Thank You for True Love

21 LOVE BIMO

At eight o'clock in the morning, Adit awoke from his advanced sleep. Sunlight has entered the room through the ventilation hole above the back door.

He saw Dinda who was still asleep beside him, his hand still hugging Adit's stomach.

Adit smiled as he continued to look at the face of his beloved wife. The face he wanted to see all the time. The face he always misses if for a moment they can not meet.

The face that always appears in his prayers. Yes, from the beginning of seeing Dinda, Adit has brought that face every time he prays. His heart did not choose wrongly. Now that face will always be at his side, because he has become his life partner, as his prayers have been.

He slowly lifted Dinda's hand slightly from above her stomach, so that she could pull her body up, and lean back. Then placed Dinda's hand on her thigh, so that the wife still feel hugged him. His hand stroked his wife's head gently and lovingly, as if he was having a little baby.

Adit grabbed his phone, briefly opened the news online today, then moved to open some incoming messages.

His gaze was fixed on a single message. From Bimo. Someone who met them yesterday in Bali.

A message from Bimo went into Adit's phone because indeed yesterday Dinda did not give her own mobile number, but Adit's mobile number. It's been going on for a long time, every guy asks for his cell phone number, and he doesn't really know him or feel uncomfortable, Dinda always gives Adit mobile number. And vice versa, the same thing was done by Adit. He will give Dinda's mobile number to a girl he thinks isn't important to him.

A moment to look at Dinda who was still sound, then Adit opened the message.

"Again, Dindaku. I still miss you like I used to." Adit let out a long sigh reading the contents of the message from Bimo.

He has not known what Dinda and Bimo have been in the past. As far as Adit is concerned, Dinda never had a love affair with anyone else before her, as she told Adit herself.

However, the message from Bimo indicates a relationship between Dinda and Bimo before, although he does not know what kind of relationship.

It's not Adit's name if he can't be calm. His maturity in dealing with every problem has been very tested. He never acted rashly or without control. His head was always cold in the face of all problems. Anger is enough to be stored in the heart, it never evaporated openly. The real action he did must have been thought through carefully.

Finally Adit decided not to reply to Bimo's message. He would wait for Dinda to tell him a story first, to find out what really happened between Bimo and his wife.

He believed in Dinda.

During the day after eating, Dinda finally began to open the story about Bimo on Adit.

"He's my schoolmate.., and he once declared his love for me..." They both sat in the back porch.

Adit listened quietly, no reaction whatsoever. His hand was embracing his wife's shoulder while occasionally giving her a gentle swab.

"You like her..?" Tanya Adit remained calm. Dinda shook her head quickly.

"No. I'm not even close to him. We're not one class" Dinda argued.

Adit smiled a little.

"Hhmmm.., love claps one hand.."

Adit is still calm and a good listener.

"Until the years changed, he still continued to pursue me, asking me to accept him.. More precisely force me.."

Adit turned to look at Dinda.

"Forcing..??"

"Yes, he threatened me. If I still refused him, he would act rude.."

"And his words weren't messing around.., he really did."

"She was indeed famous as a rather stubborn student.."

Adit looked at Dinda worriedly..

"What did he do to you, baby..??"

"When the breakup event at our High School, he suddenly forced me to follow his invitation to go out of the hall. In a class, he asked me to be his girlfriend again and I refused. He got angry and wanted to kiss me but I slapped him first. Unaccepting, she grew even more angry and hugged me forcefully. Finally, I..." Dinda broke the sentence.

Adit looks shocked by his wife's story..

"You're okay, right..??"

"I kicked hard at the core until he fell backwards in pain holding the point.. And I immediately ran out of the classroom asking for help.."

Adit chuckles at Dinda's last story.

"It turns out it's not just your mouth that's spicy, baby. But your hands and feet are also very spicy.." His hand stroked his wife's hair and kissed the tip of her head.

"That was the last time I met him, until finally yesterday we saw him in Bali.."

"And you felt uncomfortable when you met him yesterday.." Adit added as if he knew how his wife felt.

"What if he calls you again..?" Adit.

"I've forgotten everything all along.." Answer Dinda slowly.

Adit opened his phone, then showed a message from Bimo this morning to Dinda.

Instantly Dinda's face changed, looking anxious.

"Darling I'm afraid..." Dinda hugged Adit very tightly, her head buried into her husband's chest as if asking for protection.

Adit immediately retorted, hugging his wife's body tighter. They hugged for quite a while.

"Now and forever, there I am with you.." Adit held both of his wife's cheeks with his hands. Then he kissed Dinda with all his love.
