PREDESTINATION

PREDESTINATION
declares



Mr. West has forbidden me to return to his office. That's because there are people who report to him. We also have to follow the will of the West.


I haven't been to Dika's office for two months. It was Dika who often came to my house and picked me up when he wanted to take me out of the house to eat with him.


"Love, said the West sir, my office now wants to move to a new place" said Dika when we ate dinner at our subscription chicken shop.


"Moved? Move where?"


"Move in the area too. Not far from that old place"


"Why did he move?"


"Don't know either. Said the West sir the rent was expensive. So because it moved to find a cheap place" he said again.


"Oh so, so when's the move?" Ask Dika.


"His words at the end of this month. Because the rent in the office is now up at the end of this month"


"Oh, did you get your place?"


"Oh yeah, but his house's in for two. In the back of the house people and the front of her in rent for the office" explained Dika.


"Oh that"


"You wanna go see where my new office is?" Ask Dika.


"Oh yes, but late. I don't want to stop by later on said not-not the same person there anymore" I said again.


"Yes, we just pass there. To see the office alone" said Dika.


"OKAY. After eating yes"


"Yes dong love. There's no way we'll be there before we finish eating" Dika said, smiling at me.


We went to Dika's new office to see where the office was located.


***


"Here he loves my new office" said Dika showing his new office as we passed by the office.


"Cock the mood is a bit blurry huh. It's a little creepy" I said.


"Yes, maybe because the lights aren't too bright. Later after changing the lights it must not be like this atmosphere" said Dika again.


"It could be like that" I said again.

Sunday Dika and Pak Barat were busy with lifting all the equipment in the old office to his new office. Today they moved to a new office. While me and my family went to Siak to attend our brother's wedding there.


After we finished attending the event, we went to a historic place in the city. As in the palace of Siak, Singapore garden, and others.


On that day, Dika and I never communicated with each other. Because I know he's busy and I am too. We lost contact all day.


***


"Daily no news from you makes me miss" Dika told me at night.


Well me and my family have arrived at the house at five this afternoon. We left early in the morning for Siak and returned home in the afternoon at about three. Well the time to travel in the city of Siak if using a motorcycle is almost two hours. It depends on the speed that it carries.


"She intentionally didn't bother you. Because I know you're busy moving into a new office" I said.


"Yes, so tired of love all day does not stop lifting things"


"Emang you and the West sir who took care of the stuff"


"Not really, there are also people here helping us. But still also tired of having to clean up the items that have been brought here" said Dika again.


"Yes, at least your work is also helpful. Although not entirely"


"Yes love. Oh yeah how did going to Siak was good? No one's teasing you, right there?" Ask Dika.


"Awhile you're asking like this for fear of losing me, or for mocking me?"


"I'm afraid to lose you is love. I made fun of you"


"If you're afraid of losing me, will you now be able to choose between me or your lover?" Ask me. I intentionally went back to talking about it.


"The two of you mean the same thing to me for love"


"So selfish and greedy are you people"


"Love don't judge me like that. Honestly, my current situation is wrong"


"Well, whatever's important I can only say if I'm tired don't call me back" I said.


Dika did not reply about my short message earlier. I also don't know why, if he was busy making a sailing permit or indeed deliberately not in reply.


I can only sigh heavily.


"Yes it's up. I'd better get some sleep" I said, not thinking about it again. Well I know Dika's answer just like always. I just wanted to test it.


It turns out that what I think is true there is. That Dika will definitely not be able to choose between me and her lover.


***


I rubbed my eyes as my alarm went off with the sound of her babbling sometimes startling me but I can be sure I will miss that sound.


"Let's wake up what time it is. Not today is Monday. And you'll have an apple in your office later. Later you will be late again" said my mother in the morning.


"Yes, I'm awake" answered me again. I sat on my bed trying to bring back half the lives that had not been fully accumulated.


I grabbed your phone to see what time it was. But I was distracted when I saw Dika's message last night. Well it turns out that guy gave me a short message last night. I opened a message from Dika.


Because I did not reply to a message from her because I had slept, Dika also sent a short message back to me.


"Have slept love. Good night, I am present in your beautiful dreams" he said.


"I don't think he's replying to my message anymore. It turns out in his reply" I said in my heart while smiling to myself.


"No, I didn't get up and take a shower. Even keep playing the phone while smiling alone again" Reproved my mother surprised me.


"Yes buk, it's I want to take a shower" I said. Rushed out of my bed and took a shower.


