The End of the Story

The Letter Found

"Papa... There's a little fish in there!" alana said as she ran into the living room.

Alana stopped her steps as she looked at Dini who seemed to have just cried. Alana then approached Dini and held Dini's hand.

"Aunty crying again?" alana asked with a look on Dini's face.

Dini just shook her head with a smile.

"Om Dimas must be sad if you see Aunt Early crying," said Alana who made Dini back in glass.

Andi then pulls Alana's hand so that Alana stops talking about Dimas in front of Dini.

"Alana's going home now?" ask Alana.

"Dini Aunt don't cry, Dimas's mom will be sad" Alana said without answering Andi's question.

"We go home first baby, Auntie Dini want to rest first," said Andi while moving from her seat and holding Alana.

Alana just kept silent by looking at Dini's sad face.

"You rest Din, I'm the same as Alana coming home first" Andi told Dini.

"Tomorrow to come to Alana's birthday show aunty!" alana Sahut.

Dini just nodded her head with a smile. After the departure of Andi and Alana, Dini went into her room.

He sat down at the table, looking at his picture with Dimas.

"Dear Auntie don't cry, later Dimas sad,"

Dini smiled thinly considering Alana's words to him.

"why don't you ever see me again Dimas? why did you meet Andi and Alana? please meet me again, tell me what I should do, "inwardly in my heart.

Dini then got up from her seat and laid herself on the bed, pulled out the blanket and covered her body with a thick blanket.

"i miss you Dimas" said Dini inwardly as she closed her eyes.

"i miss you, too,"

A very familiar voice Early heard clearly in Early ears, his warm breath even felt in Early ears, making Dini immediately open his eyes.

Dini brought her eyes around every corner of her room, but there was no one there.

Early Eyes back glazed glass because he missed Dimas more and more. He bent his knees and buried his head between his legs.

Suddenly a hand caressed her hair and pulled her into a warm embrace.

"Dimas.." said Dini with a trembling voice and tears that immediately fell.

"Stop sad baby, I will always be in your heart, I hope you can continue your life well even without me beside you" said Dimas gently.

Dimas then released Dini from his embrace, his warm hands holding both of Dini's cheeks and his two loving eyes looking deeply at Dini.

"All you have to do is be happy" Dimas said.

"And I'm sure Andi will make you happy more than I can, his love is so great for you Andini, he's willing to endure all the pain in his heart for your happiness" Dimas continued.

"But he's my best friend, he's also your best friend" Dini said.

"He's a friend who loves you dear, he's a friend I trust to replace me to make you happy" Dimas said.

Dini just silently looked at the man she loved. Dimas then got out of bed and walked towards his wardrobe.

He opened the drawer there, pulled out a book from the drawer and showed a letter to Dini.

"What's that?" ask Dini.

Dimas simply smiled without answering the question Early. He came back to Dini and hugged her tightly.

Dini could feel the warm embrace of Dimas that enveloped her at that moment.

KRIIIING KRIIIING

The sound of the morning alarm made Dini immediately open her eyes. He rolled his eyes around every corner of his room but saw no one there.

All the words of Dimas in his dream seemed to come back ringing in his ears. Dini then recalled Dimas' words before Dimas closed his eyes for good.

"Andini, you have to know what's really going on all this time, Andi loves you Andini, she loves you much more than I do, sorry that I had to be present between you two, I love you so much, but Andi's love makes you so much bigger,"

"Even at your last moment, you say that" said Dini with teary eyes.

Dini immediately moved from her bed, she opened the closet containing Dimas clothes. He opened his drawer and saw a book he had never seen before.

Doubtfully Dini opened the book and sure enough, there was a letter inside. I opened it and read it.

I love you Din, more than words

Andi, the friend who loves you

Dini was silent in disbelief at what she had just read. The letter contained the expression of Andi's heart that Andi had long kept.

Judging from the date the letter was written, Andi wrote it just before Andi intended to go abroad by arriving.

"you who are from childhood are always the same Andi but you never know how Andi feels with you, do you deserve to be called a friend?"

Arrived Early to remember Anita's words when Anita held her.

Dini then contacted Andi, he wanted to see Andi right then and there.

"You're at home, let me go there," Andi replied without knowing what Dini would talk to him.

After a long wait, Andipun came.

Dini immediately opened her main door and gave the letter to Andi when Andi had just entered.

"What's this?" ask Andi to Dini.

"Why am I the only one who doesn't know?" reply Early asked.

Andi opened the letter and was so surprised after seeing the contents.

"Where did you get this letter?"

"What have you been thinking of me all this time? over 20 years we've been the same and I just found out about it!"

"Din, i....."

"Dimas knows everything, even Anita also knows everything, what is really Anita said, I am not a good friend for you because in fact I always hurt your feelings without me knowing!"

"What reason? my happiness? do you think I'm a good friend when I'm happy on top of your suffering?"

Andi pulled an Early hand, bringing Dini to sit on the sofa. He never thought it would happen, he thought Dimas had thrown the letter away, but it turned out that Dimas still kept it.

"I'm horrified Din, at first I may doubt how I feel, but when I'm sure what I feel is the same, there's Dimas coming to you, I thought that if he was so much better than me, he could be happier for you than I am, that's why I gave up on my own feelings, I will always be happy for you Din because your happiness will heal my wounds" Andi explained.

