The Love Competition

The Love Competition
29. two heartbroken men



Jidan sat on the long sofa, three old men surrounded him.As soon as he arrived at the house the young man was immediately greeted by the father who was waiting for him in the living room , he was immediately taken to Mr. Gunawan's office like a prisoner who was taken to the courtroom .


Jidan sat down casually on the sofa . In front of him Mr. Gunawan is ready to interrogate himself . The father sat next to him, while Mr. Nurdin stood outside the door of the soundproof workspace .


" Explain to us what really happened ! " order of Mr. Gunawan .


" I'm sorry grandfather but Dila didn't want anything that happened between us to be known by grandfather " replied Jidan calmly .


" Something happened between you guys ? " Fishing lord Aditya .


Jidan was silent as he looked at the two .


" Explain first how Dila can be a prospective daughter-in-law, so all this time she is my future wife ? " Task Jidan on both .


" Yes.., but now no longer " replied Mr. Gunawan .


" Why ? , didn't grandfather just rip off Grandpa's latest will ? " Task Jidan with a smile .


" This little boy ! " Mister Gunawan growled .


" He is not an item that can be made a bet . Grandpa's way is like a primitive uncivilized " said Jidan while leaning on the sofa, only he dared to behave so in front of Mr. Gunawan .


" Just tell us the truth "mister Aditya began to lose patience with his son who always behaved as he wanted .


" You want to know the truth, I just got dumped for wearing this uniform "Jidan referred to himself .


" You got dumped, which means you're dating ? " Ask mr Gunawan .


" He expressed love for me for thinking I was a writer or something, and then he kicked me after knowing I was a soldier, which was even more special for special forces soldiers like his late father " Jidan laughs at himself .


Mr. Gunawan was killed hearing the story of Jidan . That means there is a difference in the way in his plan so far , if from the beginning they know each other maybe everything will be fine .


" When did you know him ? " Ask mr Gunawan .


" Since I began to enter the special forces "Jidan replied .


" Why never bring it home ?! " Snapped Mr. Gunawan .


" Why don't you ever show me her picture ?! " Jidan asked back . Mr. Gunawan and Mr. Aditya look at each other .


" It was the desire of eyang saka to prevent bad things from happening "mister Aditya finally spoke up .


The three generations fell silent while looking at each other .


" I'm tired I want to rest" Jidan said as he walked away leaving his grandfather and father in the room .


" Is Dila still willing to stay here after what happened "asked Mr. Gunawan to Mr. Aditya .


" I don't know ..we must know the girl's weakness " replied Mr. Aditya while rubbing his face .


" Dad.Try her phone, ask her why she is not saying goodbye to dad when she comes home, act as if nothing happened" said Mr. Gunawan arrived .


" O..is that so..? " Task Mr. Gunawan unsure .


Mr. aditya nodded his head .


" All right.I'll try later" said Mr. Gunawan .


" No..don't wait , what do you do when you arrive he goes huh...?! " Ask mr. Aditya .


" You're right ' old man this time according to someone .


*****


Jidan sat on the edge of the bed that was still a mess, no one had tidied up the goods . Jidan laid down his body on the bed, the man smiled wryly .


" The aroma is left in this bed ' whispered later .


Jidan looked up at the sky of his room . The young man recalled the incident in front of Dila's house .


" Huh..!!


The man exhaled strongly, trying to make room for his chest that felt full . He recalled the sweet memories he had with Dila .


Derd...


A mobile phone vibrating Voice makes Jidan look for the origin of the sound . Jidan saw a cell phone lying on a small table beside his bed .The man read the contacts seen on his phone screen .


" The substitute grandfather "Jidan smiled to see the name of Mr. Gunawan's contact on the phone, he could already guess who the owner of the phone was .


" Why did Grandpa call her? , Is it for a show ? " Task Jidan at the caller who is none other than the grandfather .


" Why is the phone on you ?! " Shouted Mr. Gunawan .


