Love Treasure And Friendship

Love and Wounds

The morning sun shines its warm rays. Dimas lifted his thick blanket, his eyes began to blink ready to see the beauty of his new world.

Yeah, a new world. He got up from his bed, looking at the notes he had seen for months. A faint smile was strewn across his lips. He took the note and took it out, giving it to his mother who was busy cooking his favorite fried rice.

"Morning ma," said Dimas and then kissed his mother's forehead.

"By the morning too, honey, what are you carrying?"

"Here you throw away, Dimas doesn't need that paper!"

Mama received the paper Dimas had proffered to her.

"Why was it dumped, baby? you're........"

"Dimas already do not need it, Dimas already remember ma, Dimas remember what happened the same Dimas without Dimas play all the videos, Dimas do not need to read the note book again ma, ma, Dimas remember!"

"Dimas, are you serious? you....." mama Dimas's eyes began to look glass, he could not continue his words, he was very grateful that his only child had regained his memory.

"But ma......."

"But why, baby?"

"No papa," replied Dimas smiling.

"Abis breakfast, we go to the doctor!"

Dimas nodded.

After finishing breakfast, bathing and changing clothes, Dimas and his mother immediately went to the hospital.

After a long period of examination, the doctor explained that Dimas' memory had not fully returned. His memory limit began when he woke up from his coma in Singapore. He still can't remember his past before he had an accident. At least that's a big step forward for Dimas.

Dimas no longer need to write in his note book. He remembers both his parents, Anita, Yoga and his girlfriend, Toni, his cafe clerk and most importantly he always remembers Dini.

His heart still pounded every time he was with Dini. But he tried to brush off the feeling, he realized how Anita's struggle and sacrifice on him, he would not make Anita grieve what else was hurt. He will try to be the best for Anita, someone who always faithfully accompanies him even when Anita has the choice to leave, Anita remains faithful waiting for him, patient and always devotes love and unfortunately for Dimas. That was what Dimas thought at the time.

The good news was immediately told by Mama Dimas to her husband, Mr. Tama and also to Anita.

Yoga, Sintia, Toni, Andi and Dinipun finally knew it. Everyone is happy, except Anita. He was getting more scared and worried. If Dimas has remembered his past, it means he must be ready to be abandoned by Dimas.

That afternoon, as usual, Dini was busy serving the customers of the cafe. Dimas came to him.

"Andini, will your mall be having an event?" ask Dimas.

"I mean Father?"

"I want you to have dinner with your girlfriend, if you're not busy, think of it instead of our messy dinner yesterday!" clear Dimas.

"I'm sorry, sir, I can't!"

"Why? are you still angry with my fiancee? I'm sorry if the words he said offended you, me......."

"No, not because of that, sorry sir, I can't!" say Early and then step away from Dimas.

His heart was scratched again to hear Dimas calling Anita "engagement", like it or not that is the reality.

"why does it still hurt,"

Deep down, there was little hope of getting back with Dimas. Despite his opposing logic, his heart still misses Dimas, longing for Dimas' love and affection for him.

Not feeling his tears just dripping, he immediately removed them, he had to stay strong, he had to stay strong because he was no longer the weak and crybaby Dini.

"Andini, hot choco yes!" said Dimas on Dini who is still daydreaming, the rest of his tears still appear in his eyes moist.

"You why? you sick?" ask Dimas who realized that Dini was not okay at that time.

"No sir, I'm not papa," replied Dini as she stepped in to prepare the Dimas order.

Somehow his tears were getting unstoppable, dripping without giving him time to wipe it. His heart ached, sore from his old wounds that were re-scratched.

Dimas approached Dini, pulled his hand and hugged her. Whether because of his instincts as a man or indeed because of the impulse of love in his heart, Dimas hugged him tightly, hoping to calm Dini who was still crying in his arms.

What a painful loving embrace for Dini. He is weak, he cannot refuse. The wounds in his heart were treated by Dimas' embrace, but the medicine he received was painful, painful but healing.

Until someone pulls Dimas by force, making Dimas release his embrace in Dini. The person thoughtlessly slapped his slap on Early cheek, leaving a red mark on his cheek.

"The cheap girl doesn't know shame!" anita said by raising her hand to prepare to slap Dini again but prevented by Dimas.

"What the hell are you Nit? you're......"

"What are you? why do you want to hug him? what he's been doing until you forget who and what your status is now, you're my fiance Dimas, but you're even hugging your cheap waiters!"

Dini who could not defend herself just ran to the staff room, she took off her cafe uniform and put on her shirt and left the cafe.

He realized because he had done it wrong to Dimas. Although it wasn't her who started hugging, she shouldn't have let Dimas hold her. He walked on the sidewalk with tears that he could not stand. His heart was too painful to hide. The wounds in his heart were too deep for him to cover up.

He walked in any direction, the pain in his heart messing with his mind.

"sorry I'm Dimas, sorry because I still love you, sorry because I can't forget you, sorry because this love is too big for you, if I can ask, if I can ask, I want God to erase my memories of you, of us, of everything that has happened between us, if I could be reborn, I wouldn't want to know you much less love you this crazy!"

At the cafe, Anita and Dimas are still fighting. Dimas could not give any reason that Anita could accept because it was his own desire to embrace Dini.

