Not an Ex yet
38. DATING AGAIN
Indi re-flowed tears without knowing the reason. His mind and heart really could not reach an agreement. When his mind refused to grieve, his heart continued to feel empty and lost which eventually caused the crystal grains from his eyes to stop.

“Dek...kakak want to talk dong. Can I enter yah?”
Andira enters the unlocked room of her sister. Indi was seen sitting on the floor beside his bed while bowing to hide his face between his knees bent.
Amrita and Bagas choose not to disturb her daughter, deliberately giving time to themselves. They know very well the habits of their children who will lock themselves in the room when sad, and will tell the problem without being asked when they feel calm.
“Why do you have to cry deck? Arvinnya has not left either. He's still here, you can still see, you can still hold. Then why do you even avoid him and waste the time you can spend together?”
Indi looked up at Andira. Listen to all the words of her brother and seek the truth of all those conversations.
Indi knew, everything her brother said was true. Maybe now Indi feels very sad because he will lose his best friend. But not loss in the real sense. They will only part for a few moments, some time and at most a few years.
Arvin has promised Indi that he will return again after completing his education in the country of people. An education that he must go through to become a great man who deserves to be proud.
“Although Arvin doesn't go to college here, you can still keep in touch. Today's technology is very easy to communicate. Itumah how do you set it. Long distance doesn't have to make you ex"
“What's former brother? We never dated kok” Indi turned his face. A little embarrassed
“Ya..former what cake. Former temen maybe?” Andira shakes both of her shoulders
“Indi also does not know brother, why Indi so sad when Denger Arvin want to go”
“Arvin is still here already like this. What if Arvin has gone far, kept years not met? Ck ck ck ck can moss lo if you continue to sit there”
“Cih. Indi is sad again, brother. Not entertain Indi but instead ngledekin continue” Indi pout
“Lagian lo anyway. You should be happy that Arvin left. Arvin left not to play, but to go to college, KU-LI-AH. Arvin has a good mind. Lo should support him, instead of making him dizzy ngliat lo sad. You should spend more time with Arvin, love him the beautiful memory of you. And try to find out if you are in the list of future plans, so.”
“Future plans?”
“When a man already has his future plans, usually he will work hard to make it happen. Including his dream life companion. And, if you are in his future plans, you should feel happy.”
“Why?”
“Hadeuuuh nih son. Plain what bego anyway?!” Andira pointed at Indi's forehead with her index finger
“If you have planned his future Arvin, means Arvin is trying to realize your dream. Dreams that you have an adult-minded companion, who can be a protector and a backup for lo.”
“Gimana find out kak?”
“Lo find out for yourself. Time should be sister also think”
“Cih. Not just single either. Lo himself said, if you are the same Arvin not dating”
“It seems Indi has someone nearby, not like a sister. Wlee...” Indi stuck out his tongue mocking Andira

“Hallo Ndi..”
“Ehem….Vin tomorrow you're busy?”
“Besok yes? I think not. Why?”
“Tomorrow to pick me up at home ya”
“Ok. But....lo go where?”
“Not me but we”
“Kita?”
“Lo want to go on a date with me?
For a moment there was no sound from the end of the phone. Indi bit her lip while waiting for an answer from Arvin.
“Vin. Lo still there? I didn't fall asleep?”
“Eh.iya Ndi”
“If you are busy, I am not pa...”.
“Ok. I'll pick you up tomorrow”
Not yet Indi finish the word he said, Arvin instead answered half-screaming, until Indi a little jumped in shock.
"Heh. Play directly hang up the phone, I haven't finished talking. " Indi grumbled
