I don't know how many times Dinda glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. Feeling that today time is going so slowly, he wants his work hours to end soon and can go home to rest the body that has been too tired. But before he gets home, he has to meet Adam first.
While waiting for the remaining working hours of not less than an hour, Adinda busied herself by checking the medical records of her patients.
Until working hours ended, the woman immediately prepared and packed her belongings.
Just got up from his seat, a chat notification came into his phone.
Adam: "Home home?" (16:02) Wc.
Dinda stared at the phone screen for a while. There are doubts when he will return the message.
Mas Adam: "I am in front, in the parking lot" (16:03) Wib.
Dinda's eyes blinked in disbelief reading Adam's second message. After making sure by rereading the message from her, Dinda finally put the phone into the bag then moved out of her room and stepped towards the parking lot where Adam had been waiting.
Adam was standing next to the front passenger door. When he saw Dinda walking up to him, the man immediately turned off the cigarette that had been smoked.
Dinda's steps were getting closer, while Adam's eyes continued to be directed at him.
"It seems, there's nothing we need to talk about, mas" Dinda said as she stood before him.
"Assalamu'alaikum" Instead of answering his question, Adam responded with greetings while throwing cigarette butts and stepping on them.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" Sahut Dinda did not dare to look at Adam. His gaze fell on the buttons of the shirt on the chest.
"We're talking in the park"
"We're sitting there!" reply Dinda fast and immediately set foot towards the park area. His heart was pounding as he stepped, his feelings were also beginning to fidget. Once hesitated for a moment, Dinda finally sat on the bench that a moment ago he pointed.
"Did I agree to sit here?" ask Adam who was standing in front of Dinda.
"Why indeed?" the woman looked up at Adam. "I want to sit here, is that a problem?"
"Move there!" Adam pointed at two small benches with his chin. "I'd rather sit face to face with the other person"
Hearing his words, Dinda gulped with great difficulty. The woman could not refuse because Adam had gone first to the bench of his choice. Inevitably Dinda also tailed and sat facing Adam who already looked comfortable in his position.
"What do you want to talk about?" Ask Dinda while strengthening mentally.
"Don't you know what we're talking about?"
"Don't I tell you, it's not necessary?"
Then silence. They are equally silent with inner conditions that may be opposite. Dinda who is shrouded in misgivings because it has trapped Adam, while Adam who looks relaxed and intends to marry her.
A few minutes passed, Dinda who was sitting restlessly made more restless because Adam's focus was not distracted staring at him.
"It looks like you are a stubborn woman and difficult to be invited to discussions" said Adam finally.
Dinda felt that he was being judged through Adam's eyes.
"Tell me what you want to discuss with me"
Not immediately answered, Adam seemed to judge or maybe compose the right words to start their discussion.
"I will take you before my parents and introduce you as my future wife"
"It doesn't seem like it needs to be a mas"
"I told you that my decision was unanimous"
"If the decision of my marriage to account for what we have done, it is better to undo the intention of the mas" Dinda's heart felt to beat faster when saying that. "I have a trick to keep our relationship from producing children, so we don't have to take responsibility"
Adam was silent while fixedly staring at the woman in front of him.
"Again, it's not just my fault, it's my fault too, so I'll take the risk myself"
Adam still held on to look at Dinda without a sound, and honestly this condition made Dinda start a row because the man who had invited the discussion was just silent ambiguous.
"Sit down" Adam cut quickly when he saw Dinda rise. "We're not done talking yet"
Taking a deep breath, Dinda relented and finally sat back down.
There was a pause of about five seconds before Adam made a sound. "Why did you say that?"
"Because I don't want to marry a man who still loves his girlfriend. So better yet, let's forget it all let's just say we never knew each other, I'll make sure I'm not pregnant"
"I know you're a doctor, it's easy for you to make that connection not cause you to get pregnant. But pregnant isn't pregnant, I'll keep marrying you"
"How many times do I have to say, not because we've done that, then make the mas forced to marry me under the pretext of being responsible. I know exactly how much love mas to Prilya"
Adam looked shocked after hearing Dinda's words, but within seconds, his face returned to normal.
"You say it like you know how I feel"
"Indeed the facts are like that" said Dinda, very softly while looking down. It can still be caught by Adam's ears. Reflexively, the twenty-eight-year-old man instantly raised one eyebrow.
"I mean, I'm sorry I ruined my plan to propose to Prilly"
"I suggest you don't protest too much"
"CReses?" concluded Dinda quickly while again lifting his head. "This is not a protest, I just do not want to get married if in the end divorced on the grounds of flat domestic relations because the marriage is based on accountability alone"
"So impliedly, you're judging me as a guy who likes to play with relationships, sacred relationships, right?"
"N-isn't that so mas?"
"What lounge?"
Dinda was silent with a bit of tension, her pair of neutrals fixed on Adam's chin as she did not dare to look at the man in front of her at all.
"Who are you talking to? I'd be happy if my opponent spoke while looking me in the eye"
The woman immediately understood that Adam was insinuating her who did not look at him while talking. "There's no reason not to look at me, Doctor Dinda. Now look at me"
Swallowing saliva, it took up to five seconds for Dinda to point her attention to Adam's face.
"Married me Din!" Pinta Adam as their eyes rubbed against each other. "I promise to forget about Prilly, and we will start a new life" Adam said. "I realized that Prilly and I couldn't get together. In addition to her very different social status, she must fulfill her mother's will to marry the man of her parents' choice"
Dinda just kept quiet while looking at him.
"I did marry you as a form of accountability for what I did to you, but once we get married, we will definitely love each other, we will need each other, because in marriage there's only me and you"
The woman realized that her black bead was currently moving restlessly.
"I'll think about it" Jaw Adinda was tightly clenched, holding something that suddenly invaded. "I'll tell you later"
"What else do you have to think?"
Dinda wanted to answer her question, but seeing Adam looking at her so deeply, there seemed to be a seriousness through her eyes that really wanted to marry her.
"We're married, Din!"
One second, two seconds...
"Alright" Finally, Dinda complies and agrees with Adam's plan.
Seriate...
How did you get here???
Any feelings??
Dinda or Prilly who finally married Adam???
