Actually Dinda believes Bary is a good guy. Bary couldn't have done anything bad to Dinda. Butu he only ascertained his belief by asking Bary directly.
After Bary told the truth, Dinda became a little embarrassed. He felt that his words, as if accusing Bary had done something indecent to Dinda. But Bary understood what Dinda said. He was not angry at all if Dinda thought badly of him.
" Bary.forgive me. I don't really want to talk about this. But I'm curious. On the other hand, I can't believe that you didn't do anything to me. I think you must have bad intentions in your heart. But I'm sure if you have no good intentions, you won't do it to me."
" Sir... What are you talking about? I have absolutely no thoughts of doing anything bad with you. There is no intention either. I was purely helping you when you fainted. You think I'm not worried about seeing you collapse in the street while walking with me? I'm worried.I'm afraid you're why-why."
" Yes Bary.I believe it, really. Thank you for worrying about me. And also helped me. I don't know if there's no you, how I'm gonna be."
" All the same, Dinda. Never talk about that again. Now that I want to hear, what do you want to say to me? Now just don't wait for it."
" Oh.that.. I want to say something."
" something? What'sthat?"
" Eh.anu.I forgot what to say."
Dinda was suddenly confused. He didn't know where to start talking to Bary. Before, he had already arranged his words to talk to Bary. But after he met Bary, the words he had prepared were lost.
Dinda's attitude made Bary curious. However, Dinda's confused and nervous face even more makes Dinda more charming.
While waiting for an answer from Dinda, Bary looked at Dinda's beautiful blushing face. He wondered if Dinda would become his wife. He started to smile at himself while looking at Dinda's face.
Suddenly, when Bary had not stopped with his wishful thinking, Dinda pulled Bary's ear. Bary complained even though he was not so sick, but he still had time to laugh.
" What are you thinking? Don't tell me you're thinking something evil, are you?"
" Oh, let go of my ears. How I want to talk."
" Ohh... You must be thinking nothing of me, right? Come ngaku!"
" No.oath. I don't think that far. Don't think negatively continue to be the same as me. There will be even you afraid of me and away from me."
" Mistake it yourself.just let me stay away. I won't be lonely if I'm far away from you either."
" Seriously???"
" Hehe.ngak. I'm kidding."
" Hmm..."
" why? Don't pout that way. I'm not serious."
" I really hope for you a lot. But with your words, I doubt."
" Bary.forgive me. I was just kidding. Don't be so rich."
" I'm not just desperate."
" Come, dong. I brought you here to discuss something very important. I wish I could make you calmer and not crave any more."
" What is it?"
" Hell, I'll tell you."
" Yes, let's say."
" Patience first. I'll take a breath first."
Dinda took a deep breath. He tried to rearrange, words that slowly began to appear in his memory.
Bary had been waiting for Dinda to speak. He could not wait to hear what Dinda wanted to say to him. She was so hopeful, Dinda said something that made her happy. But if Dinda wanted to say something that broke her, she was ready with all her might.
" Bary's.."
" Yes.."
" First of all, I want to apologize for all the wrongs I've done to you. My words may have gone too far and irritated you. Maybe even today, you are still angry with me. But I really hope you will forgive me. I hope you don't hate me."
" Thank you, Bary. I thought you'd hate me and stay away from me again. I don't want us to be far apart."
" I don't want to be away from you either, Dinda. I'm.."
" Why, Bary?"
" Ah already... Forgetit. Then is that all you want to talk about?"
" No.. There's another one."
" What?"
" About our relationship."
" sthat mean?"
Bary's heart started to shake. His heart started beating fast. It was like being in a queue. And that was when he got his turn to advance forward.
" After I consider, I want us to date. But, just just that. We will walk like friends as usual. Do you mind?"
Hearing Dinda's words, Bary seemed to be hit by heavy rain in the middle of the dry season. His hot heart was getting cold. He doesn't know if he should be happy or difficult. Dinda's conditional words made her unable to be completely relieved. But he must be able to appreciate Dinda's choice. For him, dating but only friends will make a healthy relationship.
" I don't mind, Dinda. I'm glad you want to say it." said Bary in a heavy voice.
" Bary's.. Don't you like my words?"
" Likes.."
" Bary's.. Why I chose dating but our relationship is like a friend as usual. Do you know my reason?"
" I don't know" said Bary, staring down the street and not looking at Dinda.
" Because of Rista. I can't let him get hurt watching us. Especially hearing we're dating. He must be very sick. We wait for our relationship to go like this first. When it's time, we will walk like a girlfriend. Do you want to accept my decision? Do you want to accept me?"
" Why think about Rista again, Dinda? Stop thinking about him. Stop feeling sorry for him. He himself told us that he has destroyed us. Don't make him a barrier to our relationship."
" Bary's... Rista and I are both girls. So I know how she feels. I was thinking what if I was in her position, I would be hurt too. Wait until Rista can find her partner, then we will be free from the barrier of our relationship."
" It's up to you, Din. I don't know what to do. On the other hand I was irritated by Rista, but she was also my best friend from childhood. I can't hate him, even though I know he's the one who caused us to have to be like this. Whatever your decision is, I'll take it."
" Bary's.. Are you sure your attitude like this will make our relationship okay?"
Bary speechless. He started to ignore Dinda. But he still heard what Dinda had just said. But he refused to respond to it.
Dinda was also silent. He just wants to make his relationship with Bary better. But he began to be lazy to face the attitude of Bary who constantly made Dinda, uncomfortable being around him.
Until a few minutes passed, Dinda and Bary just sat down and didn't say a word. Bary busied himself by plucking the garden grass around him. He twirled the grass. Then he cut it into small pieces.
Meanwhile, Dinda keeps a close eye on Bary's busy behavior with herself, and doesn't want to say a word to her.
" Oh my God... I have to talk to Bary. I'm rattled. Is Bary now my girlfriend? But he was not at all happy with my decision. Is my relationship with her worth calling a date?" murmured Dinda in the heart.
Shortly after, Bary suddenly stood up. Suddenly Dinda became shocked because Bary stood up very quickly. Bary then grabbed Dinda's hand.
" Let's go home."
" Eh..home?" said Dinda while looking at Bary's hand holding his arm.
" why? Can't hold hands anymore?" bary said with a little tart.
" Oh, but don't be long." replied Dinda nervously.
" It turns out you have a lot of rules, yes. Well, maybe it will protect you from something bad." said Bary then walked first leaving Dinda still glued to her place.
