30 . smart but stupid man

Mr. Nurdin stopped his car right in front of Dila's rented house . While carrying some paper bags the middle-aged man entered the fence of the house that looked silent . He stood for a while after pressing the bell .

" Who..." Ocha who opened the door of the house looked at Mr. Nurdin while asking .

" Good morning Miss Dila is at Home ? " Task Mr. Nurdin.

" No, Father who ? " Ocha is trying to remember the face in front of her .

" I'm the driver of Nisa's mistress" replied Mr. Nurdin lying .

" i'm here to deliver Dila's goods, is he there ?"

" Dila just went up the mountain, what's the matter, sir ? " Ask Ocha .

As far as she was concerned last night Dila stayed at the home of Nisa's parents .

" When Dila left? , Dila Mobile left behind is there another no that can be contacted ? " sir.pak Nurdin .

Ocha looked at Mr. Nurdin's face for a moment, he felt the sadness Dila this morning had something to do with the family .

" No "answer is short .

" Where did he climb ? " Task Mr. Nurdin.

" I don't know sir, he just said he'd go a week over "answer ocha lie .

Mr. Nurdin knew Ocha deliberately did not give him the information he wanted, the girl's gaze was also filled with suspicion .

" Then I drop Dila's goods, please tell Dila to contact Mr. Gunawan , he is very worried because he wants Dila to go home without saying goodbye .I'm sorry miss " mr. Nurdin handed Dila's goods to Ocha while stepping away .

" Dila went for a hike ? " Mister Gunawan asked in surprise after hearing Mr. Nurdin's story .

" Yes mister, I have not received any more information" replied Mr. Nurdin .

" I think Miss Dila is not okay, I can feel her friend deliberately did not give us information, maybe she knows what happened ", continued Mr. Nurdin .

Mr. Gunawan took a deep breath, the man in his seventies leaned his body on his chair .

" Find out where Dila went, I don't want anything bad to happen to her" said Mr. Gunawan after a moment of silence .

" Good sir " replied Mr. Nurdin .

" Din.. Why did you never tell me about Jidan "Mister Gunawan looked at Mr. Nurdin's face .

"Actually when we came home from Sukabumi I was about to tell mister , but at that time mister was still angry " replied Mr. Nurdin .

" Then what is the relationship between Jidan and that woman ? " Ask mr Gunawan .

" I can't get any information about the woman, but I heard that young master Jidan got an administrative sanction because the incident almost jeopardized his mission " replied Mr. Nurdin .

" is that so ? " Mr. Gunawan pediam .

" What about Jordi and Rizky ? " Ask mr Gunawan .

" Young master Jordi is only close to Miss Dila at the end of this year, even they had dinner at a restaurant with children of the Friday home last night" reported Mr. Nurdin.

" Jordi ..? , Eat with the orphanage child ?!" Ask Mr. Gunawan not to believe .

Mr. Nurdin nodded with a smile .

" Young master Rizky is not being close to anyone sir "nurdin continued his report .

" What about Dila ?" Ask Mr. Gunawan .

" So far we cannot conclude anything , Miss Dila has many good male or female friends, she is also close to some men from the climber community, ' he said , but I think Miss Dila just thinks of them as a friend " replied Mr. Nurdin .

" Really, what about the men ? " Ask mr Gunawan .

Mr. Nurdin was silent for a moment while smiling, Mr. Gunawan looked at his confidant while taking a deep breath .

" he's too naive ' he could get into trouble like Kartika "he muttered later .

" But Miss Dila can protect herself sir, I heard from mang Karman mister Saka train her taekwondo, she also practiced Jitsu and karate "pak Nurdin told me .

" Oh ..that's good, but I'm still worried about his safety . For me the most important thing is that she is as happy as Saka's wishes . Although I wish she could be my son-in-law's granddaughter, I don't want my wishes to make her unhappy " mr. Gunawan spoke as he looked up at the sky of the room .

" I should have chosen to live a simple life like Saka " muttered Mr. Gunawan .

" You may go, I want to take a short break "mister Gunawan getting out of his seat .

