You, Or Him

Episode 31

“You forgot to bring your wallet?”

Zia turned her head and almost fell backward when she found Dimas' face which was only a few cents away from her. Zia cleared her throat to neutralize her heartbeat. He looked at the elevator door that had just opened. Their feet stepped out of the iron box.

“You forgot your wallet, Zia?” repeat Dimas when he does not get an answer from him.

Zia smiled awkwardly not knowing what to answer. He had a wallet with him, he just made it an excuse so he could go with Anton and be free of this seemingly hot-tempered couple.

Zia cleared her throat for a moment while glancing at Dimas briefly. “Iya, Sir. Missed at home.”

“Nah so with us just eat it, so you do not need to spend funds.” said Dimas again.

“But I want to go with Mas Anton, sir. He's been waiting for me in front.”

There is no word from Dimas. He just focused on the phone he had in his hand. Audi is the same. He seemed busy typing something on his phone.

“No longer can lo?” spray Anton on Zia. Anton who was leaning against the wall with his legs crossed showed his regret at Zia. It seemed that the man was unaware that Zia was being together with their superior.

Hearing that Dimas turned his eyes to Anton. Then Dimas glanced at Audi who was also currently looking at Anton.

“Ya, sorry. The part from the top here also takes time, Mas.” replied Zia. Now Zia faces Dimas and Audi completely. “Pak Dimas, I lunch with Mas Anton aja, yes.”

“Duh, why the hell, Zi? It was already willing to be with us.” Audi protest did not accept.

“Gue does not carry a wallet, Di. Anton wants to pay me. Isn't that right, Mas?” yang Zia who was nodded by Anton.

“So if you are with me, you don't think I will pay, Zia?” tanya Dimas is down. “I am still able to pay for your food Zia, even if you choose to live with me too, I can.” he continued with a meaningful gaze.

Zia didn't know what to answer. But his gaze was on Audi who was watching the people around them.

“But I promised to take her to lunch together, sir. So as little as I want to keep my promise.” said Anton after silence since. The phone that had been held was now in his pants pocket.

“Then we have lunch together. Let's just say we're double date.” broke Undeniable Dimas.

“What do you want to order?” ask Audi who is a little closer to Dimas. They only used one menu book for the two.

“Do not call father, this is no longer in working hours,” said Dimas who made Audi smile misbehaved. “Samain same order you aja,” he continued.

Zia and Anton looked at each other in confusion. For the first time both Zia and Anton heard Dimas did not want to be called father by Audi. The feeling when yesterday they were in Dufan, Audi always called Dimas by the name of father.

Zia picked up her vibrating phone on the table. There was a WhatsApp message from Anton that made Zia glance at the man beside her. Anton who knew Zia was glancing at him only put a short shoulder to shoulder.

Mas Anton's

Was I wrong planet, huh? How are they different?

Zia typed something in return.

Zia

I don't understand either. Different from the morning. But the most obvious time Audi out of the room Dimas before lunch.

Zia looked up at Audi and Dimas who were chatting with a small volume of voice, almost whispering if according to Zia. Ck, typical of people who are in a relationship.

Zia re-typed something on her phone.

Zia

Do they have a relationship, huh, Mom?

Mas Anton's

Don't know. If so, aren't you jealous?

“Say double date, how busy are each phone?” ask Dimas. The man put his hands together on the table and looked at Anton and Zia in turn.

Anton straightened his body that was leaning. “That said double date is also the father himself without us agreeing. Anyway, sir, we don't feel like we're being updated. Except we feel like we are watching you guys who are kasmaran.”

“Ya. You haven't ordered any food. What message do you want?” ask Audi gently.

“Ndon't need. I eat somewhere else.” Anton stood up from his chair. “Zia, you come with me or keep here?” ask Anton who saw Zia confused.

“Gu-gue follow you deh.”

They came out of the restaurant that Dimas had chosen. Anton who just kept silent while walking quickly made Zia snort annoyed. Zia stopped stepping letting Anton be far ahead of her.

“Mas..” shouted Zia.

Anton stopped and turned around. He was surprised to see Zia who was left quite far behind.

“If you like Audi, say! Don't be upset yourself keep leaving me dong. I'm tired of ni.” Zia was still in the same position making Anton shake his head while smiling.

Anton walked over to Zia. “Lo by the way never use tedeng aling-aling yes,” said Anton who almost reached in front of him.

“It is true that lo-”

His speech came to a halt as he felt the vibrations from his phone. There's an incoming call with Daniel's name on his phone.

“Halo.”

“Zia, can I ask you please not the same lo?”

“Can. What are you, Dan?” asked Zia while glancing at Anton who had arrived in front of her.

“Lo is busy? Please pick Reno up with Rumi in Cempaka, will you? Reno cars broke down in a place away from the crowd, he said. I'm still out of town, so can't pick them up.”

Zia looked at the circular clock on her right wrist. “Can anyway, I'm taking another lunch break too now. But the question is, will Rumi not if I pick him up? Later I'm tired of going there, eh he does not want. Kan I kel.”

“Certainly want to. He also told me he's sorry you kok.”

“I'm sorry? Who has a role to forgive here me, Dan, not him.” annoyed Zia.

“Zia.. No need to be extended. I mean, if he feels he's right, then you don't feel wrong either, jaudah. I don't mean to believe Rumi keeps judging you, no. But I'm your best friend, we're right, Zi. Lo as a person who always thinks positively, I believe can be wiser for this problem. I believe that.”

Zia sighed. “Ok, I'm there. Send me the full address. Keep telling them that I picked up.”

Connection interrupted. Zia kept her phone in a bag after receiving the full address that Daniel sent via a message.

“Mas, I go first yes. Temen I need help.”

“Gue anterin,” replied Anton.

“No need, the break is only half an hour while you have not eaten. You eat it yes, I go.”

“Lo also has not eaten,”

“Gue is easy, ntar can eat with my friend. Bye, Mas.”

Zia enters her car parked in the parking lot of her office. Indeed, the restaurant that was appointed Dimas just happened to coincide in front of the office, so Zia did not need far to get to her car.

Zia traces the streets that are only accompanied by the voice of the radio announcer in her car. Zia likes to listen to the radio in her car. Because according to him, listening to the voice of radio broadcasters can also eliminate the silence that exists. Like a real friend.

Zia opened the windshield as she had entered the area, which Daniel said was where Reno's car broke down. It was only fitting that he asked his friend for help from outside, this place was completely deserted. Really far from the crowd. Even Zia did not find a single or two item house here.

Zia stopped her car when she saw Reno's car parked on the side of the road. Zia got out of her car to Reno's. No one's there, deserted. Reno was not in her car when Zia tried to see through the closed windshield.

The sound of the car coming from behind made Zia look back.

BRAAKKK!!!

The beautiful woman's body was bounced away from where it was before. His weak body lay helplessly on the asphalt. Red liquid flowed from all over his face. His eyes opened for a few seconds before being tightly shut leaving only darkness.
