Perfect Marriage - Chapter 18



"Huh? How do you know?" ask Dinda gawking.


"So ... actually that time ...." Gerry took a deep breath, and prepared to recount the events of that time.

The flash back


So, that afternoon ...  Gerry was waiting for his mother who was taking the groceries left behind. Gerry was waiting for him in his car, which was parked in the basement of the mall.


He accidentally sees Damas with a woman he knows is the woman who helped Dinda when she was last day.


Gerry saw them get into Damas' car, which was parked right across from his car, with the parking position facing each other.


Gerry deliberately drowned his body from behind the steering wheel, so Damas did not see it. Long enough Gerry saw them like they were fighting an argument.  However, the unexpected, haru Gerry saw.  That is, when Damas forcibly kissed the woman.


Gerry was so dumbfounded. "Is that woman Damas' future wife?" he murmured, while continuing to pay attention to them. However, shortly afterwards Gerry saw, the woman got out of Damas' car, with tears rolling down her face. Gerry couldn't bear to see it. But he was well aware. That it's none of his business.


Then Gerry chose not to care about it. But there was one thing that stuck in his mind, which was about Dinda.


"Do I have to tell Dinda, if it turns out that the woman who helped him at that time, he was Damas' future wife," he thought "ah, but. I don't want to interfere too much in their business, let Dinda know about it."


Flash back off.

"What's? So ... You've known that since then?" dinda asked in disbelief. Gerry nodded his head slowly.


Suddenly, the water of tears fell back down both cheeks Dinda. Gerry looked, he felt bad.


"Dinda, why are you crying?" gerry asked, leaning his body close to Dinda.


Dinda just shook her head slowly, sobbing in tears. "Why? Why does everyone always have to hide something from me? Why always, I wasn't told anything."


"My family, hiding my status since childhood, even now I'm pregnant they cover it up. Damas .. He hides the whereabouts of his family, even when I want to hold him accountable, he tells me to hide this matter, moreover he also hides who the figure of the woman who will be his wife. And now you, my own friend, can you hide this fact from me! ... Why is! Why should everyone hide from me, why should everyone tell me to hide anyway!" he was full of emotion with breath that was wheezing because it was accompanied by sobs.


Gerry felt more guilty. He understands very well the heart of Dinda who is currently not okay.


"Dinda, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hide all this from you. I just want you to know all the truth by yourself, not because of me" Gerry said so gently. He sat down right next to Dinda. Trying to calm the woman.


"Gerry, is everyone ashamed to accept my presence in this world?  Why do the people I love the most, they seem not to want my presence. Am I just a burden to them, Gerry?" asked Dinda who was still crying so much.


Gerry was silent, unable to say a word, because somehow his heart felt a tremendous pain when he heard the words of the woman who was now beside him. His throat felt choked, even just to swallow his saliva he found it difficult.


"Gerry, why are you quiet? Answer Gerry," said Dinda increasingly unable to control her sad emotions.


"Dinda, relax ...."


"Gerry, I also want to be like the women out there who are free to show off status, free to do this, free to show my happiness. But, why is everyone always telling me to hide, why is everyone always forbidding me this and that. I also want to be loved with a heart so loose, without the slightest burden." Dinda couldn't control her crying.


Gerry slowly pulled Dinda's body and held her in his arms. The woman now only cried as she pleased while drowning her face in the chest of Gerry's field.


"Dinda, if you could open your heart's eyes, you could get a love that would release you from the burden you've been carrying yourself. Look at my heart Dinda," murmured Gerry inwardly, tightening his arms.

After about 30 minutes they hugged each other, accompanied by the cry of Dinda who began to shrink and slow. Now the two of them let go of each other's embrace.


Gerry could see so clearly, Dinda's two slightly swollen eyes, with a blushing runny nose.


Dinda took some tissue on the table. He immediately dried up the remains of tears on his face. Now his eyes are shining on the T-shirt used by Gerry, the chest of the shirt looks wet, due to his actions.


"Gerry, your clothes are wet" said Dinda, in a spoiled voice typical of a guilty child.


Gerry just smiled, when he heard back Dinda's spoiled voice. "Is it okay?" gerry said as he developed his smile. "Have you felt good?" tanyakanya. Dinda nodded her head, while again cleaning her compressed nose using a tissue.


For a while the atmosphere between them was so silent ....


"Dinda," called Gerry, in his soft voice. Dinda looked towards him.


"Do you really love Damas that much?" ask Gerry slowly. Dinda also nodded.


"Basic, you're like a fly!" gerry chuckled, trying to melt the atmosphere.


"flies? Meaning how?" Dinda frowned in wonder, while putting on her innocent face.


"Yes, advising you is difficult at all, as difficult as convincing a fly, that a flower is much more beautiful than a litter" Gerry said, giving a subtle satire.


However, Dinda's brain seemed to be in a rage. He just frowned, a sign of not understanding Gerry's words.


"Oh you, that's it." Gerry shuffled slowly at Dinda's head because he was feeling anxious.


"Dinda, I ask you one more time, do you still expect to be with Damas?"


For a moment Dinda was silent, she sighed as if heavy. "Now I don't know .. if yesterday I was still hoping to live with him. But, I don't know..my hope now feels more lost after knowing everything, I am confused by all this," he said with a slow snort.


"Alright, then, I'll help you" Gerry said.


"Help? ... Helped what?"


"Help you not to be confused .. and be aware, whether he is worthy of your expectation or not" he replied firmly.
