When Dimas was in the middle of his master's education in the Lion Country, when Saturday nights were like this, they always made video calls until midnight.
However, this time, on this Saturday night, Kalila cried as much as she pleased all night. Spilling feelings. Not only pain, but also regret and fear. Kalila was really afraid that Dimas would avoid her for good.
Kalila was used to living life with Dimas in her days. How could he continue the day without any Dimas on the side?
Kalila was really scared.
Heart hurts.
He felt sorry for disappointing Dimas.
Kalila missed that guy. The man who was always there for her. A man who always accompanies his beautiful days. A man who is willing to do anything for his happiness.
“Bang Dim ... Forgive Lila.”
Those were the only words spoken on the sidelines of Kalila's cries.
Kalila purposely hid her tears from Khalid. The girl didn't want Khalid to think that it was Dimas who made her brother cry all night.
Before dawn, Kalila had taken a bath and was waiting for dawn in her room. The girl did not go out for breakfast and lunch. The work that piled up, became the reason for Kalila because he did not leave the room.
Ms. Alinah, who understood the shock of her youngest child, brought Kalila's lunch to her room. However, Kalila had just touched her food, when the sun had already slipped to the western horizon. Even so, Kalila only touched the food a little. Throughout the day, Kalila was busy compressing her eyes that looked puffy.
***
Kalila, who still could not master her grief, decided not to work today. The plan, the girl will ask permission directly to Ibrahim. However, unlike the last two days, today Ibrahim did not come to pick him up.
In fact, Ibrahim also did not give any news about it before. Because last Friday, Ibrahim also promised to pick him up and leave together to the office, on Monday.
Kalila called the man's phone. But I also didn't get an answer. If Kalila worked today, of course she would be late to the office, because too long awaits Ibrahim.
Kalila sent a short message to Ibrahim. Reporting if he is not in a fit condition to work. Kalila also sent the same message to Indra—asisten Ibrahim.
Before long, Indra also replied to a message from Kalila. But Ibrahim, until noon, the man did not reply to Kalila's message. In fact, until night, Ibrahim only read the message and did not reply to it. But Kalila did not want to bother with the man's attitude. Kalila assumed, if Ibrahim must be busy, to forget to reply to his message.
But the truth is, Ibrahim has got an answer from Anneke.
That day, when Kalila was busy compressing her eyes because she was sad by the disappearance of Dimas from her life. Ibrahim was waiting for the presence of a woman in the same place, the last time they met.
The woman arrived with a waiter who was carrying two glasses of warm drinks, because the city of Bogor was flooded with heavy rain— at that time.
“Sorry, because I gave the decision a long time ago,” said the girl started the conversation. Ibrahim nodded, a faint smile decorating that handsome face.
Anneke told me about her having to persuade her mother who had misunderstood. “But, Kalila who was in a relationship with cousin Akang, that's right?”
Silently for a moment, Ibrahim then nodded slowly. “They are close. And it has also been a long time,” replied Ibrahim. Ibrahim did not lie, because Kalila and Dimas were very close. Even himself, did not like the closeness that occurred between Dimas and Kalila.
“Akang also has no feelings for Kalila, right?”
Ibrahim simply replied with a nod of his head. But, if Anneke looked into the man's eyes more closely, of course Anneke would see doubt there. Ibrahim was confused by his own feelings. Because actually, Ibrahim also wanted Kalila. But if you have to choose between the two girls. Of course he would choose Anneke.
Anneke graduated from a foreign university like herself. Anneke also graduated summa cumlaude, just like her. Anneke also came from a distinguished family, just like her.
No matter how special Kalila was, no matter how pleasant the girl was, her first love was still not comparable to Anneke.
“Then you agree that our engagement will be held in three weeks?” Anneke nodded. Ibrahim's lips curled up to form a smile. Anneke finally accepted her proposal. And in a moment, the girl he had admired all along, would be his.
***
Since Anneke received her proposal, Ibrahim no longer invited Kalila to go to work together or deliver the girl after work.
But Kalila did not bother at all with the attitude of Ibrahim who suddenly changed. Kalila was having her day as usual. For these two weeks, all that was on the girl's mind was Dimas.
How's the guy doing?
Is he healthy?
Is his work there good?
Did Dimas remember it for a moment?
Or, could it be that the man had already forgotten himself?
Several times Kalila visited Bu Ghita's residence just to ask Dimas for news. Usually Bu Ghita will show you the latest Dimas photos. Kalila just smiled every time she looked at the portrait of Dimas.
What matters is that the man looks healthy.
Kalila really misses that guy. The man who promised to be a friend forever.
Since being left behind by Dimas, Kalila has difficulty eating and difficulty sleeping. The girl fell asleep after midnight. Kalila also always forgets about breakfast and dinner. If it was eating, the girl only took in small portions. No wonder if in two weeks, Kalila lost her weight. The girl looked thinner than usual.
And two weeks after Dimas' departure, Kalila got two news stories that made her quite surprised. Harry submitted his resignation letter.
“You two conspired to leave me, didn't you?!” kalila asked, when Harry told him he would resign from the company and work with Dimas on the island of the Gods.
“Actually, I also asked Dimas, why did he not invite you to participate in this project? But, said Dimas, you've found your happiness here.”
Kalila was very understanding about the happiness that Dimas meant. Ibrahimian. It must be about Ibrahim. If only Dimas knew, if Ibrahim was no longer friendly to him. If only Dimas knew, if it had been two weeks he did not greet the man.
If Dimas knew all that, would Dimas offer him the job?
Kalila took a long breath. The girl only left her a greeting, if Harry called Dimas.
And the second news that Kalila received, really made the girl surprised. Not only Kalila, even Harry, and the entire staff of the design and planning division were shocked by the news of Ibrahim's engagement with Anneke.
“Bang Dimas ...”
It was the last sentence that came from Kalila's tiny lips, before the girl fell unconscious.