***


"It's neat, it's fragrant, Now it's time to go to the office" I told myself.


"Eh, but do I have to call Dika ya to build her up this morning?"


"Ah I better be guaranteed him first. The story is I'm still mad at him" I said again.


"Oh, I go to the office first yeah" I kissed my mother's back hand.


***


"When you're awake yet? Who knows, Mr. West or the head of the office suddenly went to his office. They moved to a new office. Well who knows if they want to see the new office" I told myself.


I reached into my briefcase again to contact Dika that morning. And well as usual, once, twice haven't even picked up a phone from me.


"Oh Allah why is this a child if it has the hardest sleep to wake up" I said again. Every day I build it from sleep. You can count how many times he woke up. My word. Go back to dial her phone number and call her.


"Hallo" came back a heavy voice from across there.


"It's hard to get connected. Wake you up, it's hard what time it is, let's get up" I said.


"You're trying to sleep, don't get up late at night so you don't have bad luck" I said.


"The client is love. But what is my power because these eyes can not support me fast sleep Well at the earliest also twelve o'clock at night"


"Well, how to sleep fast try if the phone is always in your hands"


"Yes, the love. But how else, this is my only entertainment here"


"Yes, I went to shower there. Who knows if the West will go there with the head of the office. You guys just moved his office. Well how do you know the head of the office wants to see your new office" I said again.


"Yes love. Here I want to take a shower" Dika said ending our short message that morning.

Almost half a month Dika was in his new office. My cousin and I went to Dika's office to drop her some food. The man had a fever at the time. Obviously I was worried about him. So I asked my cousin's sister to accompany me to Dika's office to give me food and medicine. Thankfully, today is Sunday so I am off work.


"This is eating first, after that take the medicine yes" I said.


"Want me a bribe?" Ask me. I immediately feed Dika a meal after it gives her medicine. From the morning my cousin and I were in that office. Because Dika's head still feels dizzy when brought up. So if a ship agent asks for a sailing license, I'll make it.


But fortunately, that day no agent asked to make a permit to sail. So I don't need to make that and Dika can rest in peace. My cousin and I let Dika rest. Until the time shows at two in the afternoon. Dika also woke up from his sleep.


"Away awake?" I asked him to see Dika approaching us at his desk.


"Yes love. Thank you for the love. Now I feel a little bit confused"


"Yes alike. Now you have lunch. It was bought food for you" said I pointed to the rice pack that cousin's sister bought earlier for our lunch.


"After eating you take the medicine again so that the fever in your body quickly disappears"


"Yes love" said Dika, immediately aware of the food bought by my cousin's sister earlier for him.


"Are there any ship agents asking for a sailing license today?"


"Nothing, but there's no profit either. If there is I also do not know how" I said grin.


"So her word knows and with her confidence says it can"


"Well, I can, I'm afraid of being wrong. Well his name is also a document for the state" I said again.


"It's the same that it can't" said Dika smilingly looking at me. I also returned with a shy smile.


"Oh, why are you awake? Are you feeling better?"


"It's love. My fever is like it's getting better. It's me again. Thank you for your attention to my love. Not just a wife, you are so attentive to me. What else has become your wife later" said Dika.


"Ah you could have. Don't praise me so much. I'll fly you"


"If you fly, then let me catch it and I lock it in my heart so you can't get away from me" said Dika sounding floundering.


"Oh, start the dreadlocks. I who is single can only watch the musical plays of these women" said Siti.


"Hehehe sorry yes deck, while there you are here we are thought to do things that are not. What else when you don't have a deck" I said again.


"Huh? What does big brother mean?"


"Yes, we're on deck reprimand. Brother is forbidden to come to Dika's office because of his words we do things that are not. Though if the brother is in this office in the old circumstances must have brought you or was pounded by the brother of Uti" I explained.


"It's weird too, brother. Yes, because that's the truth we can not stay in this office for long. But because Dika is sick again yes we have to be here for a while" I said again.


"That's it, brother. Strange as well, brother"


"Yes deck, hair can be just as black but the hearts and minds of people no one knows ya deck"


"Yes, we've gone home and it's five in the afternoon. Dika also seems to be getting better. We're not going home"


"It's okay love. Thank you" said Dika. Siti and I went straight home. Not yet half way, we were talking to Dika's lover. Well the Fida came alone to his office Dika.


"Goodbye, that brother opened the Fida yes. What's in here? Alone too" Siti said.
