He's Mine But For You

Comfortable near you

After Rista's speech last day at the Library, now Dinda and Bary are starting to maintain their closeness. They are no longer together like before. Some of their friends suspect their relationship ran aground halfway. In fact, they have not yet decided to get into a relationship. All this time they just consider their relationship like a friend.

A prank student approaches Dinda. He casually asked about his proximity to Bary. Dinda smiled too. He said, "I and he are fine. We're not fighting."

" Ah, the hell time? Yesterday still looks like a road. Read the book in front of the library. Did you guys go out and break up?"

" No.. We have nothing to do with it. We're not dating" Dinda denied.

" Why do you look so friendly wherever you meet?"

" Can't we be friends? More familiar as it is now?"

" She.. Yes you can. I'm not forbidding. Sorry, I'm just asking."

" It's okay.."

Rista, who was busy watching Korean drama movies on her phone, just fell silent to see a friend next to her in the interrogation of other girl friends. It was as if he had ignored Dinda. But he knew what Dinda and her friend were saying. He pretends to focus on his phone. He was actually curious also with the attitude of Dinda and Bary who seemed far apart.

He wanted to ask her about it, but she did not dare. Luckily, another girl friend asked Dinda that. He also quietly eavesdropped on the conversation. But Rista did not get a satisfactory answer.

Since entering the class until the third subject, Dinda did not invite Rista to talk at all. Dinda tends to look at her desk for reading her favorite Book she borrowed from the Library yesterday.

Rista could not stand Dinda's silence. He stabbed Dinda until she was shocked.

" Dinda.why just shut up? Why not talk to me? What's wrong with you?" asked Rista who could not bear to hold her silent mouth.

" It's okay, Rista. You know, you weren't busy looking at your phone?"

" Yes.but talk to me, dong. I feel like a stranger to you if you're like this."

" ah.. I'm sorry, Rista. I just don't want to bother you. You, you love that movie. So I'm not gonna make you stop watching it."

" Dinda, I'm fine. In fact, if we are at home like this, the effect is even rich again enemies."

" Hehe.iya too, Rista. All right, I'm not going to shut up again. What are we gonna talk about?"

" Emmm.chat what, yeah. I'm getting confused...Ahaha.."

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

At half-time, the class was empty. All students leave their classes and go home. Rista and Dinda came out together. They took their bikes in the parking lot. Bary walked on foot to his house. He prefers to train his feet to walk rather than pedaling his own bike.

Arriving at the parking lot, Rista who originally intended to play to Dinda's house, canceled her wishes. He got word from his Parents that his Grandmother died. He hurried and left Dinda.

" Sorry, Din.I'm not going to play at your house. My grandmother in Solo died. I was told to go home quickly. Next time, yes I will play at your house." said Rista.

" It's okay, Rista. Next time only. We still have plenty of time. Oh yeah, I'm so sorry, Rista. May your Grandmother be received by His side and received all her charitable deeds. Aamiin's.."

" Okay, Dinda. Aamin.. Thank you for your prayers, Din. Then I go home first, yeah. Da..."

" The da.. Ristas."

Rista paddled his bike quickly. He was afraid his parents were angry and scolded him if he went home long. Dinda paddled her bike in a relaxed manner. The scorching sun during the day makes the body weak. He does not want his power drained. For that he pedaled his bike slowly.

Out of the school building, Dinda meets Bary on the street. Dinda greeted him, "Bary.."

Bary looked and stopped. Dinda got off her bike and walked over to Bary.

" Would you like to go home, Bar?"

" Yes, Dinda. I'm going home."

"Street?" ask Dinda.

" yes.. I'm used to it. So I don't get tired easily even if I walk a long way."

Dinda also took a walk to accompany Bary. It feels bad to leave Bary walking alone.

" me? Emmm, I have a lot to do."

" What?"

" Eh, I'm selling fried chicken in front of the minimarket."

" So you still sell fried chicken? Well, I guess you're just replacing your dad's job when you're sick."

" No.. My dad still sells in the morning. I sold it in the afternoon. But I sold it myself. Put on my own money."

" Bary.kok you can, yeah. At this age, you can make your own money. I admire you." said Dinda with a smile. He is increasingly interested in Bary's personality. Besides being smart, polite, diligent, he is also not shy about making money with his own efforts.

" Sir.. It all depends on the will. I am like this because of circumstances. It's the circumstances that make me like this. My father is sick and no one is looking for money. While I need money to stay in the hospital. Then my mom taught me to sell. I was embarrassed at first, but over time I got used to it. Even my parents supported me when I asked them for permission to sell with my own capital."

" You're great, Bary. I'm sure that if you pursue your efforts, you can pay for your own school and save for your future."

" You're overreacting, Dinda. Hehe.I hope that's how Dinda is."

" I'm not overreacting. You're a really big dream guy.."

" What?" Bary was shocked to hear Dinda's words.

" Uh.. Naw. It's okay, Bary. Just forget what I said earlier." said Dinda as she ducked down and flicked her hair forward so that her reddened face was invisible to Bary.

Bary looked towards Dinda. He then pulled out Dinda's hair covering her face. Dinda was shocked and her face turned red. His feelings are getting worse. He was so ashamed of Bary. He asked Bary for permission to go first. Bary holds Dinda's bike.

" Dinda, where are you going?"

" A.I want to go home first, Bary."

" Are you ashamed of what you said? Dinda. I'm not why-why. Don't cover your face like that."

" Bary. I.."

" Why, Dinda?"

" I'm actually.."

" Just tell me. I'll listen to you."

" I feel comfortable around you. You're it.."

Bary held onto both of Dinda's shoulders and looked Dinda in the eyes.

" I'm glad you said it, Dinda. I promise I'll always make you comfortable."

" Seriously?"

" Yes, I'm serious. I'll make you feel at home if it's near me."

" Thank you, Bary."

" Together, Dinda."

Dinda was relieved to hear bary's words. His heart became flowery. He also returned to continue his journey home. But until the T-junction, he separated from Bary.

" Dinda.i go first, yeah. Be careful on the road." said Bary.

" yes.. Thank you Bary. Don't forget, tomorrow we meet again." said Dinda with a smile.

Bary also returned Dinda's smile while nodding his head. Dinda got back to riding her bike. While Bary was still standing by the side of the road to watch over Dinda. He was afraid of Dinda why-why in the street. When Dinda was no longer seen, Bary moved from where he stood and immediately returned to his home.
