The End of the Story

Big Decisions (3)

Dimas was still in his room holding a letter from Andi. He was still worried whether he should tell Dini about Andi's departure or not.

To be honest Dimas was worried when he found out that Andi had expressed his feelings to Dini through a letter.

She fears Andi will snatch Dini from her before her marriage to Dini occurs and with Andi's departure it means Andi will no longer interfere with her relationship with Dini.

But deep in his heart he also did not want Andi to leave. However, Andi is his best friend, a friend whom he always trusts to take care of Dini as long as he is away from Dini, a friend who often mediates his quarrel with Dini and helps him solve his problems with Dini.

I deliberately did not tell Dini, because I was sure I would cancel my departure when I saw him crying in front of me.

"I hope that what I did will not make me regret later, now the choice is in your hands Andini, with the choices you make, I can tell how far you are from Andi" Dimas said, grabbing his car keys on the table and running out of his room

Don't forget Dimas brought the box that Andi gave him. He'll give the box to Dini first.

Arriving at Dimas company Adit, Dimas immediately contacted Dini and told Dini if he was waiting for him in the lobby.

After a long wait, Dinipun came with a smile on his face. Dimas stood up from his seat, hugged Dini and gave her a brief kiss.

"Would you take me to lunch?" ask Dini.

Dimas shook his head slowly answering Dini's question.

"I'm here to love this" Dimas said, giving Dini the box.

"What'sthis? can I open it now?" dini Tanya who only answered the nod of Dimas' head.

Dini then opened it and was so surprised when she saw the contents. Early took the dress out of the box and noticed every detail of the dress before her.

"Dimas, where did you get this from? it's so pretty!"

"You likey?" ask Dimas.

"Like, really like," Dini replied excitedly.

"It was from Andi" said Dimas who made Dini immediately bring his views to Dimas.

"Andi?"

"Yes, he went to my office and he gave it to you" Dimas replied.

"Why didn't he just love me?" ask Dini with the look of the face that suddenly changed.

"Andini, there's something I have to tell you, I don't know if I can say this to you or not" said Dimas.

"What's the Dimas? what's going on?" dini asked worriedly as she looked at the serious-looking Dimas.

"Before I wanted to ask one thing to you, did you not get to choose between me and Andi?" ask Dimas

"Why did you come to ask that? did Andi say something to you?" reply Early asked

"Answer questions me Andini!"

"I decided to marry you not without reason Dimas, I want to marry you because I believe you are the best future for me, I chose you as my life partner, she said, is that still unclear?"

"Andi?"

"With my best friend, you and Andi have their own place so why should I choose one? I chose you as my future and I chose Andi as my best friend, isn't that enough to make you understand?"

Dimas nodded his head and smiled faintly.

"What's the Dimas? why did you come to discuss this matter?" ask Dini.

"Andi's gone" Dimas replied briefly.

"Go? you mean?"

"Andi goes abroad, he will stay there for his S2 continues, in America," replied Dimas.

Early who heard Dimas' words instantly fell silent. It was as if a heavy burden had suddenly struck him.

"You... You're kidding, right?" ask Dini who does not believe Dimas' words.

"I'm serious Andini, she gave this wedding dress to you as a wedding gift as well as a parting gift, she...."

"No, no way, you must be lying Dimas, Andi can't go that way, he didn't even bother me for a few days, he," say it early with teary eyes.

"Now it's up to you Andini, you want to stay here with me and choose me or you go after him and pick him, the man you call your best friend" Dimas said.

Early silent. Tears filled both corners of her eyes. He did not expect that Andi would leave so easily.

26 Years of their togetherness was like a waste because in the end Andi left without saying goodbye to him.

He could not imagine what life would be like without Andi nearby. Andi, a friend who had accompanied him since childhood, a friend who always looked after and loved him has now left him.

Leaving behind a sharp dagger that drew deep into his heart. The tightness and pain he felt made him unable to stem his tears.

"Pursue him if indeed you choose him Andini," said Dimas.

Dini then brought his eyes to Dimas, a man who had fought and sacrificed a lot for him. The man he chose as his future.

Dini grabbed Dimas' hand and held it. He could not have left Dimas just like that even though he did not want Andi to leave him.

"You're my future Dimas" Dini said in a hoarse voice.

"And Andi's your best friend?" tanya Dimas who was only replied with a nod of the head by Dini.

"Whatever happens I will be your future Andini" said Dimas then brought Dini into his arms.

Dini hugged Dimas with tears that had wet her cheeks.

Dimas could feel the sadness Early felt back then and he could not hold it any longer. It would not allow Dini to live with her grief like that.

Dimas then released Dini from his embrace and wiped away Early tears.

"We're leaving now" Dimas said, clasping Dini's hand, but Dini shook her head.

"Andi is also my best friend Andini, I will not let him go," said Dimas then pulled Dini's hand and took her running to leave his office.

Dimas drove his car at full speed to get to the airport before Andi's plane took off.

Along the way, Dini could only pray in her heart so that she was not late to meet Andi.

He doesn't care if he's selfish or not. He does not want to live in the shadow of his memories with Andi, he wants Andi forever in his life, not just as a memory.

