Thank You for True Love

24 APOLOGIES

Sunday morning, Adit and Dinda were ready to leave. Today they plan to spend time outside the home. All right to take Dinda to Bimo.

"Are you ready to meet him?" Ask Adit to make sure.

Dinda nodded her head.

"Don't you say he's not the old Bimo anymore..?" It was Adit's turn to nod with his smile.

"You don't meet as teenagers anymore. Let's just say you're having a reunion."

Adit's car drove away from home. Their first goal was to meet Bimo. Only after that they will spend the rest of this vacation time by having fun together.

Half an hour later they arrived. At the same cafe where Adit and Bimo met yesterday. The two of them got out of the car and joined hands to walk towards the entrance of the cafe.

From inside the cafe, still in the same corner as yesterday, Bimo who was already sitting waiting, noticed the couple walking hand in hand and occasionally throw each other a smile full of love.

Bimo smiled at the view outside the cafe. From inside his heart, he expressed a feeling of happiness.., happy to see the person he had loved was also so happy, even though not with him.

A moment later Adit and Dinda arrived before Bimo.

"Good morning, Dinda, Mas Aditya.." Sapa Bimo was friendly. Then let them both sit down.

"Sorry, I'm waiting at the outside table. You guys please talk first." Adit politely declined. He gently rubbed Dinda's head and smiled which Dinda also replied with a smile.

Then Adit stepped out of the cafe, took a place on the terrace of the cafe, sat back against the glass cafe. He deliberately sat facing out, so that Dinda and Bimo would be free to talk, without having to be watched by him.

After ordering a drink, he was busy with his phone, replying to a message with his assistant discussing preparations to start entering work again tomorrow.

Meanwhile, inside the cafe, after Adit passed Dinda immediately sat down, facing Bimo. A little awkwardly he greeted Bimo who was still smiling at him.

"How are you doing now?"

"As you can see, I'm fine." Bimo sumringah replied to Dinda.

"It's just my heart that's not okay.." Suddenly his face changed. Dinda was stunned to hear it and had seen the change in the look of Bimo's face.

But at once Bimo realized his words, then continued..

"Oh.ehh, sorry, forget what I said. It's not what you think it is. Please don't misunderstand." Bimo immediately put on a calm face with his smile back.

"It looks like we can't linger here. Your husband is waiting in front too." Bimo tried to start the conversation.

"Dinda, I just want to apologize to you." Bimo directly on the point of destination.

Dinda was still listening to Bimo.

"I'm sorry for my bad attitude towards you first. I'm sorry if I was too disrespectful at the time. Please forgive all my mistakes first. The fault of a selfish delinquent teenager, who always wants to be obeyed, who arbitrarily to anyone even to his loved ones as well..."

Until the last sentence, Bimo ventured to look at Dinda's face which was still silent and continued to look at her.

And their eyes met, silent to each other.

Bimo took advantage of the opportunity to stare fixedly at the face of the woman before him. The woman he loved, he loved so much.

In the past, he just thought he liked the pretty girl and wanted to have her, that's all. Without him realizing it, when time had separated them, he still kept that liking, he said, the longer it took him to miss and finally he only realized that he had fallen in love with the girl, a love that was too deep that he could no longer lose from the bottom of his heart.

While Dinda was, she still could not believe that the man before her was currently Bimo. Bimo who was once a teenager with a headscarf, who always wanted to be alone, who often skipped lessons even though he came to school.

Bimo who became a subscription is called BP teacher, because every day there is just a troublemaker in the school environment. As Dinda knows from her friends' stories, Bimo is actually a kind-hearted child. He just lacks the affection and attention of his parents who are busy taking care of their business abroad.

Now in front of Dinda, he saw another Bimo figure. Now he saw a Bimo who was already a grown man, a kind word, a calm demeanor, no more angry and hard-hearted gurgles on his face. Time can change a person, whether it's for the better or worse. And it seems that time has also changed Bimo is now a much better person.

"I just don't remember any of that. But if you apologize for it, of course I forgive.." Dinda replies to Adit's apology to him.

"I'm also sorry if I was wrong with you or made you angry. I also apologize for my rude actions first."

Bimo half laughed at Dinda's words. He remembered the tragedy of their last meeting.

"Hahahaa.., your slap and kick seems to be

still feels right now.."

Dinda let out a small laugh considering the incident.

Some time when the awkward atmosphere between them turned melted, dissolving in a bit of laughter discussing the old school days.

Almost an hour passed, Bimo finally took the initiative to end the happy meeting.

"Emmm.., looks like we've been here long enough. I feel bad about your husband if I hold you back any longer.."

Dinda understood Bimo's intentions. He immediately took his phone from inside the bag. Then send a message to Adit.

Adit who was outside immediately stood ready to go to pick up his wife.

"You're done?" Ask Adit after arriving at the side of Dinda's seat.

"Yes.." Dinda nodded her head. He immediately got up from his seat, followed by Bimo who also stood in his place.

"Thank you for the time. Thank you Dinda. Thank you so much Aditya for letting me meet your wife. Sorry to bother you and trouble you." Bimo sincerely said as he extended his hand towards Adit.

Adit smiled and nodded his head, welcoming a helping hand from Bimo.

Bimo's gaze moved towards Dinda. His hand went out to Dinda.

Dinda who saw him turned towards Adit. After Adit nodded his head, Dinda looked back at Bimo and received a helping hand with a raised smile.

Instantly, something warm flowed from Bimo's hand when he touched, shaking Dinda's hand. The warmth spread to his heart, accompanied by a loud thump in his chest that made him a little nervous.

Dinda let go of his hand first and Bimo soon mastered the situation, giving his best smile to let go of Dinda and Adit.

He was still standing fixated, staring at the two who passed from before him, getting further away leaving him back alone.

"Thank you, my daughter. Thank you for this precious opportunity for me. Meeting you again is one of the best memories at the end of my story. Being able to be close to you for just a moment is the best happiness I get after all the time I've been shackled in pain without you being with me." Bimo still continued to smile and enjoy everything that had just happened.

"Be happy, my mother. Your happiness is my greatest happiness. Your happiness I will always remember in my heart and take with me wherever I go. I love you and will love you forever. I will take this love story with me. I'll carry this love until I close my eyes."
