Waiting for Love for Me

16 WHEN TO RETURN

The day keeps changing. It hasn't been a month since Alila worked. During that time he began to enjoy his time as an employee who left early in the morning and went home in the afternoon. She is grateful, just like her other best friends, she can also be immediately accepted into work after they graduated from college a few months ago.

Tonight this week, her three best friends invite Alila to gather for dinner together. Of course he was very happy because it had been almost three months since they had never gathered again.

At half-time, a message from Tama went into Alila's phone.

"Al, I'll pick you up?"

Alano, who happened to pass through her brother's open room, saw Alila was already dressed neatly in her casual suit. He didn't know his brother was leaving.

He immediately turned into Alila's room.

"Sir, where are you going? Same who?" Ask streak.

Alila stopped writing replies to Tama. He turned his head towards Alano who was already standing beside him.

"You'll meet at the cafe. Biasaalah, same Sandy, Nayla and Tama."

"Just who's up? Why didn't you tell me?"

Alila had forgotten to tell her sister, because all day she had only been resting in her room.

"You want to order a taxi with the app. But Tama just texted me if she wanted to pick me up." Alila replied calmly without any thoughts.

Alano remembered something important. He can't let it.

"Bareng is just like me, ma'am. All right, I'm going out. I'll come home, too."

Alano turned around to leave Alila's room.

"Wait for me downstairs, ma'am. I'll get myself ready for a minute."

Alila did not answer. He immediately replies to Tama's message as Tama must be waiting for her answer.

"Sorry, Tam. I'm with Alano. He also wants to go out for a show. See you at the cafe."

Sent a message to Tama.

In the cafe that has been determined, four friends back together after a busy time with each busyness.

"Finally, we can meet again. Although it is incomplete without Dimas."

Nayla opened her voice and started to take pictures with Alila and the others.

(Dim, not just me, we all miss you.).

"Our workplace is also scattered everywhere. So it's rare to be able to hang out or just meet for lunch." Said Tama.

Since they all work, Tama is the busiest because he has to take control in a subsidiary company owned by his own family.

While enjoying food and drinks, they continue to exchange stories about their work experience during this time. Joking and boisterous laughter rang out at their tables, alternating with each other full of joy.

"Al, what part of your office are you in?" Ask Tama.

Because of his busyness, Tama is the last to know the news if Alila has worked.

"I'm in HRD, Tam." Answer Alila as necessary.

Meeting Tama again tonight reminded her of Dimas' jealousy. Alila still does not understand why Dimas can be jealous of his own best friend just because he feels that Tama secretly also put his heart on Alila.

Alila herself never thought about it. He never cared about Tama's feelings or the feelings of others. He only cares about the feelings of one person, which is Dimas.

Therefore, even though he actually did not mind it, but he still kept Dimas' feelings by obeying his request that he did not want him to get too close or walk alone with Tama.

(The four of us, there's Tama here too. Are you still jealous of him, Dim?)

"Dimas is also cool, can waltz into the most elite telecommunications companies. Though there is known to be very strict and selective in the process of hiring new employees." Said Sandy.

"I heard he said that those who participated in training in Bandung were potentially more and immediately got the status as permanent employees."

Tama added information that she knew.

Alila herself as usual she was more silent and listened to the chatter of her best friends. Especially when talking about Dimas, he chose to listen.

"Al, when did Dimas get back from Bandung? It's been almost three months, right?"

Sandy asks about Dimas' return to Alila.

Alila tries to be as reasonable as possible because she doesn't want the others to suspect her relationship with Dimas is uncertain at the moment.

"I don't know, either, San. But if calculated from the time of his departure, it's possible that he will go home next week or early the next week."

"Prepare if so, if he's back we'll eat five more.." Sandy laughed and followed the others.

It doesn't feel like the night is getting late. Finally they ended their show when Alano came to pick up the older brother.

Far away in a different place, Dimas and his friends were spending Sunday nights there with a conversation full of familiarity.

Nearly three months together made them feel like a big family. Each other has begun to know the nature and habits of each.

Although boisterous and full of jest, Dimas chose to pull over from the crowd. He looked one by one at his friends, remembering the many moments that had been created between them during that place.

His memories flew to a different place. He remembered the same togetherness he often did with Tama, Sandy, Nayla and Alila.

Suddenly he desperately missed the togetherness of the five of them.

(Are the four of you gathering without me?)

Their friendship did not always go well. Often problems come in alternating. Differences of understanding, opposition, anger sometimes they have to experience. But all of that won't last long. Love will always bring them back together.

Dimas continued to daydream until he did not realize the presence of Mr. Albi beside him. The team leader had already noticed Dimas earlier. He thought, Dimas chose himself because he was thinking about his future wife.

"Is there anything else that bothers you? Or just missing your future wife?"

Mr. Albi's question surprised Dimas who was previously unaware of the presence of his team leader nearby.

"Ah, sorry Sir. I didn't know that you were here." Dimas still didn't want to tell me anything.

"One more week we're done. Stay focused on the learning material here. Defend achievement. I'm glad our branch office can get employees like you."

"Thank you, sir."

"Yes, I want to go in. You?" Ask Mr. Albi again.

"I'm here first, sir. Friends are all still here."

"Alright, I'll stay first." Mr. Albi walked into the room.

Dimas again noticed his friends who were still busy gathering and familiarizing themselves with each other. Some of them choose to be in small groups and some are sitting together releasing laughter together.

Suddenly the shadow of Alila's face was again present greeting the heart that continued to miss him. Dimas smiled as he recalled his last moment with Alila that night. As the two of them hugged very tightly on the terrace of Alila's house.

(I'll be home in a few days, Al. I can't wait to hug you back.)
