Mandatory Filled

Nine

Dina stepped towards her class listlessly. The thought of Om Nico's marriage to the woman continues to haunt his mind. As hard as he could, he did not shed tears.

That woman could be just joking. But Om Nico doesn't agree. Right, huh?

Yes, Dina has to implant it in her brain and she still has hope of having Om Nico as her life companion.

"Dina? Your face is very pale. Lo sick?"

The girl gasped at the question of Tika, her best friend. He was completely unaware that he had entered the classroom and was sitting in his chair. "Ah, why?"

"That, pale-looking face. Do you want me to take you to the UKS?"

Dina touched his face. "Gue didn't hurt, just wasn't perfect with liptin" he replied.

Tika nodded in confidence. "Gue wants to go to the cafeteria, you want to come, don't you?"

Dina shook her head weakly, since then she did not have the smell to put any food into her mouth. Somehow he felt nauseous when he saw the food presented in front of him.

"Okay, I'll go first."

After Tika's departure, Dina lays her head on the table. Ignoring the furore of his classmates. As hard as he dodged, there was still a sense of worry in case the woman's speech was true. Imagining Om Nico loving another woman—women who are far above her—makes her heart throbbing pain.

Slowly his eyes seemed heavy, he did not fight, but followed his body's desire to rest for a moment. He was tired physically and mentally. Sleeping is not a problem, right?

***

Slowly Dina opened her eyes. Not the head resting on the table as before he closed his eyes, but lying on a white mattress resembling a bed in the UKS room of his school. Wait, UKS?

"Dina? Are you awake? I should have taken you to the UKS just stretched your pale face. I don't want to be a friend!"

Dina silent does not respond. His brain is still dead, he tried to remember what he did before until it ended here and as he remembered he only fell asleep for a while, then—

"Kok I can be here anyway, Tik?"

"At first we were in class thinking that you were sleeping. If there is a teacher, I try to wake you up, but you do not respond. Even Mr. Rocky stopped throwing you with a whiteboard eraser, but you still did not wake up. That's where we know you're fainting."

Dina let out a weak sigh, she could have been unconscious.

"You still feel dizzy, or not feeling well, I can permit you to go home."

The girl seemed to think, even if she chose to stay, she sure would not be able to focus on the lessons and if she chose to go home, her mother would ask questions or be excessive.

"Gue's coming home, Tik."

"Okay, I'm gonna grab your bag and ask the picket teacher for permission."

"Thank you, Tik" he said, smiling sincerely at his best friend.

Hearing that Tika then turned around, hugging Dina tightly. "Gue's so afraid of why."

Dina then returned the hug was no less tight.

"Gue's fine because I have a friend who cares about me."

A moment later Tika took off their embrace. Swiping eyes that have not since when to glaze. "Lo can tell you if there's a problem. I'm ready to be a good listener" he said.

Dina shakes. "Not now, Tik."

After that, Tika returned to the classroom. Picking up Dina's bag also asked for permission so that her best friend could rest at home. Back, Dina was pensive on her own and with a sassy shadow Om Nico embraced fondly back into her mind.

"Gue has to ask himself Om Nico, I have to be sure if it's not true." Yes, Dina is determined to ask directly about Om Nico's relationship with the woman. He must be brave so that he does not continue to feel heartache.

Sure enough, when he arrived at the house Dina was examined various questions by his mother and casually Dina replied that he had just fainted at school. Then, neglecting all work, Sarah examined her daughter's entire body. He led Dina to her room and told her to rest.

"Ma, Dina is not pa-pa. I just accidentally fainted."

Sarah beat her daughter fat. "What did you say? Not intentionally passed out? You think you fainted like a pebble on the street? Are you sleeping, or want to eat something first?"

Dina shakes. "Dina brought a motorbike from school to home just don't why. You don't have to worry, and yes, Dina is not a laper. Dina wants to sleep now."

Sarah could only sigh deeply, still worried about the condition of her son. "Yes, you rest now."

Dina came back to her neighbor's house, this time not Nino as her mode, but Om Nico which became the main goal.

Dina had not had time to knock on the door, the sturdy object first opened from the inside, featuring two people who Dina did not expect her closeness.

"Dina?"

Instead of answering, Dina focused on the woman before her. The woman was clearly taller than him, prettier with a full chest making her look sexy as well.

"Om, can we talk to you for a second? Both."

"Good."

Silently Dina breathed a sigh of relief when Om Nico accepted without asking much. The man then led Dina away from the woman who until now did not know her name.

"What are you talking about?"

"He's really a wife-to-be? That woman?" He asked a little glance at the woman who was quite far away, but he knew the woman was watching them from there.

"Yes. We'll be getting married soon."

Deg.

Dina's heart was like being squeezed by an invisible hand, an immeasurable pain. "But since when? I mean, I've never seen him before. Om Nico didn't say anything about his previous marriage either."

"Do I have to report first to you? No, right? It's not that you're close to Nino, and then I reveal all my privacy, not Dina. You're just a stranger to me."

A stranger? So all this time, Om Nico only considered him a stranger? Not someone who means anything in his life, but why the treatment of the man seems to say he means something. It was as if Dina had a place in the man's heart.

For a few seconds, Dina was still shaking. He must not cry, at least in front of him the bastard who wretchedly held an important control in his heart.

"You came here to ask this? You shouldn't bother Dina, I'll send you an invitation to your house myself."

"Yes. Om Nico has to give you an invitation to the house. Btw, congratulations, Om. May the marriage run smoothly," she said imposing a smile on her face. Smile of sadness more precisely.

In make sure Dina will take out all the stock of tears that she has for later tonight. Why should his fate be this sad?
