Meeting an Ex



Bruk !!


I accidentally hit someone's body in front of a shelf that displays the needs of milk and diapers in a mini market with a blue logo.


"Sorry.sorry Sir!" I regretted not being careful, and made some of the groceries in the man's hand fall.


I lowered my head to pick up the item lying on the floor of the mini market and simultaneously the man also lowered his body.


'Dukk!


"Awww.awww!"


I grimaced in pain as my head clashed against the chest of the man's field.


"Sorry ... !! "


it was the man's turn to apologize. I immediately raised my head towards him because I really felt the rumbling tingle of the sound of the man's bus.


"Oh my God ! " i screamed loudly unable to see the scene in front of me.


The man really made me collapse, I immediately rushed to leave him without trying to apologize and help him pick up his fallen goods.


"Dina..Linda !! wait!!" the man was in a hurry.


I kept walking half-run away from the man.


My chest is pounding, Oh my God, why do I have to meet again? why God ?


"Daughter of Kirana!!" the shout was a bit loud so that made some buyers in this mini market turn their heads, maybe in the opinion that we are a couple of lovers who are struggling.


My leg was almost nearing the exit suddenly my hand was forced from behind.


"Deliver ! Let go of me !!" I tried to take off my right hand which was in his grasp.


But the man did not want to let go.


"Din, please. I'd like to talk to you for a second. "


''There's nothing to talk about anymore!" concluded me quickly


Suddenly he hugged my shoulder, I was shocked and tried to wriggle.


"Din, please just give me 5 minutes after that I won't bother you!"


Since some people had already seen the two of us like a soap opera scene, finally rather than being embarrassed for having attracted the attention of the other buyers, I immediately pushed her body.


" Let go of me first!" my whisper in the tone I pressed signifies an objection to his request.


Finally the man let go of his embrace. And I immediately walked to one corner in front of the minimarket that there are several seats for coffee buyers in the convenience store.


"Din, how are you?" her greeting is soft. Her eyes glared at me sharply and ahhhh.


"Okay, what's the need? I don't have much time!" I said, throwing my face away, not wanting me to look into the eagle's eyes again


"I just want to apologize and forgive you" he said slowly not at all not to let go of his gaze towards me.


"I've forgiven you for a long time, and excuse me I have many important needs!" answer me while standing. His hand immediately pulled my hand slowly.


I was surprised, a gentle touch but the pressing of his hand made me want to bring out the clear water that had been raking on my eyelids. But I don't want him to know I want to cry.


"Dinda, believe me I still love you from the past until now. I don't know why God brought us here again after all the years I've been looking for you. I lost track of you!" describe the story from his mouth with a vibrating Vibra voice.


"Hindu! I miss you, Dinda! " repeated again.


The sound of the cell phone broke the silence of both of us. I pulled my phone out of my little bag.


Mas Rayhan called, my quiet husband turned out to call me maybe he felt I was too long into this mini market.


" Assalamualaikum Mas" I said after wiping the green image on my phone screen.


" Greetings Ma, where are you going? Buy Diaper to Dubai?" Selorohnya but still with a soft voice no snapping tone.


Tumben My husband speaks loudly, but as long as I know him he never says out loud. He's a quiet man.


" mm yeah this is coming back, I'll get a martabak Koh ahoy ya Pa" I replied without giving a clear reason.


I had a glance at this man in front of me who was still sitting relaxed while playing his phone.


" Yes be careful not to speed. If the Martabaknya rame you do not need to buy directly home just Mah, Tania's love is waiting" said Mas Rayhan.


" Yes Pah, if you cry for sufor first yes" my message to Mas Rayhan. afterwards I closed my conversation.


The man looked at me and smiled wryly.


"I have to go ! I can't stay here long!"


"Well, at least I'm relieved to see that you're okay and have forgiven me" he replied.


I was silent for a moment taking a sip of the longing and hate that was on my chest.


" Yes.goodbye" my saying


" in' din..Don't say that, it hurts so much to hear it." he concluded, looking fixedly at my eyes. I avoided her eyes.


" It hurts more where to go without saying goodbye and disappear?" I said ketus.


"I'm sorry." Sorry words slid from his lips It was unbearable to see him like that, his hands clenched in front of his chest.


" Can I have your phone number?"


The shadow of my past with him slowly began to wander in my head chasing with the ripple of my longing.


"For what? we're done. No need Mas" my ring.


"Din, I'm happy to hear that I still call me Mas"


Then he took something from his wallet, a business card slid into my palm.


"Well, if you don't want to give me a cell phone number. Here's my business card. If you need any help me don't hesitate to contact me" I fell silent and soon passed away.


"Din, please save my number! there are important things that you should know even if everything is too late but at least it can relieve me" he said slowly and then rose to leave me who was still standing dumbstruck.


...........


The accidental meeting with Mas Bagas my ex-lover in my college days saved a million longs that were not complete but all was too late. I have been married to my best friend Mas Rayhan in the past and we have had a sweet little daughter named Tania.


I daydreamed in front of my balcony railing. The breeze of the night made me even more swept away by the stories of the past.


We spent time together in college. Mas Bagas was a 1st grade elder brother level above. He who is humorous and sociable is able to melt my frozen heart.


Bagas Pramana is a dashing and handsome man he is the chairman of BEM and is active in the campus organization. I know when I follow a new student. I was the one who got the punishment from my senior to clean up the class because I was late. Some senior lady started to prank telling me as if I was her maid and slave.


I was late because I had to take Dad to the hospital first. Dad had a heart attack and at home it was just me and my mom. Mas Farhan My first brother has lived apart from home because he was married.
