Vero's vacation time is up, and he's back in Yogya.
While in the taxi Elmo called him.
" Hall Ve?"
" Yes El?"
" What time will you be? let me pick it up."
" No need El, I'm already in the cab anyway, already want to get to my boarding."
" Why don't you want to call me? I told you I was going to pick you up."
" No need El, I can do it myself."
" Have I been to your boarding house now?"
" Are you going to the boarding house to meet me or Dinda?" Ask plain Vero.
" Why is Ve?"
" Yes if you want to meet Dinda, please, but if you want to meet me, tomorrow El I'm still tired."
Elmo smiled inwardly
" Vero Vero is very honest" Elmo said in his heart.
" Yes tomorrow" replied Elmo and closed the phone.
Arriving at the boarding house, Vero immediately slept until the afternoon, because he was exhausted after one day and one night in the vehicle.
Vero continued to be in his room until night, and only played android while lazing.
#############
As time passed, Vero continued his usual activities, only the habit of chatting with Dinda was no longer done, Vero was lazy to Dinda's room again since Elmo and Dinda were familiar.
One afternoon after work Dinda went to Vero's room.
" Ve.." call Dinda spoiled.
" Hmmm" said Vero lazily answered Dinda's call.
" Ihhhh, that's the answer."
" What should you do?"
" That's a little enthusiastic, what's Din? how's Din? it's Ve's cake."
" What's up, Dinda? Vero said without switching from his hp screen."
" This Iiihhh is recommended first dong, I want to talk seriously." While seizing the Vero hp and put on the mattress.
" What's serious talk? "
" Ve will malem come with me yuk?"
" Where?"
" Somewhere."
" Two?"
" The two leave."
" then?"
" Have not tried it, come first and then you know."
" Males ahhh."
" Ihhhh Ve ayok dong, pleasss really you will be seneng!"
" How's seneng? I don't know yet."
" Yes, I'll know that it's already there."
" Are you sure I'll be a grin?"
" I swear I'm so sure, I know you're Ve."
Vero scrunched his forehead, trying to guess what surprise his best friend would make that the end of the day began to go far with him. Vero felt a little curious, so his head was called, assuring Dinda's invitation.
" Yesss..later finished magrib ya ", said Dinda.
" Yes", replied Vero still pretentious.
" Beautiful dandan inget, wear the best clothes?"
" What do you want to see the president?"
" Ihhh this is more than president Vero sure deh, inget ya wear the best clothes and and keep beautiful!"
" Yes yes bawelll."
" Makasihhh Vero" said Dinda, pinching her best friend's cheek, and then leaving Vero's room, there was a smile on Dinda's face.
" What the hell is the kid going to do?" whisper Vero to yourself.
After the prayer magrib Dinda went into the room Dinda.
" Are you ready yet Ve?"
" Well, he said for a moment to be told to dress up a beautiful one."
Vero wore a long skirt below the knee, and a light pink top, perfectly suited to Vero's body.
" Ckckck vows you're really pretty, like Ve model photos, but later you bring a motorcycle."
" Yes done", replied Vero.
Soon they went to the place where Dinda showed them.
" Where is Din?"
" Have continued to follow my orders" said Dinda.
" That's it stopping at that front cafe Ve!"
" Cafe Din's? Real ones? I don't have a hobby for the cafe."
" It will be calm you will be smiling Ve."
After arriving at a fairly classy cafe, Dinda and Vero get off and walk in.
Vero looked here and there, looking for a surprise what his best friend would give him.
Dinda kept holding Vero's hand getting inside. Then then Dinda stopped her steps in a room that seemed a little privacy, there was a partition made like a fence to limit with a chair next to it.
In the room there are 2 chairs arranged face to face, as well as a candle placed on the table in front of him. Red colored decorative candle.
" We you sit there, yes, I'll go to the toilet first, wait for where not!"
Vero obeyed Dinda's orders, he was still wondering what the hell his best friend was going to do.
Vero looked around the room between the gaps of his room. He only saw a few guests who seemed to be enjoying the dishes in this restaurant, and it seemed that the average visitor of this restaurant was an adult couple and a family entourage. Understandably this place is a restaurant for the upper middle, and may not be suitable for student pockets.
After a long wait, there came a pair of hands touching his shoulders from behind.
Vero was very surprised, and he spontaneously turned his head.
He saw Elmo standing behind him, wearing a gray ash-colored shirt, and looked very gallant. And it looks a little different as usual.
" the Elmo? how are you here?"
