The Love Competition

80 .s the same opportunities .

Jordi stared at Dila 's face, her puffy eyes and Dila's reddened nose were different things that had made her for the first time consider a girl who had been crying looks beautiful .

"Wash your face and join us under " said Jordi while rubbing Dila's head .

" Grandfather ? " Task Dila .

" Go to his room if you want to say goodbye, we haven't bathed his body . We are waiting for Adit , he will soon come " replied Jordi while rubbing Dila's face .

" I'm sorry.. I should have comforted you " said Dila as she looked at Jordi guiltily .

Jordi smiled flatly as she gently rubbed the white and chewy cheeks that were in front of her .

" We know you love him so much "Jordi replied .

" Replace your clothes and meet her one last time" Jordi said as she got up from her seat .

Dila just nodded while staring at Jordi . The girl remained silent on the bed until the lover left her .

A few minutes later Dila went downstairs after changing clothes . The living room was filled by several people, among them there was an ustadz and some people who were teaching . Madam Nisa immediately approached Dila . Both hugged .

" We will bathe him immediately , Talk to him "he said, taking Dila to Mr. Gunawan's room .

In room ', madam Irma was also there along with mistress Kirana and Tania They hugged each other and strengthened each other . After madam Nisa spoke to everyone, Dila stayed alone in the room .

Long time the girl was stunned , her puffy eyes stared blankly at the face of Mr. Gunawan who looked so calm . There were many things he wanted to say, yet he chose to be silent while occasionally taking a deep breath .

No matter how long , a very familiar figure entered the room . Still wearing an officer's uniform, Mr. Aditya entered the room . His face looked stiff , the middle-aged man patted Dila's shoulder slowly .

" We have to be sincere Dila, just say good-bye . Do not weep for the one who goes to the Catholic "said the man flat .

Dila could only nod , then looked at the face of the charisma-filled lord Aditya .

Mr. Aditya sits on a chair located next to Dila . He stared at Mr. Gunawan's body for a moment and then clasped a cold hand in front of him .

" Goodbye pa..., forgive all my mistakes, your son did many things that make papa worried during life "slowly murmured .

Dila got out of her chair, she wanted to give Mr. Aditya some privacy .

The girl slowly left the room so that Mr. Aditya could say anything to Mr. Gunawan .

Dila chose to join some family members who were in the living room . The girl sat down in the corner of the room . Not long ago Mr. Aditya came and asked for the event to bathe the body immediately in person .

The family planned to bury Mr. Gunawan after the Dzuhur prayer . Meanwhile, many guests have come to express their condolences both from among businessmen and from among officials . Everyone did not expect the departure of Mr. Gunawan, although he had a heart disease but doctors have stated he has recovered , and lately looks healthier and fitter .

After all the process of handling the body finished the funeral immediately began . All the family members who came to take Mr. Gunawan to his final resting place (including the distant relatives of the wife .guests who were mostly employees also accompanied his departure .

Funeral events went well . many do'a and flowers that accompanied the departure of Mr. Gunawan for the last time . one by one the family began to leave the cemetery area .the atmosphere that had been crowded became quiet .

the son and daughter of Mr. Gunawan one by one began to step away from the cemetery, Dila and Jordi became the last people who were still silent near the grave of the successful businessman . while Adam and Mak Asih chose to wait for them in the cemetery parking area .

" Dila.." call Jordi slowly while reaching for Dila's body that rests in silence .

" let's go home ..." he said after Dila turned weak .

" Some time.., in a moment "answer Dila slowly .

" Goodbye Grandpa..., may grandfather calm down in nature there "murm Dila .

" we are all sincerely releasing the departure of grandfather, hopefully grandfather also sincerely take off all unfinished grandfather's business here "Bisik Dila, his hand rubbed the still new gravestone swab .

Dila looked at Jordi who was staring at him then nodded weakly . Both of them then left the tomb of master Gunawan who was still wet .

" you want to go there ? " ask Jidan who saw Dila was staring at Mr. Aditya who and his family who was praying at the tomb of Jidan which was not far from the place, but the girl just shook her head slowly .

" i'm tired." she replied slowly as she stepped towards the parking area .

without her noticing Tania and Madam Irma were staring at her loss sadly . while Jordi was just taking a deep breath, she knew Not because she had forgotten Jidan the girl did not want to go on pilgrimage , but because now Dila is not sure if the one in the tomb is Jidan .

Jordi walks slowly behind Dila, both of them just mute until they get to the car .even on the way home the atmosphere looks silent , jordi sits next to Adam driving a car , ' he said , while Dila and Mak Asih in the passenger seat .

occasionally Jordi looked back & saw that Dila was just silent while staring out the window .their way home was accompanied by a drizzling rain that came down . as soon as Dila's house was still silent, the girl chose to head to her room after thanking Adam and Jordi . Jordi just stared at Dila's departure without being able to say anything , The man also chose to rest into his room .

