He's Mine But For You

Back to Rista's House

Rista slammed her body into the bed. He shed his tears which he had been weeping since. He took a pillow and used it to cover his face. His heart was now completely broken. Unexpectedly, it had been more than two years since he was lied to by Bary. Bary had told her before that she wouldn't be dating before she left school. But in reality, Bary has been dating Dinda for over two years.

Actually, he said to Bary and Dinda that if they were dating, he wouldn't be jealous. Even if Bary and Dinda are dating, he will not be able to see their closeness.

And when Bary said that he had been dating Dinda for more than two years, his heart seemed to be torn apart. Mind raging. Her tears could not stop coming out.

" Bary....! Why do you prefer Dinda over me?! He is a new person in our lives, why did you choose him?! Dinda's not the right girl for you! I'm the one who knows everything about you. I will accept all your shortcomings and advantages! Bary's... Don't blind your eyes and heart!"

Rista cried and screamed like a person in pain. Nothing calms him. Rista's parents are not home. And he could only lament his own grief.

" Bary..why should we know if we can't be together? I'd rather never know you than know you, but you're not for me. We didn't just grow up together for a while. We were together for a dozen years. From small to now. I hope we will live together like yesterday. Why don't you have any feelings for me.

In fact, I always accompany you when you are alone. When you're in trouble, when you need a friend to solve your problem. But you never thought about all my sacrifices! Bary...! Is that your reply to me?!"

Rista was crying. She wanted to shed her tears that day. He does not want to drag on in his sadness. And promised himself, tomorrow must be able to control the sadness in his heart.

...----------------...

After returning home from Rista's house and buying flour for her mother, Bary goes to Dinda's house. He wanted to convey Rista's message to Dinda.

" Dinda.." said Bary from outside Dinda's fence.

Dinda who was reading a book on the porch of the house then ran to open the gate for Bary.

" Bary's.. How's it?" ask Dinda.

" It's nothing, Dinda. Take it easy, everything's fine."

" All right, how? What did Rista tell you?"

" Oh, it's nothing. He just wants to tell you something."

" What's the message to me?"

" Yes... He said that until now he still considers you a friend. He also apologized for not wanting another table with you."

" Rista.I should be the one apologizing. Because of me, your relationship has been disrupted."

" Sir.. Don't tell yourself you're guilty. Nothing is wrong. We don't know who our soul mate is. So there is no need to regret what we have now. Rista wasn't my soul mate even though she loved me, so if I wasn't with her and preferred you, it would be natural. We cannot force our hearts to love someone. Come on, Dinda.. Rista has accepted our relationship. You don't have to feel bad about her anymore."

" What?! So Rista already knows about our relationship?!" ask Dinda in a high tone.

" Yes, I have told him our relationship."

" Geez, Bary. Why did you tell him? I did, I told you. Don't tell anyone about our relationship, especially Rista. Why did you say it?"

" He cornered me.. He keeps accusing me. He must have been suspicious from the beginning. So I can't lie to him anymore."

" Bary's.. Do you know what you're doing? You hurt her heart the same! You understand what kind of girl you're feeling, anyway?" dinda scolded Bary.

" I did it so he wouldn't wish me any more, Dinda. So we can be more comfortable in this relationship.."

" But your talk hurts her heart. I told you not to say anything to anyone. Why did you break it?"

" I don't have a choice, Dinda. Understand my position at the time. How long will we keep lying to him? If we keep pretending, what if he keeps hoping for me? Then what about our relationship, Dinda?"

" I said be patient, wait until Rista finds her partner. Why are you in such a hurry?"

" Okay, I admit I was wrong. What do I have to do to make up for my mistakes? You gonna hit me, slap me? Please, Dinda.."

" No.. I'm not gonna do it. Oh God.. Rista must be very sad at this moment."

" No.. He will not be sad. He laughed when I said we were getting married."

" What? That far you told him? Bary..Bary.. Ah, nevermind. I have to go to Rista's house. I can't let her be sad."

" What do you want to do there? Don't.."

" Yes, I want to calm him down. Don't block me."

" Sir.. Why do you keep thinking about it? He said he accepted our relationship. Don't make him wish on me anymore."

" I have to go there and apologize for all our mistakes. I don't want the lies we're doing to put a burden on his mind, and make us hate him."

" Huuuhh... All right, if that's what you want. I'll accompany you there."

" I don't want to talk to him in one eye."

" I dare go home alone. He's your neighbor, isn't he. Not too far from my house."

" I'll keep dropping you off. I don't want you to go alone."

" Hemmhs.. All right, then."

...----------------...

Shortly after, Bary and Dinda arrive at Rista's house. They both came with Dinda's bicycle.

" Tok tok..." Dinda knocked on Rista's door.

Ten minutes later, no one opened the door. Bary came back knocking on the door a little tight.

Rista who was currently asleep, became awake after hearing people banging on the door.

" Who, the gedor-gedor door. Kan, not in the key. What's everyone else, huh?" rista muttered and immediately got up from his bed.

He then straightened his hair and wiped away the tears on his dried-up face.

Bary knocked on the door once more. Rista became emotional. He also screamed with a scream.

" just a minute!" rista said, then rushed to open the door.

" Eh, Bary's with Dinda. Come in you two." said Rista. He then immediately rubbed his face so that the traces of his crying were not visible.

" Thank you, Rista." said Dinda.

" Please sit down.."

" Sorry, are we bothering you?" ask Dinda.

" ah.no. It's nothing, really. Sorry, I stayed a while. I just woke up because. Wash your face first."

" Rista, it's just beautiful. No need to wash your face."

" Hehehe.but my vision was blurred. Just a moment, not a long time, really."

" em.alright.. Don't be long, yeah. It was late afternoon."

" Yes, just for a moment, really." said Rista then rushed to the bathroom.

" Bary's... You saw his face, right?"

" No, I'm ashamed to see it."

" Why be ashamed? You know, she must have cried herself to sleep."

" Time, anyway?"

" Ohh.. Sensual, dong.. Anyway, before Rista leaves, I have to sort this out. I have to apologize to him. And I don't want him to go and bring hate to us."

" Yes, we have to apologize to him. I don't want him to hate me either. Although he's annoying, but I don't want to be hated by him."

Before long, Rista returned to the living room to bring cold bottled tea and small meals and put them on the table.

" I'm sorry to wait, I brought you a drink and a friend."

" Oh, Rista. Sorry to bother you."

" It's okay, Dinda. Let's drink."

" Thank you.."

" Anything, you two came here?"

" Areally we.." Dinda stopped her saying then suddenly hugged Rista.

Rista hugged Dinda. Their crying then broke. Only their tears spoke.

While Bary just sat dumbfounded to see the two girls in front of him crying for each other. He doesn't know what to do. And finally he did nothing and let Dinda and Rista mourn their grief.
