(Who) I'm Without you
46. He's Coming Home

Dinda who was busy sitting on the balcony suddenly heard the sound of a horn from the front of the fence. Apparently it was Ariel, indeed last afternoon he had told Dinda through chat that he would go home tonight.

Dinda was ordinary, and even threw her face in the opposite direction. There was no pleasure there, just anger and hatred when he saw Ariel's sinless face.

"Darling... I'm coming home, how rich you don't like that I'm going home" Ariel scoffed from outside the fence right by the balcony.

"Why come home?" ask Dinda.

"And I told you that time, I was just for a minute. You have been out of town for a long time, I can't bear it. You must miss me? Yes, right" said Ariel who Pe-De half-dead.

"Huh" snorted Dinda. "Other times, if deketin cewe through sosmed, chatnya tuh do not forget to delete sir". Blam, balcony door is closed tight.

Dinda left Ariel outside alone. Ariel who still does not understand the meaning of Dinda's words just silence then return to his car and go straight to the garage at his home.

"Dinda why the hell? I came home not even angry. So, what did you try to mean? Deketin' girl?" I muttered all the way to my room.

I didn't think much about Dinda's problem either, I was so tired tonight I just wanted to rest. By-by what I bought for Dinda I just let it lay on the front desk of my room tv.

I cleaned my body and carried out my duty before going to bed that is Isya prayer. After the prayer, I played the phone while lying down.

Trying to make these eyes tired so quickly drowsiness. I went in and out of whatsapp just to monitor Dinda.

Is it online? Off-line? Or blocked by whatsappku. It turns out that Dinda is still online, I'm quite happy because it turns out I'm not blocked like I used to every time I make a mistake I'm blocked.

Still, I was powerless to contact him. I think it's better to give him some time so that the two of us don't hold on to each other tonight.

I'm tired, Dinda's in a bad mood. If I disturb him, we can definitely clash tonight.

After exiting whatsapp, I switched to open the facebook application, there my number of followers more, because before there was instagram I was an active user on facebook.

Many memories are stored there, photos of when I was in high school with friends even with the chatter. Thank goodness Dinda didn't know this.

It wasn't me who purposely hid it, it was just that keeping it a secret was much better than being a problem in my relationship with Dinda. To be honest, I love Dinda and love her very much.

I am not a good boyfriend for him, but I always try every day to always be there for Dinda, always accept all kinds of shortcomings Dinda. I always tried to give up on him, even though this attitude of surrender was always a form of compulsion.

Hopefully starting from this compulsion can become a habit. Because I want Dinda to be happy with me.

Dinda once asked me something, "Darling, you're never jealous of me? Are you not dear?". At that time I answered him only with a smile, because the truth is so.

I've never been jealous of Dinda, not because I don't love her. More precisely, because Dinda is too good at keeping my feelings. And I'm not so. "I'm sorry baby" I muttered as I pictured Dinda's innocent face right in my arms.

I'm so cowardly, I can't show you how much I love Dinda. I'm so cute, it's only natural that Dinda always doubted me.

But, the only woman in my life that I've ever rewarded was Dinda, the other one was just the wind. I'm not serious about them.

After being satisfied to see my facebook homepage, I also opened instagram, there my basketball friends' latest posts popped up. I just press the love icon and scroll down the screen.

Suddenly there was a new Direct Message coming in, I see, it was from Diana or Ana. He's my high school friend.

I used to have a crush on him, but he rejected me. And now I'm used to him.

Diana*Pratistha**

"This Ariel SMA 42 Garuda Putih is not it ?"

Arielll

DianaPratistha

"Well, the more handsome you are. Meet up sometime"

Arielll

"Siap👍"

That's my short message with Ana. I don't want to retaliate too much, because it would backfire if Dinda found out.

I didn't delete the chat, because I'm not used to deleting DMs. "Oh my God, Dinda's pantesan is angry, it turns out this" I screamed when I saw Ana's message that there was a message from a girl I used to fad about.

Yeah, just a fad doang gegodainnya. But it turns out the nanggepinnya girl is serious. And even more fun for me to decetinnya. Also very cute.

But it doesn't last long, because girls also have boyfriends. I'll never take Dinda off and date another girl.

Dinda remains number 1, which makes me this way because I'm bored. It takes a new atmosphere and you have time for yourself.

Because while I was with Dinda, I was happy. But I always obeyed what Dinda wanted without Dinda ever doing what I wanted.

In my relationship with Dinda all this time, I felt like I was the only one struggling. Dinda is like a queen who can rule and do as she pleases.

But to get away from Dinda, I don't want to. Regardless of how she treated me, she was a good woman, always appreciating my opinion about the slightest thing, she could make me laugh, she could be easily accepted in my family, she said, he can make me feel awkward with both of his parents, and lastly, he's perfect in my eyes.

Tonight, I have to rest. Because tomorrow I have to solve my and Dinda's problems.

I can't if I let things drag on, I'm afraid Dinda's really used to it without me. While me? It might be hard to forget.

Pov Ariel end's

Next morning

Thiins...

"Eh Riel, did you pick up Dinda?" ask mama Dinda.

"Yes aunty, I'm waiting for you not to come out yet" replied Ariel who had become his habit to pick up Dinda and go together everywhere.

"His mother's gone, Riel, didn't she talk to you?" ask Mama Dinda again.

"Gga aunt" I replied lethargic.

Dinda early in the morning made me misbehave her mother, I murmured in my heart.

"You fighting again?"

"-_-"

"Hmmm, yes it is there. You go to the office, it's late. Later let aunt nasehatin Dindanya well. You are careful on the road" said Mama Dinda who was very attentive to Ariel.

"Thank you aunt, I said yes first" said Ariel when finished kissing the back of her hand.