"You stupid Ndi, you're really stupid!"

"Yes, I know, but this stupidity that makes me survive, this stupidity that makes me stay here for you" Andi replied.

"Why should there be such a feeling Ndi? why are you hurting yourself the same feelings you shouldn't have? we're friends from little Ndi, why should there be that feeling?"

"I also don't know Din, there's nothing I can do for this feeling, I love and love you more than just Din's best friend, that love came without me asking and I couldn't force it to go" Andi replied.

He covered his face with both hands. He was not completely satisfied with what Andi and Dimas were doing behind him.

They are best friends but they love one woman the same, even until the end of Dimas' life, they are still good friends to each other.

It was Andi who tried to save Dimas and Dimas who told Dini all of Andi's feelings for her.

"I just want you to be happy Din, I will take care of this love myself without expecting anything more from you because I know Dimas has given you the happiness you expect" Andi told Dini.

"It's not really Ndi!"

"It's all my fault, I shouldn't have this feeling" Andi said, lowering her head.

Dini then got up from her seat and stepped away leaving Andi just like that.

"I'm sorry Din" Andi said with his hand in his hand, but Dini pulled her hand violently and ran into her room.

Andi exhaled his coarse breath then threw himself on the sofa in annoyance.

**

Time passed, Dini still speechlessly stared at the letter before her. His memory recounts his friendship with Andi.

He remembered when he suddenly felt his heart pounding with Andi, but he always dispelled the strange feelings he felt at that time.

All he realized at that time was Andi his best friend and he only loved Dimas. Even so he did not want to lose Andi, he even begged Andi to undo his intention to go abroad.

For a while he realized, many things that Andi had done for him. Andi always loved him, looked after him and cared so much for him.

Dini only knew if it was all just friends, without Dini knowing that Andi did all that because Andi kept the love for her.

When Dimas left, when Dimas was away from him, even when Dimas lost his memory, Andi was always there for him. Andi always strives for happiness for him.

"You're a fool, Ndi, you should say, you should reveal everything you're afraid of, why should you keep it too long? why would you want to hurt yourself?"

Dini then brought her gaze to the photo of Dimas and herself.

"Dimas, Andi is your friend, he is also my friend, I love you, but I don't want Andi to leave me, am I as evil as you two? do I deserve the love of you two?"

Early lying his head on the table, he stroked Dimas' face in the photo.

"you're not evil, honey,"

Dini immediately raised her head when she heard that voice. His eyes glazed over seeing Dimas returning in front of him.

"Andi has been hurt for too long with love in his heart, this is the time he is happy and his happiness is you, I will also be very happy if you are both happy," said Dimas by wiping his hair Early.

When Dini opened her eyes, the mother was already in front of her by stroking her hair, waking her up.

"Why sleep here?" ask mom Dini.

Dini just shook her head then moved up and sat on the edge of her bed.

"There's something you want to tell Mom Early" Dini told her mother.

"About Andi?" terka mom Dini.

"Mom know?"

"Yes, I've known for a long time, he really loves you Din, he never expected anything other than your happiness, that's why he gave you the same Dimas, that's why, he prefers his heart to be hurt for your happiness" said Dini's mother.

Dini just silently listened to the words of her mother.

"You have to know why Andi never expressed her feelings for you, when she knew you and Dimas loved each other, she didn't want to confuse you, she didn't want to ruin your happiness as Dimas did," continued mom Dini.

"is that much love for me?" ask Early in the heart.

"Mom knows you love Dimas Din very much, but I also believe that there is still a place for Andi in your heart, you always think of him as your best friend and think of Dimas as your future, that thought that makes you close your eyes to the feelings of more than the best friend you have for Andi," said mom Dini.

"Feel more than friends?"

"Yes, the fear of loss that you feel is part of the love that you have for Andi" replied Dini's mother.

Elsewhere, Alana's birthday show has already begun. Besides, Andi and Mama Siska, there is also Adit, Ana, Andi's mother and father.

Mama Siska also brought in children from the orphanage foundation to enliven Alana's birthday.

After they all sang, it was time for Alana to blow her candles.

"Alana wants to wait for Auntie Early" said Alana who was reluctant to blow the candles.

Andi looked at the watch on his left hand, the birthday event should have been done 30 minutes ago, but because Alana insisted to wait for Dini, the event was forced to step down.

After successfully persuading Alana to start her show soon, Alana still insists on waiting for Dini before she blows her candle.

"Honey, her sister's sister has been waiting a long time, Alana blew her candles and kept cutting the cake!" andi told Alana.

"Sister sister can eat her cup cake first pa, Alana want to blow candles with Aunt Dini," reply Alana.

"Maybe Aunty Dini is busy so can't come here" said Adit who helped try to persuade Alana.

"No, Auntie Dini promised Alana to come!" reply Alana.

It's almost 30 minutes passed, but Dini never showed the trunk of his nose makes Alana began to glaze over.

"Tante here lied to Alana?" alana asked the father.

"Dear, maybe Auntie Dini is busy arriving, so can't come here, blow the candles as well as papa?"

"No...... Alana wants to be like Auntie Dini.." said Alana who began to cry.

All who were there tried to calm Alana, but her tears were getting broken because she really hoped that Dini would come at that time.
