He's Mine But For You

The House of Rista

Dinda leaned on her bike and rushed over to Rista. He was sorry to see Rista whose face looked disheveled. But he didn't see Bary with him.

" Rista, did you tell Bary about yesterday?"

" Yes, Dinda. It's all done. There's nothing to worry about anymore. I'm sure Bary will be back as he was.

" sthat mean? What did you say to Bary?"

" Dinda, sorry I'm in a hurry. Bary's in the restroom. He'll be home soon, if you want to talk to him, he'll be able to talk."

" Eh, wait a minute. What's wrong with you, Rista? Crying again?"

" No, Dinda. Yes, I want to go home first."

Rista immediately ran over and left Dinda in front of the school gate. He could not hold his cry anymore. Her tears fell all the way home. Dinda becomes confused, intending to chase after Rista with her bike. But Rista told him not to follow her. He stopped and put his bike back on.

Before long, Bary was already in front of the school gate. Dinda called.

" Bary..."

" Sin.."

" Rista why? Why is she crying?"

" Crying? Crying why?"

" I don't know, didn't I just talk to you? I met him here. He told me he wanted to talk to you. After meeting here, he said it was all over. Meaning what?"

" I don't know. He wasn't crying, huh."

" Bary.honestly, did you say something that hurt her again?"

" I didn't say anything. You said he himself, who wanted to tell me."

" Yes, he wants to talk to you. But you must have hurt her feelings again."

" Dinda.stop thinking about him. She's not a weak girl. Even though he's crying today, tomorrow he'll laugh again."

" Bary.I still have feelings. I can't let my friend be sad. Come on. follow me to Rista's house."

" For what?"

" I want you to make peace. I want you to apologize to him."

" I've apologized. And he forgave me."

" No way. Proof she's crying. He must have heard your hurtful words. Anyway let's go to Rista's house."

" Dinda.I told you, I don't want to. If you want the crowd, please go alone. The house is not far away either."

" Bary.can't you think about his feelings. Give up for her, for me."

" Dinda..I am who, and who is he? I should how? He's too mature. Time has dared to say I like it. I don't want to think about that. I want to focus on school."

" Bary.listen to me.. Maybe he's too mature. But he's nice. He's my best friend. I can't let her cry. I'm begging you."

" Dinda..do you not think about my feelings? Don't just because he's your best friend you keep sacrificing me. I'm your best friend too. I don't like him very much. I like it can't be forced."

" Ihh..how can I make you understand? Bary, just this once, let's go to Rista's house. We talk to him well. Understand..Bary. If you want to be with me, you have to be able to handle all of this. You must be able to be patient in dealing with the attitude of a girl. I want you to be like that."

" Sin.."

" I beg you.."

" Okay, we're going to Rista's house."

After saying Bary quickly walked half a mile towards Rista's house. Dinda took her bike and pedaled it after Bary.

Five minutes later, Bary and Dinda arrive at Rista's house. Dinda knocked on the door of Rista's house.

" Tok tok..."

" Who's out there?" ask Rista's mother from inside the house.

" I'm Dinda, Buk." said Dinda.

" Eh, Son Dinda. Bary boy is here too. Please enter.. Sit down first, I'll call Rista." said Rista's mother then immediately called Rista who was cleaning her clothes in her room.

" Good, Buk. Thank you." said Dinda and Bary simultaneously.

" Rista.ada Dinda and Bary. Here, Son. Meet them. I'm gonna finish Mom's job first."

" Dinda's with Bary? What are they doing here, Buk?"

" Mom doesn't know. Try to meet first."

" OK, wait a minute" said Rista and immediately finished his work.

" Dinda and Bary are here. Want to do them. I told you not to follow me. Why did Dinda even invite Bary to come here." rista murmured inwardly.

He was forced to leave the room and meet his guests. Actually he didn't want to see them, but Dind was his best friend. He couldn't avoid it if Dinda wanted to meet him.

" A, Dinda..Bary.. What's up, huh?"

" Rista." said Dinda and hugged Rista.

" Dinda, why? Don't be so."

" I saw you cry, I couldn't bear to see it. I don't calm down if you're sad and I can't keep you company."

" I'm okay, Dinda. Don't overdo it, worry about me. Look. I'm okay, right?"

" I know you're a strong girl, but I'm also a girl like you. If it hurts, the cure will be long."

" It's okay, Dinda. Kan, I told you. It's all done."

" Done how?"

" Yes, the problem is over. Yesterday, we had a problem. And now the problem is over. So there's nothing left."

" ristone.. I'm sorry about that. I'm so sorry to tell you that. Now, I want us to go back to what we used to be. The three of us are best friends. I don't want to hurt you or hurt Dinda" Bary said.

" Bary.what are you saying? Wasn't that obvious. I'm it's okay. And if I cry that's normal, right? So it's all done. I've forgotten that. Now, no one else will bother you. I've done it all, really."

" Rista..what do you mean? How's ikhlasin?" ask Dinda.

" I've been sincerely Bary to you, Dinda."

" ristone..Bary is not mine. We are just like you. Don't think too far. There's still plenty of time for us. We don't know who our partner is tomorrow. Bary could be your partner now. But tomorrow, whether the day after tomorrow or maybe the next few months, Bary will be someone else to you. It could even become your eternal enemy. You may like someone, but it's better for now to focus on learning first rather than thinking about it."

" Dinda's right, Rista. We better focus on learning first. If we want, we'll compete. Who will get the best ranking. Don't think about the couple."

" Focus on learning? Dinda, Bary's.. We need to focus on learning. You guys said the same word. Do you just want to entertain me? We should focus on learning, but do you put your feelings aside?

In your heart grows the seed of love. I know, actually, you are not only just liking, but also loving. Never comfort me. I'm not doing anything.

If you want to get as close as before I'm interrupting your relationship, please. I won't bother you anymore. But I have a message for you, Bary. Never hurt Dinda. Listen to that carefully. If you dare to hurt her, I won't hesitate to tie you to a big tree."

" ristone.. You serious?" ask Bary.

" yes.. I seriously. I will not repeat my words."

" May I be with Dinda?"

" Hey.."

" Rista..what are you talking about? I don't want you to give up like that. I want you to fight for your love, Rista."

" Dinda.maybe my feelings for Bary can be said that I love him. However, after I thought about it, maybe my feelings were wrong. My love for Bary is just monkey love. Maybe one day it will disappear as time goes on. Now I'm gonna give Bary up for you, Dinda."

" No, Rista. You don't be. I don't want to."

" Sin.."

Rista hugged Dinda who seemed to want to cry. She stroked her back and beautiful hair. While Bary just sat quietly looking at the figure of two beautiful girls who were hugging beside him. He can't speak anymore.
