Dini and Andi are still on the bench of the mini market. Joking and laughing together, telling a lot of things and occasionally remembering their childhood. They were like lovers who had not seen each other for a long time. The happy heart is clearly visible from both.
"You used to leave me for a long time!" andi said to Dini.
"When? Where's where?"
"I forget exactly what age, I also do not know where you are, which obviously for a few days we did not meet, mother said that you invited Ranti maam to your brother's house," explained Andi.
"I don't want to, am I still a kid?"
"My ears we are still small, have not entered Kindergarten instead, but with my intelligence I can inget all hahaha....."
"You forget who's always ranked 1st?"
"That's because I'm giving up on you Din, I'm afraid you cry if you're ranked 2 hehe...."
"Hmmmm, alesan!"
"But you really didn't want that time? you usually never want to be invited to go far with your mother, at that time you were just crying because I could not come with you, you did not want?"
Shut up for a few moments. He tried to dig up his memory of the incident but was unsuccessful. He remembered how he could not be far from Andi as a child. He even cried from morning until night when Andi had to go to his brother's house.
For him a day without Andi his life feels less. It's a little strange if Dini doesn't remember what Andi told her, because if it's about her separation from Andi, she'll definitely remember it because she can't be far from Andi at all.
"I don't want what Ndi is," replied Dini who finally gave up trying to remember the incident.
"Try inget deh Din, it's a few days we split, you know just a day we don't meet you already cry from morning until' malem!"
"Yes I know I can't be far from you but I don't want if I've been invited by my mother to your house, besides who is my mother's brother? I never told you the same thing about me!"
Somehow Dini felt there was a piece of memory that had been lost from her memory. He felt that something was strange, but he did not know what it was.
"Yes, it's been a long time ago Din, it's only natural that you forget!"
"No, I should have wanted to, I......"
"Not to be discussed again, you will ask your mother!"
Dini nodded then sipped a drink in front of her.
Biiiippp Biiippp Biiippp
Andi's phone rang, there was a message coming in from his class group. A funny video about a little boy playing in the rain that looks so heavy.
Andipun showed the video that made him laugh at Dini. Just a few seconds saw, Dini immediately rejected the phone that Andi was holding in front of him, making the phone almost detached from Andi's hand. As soon as Dini's face looked pale, she looked panicked.
"Din, what's wrong with you?"
He just nodded with an empty look. For some reason, he remembered the dream that haunted him every night. The pain was felt even until he woke up from his sleep and now his brain seemed to roll back all those events in detail. It seems like he cannot control himself.
The drops of rain drops were like hurting her heart and soul making Dini involuntarily shed her tears.
Seeing that Andi immediately put his phone back in and approached Dini.
"Here, why are you Din?" ask Andi who is now standing next to Dini.
Dini immediately pulled Andi's body and hugged her tightly. He was crying and gripping firmly Andi clothes made some people who were there turn towards Andi and Dini. Andi did not care about the eyes of others, he hugged Dini tightly. He felt guilty for showing the video to Dini.
"Twin yourself Din, there I am here" Andi said by rubbing Dini's back.
Dini still crying in Andi's arms. He did not even care where he was at the time, all he felt was a great fear and pain.
For a while they were still hugging each other with Andi who was still trying to calm Dini. After Dini's crying subsided, Andi's embrace slowly made her calm and comfortable.
Andi then released Dini from her embrace slowly.
"I'm sorry Din" Andi said by removing the remaining tears on Dini's cheeks.
Dini just nodded, she was still as excited even though she was no longer crying.
"We're going home now, okay?"
Dini back peeling. They both left the mini market and returned to the boarding house.
Along the way, Andi's hand never separated from the grasp of Early. Still looks frightened from the look of Dini's face, making Andi feel more guilty.
"i have to get rid of your phobia Din, I can't tell you like gini continues" Andi said in his heart.
Soon they arrived at the boarding place. Andi escorted Dini to go up to the second floor. Just as she was going up the stairs, Aletta came out of the kitchen.
"You're why Din" asked Aletta who saw Dini looking so pale.
"Later I'll tell you a story, I'm anther Early first," Andi replied by rubbing Aletta's hair.
Aletta simply nodded, letting Andi and Dini up. Aletta then sat on the terrace waiting for Andi.
In the room, Dini was still sitting with her head resting on Andi's shoulder.
"I'm afraid of Ndi" said Dini with a hand holding Andi.
"There's nothing you should be afraid of Din, there's me here."
Dini clasped Andi's hand. He did not want Andi to leave him.
"Is there something I don't know? the story is all the same I'm Din, don't you self-destruct your problems!"
"These few days I've had nightmares, every night they came with Ndi, they scared me, I could clearly understand all the fear and pain I had in that dream, even until I wake up I still mengerasain all that," replied Dini.
"Can you tell me about that dream?"
He stared at Andi for a moment. Andi smiled and brought Dini into his arms, trying to give Dini peace and comfort.
"I'm here Din, I'm always here for you" Andi said, rubbing Dini's back.
Slowly Dini began to tell all the details of her dreams to Andi. For some reason just by telling it he felt very emotional, his heart felt sore and tight.
Andi still hugged Dini, listening carefully to Dini's story about her dream. Her hand never stopped rubbing Dini's back, while one hand was clasping her hand tightly.
