OPEN MARRIAGES

Part 48's

Dinda thought of Billy's words, as he leaned against the man's arm. He then intends to contact Rudi.

Just as Dinda was standing, Billy's cell phone rang. Billy greeted him.

Dinda noiselessly moved her lips, telling Billy that she wanted to take her phone.

Billy nodded, while continuing to talk to someone on the phone.

Dinda went into his room leaving Billy there. In her room, Dinda chatted whatsapp to Rudi, if she wanted to talk something. Without telling me when, or where to meet.

Dinda saw the chat was already blue tick, but there was no reply from Rudi. Holding her phone, Dinda walked back to the front porch, where Billy was still sitting.

Billy just disconnected his call, turned off his phone, and put it in his pants pocket.

Billy raised an eyebrow as if to ask, what was with Dinda who was running lethargic.

"I sent a message to Rudi, but he didn't reply..." Said Dinda. He sat down next to Billy. Although his body was there, but his mind went everywhere.

"Patience! Maybe he also thought about what to say to you again," said Billy.

"Eh, Dinda! A friend of mine called to meet. I gave you your address." Billy said before Dinda spoke again.

"I brought it here, because my head is still a bit dizzy, if you have to drive a car now. Pardon...! Don't be angry...?!" continue Billy pleading.

"Huh?" Dinda furrowed her brows. Why meet here, Dinda thought.

"You know drive your own car, still drink that much beer. Yes, more than you why-why on the road!" said Dinda asserted, rather than something bad happened to Billy on the road, considering Billy had had a can of beer.

It didn't seem like a problem, Billy was there anyway, Dinda thought. But Dinda was still upset, because Billy didn't ask permission first. He pinched Billy's thigh.

The man grimaced, but could still laugh.

"Sick look!" billy said.

"You again?" exclaim Dinda. He forms his finger like a crab claw, preparing to pinch Billy again. Finally he pinched the man's thigh again.

"Well! Forgive me! It hurts! It hurts...!" shout Billy.

They were both engrossed in joking around like a child while laughing, until they did not realize there were already a pair of eyes that were paying attention to their behavior.

" Heem..."

The laughter of Dinda and Billy stopped hearing that voice. They both saw someone who was already standing on the terrace floor.

Dinda's eyes were wide. He couldn't believe what he saw.

Billy stood up to greet the man. Both cuddle.

"This is Alex, my friend from Australia!" billy said with a smile

Dinda was still silent.

"We know each other" Alex said. The man smiled broadly at Dinda.

Billy furrowed his brows.

"Where do you know Dinda?" asked Billy who was surprised

"My friend Rudi brought him to my workshop back then" Alex replied.

"Dinda gave me your number" Alex told Billy.

"Oohs... Right so?" ask Billy to Dinda, make sure.

Dinda nodded.

It's a strange circle of coincidence.

Dinda hinted with her eyes at Billy, to go back to sit next to him. Billy sees it, then follows Dinda's cue.

"Sit down!" Billy said to invite Alex, when Billy was sitting next to Dinda.

Alex is in a chair. He picks the seat closest to the swing where Dinda sits with Billy.

"You're friends with Rudi? You never told me?" ask Billy

"Yes, Rudi was my high school friend!" said Alex. The man's eyes looked at Dinda.

"You and Dinda know since when? I think it's familiar!" ask Alex to Billy.

"Dinda and I used to be in High School. Until finally we split up because of different places in college," said Billy.

Alex kept looking at Dinda.

Billy is aware of Alex's attitude. He looked at Dinda. The girl looked agitated.

Billy can feel the scent of Alex's attraction to Dinda.

"You and Rudi are so lucky. You can meet Dinda before me" Alex said.

Hearing Alex's words, Billy became convinced by his conjecture.

"Minda! I'm going to the bathroom!" billy said

Dinda nodded.

Dinda walked first, followed by Billy from behind.

When he passed the front door, Billy pulled Dinda's arm to walk faster into the house.

"I think Alex is interested in you." Billy said when he felt his voice would not be heard by Alex outside.

"I already know, Rudi told me that time." said Dinda.

Billy's nervous. He regretted taking Alex to Dinda's house. When they were both in the kitchen. Billy paced in front of Dinda.

"Alex is a crazy guy!" billy said. He stopped pacing back and looked at Dinda.

"If you think I'm crazy for always trying to follow you, he's worse than that!" said Billy.

"I'm sorry...! I didn't think he'd be interested in you right away" Billy said.

Dinda looked at Billy. The man looked very worried.

Billy hugged Dinda.

"I'll take care of you, I won't let him bother you" Billy whispered in Dinda's ear.

"I'll take him away now!" said Billy. He took his arms off Dinda.

Dinda held Billy's arm.

"Are you still dizzy?" ask Dinda

"A little bit." said Billy.

"You don't drive!" said Dinda

Billy hit his head. He feels so stupid. This was because of his stupidity until Dinda got involved.

Dinda stopped Billy's actions.

"It's okay. Already been... You're here first!" said Dinda.

"You go ahead first! I'll catch up later, I'll get you some coffee for the two of you" Dinda said again

Billy walked out.

Dinda followed while carrying two cups of coffee. He then served the drink on the table. Dinda then looked at Billy.

Billy sits on the side of the swing close to Alex. The man set aside a place for Dinda beside him, so that there was a distance between Alex's sitting position and Dinda.

Dinda sat there.

Billy invites Alex to chat about things that have nothing to do with Dinda. He wants to distract Alex from Dinda.

Billy knew Alex for a long time. He knows the nature of the man. Alex must be turned his attention slowly, if until Alex feels Billy deliberately keep Dinda away from him, then Alex will grow desperate.

I don't know what Billy was afraid of Alex. Dinda doesn't care. Dinda was busy playing her phone.

The bright lights of the car illuminate Dinda's courtyard.

After parking in the yard of Dinda's house. Rudi got out of his car.

Rudi's face tensely looked at the two men who were there, but he acted like there was nothing.

Rudi saw Dinda who was originally sitting next to Billy, already standing looking at him with a gaze as if asking for protection.

Rudi walked towards Dinda. She hugged Dinda and kissed her lips.

Dinda was surprised by Rudi's actions, but she did not refuse. He returned the man's embrace and kiss.

Billy and Alex were only stunned by the scene.

Rudi stopped his kiss. He's holding Dinda. Then look at the two men who are still gawking.

"I want to be with Dinda for a minute! I'll join you again!" Said Rudi

Without waiting for an answer from Billy and Alex. Rudi brought Dinda in. Go straight to Dinda's room.

"I miss you!" said Rudi. He really didn't care about the two men, who were in front of Dinda's house.

Rudi kissed Dinda's lips gently. Rudi did not want to let go of his kiss, he satisfied the heart, which had not met Dinda for a few days.

It took a few minutes to pass, then Rudi released Dinda's lips.

"I thought you were still angry with me, until you called me at last" said Rudi.

"I was wrong." said Dinda.

"I was talking to Billy about us, he made me realize my mistake. Billy also advised me to talk to you. That's why I just called you... I'm sorry!" connect Dinda. The girl looked down.

Rudi was stunned to hear Dinda's words. Billy can compete with fair. She refocused on Dinda. He lifted Dinda's face and kissed the girl's lips.

"Let's talk again... Let's go ahead first!" said Rudi.

With confidence, Rudi brought Dinda to walk in front of the house while holding hands.

Rudi and Dinda sat next to each other. They are joined by Billy and Alex, who are still sitting there.