Vero asked confusedly.
Elmo simply smiled in response to Vero's question, then Elmo pulled up the chair that was in front of Vero and sat on it.
" We you're surprised I arrived here?"
" Why are you here? then where's Dinda ?"
" Dinda's been home from that."
" Have you come home from now? What the hell does he mean? And I was told to go home, what El?"
" Sstttt be calm there I am" Whispered Elmo holding Vero's hands.
Vero was surprised, why Elmo was holding his hand.
" Be calm, Ve, I'll take you home" Elmo said.
" El what the hell is this?"
Elmo took a deep breath, as if to gather up the courage to speak to Vero.
" Ve. I know maybe this is too soon, but I don't think I can see you keep falling. Ve I want to fill the emptiness of your heart, I want you to allow it to be a substitute for Bima."
" El..you're not kidding, are you?"
" No Ve I'm serious, I love you, long before there is Bima in your heart."
" El you?"
" Yes Ve, are you wondering who the woman I mentioned was a bad past to me?"
" He was you Ve, you were a bad past time for me, because I could never be honest with you back then, so I kept my feelings up to this moment alone. I still can't forget you Ve, and then we're reunited at the mall. But it turns out I have to be disappointed when I know you already have Bima, especially when I know Bima will propose to you. I seem to want to get out of here so I can't see you anymore, but I still can't get Ve, your shadow is following me."
" El I'm confused, then you used to be with Diaz how?"
" I've never loved Diaz Ve, but she's always chasing me."
" Aren't you two dating?"
" Who said it?"
" The Dawn of El."
" Ooohhh dawn, actually Dawn loves you too."
" Love me? Really El?"
" Yes, he told me himself. We were just as eager to get you back then, and maybe that's why Dawn told you that me and Diaz were dating."
" Why did you just stay away from me after that?"
" Because I don't want to be between you and Diaz breaking up, you know Diaz's attitude, her stubbornness and not caring about anything?"
" Yes El, but why didn't Fajar tell me that straight away until I graduated El?"
" I don't know that either, maybe he feels that you don't have feelings for him, and he's choosing to harbor those feelings rather than later you'll be different to him, because you know he likes you."
" Why then do you dare to state all this with me?"
" Because I just found out you have the same taste as me."
" Why are you so confident El?" said Vero sok selling expensive.
" Hahaha you don't have to pretend, isn't it enough that you've harbored a feeling for so long?"
Vero's face turned red, and Elmo knew that Vero was nervous at the moment.
" Listen Ve I know everything from Dinda, she told me everything, I was so happy when I heard it, because it turns out you have the same feelings as me. Though at first I just want to keep this feeling alone, because surely you can not forget Bima, but then Dinda revealed all the secrets to me."
" Dinda's? so all this time?"
" Yes, he's been the one who set this up for us, he's also the one who told me to quickly express my feelings for you."
" When the two have nothing to do?"
" Oh no Ve, we were close because we wanted to put together this secret mission for you, me and Dinda knew that you were very jealous at that time, right, seeing the familiarity of both of us?"
" That's not how you feel" Vero replied shyly.
" Udahlah Ve, want to until when you torture yourself, permit me to be a substitute for Bima ".
Slowly Elmo stood up from his chair and suddenly knelt down in front of Vero, staring intently at him.
" Vero will you be my girlfriend ? start everything from scratch with me, and promise never to remember bad memories with Bima again, and carve good memories with me ?"
Suddenly Vero shed tears, whether this is the answer of all the betrayal of Bima, suddenly Alloh sent a man who he had always admired silently, silently, and it turns out he has the same feelings as her.
" El you're not sorry ?"
" Sorry why Ve ?"
" I'm afraid that later I still can't forget Bima completely while with you ?"
" I promise I will help you forget her, and will take all the sadness out of your face, I promise I will replace it with a smile, that's my promise Ve "
" Is it really El ?"
" Yes Ve, will you accept my love ?"
Then Vero nodded.
Slowly Elmo stood up and hugged Vero's body.
There were tears in the corner of Vero's eyes, but this time tears of happiness.
" Ve your body is very thin anyway, tomorrow eat a lot yes, let fat ".
" Aren't you afraid I'm ugly if my body is fat ?"
" Vero Vero I love you because of your personality and not your body dear ".
Elmo said while wiping away Vero's tears, and peeked at Vero's forehead.
For a moment he was surprised because he remembered Bima's shadow when he kissed her, but slowly pushed aside, now in front of him was his lover Elmo and not Bima.
