The Desire Tarnished

Second meeting

Wine's phone went off again, visible on the call screen from Vishnu. Wine sighed and tried to answer the call.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I picked you up there!" vishnu's voice sounded enthusiastic.

Wine shut down the phone.

"Who just called?" ask Melda.

"Vishnu, he wants to pick me up here!"

"Come, I'd like to introduce you to my most handsome Om!" said Melda while pulling out Wine's hand.

"Come!''

Melda was so excited.

Wine put his phone back in his bag.

Melda rushed out of the room while pulling the hand of Wine sitting right next to her, while the waiter followed closely behind. When he reached the living room, the figure of a middle-aged man who was no stranger to Wine anymore. Standing with a smile, Om Dimas who a few weeks ago met in the hospital, when the papah Vishnu undergoing treatment.

"Om Dimas!" shouted Melda while hugging tightly.

"Om Meet Wine, my college friend!" said Melda.

"Meet us again" said Om Dimas with a smile.

"Yes Om" said Wine.

"So you know Wine?" ask Melda. Om Dimas just smiled and rubbed Melda's hair.

The figure of Om Dimas who invited questions in the heart of Wine a few weeks ago, is now present and reunited at Melda's house. Om Dimas is Melda's father's younger brother. The arrival of om Dimas seemed to make all the sadness and disappointment of Melda to her parents disappear. Om Dimas was present to melt the mood of his best friend.

The figure is so unpretentious, familiar, affectionate.The atmosphere today is getting warmer with the presence of two twin angels, Melisa and the spoiled Robby sitting on the lap of om Dimas.

Today's fun continues as Melisa and Robby invite Om Dimas to play in the backyard. A beautiful garden, modern and beautifully arranged equipped with swimming pool facilities. Om Dimas who is unpretentious and able to communicate with sign language on Melisa and Robbi makes Wine amazed with him.

As Om Dimas carried Melisa and Robby alternately by being carried then released into the air and recaptured in his hands and held him. There was a memory of his childhood that shot through his mind. Wine tried to remember the figure of Om Dimas who is very familiar and attached to his heart, but Wine did not find the answer despite repeatedly trying to remember it.

A middle-aged man, yet still showing his charisma that shows his good looks in youth. Wine sits by the pool playing his cell phone while Melisa and Robby swim with Om Dimas.

"Come Wine, we swim together!"

Melda shouted while splashing water towards Wine.

"No, I want to take a picture of you!" sahut Wine's.

Wine directs his camera phone to take a portrait of Melda with Melisa, Robby and Om Dimas, so cheerful and understated with a sweet smile as Wine shoots their moment together.

A moment later Om Dimas came out of the pool with Melisa and Robby, while Melda was still engrossed in swimming with all the swimming styles she mastered. Not waiting for a long time Melda Pun came out of the pool and approached Wine.

"Why don't you go swimming?" ask Melda.

"I can't swim!" answer Wine.

Melda simply smiled and shook her head hearing Wine's Answer, while picking up a towel and wrapping her body then passed. While Wine was still sitting by the pool while waiting for Melda.

******

It didn't feel like it was 11:45 at noon when the wine saw the watch. It didn't feel like almost an hour of Wine sitting by the pool. A servant approached him.

"Non Wine, wait in the dining room!" said the waiter.

Wine followed the waiter. What a very large house, whether there are how many rooms and large spaces in the three-story house. Although it has been twice visited but Wine has not been memorized properly, this house is not even like a house in general all interiors, including, the furniture and ornaments are like a large palace and equipped with a beautiful and spacious garden around the house.

"Come on Wine, we'll have lunch together!" say Om Dimas.

So many food menus served. Wine was stunned for a moment to see the dishes served on the dining table. Melda who sat next to Wine, immediately took 1 spoon of rice and side dishes to the Wine plate.

"Let's pray first!"

Om Dimas prayed while bowing his head,

the mood became quiet.

Om Dimas looks at Wine while enjoying the food he eats on the plate.

"0iya, Wine..On holiday this semester you go back to Bali?" ask about Dimas.

"It doesn't seem like Om!"

"Why? don't you miss your parents?"

"Kangen?" Wine lowered his head.

Melda was very enthusiastic when she heard the city of Bali, and Om Dimas who had lived for several years in the city of Bali told Melda the tourist attractions of the island of the Gods. Wine was born and raised in this city, before he moved to the city of Bali at the age of entering elementary school. Wine's mind glanced far away, remembering when he was a child when he was still living in this city. Wine tries to recall, what is the cause of Wine moved to the city of Bali? where in the city Wine can no longer see the presence of his papi. And every time Wine asked where she was, her mom always said that her papa was gone. But that disturbed his mind, never once he was invited to visit his grave.

So many mysteries or something that is covered from him. The dreamy Wine recalled everything, suddenly shocked as Melda patted her shoulder.

"Wine, how to daydream!"

Wine turned his gaze towards, while the smiling and laughing Om Dimas looked at the surprised Wine with a red face blushing.

"Don't think too much of your lover!"

Wine lowered his face, as Om Dimas joked and teased him. Om Dimas stood up from his seat, then he said goodbye while promising Melisa and Robby to visit again using sign language. Melisa and Robby hug Om Dimas then both sit on his lap, Om Dimas take out their two favorite chocolate bars and then kiss the two twin nieces.

Upon seeing the two chocolate bars, Wine's memory goes back to the past. At that time her mother had a friend when she just moved to Bali. Wine recalled the way Om Dimas talked and joked when giving two chocolate bars to Melisa and Robby so as to remind Wine with the figure. The figure he used to call Om papa, is he Om Dimas? but why did Om Dimas not know him? suddenly Om Dimas patted his shoulder.

"Wine, Om go home first!"

"Om OK!"

Melda delivered Om Dimas to the front porch of the house, it was seen that Melda did not want to part, she hugged tightly and cried. Om Dimas wiped off Melda's tears, as if he understood her feelings.

Wine saw how close their relationship was. The car in the Om Dimas vehicle passed while Wine and Melda were still standing in front of the porch of the house. Then the big motor Wisnu entered the yard of the house and parked in front of the terrace. Vishnu opened his helmet and approached Wine who was still stunned to look out of the gate along with the disappearance of Om Dimas' car. While Melda who was standing saw Vishnu who was approaching her.

"Hi, Melda!" sapa Vishnu's.

"You'll pick up the Wine!"

Wine still I stood stunned staring at the gate of Melda's house, as if Wine was unaware of Vishnu's presence before him.

"Hey!"

Vishnu waved his hand in front of the dreamy face of Wine.

"Why daydream, Non?" vishnu.

Wine looked at Melda and said goodbye to her best friend.

"I'll go home first!"

wine's voice sounded uninspired.

"Yes, be careful on the road!"

Seriate......
