Love Starts With Dreams
Episode 15's
After a few weeks I avoided Aldi, to be honest I felt lonely. I feel like there is less than my days. I have never accompanied Aldi basketball practice again and never again communicate, not even say hello. Although Aldi always tried to say hello and even invite me to chat, but I always tried to avoid it.
Since today's lecture was over, I walked along the campus corridor alone, because my two best friends had gone home first.
As I walked I saw Aldi and Rudi chatting in the front corridor, I wanted to turn around, but unfortunately Aldi had seen me first and walked towards me with his sweet smile. I took a breath to neutralize the heartbeat that was now beating faster, I tried to be ordinary until Aldi was in front of me.
"Vin why are you?" Ask gently.
"I'm fine, Al." I lied.
"No need to avoid me anymore, Vin," said Aldi again who only replied with a nod.
"I already have a lover Vin, but you're still my best friend.I want you to have someone who can please you. I don't want it if I'm the only one who finds someone I love but I also want you to have that person" Aldi said at length.
"Yes Al, I'm working on it" I said with a smile. Aldi smiled and hugged me. I smiled in his arms and returned Aldi's embrace because I honestly missed him, I missed his embrace and missed all his sweet treatment of me.
Arriving at the apartment I laid down my body on the sofa. I smiled remembering Aldi.
While being cool with my mind a ringing from my phone resuscitated me, I grabbed the phone that was on the table and saw who dared to interfere with my pleasure. And I saw that Fitria was the bully.I lazily shifted the green button on my phone screen.
"Hallo what's wrong?" I asked lazily.
"...."
"Yes I'm at your house, thirty minutes away,"
"...."
"I have to take a shower!"
"...."
"Yes not long," I said then turned off the phone from Fitria.
I rushed to take a shower and change my clothes, then immediately went to Fitria's house by bus, because I was lazy to bring my motorcycle.
Arriving at Fitria's house, I knocked on her door and it turned out that the one who opened the door was a handsome man and seemed to be above me. I don't know who he is because I've never seen him.
"Excuse me there's a fitri?" My friendliness.
"How come, just go in," he replied no less friendly. Then I went in and found Fitria who was chatting with a man who also did not know who, could it be Fitria's boyfriend? I don't know I don't care.
"Have you arrived, Vin?" Ask. Obviously I'm here, which means I've arrived, but I still ask questions like that.
"Keep it's not there yet, why am I here? your question is not very high quality anyway," I said annoyed. While Fitria was just a whimper, and the two men were holding back their laughter.
"Chinese doang Vin" said Fitria again.
"Nobody told me to sit?" I asked while looking at them one by one with an annoyed face.
"Usually not told to sit down, why should you tell him to sit down first?" fitria judes.
"Yes, that's different again, now you have to keep the image," I said to Fitria jokingly while glancing at the man who opened the door at a glance and then smiled at her.
"That's really Vin's imagery, disgust you know?" said Fitria with her pretentious face.
Since I was sore I finally sat beside Fitria, and Fitria introduced the two men who turned out to be friends with Fitria. I just found out that Fitria has a pretty good-looking friend, and I'm attracted to the guy who opened the door called Rayhan he's cute, I love it. but still my love is only for Aldi.
"Sir Rayhan, what work is still in college?" I asked Rayhan's sister while Fitria and the other man named Derry were chatting.
"Last semester, if you?"
"I am as rich as Fitria, only the fourth semester," I replied with a smile.
"Fit, don't you have any intention of giving me a drink?" I asked Fitria, because she only talked while I was thirsty.
"Take it yourself, usually it is, too" he replied.
"Guests are kings. Ambilin cake, have no understanding," said I did not lose judes.
"Yes, let me take it" said Reyhan, then went into the kitchen.
"You've been a long time ago, have you?" ask my other friend Fitria.
"Lumayan, we also often play here, but how did you just meet now Vin?" ask Derry to me.
"This is the drink, Miss," said Brother Rayhan to give me the drink.
"Ok thank you waiter" I joked back, then he smiled and returned to the chair opposite me. I drank the orange juice Rayhan made until it was gone. Bodo time with images, I really thirsty.
After I finished putting the glass that was empty shirt and I saw the three people were looking at me in disbelief.
"Why the hell, how about that kayak?" many wonder.
"So I said take care of the image, but drinking doesn't know shame, like dry fish" said Fitria, who I don't care about.
"Oh yes, Derry's question has not been answered? Maybe not a soul mate, Kak so do not meet," said my origin. They just laughed at my answer.
"You're funny, Vin," said Rayhan, smiling at me.
"Thank you, sister, I was funny from birth" I replied.
"At last you return to your former nature, Vin, who went to PDan and also chebelin.but it's okay, than mulu mulu," said Fitria then hugged me, hugging me, I just smiled to understand the intention of the words of Fitria earlier, because I also felt that lately I had been silent and sometimes cried because I thought of Aldi.
Instantly I remember going back to Aldi, and I remember when Aldi told me to look for another man, and maybe it was time for me to open my heart to another man, and stop expecting Aldi.
The clock was showing at nine o'clock in the evening and I just got home from Fitria's house with Rayhan's brother. I don't know why I'm so happy to know him, even though I only know him today, but I feel familiar with him. He is a friendly person and can make things full of laughter.
"Thanks yes, brother, I'm going home" I told Rayhan's brother when I got to the apartment where I was staying.
This morning when I came out of the apartment to leave for the campus, I was surprised by Aldi who was in front of me with a sweet smile.
