When Talak Has Spoken

Chapter 81 Meeting Dimas

“If nak Bisma is bored in the current service, papa can mutation into the related service whose place is more prestigious, papa,” Wirya began to take control of the conversation seeing the reaction of the man she was targeting to be her son-in-law silent no comment.

“Thank you sir. I feel comfortable in the place now,” Bhishma refuses subtly.

“If you feel comfortable, papa can coordinate so that your position can rise to the top level.”

Mayang glared at Bisma who was now having a look with her. He could see the unhappiness that emanated from the look on Mayang's face.

“Papa could manage all the bureaucracy that was there,” Siska said with a proud look.

Ardi could see that his sister-in-law was not provoked by the words of both father and son.

“Starting next Monday Siska is on duty at one of the hospitals in Bogor,” Wirya said slowly.

“Thank you pa. I'm not comfortable working in a new place, but I don't know anyone .... “ Siska again said spoiledly.

Mayang looked back at Bhishma. He wanted to see his sister's reaction. If what mama said is true, surely Bisma will look happy for the closeness that occurred between him and Siska.

Even the night they stayed in Bogor, he felt that there was nothing special from the view of Bhishma on the beautiful doctor who tried to grab the attention of ‘batu’nya's sister.

But Nurita made another conclusion. With the freedom of Siska in and out of his house, it means that Bhishma has opened himself to accept the presence of someone in his life.

“Papa wants to leave Siska during his stint in Bogor,” Wirya's voice again slashes Mayang's memory. “Moreover the hospital where he served not too far from the work location nak Bisma.”

Wirya looked at the Bhishma who remained flat. This young man in front of him was indeed very tough and not easy to follow the rules of the game that he made. He believes, if Bhishma can be part of his family, then their family will be more prominent in Bogor.

“Really pah. In London alone, if already the road with mas Bisma. Feel something protecting,” with eyes sparkling Siska bluntly.

Mayang glared at Bisma full of intimidation because he did not react to the conversation of the two children's fathers. He began to be convinced of his mother's words.

“Bisma ...” clap on his shoulder makes Bisma who wants to answer the words of Siska and her father immediately stopped. It flips the body.

“Abdul Ghani ..” Bisma was pleased with the arrival of her old friend while still in High School.

“Sorry doctor Siska .. pak Wirya I excuse me,” he said while nodding his head.

Without expecting the agreement of the two, Bisma immediately stepped in following Ghani, her best friend who had not met for a long time. Many stories that they shared, until finally he knew, if Ghani managed to realize his ideals as a ruler.

“Congratulations for your success as the head of KUA in Batu city,” Bisma was also happy for the achievements of his colleagues.

“I also said the same thing,” Ghani replied enthusiastically, “That's your candidate?”

Bisma turned her gaze for a moment at Siska and her papa who were still continuing their pleasantries. He could see Siska's gaze fixed on him.

“I have not thought of starting after the first failure,” Bisma said slowly to take her eyes off Siska.

“I'm sorry,” Ghani felt that there was sadness from the words of his friend, “Create yourself and start approaching with those who have the Power. Someday you will find the best way.”

“Thank you Ghan,” Bhishma welcomed Ghani's hand and shook it warmly.

He saw that Mayang and Ardi were no longer with Siska and his father. The two now chatted with the two Ardi people who greeted them warmly. He knew that the two happy brides would continue their honeymoon trip to Bali on the last plane tonight.

From the corner of his eyes he saw that Ajeng had begun to enter the house with Lala who had fallen asleep in the arms of the young man who had been with him from the beginning. Anger and sadness at the same time perched in his mind.

Tonight he missed a time of togetherness and interaction with his daughter. But a pile of questions still hangs, and he hasn't been able to solve them all. There was nothing he could ask, all was silent and considered all was ordinary.

One by one the guests began to leave Nurita's residence. The night is getting late. Bisma was relieved because Wirya, Siska and her bodyguard had also been parting a while ago.

Right at 10 p.m., the WO began dismantling the tent. The bisma still stands watching their work. His gaze was fixed on the tall figure who was walking quickly out of his mother's house.

He saw his ex-sister-in-law now walking closer. He must answer questions that interfere with his thinking. He was convinced that Dimas was the only one who could give the answer that he was looking forward to at the moment.

“How are you doing mas?” dimas politely reached out a hand that immediately greeted Bhishma with a warm embrace.

For almost three years they had not met, once he decided to continue his studies abroad. There were many changes that he saw in Dimas. His body grew stronger, and maturity was also depicted on his face.

“As you see now,” replied Bisma kindly while letting go of her embrace, “You are getting more muscular. Of course you have a partner now.”

Dimas smiled at the question asked by his former brother-in-law.

“Not yet. Still focused on college as well, all help me mbak manage his business,” replied Dimas casually, “I'm sorry now mas. Tomorrow there are still activities on campus.”

“Mas wants to talk a lot with you,” Bhishma is holding back Dimas steps who is about to lift his legs.

Seeing Dimas who frowned eel with his face shrouded in confusion made Bisma laugh.

“Don't worry, mas will replace your gasoline ten times from mbak-mu,” as well as Bisma, make Dimas face instantly melt.

“Cause,” Dimas replied to Bisma, “What do you want me to talk to?”

“We just sit there,” Bhishma pointed to the park chair that is now clean from the tents that cover and began to be raised to the box car that has been provided by the owner of the WO.

The two immediately walked together towards a chair that was quite far from home. Bhishma should get a definite answer tonight.

“What do you want to ask me?” Dimas couldn't help but immediately scout for Bhishma as soon as the two sat together.

Bisma was silent for a moment not directly answering. He did not know where to begin with the question he was going to ask Dimas. There's too much he wants to know.

First about the failure of Ajeng married. Furthermore, the woman who was brought by Hilman and was in a state of great pregnancy while at the Mayang party earlier. And finally young men who were close to Ajeng and Lala after his death continued their studies.

Bisma has calculated the question that he will now submit to his former brother-in-law. He is confident Dimas will give him all the answers he needs right now.

“Mas did not know that your mother was not married to the man,” Bhishma said slowly but quite clearly caught the hearing senses Dimas.

Dimas looked at Bisma as if he could not believe what his former brother-in-law was asking.

“Not a public secret anymore. That was already three years ago,” he replied casually without burden.

“So therefore the bundle of Lala is close to the glasses guy?” Bhishma could not help but want to know more deeply.

“Not so the flow,” Dimas laughs at the question Bisma dimeh who was very cool with his brother's life.

“Mas met Hilman and the pregnant woman he was with,” Bhishma continued her words hoping Dimas told her everything clearly.

“Luckily, I did not accept his decision and chose to split up. The man who could not be held by his words,” a snarl seemed to emerge from the handsome face of the tall young man.

Each remembering the name of Hilman makes the tension immediately go up. He never forgot when Hilman's parents came, asking his sister to rethink her decision to choose to separate and cancel the marriage which will be held in less than a week.

The bisma hears carefully and attentively. He could see the emotions on Dimas's face. His hands clenched several times while telling stories.

“Women do not know shame it continues to disturb mbak Ajeng. Though her husband who constantly came to the house because he did not want to meet her,” Dimas said with a reddened face.
