Sentul International Circuit.
I slipped my hands in my jacket pocket and leaned my back on the audience stands. The excitement of today's rehearsal race event is slowly fading. The roar of the car engine roared at high speed as it circled the circuit track slowly stopping one by one at the starting line.
The collaboration between the coldness of Bogor and empathy for Dhika made me lean on her.
“No papa you're not there, the important thing is that you're here. Same me.” I said spoiled. “More friendly right?”
Mas Dhika who had just turned to the red and muttered a lot about the dress rehearsal this afternoon embraced me while resting his chin on the top of my head.
“It should be today to prove to you and your family that my choice is not just a matter of speed, Sha. But about satisfaction and relief is already at the point where I am able.”
“Mental champion emang can not be extinguished yes, wonder me. No kapoknya you mas.”
“He.” Dhika nyengir. “Times not now, maybe later. I need to practice again with new legs and there is no way I make you sad again, crying bombay every night. Really make me fall in love every time see the sincerity of your love.”
I can only smile while still beating as Dhika embraces me tighter.
“That's it, we just enjoy today and tomorrow cheerfully. No race is no problem? The important thing is now to be healthy and be able to go everywhere.” I looked at him after looking.
Mas Dhika exhaled while spewing out her words as if giving rise to a bitter taste.
“Just until now I was curious Ris who is reckless wrecked my car.”
“Papa not talking? Police too?”
“Boro-boro I met the police, which I just forgot. All I remember when I hit a tree yesterday, my legs are very sick and I'm half-moderate. I was afraid that time it died on the spot because I knew the injury on my leg was really bad.”
I hugged him at a glance. I can't imagine the moment the tragic moment happened. How confused he is alone. But where are the friends? My suspicions started to just rise.
“Just who was the same yesterday of the wild race?”
“There are many, community children.”
“Created there?”
“He is, he proposed.”
“Kok he didn't nolongin you?”
Mas Dipta immediately released an astonished expression and thought hard. His forehead until it crinkles. “Yes, he didn't support me at that time. The car is behind me!” His face was uncomfortable, his hands clenched in his lap, his lips tightened, his jaw hardened. Mas Dhika exhaled a long breath and pulled it so strongly before taking it off again violently especially when Dipta called us from the direction of the circuit while waving his hand.
I helped Dhika stand up and bend over, picking up crutches.
“Kalo is suspicious try ordinary first.” my suggestion while holding his arm.
Mas Dhika silly kissed my cheek. I'm awake, “Neither is the transfer. No shame!”
“Bodo highly.” I said before we descended the stairs carefully.
We approached Dipta. He uses a white wear pack, the front of which is listed by his supporting sponsor. The flags of the sponsors of the race were fluttering in front of the stands as the wind blew.
Mas Dhika was silent for a while as if muffling something that exploded in her heart.
“Gue would like to see the organizer with my sponsor, Dip. My race is canceled.” said mas Dhika without staring at Dipta. The view is on the crowd of racers who are gathering with a head protection helmet. Some I know them as old riders, but there are also new riders.
“Lu mending join them, Dip. There's still a follow-up meeting, right?”
“OK, Mas Fais is in regular place.” Dipta patted his shoulder while gawking away.
I smiled as Dhika took off her breath quickly.
“Dreams buried, future destroyed, the hearts of the people who fell on me!” said bitter.
“You nudu? Papa closed the problem yesterday, it is difficult to ask for proof again mas.”
“Part of you why talk, Sha. I'll be thinking suddenly!”
I shook my waist while defying his gaze. “Terus Risha should how, just be quiet while the person who sabotaged your car is happy?”
“Ngak that, we will want a free vacation here, if the end of that thought, I became sensitive dear.” lamented mas Dhika with a grim face.
“Gue knows there must be people from the community who do not like me. It's just my fault that I have so much revenge!”
I stroked her cheek, feeling her deepest pain. “Not about revenge, it's about competition.”
Mas Dhika exhaled slowly. “Udah we just go to my business same big man.”
“Mau Risha accompanied?”
“Wait as usual, this weird one. There was a loss on the part of the sponsor because of the reduced number of players, so I had to compensate. I think you know..” he said while trying to walk alone.
I directly faced the sky. O Allah, what if the compensation is as great as the benefits obtained by Dhika? While our wedding donation money is only half that goes in the wallet.
I took a breath and walked beside him. “Whatever the risk there must be a way out mas.”
“So for sure, if there is none, yes we find our own way. Rat aja pinter, Dhika time no.’
I'm blinking lips. “His boasting in lessin deh, tau tau this reprimand.”
“Confidence, Sha. Not cocky.” Dhika nodded and waved to her friends.
“Gue take care of my work first, elo get together with them. Say I'm sad, I cry, I'm almost crazy let them on hard thought race time tomorrow.”
Replace me who is lying down and push his shoulder. “You are cunning mas!”
Mas Dhika pulled one corner of her lips. “This is how men work! Can not be arrogant yes low, let the opponent in the wind or even down to earth! We never know someone's heart, Sha. Especially men!” whispered cruelly in my ear.
I turned the eyeballs and moved into the crowd of riders. Continuing the Dhika mas plan with drama and tears that flow without me can prevent when telling me how the tragedy hit him and make everything change.
