I'm Not Him

40

At nightfall, Fajri helps the cashier complete the calculations today. Day by day, revenue exceeds the target. Fajri smiled feeling that the adjustment done by Dila was sweet.

Arumi waited in one of the customer's seats. Every now and then she sees a cell phone waiting for Vero to call her. But the message did not come. His face is very moody.

Dila checked her social account and responded to all the comments that came after her friends saw all her photos about her restaurant menu.

Yudi came out of the kitchen and put on his jacket. But he stopped after seeing everyone still working. He sat down near Arumi who was staring at his cell phone.

"He hasn't called?" ask Yudi.

Arumi just shook her head. Dila listened even though her eyes were still staring at the laptop. Yudi looked at the laptop screen and saw a photo of Dila that was so beautiful. He smiled and praised her in his heart.

~She is beautiful, attractive and good at paying attention. In contrast to Rania, she bore too much of everything herself. It was as if the people around him were unable to gain his trust. Holy hooch! Why do I compare them? Why am I disappointed with Rania. You know for yourself Yudi how Rania lived her life. It's not his fault if he doesn't want others to know about his grief~

Yudi struggled in his heart. While looking at Dila, he thought about Rania.

Suddenly Dila turned to her, Yudi was surprised.

"Chef, your photos when cooking get a lot of likes, want to see?" said Dila with a sweet smile.

"Oh yeah? Where's?" ask Yudi while switching seats approaching Dila.

Cheerfully, Dila showed it. He also showed me some photos that liked the most. They also discussed the menu that many asked.

Arumi stared at their closeness with cynical eyes. He seemed unwilling to see his brother with Dila whose nature he disliked less.

Fajri sat down near Arumi to report the earnings today. Arumi stopped putting on a cynical eye, then switched to staring at the file Fajri brought.

Fajri smiles laughing at Arumi's concern at her brother's feelings.

"Don't worry, men usually understand very well where he should put his heart" whispered Fajri.

Arumi's eyes were rounded, he still disagreed with the thoughts that Fajri had spoken several times about men, especially his older brother Yudi.

"No! You should still like Rania. Any way. Don't let her face be the same, you like her. Hear that! I won't be willing!" arumi said loudly.

Fajri gaping did not expect Arumi to talk loudly. Yudi and Dila instantly looked at her who very clearly said everything she wanted to say. Dila gulped her saliva, her heart was upset to hear Arumi's words that clearly disagreed if she was with Yudi.

While Yudi was speechless and looked the other way and thought about Rania. Then he looked at Dila who had a face that did not like to hear Arumi. Dila returned her gaze then held her hand.

"Think about! I won't force it, anyway if Rania is your true love, I'll understand it" Dila said.

Arumi smirked feeling that Dila was just pretending to be nice. Fajri was silent looking at them in turn. He felt awkward about the situation that actually started because of his comments.

Yudi stood up and took his helmet. He walked out without saying anything. Dila hurriedly turned off the laptop and put it in Vero's den. He ran after Yudi who was still sitting on his bike while silently staring at his bike.

"Let's take a walk!" take Dila on the bike and hug her.

Yudi was surprised and glanced back then looked at Dila's hand that was holding her. Yudi smiled.

~Dila hugged me, she did something I wanted Rania to do for me, but she never did it~

Yudi put on his helmet and turned on his bike. Dila smiled and tightened her embrace. Yudi felt Dila's embrace growing tighter. He took his motorcycle to the city park.

"Gemes is the same Yudi, I can do it!" mumbling Arumi.

Fajri looks at her hoping Arumi sees her and takes off her hand. But Arumi squeezed Fajri's arm harder, so Fajri could not resist.

"Aw!" finally Fajri made a sound.

Arumi regained her senses and looked at her hand that was hurting Fajri's hand, her eyes turning to Fajri's grimacing face. Hurriedly she took off her hand then rubbed Fajri's arm gently.

"I'm sorry! sorry yes!" arumi said repeatedly.

Fajri laughed and shook his head.

"It's okay, just don't be too often, my arm will be bruised" Fajri joked.

Arumi smiled sweetly then laughed at herself who was too worried about her brother's feelings.

"Why, I really would not be willing if Rania was replaced by Dila" Arumi said.

"You can't force Yudi to keep his feelings for Rania that he might have felt that Rania had left him" Fajri said.

Arumi was stunned to hear Fajri's words then sighed.

"Judi may be hurt by the uncertainty of his love. Is Rania coming back or not? If it comes back, is it the same or not?" said Fajri with a flat expression while tidying up the map that Arumi checked.

Arumi was speechless looking at Fajri's face and listening deeply. Understanding the meaning of Fajri's words. Trying to be a Yudi who is taking steps, whether deciding to wait or looking for another love.

Yudi stops his bike at the side of the cafe where he last visited with Rania. The cafe's headlights are still on even though the cafe is closed. The view on the side of the cafe was beautiful. A place that has been a witness to their joy when together, even though many things happen in life.

Dila went down, followed by Yudi who went down while locking his motorbike and then opened his helmet. Dila was stunned by the sight in that place. He couldn't express his admiration for seeing all that.

Yudi looked at Dila who was very similar to Rania, especially the way they were stunned. Dila looked at Yudi and clasped her hands to get closer to the fence and leaned there.

"You come here often? It's so beautiful!" said Dila happy.

"Yes, last time with Rania" said Yudi.

While staring at Dila's expression upon hearing her words, Dila fell silent. He took off Yudi's hand, lowered his head and took a step back, but Yudi stopped and held his hand.

"Will you help me forget the memories with Rania?" yudi.

Dila looked towards Yudi and smiled happily.

"of course! I will do everything I can to make you forget it" said Dila who immediately hugged Yudi.

Initially, Yudi's hands stiffly silent, feeling doubtful despite having asked Dila to be willing to accept her feelings. But because he felt comfortable with Dila's embrace, he hugged Dila's body tightly reciprocating Dila's feelings.

Dila is very happy, she feels that she has won from Arumi's fretting thoughts that Yudi will still maintain her feelings for Rania. He was also happy that all of his vows could be realized.
