Waiting for Love for Me

32 LOVE FROM THE BEGINNING

Two weeks passed. Alila's parents invited Dimas to dinner together at home. Their goal is to ensure Dimas's sincerity in establishing a relationship with Alila.

At seven in the night, Dimas reached the terrace of Alila's house and was greeted with a smile by his lover.

"Let's go in, Dim. Papa and mama are waiting in the dining room."

Alila was about to head back inside, but her hand was held back by Dimas.

"What's wrong?"

Alila looked at Dimas who was still standing firmly in his place. The man approached her with a face that looked tense.

"I want to hold you for a second, Al."

Alila's heart began to tremble at Dimas's request. She knew that Dimas was nervous about meeting his parents officially.

To be honest he was also nervous because all this time papa and his mother never asked anything about the closeness or relationship between them. And all of a sudden they asked Dimas to come home.

Alila nodded her head and Dimas immediately pulled her into his arms. He hugged Alila so tightly that Alila returned the hug and tightened her body in Dimas' arms. For a moment they were swept away in that warm embrace.

"I love you, Al."

Dimas' heart was pounding erratically, feeling extremely tight in his chest, feeling fear for something he himself did not know.

"I love you too, Dim."

Alila let go of her embrace. He held both hands of Dimas. Her eyes looked at her lover's eyes warmly and gently.

"There's me next to you, Dim. We're all facing it together."

Dimas kissed Alila's hands in turn. Alila smiled at him.

"Thank you, Al."

"We're in now?"

Dimas nodded his head. Furthermore, with one hand still fused, Alila invited Dimas in and headed straight to the dining table.

At the dining table, papa, mama and Alano were already sitting there. Dimas immediately approached Alila's parents to give his greetings.

"Good night, Om, Auntie."

Dimas kissed their hands in turn. Waiting for a reply from them before sitting down.

"Yes, good night, Dimas. Please sit down."

Papa answered and invited Dimas to sit down. Dimas headed for the empty seat next to Alila and immediately sat down with a still unsettled feeling.

"We'll have dinner first. We'll talk in front."

Mama Alila stood up to serve her papa. Alila stood by and served Dimas. While Alano waited for everything to be finished only then he took his own food.

Tonight, Alano doesn't say much because she knows her parents are going to talk about something important with Alila and Dimas. He feels like he is a good listener.

Fifteen minutes later everyone had finished their dinner. Papa invites them to move into the living room.

Mama sat with papa Alila. Dimas and Alila sat next to Alila's parents. Alano as the support chose to sit alone in the last seat to listen.

"All right, Alila and Dimas. Papa won't talk much here. We know how close you have been all along. So papa just wants to know and hear directly from the two of you."

Dimas and Alila nodded at the same time.

"Dimas, papa look all this time you and Alila are very close. Can you tell us, what is your real relationship?"

Papa, Mama and Alano are ready to listen. Dimas and Alila stared at each other for a moment. Then Dimas again facing forward.

"From the beginning of my college and Alila have been friends and close to each other, Om, Auntie. And now this relationship wants us to take it even more seriously in the future. I love Alila."

The sentence just slid from Dimas' mouth, but it had managed to escape all the fear that had previously occupied his heart. Now he feels calmer after expressing the truth of his feelings in front of Alila's parents.

Alila who heard Dimas' honesty was very happy. His heart that had originally felt fear had now changed the relief and calm as Dimas.

Papa Alila smiled and heaved a sigh of relief at Dimas' confession. Likewise his mother, he smiled looking at Alila and Dimas alternately.

"I really love Alila, Om, Auntie. I will try my best to always make Alila happy. I want to marry Alila."

The hearts of Dimas and Alila were both violently rustling with a beautiful feeling that was bursting. Both feel the same love and now feel the same confidence to continue their steps forward with a closer and stronger bond.

Papa Alila's eyes turned to her lovely daughter. A moment he dissolved in his feelings, seeing his little girl who used to always be cheered on, loved and pampered now has grown up and has feelings for another man.

"Alila, tell us how you feel about Dimas?"

"Alila loves Dimas. Alila was happy with her, Pa, Ma."

Papa's speechless. Trying to calm his now moved and happy heart. Seeing the earnestness expressed by Alila's answer and implied in the look in his eyes, papa believed that his beloved daughter really loved the man next to her.

"Dimas, did your parents know about your relationship?"

"Yes, Om, Aunt. I have introduced Alila to my parents and family. They accept Alila and bless our relationship."

Mom and Dad looked at each other. They feel the same way and have decided something similar before.

"Mom and Dad believe in you. We're nurturing your relationship."

Everyone finally found the answer. Happiness was not only seen from the faces of the parents of Alila, but also emanated clearly from the faces of Dimas and Alila. Likewise Alano who from the beginning was only silent, he also smiled happily to see everything.

After the conversation was over, papa and mama went back inside to rest. While Alano immediately came out to spend the night with his friends.

There was only Alila and Dimas in the living room. They sit next to each other and hold hands. Their eyes clashed and gave off the same happy smile on their lips.

"Thank you, Dim"

"For what?"

"For your sincerity and honesty, the feelings you have expressed before my parents were also our friends yesterday."

"You happy, Al?"

"I'm so happy, Dim. My long wait has ended this beautiful. Sometimes I still feel disbelief and think all this is just my delusion."

Dimas was surprised by the answer. Something sounded strange from Alila's words earlier. She felt that something was still hidden by her lover.

"Attent, Al. Did you say about the long wait? Whatdoes thatmean? Is there anything I don't know about you, Al?"

Dimas' eyes stared intently at Alila. He needs an explanation from her. While Alila just smiled back at her lover's eyes. He felt it was time Dimas knew all the truth about his feelings.

"There's really nothing I'm hiding, Dim. I just never said it, because no one ever asked."

Dimas was increasingly confused by Alila's answer that was just spinning around indistinctly, making him even more curious.

"Tell me, Al. What's the matter exactly?"

"I love you, Dim."

"Yes, I know that. Then?"

"I loved you from the beginning of our meeting."