Unknowingly, her tears dripping down soaked Andi's hand. Realizing that Andi stretched her arms and wiped her tears.
"Relax yourself Din, nothing bad will happen while I'm here" Andi said trying to calm Dini.
Dini just saw the rain video and it already made her so emotional.
"Din, are you sure you don't want to see a psychologist?"
Dini shook her head in Andi's arms. He was like a spoiled child to his father at that time.
"Why? assume the psychologist is your friend, you can tell me anything and...."
"I don't want Ndi, I can't tell you about my problems with strangers, you know that!" dini said annoyed by releasing herself from Andi's embrace.
"Yes yes, I know, I'm sorry," Andi replied by pulling Dini's hand but Dini refused.
"You're like Dimas!"
"Don't be called dong Din, I'm the same Dimas as you for your good" Andi replied.
"I don't need a Ndi psychologist, why can't you guys understand me anyway!"
Andi took a deep breath and exhaled it quietly. Andi then shifted her sitting position to get closer to Dini and hugged her. Although Dini initially thrashed and refused, Andi still hugged Dini until Dini finally gave up and let Andi embrace her.
"Din, I love you so much, you don't know how worried I am about you when it rains, I just think of you Din, are you good, are you alone, are you alone, are you afraid, are you sad, I want to always be on your deck but I can't, I want to be sure you are always good and the way that I know only this, I know, get rid of your phobia with the help of a psychologist" Andi said with full emphasis on every word he said.
"But I don't want to tell the story of my problems with other people Ndi," replied Dini in a soft voice.
"I'm not going to mean you, but you have to promise to always tell me the same story, whatever it is!"
Dini nodded.
"Yes, I promise, but you don't get mad anymore!"
"I'm not angry, when am I angry?"
"You should be angry!"
"No, I just want you to know how unfortunately I'm the same as you!"
"I know and you should know how much I'm the same as you!"
Andi smiled and rubbed his hair.
"Ndi, do you want me to know when I'm a phobia of rain?" ask Dini.
Andi shakes.
"As far as we are small, you don't like to play with the rain and......"
"wait, don't like it doesn't mean fear, right? yes, Dini was not afraid of the rain, she just did not like playing in the rain, but suddenly she became anxious and frightened every rain fell since she came out of the hospital, yes since he went to his mother's sister's house and ended up in the hospital, after which he began to fear and faint every rain," Andi recalled the events of his childhood.
"And what's Ndi?" dini asked curiously because Andi hung his words.
"No, it's nothing, you're sleeping, it's too bad!"
Dini released herself from Andi's embrace and stood up.
"You want Aletta's nyamperin?" ask Dini.
Andi then stood up and moved his feet closer to Dini, making Dini take a few steps back until he was cornered into the wall.
Their eyes stared at each other, millions of feelings that could not be revealed radiated from the look of Andi's eyes that could not be read by Dini.
They stood at a very close distance. Both heartbeats begin to beat rapidly. They stared at each other amid nervousness and an uncontrollable heartbeat.
"You jealous?" andi asked, still staring into Early eyes.
Either getting a boost from nowhere, Dini nodded just like that making Andi a little surprised.
"No, no, I mean. I'm not...." Dini soon realized from a situation that felt strange to him at that time. He then pushed Andi's body away from him.
"You jealous?" andy repeated his question.
Dini shook her head quickly and pushed Andi's body out of her room.
"No, no, go out!"
Andi just chuckled at Dini's attitude. He did not immediately leave the room. Seeing Dini who looked wrong behavior made her even more adorable in Andi's eyes.
"Go Ndi, Aletta wait for you!" say Dini by still pushing Andi's body.
Andi quickly pulled both of Dini's hands and grasped them, making Dini unable to prevent herself from toppling forward, making her fall over Andi's body.
Early dropped his head right on Andi's chest, making him able to hear clearly Andi's heartbeat. For a while they were silent to each other.
Andi still held both hands Early. He could only stare at the sky without moving. His heart no longer looked normal. It's so fast and uncontrollable.
"i know this love is beautiful Din, I know this love is always here until anytime and I know I will not be able to reveal this to you," Andi said in his heart.
He remained silent in his position. Listening clearly to the heartbeat that is beating rapidly.
"if one day I go, will you hold me like you hold Aletta? or did you let me go because you already have Aletta? I don't know what I feel right now, I know I'm always comfortable and calm with each of you, I don't want to be selfish, but my heart is always selfish, my heart selects Dimas without you leaving, "inwardly in my heart.
Andi then released both of Dini's hands slowly. Realizing that, Dini immediately stood up, as did Andi.
"You... You're not papa?" asked Andi who arrived feeling awkward.
Dini nodded.
"I'm not papa," Dini replied with an awkward smile.
The feeling in their hearts left an awkwardness they did not want. Either the feeling of a friend or someone who loves each other.
"Mmmm.. I go in first," said Dini.
Andi nodded. He then approached and kissed Dini.
"I go down first" said Andi.
Dini nodded. Andi then stepped away with an occasional look back. There Dini still standing in front of the door of her room saw Andi who was getting further and further away.
Without them knowing, a pair of eyes witnessed the incident. The moment Andi clasped Dini's hand and they fell down until Andi kissed Dini's forehead and left.
