This morning Dika did not try to pick up, because there was no more business of percussion. Although she was eager to do so, but the girl looked still angry but at least Ercilia was already willing to talk to her a little. Around ten o'clock Dika decided to go to his father's estate. Help the Father's work there. A few hours on the farm, Dika felt bad, and his nose was slightly stuffed, his head heavy, several times he sneezed.
Maybe it's the effect of last night's rain. Her thought.
At lunchtime, Dika decided to go to Ercilia's house. He wanted to take Ercilia to work. Until there the house looked lonely, Dika knocked on the door and before long Ercilia opened the door with a neat dress. It seems like Ercilia is getting ready to go to work.
"How quiet is it, Cil?" ask Dika
"Mother and Father are going to brother's house. There's a wedding event." Ercilia explained flatly.
Dika only oh ria. Then ask again.
"Are you leaving?"
"A little while." Ercilia replied still without expression.
He was silent and still standing. Ercilia gave a quick glance and told Dika to sit down.
"Please sit down."
Dika sat down immediately. Like a obedient little boy when his mother scolded him.
They shut each other up. Ercilia seemed to be busy with her mobile phone. These are the most awkward and awkward moments. Last night Dika thought Ercilia was willing to change her attitude in dealing with him. Ercilia has changed a little. Not angry and sessential yesterday. Although now the girl did not talk much, Dika knew Ercilia was already able to soak her willingness and anger.
Dika tried to repeat the question several times Dika asked. But I haven't got the answer yet.
"Cil, are you still mad at me?"
Ercilia immediately stared intently at Dika. Then he looked at Dika full of anger.
"How can you think I'm not mad at you? You've been playing tricks on me, lying to me, and letting me be fooled for months!"
Dika wanted to say something, but Ercilia first continued her sentence.
"You purposely covered up the death of the Hero from me. And you've been playing me all along! You know that the existence of Wira is very important and meaningful to me. And you easily lied to me. You think this game is exciting?"
"I'm sorry Cil." said Dika slowly.
"You'll never understand how broken I was when I found out there was no more. And worse, I found out after five months of his disappearance. Good Lord! You are so outrageous! She's my lover, but I didn't know she was gone.......!!! Ercilia's voice sounded raucous. Now he sat down with a shaken body holding back the sobs. Both hands covered their faces.
Dika sat glued. Unable to say anything, he looked at the figure before him looking extremely shaken. Once again, the guilt grew deeper in his chest
"Acil.... "
Ercilia raised her tear-filled face. With a weak voice mixed with cries he asked.
"Why aren't you being straight with me? Why don't you tell me that the one who died was Wira not you?" and her crying broke back.
"I'm sorry Cil.... "
"You are so outrageous." cried Ercilia.
"You think the death of a hero is just part of your stupid game? And you think that's not important to me?? Ls that?.. Kaaaa...."
"I don't think so Cil, "cut Dika.
"You're obviously treating him like that!" Ercilia was still sobbing.
Dika held back the liquid that wanted to come out of his nose and spread his heart. He understood the girl in front of him was being destroyed. And Dika understands that. Dika knew there would be a time when he had to accept all the anger of Ercilia. Like this time, if Ercilia had only been silent and avoided it, now this girl was spilling all her anger. That's better, isn't it? Than he was kept silent. Dika thought it was good for Ercilia to spill everything so that the hatred in her heart immediately melted away. Dika was ready to accept all the anger. Dika was sure Ercilia would return as before.
Dika felt a runny nose on her. Dika rushed out and pulled everything out on the porch of the house. The dizziness he had felt since then was getting heavier. When Dika went back inside, Ercilia had already stopped her crying. She sat back in her chair.
Ercilia looked towards her watch. At two o'clock, he went inside his room to pick up the bag and came out in a hurry.
"Will you leave now?"
Ercilia just nodded. Dika went out and prepared with his motorcycle. Ercilia locked the door of the house, then stepped towards the motor Dika who had been sitting on the motorbike.
"You shouldn't have to do this anymore" said Ercilia coldly .
"Do what?" ask Dika
"Introduction to me working like this."
"It's okay. I'm happy to do it." smiled Dika while blaming her motorcycle.
"I hope you don't mind Cil."
Ercilia was silent, as if reluctant to speak to Dika.
°°°°°°°°°
At night, Dika will pick up Ercilia. The sky is back dark. I am sure it will rain again tonight. So, Dika prepared a raincoat under his motorcycle seat. Then we went to Ercilia's workplace. The clock hand already showed the number ten nights. It means Ercilia's work-time.
Because of dizziness, Dika did not dare to do the motor quickly. Arriving at Ercilia's workplace, the fashion store had just closed. Ercilia looked out from there with some of her friends. Dika also approached.
Ercilia saw Dika coming. But he shifted his eyes. One by one Ercilia's co-workers went with their invitees. As she approached him, Ercilia remained motionless from where she was standing, she completely ignored Dika's presence.
"Cil, I came to pick you up" said Dika when he arrived before Ercilia.
"I told you, you don't have to do this!"
"I told you too, if I like doing it, and I hope you don't mind."
Ercilia was silent. Dika continued to stare at Ercilia's face.
I love you, Cil, her inner self.
Finally with a hesitant step, Ercilia also approached towards the Dika motor. Dika also smiled.
Just a few dozen meters from the store. Suddenly it rained, Dika stopped the speed of his motorbike in an abandoned store.
"Rain again" said Ercilia.
"Here, I brought a raincoat. Wear it!"
"You go straight home or here first."
"Go home" Ercilia replied wryly.
Dika also restarts his motorbike. Breaking through the night under the cold rain and the cold attitude of Ercilia.
