Waiting for Love for Me

85 ENEMIES IN A BLANKET

Arriving in the lobby and gathering with his team, Dimas gets a new message on his phone. After releasing his hand from the handle of the suitcase, he immediately picked up his constantly vibrating phone from within the pocket of the pants.

His eyes looked at the screen seriously with both eyebrows put together. Read word for word in the message, without showing any changes. He remained standing in a calm manner, with a cold face full of mystery.

"Keep a good copy of the confidential data of our project. Back up all files related to this project without exception. We trust and rely on you..!!"

Before Mr. Albi called and gathered the entire departing team, Dimas replied to the message quickly and immediately joined the others.

"Good, Sir. Everything I have prepared and I bring it according to Father's orders."

The phone was put back in his pocket, then he focused on listening to the direction of Mr. Albi as the head of the work team as well as the main responsibility of the project they are currently handling.

The team members that Mr. Albi chose to take off from the city numbered five people and were all male employees. They are employees with the highest and most trusted work competencies that have taken into account their ability to be involved in handling this community service project.

After receiving a briefing from Mr. Albi, aided by a driver they began packing luggage to put in the company's car they would use during their duty.

Before getting into the car, Dimas' phone rang again. A message came in from Alila. Dimas walked away from the car and smiled faintly as he opened a message from his wife.

"I'm at the office, Dim."

"Yes, honey. I'm getting ready to go. Pray for me." Dimas replies to Alila's message and waits again.

"I always pray for you, Dim. Let me know when you get there. I'm working first." Write Alila.

"All right, my beautiful wife. Iloveyou..." Dimas wrote the last message before Alila replied to him again.

"I love you too, baby..."

His smile read the message he had just read.

(Now I miss you, Al.)

While Dimas was on his way to the first city his team would visit, Alila was already struggling with her work screen indoors. It looks the same activity also done by Olla and Nadia there.

"Al, Nad, lunch outside, yuk. Your husband doesn't exist, so we can have lunch together again." Take Olla to her best friends.

"That's a lot, yuk! It just so happened that Tama was also busy in her office." Nadia immediately agreed with passion.

"Dika don't mind if you don't have lunch with her, La?" Ask Alila.

To her knowledge, since they were engaged every day Olla always spent her break time with Dika, whether it was going out or just in the office cafeteria.

"That can be arranged, Al. I'll ask her permission. Dika never refused my request." Olla said proudly, making Alila and Nadia smile.

"Surely he always obeyed you, La. Instead of you sulking and do not want to meet him, Dika also who bothered will be hit by a heavy longing." Seloroh Nadia's.

"The name is Dika, not Dilan. So the misses won't be heavy. Let Alila alone bear the heavy longing for her husband left out of the city. Haha..." Olla's joke made the three of them laugh softly, for fear of being reprimanded by the other employees.

"Take your car, Al. Again, aji mumpung. You brought your own car..." Continue to Olla again.

"Yes." Yeah." Alila answered briefly while pulling out her phone to tell Dimas if she would have lunch outside the office with her two best friends.

In a different city, Dimas and his team had just arrived at their destination after two more hours of travel. While there, they would stay in an inn that had been prepared by the company. The entire team took a break before they went to the project office to begin their task.

He washed his face and dried it with a towel he had taken out of the suitcase. After that he took his phone from the table and opened it while sleeping on the bed in his room.

His originally flat face began to smile when he saw a new message from Alila. With a single touch of a finger on the screen, the message opens and is read.

Alila said she would go out with her two best friends for lunch with her car. Dimas immediately replied to the message and inserted an expression of love and longing for his beloved wife.

Dimas seriously examined all project reports and researched one by one the attachments included. Several times his head shook his head slowly while rediscovering the mistakes in his execution on the field.

Dimas reported his findings to Mr. Albi by email. The next few minutes they kept answering emails and having a brief discussion. They choose to discuss through online networks so as not to arouse suspicion of other team members.

"Simmediately solve the problem and do not tell others how you can fix all the existing systems."

"Good, Sir. I will finish it soon so that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, the whole system is functioning normally again and can continue the implementation of the project."

"Remember, we must act in subtle ways to compensate these rioters. They are enemies in a blanket, and one of them is with us. Careful, Dim. I believe in your abilities."

"Thank you, sir. I'll start working from now on."

Dimas closed his email and refocused on his main task. Before starting, he circulated his views on one by one the members of the team who together with him sat around a large table to complete their respective tasks.

Dimas still felt astonished and did not run out of thought if one of them was involved in the problems that occurred at this time.

But he had no right to blame let alone humiliate him blatantly. He handed over all the decisions to Mr. Albi. The rest, he just had to carry out his duty well and as soon as possible.

All work went well until it was time to rest. All the team members closed their work screens and put them away and went to lunch with all the local office employees.

While waiting for the dishes, Dimas pamit out and walk towards the corner terrace of the restaurant which is calmer atmosphere. The phone he was holding rang indicating a new message coming in.

Alila sends a message that she is already in a cafe with Olla and Nadia. Without waiting any longer, Dimas opened a video call with his wife. A few seconds later the call was connected and showed a beautiful face of Alila that filled the man's phone screen.

"Have you eaten, Al?" Ask Dimas.

"Yet. Still waiting for orders to come. You?"

"Same too. Where are they?" Dimas did not see the whereabouts of his wife's two best friends around Alila.

"They're inside and I'm out to take your call."

So minutes they go through with small talk like being met in person. Then they ended their warm conversation to continue their lunch in different places and cities.

"I'll call you later tonight. Take care of yourself, Al."

"Yes, Dim. You should always be healthy and well there. I miss you here."

"I miss you too. I love you, baby..."

"I love you too, baby..."
