Waiting for Love for Me

50 WOMEN OF THE FUTURE

If they usually meet at night, this time Dimas and Alila arrange a meeting time before lunch. They chose the lesehan restaurant as a meeting place for five friends.

Dimas and Alila had arrived first and waited while sitting leaning on the room divider made of bamboo. They sit facing the entrance not too far from the room they choose, so it is easy to know the arrival of his friends.

"Al, can't you if you don't attend your office?"

Dimas hugged Alila's back waist while occasionally kissing the shoulder of his future wife.

"Dim, this is an office event, where can I not follow him. Moreover, this is a mandatory event for new employees this year."

Since informing Dimas of his office agenda, the man has continued to persuade Alila not to follow him, even if it is impossible. Next week Alila's office will hold an annual agenda, Outbound Training which must be followed by all new employees of the company.

The event will be held in a tourist valley located in the next town for a day overnight. They left Saturday morning and were back on Sunday morning.

"Aku akan sangat merindukanmu, Al."

"Only a day a night, Dim. We arrived at the office again in the morning."

Dimas let out a heavy sigh while looking at Alila's face deeply.

"The activity there will definitely make you forget about me.." Dimas began to get discouraged again if he thought about it again.

"How could I forget my future husband? I'll miss you too, Dim."

Alila returned Dimas' embrace and wrapped her hands around the man's waist. His face slightly raised to stare at the sad eyes of Dimas who continued to look at him lovingly.

A beautiful vibration was present back in the heart as the two pairs of eyes clashed against each other. The subtle sigh was increasingly felt, making their bodies warm up and close the embrace even though only a hug from the side of each body.

Dimas wants to kiss Alila on the forehead, but is undone when Alila signals the arrival of Sandy and Nayla.

"Hai.hai.., we're coming..!" Sandy cried with one hand while the other held her waist.

"Jiang, Al, Dim.." Sapa Nayla accompanied by her cheerful bright face.

"Jiang, Nay, San..! Thank God Sandy can go home so can complete five more." Alila replied with a fluffy smile adorning her beautiful face.

Sandy and Nayla take off their footwear and sit across the table, opposite Dimas and Alila.

"Dim, the bride-to-be is still cold. Changed dong, pity Alila if your face like that continues.." Sandy's temptation to see Dimas was still faithful with his cold face and his feet.

Alila held back her smile hearing Sandy's joke for Dimas. While the marked remains unmoved in the slightest.

"If I change, I don't have to tell you. He's enough to know." Dimas replied without taking his eyes off Alila.

"Ahhaa.., it seems like there are secretly friendly without us knowing. Is that right, Al?"

Sandy turned her gaze towards Alila who only replied with a smile on her lips.

From their place, it looks like Tama has already walked in with her masculine charm.

"Sorry I'm late.." He spoke the first time he came before his friends.

"Better late than the four of us, Tam. Five is the best..!" Reply Sandy.

Finally they could gather the five again. The drink came right after Tama joined together.

"Al, when are you getting married?"

Nayla started asking questions representing her other curiosity.

"Two months, Nay. In the middle of the month." Answer Alila.

"Mid-month? Isn't that your birthday, Al?" Sahut Tama curious.

Tama couldn't possibly not know the birthday of her loved one. Although he had already released his feelings for Alila, but all the memories of him would not just disappear.

Both of Dimas' eyes reacted quickly staring at Tama. Unconsciously his chest began to rumble unsettled. But thankfully, she no longer found anything different in Tama's eyes on Alila. Now he only saw ordinary eyes, without implying any other meaning.

"Yes. I I'll marry Alila on her birthday." Answer Dimas.

Then alternating with Alila, she explained the whole plan of their marriage. Tama, Sandy and Nayla listened to everything carefully until Dimas and Alila finished their last sentence.

"Can we help you, Dim, Al..??"

Tama offers her help, as do Sandy and Nayla. They are very enthusiastic to participate in the wedding of his two best friends.

"So far all preparations have been handled directly by the wedding organizer." Dimas replied that he did not want to trouble his three best friends.

"Maybe later if the invitation is ready, if you don't mind, you can help us to send invitations to our campus friends."

Alila did not want to disappoint her friends who were willing to offer themselves to help.

The lunch dishes were already laid out in full on the short table that was in the middle of the five of them.

Before their lunch starts, Alila asks for a little permission to return to Dimas' car. But Dimas who knew what Alila meant immediately stopped him.

Then Dimas went out to his car and soon returned with three medium-sized paperbags.

Alila takes it and hands it to Tama, Sandy and Nayla.

"It's batik and kebaya fabric for our wedding. Sorry to bother you guys for having to sew it yourself." Alila was followed by an apology.

Their three friends accepted it with pleasure. Even Tama also joked because his uniform does not have a partner.

"Sandy and Nayla will perform in this uniform. So what is the fate of me who has no partner?" Tama pretended to crackle sadly and shook her head.

"The handsome is single.., durable anyway..!! Haaaa.." Guru Sandy made the others laugh.

"Don't be mocked, stick to pairs of you. Who knows when I'll get back from here, I'll meet the woman of my future." Answer Tama still does not want to lose.

"Aamiin..!!"

The others answered in unison and then they laughed boisterously together. After being satisfied with the banter, the five of them began to enjoy lunch together.

Not to be left behind in between their meal times, tucked into their nosy behavior and habits to interfere with each other and taste the dishes of their choice with each other. The familiarity between them never changed even though now they can no longer meet every day like they used to be in college.

Returning from the meeting with his four best friends, Tama drove his car at the speed of heading towards his home.

Suddenly she remembered to buy snacks ordered by her sister Tami who really liked snacks. Soon he steered his car to the nearest supermarket he was passing by.

Five minutes later he had parked his car in the yard of a large supermarket. Finished locking the car, Tama got into the supermarket and headed for a special shelf where snacks were placed. He took his sister's favorite snacks.

After filling his shopping basket, he stood waiting in one of the lines of the cashier that did not queue much. There was only one person in front of him who was finishing the calculations in front of the cashier.

But when going to make a payment, the woman in front of him was confused looking for his wallet and debit card that was not in his small bag.

"Oh.., I must have forgotten to move my wallet out of my briefcase. Though I have to immediately deliver all these groceries to the orphanage. I'm a total forgetful..!"

The woman continued to speak for herself and clapped her forehead many times. He stared sadly at one trolley full of his finished groceries counted and neatly packed inside the trolley.

"Sorry, I live here first. I'll go home first to pick up my leftover wallet."

The woman repeatedly apologized with the unfriendly look of the cashier before her.

Tama who had listened to the woman speak for herself and mentioned the word home, did not feel the heart let alone see the cashier who was getting impatient and put on the face of his jutek.

Tama quickly pulled out her credit card and approached the surly-faced cashier.

"Sir, finish the payment with my card."

Tama handed the credit card in her hand to the cashier whose face turned friendly instantly upon receiving the card offered by Tama.

"Eh but.., ouch.., don't mas. Let me go home first to get my wallet left behind."

The woman in front of Tama was increasingly confused and misbehaved after Tama paid for all her groceries worth more than five hundred thousand rupiah.

Tama put her shopping cart on the cashier table to pay for all. The woman he had just helped kept staring at him in a misguided manner.

"It's okay." He answered calmly with a friendly smile.

"Sorry, please push the trolley, I'm going out too." Pinta Tama subtly.

The woman pushed her trolley slowly towards the exit, followed by Tama walking beside her.

Their views met and clashed in a short time. Both Tama and the woman felt a small tremor in their hearts as their eyes stared at each other unintentionally.
