Another Dika, another Tama. Although both love Alila but they choose a different attitude.
If Dika confidently expressed his feelings for Alila and then continued to pursue her despite being rejected many times, Tama was the opposite.
She chooses to keep her feelings close to Alila. He did not want to accept the rejection that would lead to a change in attitude between the two of them. Therefore, Tama chooses to hide her love for Alila, so that she can stay close and together with Alila even though only as a friend.
Towards lunch time, Tama exited the company's boardroom meeting room on the top floor of the Pandawa Group building. He had just finished meeting with several directors related to his company's cooperation with the large national scale company.
Tama got off using the special elevator of the directors, because only that special elevator can operate until the top floor is used as the office of the directors.
After reaching the lower floor, Tama immediately went out through the lobby to go to the parking area. Walking straight ahead, he was unaware of the existence of someone sitting waiting on the sofa lobby.
"Your name...!"
Tama immediately stopped her steps and turned her gaze around until she saw one person she knew was waving to her. He smiled and immediately approached her.
"Hi, Dim..! Alila hasn't come down yet?" His hand was stretched out to shake hands with Dimas and Dimas quickly greeted him.
Without having to ask, Tama knew that Dimas had come to pick up his girlfriend for lunch together.
Dimas shook his head in response. He gave the code with his hand to let Tama sit next to him.
"I'm straight away, Dim. You're gonna be out for lunch, aren't you?"
"We'll have lunch together, Tam." Take Dimas to Tama who is still standing in front of him.
"Will it bother you?" Tanya Tama even though she actually wanted to reject Dimas's invitation.
"Why indeed? Just lunch. You think this is a date?"
Tama laughed at Dimas' cold reply. Then he sat down next to the man.
"Alright.., okay. I'm joining you guys, with a note don't make me a mosquito repellent there later."
Tama continued her laughter while patting her best friend's shoulder. In her heart she is happy to be able to stay close and there is no need to be awkward with Dimas and Alila, even though she has to sacrifice her deep love for Alila.
By choosing to keep her own nelangs love story, she can still continue her friendship with them. More than that, she could still see Alila's happy smile and laughter even with the other man she loved.
Shortly after Tama sat down, they saw the arrival of Alila and her friends who had just stepped out of the elevator with a light laugh between them.
When he arrived earlier, Dimas had informed his arrival to Alila through a short message, so that when he arrived at the lobby the woman immediately said goodbye to her friends and stepped her feet towards the sofa in the middle of the lobby.
As his steps drew closer, he only realized Tama's whereabouts beside Dimas. Without having to think for a long time, Alila already understood that this afternoon they were going to go to lunch three.
"Corn, Dim, Tam. Sorry to wait a little long. There was a new employee briefing first."
Dimas just nodded his head then stood up followed by Tama.
"We're leaving now. Tam, just come with my car. We'll be back here."
"Yes, it's up to you, Dim."
Then the three of them went out of the lobby to Dimas' car park. Dimas accompanied by Tama sat in the front, and Alila sat in the back seat alone.
"I'm sorry, Al. Your place I borrowed first. Change partners first."
Tama smiled seductively at them, making Dimas and Alila return her smile.
Unlike Dimas who is stingy to talk, Tama is easier to melt the atmosphere while being with his friends. Chat after chat just flowed comfortably, until they arrived at a field restaurant that often they came to the five.
While waiting for the order to be delivered, they sat in one of the places in the middle and continued their chat.
"When will your wedding be held?" Tama asked as she glanced at Dimas and Alila alternately.
Last night Dimas had already contacted Tama and the others, asking them to meet the five at the weekend tomorrow. Dimas only said about their wedding plans without further explanation.
"Two months away." Answer Dimas.
"Well, why are all my best friends getting married so quickly? Yesterday Sandy and Nayla suddenly decided on their wedding within a month. Now you also follow them, planning a wedding in two months. Really I feel left alone at the starting line, while you've all reached the finish line.."
Tama spoke at length freely and without burden. His words just came out of his mouth without any disappointment, anger or sadness.
Dimas and Alila actually felt a little confused until the two looked at each other as if throwing the same question over Tama's calm attitude that was beyond their expectations.
Tama who started to realize her attitude being questioned by them, replied with a smile and attitude that remained calm.
"Hey.., don't worry about me. I really am healthy and well. I'm glad to hear this happy news, just like when I heard the same news from Sandy and Nayla first."
Tama spoke sincerely from her heart. Nothing is made up, nothing is covered up. Right now, his heart had completely recovered from his heartbreak.
(While it was very difficult at first, I finally managed to let go of my feelings for you, Al.)
"Just pray that I can soon meet my true soul mate, so that I can catch up with all of you soon." Pinta Tama with a real face.
"We must be praying for you, Tam. A good man like you will surely meet the best of friends."
(Once again forgive us for hurting your feelings, Tam.)
Alila was moved by the attitude shown by Tama. The attitude of a real man, who does not dissolve in his sadness and immediately rises from his slump.
And as asked by Tama earlier, Alila was sure that a real man like Tama would definitely get a true soul mate that is as good, like a reflection of yourself.
Soon enough, finally the awaited order was in front of them. The three of them immediately ate their lunch voraciously.
Every now and then they would taste each other's side dishes without feeling awkward, like the habits of the five of them while eating together like this. Close, familiar and full of a sense of togetherness.
After all, friends are still friends. No matter how much trouble comes, it will not be an excuse to create a stretched distance. No matter how much wrong you make, you will not make it an excuse to leave and leave. As difficult as any testing situation may be, it will not make it an excuse to give up and forget the promise.
That was the friendship of the five of them all along. Likes and sorrows, hard and happy, cries and laughter, sad and happy, they had experienced together. But all of that never made them move away from each other, but made them mutually reinforcing and inseparable.
