He's Mine But For You

Apology

Over time, Bary felt uncomfortable. He decided not to disturb them both. Without a word he rushed out and waited on the porch of Rista's house.

After Bary came out, Dinda began to hold back her cries and spoke to Rista.

" Rista.forgive me, yeah. I have lied to you. You can hit me, slap me or hurt me with anything. But never hate me, Rista. I don't want to be hated by people as good as you." said Dinda as she wiped her tears.

" It's okay, Dinda. I realize who I am. I'm just an ordinary girl. Which is not very interesting. You're lucky to get the people you want."

" Rista.I am evil to you. I took the one you love so much. You can swear at me as you like, Rista. The important thing is that you can forgive me. I want us not to be hostile to each other."

" Sir... Never mind, if you really like Bary. I'm okay if you guys are dating. Don't feel bad about me. If you lie it makes me sick."

" Rista..You're going to forgive me, right?"

" Yes, I forgive you not because you're dating Bary. I forgive you for hiding your relationship."

" Yes, Rista.. I was wrong to hide our relationship. I'm so sorry."

" It's okay, Dinda. Don't cry anymore. I promise I won't hate you. I forgive you too, though. Besides, there are dreams I should pursue instead of thinking about unimportant problems."

" I'm not important?"

" important.. The problem is not important. Hehe.."

Dinda saw Rista's smile. He also smiled. He thought his smile was a sign that he had forgotten his problem.

" ristone.. Hope you get better than Bary. I'm sorry, I love Bary so much. I can't take off Bary for you." murmured Dinda inwardly.

" Dinda. Mumpung is fresh."

" Thank you, Rista. Well, I'm just getting a little troublesome on you."

" It's okay, Dinda. Oh yeah, where's Bary?"

" Oh, I don't know. I thought he was next to me."

Dinda looked outwards, but Bary was invisible. " Where did Bary go, why did he leave me." thought Dinda.

" Maybe he's home. The house is not far from here" said Rista.

" Hemhh.yeah, let him go home. I can go home by myself later."

" How about I drop off. But don't rush home."

" Eh, don't go. I dare go home alone, Rista."

" It's okay. I want to play at your place. Can, right?"

" Emm.bby. You haven't been to my house in a long time, have you."

" Hehe.Since we have a problem, I have never been to your house. Sorry, Dinda.

" It's okay, Rista. I miss us rich again. Before going to bed, we talk a lot while watching TV in the room."

" Hehe.. Yes, Dinda."

" But you'll sleep in my house, right?"

" I don't think so, Din. I have to prepare my supplies."

" It's time, it's still a long time. Why rush?"

" I'm going to my aunt's house in Jakarta. I'll stay there for a week. Maybe after that I went straight to Germany."

" Rista.I beg you, stay at my house. Aren't we going to see each other again?"

" May be, Dinda. But we can still send messages, right?"

" But I'm gonna miss you, Rista."

" Hehe.. I will return to Indonesia once every three years. So I'll always come back here."

" It's a long time ago.I'm gonna miss you so much."

" Dinda, if you mind I'll go. We better go to Germany together. Your parents are there."

" Rista, you know how my parents. They don't care about me. I suffered while I was there. They prefer work to their own children. They never had time for me. That's why I promise I won't go back there."

" I think they've forgotten me. If I hadn't called them, they would never have called me. I don't feel like I have anyone, Rista."

" Dinda, I'm sorry. I don't understand your family. But I can only give you advice, you better meet them and tell them your grievances. Who knows if they can understand how you feel."

" I've called them. I've been complaining but they think I'm a kid. They just smile and say patient. I'm not strong, Rista."

" She.. Your parents are right. You have to be patient, Dinda. Who knows they are struggling to build their dreams. To prepare for your future."

"I don't need any of that, Rista. All I need is for them to notice me. Maybe the girl out there, has become a broken girl because it is far from her parents. What if I can't take it anymore and.."

" It's.. Don't go on, Dinda. Don't expect to be a broken girl. I'm sure Bary can take care of you."

" Ristas..." Dinda hugged Rista tightly. Her tears are flowing again.

" in' din.. I can only pray that you will always be okay. Your problems with your parents are also quickly resolved. I'm sorry I can't help you anymore, Dinda."

" Weight.. It's hard if I have to stay away from you, Rista."

" How else, Din. I won't disappoint my parents and the Headmaster. I don't want to disappoint myself, either, Dinda."

" Alright, Rista. I can't seem to keep you from leaving. Don't forget me, yeah."

" Hehe.. Notwithstanding. I will not forget you. Let's drink again. Soon it'll be maghrib, you know."

" Oh, yeah.. Not feeling, yeah."

" Hehe.we cried over time. Until Bary leaves we don't know."

" Hehe.iya, Rista."

Dinda sipped the drink in a bottle until it ran out. After that, he asked for permission to go home. Rista volunteered to accompany her and drive Dinda home.

But when Dinda came out, Bary had been waiting for Dinda in front of the fence of Rista's house. Knowing Dinda is out, Bary rushes to pick her up.

" Bary's... Where have you been? I'm looking not to meet. I thought you were coming home." asked Dinda.

" No.. I just can't bear to see you two who are playing a drama. That's why I'm out, rather than me being a playwright."

" It could have been you, Bar." said Rista.

" ristone.. Again, I apologize for our mistakes. Don't put it too much into the heart. I want you to forget it tomorrow. I don't want you to keep your hate on us." said Bary.

" No.. I've forgotten it, Bary. Don't worry about me."

" May you get the better of me, Rista."

" Thank you, Bary.."

" Eh, Rista.Let me go home with Bary, yeah. I thought he was not back. It turned out to show up when I wanted to go home."

" It's okay, Din. Just relax."

" I'll be here tomorrow before you leave. If I may, I'll also take you to the airport."

" Come before afternoon, yeah. Maybe I'll be more busy preparing for tomorrow night. I don't think it is, Dinda. I'll trouble you later. Just by coming home I'm so happy."

" It doesn't really bother, anyway. But yes it is. I'll come to your house in the morning. So we can talk a lot all day before you go."

" Hehe.can you, Dinda. I'll wait for you."

" Thank you Rista. Then I'll go home first."

" Yes, be careful."

Dinda immediately left Rista's house. Bary picks up Dinda's bike which he parked outside. Rista looked at the two of them who came out in tandem.

He was so sorry why they were in a relationship. But he can't do anything. He doesn't want to ruin Bary and Dinda's relationship.

Although he felt hurt, he tried to forget his sadness.

" Bary's.. Dinda.. Hopefully your relationship will be fine even though I am not sure, you will be united in the bond of marriage" said Rista Lirih.
