is nothing wrong with being friends. Soon we will be brothers.
"We're still friends, right? I still think of you as my friend like I used to." Aishah tried to defend herself.
"But I feel, now you're starting to get away from me. You always try to keep your distance between us. What makes you do that to me?" Aldi was curious.
"Maybe it's just your feelings. But, maybe now we can't be as familiar as before." Aishah took a long breath.
"Why? Even now we actually know our feelings, right? Why can't we get close? Is it all because of Viola?" Aldi tried to guess what was the reason Aishah stayed away from him all this time.
"Maybe that's one of the reasons. But not only that." Aishah stopped her words. It is heavy to continue his words.
"Then?" Aldi was very curious.
"We weren't us eight years ago. We have each other's lives." Aishah tried to convince Aldi with his words.
"Why Aish? We all have our own lives, but we can still be together." Aldi laughed a little.
"Hmmm…." Aishah took a long breath.
"Now you have Doctor Viola Di. He loves you so much. If we're as close friends as we used to be, I don't want to make Doctor Viola hurt." Aishah tries to awaken Aldi to Doctor Viola's great feelings for him.
I cannot deny, Viola's love for me is indeed very big. Even I owe him so much. But this heart still has an owner, who can not be transferred ownership rights easily. Actually, I used to have sympathy for Viola. However, after Aishah's presence came back in my life, that sympathy was lost to nowhere, like being swallowed by the earth.
Aldi was silent, he was busy with his own thoughts. All of Aishah's words are true.
"But you know exactly how I feel about you all this time? My feelings for you remain the same as they were eight years ago, nothing has changed. I still love you so much Aish." Aldi looked at Aishah's eyes gently.
"Please Aldi don't say that. You can't say that to me. You'll hurt Doctor Viola if it's like that." Aishah shook her head, then narrowed her eyes.
"Is this really hard on our love? Is this how hard we are together?" Aldi Aishah with a pushy look.
"Aldi listen to my words. Instead, we bury our feelings deeply. You must learn to love Doctor Viola, the man who has loved you all this time." Aishah looked at the table in front of her. Aishah really could not look Aldi in the eyes at the moment.
"Aldi! I have to tell you how many more times. We can't be together." Aishah until irritated because Aldi who did not want to obey the words of Aishah.
"Why? why can't we be together? Viola and I are not husband and wife, so I still have the right to choose who will be my life partner." Aldi remained with his stance.
These two human children who are in love but cannot be together remain strong with their respective positions.
"Not just because of Doctor Viola Di. But because there are so many things that make us have to walk in each other's way." Aishah looked gently at Aldi's eyes.
"All right, now explain all that to me. I need an explanation from you right now." Aldi challenged Aishah.
"Listen to me carefully." Aishah looked at Aldi with annoyance.
"I'll listen very well." Aldi put his ears near Aishah's face.
"First, of course, because you already have Doctor Viola, who will soon be your life partner." Aishah looked at Aldi.
"But…." Aldi's words came to a halt as he was being held back by Aishah.
"Eits wait a minute, listen to my explanation first." Aishah put on her haunted face.
"All right, sorry.." Aldi put his face on the table.
"Secondly, Aryo and Alya are getting married soon. And we will be brothers because of it. So according to my family, we can't be together, because we're brothers." Aishah made her words clear.
"Why is that not….." Aldi's words stopped again because he was detained by Aishah.
"Don't interrupt! Let me finish my words first." Aishah glared at Aldi.
"Alright." Aldi raised both his hands.
"Then the third one, my status has changed. I don't deserve you anymore. You deserve a much better woman than me." Aishah lowered her head. He felt very sad about his love story that had to run aground.
"All your reasons don't make sense Aish. We can definitely get through it all. That's just your reason for me to stay with Doctor Viola, right?" Aldi did not want to believe Aishah's words
"Alright if you're still stubborn. I'd be honest if I already had someone I loved. I don't love you anymore! My heart already has." Aishah is really frustrated at the moment. He no longer knew what to say, so that Aldi would listen to his words. Finally he used his last move to stop the stubborn Aldi.
"What! You must be lying to me right now, right?" Aldi smiled bitterly.
Aishah smiled then shook her head. He tried to look serious, so that Aldi believed his words.
"Can't Aish, who do you love?" Aldi tries to prove Aishah's lies. Now Aldi's feelings are getting worse. In fact, she was afraid that Aishah would really love someone else.
Meanwhile, Aishah herself is confused as to what to answer. Because he was just talking, so that Aldi believed in him and decided to stay away from him. Now Aishah was even confused by his own words. Aishah kept turning her brain to find the right name to answer Aldi's question. However, it is not easy to just say one name. Because surely Aldi will ask for proof of Aishah's answer.
"Let's say Aish, who is the man you love?" Aldi was very curious.
Aishah was still silent, her brain now felt to stop thinking. He couldn't find a proper name.
I had to answer one man's name for Aldi to truly believe. But who? Even I myself do not know who I love besides Aldi at this time. It is impossible if I say Brother Radit, since we are officially divorced, Aldi would definitely not believe it.
"Doctor Dariel." Suddenly one name came out of Aishah's mouth. Aishah reflexively said Doctor Dariel's name.
I'm sorry Doctor Dariel, I don't know who else to say. Hope you're not angry with me.
Aishah closed her eyes for a while, then tried to act ordinary in front of Aldi.
"You mean the doctor who worked with Viola." Aldi tried to remember who Dr. Dariel was.
"true." Aishah looked up at the sky. It was almost dark. It did not feel like his meeting with Aldi took a long time. Aishah forgot about time. Aldi said he only talked for a moment. They had been talking in the park for a long time.
"It's late in the afternoon, I have to go home soon." Aishah stood up from her seat.
Aldi looked at himself. He was silent, it seemed like there was something heavy that was interfering with his mind. Aldi daydreams himself. However, it soon came to a realization because Aishah suddenly got up from her seat.
"I have to go home first. I'm first yeah!" Aishah passed away leaving Aldi who was still sitting alone on the park bench.
Aldi felt sad, suddenly he felt that something was missing from his life. The feeling that he had been feeling for so long turned out to be just futile. Aldi did not expect that Aishah would easily love others. Though Aldi was happy because in his mind, Aishah still loves him. It turns out that it was all wrong, Aishah already loved someone else.
Is that true what Aishah said? Is it that easy for Aish's heart to turn? Why is it so hard for my heart to accept it. It seems like this is just some subterfuge Aishah made for me to stay away from her. But why should Dr Dariel? The doctor Viola often told about his kindness.
Aldi continued to mutter in his heart. His mind is now worried thinking about the words of Aishah that is between the truth or not all the words of Aishah. Not felt, the sun has returned to the dispute. The sun has sunk carrying all its rays. While Aldi was still pensive to think about Aishah's words that hit his heart.
With a gontai step, Aldi walked towards his car. Aldi decided to go home because the day started at night.