It's been two days Mr. Gunawan is home, the family always hold Tahlilan every night , and everyone is still grieving .everyone is late in their respective activities to entertain themselves .

Dila chose to spend time in the garden or balcony during the day and joined the guests who attended to pray for Mr. Gunawan at night . then choose to go to sleep when all guests have gone home . He even avoided talking to Jordi .

As night falls, Jordi silently enters Dila's room, staring at the girl with a million questions that never find an answer . He will leave after being satisfied to look at Dila who is sleeping .

Dila instead of not knowing Jordi visited her room, but the girl chose to close her eyes . I don't know why he didn't want to say anything . He doesn't even know what his heart wants now .

That afternoon Dila was sitting quietly on the balcony . His eyes stared at the scenery around the housing that was visible from the place of that place .

" Hi Dila.." a familiar voice made Dila's daydreams crumble, as she was sitting pensively on the third floor balcony .

" But Bima...." Said Dila while dumbfounded to see the arrival of Bima .

Bima smiled at him , then walked slowly over to Dila and unceremoniously sat down next to the girl .

" Hemh..here it's soothing...." Mumbled Bima while staring at Dila's face that looks thin .

" Aren't you in Ambon ? " Tanya Dila while staring at Bima for a moment .

" Well.all of a sudden there was a change of plans . You okay, are you okay ? " Bima looked at him unblinking .

Dila simply nodded while trying to smile at the man's question .

" It's been a long time that guy..." Bima Gumam .

" Who ? " Tanya Dila wonder . Bima just laughed as she raised her chin, pointing towards the stairs .

Dila followed Bima's gaze, the girl immediately moved from her seat .

" Brother Ivan. !" Pekik Dila Seraya ran hugging a figure she had not met for a long time .

Ivan rubbed the head of Dila who was hugging him tightly .

" I'm sorry .., you have to be patient "The man patted Dila's back slowly .

" Thank you brother ..." Dila rubbed her puffy eyes, the girl immediately let go of her embrace .the two walked towards the chair .

" Here the scenery is quite decent, like being on a mountain" said Ivan breaking the silence after they sat together in silence for a while .

" i miss climbing " muttered Dila

" let's go with "saw Ivan fast

Dila took a deep breath , her head lowered for a moment while exhaling slowly .

the girl laughed discordantly then started sobbing while lowering her head the two men who were beside her simply fell silent, Ivan patted Dila's back gently . after a while Dila's sobs began to subside , Ivan held out a packet of tissue from his jacket pocket .

" thanks ..." muttered Dila while cleaning the tears and snot in her nose .

" Felt better ? " ask Ivan while looking at Dila who is now puffy-eyed, and her nose reddened .

" i don't know.." replied Dila as she sighed softly .

" i can no longer even tell if I'm okay or if I'm just trying to be good" Dila replied as she took a deep breath .

" phone me at any time if you need a interlocutor" said Ivan as he gently looked at Dila's face .

" Sorry..." Mumam Dila slowly .

" For what ? " Ask Ivan .

" I always share my burden with Brother Ivan . I feel like I lost my home to return . Feels so empty here "Dila rubbed her chest that again feels tight . Months of tears flowed back out of his eyes .

" Why did God do this to me ? . Why does everyone I love always leave me ? " Task Dila as if talking to herself .

" Sssset, must not say so "Ivan rubbed Dila's back gently .

" Dad , Mother , Eyang , Adi , now grandfather . I was always left out "murm Dila slowly .

" They didn't leave you . Didn't you ever say that our loved ones always live in our hearts . Their kindness, way of life, and wise counsel will always be in our hearts "the speech of Ivan made Dila speech silent .

" Losing someone is not the end of everything . All things must pass when it is time for us to learn sincerely . Brother knows you can , you're the most powerful girl I've ever met " Ivan crouched down in front of Dila's chair while smiling at the silent girl he so admired .

" Bold, cheerful, and kind-hearted attitude is the character your mother left behind . The love of nature and the people around you is a person who is embedded in your heart . No one really goes, they are just in a different place . So .... Cry for a while, after that you have to be stronger . They won't be happy if you're like this "Ivan wiped the tears on Dila's cheek .

The two were silent, staring at each other for a while . While Bima only listened to their conversation in silence . The man had heard about Ivan's close relationship with Dila from Jidan, that's why he invited the man to come along .

" Let's smile, this isn't a face I know . Seriously, you look very ugly " said Ivan after Dila looked calm .

Dila chuckled as she hit Ivan's arm .

" Now so...I look beautiful with that laugh "Ivan rubbed Dila's head gently .

" Gaess.I go down first, you guys just talk calmly, yeah.." Bima interrupted them .

" Yes go there you disturb here " replied Ivan as he moved in front of Dila .

" Eh.the basics of ****** ! " Makian Bima made Dila and Ivan laugh .

" I'm going to get some food first, hungry.." Bima stepped away from that place .

" The rest for me Bim..." Shouts of Ivan only considered the wind then by Bima .