"Now it's up to you, you can go after him if you want, as long as you never see me again and forget all that we've done the same, the same, I'll leave without having to make you responsible for what you've done to me!" anita is threatening. To be honest what he said was very risky, because if Dimas chose to pursue Dini, then he would really lose Dimas because of his own actions. But he also wanted to be firm on Dimas, he did not want to be silent Dimas still put a taste in Dini.

"I'm sorry baby, I'm really sorry!" dimas told Anita.

"I'm always sorry you're Dimas, even if you always repeat it again, I'm always sorry for you, but until 'when? until' when do you keep hurting me like a gini?"

Dimas just kept quiet and hugged Anita. He can't give any answers. In his little heart he desperately wanted to pursue Dini, but his logic spoke another. Dini is a newly known waiters and Anita is her fiance who is always loyal to her, it would be very wrong if Dimas had to leave the woman who already loves him sincerely for the sake of a woman who is new to him.

Some Dimas employees who witnessed it just pretended not to know it. They clearly saw that if Dimas were to embrace Early, it would be unfair if Dini had to leave the cafe because of that. Moreover, Dini is very good and diligent, they will be very sad if Dini really stops working at the cafe. But they can't do anything, they can only hope that Dini is okay at that time.

At the end of the crossroads, Andi walked alone with a handsfree hand attached to her ear. The old song that he played was very touching his heart, he was humming softly to the rhythm of the music of Derby Romeo song titled God Help.

Just as the song was finished, his eyes caught someone he knew very well, sitting at a corner of a street crossing by himself. He immediately ran to the girl. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, he felt that the girl was not okay at that time.

Andi stood right in front of the girl sitting down.

"Andi" he said with tears still dripping from both corners of his eyes that had been very swollen. He stood up and hugged Andi tightly.

"Why does it feel to still be sick? why can't I lose this feeling? I still love him Ndi, I still love, why is this reality so cruel Ndi? why should we who love and love each other be forced to part ways like this? why?"

Her tears wet the clothes Andi was wearing. The love in his heart had not gone away, the wound he harbored was apparently not able to be destroyed even though time had buried him so deeply. Love and wounds are eternal in his heart. The love that hurt her and the wounds she loved. They seemed to have found their place in the Early heart.

The crying of Dini in Andi's arms is so heartbreaking. Andi hugged him even more tightly despite simultaneously slashing his long-scarred heart.

I don't know what kind of love Andi has with Dini. His heart ached to see Dini with another man, but he was more hurt to see Dini crying like this in front of him.

He felt that he failed to protect the friend he loved, he felt failed because he could not make it happy, could not save him from the wounds that hurt his heart.

"Andi, why should Dimas Ndi? why not you? would I be this sick if you left me? what's it like to be like this Ndi?"

"You won't know Din's answer, because I'll never leave you" Andi replied by stroking Dini's hair.

"If I could love you as much as I love Dimas, I might not be this sick, me........"

Andi took off her embrace on Dini. He held both cheeks Early and looked at her deeply.

"I love you Din, I love you more than you know and I will never leave you, no matter how far you go, I will always be behind you, protect you, I'm your best friend that you can count on Din, whenever you need me, I'll always be there for you!" said Andi then kissed Dini.

"We're going home!" take Andi to Dini.

Dini nodded.

Andi clasped his hand so tightly, as if afraid of losing Dini.

Without them realizing, there was a pair of eyes that were watching them from earlier. A pair of eyes that looked at with a smile that was hard to decipher.

**************

The night still looks happy, stars scattered and the moon showing her sweet smile decorate the dark expanse of the night.

Dini sat on the balcony in front of her room, looking faintly at the moon and stars. His eyes were still puffy, his tears still welled up in his eyes and occasionally dripped away.

Seen dozens of calls and messages on his cell phone, but he paid no heed. His heart and mind were completely filled with pain at that moment.

On the other hand, Dimas and Anita were spending the night watching movies from a laptop. They're in Anita's room.

"Darling, can I ask you something?" ask Anita to Dimas.

"What do you want? the briefcase? the shoes? the jewels?"

"No, I didn't ask for that!"

"Then?"

"I'm asking you to take care of your heart for me, can you?"

Dimas smiled, answering nothing.

"If you go, my life is in vain Dimas, you have taken my most precious, I have nothing to defend, if you go me........"

"I'm not leaving" said Dimas, kissing Anita's forehead, leaning beside him.

"Can I trust you after what I saw?"

"I'm sorry baby, I'm not gonna do that again!"

Anita brought her face closer to Dimas and kissed him on the cheek. His lips shifted towards Dimas's lips, he kissed them slowly. But Dimas immediately pushed Anita's body.

"Udah malem, I have to go home!"

"Aren't you going to sleep here?"

"I have to go home baby, you sleep, love you!"

Dimas gets out of Anita's room and gets into her car and leaves Anita's house.

Logically, if the choice is right, what he does is right. But somehow his heart hurt, something hurt in his heart.

He recalled the Dini who was crying in front of him. Her cry was like a dagger that tore at her heart and feelings. There was an urge that made her embrace Dini just like that.

"why does everything feel weird, you why Andini? why is your cry so heartbreaking, sorry that I can't do anything for you, maybe with your departure from the cafe, it would be better for everyone, for me, make Anita and do it yourself!"

Dimas tried to justify his logic, though his heart refused. He was blind, not knowing what he should see right, whether his logic was right, or his heart was right?
