After hearing Zevin's request. Erik drove his car at an average speed. His eyes were fixed on the roadside fruit ice seller, he saw a watch on his wrist. It was lunchtime he thought, he reached into his cell phone and pressed Della's name there.
"Yes Rik, what's wrong?"
"Have lunch ?" Ask Erik. He stopped his car on the side of the road.
"Never, now would like to have lunch with Maura, Dias and Jo."
"Wait there I'll pick you up." Erik turned off the phone unilaterally. He drove his car because it was halfway in just thirty minutes Erik arrived there.
"Erik, would you like to join lunch?" Ask Dias. They accidentally wait for Erik in the office yard, after Della says that Erik will come.
"Yes, I want to take Della to lunch." Erik. Sometimes his gaze was fixed on Maura who was just silent beside Jo.
"Well, do you want to join us or alone ?" Ask Dias again. Before they get in the car.
"Join it." Della Sahut. Replied Erik's nod.
Jo immediately opened the car door for Dias and Maura. Behind them Erik and Della one car. On Maura's journey just staring out the window, Dias glanced from her windshield.
He also felt what Maura was feeling right now. " Maura, are you okay?" Dias's question filled the silence of the three of them.
"certain." Maura smiled faintly. "What about yourself?" The reply.
"Just like you, I'm trying to be okay. Even though it's not okay inside ! "Dias heaved a heavy sigh touching his own chest.
"What's wrong with you guys? Do we need to go to the hospital." Ask Jo plainly without knowing anything.
Dias and Maura laughed together "Little children won't understand?" Cibir Dias with a mocking smile.
"Don't underestimate me, this is how I'm the idol of women in my school." Jo said proudly.
The two cars stopped in the courtyard of a small restaurant and the lesehan that Erik saw earlier. It's not far from where people sell ice cream and fruit ice.
"We're eating here, it's okay, right?" Ask Erik. His eyes were fixed on Dias and Jo.
"It's okay. Anywhere that matters is clean and tasty." Sahut Jo's.
"You go in, just order me there's a minute's worth." Erik asked his friends to come in first. While he went to the ice cream vendor.
Waiting for food orders to arrive. Erik came in with a few cups of ice cream, before long a middle-aged man walked in delivering a few cups of fruit ice.
"Thank you, sir." Erik.
"Together, Son."
Dias and Jo immediately grabbed the ice cream and spooned it into their mouths. "You buy a lot of ice." Dias Seru.
"Cuacia's blazing. I'm thirsty too." Erik answered while opening a fruit ice cup for Della.
"Why Della do you love ice?" Ask Jo wonder. Because they all took ice cream cups.
Erik smiled very thinly and then said. " Because Della prefers fruit ice to ice cream."
Maura's heart was again squeezed, as the visible wound was scraping back on the tender flesh within her body.
You know a lot about Della apparently, now I'm more sure to melt this feeling.
He looked at the ice cream cup in his hand.
"Why are you, Maura ?" Della asked while enjoying the ice.
"I'm feeling the coldness of this ice cream." Maura smiled. Trying to cover up the feelings that are distracting him at this time.
"You don't like ice?" Ask Della again because her best friend chose ice cream. All eyes looked at Maura.
"I eat anything, for ice fruit later after just eating."
Not long after the food arrived. Without speaking again, they devoured the food. Then they eat the ice again.
...----------------...
Time continues to tick quickly, without feeling late in the afternoon. Above the sky, the clouds began to turn black and black as a sign of rain. The office workers have tidied up their respective work desks.
Even some have sabotaged the bus waiting stop according to the destination route. It was seen that their faces were so anxious because they were chasing the time of the water bomb from up there.
The same thing also felt Maura, he had packed and did not forget to tidy his table. He worried about the mother at home, because the habit of Sila's mother would wait for him to come home at the door if it would rain.
"Lake in." Excited Dias from inside the room looking towards the door.
"Excuse me, I'll go home first..." Pamit Maura from the door.
Dias turned his head towards the glass from where he was sitting, he could see the weather out there. " But the weather is cloudy, Maura. It's raining soon." Dias again threw his gaze at Maura.
"That's why I want to go home soon, it's raining, we don't know how long it's raining." Maura said looking out through the glass.
Dias let out a rough breath. " Okay, careful. If the rain starts to fall shade do not force things. Or Jo's gonna drive you, let your bike stay here." Dias stood up from his chair towards Maura.
Maura shook her head. " No need, I'm on the bike. Then I go home first huh," Pamit Maura once again left Dias' room
This beautiful secretary breezed out of Dias' room. He stepped in a hurry to catch up with the weather, Maura immediately headed for the employee parking lot and pulled out her matic motorbike. Not to forget he also wore his coat for anticipation as the wind started blowing.
"Maura... The day's been drizzling. Come with me and Erik. We'll take you home." Excited Della came to Maura who was wearing a coat.
"I'm on the bike, Del. My house is close so I still have time, I'm also wearing a coat." Reply Maura smiled at Della, her eyes glancing towards Erik's parked car. Apparently the man had come to pick up Della.
