YOU ARE ALWAYS THERE
#34 Setting the Heart
Dinda looked at Kevin. He glimpsed a disappointed look on Kevin's face. Their eyes meet. Dinda quickly turned her face away.
" I'm home .." Kevin said as he got up from his seat.
" Wait ..." Dinda held back Kevin's steps. Dinda bit her lower lip..
" There's something I want to ask you.." Dinda continued her sentence.
Kevin sat back down. He looked at Dinda.
" Vin.. Excuse me. I just want to know. It was that night...." Dinda stopped her words. Kevin thought for a moment. He looked back at Dinda. He understood Dinda's question.
" I was looking for Marisa at the discotheque. I want him to apologize to you about what happened at his house. But he threatened me, wanted to spread a picture of me sleeping with him... " Keel breathed heavily. Actually there is no meaning he told it to Dinda, after all Dinda also will not likely want to return to him.
" And then..." Dinda wants Kevin to continue the story.
" One thing you should know. As depraved as I am. I never slept with him. I'm sure I didn't do anything with him at the time. Lately I found out he put sleeping pills in my drink. I was framed with him.." Kevin touched Dinda's palm so she could trust him.
" I believe in you Vin...I'm sure Marisa just wanted us to split up.."
" Thank you Din. I just did it with you. You have to believe that..."
" But, as I said, your place is already occupied by Dilan.I can't do anything about it.."
" Yes I understand. I just came here to see Vinda. Thank you for not allowing me to meet my son "
Kevin is grateful to have Vinda. He also let go of Dinda's hand.
" Din. I also just found out from Mbak Fevy about Dilan. At first I wanted to blame Mas Dilan for leaving Fevy, but I began to understand that it was actually Mas Dilan who sacrificed a lot to replace me and the position of Vinda's father..but why don't you ever tell me about Dilan's mass status with me ?"
Dinda speechless. He never told Kevin about Dilan when they were dating.
" I've known Vin for a long time, but I'm afraid that if Dilan finds out that I know it, he'll leave me. You know, I already consider him as my brother. Because he's been there even when I wasn't born.." Granted tears.
Actually something is regretted. He lost the figure of an older brother who was now a husband to him.
" So, the time Dilan offered himself..."
" Mas Dilan never volunteered to marry me. Papa me and papa you talked about it. On the one hand, Dilan felt she had a debt of gratitude to my parents and a promise to take care of me and on the one hand somehow mbak Fevy also let go of Dilan for me. We know how strong their love is...."
" Mr Fevi said he had his own reasons for doing that. But I can conclude that Fevy also felt guilty if Vinda did not have a father because I was declared missing or even died. Ma'am Fevy feels responsible for representing me Din.."
" I knew it was Din. If I hadn't been chasing Marisa and had an accident maybe none of this would have happened and we would have been married..." Kevin said with a tone of regret.
" It's Vin. Nothing to regret. Vinda is happy to have two fathers who love her so much. Now you have to get your life back together. Looking for a companion who loves you... "
Dinda said as if held back. It's actually heavy he said that. He himself does not understand what is in him.
" Din, answer honestly..Have you not got the same feeling as me ?" Kevin asked with a serious face. Dinda sighed.
He completely forgot Kevin. But when Kevin really was in front of him he did not dwell.
" I. I have loved Dilan Vin.." The word came out of Dinda's mouth.
He still loves Kevin. But he did not want Dilan's struggle all this time in vain. He didn't want to lose Dilan but didn't want Kevin to leave. Dinda had a dilemma in her heart.
2 years later***
Kevin has been actively returning to his father's company. He also completed his previously delayed studies.
Handsome, well-established and smart are no guarantee Kevin can have a woman.
To this day, he still chooses himself. Not unwilling to search but he still could not forget the shadow of Dinda in his heart.
Dinda felt that way too. Frequently meeting with Kevin on the grounds of Vinda makes him feel the seeds of love in his heart. But he can still hold it. That was because he really loved Dilan and did not want Dilan to think of it as a mere escape.
Dilan is willing to let go of Fevy for his happiness. There's no way now Dinda has to let Dilan go back with Kevin.
On the other hand, Dilan who actually knows that there is still room in Dinda's heart for Kevin. Their love is so strong even now. Plus Kevin left a baby for Dinda.
Dilan feels she wants to take Dinda off for Kevin but Dinda has already started to love him.
There have even been many women who have been introduced by their parents or colleagues to Kevin but even though Kevin is not interested. He had no power to date another woman.
And Dilan realizes that Kevin is not unwilling, but he can't forget Dinda.
***** Dikantor Kevin
Kevin's phone rings. Phone call from his mother.
" Deck, I haven't been home yet. 7pm. You're overtime ?" Miranda asked as Kevin picked up the phone.
Miranda checks on Kevin almost every day. It's all he did because he didn't want to lose his son again.
" A little more Ma. Kevin's still in the office, there's still a file Kevin needs to finish tonight. Maybe in an hour Ma "Absaid Kevin clear.
" Aren't you going home? There's your son here..." His mother was sure Kevin would go home as soon as he mentioned Vinda.
" Surely ma ?" Kevin asked for certainty.
As busy as Kevin is, if this concerns his son then he will leave all his busyness. He wanted to repay the time he had spent not with his son.
" Yes from 5 o'clock.. He's sure to go home with his mother but he says he wants to wait for Papa Kevin.." Miranda explained with a small laugh.
" Mama didn't say from earlier anyway.Yes Kevin is home now ya Ma.." Kevin said as he hung up the phone and took the keys to the car while running out of his office.
When Kevin entered the car, a pair of eyes were watching from a car parked not far from Kevin's car.