The old man stepped towards his room with various thoughts in his head .

* * * * *

Jidan awoke from his sleep after falling asleep for a while . He immediately got out of bed after a moment of silence .

With Gontai Jidan stepping towards the bathroom , he cleaned himself then immediately came out of his room after getting dressed .

Wearing a blue collared t-shirt, and jeans in matching colors, the young man looked handsome and masculine .

At that time the clock showed at seven o'clock in the evening, but the dining room was still quiet , Jidan looked at his watch then stepped towards the family room .

Jordi was sitting there holding mobile phones, Tania and Rizky and Mr. Aditya and his wife were also preparing for dinner . They are all waiting for Mr. Gunawan .

" Sister..' cried Tania as she ran towards Jidan . The little girl had indeed heard the return of the older brother, but she had not met him .

Spoiled Tania hugged Jidan .

" You've gotten bigger" said Jidan, wiping Tania's head .

Rizky also immediately got up from her seat and hugged her .

" Silver brother ..? " Task Rizky with a happy face .

" Well, I'm alive" replied Jidan, patting his shoulder .

" You're fine "Jidan greeted Jordi who was just sitting quietly in her place .

" Yes.. thank goodness you came back intact" said Jordi to make Jidan laugh .

Jidan sat on the long sofa next to Tania who coolly rested her head on the shoulder of the older sister .

" the spoiled girl sits there alone" said Jidan as she pushed Tania's head .

" No...., I miss Brother Jidan " answered Tania spoiled while tightly hugging Jidan's arm .

Jidan can only resignedly accept the behavior of his only child .

" Nia.kakak must be tired do not be spoiled so "excited Miss Irma with a smile . She was happy that her two children got along so well .

" Let it be .." replied Tania , he tightened his embrace on Jidan .

" Why grandfather long ago I was hungry "whine Tania .

" I'll see it" said Jidan, rising from his seat . He stepped into Mr. Gunawan's room .

After knocking on the door Jidan immediately opened the door to Mr. Gunawan's room . Seen the grandfather was sitting while pensive .

" Cake.everyone is waiting for grandpa to have dinner" said Jidan as he approached her .

" You eat me unappetizing" replied Mr. Gunawan .

" Are you sure he loves you? , How far is your relationship ? " Mister Gunawan looked at Jidan .

" I don't know.., Now I'm not sure " replied Jidan .

" What makes you doubt your heart or his feelings ? " Ask mister Gunawan

" Grandfather knows I've never loved anyone, I don't know what love is and how? ? , But with him I found peace " replied Jidan .

" He taught me how to be happy in a very simple way" Jidan continued with a smile .

" Then why don't you take off your uniform ?" Ask Mr. Gunawan .

" Isn't your uniform the barrier to your relationship ? " Ask Mr. Gunawan while looking at the face of the grandson .

Jidan gulped his saliva, the young man fell silent for a moment then sighed .

" For this is my life . I am a soldier, if he really loves me then he will accept me for who I am, otherwise I don't want to turn into someone else for him to love" replied Jidan .

" It is a sacrifice that you must make in order to achieve the goal that you want , in order to obtain the precious thing you must sacrifice the precious thing "mister Gunawan chimed in .

" My grandfather was a soldier . If I have to choose between a girl or my uniform, then that's not an option . It was a rejection . We couldn't change our uniforms, not even with our lives even "Jidan got out of his seat .

" Does Grandpa still not want to eat ? " Task Jidan while stepping away .

" You.. really don't want to fight Dila..? " Mister Jidan asked again without answering Jidan's question.

" I think grandfather already knows my answer" Jidan said as he opened the door .

The young man stepped into the living room while telling everyone that Mr. Gunawan did not want to have dinner .

After dinner all the family members are busy with their respective activities . Rizky Bailed to go home, while Jordi chose to enjoy a cup of coffee on the back porch .

Jidan looked at Jordi who was sitting relaxed . With a light step he approached the cousin .

" I heard that your lover got married, what's his name..? " Task Jidan while sitting next to Jordi .

" He's not my girlfriend anymore 'we broke up" Jordi replied .

