OPEN MARRIAGES
The Part 32
Early in the morning Dinda woke up. Billy has disappeared. The man woke up first.
Dinda looked around, she didn't see Billy's nose.
Dinda went to the bathroom. He should be ready to go to the office.
After taking a shower, Dinda opened the closet door.
Yesterday, Billy said there were clothes he could wear. These are all men's clothes, thought Dinda.
Dinda snorted, then she opened the closet door on the other side.
This time there were a lot of clothes for women.
Dinda chose a knee-length shirt and skirt. He tried it and it was perfectly sized on Dinda's body.
On a whim, Dinda tried another pair of clothes. Same, the size fits Dinda.
Dinda shuddered in horror. Is this all Billy's been planning or just a coincidence.
Dinda realized that if she had to hurry, the journey back to the city took a lot of time. He did not think much about the clothes.
Dinda swept the thin powder onto his face. Her red lips were only smeared with glossy neutral lipgloss.
Just as Dinda stepped out of the room, Billy was already standing at the door.
"God! Hmljhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Dinda rubbed the chest, the feeling of the heart as if to be dislodged.
"Where are you going?" ask Billy.
"Do you need to ask again?" said Dinda
"I have to go to work!" resounding
"Wait a minute, I'll take you!" said Billy.
The man walked into the room. He took a small bag from the drawer, then took Dinda away.
Billy is no longer pale. The man looked fresh. Last night, a few times, the fever appeared. Dinda looked at Billy's driving face.
If he calms down, Billy's face becomes more handsome. As if not aging, it is still interesting in Dinda's eyes, just like the time SMA used to be.
I realized that Dinda was staring at him. Billy glanced at Dinda.
"Why? A handsome?" ask Billy with confidence.
Dinda's cheeks are flushed. He was ashamed to be found looking at the man.
"No!" said Dinda
"I'm just wondering if you've had a bath yet" Dinda gave an excuse
"Already dong yaa, I took a shower while you were sleeping earlier!" answer Billy.
This time Billy seemed more relaxed. Almost back to the initial attitude first when Dinda just knew him.
Seeing Billy like that, Dinda felt calmer when near Billy. Dinda doesn't feel as tense as she has been these past few days.
"Eh, you got your medicine?" ask Dinda
"There's... Uhuh!" Billy pointed with his eyes, the little bag he was carrying.
Along the way, Billy and Dinda can chat lightly and joke.
Dinda who had thought about asking about the clothes in the closet earlier, finally she just forgot about it.
Billy drops Dinda off at the office parking lot of the girl's workplace.
Billy always takes a chance. She hugged Dinda and landed her kiss on the girl's lips.
"For good luck!" said Billy.
Dinda then continued her original goal, going to work.
***
Tumben once thought Dinda, today her work is not as crowded as usual days, as if giving an opportunity for Dinda to take a lunch break with Rudi.
Dinda knew for sure, Rudi wanted to listen to his explanation.
Dinda contacts Rudi.
It did not take too long to wait, Rudi's car had arrived at the parking lot of Dinda's office.
Dinda went with Rudi, leaving the place.
"I'm sorry I didn't get to tell you yesterday, when I left. Not accidentally meeting Billy who's sick, he's a client in my office. There was no initial plan to take care of him" Dinda said, between meals.
Dinda actually wanted to be frank with Rudi, but she was scared. Obviously Rudi would be very disappointed if he knew the truth was happening.
Inevitably Dinda kept it a secret from Rudi.
Dinda felt like an asshole.
As long as he was in contact with Rudi, not once had he lied to the man. Since Billy came back in his life, Dinda has been unable to be frank with Rudi several times.
Dinda felt very guilty.
Rudi heard Dinda's story. In his heart there was a hint of suspicion, but he brushed it away. He thought that if Dinda wanted to, she could have said that she was somewhere else and not admitting that she was looking after a man.
Rudi believes in Dinda's love for her.
Rudi was calm, listening to Dinda speak.
Rudi's calm nature is a plus, why Dinda loves the man. Dinda always felt comfortable near Rudi.
In Dinda's heart was very upset, why Billy had to appear when he was happy with Rudi.
Dinda has reduced her appetite. The food is not eaten, there are still many leftovers on the plate.
"Why? You sick?" asked Rudi when he saw Dinda who looked lethargic
"No... Just a lack of appetite!" said Dinda.
Even though Dinda said so, Rudi did not believe it just like that. Dinda's face was a little pale.
Dinda insists she's fine.
When Rudi drove Dinda back to the office, they agreed to meet again at Dinda's house, later after work.
Both return to their jobs at work.
Work hours are not over, Dinda's head feels very heavy. Dinda felt a little dizzy. Dinda looked at her face in the mirror. His face was red like a boiled crab. He put his hand on his forehead.
I have a fever, Dinda thought.
Dinda asked for permission to go home early. Fortunately, his boss was willing to understand, it also happened that the work that Dinda had to do was not too dense.
Dinda forced herself to drive home.
Dinda did not want to bother Rudi who was working, so she did not tell the man that she was sick.
He runs his car slowly. Let it be slow, which is important to get home, he thought.
Dinda arrived home safely, although her car had slightly grazed the fence.
Dinda was dazed but still took the time to look at her car.
Fortunately, it was just scratched. Dinda didn't want it until the car broke down. The car was bought by Papa as a gift for him, just the day before his father died.