Arriving at the airport, Dini immediately went down first while Dimas had to park his car.

Dini ran by just following her heart. He really hopes to find Andi among the many people who are there.

It's been over 10 minutes Early running here and there to find Andi. His feet never tired of running non-stop to find Andi.

Suddenly his eyes fell on a man sitting with a suitcase in front of him.

Slowly Dini brought her steps to the man.

"Andi," said Dini slowly but quite can be heard clearly by Andi who sat beside Dini standing.

Andipun immediately brought his gaze towards the source of the voice calling out to him. He was very surprised by the presence there.

Andi then moved from his seat and stood in front of Dini who looked chaotic at that time.

"Din, why are you here?" ask Andi.

PLAAAAKKKK

Instead of getting an answer Andi even got a hard slap on his cheek.

"Liar! a con!" said Dini with a sharp look at Andi.

Andi just kept quiet and then pulled Dini into his arms, but Dini refused and pushed Andi away from him.

"Did our 26-year friendship mean nothing to you? does that mean I didn't do that to you? so easily you say you're not going and now you're going without telling me, you're going as if I'm not who you are, this is what you call Ndi's best friend?"

"I'm sorry Din, I didn't tell you because I didn't want this to happen, I don't want to see you like Din!"

"But you made me like Ndi, you think I'll be fine after you leave? or don't you even think about me at all?"

"There are Dimas who will always take care of you Din, you will get married and I'm sure you will live happily with Dimas" said Andi.

"What is my happiness without you? we've always been together, we've laughed and cried together, doesn't that mean anything to you? does everything we've been through both mean nothing to you?"

"Din, you know you're the only one valuable in my life, but I have to go to Din, I'll be back once I'm sure of the life path I choose, I promise."

"You promised me never to leave me Ndi and now you're leaving me so don't ask me to trust you again!"

"Din, i..."

"I beg you not to go Ndi, do I have to kneel so that you do not go?" said Dini by dropping himself in front of Andi.

Her tears spilled along with the greatest fear within her. The fear that would take him away from his best friend.

Andi then immediately held both shoulders Dini and brought Dini back to stand and hugged her.

"I'm sorry Din" Andi said, hugging Dini tightly.

"I beg you not to go Ndi, I will not be able to lose my happiness without you, do not go, I beg you," said Dini sobbing in Andi's arms.

Andi just kept quiet while still hugging Dini tightly. His heart ached at the sadness of the look on Dini's face.

"You promised not to leave me Ndi, you promised not to leave me, so please keep your promise, I really can't be far from you, I can't, I can't," say Early with a vibrating voice.

Andi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly then released Dini from his embrace, but Dini did not want to escape from Andi's embrace.

He still hugged Andi tightly and tried to hold Andi in his arms.

"Don't go" said Dini tightly hugging Andi.

"Din, Dimas can misunderstand if you look like a gini," said Andi.

"Dimas also does not want you to go, he who tells me to leave you, he who anter me here, many love you here Ndi, so do not go."

Andi was silent to Dini's speech, now he knew that Dini could approach him at that time because of Dimas.

He thought Dimas would be happy with his departure, which meant that there was no one else who was silent to love Dini around him.

Andi then let go of Dini's embrace quietly, they stared at each other in silence. There were millions of implied words from the two pairs of eyes that were just staring at each other.

A sincerity of love that cannot be lost easily makes Andi melt in Early.

He could not imagine what kind of sadness Dini had when she was truly gone.

"Don't go, I beg you," Dini said with teary eyes.

I don't know how many times Andi heard the word "Don't go" Early said and it made his heart ache, especially seeing the sadness Early seemed real in front of him.

"I'm not leaving" Andi said with a faint smile.

Dini was still silent to hear what Andi said, she wanted to make sure her hearing because it could be her hearing was problematic due to crying too much.

Andi smiled again by holding both shoulders and looking into his eyes.

"I will stay here and will never leave you" said Andi who immediately made Dini embrace Andi.

"You can't leave, forever!" say Dini.

Andi nodded her head then released Dini from her embrace and wiped away the remaining tears on Dini's cheeks.

They stared at each other in silence, like a heavy burden had suddenly disappeared from their shoulders.

The gaping wounds in the heart felt closed little by little, opening up a bit of true happiness.

"Mama must be angry because you've prepared all this for me" Andi said with a small laugh.

"I will explain everything to Mama Siska," Dini replied with a happy smile because she managed to prevent Andi from leaving.

Andi then clasped Dini's hand and brought Dini out of the airport.

"Where's dimas?" ask Andi

"I don't know, I just ran to find you when he went to the parking lot" replied Dini.

"So my plane delayed 2 hours, if not delay maybe you will not meet me earlier," said Andi.

"That means God love me when to meet you and that means you can't leave me, '" replied Early.

Andi just nodded her head and smiled at Dini's words

On the other hand, Dimas who from afar saw everything that happened between Dini and Andi just smiled faintly.

He knew his heart was hurting at the time, but he preferred that rather than having to see Dini's sadness every day because of Andi's departure.

Dini has chosen him to be her future, while Andi is a friend to Dini and also herself.

He is confident that he will not regret his decision to tell Dini about Andi's departure.