" Why are you asking ? " Task Jordi wonder . It's not usual for Jidan to interfere in someone's affairs .

" you don't look as heartbroken as ever, are you close to someone ? " ask Jidan regardless of Jordi's words .

Jordi laughed at Jidan's question .with a suspicious face she looked at Jidan's face .

" What's wrong with you? , is taking too much medicine ? " Task Jordi .

" I'm just curious " replied Jidan while smiling calmly .

" Did you... ever love someone ? " Tanya Jordi arrived after they were silent for a while .

" I don't have time for that" Jidan replied as he looked at Jordi's face .

" i. I think I like someone ' Jordi muttered . Jidan was speechless as he stared at Jordi's face inside .

" She's a unique girl, likes to scold someone as she pleases, is also very careless, but I think she already has a lover" said Jordi making Jidan stunned .

" Why do you say that ? " Task Jidan then .

" Just my guess, she doesn't seem interested in me . You know.many girls are crazy about me . Trying to approach me or even frankly say love . But he was different, he always even mocked me "the story of Jordi .

Jidan was silent . If true what Jordi said means that the girl is not interested in her cousin .

" then what are your plans young master ? " ask Jidan

" of course it makes him like me, whatever the way" Jordi replied

" you think love is a competition? , a person's heart is not something you can win at will ! " saidan said while looking intently at his cousin who was always full of ambition if he wanted something .

" is that how a soldier thinks, don't you abstain from going home if you lose ? " say Jordi

" love and war are two different things" Jidan replied .

" where is the difference ? " ask Jordi

" love is about giving without expecting anything in return" Jidan replied .

" what's different about you? , wasn't it when you went off duty that you didn't expect anything for yourself, but you still hoped and tried your hardest to accomplish the mission you were on , for what? ? , is it not because of love for the country? , although sometimes no one knows it" said Jordi while looking at Jidan's face .

" life is only once how can you say love is about giving, love is about fighting together, make her fall in love with you, make yours , then be happy until the end " continue Jordi .

"happy until the end of your head!! , then why did you let your lover marry someone else "Jidan mocked Jordi .

" that's a different thing "reject Jordi .

" where is the difference ? " Jidan glares .

" you have to be sure first about your heart and his heart, and then you can say with pride happily until the end! ! , you stupid human being" Jidan said, laughing .

" why, isn't it enough to make him happy, he will love us for a long time too ?! " ask Jordi .

" oh... is that so... with what you're going to make him happy ? "

Jordi was silent as she looked out the window overlooking the back garden .

The sound of a mobile phone from the pocket of Jidan's pants made the two men who were silent was surprised .

" Yes." said Jidan received the phone call .

" No he didn't call me" Jidan said .

" Are you? , did something happen before ? " Jidan's face is serious .

" All right.I'll look for it " said Jidan while hanging up the phone .

Jordi looked at Jidan's face which arrived seriously .

" I have to go, continue your love story next time" Jidan told Jordi standing up .

" Are you going to be on duty again ? " Task Jordi .

Jidan shook his head . The man smiled wryly .

" No.This time there is a personal matter that I have to settle "answer Jidan .

" Oh yeah.I don't think she's interested in you .the girl you're telling me about . Stop chasing him, if you don't want to be heartbroken" Jidan said as she walked away with a big smile .

" What..?! , Who are you ?! " Shouted Jordi who felt in ridicule .

" He never even dated someone "Jordi muttered to herself .

Jidan continued his steps without caring about the words of Jordi . from the beginning he knew Jordi was a smart man but stupid in the affairs of romance, Jordi always considered all things can be achieved easily . he thinks money can buy everything .

The young man headed for the car garage and immediately drove his vehicle away from home .

Jidan grabbed the earphones lying on the dashboard of his car and put them in his ear . Then the young man called someone .

Jidan sighed several times when his phone call was not picked up .

" Where did he go " murmured Jidan while continuing to drive .

The young man continued to drive his car to the toll road out of the city of Bandung . He headed towards the city of Semarang, his face looked restless and full of worries .
