You, Me And Our Memories

Plan

Deggs....

Diya's heart skipped a beat when she found out that Ivan wanted to invite her to meet his mom and dad.

Back Diya rounded his eyes staring in shock at Ivan.

"You, you want to introduce me to your parents? In what order?" Ask Diya deg-degan.

"In order to commemorate the day of the oath of youth" said Ivan annoyed with Diya whose brains are now starting to be complete again.

"I'm sure I'd like to introduce you to my parents. I told you just now. That's because I want to be serious to you" she added.

Diya is silent with a thousand languages. There was a feeling of joy and fear in his heart that became one. Well, it's nice that Ivan wants to introduce him to both of his parents. Which girl is not happy if the man she likes invites her to the house to meet her parents. Of course all girls like it. Means slowly the man introduced that this is the prospective companion of my life who will later enter our family. That's how it is, mom.

However, Diya also felt afraid that the thing that happened seven years ago would happen again. Where her dream man's parents don't like her. And strongly opposed their relationship.

"What should I do? I'm confused how?" Diya gugub.

"Diy, what's wrong with you?" Ask Ivan.

Diya shocked.

"It's okay" he said trying to carve a smile on his face.

"You sure?" Diya asked with doubt. The trauma he experienced yesterday is still clearly reflected in his memory. Naturally he felt nervous to meet his second time with the old man who had filled his void.

Ivan nodded with confidence.

"And when I have introduced you to my two parents, I will ask you to take me to meet your parents"

Diya just remembered that this vacation he and Yuli planned to go home.

"When are you coming home? I want to come with you" said Ivan.

"This holiday Yuli and I are planning to go home anyway"

"Then I'm coming" Ivan smiled.

"Because it's a few days off, so I have to get to my dad and mom as fast as I can"

Deggs.....

The revelation in Diya's heart grew more pronounced.

"But I'm not ready yet" he said slowly.

"How not ready?"

"I, I'm afraid....." Diya hung up her words.

"Fearful? Scared why?" Ivan was astonished.

"Oh I know you must have felt that my mama was going to act like Aunt Mira. You must be afraid of things that happen again, right? I'm sure mama won't be like Aunt Mira. My mother doesn't look at anyone who wants to be close to me" said Ivan.

Diya was silent with a thousand languages. The girl seemed to think over what Ivan was saying.

"You still don't believe me?" Ivan asked looking fixedly at the girl beside him.

"No, no. That's not what I meant. I believe in you" Diya felt bad.

"Yes, I'll take you to meet my parents tomorrow night. Ba'da Isya I picked ya up"

Diya nodded. Her heart hesitated a little to meet Ivan's parents. But what can be done. Ivan kekeh asked the girl to come visit his main house.

"Let's go home" said Ivan, turning on his car engine and splitting the city's highway.

***

"Van" Welcomes Virda running for joy seeing Ivan's figure enter his house. The girl was waiting for Ivan to come home.

Ivan was shocked to see the girl.

"Why is this kid still here? He said he wanted to go home today. Is it not again?" Inner Ivan with a lazy gaze towards Virda.

"Look" Virda handed a letter to Ivan with a happy smile.

Ivan took it with wonder and curiosity.

"What's this?"

"Read it" said Virda would not tell what the letter was.

Ivan opened the letter the girl gave him and read it.

Ivan rounded his eyes. I was shocked at the letter.

"You work in this office?"

Virda nodded with a still happy smile.

"Why?"

"Why what is it? You said in your office there were no job openings. So I took the initiative to apply for a job in another office. And the result I received. Well even though the salary is not as big as my salary in the old office, but this is good enough to meet my needs. And most importantly, I will stay in this city with you" Virda smiled at Ivan's chin.

Back again Ivan massaged his head that felt dizzy because of the work of his best friend. He did not think about the girl. Others expect to work in overseas offices where the income there is greater than in the country. He instead chose a job in an office in this country where his income is not comparable to his previous office.

"You are how the hell Vir, you should be working in even bigger offices in developed countries. So your life is improving rather than going down like this. You know Indonesia is just a developing country. The income here is not worth the income there.

"Why would I work there if my mind and heart were here" Virda said honestly.

"You mean?" Ivan pretended not to understand.

"Yes you are Van. Don't you know that?"

Again the man pinched his head which again felt dizzy.

"Vir, not her....."

"Yes I know, I know you don't love me. I know all of her. You don't have to tell me anymore about it" Virda's face looked disappointed.

"If you already know why to force?"

"I'm not pushy, but I'll get you back to me. Love me with all your heart" Virda said with confidence. And I will make you know who Diya is, the girl you crave so much" Virda said sarcastically.

"As much as you are Vir I'm dizzy with you. But I beg you not to look down on Diya" insisted Ivan.

"When did you start work?" Ivan turned.

"Next week" Virda said.

"If you really want to work here, I beg your understanding. You can't stay in this house forever. We don't have any ties" Ivan said, sounding ousting.

"You kicked me out?" Virda was offended.

"If you feel that way, I just don't want to be the talk of the neighbors" Ivan said.

