The Love Competition

55. Stupid Words

The atmosphere was already dark, Jordi and Dila who came home by driving the same car dissolved in their respective thoughts . In the middle of the trip Jordi invites Dila to stop by a tourist spot that is open until night in the mountain area Many cities Batu , and Dila agrees .

They arrived at the omah wood and paragliding tourist attractions in Batu City ahead of the Maghrib, after Maghrib prayers at the place Both of them went around the tourist attractions that are open 24 hours .

From that place they can enjoy the view of the stone city at night . Both are looking for the best view to sit back in a relaxed manner . Dila was amazed to see the beautiful view of the city from that place .

"Dila... about the thing I told you yesterday, can you think about it ? " Tanya Jordi arrived after the two were silent for a while while looking at the view of the poor city .

" I'll wait until you can open your heart to me" continued Jordi Because Dila is still silent .

" Jo..Do you believe in miracles ? " Tanya Dila arrived without answering Jordi's question .

" I think it's there "answer Jordi .

" Nearly a year I wish it had happened, even today part of my heart still expects it . I don't want to give you false hope . The love you want that someone has taken it from my heart, there is nothing left here" Dila said as she placed her palm to her chest .

" Let me fill it up, I have a lot of love for both of us "Jordi looks at Dila's face gently . Dila was speechless, he had never seen that gaze from Jordi's eyes .

The girl wanted to tell me about the thing she experienced two days ago, about the hope she had that the man she met was Jidan . But his tender heart did not want to hurt Jordi with the thing that he himself was not sure about .

The words he had heard earlier this afternoon had touched his heart a little . At least he knew there was someone who did not want him to continue to be trapped in grief, and that person was the man who was in front of him at this moment .

Dila closed her eyes due to a feeling that was all wrong.Jordi suddenly landed a kiss on her forehead .

Dila was silent, something soft sailed on her chest , giving a sense of comfort even if only for a moment . The girl looked at the man in front of her sadly .

Jordi smiled gently as she looked at Dila .

" I'm sorry .I can't help it "he said, taking his eyes off Dila's face .

"Don't love me too much, don't expect anything from me you can get hurt" Dila said as she quivered in anguish .

" Love does sometimes give pain, you once said that "Jordi replied with a smile .

Dila was silent while biting her lips . Now his heart is right Dilemma .

" Jo....." Call Dila soft, Jordi looked at Dila's silent face with open lips as if to say something .

" I think he's alive, ' I met him two days ago" Dila finally said .

Jordi was silent as she looked at Dila's face, she really felt sorry for the girl .

" You can miss him anytime, I don't want you to forget him completely, but I don't want you to continue to be sad because you always miss people who won't come back" Jordi said gently .

" I met someone very similar to Jidan, I think it was her but she didn't recognize me" Dila said making Jordi speechless as she digested the girl's words .

" you mean you met someone who..

Dila nodded slowly, before the man finished his sentence.

" How could you think it was him ? " Task Jordi after a moment of silence .

" Because my heart was pounding when I saw him " replied Dila innocently, making Jordi's heart feel in the squeeze .

" If he's not Jidan..would you accept my love ? " Task Jordi with a serious face .

" Will answer me ! " Snapping Jordi .

" I don't know "answered Dila as she moved from her seat .

Jordi pulls Dila's body, hugging the girl tightly . Dila was only glued, she did not refuse nor react to the man's embrace .

" Let's go home ": said Jordi then . He walked quickly to the parking lot . Dila was speechless as she looked at the man's back . There was so much guilt in that man .

Jordi sat on the sofa while holding her head that hurt . What he heard he did not understand .

In a doldrums he called someone who might be able to brighten his tangled mind .

" Hello Bim..! , are you busy ? " Task Jordi while scolding her head after the person she called who was none other than Bima received her phone call .

" I'm on vacation, what's up ? "Bima's voice sounds hoarse typical wake up .

" Is there anything I want to ask you, this is about Jidan's accident, is there any discrepancy found in your investigation ? " Task Jordi .

" What do you mean by awkwardness ? " Ask Bima .

" Anything, no matter how small it is, is an awkwardness that leads to the possibility that the ashes in the car are not Jidan" Jordi said calmly .

" I don't know , but I'll find out , what's up ? " Ask Bima .

" There are things I have to make sure of "answer Jordi while saying thank you .

Jordi threw her body into the bed, she remembered Dila's face just now, there was a worry in her eyes .

" Did she start loving me, or did she start to doubt your love ? " Murm Jordi while staring at the ceiling of the hotel room .

" What are you doing ? " Isabella's voice made Dila turn from her gaze to the night star . The girl was lying on a chair near the pool .

" Just look at the stars " replied Dila with a smile .

" Everyone knows you're looking at a star, but what are you doing ? " Ask Bella .