Bima stepped down , nun his steps stopped when he realized there was Jordi behind the door to the stairs .

Bima urung to open her mouth when she saw Jordi put a finger on her own lips, the two then left the place together . They walked in silence until arriving at the pool area in the backyard .

" Bik.i want coffee " said Bima to Ms. Narti who is very familiar with Bima . When Aditya's family still lived in the house he often visited .

" Yes, Bima..., want to eat ? Let me get you " replied Ms. Narti who was arranging some servants .

" May bik.bibik know someone else laper " replied Bima while laughing .

The two men chose to sit by the pool .

" Why Lo ? " Bima looked at the silent Jordi while looking at the water in the quiet pool .

" The man above..., is he close to Dila ? " Tanya Jordi who was unable to hold back her curiosity .

" You're jealous ? " Ask Bima .

Jordi fell silent while smiling wryly . A waiter served coffee to both .

" Thank you tea..." Said Bima to the servant ,. And answered a polite nod by him .

" Ivan is like a teacher, brother, and Dila's best friend . He knew more about Dila than anyone "Bima spoke casually after sipping the black coffee that was served .Jordi stared at Bima in disbelief .

" I'm serious Bro.., It looks like the man is the true first love Dila "Bima's remark made Jordi look at him cynically .

" You don't believe it ? " Task Bima while laughing .

" Relieve "answer Jordi indifferently .

" How are you guys ? " Ask Bima .

" This is the food for Bima.." Ms. Narti cut off their conversation while carrying a plate of rice filled with side dishes .

" Whoa..makasih Bik.." said Bima happily .

" Eat a lot" said Ms. Narti while putting a glass of water on the table . Bima looked at the side dishes on her plate with a hungry look .

" Bibik go first , there are many more klu not full added aja " said Ms. Narti kindly . The mature-aged woman left both .

" Safe is bi.." said Bima while eating the food in front of her .

" Dila received my love "Jordi's words made Bima choke, the man hurriedly sipped white water .

" Dila said it would give me a chance to make her fall in love " muttered Jordi while looking at Bima's shocked face .

" Shut up " muttered Bima in disbelief .

Jordi smiled at Bima's reaction which she thought was excessive .

" Are you serious ?! " Tanya Bima who still does not believe what she heard .

Bima took a deep breath, seeing Jordi nodding without hesitation .

" Good..." Bima said after being silent for a while, the young man returned to feed his mouth .

" You happy ? " Task Bima after having eaten almost half her meal .

" i don't know.he didn't even say anything to me, but he could talk so much to the man " replied Jordi as he sipped his coffee .

Bima was just silent, the man was cool with his food as if he did not hear Jordi's words .

" I'm not a man who has any confidence in him . He even seemed to avoid me since the funeral grandfather "Jordi grabbed a cigarette belonging to Bima lying on the table , a few moments later a white puff of smoke came out of his mouth and both nostrils .

The two are silent, only sounding clanking spoon that collides with the plate because the act of Bima . A moment later Bima placed an empty plate on the table , the man drank water to the toilet , then grabbed a cigarette .

" How was Dila and Jidan's relationship first ? " Task Jordi after the two of them were silent while smoking their cigarettes .

" Not good " replied Bima relaxed .

" Dila loved her so much, how could someone love so deeply "murm Jordi slowly .

" I'm not sure I can make him love me like that" continued Jordi as if talking to himself .

" Then do not continue "answer Bima relaxed .

" What do you mean ? " Task Jordi while putting her cigarette in the ashtray, pressing the cigarette until it breaks and goes out .

" If you are not sure he will love you then don't you continue " said Bima while looking at Jordi's face inside .

" Dila is special, she will hold every word spoken from her lips . Even if it makes him feel sick . You know what it is, right ? . If Jidan arrives back your relationship will put him in a difficult situation . He would never hurt you even if it hurt him . And I know until this moment he still loves Jidan . So don't you keep going if you're not sure that he'll fall in love with you . Your relationship will only hurt each other " said Bima with a serious face .

" I want to meet Adit's om, is he there ? " Task Bima while getting up from her seat after turning off her cigarette .

" Are you still looking for that guy ? " Task Jordi with a stiff face .

" If he's still alive shouldn't we make him go back to his real family " replied Bima calmly .

" Can you be on my side this time" said Jordi with a serious face .

" About what this is "ask Bima while shaking her waist .

" Help me win Dila's heart" said Jordi slowly .

" That race is between the three of you . I don't care about that . Like I said earlier, win her heart instead of her . You two have the same opportunity . Because there are things that Jidan cannot give , and you can give it " replied Bima while turning around .

" What is that..? ! " Jordi chases after Bima who passed .

Bima did not answer him, the man stepped into the living room without saying a word .

Actually what Jidan does not have and he has , Jordi tried to digest Bima's speech just now . But his mind went back to Dila's little smile because of Ivan , the man was so close to Dila . He was really envious of that man .
