Waiting for Love for Me

13 PRIVILEGES

One month later. In the room, Alila was preparing formal clothes along with all her equipment that she would wear tomorrow.

After everything was ready, she placed it next to the dressing table. His hand grabbed the phone on the table and took it to the bed. Alila broke down her body that was quite tired after a day of shopping for clothes and shoes accompanied by Alano.

Alila unlocked her phone screen and then touched her finger on the gallery icon. He looked for a folder he had specially created to store the Dimas photos.

He doesn't have many photos of Dimas on his phone yet. Only a few, even most of the results of his efforts to take photos secretly without the knowledge of Dimas.

He chose one photo taken during the graduation ceremony of the faculty first. A photo of her two with a thin smiling Dimas staring at the camera.

Dimas who looked dashing with a suit he was wearing stood beside Alila who was dressed up beautifully with kebaya and batik cloth wrapped around her slender body.

"I miss our togetherness like in this photo, Dim." Alila spoke softly as she continued to stare at the memorable photo. One finger gently touched the phone screen right on Dimas's face.

"I want to tell you something important, Dim. I want you to know before I start tomorrow morning. I need your spirit, Dim."

In her heart Alila really wanted that to happen. But he had to realize the fact that hope would not be possible.

Alila took a long breath. He wiped the clear water in the corner of his eye.

"I'm sorry, Dim. I'm carried away by my feelings."

At the same time in a different place, Dimas and all his teammates were sitting together in one of the rooms. They waited for their team leader to meet the supervisor at the goods storage section.

Shortly after, they were called one by one to meet with the supervisor. Each of them received a small box.

After being given a little briefing by the supervisor and team leader, they are welcome to open the box and use it according to the rules that have been submitted previously.

The ringing of the phone call shocked Alila. And he was even more surprised when he saw the caller's contact on his phone screen. He wakes up and sits in his place.

"Dimas.." he muttered in disbelief.

Without waiting any longer he immediately shifted the green button and immediately stuck the phone in his ear.

"I..."

Ted heard a voice he had missed so much all along. His heart was pounding so hard.

"Dim, you...?!"

"It's me, Al. Do you not believe? I miss you."

Alila smiled between the teardrops on both of her cheeks. Moreover, hearing Dimas convey his longing, made him very happy.

"Y-yes, Dim. How can you call me? You're okay, aren't you, Dim? You all right?"

Alila was worried because Dimas should not be able to contact anyone at this time.

"I'm fine, Al. Listen to me, my time is not long. I got the privilege to hold my phone for thirty minutes."

"Have you contacted your parents, Dim?"

Alila reminded Dimas.

"Already, Al. I called and talked to them. Now I want to spend the rest of the time talking to you."

Alila smiled at Dimas' words. He feels happier.

"Why did you get this privilege, Dim?"

"My team got the highest rating while here. So we got this chance, Al."

"Dim, you know, I was just thinking about you, because I wanted to tell you something. And now that my wish has come true, now I can tell you.."

"What, Al?"

"Tomorrow morning I start work, Dim. My job application was accepted."

Far away there, Dimas who heard it showed a big smile. He was happy to know the good news.

"Congratulations, Al. I'm glad to hear that. But I'm a little sorry, for not being able to accompany you on your first day of work tomorrow. I'm sorry, Al."

"It's okay, Dim. I've been quite happy to be able to tell you this before I start work."

Remembering something. She was afraid that Alila would forget about it.

"Al, have you prepared everything for tomorrow morning?"

"I've got everything ready, Dim. I bought clothes and shoes with Alano."

"Get your look, Al."

(In your office there must be a lot of men who will pay attention to you, Al.)

"I know, Dim. I can take care of myself. Thanks for reminding me."

Dimas smiled with relief. At least he knew all this time Alila always looked simple and she was not the type of woman who likes to preen.

"Dim.."

"Yes, Al?"

"Thank you for remembering me and calling me in your not-so-much time."

"Where might I forget you, Al. The only thing on my mind were two. Contacting my parents and you."

(Thank you for making me your priority, Dim.)

"Al, I'd like to see you for a second.."

(Your face always looms over my days here, Al.)

"Yes, Dim."

Without wasting any more time, Dimas immediately opened the video call.

It was as if there were millions of fireworks flashing and exploding alternately in Dimas' chest, as soon as he saw Alila's face on his phone screen.

"I..."

A happy roar also emanated on Alila's face as she stared at the face that she had missed for a month and a half. His heart was pounding erratically. His whole body and face were warm.

"Dim..."

For a moment they were silent, just staring at each other, locking eyes on each other. Satisfy the thirst of longing that they have endured for so long.

"I miss you so much, Al."

"Me too, Dim."

They fell silent again. Each of them kept nailing a glance at his phone screen.

Across the street, Dimas gets a code from a nearby supervisor if he has five minutes left.

"Al, my time is up."

"Guard your health, Dim. And continue your work there well."

"You too, Al. Work well and don't forget your lunch at the office. I'm sorry I haven't been able to accompany you."

Alila nodded her head and continued to smile.

"After coming home, I'll see you soon."

"I'm waiting for you, Dim."

They both gave their best smiles before going back apart.

"I love you, Al."

Alila widened her smile when she heard Dimas say.

"I love you, Dim."

Finally the call has been cut off. Dimas set his breath that had hunted because of his mixed feelings during calling Alila earlier.

After calming down, Dimas turned off his phone, put it back in the box and returned it to the waiting supervisor. But before that he had time to write an important message and send it to someone.

Meanwhile, Alila looks back at her picture with Dimas still on the phone screen after Dimas completes his call.

The smile still continued to puff up her lips. His face looked happier and more vibrant.

Alila kept her phone in her chest. His eyes closed while continuing to recall his conversation with Dimas. Not long after that, he fell asleep in his sleep with a smiling face.
