Waiting for Love for Me

07 IS DIFFERENT

At half-seven p.m., Dimas had picked up Alila and immediately planted gas into the restaurant location that had been determined by Tama.

"Dim..."

"Hmm..?"

Dimas didn't look at all.

"Last noon, did you really follow me and Tama?"

Dimas did not answer.

Alila regretted asking such a stupid question. Where maybe the cold and cuckoo Dimas was following himself who was clearly just going with Tama, their own best friend. He's too hopeful.

"I miss people who don't want to be missed. So I went looking for him."

Hearing Dimas' reply, Alila spontaneously turned to Dimas who did not show any attitude. Just shut up and look at the street in front of him.

Suddenly his tongue was faint, unable to speak. His eyes still continued to stare at Dimas in disbelief. His heart seemed to have turned into a flower garden.

(really? You miss me, Dim?)

"Sorry, Al. I shouldn't have done it."

This morning, after replying to Alila, Dimas felt something was stirring in his heart. Finally he decided to immediately go to Alila's house, but he just watched her from a distance. He sees Tama's car coming and soon he starts following Tama's car which has come out of Alila's house again.

They were both silent in each other's minds.

"Thank you for your concern, Dim."

"Do you like it?"

Alila did not reply, only nodding her head and immediately turning her face towards the window. His heart is beating very fast.

Dimas smiled watching Alila's behavior.

(I'm glad you like my attention, Al.)

They arrived at their destination. A pretty good seafood restaurant. Upon arriving at the table Tama had ordered, Sandy and Nayla had not arrived. Only Tama greeted them.

"Tumben you guys came first." Sapa Tama's.

"Food I ordered. You guys just order drinks according to taste."

Alila looked at Dimas who was already sitting opposite Tama. The one who was stared at seemed to know what Alila meant.

"Es lemon tea, Al."

Alila walked towards the booking table and soon returned to their table.

Dimas and Tama were talking together.

"Tomorrow you've really started working, Tam?"

"Yes. Papa kept pushing me. Besides now my time is also a lot loose, so can start learning business and jump directly in Papa's office."

"You yourself? What was yesterday's proposal, Dim?"

"Forese announcement."

Not long after, Sandy and Nayla came.

After ordering the drinks, they also merged into one with the five complete formations.

"San, so when are you getting married?" Ask Dimas.

Sandy and Nayla looked at each other. Sandy shook her head.

"Change of plans as it seems. Maybe next year."

"We want to focus on working for a year. Both adapt first to their respective work."

"It's important to take care of each other's feelings and take care of each other." Connect Nayla.

"We wish you both the best. Best for all of us."

Alila throws a smile at everything.

The whole order is ready at the table. Tama invites everyone to enjoy the dishes that are already available.

Dimas remained silent and continued to stare at Alila's face as Alila began to pick up rice for her. He received whatever Alila chose and poured it on his plate.

After finishing preparing Dimas food, Alila took food for herself and soon followed the others who had started to eat the food.

At times Dimas stared and watched Alila who was sitting next to him. I don't know why he's been so happy lately.

(Just looking at you my heart is already shaking, Al.)

"How's the food? You like?" Ask Tama.

"Back, Tam. Especially free." Sandy replied quickly.

"This is my papa's restaurant recommendation. It just so happens we've never been here, so I'm bringing you here."

Said Tama.

"Thank you, Tam. The dishes are all delicious."

Alila also praised the choice of Tama's restaurant, making Tama smile in satisfaction.

Dimas looked at Alila and Tama who were throwing smiles at each other. There was discomfort in his heart.

"From now on we may not be able to meet and gather the five like this. But if there's a similar time, we should get together again soon, okay..?!"

Sandy stared one by one at her best friend including Nayla beside her.

"Aahh, don't make moved dong..! So want to cry this.."

Nayla looks to have begun to glaze over, making Alila also carried away.

"Sandy is indeed, making the mood become sad like this.."