"Let's go" Aldi asked. Without waiting for a long time, I boarded Aldi's motorbike and headed straight to campus.
I'm happy that today I was able to leave with Aldi again, but my little heart felt bad, I was afraid to hurt Fania's feelings, and I was afraid that Fania would see me leaving with Aldi, although Fania allows it, I still feel bad. I don't want to be called a destroyer of people's relationships.
Along the way I was worried because I was afraid Fania saw me with Aldi, until I arrived at the campus parking lot I could breathe a sigh of relief. I looked to the left right to make sure that there was no Fania here and I told Aldi to be classy first, and thankfully Aldi allowed it.
Arriving in the classroom I immediately approached my two friends and sat on the bench that I used to sit on. With breath still breathing I greeted my two best friends.
"Why are you, Vin, Abis being chased by a dog?" Ask Fitria in surprise.
"No, I'm still running, afraid of going to the lecturer," I replied reasoned.
"There are still ten minutes left, Vin, just calm down" said Ayuni who had just looked at the clock on her wrist. I just smiled and nodded. After that I took the novel out of the bag and read it for a while while waiting for my lecturer to come.
I was at the cafe in front of the campus with my two best friends, waiting for the next lecture hour.
"Vin, come here when I'm in the toilet I overheard Fania's conversation with Cella. And you know, Vin, Fania told Cella that she accepted Aldi out of pity, so much heart, right?" fitria.
"Yes I know, Fit, at that time Fania also said to me, if she only accepted Aldi because of kasian, Aldi had expressed his feelings to Fania several times but never Fania received, he said, and yesterday Aldi declared it again Fania just received him, so he ngizinin I deket continue with Aldi." Obviously I'm at length.
"But Vin, if I suggest, you should keep your distance from Aldi." now Ayuni said.
"Yes I also keep the same distance Aldi, because I also do not want to be considered a destroyer by others. Although Fania nerima Aldi because of pity, but I am sure one day Fania will love and love Aldi," I replied
After approximately two hours of chatting with my two friends, we finally returned to the campus to follow the next course. And when I arrived in class I was shocked and hurt because I saw Aldi and Fania who were laughing happily with Fania in Aldi's arms. Is this what it's called 'receiving for pity'? I just smiled wryly and walked over to the two and sat at my desk with my two best friends. I could see from the corner of my eye Aldi who was smiling sweetly towards me, but Fania gave a cynical smile and seemed to underestimate me. Yes, I know he took my Aldiku.
I sat down and ignored the two of them, pretending to be okay when my heart was already very sick and I wanted to cry right now, but I try not to look weak in front of them. Seeing my situation like this Ayuni and Fitria continued to pat me gently on my back intending to calm me down and strengthen me, I smiled at my two best friends, reassuring them that I was okay. even though I'm actually doing something. And fortunately, not long ago lecturers came and started giving materials today.
Today's course was finished a few minutes ago, and my two best friends have gone home first. Now there's only Aldi and Fania in class. I have no intention of getting out of my place and still am engrossed in my unfinished novel. Until one voice diverted my activities.
"Vin, why haven't you come home yet?" Ask Aldi to me.
"Nothing still wants to be here," I said soberly.
"You have a promise to go home with Aldi, Vin?" Ask Fania.
"Ah no, Fan, I'm not going home with Aldi" I replied.
"If you have an appointment to go home with Aldi is okay Vin, you go home together usually together, too," said Fania kindly and pretentious.
"No, Fan really, I'm also waiting for this meeting," I said lying.
"Oh so, yes I am the same Aldi first yes, Vin," said Fania who I only nodded.
After the two of them left I really cried now, I don't feel happy if Aldi is with another woman.
I used to be his priority, but not anymore. Many times I tried to classify Aldi but my little heart always refused. Somehow when I had intended to stay away but Aldi always approached, and when I got used to him again, I felt comfortable again, feeling Aldi was prioritizing me again, making me sure to stick with him, there Aldi started to stay away again. And I feel like I'm losing her again.
Almost every day I cried because of it, or maybe because of my own stupidity that was too big to expect it, so that made me feel a huge disappointment as well.
I walked down the campus corridor to the main gate of the campus and immediately took public transportation to arrive at the Apartment. I want to immediately rest my body and also rest my mind.
Arriving at the apartment my phone rang indicating there was a message coming in. I grabbed my phone from the bag and saw who sent me the message.
From: Brother Rayhan
Hey Vin, have you come home from college?
To: Brother Rayhan
Brother, just arrived.
From: Brother Rayhan
Kirain hasn't come home yet, brother was going to pick you up.
To: Brother Rayhan
His late brother, ngabarin,
From: Brother Rayhan
Yes, tomorrow, brother picked up, huh?
To: brother Rayhan
Ok, don't be late
If I am angry late.
From: Brother Rayhan
Haha:D ready princess.
I was pleased with Rayhan's presence, even though it was just a message but it was enough for me to forget Aldi even for a moment. I know, I haven't known Rayhan for a long time, but I honestly feel comfortable with him. I do not need to jaim-jaim if I am with him, I have only met and chatted with him twice but I do not feel awkward telling about my life even telling about Aldi though.
Brother Rayhan is a warm man who understands me, he also always listens to my complaints and always gives me advice and input for my problems. Just remembering it makes me smile to myself.
Should I try to open my heart to other men, and stop expecting Aldi? I don't know now let time answer it, because I believe if indeed Aldi is my soul mate I'm sure as far as he goes will definitely come back again.