Della looked up at the darkening sky." But soon it will rain." He tried to persuade his friend.
"Don't worry I can be alone, now you get in the car. Erik's been waiting for you." Maura encourages Della's body to quickly approach Erik's car.
"Be careful on the road." Della resigned. He felt that Maura had been quiet lately, probably because of Sila's mother who fell ill, Della thought.
Maura put her bike forward without looking back, her gaze straight ahead as she passed by Erik's car. Unlike the cold man in the car, Erik had been watching Maura and Della. He breathed his coarse breath still thinking if Maura was angry at him for snapping at him that time.
"Before we go home to the supermarket first." Take Della to Erik.
"Yes, put your belt on." Reply Erik. Glanced at Della for a moment.
Up there, exactly the CEO's room. Dias looked down from the glass of his room. He smiled wryly to see Della returned to be picked up by Erik. Miris is indeed an endless love story because it must be broken before it develops. Dias doesn't want to be stamped as the villain of love, forcibly taking someone else's property. Erik and Della are still friends.
Dias also did not blame Erik who had not revealed his feelings, maybe the cold man needed confidence and did not want to be rash in taking action. If you make a wrong move, there will be a wounded heart.
"Why ?" Ask Jo. Since then, he has been watching his boss. The man sat on the couch playing his cell phone.
Dias had not yet turned from the glass front, he stared fixedly at the raindrops that were beginning to fall." Have you ever been in love ?" Ask without taking his eyes off.
Jo puts her phone on the table and then crosses it. " Fall in love ? Seems not yet. Because I didn't think of going in that direction." Reply sure.
Dias smiled faintly, even more grimly that his subordinate had never felt in love. " Do you believe in falling in love at first sight ?" Asked Dias again now slightly facing towards Jo who was sitting on the sofa.
"Believe, because that feeling is very rarely felt by someone. Most people will fall in love because they are often together and spend time." Jo replies as if she had fallen in love at first sight.
Dias smiled back to look outside, it was very visible if the rain was getting heavier. " Jo, can you tell the difference between awe and love ?" Dias asked for the third time.
Jo stood up from where he was sitting and walked over to Dias. Now they both face outside. From this height they can see the movement of the vehicle down there. Jo breathed a long breath before answering. "I think love is pounding when it's nearby. Wrong behavior and fear of wrong in his eyes. They want to look perfect when faced with it. Being able to have it is an incredible feeling of happiness. To be amazed is to be amazed at his actions, to adore beauty or the other side . And not intending to have it adored enough from afar."
"That's your explanation for long." Dias laughing. " I used to admire Maura who was beautiful and intelligent and that I defined as love. It turned out that after Della's arrival I felt another feeling, I was nervous and often misbehaved. I tried to look perfect in his eyes, I also wanted to look able to protect him. That feeling I didn't feel for Maura other than liking her because she was smart and beautiful." Dias.
Jo smiled thinly. " You like Della. And Maura harbors feelings for Erik. Then Erik and Della's relationship is still gray. Real complicated. Let's go home the rain's gone." Bring Jo.
"All right, I'll pack up first." Dias went back to his desk.
...----------------...
Erik and Della are picking out what Della needs. Erik no longer spends money on Della. Because surely the woman rejected it for the reason that she already had her own salary.
They went around after feeling quite and complete Della queued at the cashier. Meanwhile Erik waited in front of the supermarket, after paying Della following out. Because the rain began to subside, some motorists began to leave the store and front of the supermarket.
Erik is putting together Della's groceries in the back. While Della memayungi Erik, although the rain is said to subside but still leaves a drizzle.
The sound of a loud impact on the asphalt caught Erik and Della's attention. Everyone who had not yet exited the supermarket parking lot ran to the highway. Erik was curious because his voice was so loud it could be confirmed that there was an accident on the road. Della shook from where she was standing, the loud noise made her head throb and tremble. He clenched his hands several times to expel his dizziness and uneasiness.
Erik who had unknowingly left Della, split the crowd. There was an accident in front of the supermarket. There lay a couple on the asphalt covered with blood, it seems they also just came out of the supermarket parking lot. While on the highway they were hit by a speeding car and dragged the motorbike up to several meters. That's what Erik heard from the muttering residents who saw the incident directly.
The driver of the car was secured by residents who could not escape. Della who was looking for Erik's whereabouts was forced to force herself to approach the crowd. With a limp Della asked the road to continue to the side of the highway. After seeing Erik, he immediately approached him. But his steps came to a halt after seeing blood flowing in the rain and a couple lying on the asphalt either unconscious or dead. People are still making noise calling traffic police and ambulances, some are berating the car driver for speeding at the intersection of the supermarket. Someone helped the accident victim.
Della's body squeezed and trembled, cold sweat seeping on her forehead despite the cold weather. His vision was blurry, his tongue was a little bit like just mentioning Erik's name. Her chest is tight.
"DELLA !!" Pekik Erik was surprised.
Della slumped on the ground, Erik who was unaware that Della was standing next to him was shocked and panicked.