Alila also shed tears, even though her face still showed a smile.

Dimas who had just noticed Alila, immediately took out a piece of tissue on the table and gave it to Alila without saying anything.

Alila accepted it and looked at Dimas who kept staring at her, without caring about Tama who started to notice the two of them.

(If nothing else, I myself will wipe away your tears, Al.)

At nine o'clock in the evening, they left the restaurant. Tama let go of her four best friends, only then she passed home.

"Al, where are we going?"

"As far as you are."

"Come home?"

Alila shook her head.

"I don't want to go home yet."

(I still want to be with you, Dim.)

"As usual?"

Dimas drove his car aimlessly. His mind was empty too. He just wanted to spend time with Alila.

"I.."

"Yes?"

"Why are you still alone?"

Alila's face turned tense. Questions that he did not suspect.

"It's okay."

"Is your heart waiting for someone, Al?"

(Yes, Dim.)

Alila quiet. His hands were squeezing each other. He was nervous and did not know what to answer.

"Do you love her?"

(I love him so much.).

"I..."

"Dim, can we not talk about it?"

"If you don't love anyone,

you'll answer that, Al."

"If you're silent, it means there's someone in your heart.."

Alila is getting all wrong. His chest rumbled and felt extremely tight restraining the raging feeling at this moment.

He pulled his car over and stopped. He looked at Alila's face which kept looking down.

"I..."

"Al, I'm sorry that I was so presumptuous to ask you something personal. I.., I just..."

Dimas's mouth was choked. All her life, as long as she was in a relationship with anyone, she had never behaved like this. And he had never felt anything like this either.

But now, for some reason he was so curious about the feelings of the woman sitting beside him. He didn't want another man to miss that woman. He did not want another man to be loved by the woman.

Dimas hit the steering wheel so hard that it shocked Alila. He ruffled his hair and rubbed his face violently.

"Dim..."

Alila's voice shed some of her emotions. He turned his head to look at Alila who was looking at him with anxiety. Now all his emotions disappeared for a moment just by looking at Alila's face.

"Al, I'm sorry.."

"I'm sorry, too, Dim.."

"Al, i..."

"Dim, can we just act like we used to?"

"Can't, Al."

Dimas answered quickly. Alila stared at Dimas.

(Why can't you, Dim?)

"I can't, because there's something different in here, Al."

Dimas pointed towards his own chest.

"In my heart."

Alila could no longer speak. He still could not believe what he had just heard.

"I can't understand my own feelings either, Al. Because only once did my heart feel it. Only with you. Only when you're with me."

"My heart is happy when you are with me. But my heart hurts when you're with another man, Al."

Dimas looked gently at Alila's eyes as he expressed his feelings.

"But Dim, he's with you.."

Alila felt her heart ache when she said that.

"Nothing, Al. I don't have a lover."

Dimas replied in a firm tone.

Alila was silent, trying to digest one by one the words that came out of Dimas' mouth.

"You don't believe me, Al? Sorry if I've been hiding it from you all this time."

"It's been a long time, Al. I've been alone, long before we got the scheduled thesis hearing."

Alila no longer knew what to do. It all happened so suddenly and shocked her.

"Al, can you give me a chance? So that my heart may know your heart more intimately?"

Alila looked deeply into Dimas's eyes. Trying to find the truth there.

The two pairs of eyes were now staring at each other, with eyes loving each other, letting their hearts talk to each other about all the pent-up feelings.

"I..."

Dimas awaits Alila's reply.

Alila was carried away with her happy feelings. Tears began to fall on both cheeks. But he smiled looking at the man before him.

"Yes, Dim."

Alila nodded her head without hesitation.

Dimas smiled with relief. Although the word love has not been spoken between them, she believes time will help her to discover the truth of her feelings for Alila.

"Thank you, Al."

Dimas wiped Alila's tears with both hands.

No more voices. Only silence is created, accompanying the two hearts that begin to join together in a bond of beautiful taste and do not want to be separated again.
