Inside his room, Adit was still busy checking some of the shipping documents he had just received from Andi.
Time has shown at eleven o'clock in the afternoon. He just remembered if this afternoon he promised to have lunch together at the cafe Dinda.
He immediately contacted Andi with an office phone at his desk.
"Mas Andi, in fifteen minutes we leave for the booth. I finished the document that was just delivered to my room."
Adit hangs up the phone and resumes his remaining work.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen of the cafe, Dinda and Rinaya are also busy preparing their dishes for lunch together.
Elisha was not seen there because he still met the supplier in his room. Farrel had just arrived and was waiting for Elisha on the second floor.
Half an hour later, all were gathered in front of Dinda's room with two large tables that were made into one and surrounded by six paired chairs.
"It is rare to be able to assemble completely like this." Elisha said as he prepared their drink.
"Aren't you the one who skipped a lot, Sa?" Timpal Adit looked at Elisha and Farrell at the same time.
"Hehee.., yeah. That's it, sir husband used to still hesitate to be invited to gather here.."
Farrel simply smiled in embarrassment at his wife's frank remarks. He was indeed a quiet and shy man, in contrast to the cheerful and very crowded Elisha.
"From now on don't worry anymore, Rail. We are all like brothers. It's good we already know each other. Even the worst of her behavior was still Elisha.." Dinda added again.
"Why do I keep getting hit? Hows.. Replace Rinaya with her prince."
"I why? I'm fine.." Rinaya answered casually while taking drinks for Andi.
"If it's fine hunting to the penghulu, let our status is all the same.." Challenge Elisha to tease Rinaya and Andi.
"Who's afraid!" Reply Rinaya coolly and turn towards Andi beside her.
"Soon, Sa. It must be you guys we told you the earliest." Add Andi who makes all surprised and excited especially Elisha.
"Are Andi and Rinaya really getting married?" Ask Adit.
"Yes, mas Adit. Just started the preparations. Just pray everything's good."
"Hey, Rin. The royal wedding princess and the prince want to marry!" Elisha was excited while Farrel only looked at everything with a smile.
"Mas Andi, Rin, if you need any help, let us know yes, we're ready to help." Dinda seemed very happy to hear the happy news.
"Yes, Din." Andi and Rinaya compactly replied together.
After the talk of Andi and Rinaya's wedding plans was over, the six of them immediately enjoyed their lunch.

After returning from the musholla, Adit, Andi and Farrel again talked at the table again, while waiting for their respective partners who were still busy cleaning up the kitchen affairs.
The ringing of the phone in Adit's pocket stopped his chatter. He opened his phone in Dinda's room.
A call came in from Bimo's number which was still stored in his cell phone contact. With still wondering in his heart Adit immediately shifted the green button and brought the phone closer to his ear.
"Hello.."
"Yes, hello. Sorry is this Dinda's number? Dinda's Bimo's friend?" The voice of the woman across there pitched in a hurry and panicked.
"Oh yes, right. I'm her husband."
"Sorry, can I have time to talk to Dinda? My sister.., Bimo.., she's critical and wants to talk to Dinda.." Stammered the woman who turned out to be Bimo's older brother said with a breath that sounded heavy by Adit.
Critically? A bimo? Adit doesn't understand the meaning of the woman across the call.
"I beg you, the doctor said the time is not much.. At least grant her last request to speak to Dinda.." The woman's voice was begging.
The sound that had been mixed with sobs made Adit act quickly and immediately came out to call Dinda to enter his room.
"Wait a minute, I'll call Dinda.." Adit asks to wait until Dinda comes with a confused face.
"Someone's looking for you.." That's all Adit said.
Dinda at a glance read the name listed on the screen Adit phone. A bimo? He turned his head towards Adit who was immediately replied with a nod of his head.
"Hello.."
"Dinda, I'm sorry to go straight, I'm moving to a video call yeah, Bimo wants to talk.." Bimo's brother's voice sounded and before long the screen of Adit's phone that Dinda was holding had already changed the video call mode, and before long, the screen of Adit's phone that Dinda was holding had changed, where is seen a man lying very weak with a lot of medical equipment installed on his pale body.
"The bimo..." Dinda muttered in disbelief.
Adit helped her sit down and positioned her phone leaning against the pile of books on Dinda's desk to make it more free to talk.
"He's sick, this is his last wish.." Adit whispered in Dinda's ear making his wife surprised instead of playing.
Adit took another chair and sat down next to Dinda, but she did not show her face on the call screen in the top corner of the phone. While on the main screen is still visible to them Bimo who began to smile when he saw Dinda on his phone screen at the end of the connection there.
"Miss.." Call him weak with intermittent breathing.
"Yes, Bimo. You have to be strong, Bim. You must-be.."
Bimo disconnects Dinda's speech.
"I've reached the end of my struggle, Din. Thank you for accompanying me at this time. I'll calm down to close my eyes later.."
Tears began to drip down Dinda's cheeks. He was unable to say anything seeing Bimo's condition. Adit held Dinda's hand on his lap.
"Excuse my apologies to your husband, for I am again disturbing his wife. But after this, it won't be anymore. I'll be gone forever.."
Faintly Dinda could hear the sound of the bedside monitor beside Bimo ticking slowed down but still continued to sound. The doctor and a nurse approached Bimo and checked his condition.
Bimo gestured for them to move away and he looked back at the phone screen with a smile still lingering on his face.
"Din, there's a gift from me... I hope you will accept it.... I leave it.., to my brother..."
Bimo's breathing began to weigh heavily and disjointed. Dinda couldn't bear to see it, but she couldn't avoid it either. His eyes continued to shed tears looking at the state of Bimo there that seemed to be getting weaker.
"Dinda, I love you... Thank you.., you are here, at the end of my time.... I'm happy.., can bring.., this love with me.., until I.., until.., until my last breath..."
Dinda held her own breath watching the scene before her. He heard him saying the word Bimo creed stammering. Then slowly he closed his eyes accompanied by a long tut sound without pause from the bedside monitor.
"Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi.." There was the sound of Bimo's brother who had helped hold Bimo's phone connected to Adit's phone. After that the call just disconnected.
Dinda covered her mouth with both hands. His breathing was restrained instantly as soon as he realized what had just happened before his eyes.
Deaths. Yes, Dinda witnessed Bimo's own passing, as she breathed her last breath and closed her eyes for good.
Adit immediately grabbed Dinda's body and hugged her tightly to appease his wife. Dinda shed her tears on her husband's chest.
"Why me? Why should I see it?" Dinda continued to cry and covered her face with both hands.
"Ssttt..! Calm yourself, baby." Adit tightened his embrace. He could not say anything as he also did not expect, Bimo would die the moment they met again through a live video call.
