I'm Not Him

Bondan takes Rania for a walk. They took a picture together and sent it to Vero who at that time asked about what Rania was doing that day.

Vero stared at the photo of Rania who was so happy to go with Bondan. She is thrilled, finally finding the answer to Rania's recovery. He must maintain Rania's happiness at all costs.

He asked the manager in Australia to re-route the work to others, as Bondan would be stationed again in Jakarta in order to continue living with Rania.

Meanwhile, Rania, who never let go of Bondan's hand, stared at Bondan's face, who was having trouble sending their picture to Vero with just one hand.

Bondan glanced, though,

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" ask Bondan.

Rania shook her head.

"Why look at my face like that?" bondan asked again, after putting his phone in his pocket and facing his body to Rania.

Rania smiled sweetly, then she leaned on Bondan's shoulder.

"Thank you!" rania said slowly.

Bondan could hear him, he did not ask the reason that made Rania say that. She rubbed Rania's hair and kept her hand.

They sat in the park staring at others who were also enjoying their day there. Some children run around and are chased by their father or mother. The shining morning sun adds to the cheerful atmosphere in the park.

Bondan imagines the people who run it are himself and Rania as well with their son. They can take a vacation together, eat food prepared by Rania before they leave, then eat it while watching her son run around.

~Imagine it only I feel happy, especially if all that happens. Dear God, let me have plenty of time to make Rania happy. That's all I want~ hope Bondan.

Shortly after, Rania yawned and wriggled like a child.

"Congratulations?" ask Bondan with a smile.

Rania nodded, Bondan stood up and asked Rania for her hand to hold back. With a smile, Rania gave her hand. They went from the park to his house.

The sight was seen by Yudi who accidentally stopped near the park. He lowered his head and sighed, feeling that Bondan was indeed the person that Rania had expected to be by his side.

Although Rania looks like a child, but she is very comfortable with him. Lean back, hold hands and walk with her.

~Arumi's right, I don't have to bother Rania anymore. I shouldn't worry about my son either. Everyone who was on Rania's side didn't even care whose child she was in. They love Rania so much that they forget such unimportant things. Just pray for Yud, you can keep them from a distance~

Yudi's heart was trying to firmly accept everything he saw. He tried not to force his will again. He turned on his motorbike then went to the restaurant to get back to work.

Rania falls asleep in the car, Bondan takes her to the room. Adit opens the door and gives Bondan time to sit down and look at Rania who is sleeping.

Bondan stroked Rania's sweet face. Just like the first time Bondan saw it.

"I love you!" muttered Bondan while kissing Rania's hand.

Bondan puts Rania's hand down slowly then tidies her blanket.

After that, he came out of his room, Bondan was invited to eat.

"Sorry Mom, but we ate earlier. Even Rania eats a lot, so maybe she is sleepy because of the satiety" replied Bondan.

Vera smiled at Bondan's story about Rania.

Bondan smiled, he hadn't been able to copy and talk to Adit for a long time. Their busyness makes their togetherness become disturbed. Although they can exchange ideas through messages, it turns out that it cannot treat their longing to sit together and chat.

"All right, we're copying" Bondan replied in agreement.

Vera made two cups of coffee. Then presented it at the table right in front of Adit and Bondan who began to talk about Adit's busy on the flight.

Dila finished with her work, a friend asked her to join those who were eating at Yudi's restaurant. Dila hesitated, she did not want to meet Yudi often, even though it was just a coincidence.

Dila looked at her phone, then remembered the box that Yudi had placed on her for Vero. Dila refused his friend's request. She went to her sister's office with the box.

Arriving at Vero's office, Dila saw her brother talking to the labor representative. His face was very serious and worried. Insanely thought, he was worried that something was happening with the factory.

Dila entered after knocking, Vero looked at her in surprise like he had been caught hiding something. Dila put the box on the table, then raised her eyebrows as if asking what she had hidden.

"Okay sir, excuse me" said the man sitting in front of him.

He understood after Vero did not speak anymore while staring at Dila.

"Yes sir, please!" answer Vero.

Vero rubbed his face, then opened the box, which he also knew was the box that Yudi had brought earlier this morning.

"That's Yudi cuisine" said Dila.

Vero stared.

"Then?" Vero stopped opening.

"Fear that you still do not want to touch anything related to Yudi" said Dila with a shrug of both shoulders.

"Cckk, I'm a laper, won't take lunch" Vero said.

"Here you go, just eat!" said Dila.

Vero opened it and devoured it while staring at his laptop. While Dila remained sitting folding her hands on her chest, while watching her brother's face that looks tired.

Vero knew he was being watched, but he ignored his sister. He didn't ask or tell her to go back to the mall or go home if her job was done.

But not Dila if you can survive to be silent in that awkward situation. She starts the conversation by complaining about her difficulties at the mall, hoping her brother complains and they talk to each other.

"Lumayan cape ya ngurus mall even though only two seeds" said Dila.

He opened a file that happened to be a report on the progress of his mall. There is no weakness in the report. She also said that just because she wanted to see her brother's reaction.

But what is planned does not always end as desired. Vero even answered the thing that made Dila really swallow her saliva.

"You have to eat a lot, help spend it. Si Yudi makes food for sick people this mah, there is absolutely no pain"

Vero complained about the food Yudi made. Dila made an ugly face aimed at Vero who did not even see him.

Dila joined the meal, obeying the groove her brother wanted. He won't ask what Vero doesn't want to share with him. Dila thinks maybe Vero still doesn't fully trust her compared to Rania. But this time he will always be patient with everything. Hopefully there will be a good moment faced by them to talk back to each other like a sister like usual.
