A few years ago.
Calvin went to a cafe while he was on a two-month vacation. He has to meet someone. The woman was waiting for him.
"Siang, Brother." said Calvin.
The woman smiled. That woman is Ariel, Dinda's sister. Last night he called Calvin because he wanted to talk about something.
"Vin, thanks because you already want to take care of Dinda even though you know you yourself are tormented must be in a relationship with someone you do not love. Brother can feel it." said Ariel with a grim face.
Calvin drank the cola in front of him. He smiled even though he had to. "You can be honest, actually I'm tormented to have to relate to Dinda."
"Kak you know. That's why I called you here." said the woman.
Calvin began to listen seriously to Ariel.
"We lost our parents when Dinda entered the first grade of high school. Dinda is a perfectionist. He always loved the perfect thing. When our parents were still around, they spoiled the child too much. Whatever is asked is loved. That's why I know he's a bitch to your friend, if not wrongly named Sandra, brother sad. It turns out that nature still exists. And worse, she doesn't care about how you and Sandra feel. He also still has to take medicine until now because of the depression. If his wish is not fulfilled, Dinda's disease can recur."
Calvin just kept quiet.
"So I'm ashamed of you. Because you have to experience something like this, Vin."
"Everything has happened, brother. I was just thinking how to get rid of Dinda."
"Well, that's exactly what you want to see. So Gini Vin, unbeknownst to Dinda, sister sends the proposal of Dinda's drawings to the design school in Paris. The good news was that my brother received his letter. He got into school there."
Calvin felt there was a gap to leave Dinda. "How do you want me?"
"So don't ask you to persuade Dinda. This opportunity will never come twice, Vin. At least if Dinda leaves, you won't have any burdens. For the next one let brother think about Dinda."
Calvin breathed a heavy breath. "Calvin's gonna try, brother." He still feels pessimistic because Dinda is a reckless person.
"Yes, Brother Ariel. Calvin inget." replied Calvin as he remembered the woman's voice.
"Can we meet. It's too urgent, Vin. I'm at Pharma Medika Hospital. Can you come here now? Dinda tried to kill herself a few days ago" Ariel said.
Calvin surprised. He took off the cup he was holding until it fell into pieces. Sandra who heard that immediately ran towards him. He thought for a few days that Dinda had not contacted him because she had given up.
"Why, Vin? You okay?" ask Sandra to panic. He held Calvin's shoulder.
Calvin looked at Sandra. "I'm okay" he said palely.
Sandra held Calvin's hand and looked at him carefully. He was afraid that something might be scratched. He was still using his apron as he swept the broken glass away.
"Sandra.."
Sandra. "Why?"
"I have to go now. There's a problem in the office." Calvin said as he stood up.
Sandra stood up. He looked at Calvin in confusion.
"I go first" said Calvin, hugging Sandra at a glance.
"Be careful on the road. Don't forget to eat. You don't have lunch yet."
"Yes. I'm going first. Bye" he exclaimed as he ran.
Sandra saw her pantry table had various vegetables that she had taken out. He was confused when he saw Calvin release his cup.Who contacted him? Why was Calvin's face suddenly pale?
pale?
Sandra sat on the sofa and thought. He never saw Calvin pale like that. He looked at his watch. Calvin had arrived at his office. Call someone.
"Tante.." call Sandra
"Yes dear. Wh why? tumben you call. Calvin's still there?" ask Amara.
"Calvin hasn't nyampe?" ask Sandra.
"He said he wanted to have lunch with you" replied Amara confused.
"Oh, okay Auntie, thank you." answered Sandra quickly. He hung up his phone.
Calvin left an hour ago. He couldn't possibly lie to her. He said there was a problem at the office. There seems to be no problem in the office. I started calling Dave.
"Sandra, I don't want to be cooked with you?" ask Dave who suddenly spoke. He sounds happy.
Sandra sighed. "Dave, is Calvin there?"
"He'll come home for lunch with you" Dave replied.
"Oh, okay with that. If you see Calvin, don't tell me I'm calling." Sandra said seriously.
He fell silent and looked at the painting in front of him. The picture laughed at his confusion. I don't know why he felt there was something Calvin was hiding. Why is his feeling so bad right now? So where is Calvin?
