The time is rolling so fast, Alby is still waiting for Dira to open his heart again, not bored, every day Alby contact Dira. Starting from asking about Hanan's situation to asking about him. Alby approached her but did not force her. Alby wants Dira to feel comfortable.
This afternoon, a black cloud hung in the sky. The shop was closed an hour ago. But Dira is still in his room because there are some wedding dress designs that will be completed. At nine o'clock in the evening, Dira finally came out of the boutique. And it turns out that it is raining hard.
Dira ran small to his car. The reason, Dira's car had a leak of tires. Dira could not bring the car home. Dira ordered a taxi online, and again got a rejection.
Geck...
tock..
tock...
The sound of Dira's car glass on tap. Frightened, he did not dare to open the door at all. The sound of knocking was getting louder, making Dira even more afraid. Until he dropped his phone. Samar, Dira heard his name called. After the windshield opened a little, Dira saw Alby knocking on the windshield.
" Open..."
Dira opened the car door. While Alby is ready with an umbrella to protect Dira so as not to get wet. Alby takes Dira to the edge of his boutique. And Dira shook his wet hijab. So did Alby who immediately opened his suit because it was wet. Her hair was also wet. Dira reopens the button and asks Alby to come in. Because of their condition that is equally wet.
" Why's your car, Dir."
" It looks like the Banya leaked and broke down as well. I don't get it."
Said Dira with a hand that kept making hot chocolate for Alby as well as himself. When she finished, Dira offered Alby a glass of hot chocolate. Alby accepted and thanked him.
" You didn't check the car first thing this morning."
Alby said when Dira was sitting in front of him, and was blocked by Dira's desk. They are in Dira's office at the moment.
They kept quiet for a long time.
" Dude,..."
Alby raised his face when he heard Dira calling himself.
" Why don't you look for a companion?"
Alby frowned hearing Dira's words. Dira also tried to disconnect his gaze by turning his eyes to the other direction. His body revealed what he felt.
" I mean, we've been apart for so long, but-"
" Because I love a man whose name I can't lose here."
Alby cut Dira's words. And said while pointing towards his own chest. Dira was silent, she thought Alby still loved Syifa. Dira lowered his head, trying to listen back to Alby's unfinished sentence.
" The biggest mistake of my life, was hurting him and making a wound in his heart. Until this moment, he was still grasping the wound himself. Trying to be strong, but in fact he's very fragile."
Dira stared at Alby, Alby got up from his seat. Approaching the chair Dira was sitting on. Right in front of Dira, Alby squatted down, and stared at the shady face he had longed for. Dira looks into Alby's eyes, for a moment their eyes lock together.
" I caused the wound. I'm the one who made you sick. Let me wipe that wound, Dir. Don't walk away from me, it hurts too much, when I find out, you move around just to avoid me. Ii'm sorry. I beg you."
Alby said as he stroked Dira's face. Dira was silent, as Alby gently stroked her face. It feels like Dira wants to go and get into Alby's arms. But his heart was still worried. The tears that were dripping back on the swab with the thumb by Alby.
" Don't cry. Enough, don't cry anymore. Too many tears you shed all this time. Let me remove it, Dir."
