Waiting for Love for Me

30 LOSE BEFORE THEY STEP

The Sunday night arrived. Dimas and Alila are already in a restaurant that is quite famous there. Alila has ordered various menus typical of the restaurant as a dish for their event tonight.

As Dimas requested earlier, tonight they will gather the five together with Tama, Sandy and Nayla. I don't know what will happen tonight, Alila is trying to prepare herself and her heart to face her friends later.

Unlike Dimas who remained calm as if unaffected by all the possibilities they would face in a moment.

"Dim, I'm scared."

"Fear why? Don't think too much about things that don't happen."

Dimas' hand grabbed Alila's hand and grasped it gently. The look in his eyes was very shady, trying to give peace to Alila.

"Everything's gonna be fine, Al. The five of us have been friends for a long time, already know each other's character. They'll understand."

"Yes, Dim. I hope they will understand our relationship."

Dimas smiled very sweetly, as sweet as his attitude towards Alila who was always different and special.

Shortly afterwards three people were waiting to walk together towards a circle-shaped table that Dimas had ordered for the five of them.

Alila first approached Nayla to greet her and embrace her. Nayla looks carefree to meet Alila, she wants to exchange stories about many things with Alila.

"Night, Nay. How are you?"

"Aaa. good night, Al. Your face looks different tonight."

Nayla deliberately looked at Alila and Dimas alternately with questioning gazes. Alila smiled without answering Nayla's words. He pulled Nayla's hand to sit next to him.

Before sitting down Nayla greeted Dimas while throwing her nosy smile. While Sandy and Tama also greet Dimas, shake hands and exchange hugs.

"How are you guys? Especially you, San. Because I've met Tama before."

"I should have asked you, Dim. But it looks like you're doing just fine, even looking very happy."

Sandy begins to attack Dimas and Alila. But Dimas as if not disturbed, he just smiled thinly with a cold gaze as usual.

Alila greets Sandy as well as Tama, then sits back between Dimas and Nayla. Sandy follows Nayla, followed by Tama, who sits between Sandy and Dimas.

Drinks and appetizers are served. In between the chat, they began to enjoy the available dishes on the table.

"Congratulations, Dim. I heard you were a full-time employee in your office." Said Sandy.

"Yes. Thank you." Thank you."

Some of the glasses looked empty. Alila stood up leaving the table and walked towards the reservation table to add some drinks and mineral water.

As she sat back in her place, Alila heard Sandy ask Tama.

"Tam, do you know anything about Dimas Dann....." Sandy cut off her own words.

"Alila?" Tama replied followed by her eyes that glanced towards Alila.

For a moment he stared at that beautiful face with a trembling heart. Dimas who knew the direction of Tama's view was silent. She held herself back even though her heart started to heat up seeing Tama's gentle gaze on Alila.

"What's wrong with them?" Tama threw back her question at Sandy.

Sandy's eyes looked at Dimas and Alila full of probes. He tried to watch every reaction from the two of them.

"I've seen them together in Kang Budi's meatball stall.." Said Sandy.

"Aaah, when was the day I also saw Alila and Dimas in the mall. I wanted to get close but I was invited to go home with my friends." Nayla said loudly making Alila a little surprised.

"Slow down your voice, baby! My earache.."

Sandy covered Nayla's mouth with her hand making Nayla reflexively also hold Sandy's hand.

"Ohhhmm.." Nayla's still trying to let go of Sandy's hand.

Alila who saw him smiled widely. For a moment he forgot his fear and nervousness.

"Monday yesterday I had a need in Alila's office. And I also met those who had just had lunch together outside." Add Tama.

All eyes were now on Dimas and Alila. They were waiting for an explanation that would come out of the mouths of the two.

Dimas' gaze moved towards Alila beside him. His girlfriend was also staring at him. The two of them seemed to be looking for a deal to answer the curiosity of his friends.

"What do you want to know?"

Dimas finally opened his voice. Inevitably, sooner or later, now or later, everyone must know the truth.

"What is your relationship now?" Ask Sandy.

"As you can see. We're not hiding anything."

"Are you two dating?" Nayla Cecar.

"I never asked her to be my girlfriend."

"Do you like each other?" Ask Sandy again.

"Is there a ban on that?"

Sandy felt indignant herself with all of Dimas's answers. Dimas' attitude was like that from the beginning.

Alila turned to Dimas for approval. Dimas looked at her gently and nodded slowly.

Simultaneously, a main dish had been served at their table.

"We should have dinner first. After that I'll answer your questions."

Still with curiosity lingering in each other's minds, the five of them finally enjoyed dinner first.

She finished her dinner quickly. Their talk this time made his appetite disappear so he only swallowed a small amount of food. The rest is just a great curiosity for the answers from Dimas and Alila later.

Not half an hour later, everyone had finished their dinner. The atmosphere returned silent with all the gaze directed at Dimas and Alila.

Alila let out a long sigh, arranged her heart and braced herself to say all to her companions.

"alright. What are you asking?"

"Do you love each other?" Tama asked impatiently.

"Yes." Yeah."

Alila and Dimas answered at the same time and Tama's heart was broken and full of wounds. He felt he had lost before he stepped up. There was no longer any hope for the feelings that had lingered in his heart for Alila.

Although trying to hide, but Dimas can still see the disappointed murat that looks faint on Tama's face.

"So you two are dating?" Nayla repeated the question again.

"No. But..."

"But what, Al?" Sandy's curious.

"But Dimas gave me this."

Alila raised her left hand slowly and showed a circular ring on her ring finger. Dimas smiled faintly seeing the courage of his lover acknowledging their relationship.

Again Dimas saw the gaze of Tama's eyes dimmed as soon as he saw the ring that Alila was wearing.

Nayla's pair of eyes were instantly rounded with her mouth wide open when she saw the ring on Alila's ring finger.

"Aaakh.., I didn't think Dimas could be this sweet, Al.."

"Hey, I gave you a ring too. Why don't you praise me?" Sandy held the hand of Nayla who was also wearing her gift ring first.

"The moment is stale. But my love for you is never stale, my dear.." Nayla laughs at Sandy.

For a while the atmosphere melted due to the laughter made by the couple Sandy and Nayla. But then, the conversation continued.

"Dim, you're not messing around with Alila are you? Just be careful if you're not serious about it."

In the end, the doubt on Dimas was spoken from Sandy's lips. Not because he does not believe in his best friend, but rather the nature of Dimas in the past who often bergonta-turned-partner.

Sandy certainly did not want to if one day Alila would be released by Dimas like the previous women.

"If I wasn't serious, I wouldn't have gone this far, San. Nor could I have sacrificed our friendship just for something I didn't believe in."

"I'm going to marry Alila."