Jidan did not answer , he immediately turned off the call .


Curiosity makes Jidan look at the phone with doubt .


The man smiled looking at the sweet face of Dila that was plastered on the mobile screen . .


" How could she be so beautiful "he asked while looking at a photo of Dila with an old man he thought was Eyang Saka .


Jidan's hands began to be impolite, curiosity saw the notification of incoming messages in the WhatsApp mobile application made him press the chat application icon .


Many incoming messages, the most interesting of course the name of a contact that makes his finger itchy to read it immediately .


" A haughty man ?! " Murm Jidan . and his impolite finger immediately pressed the chat conversation with that contact .


" Where are you ?"


" Are you okay ? "


" Why not return my message ?"


" Hatch up your phone !!"


" Call me !!"


Jidan smiled reading the message, "who is this man ? " ask Jidan in the heart .


Before he presses the back button, there is a call from that contact . Jidan left it until the call ended .


" Has she been close to someone ? " Task Jidan while putting Dila's phone on the table .


One year is not a short time to get close or like someone . Dila is a sweet girl who can make anyone fall in love with her for a day . He is a proof, not just him, many of his colleagues on the climb who are single admitted if Dila is a heart charm .


Dila's unique cheerful and personal attitude, plus above-average face is more value for a man falling for her .


Jidan reached into his pants pocket, he took his phone . His hand immediately sought contact .


" Hello brother..." It didn't take long for him to wait for the Answer .


" Dila took part in a final climb this late ' he asked


" Oh... briefly! , Bro.he has not climbed for almost a year, do you remember his last climbing incident was not? , Since then he did not climb " the man on the phone gave him information .


" You're already in Indonesia ? " Ask the man .


" Yes.thanks bro" said Jidan while hanging up his phone .


With lethargic Jidan headed for the bathroom 'he wanted to refresh his heart and mind with a warm bath . finished bathing came the idea in his heart to meet Dila back with a reason .


Jidan grabbed Dila's cell phone, the man immediately stepped out of the house . He wanted to return the phone to Dila as an excuse to meet the girl .


" I want to return this ", replied Jidan while showing her a mobile phone .


" Let me alone, I happen to also want to deliver his belongings" said Mr. Nurdin .


" What stuff ? " Ask Jidan .


" Mrs Nisa gave him a gift and left here " replied Mr. Nurdin .


" What ..?! " Task Jidan surprised .


" When was he close to Dila ?" Jidan asked while looking at Mr. Nurdin's face .


" I don't know it " sir Nurdin answered it casually .


" Did Jordi also approach him ?" Ask Jidan .


" They've been friends since the first meeting " replied Mr. Nurdin .


" When was that ? " Ask Jidan .


" Two days before Eyang Saka passed away "nurdin sir was astonished by Jidan's question that usually did not want to know about his family .


Jidan handed Dila's cell phone to Mr. Nurdin while returning to his room . There was a huge worry tucked in his chest towards Dila . But he could do nothing . Suddenly his heart was broken .


*****


Elsewhere Jordi was sitting in a cafe . He repeatedly looked at his cellphone with an annoyed face .


' what's wrong with him? , What's the broken phone ', he read my message but didn't reply 'and he didn't receive a call from me " muttered Jordi .


Adam sitting nearby was just a head bobble . Jordi called her in the morning just to have her spend time together over breakfast, but it was almost twelve o'clock in the afternoon .


From earlier the man was enraged with anger while staring at his phone .


" Boss..who are you calling "ask Adam .


Jordi fell silent as she looked towards Adam .


" Nothing .I was just looking for the atmosphere just now" replied Jordi sekhenya .


" I can go, right ?" Ask Adam .


" Where do you really want to go? , you don't like being with me ?! " Task Jordi .


" There's a lot of work that I have to finish, boss ,. Our project in the likes of the earth has been delayed two weeks "Adam replied while showing the work schedule on his phone .


