OPEN MARRIAGES
Part 9's
Five months have passed since the accident happened to Dovi.
"Dina, Linda!" laura's voice surprised Dinda from her daydream.
"Eh, why are you here? Didn't you just say you were going to Eko's boarding house?" dinda asked while sipping ice boba.
"Not so. I went to the perpus, yesterday's assignment wasn't done yet!" laura said with a disappointed face.
Laura is a law student, just like Dinda. They met on the first day of college, and have been friends ever since.
Laura without aba directly drank the ice boba Dinda's
"Hmmm... delicious! I want to too!" said Laura
Dinda was just looking at Laura. This kid, he thought. Laura is a cheerful person almost the same as Mita, maybe that is also what makes Dinda easily able to get along with her.
"But! I want an ice boba one!" shouted Laura to one of the waiters who was busy serving visitors to the cafe which was quite crowded.
"Want a snack?" ask Laura to Dinda.
"Byeah" replied Dinda.
"But! The same chocolate ice cream pancakes are two?!" laura said to the servant who had already approached their table.
Laura took her mobile phone and started typing something on her screen.
"Eko wants to come here" Laura said
"You don't want to go home yet, do you, Din?" connect Laura.
"Yet. In a quiet house, there's only Inah's mom, my Papa's out of town," Dinda said.
Mama Dinda died two months ago, since then her father has been more busy working. Dinda understood his papa's feelings. He knew that his father wanted to turn his sadness and longing to Mama Dinda.
"Oh, okay then! You see, I'm actually not too excited to see Eko."
"Why? Don't tell me you're fighting again" said Dinda
"No, it's just a males again," said Laura. "I again came to the moon." continued Laura bluntly, whispering as she blinked one eye.
"My stomach hurts...!" laura's face was grim.
"Haha... Stomach aches or because you can't." said Dinda with a small laugh teasing Laura.
"Huuuuuuuuu!" Laura closed her mouth, with her index finger. He tells Dinda to stop talking.
Dinda laughs.
The ice boba and their snacks were arranged on the table. The two girls chatted while enjoying his order.
"Hi baby!" Eko appears arriving near the table.
The young man immediately approached and kissed Laura's cheek, without waiting for a response from her.
"Who is that, who is that?" laura asked after raising her face.
Two more young men came with Eko.
"Oh... That's my friend! this is Rudi and this is Maman!" eko said while introducing his friend.
"Can we join here?" eko asked while looking at Dinda's face.
"Please!" answer Dinda relax.
They chatted together at the cafe.
In between their conversations, a pair of eyes continued to watch Dinda. The young man often looked at Dinda, long ago.
They enjoyed their meeting until it was almost dark.
"I'll go back!" dinda said as she stood holding her bag.
"Oh, you want to go home... Want siantharin?" eko said offer.
"No need! I had my own bike with me" Dinda replied as she passed, and waved, leaving Laura and the others there.
Arriving home, mbok Inah opened the door.
"Non, want something?" mbok Inah
"No, mbok. I'm going to bed. Later if I'm hungry, I can take it myself in the kitchen," said Dinda.
The girl walked into his room.
Dinda put her body in bed. The bag was just released to the floor.
The girl remembered Billy.
Seeing Laura's affection with Eko made her feel very homesick with Billy. Her tears almost fell.
Dinda opened her phone screen. He saw Billy's short message that came in a few months ago. Dinda never paid it back. There is regret in him.
But he braced himself to forget Billy.
The distance between countries is quite far apart. He didn't want to be in long distance contact like that. He also no longer intends to go to Australia, since their separation at that time.
The love of the two of them is not that big, until they want to fight to stay together. Like now, just ordinary kangen, he thought.
Dinda opened a social media account and began reading the writing there until finally falling asleep.
Around ten in the night Dinda woke up. Stomach rumbling. Dinda rushed into the kitchen.
Seen grilled fish and vegetable soup that has been cooked mbok Inah, there is a dining table covered with food hoods.
After she finished eating she washed her dishes Mbok Inah like she was sleeping, thinking the girl did not want to trouble her aged domestic assistant.
Dinda stepped in her room again to take her phone left on the mattress, then returned to the tv room and relax there.
Dinda looked at the phone screen
"Why hasn't the phone been picked up? Dinda's asleep? If there's anything tell papa. Papa Darling Dinda" the contents of the message from her father have been in since two hours ago.
"Yes pa, Dinda fell asleep" Dinda typed in a reply. He glanced at the clock of the wall at eleven, at most now his father was sleeping. He canceled the message he almost sent and deleted it.
His eyes were then fixed on one of the messages with an unnamed number.
"Tomorrow, want to hang out together ? Momen"
Dinda was surprised, is this Maman Eko's friend who was ?
"Where did I get my number?" Dinda replied to the message.
Mobile phone screen on.
"I'm sorry, I asked with Eko earlier. don't be angry yes" said Maman.
"Oh, look tomorrow if I'm not busy with work" Dinda replied.
The girl doesn't care much, but she knows she has to have more friends, not to be too lonely since Billy, Mita and Dovi all left for Australia.
"Okey" replied Maman.
Dinda did not reply to the message anymore, but rather was cool to read the homepage of her social media account.
