Waiting for Love for Me

31 CLAPPING ONE HAND

"I'm going to marry Alila."

And that one sentence from Dimas' mouth had left all who heard it shocked in disbelief. No exception to Alila.

Alila's clear eyes stared at Dimas fixedly, trying to trace the eyeball deeper, looking for solemnity from the words Dimas had just heard.

"I say it because you are the people closest to us. Our relationship has been like family."

"I hope you understand my feelings as well as Alila's, and can accept our current relationship."

The mood was silent again. All dissolved in each other's minds.

For Sandy and Nayla, the situation Dimas and Alila have been in now. So there were no exaggerated responses and no rejection from the two of them.

Unlike Tama, her heart was raging. Disappointment, anger, hurt and sadness mixed into one.

One side of his heart was deeply hurt by the reality, because he also loved Alila. But the other half of his heart realized, there was nothing wrong with Dimas and Alila's relationship, because they loved each other.

It is not their fault if love comes between friendship relationships that have been established before. Dimas loves Alila, just as he loves Alila. While Alila, herself only had one love and that love she had given to Dimas, not Tama.

In the end, reality remains reality. As bitter as it is, Tama must be ready to accept it. There are only two possibilities in love. Love that is welcome or love that claps one hand.

"When are you getting married?"

Tama tried to improve the mood by opening the conversation. With her heart still feeling sliced, she tried to behave as habitually as possible in response to Dimas and Alila's relationship.

Dimas turned his face towards Tama. He saw the man sitting leaning back by folding his hands in front of his chest. His face seemed calm and could regulate his emotions.

"I'm waiting for Alila. Whenever he's ready, we'll get married."

"Yourself, are you really ready?" Ask Tama again.

"I'm ready!"

After answering steadily, Dimas turned his gaze and looked at his lover's face. Alila who had been silent began to reappear her smile and returned Dimas's eyes softly and blissfully.

"I congratulate you both. Although initially disbelieving and unexpected at all, but I'm so happy for you both."

Sandy reached out her hand at Dimas who immediately greeted her, followed by Tama who also shook her hand tightly with a smiling face despite being forced to look.

"Thank you."

Nayla shifted her seat closer to Alila's side, then she hugged her best friend's body with a happy look. Alila returned Nayla's embrace tightly and equally happy.

"Congratulations, Al. We'll see, it's me or you who'll get married first."

"Thank you, Nay."

At nine o'clock, Tama, Sandy and Nayla leave. Stay the two Dimas with Alila who was still sitting next to each other closer.

"Dim, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"What?"

Alila silently nailed her gaze to the eyes of Dimas who was still replying to some messages on his phone.

Dimas immediately closed the phone and saved it back. His gaze was fixed on the beautiful eyes of Alila who was looking at him gently.

"I'm sorry if I was wrong to have said about our marriage."

"It's not like that I mean. I was just surprised when you said it, without telling me before."

"Then I'll say it now."

Dimas grabbed Alila's left hand wearing his gift ring, then held it with a shahdu look.

"Alila, will you marry me?"

Dimas kissed Alila's hand lovingly.

"Will you be my wife and be the mother of our children?"

Alila's eyes were glazed. His right hand raised shut his mouth holding haru. His chest felt tight and continued to shake violently until his breath seemed to stop for a moment.

"I know this may be too soon for our love affair to have just been established. But we've known each other long enough and are close as friends. I don't need any other proof to convince my feelings, because I've been comfortable all this time, even very comfortable with you, Al."

Dimas' hand stretched out to touch Alila's face. Her fingers began to wipe away the tears that had flowed down her lover's cheeks.

Alila smiled and looked at Dimas' eyes warmly and lovingly.

"Yes. I want to, Dim. I want to marry you."

Dimas smiled and clasped Alila's hand. There was no doubt in the hearts of the two. There is only love and happiness that unite two people who want to have each other and always be together forever.

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes watched the two of them from a distance. His gaze was sad, his heart that had been broken more and more slashed to witness the intimacy of the woman he loved with others.

After exiting with Sandy and Nayla earlier, Tama did not go directly to his car. He went back inside the resto to go to the toilet through the side door. But when going back to the car, he accidentally saw Dimas and Alila who were still sitting together in the restaurant.

After a moment of standing staring at the togetherness of Dimas and Alila who so hurt his heart, Tama chose to leave the place immediately. He realized he had lost and his love clapped one hand.

While at the restaurant, Dimas and Alila were preparing to go home. They stood up and walked out hand in hand with friendly gazes towards the car.

In the car, Dimas took the blanket from the back seat and unfolded it and immediately unfurled it to warm Alila's body.

"Sleep when you're sleepy, Al."

Dimas started the engine and started driving his car in the middle of the road. Every now and then she turned her head and noticed Alila who was still engrossed in her phone.

Not long ago the car drove, Alila started to fall asleep. Dimas who saw her smiled and stretched out his left hand to gently rub his lover's head.

"I love you, my Sleeping Princess."

Dimas said softly while looking for a place to pull over his car for a moment. After the car managed to pull over, Dimas changed the position of the chair by lowering the backrest so that Alila's body was more comfortable sleeping in a half-lying position.

Dimas drove his car back at a slow speed. She still wanted to enjoy some time together with Alila even though her lover had fallen asleep next to her.

After almost an hour of circling first, Dimas' car finally got into Alila's yard. Dimas turned off his car engine and turned his eyes to Alila's face.

Slowly and without a sound Dimas bent his body closer to Alila who was still asleep.

"I.."

Dimas tries to wake Alila, as he sees Alano's car not parked in front of the garage. That means Alano hasn't come home yet and he can't carry Alila inside without Alano's help.

Alila had not yet woken up even though Dimas called her many times. Dimas grabbed Alila's hand and kissed her gently. One other hand gently rubbed Alila's head with the position of their faces close to each other.

Alila started to open her eyes and the first time she saw was Dimas' face right in front of her. Alila's heart was pounding violently accompanied by a severe sigh felt in her chest cavity.

"Dim.."

"We've arrived."

Dimas pulled his face away making Alila also pull his body to sit back down. In the darkness, their views met. They kept each other's voice, only their heartbeats and the roar of their breath seemed to break the silence.

Without warning, Alila's hand moved to touch Dimas' body and quickly hugged his lover's body tightly. Dimas who was carried away by the atmosphere also returned Alila's embrace and increasingly united their bodies.

A moment of warmth flowed through the body of both of them. Alila buried her face on Dimas' shoulder while her hands continued to circle around the man's waist. He felt very calm in Dimas' arms.

Dimas gently rubbed Alila's back and kissed her head with a quivering heart. It felt like continuing to linger hugging the body of his lover.

"I love you, Al."

"I love you too, Dim. Love you so much."

Dimas' heart trembled even more at the expression of Alila's love in the middle of his embrace. He tightened his embrace, really not wanting to let go.
