Rain Brings Love

SEVENTEEN

In a quiet and quiet room, with no sound other than the sound of the seconds of the clock, makes the breathing of the owner of the room sound clear. The clock shows at 12:00 pm but the eyes of the man, the owner of the room is still not closed.

The man laid his body against a window that was not covered by curtains, near the bed. Looking out the window and looking at the dark night sky.

The man, Dimas, was still silent and gazed outwards, letting his heart and mind drift about thinking about something.

Something that can make his heart a little hurt, something that makes him always imagine a story in the event.

Dimas was still thinking about what happened this afternoon, when he saw Dinda crying in fear and saw Mama Dinda who was very worried about Dinda, all because of the rain and memories of the past, a trauma.

Mass trauma that makes Dinda afraid and do not like the rain. A trauma that can turn the figure of a child who likes the rain into hate him, in just a moment.

"Gue didn't expect." Dimas opened his voice in the silence he made.

"Gue loves the rain, how can Dinda? Aish..is this a sign that I don't fit in with Dinda." Lirih Dimas, sad.

"But Dinda used to love the rain. If only it had never happened, maybe Dinda still likes rain today." Dimas turned his body into a supine.

"How is it." Dimas looked at the ceiling of his room while thinking.

"If for example I try to make Dinda to be able to like the same rain again, roughly it works not yes."

"Gue must try first, to know whether it works or not. But, I can't bear to see Dinda cry like that." Dimas closed his eyes, confused.

"Wait!" Dimas immediately opened his eyes.

"Remember the saying, get sick first have fun later. Is this a sign that Dinda must suffer pain first to be able to get a happiness?"

"The thing is I have to try first, don't give up before trying. If the results are not up to expectations, no problem, the most important thing is that I tried." Saying Positive Dimas.

"Gue will always protect you, Dinda. I'll make you not feel any pain anymore. Come on, Dim, you should be able to make him like it again the same rain." Dimas encouraged himself.

"If for example Dinda can like the same rain, it means she can also like me. And when he likes me, I'll express this feeling." A smile was etched on Dimas' face.

"You're very clever, Dimas." Happy words.

"Dinda, I'll make you like it again with the rain, I'll always make you feel safe and happy with me, I promise."

Dimas stood up, leaning himself against the wall near the school fence. Waiting for the arrival of Dinda, they will walk together to class.

At times Dimas glanced at his watch, and looked out of the gate for signs of Dinda's arrival.

"For a long time, but soon to enter." Said Dimas looking around the school area.

"Dimas." Call Lisa when she comes in, over the school fence.

"Hi, Lis." Sapa Dimas who was still leaning against the wall.

"Well, are you here? You want to guard the gate change Mr Satpam?" asked Lisa, laughing softly.

"Where is there someone as handsome as me guarding the gate. He was a prince of diistana." Said Dimas tidying his hair.

"Damf... So handsome you're a man." Lisa did not accept.

"Belgroff."

"Keep you doing here?" lisa asked curiously, ignoring her frustration at Dimas.

"Against the beautiful angel I passed by. There you go, just interrupt." Banish Dimas to Lisa.

"You're waiting for Dinda." Lisa held her laughter.

"Kok you can tell if my angel is Dinda?" ask Dimas confused.

"I'm not blind, Dim. It seems obvious that your attitude when you look at Dinda and talk to her is very different." Lisa explained.

"I'm free to hide." Dimas scratched his non-itchy hair.

"It's not good for you to hide it." Lisa Ledek.

"Yes, I'm not good." Dimas was embarrassed.

"Lu still want to wait for Dinda, here?" lisa asked ignoring Dimas who was embarrassed.

"Yes dong, I'll wait for him no matter how long." Lisa laughed at Dimas' words.

"Why are you laughing? There was nothing funny." asked Dimas puzzledly to see Lisa laughing.

"Geez, Dinda's already in class, Dim. So you're gonna wait any length of time here Dinda won't be coming, because she's already in class." Lisa immediately laughed loudly at Dimas' shocked expression.

"Huh? Seriously lu?" ask Dimas.

"Seriously, Dinda sent me a message that she was in class."

Lisa fiddled with her phone to open the messaging application and immediately showed the contents of Dinda's message to Dimas.

"See." Dimas brought himself closer to Lisa's phone.

"Well, if Dinda's in class why I'm waiting for him here, so long again." Said Dimas upset after reading a message on Lisa's phone.

"Hahahaha, it's your fault. Why don't you ask Dinda." Lisa laughed out loud.

"Laughter, until you're satisfied." Dimas was upset.

"But Lis, I'm asking you so much please don't tell Dinda this, I'm ashamed." Dimas continued to plead.

"How much do you pay?"

"Ah.. lu mah not cool." Dimas immediately stepped his feet away leaving Lisa with a feeling of annoyance and shame.

"Basic lash! rich girls." Lisa still laughed.

Lisa shook her head as she looked at Dimas' child-like behavior. Lisa runs after Dimas who has walked ahead to go to their class.

***

In a crowded classroom, Dinda is waiting for Lisa's arrival, she has sent a message to tell Lisa to come class quickly.

"Well, it'll be a minute, but why don't you come." Said Dinda was upset.

Seen by Dinda's continuous classroom door, hoping if Lisa quickly comes because the doorbell will soon sound.

"Come." Said Dinda begging.

After saying the word came, Dinda's eyes immediately caught the figure of Dimas who had just entered the classroom, Dimas who saw Dinda looking at him immediately bowed his head.

Dimas walked in with his head lowered, until when Dimas passed beside Dinda only glanced at him before he could stand himself.

"Dimas, what's wrong with you?" dinda asked confusedly looking at Dimas's behavior.

"It's okay." Dimas replied still down.

"Really?" Dimas just nodded his head.

"Haha." Lisa's laughter made Dinda and Dimas look straight at her.

Lisa kept laughing and made Dinda feel confused. Dinda looked at Lisa with a curious look, while Dimas saw Lisa was annoyed at her teasing.

"You why? that laugh?" ask Dinda after Lisa got herself in.

"It's okay." Lisa stopped laughing and caught her breath as she grew tired.

"You know what dong is, is something funny?" tanya Dinda was very curious.

Lisa just shook her head and looked at Dimas, as soon as Lisa's laughter reappeared, making Dimas even more upset.

"What's up, Lis?" Dinda was confused to see Lisa laughing again.

Dinda turned her gaze towards Dimas, as Dinda looked at Lisa who was laughing after looking towards Dimas.

Dimas who felt noticed by Dinda, immediately looked at him. They look at each other.

"He why?" ask Dinda on Dimas.

"Don't know." Dimas told a lie.

Dinda put on a lethargic face as she did not get an answer, Dinda turned her body facing forward.

Seeing that it made Dimas feel bad, Dimas immediately looked towards Lisa who was still cool laughing loosely.

Dimas gave a murderous look at Lisa, making Lisa instantly speechless upon seeing her. Lisa looked at Dinda as Dimas pointed at her.

Lisa embraces Dinda's shoulder and invites her to joke and chat together. Making Dimas smile happily at Dinda who was no longer lethargic.