"What do you mean by question ? " Dila asked not understand .

" There are three things a person does when he looks at a 'star, first he will count it . It was done by people who were confused or unable to sleep . Second he will tell the stars . It was done by someone who was longing for the person he loved or was sad & the last one looking for the star was done by a person who lived with much hope and full of happiness . " Answer Isabella

" Who said that ,? " Task Dila .

" I.., did you not hear what I just said "answered Isabella with a laugh .

" What are you thinking? " Task Isabella with a smile .

Dila shook her head, The girl chose to shut up and looked back at the stars .

" Bella's... I heard you loved Jidan so much "said Dila arrived .

Isabella looked at her cousin's face, she tried to guess the direction of the girl's conversation .

" What made you fall in love with her ? " Tanya Dila a moment later .

" Because he's good-looking, well, and he's the first person to care about me "Isabella answered honestly .

" If anyone else had the same attitude toward you right now would you love him as much as you love Jidan ? " Task Dila .

" I don't know . Love does not come for a reason, it is simply born in our hearts without us noticing "his cousin replied while lying next to him .

" Do you love her ? " She suddenly asked .

" Jordi.... Are you starting to fall in love with her ? " Isabella asked again because Dila did not answer .

Dila took a deep breath, The girl stared at the night sky without blinking .

" Am I starting to love her ? " Dila's mumbling repeated Isabella's words

" Would that time make a man still love despite having been separated for so long ?" Dila back mumbling .

" Who do you mean ? " Ask Isabella .

" If...if Jidan were still alive would he just love me? , wouldn't he forget me ? " Crazy looking at his cousin's face

" I don't know, at that time I knew he loved you so much, that there was no room for anyone else in his heart" Isabella said .

" How do you know ? " Task Dila .

" He rejected my love before I said it "Isabella smiled thinly .

" You know what he said ?! "

" Don't expect more from me than friendship . Because my heart belongs to someone ", he says it with his soldiers face "the story of Bella .

Dila laughed at her cousin's story . I don't know why he felt so happy to hear that story .

" I think you'd be a very happy couple if it didn't happen, all because he wanted to help me , sorry Dila I made you lose something very valuable just because I wanted to exchange it for someone like me " Isabella said sadly .

Dila was stunned to hear the words of the beautiful girl beside her .

" Changed it ? " Task Dila

" If he doesn't save me, you'll stay together, you'll have to lose him just because of a cousin like I wanted to see you" Isabella said .

" It's not all because of my stupid words "answe Dila .

" What ?! " Ask Bella .

" You know I used to be so jealous when I saw a pair of brothers, I became a kara after eyang died, I felt so lonely then I once said even if only in the heart ," I would trade it for anything if I was given a brother ." At that time I thought brother was two people who had a blood relationship . But now I realize it's not blood relations that make a person a brother, but affection . Lilis, Mak Asih , mang Karman and Gunawan's grandparents are people who have no blood relation with me, but they love me wholeheartedly . I shouldn't have said that stupid thing " said Dila in a sorry tone .

" I think God is punishing me " continued Dila .

" That's impossible ..." Isabella mutters .

" Eyang once taught me to think and say good things so that our lives are always good "Dila said while staring at the stars .

" Eyang..what should I do now ? " Task Dila to the stars in the sky .

" What do you mean ? " Task Isabella confused .

" I asked the wisest man "answered Dila while closing her eyes .

" Did you hear your question ? " Isabella's Mumbles .

" He said he would watch me " replied Dila with a smile .

" Silver...." Call Isabella soft .

" Hes...." Answer Dila lazily .

" Is your God really there? ? , would I be surrounded by people who love me like you if I prayed like you ? " Task Isabella innocently .

Dila laughed at Isabella's question which was like a child's question .

" Did your mother not teach you ? " Task Dila with a concerned tone . All this time Isabella did not hold any beliefs .

" For us Muslims generally we believe Allah is God for all beings and nature . But it all depends on our respective beliefs . I believe my Lord God Almighty will give all the good if we do good to anyone regardless of beliefs, social status and skin color . That's what I was taught . " Dila tried to explain according to the knowledge she had .

" Even if you don't pray like you do ? " Ask Isabella .

" Do'a is a request or a request . I think every religion teaches its people to ask only their God " replied Dila with a smile .

" I think you should read a lot of books" Dila said as she moved out of her sleep and stepped towards the Villa ..

" Where are you going ! " Isabella called him .

" I'm cold let's go to sleep "answer Dila .

" What's cold ? ,. How do you face the winter "grunts Isabella while following Dila . The brunette girl was twitching spoiled on her cousin's petite body .

" Why are you so tiny ? " Eject

" Noisy..!! , We are only five centimetres apart " cried Dila in her ear making her deaf instantly .

Dila laughed seeing Isabella's red face, she immediately ran before the girl went berserk .