" Alright you can go " replied Jordi as she stepped out of the cafe .


Adam shook his head looking at Jordi's strange behavior .


Jordi driving his car is not necessarily the direction around Bandung . I don't know why she suddenly felt uncomfortable and lonely .


A call goes to the phone . It turned out that the mother called .


" Have you been to Dila's house ? " Ask the mother .


" Not yet, what's up ? " Task Jordi .


" Emh.mama I think something happened , come to his house" said the mother .


" You mean mama ? " Task Jordi .


" Mommy heard that Jidan has come home, didn't you meet him ? " Ask the mother without answering Jordi's question .


" What?! , why don't I know ? " Task Jordi confused .


" Could it be that they had a fight? , You know Jidan doesn't like strangers sleeping in his room let alone dila is the woman he refuses to be" said the mother .


" really ? " Tanya Jordi doesn't believe .


" Try her home and ask what happened "suggestion madam Nisa .


" Well..." Answer Jordi brief .


" Oh yeah don't forget to invite him to go to the boutique mama subscription, bye dear "mrs Nisa hang up her phone .


Jordi turned her car around, she immediately drove to Dila's rented house .


Arriving there, he saw Dila coming out of the house while carrying a large backpack . The girl was riding in a car, her best friend seemed to let go of Dila with haru .


Out of curiosity Jordi follows the car that brought Dila, it turns out that the girl is headed for the airport . Jordi asks an airport taxi driver to park his car by giving him a large wage, then follows Dila in silence .


She saw the girl was busy talking to someone on the phone . Then he ran happily to someone waiting for him in front of an airline ticket counter .


The man was Ivan whom he saw in front of a restaurant while walking with Dila, he still vividly remembered the face . Ivan seemed to be waiting for Dila there with the other man .they looked friendly . Looked at buying a plane ticket . Then the three of them went in to check in .


Curiosity makes Jordi headed to the ticket sales counter .


" Good day can I help you ? " Task the counter guard kindly .


" Day.sorry for the fastest flight this afternoon to where ya ? " Task Jordi with a sweet smile .


" I'm sorry where are you going ? " Task the counter guard it's friendly .


" Where did you come out of Bandung" he said with a sweet smile at the counter guard .


" Emh...for now our fastest flights are Bali and Ambon, " replied the counter guard .


" Oh..really ? , I have been to Bali before , also Ambon , then I will find another flight ?, thanks "Jordi stepped away from the counter .


" Jordi stepped out of the place while calling someone .


" Hello Adam? , do you have a partner at airline J ? " Say to Adam ,. The man he called .


" Yes there is a boss, I used to confirm the arrival of a VVIP guest from him "answered Adam .


" Then please find out if Wulandari Ratnadila is on the departure list to Bali or Ambon this afternoon, I wait as soon as possible "his order while hanging up the phone .


Jordi called the online taxi driver number he paid to park his car & asked the driver to take his car back to where it was .


After his car came Jidan immediately paid the taxi driver and drove away from Husein Sastranegara International Airport .


The man felt his chest about to explode when he saw Dila so familiarly hug the man he thought looked ordinary


" She's acting pretentious, has she always been so to all the men "Jordi blabbed while driving her car .


The call from Adam made him reach for his earphones .


" Hello boss.yes there was a passenger named Wulandari Ratnadila to Ambon on airline flight J at seventeen this afternoon" reported Adam .


Jordi hung up on him without saying anything . He returned to the mansion with emotions that he could not understand .with a lethargic face he entered his room .


" Why am I angry ? we don't have any relationship? , Do I like him? , Impossible ? "


All those questions popped up and swirled around in Jordi's head . She tried to deny her feelings for Dila .but she felt pain in her chest seeing him along with another man .


" You know, sometimes someone will realize how much love they are when they will lose "Dila's words last night ringing in his ear .


" If it's love.., why did you break it before springing up " whispered Jordi while throwing her body into the bed .
