Glass Flakes

Still At the Cafe

"You mean?"

"Have you also accepted Dimas as your husband?"

Dinda was silent at Maya's question. During this time Dinda did not deny her marriage to Dimas. But accepting Dimas as her husband, has she accepted him? Aaahhhh, he himself did not know the answer. To be sure since his last meeting with Dimas, he had become more curious about the man. A man who is said to have changed since his status as her husband. And he was increasingly curious about how much the man changed so that his own family seemed so grateful to him.

"Come on May" replied Dinda who increasingly made Maya wonder. "Why?" Dinda asked again when she saw Maya looking at her in wonder.

"You are different now. Yesterday when asked about Dimas your answer is always funny, rich does not care about it. Now you're richly confused as to your own feelings you know?"

"What time?"

"Dinda, are you serious about getting well?" Ask Maya gently.

"Emm" Dinda nodded.

"Why don't you try to get closer to Dimas?"

"Ehh, you mean?"

"You realize, all this time you've been avoiding each other? One is afraid to hurt, the other is afraid to hurt. Maybe it also caused your trauma just as he did not heal. Because you never tried to get to know him better. It's your fear that overcame your trust in him".

"What the hell is May?"

"Ck, you're this. Hhhh, how the hell is clear" said Maya began to get upset. "Gini ya Din, try deh you do not avoid directly from Dimas. Or you try to talk to him".

"Ngaco. You saw for yourself just met that rich gemeter. How can I talk?"

"Eat it, biasain! Do you know what your psychiatrist said? Your recovery depends on you as well. If you are not serious about healing, try. You are desperate first. If you will faint again there will be a Dimas who lifts. Hehehe,,,"

"Haiiisshhh, this is you. But you have May, too. Maybe getting to know her better can take away my fear of her".

"Naahhh, that's dong" said Maya happy.

Dinda never took her trauma to Dimas too seriously. For him, as long as he can return to normal life by being able to go to college and also socialize alone is a cure for him. But in fact the simple thought that makes the trauma never healed. The more he avoided Dimas, the harder it was to forget.

In another room, Dimas was sipping his coffee with Niko and Devan.

"Lo don't want to fuck her Dim?" Ask Niko.

"No, you don't see him anymore?"

"Emang why? You also know that you're her husband?" Devan.

"Gue doesn't want to ruin his fun. Did you see, she was scared?"

"Hhhhh,, Dim,, Him. I am ama lo. Have a wife, but fate does not lose my singles" lamented Niko mocked Dimas.

"Nik is different, Dimas already has status. Well lo? girls are many, but the status of single mouth from the past" replied Devan.

"Yeee,, single is also Van status. How about yourself? Dating has not been lo iket-iket tuh the Sheryl. Take off nyahok lo!"

"Haisshhh,, you laknat!" annoyed Devan throws Niko with a slice of orange in his drink.

"Ehem,,, ahem, excuse me" someone distracts them.

"Alex" they said at the same time.

"Can I come in?" the man called Alex. Without waiting for an inside answer, he stepped in and sat himself on the empty single sofa.

"What are you doing here?" Tanya Niko cynically.

"Just want to talk to Dimas".

"Haissshh, it's not polite how much older you are" said Niko annoyed.

"Oohhh, are you old now? Is that why you stopped at the arena?"

"You want what the hell is lex?" Sahut Devan's.

"Still the same. I just want to race Ama Dimas".

"Gue has stopped racing" Dimas replied flatly.

"Ohhh,, huh? Are you afraid of losing to me?" Alex provokes.

"Udah is Lex. I was curious about Dimas. He stopped, you know what it means to stop?" Devan

"Ohhh,, huh? Does that also apply if the stakes are big?"

"Ciiihhh,, kemaren afternoon boy talking betting. How much money do you have?" Niko said, which seems to upset Alex. Seen from the look of Alex's face that stiffened and clenched his hands.

"Ok, what if the stakes aren't money?" alex says he's drowning out his emotions.

"Keep it what?"

"Motorized?"

"Gue has stopped! Don't you know it yet?" Dimas' voice was slow but resolute as he held back his emotions.

"Okay, call me if you change your mind". Alex stood up and put his foot down. Then stopped his steps as he almost reached the door. He turned his body back to look at Dimas. "Oh yeah, your wife is pretty too. Ati-ati many want" continued Alex then sauntered away leaving Dimas whose face was reddened holding anger.

"Hey,,,!!!" Shouted Dimas to Alex who was already away.

"Dim!" Devan blocks Dimas's hand from chasing Alex. "Quiet down".

"He knows Dinda Van" said Dimas, looking worried.

"Emang why? We all know Alex. He's not gonna endanger Dinda. Calmly ajat. Sit down" said Devan calming. Dimas also obeyed Devan by sitting back on the sofa behind him.

"It looks like he's your brother Dim" said Niko who had noticed Alex from the transparent glass bulkhead. He sees Alex joining Talita's entourage.

Dimas and Devan soon follow Niko's point of view.

"Damn it!!!" Umpat Dimas still watches Alex.

Dinda who has ended her consultation session also entered with Maya. He chose to join Talita's entourage and his friends.

Andra who saw it also swiftly pulled two chairs for Dinda and Maya. They also sat in a row with Andra beside Dinda of course. He glanced at Dimas with a provoking smile.