"I know Van. Tomorrow I'll find a new place to live here. You want to help me?" Pinta Virda's.

"I'm busy Vir. I do a lot of work in the office"

"Why are you Van? Why do you always avoid me. Now why have you changed so much? Now you have absolutely no time for me" Virda quivered.

"I'm sorry Vir. I'm really busy. If you think I hurt you, I'm sorry. I just express what I feel. I don't want to give you hope. Where that hope will hurt you even more." Clearly Ivan.

"To you I admit that and I thank you for that. But at least help me like you were always there for me. At least as a friend" Virda said with hope.

"Vir, you alone broke our friendship with all your behavior" said Ivan.

"You mean?"

"I don't think I should explain it. You know for yourself what you've been doing lately" said Ivan leaving a clueless Virda.

"What the hell am I doing? Do I not deserve to fall in love?" Her thought.

Well that expression of love is one that makes their friendship like this. Moreover seeing Virda who had now changed where he very casually entered into Ivan tampa's room of permission. Always asking for attention, even Virda now looks brag and chatty it is what makes Ivan uncomfortable.

"Diy you why?" Tanya Yuli saw Diya enter the house with a lackluster.

Diya slammed his body on the sofa located in the living room.

"Again bad mood" Diya said.

"Why? Another fight with Ivan?" Search Yuli.

"You know, when I got home from work, Ivan invited me to meet someone. You know who that is? Brother Ferdi" Diya started telling stories.

"What's?. How can?"

"Yes could be Yul, Brother Ferdi is Sonia's husband. Sonia is the younger sister of her cousin Ivan. He asked Ivan for help if he wanted to see me"

"Why is that? I mean, Ivan knows that Ferdi is your old lover. Why would he help her.. Is he not jealous to see you together?"

"Kak Ferdi said that Ivan just wanted to apologize and explain what happened to him all along. So that he and I have no misunderstanding" Diya explained.

"Because of that, Ivan wants to help her. Ivan said there's a girl in my office her name is Diya too. Who knows Diya who's in my office is the same Diya. So Ferdi wants to make sure if it's me" he added again.

"Why didn't Ivan want to be honest that you were the girl Ferdi was looking for? Why give such a reason"

"Later if Ivan is honest, there must be many questions that arise later. How did Ivan know that I was Ferdi's old lover? And blah blah blah. Ivan therefore chose for us to meet and tell and explain about our feelings"

"Continue?" Yuli looks serious.

"I explained everything that had happened to me all this time. How I'm doing, but what keeps me from thinking is that Brother Ferdi wants me to go back to ya"

"Ha" Yuli gaped in shock at what Diya said.

"Didn't he have a wife? What's your answer"

"Yes, I refuse. I'm a girl what's the time to be an actor in their lives. Me and Brother Ferdi are the past. And it'll still be the past"

"And now there's Ivan for your future right?" Connect Yuli.

"Yes right" Diya smiled.

"Ivan knows that Ferdi wants to get back to you?"

"Know, I told him the same story. He was angry, if he knew that Ferdi wanted to say that, Ivan would not let us meet. He helped because brother Ferdi reasoned another is to apologize and explain everything"

"Ferdi is nothing. Could he ask you back. He did not think what his wife was feeling. What else is his wife pregnant" growled Yuli.

"Don't know I'm Yul. I'm upset with him too. She thinks I'm a fuckin' girl. Yul don't talk about her anymore"

"Okay, the story's finished about Ferdi" Kanda Yuli.

"Oh yes Yul, the problem is we go back to the village, Ivan also wants to come along. He also wants to meet my mother"

"Seriously?"

"Yes Yul. Even before that happens, he wants me to meet his parents"

"Oh yeah?. When?"

"Before we return to Yul village. I'm honestly scared of Yul. Afraid that mama and her papa Ivan don't like me. Like her mama Ferdi's sister first." Diya looks sad.

"You don't think bad dong Diy. Everyone has a different nature. Who knows mama and her papa Ivan even welcome you"

"Yes Yul too, but still I'm afraid of Yul. Well you know the difference between my status and Ivan like heaven and earth Yul" Diya said.

"Diy, if you are already a match, it will be made easy.. Whatever your status of difference. And no matter how hard the problems that hinder your love, surely all of them will be made easy. Trust me the same"

"Yes Yul, I believe. Doain me well tomorrow night when I meet his two parents Ivan will be fine" Diya said with hope.

"Aami....I will definitely wish you all the best. How could I not wish you all the best. You are the friend I love the most. I'm so happy to see you happy. Looks like someone will step into the pelaminan" Yuli said.

"Haha....Doain aja" Reply Diya.

"Yes, I want to clean first. This sultry" said Diya rising from the sofa towards her bedroom.

"Okay shower over there. It stinks of you" Canda Yuli.

"Just boy. Still smells me" Diya smelled his arm making sure that his body was still fragrant.

Yuli laughed off seeing Diya acting like that.

"I'm glad that Diy sees you now being more cheerful. Your life is now more colorful because of Ivan's presence" Inner Yuli smiled looking at Diya's back that was further away from her.
