Bramasta was in touch with his German counterpart to continue a meeting that had been delayed when Adisti pampit to wait for Adinda at school.
Bramasta looked at Adisti with sad eyes.
“Please Bang.. concerned not so dong.kan this morning already okay.”
“But still it.”
“For a moment, Bang.”
“But still it..”.
“So we can miss each other.”
“Iya.”
“Udah ah, late. Disti pamit yes Bang.”
“Later on,” Bramasta restrains both arms of Adisti, “Promise to Abang, do not disappear from escort. Later at Adinda school, Disti do not lower the car glass let alone get off the car, even though there is a guard.”
“Iya Bang.”
“Don't go to a regular mall without a brother. To the mall owned by B Group only. Or Group B partner stores only. There will be an extra escort there for both of you. Likewise, if you want to eat. Find a restaurant or cafe owned by B Group or partner B Group.”
“Iya Brother Darling.”
“Disti already has a list of malls, stores, restaurants or cafes right?”
“Iya Brother Bramasta Darling.”
“Don't ngeyel. Brother doesn't want to see Disti injured.”
Adisti took a long breath. Looking at her husband who was talking again.
Fortunately, her husband is sitting.
Before her husband could speak again, she advanced her body. Holding his back neck with both hands. Closer his lips, then CUP.
Bramasta surprised. Not ready for Adisti's actions. Adsiti ends her kiss before Bramasta wakes up. Wake up if Bramasta wakes up. The girl time show will be canceled.
Adisti chuckles small with flushed cheeks.
“It is very difficult to say goodbye to go a few hours only.”
“Kok ease anyway? Don't you have time to bales?”
“Later tonight just reply. Salim..”
Bramasta thrusts his hand. Adisti kissed the back of her husband's hand with reverence.
“Abang come down, anterin Disti.”
“No need. Brother continued his meeting.”
“Abang wants to talk to the bodyguards.”
“Abang was talking about Disti escort this morning. Don't be lebay. Brother is here only.”
Adisti held Bramasta's arm to stay in his seat.
“Assalamu’alaikum Abang Bramasta. I love you Pak Husband.”
“Wa’alaikumussalam.”
Adisti hurried past from Bramasta's room.
Adisti arrived at Adinda's school minutes before the bell came home. Hearing the sound of the school bell, Adisti so longed for the white days of his ashes first.
The car was parked a little outside the school. Under the shady tree. A guard was waiting for Adinda in front of the gate.
The gate opened from the inside, children on foot scattering out of the school grounds. The bodyguard who was assigned to wait for Adinda looked confused looking for Adinda.
“Pak Imron?” a subtle voice greeted him.
“Nona Adinda? Wah.. ma’af, I did not recognize Miss.”
The bodyguard, named Imron, observed Adinda's face to confirm her vision.
“Why Sir? I look weird huh?”
“No, no, Miss. It's just that I pangling to see Miss like this.”
Adinda's cheeks blushing.
“Please, Miss. Lexus silver sedan under the tree there. Miss Adisti is waiting inside.”
Adisti who saw from a distance seemed very enthusiastic. Can't wait to see Adinda. When opening the door, the driver presses the central lock.
“Kok locked?”
“Mr Bramasta forbids Miss to get out of the car while in the school environment.”
“I wear masks and sunglasses yes?”
Driver shakes.
“Ma’af Miss. I don't want to take any chances. Especially now is the clock home. There are a lot of school kids outside the car. Miss's presence can cause chaos. Think also of the impact for Miss Adinda, Miss.”
“Ah yes. Ma’af. Thanks for being reminded.”
Adisti back to his back. Keep the mask and sunglasses in his sling bag again.
The door is knocked from the outside. Driver press the central lock button. Imron's bodyguards opened the door for Adinda. Adinda got in the car and said hello.
“Mashaa Allah, Adinda. Tabarakallah. You are beautiful.”
“Beauty also Tea Disti.”
“Eh really. By the way, you know not with this?”
The sister nodded with a smile.
“Totally?” both of Adisti's eyebrows raised.
Adinda nodded.
“Dinda still mad at Sister?”
“Om Agung called Dinda last night. Request ma’af.”.
“Oh yes?” Adisti pretended not to know.
“Kata Om Agung, he did not intend to hurt Dinda. But.. still it.”
“Why?” Adisti secretly pressed the voice note button in a chat message for her brother.
Adinda breathed a rough breath. Trying to ward off his anxiety.
“For Om the Great, Dinda is just a child who must be guarded, protected. Like the promise of Om the Great on Papa and Mama.”
“Absolutely Brother said anything yesterday?”
"As usual, Great Om doesn't say much. Just ask ma’af. That's it overnight.” phone points
“Any. Usually Brother tuh his people bring really..”
“If with his friends and family he is like that. But if you are with Dinda, Om Agung ironly talk. Like something he was thinking.”
“Means?”
“Even not Disti Tea talking to someone but the mind of that person is thinking of something else. Like half-heartedly talking to us. Her body is indeed near us but her mind and heart are somewhere else.?”
Adisti is reminded of Tiyo before the events of The Ritz with Rita Gunaldi. He's nodding.
“Teteh feel comfortable gak?”
Adisti.
“Dinda also yesterday felt like that.”
Adisti removed the microphone icon on the voice note. His voice note was sent to Agung.
“That Teteh knew, Big Brother didn't mean it that way. Last night Brother confided in us.”
“We?”
“Teteh and Brother Bram.”
“Ooh.”
“Sister has never liked the opposite sex as it is today. Brother has been interested in Dinda since you first met.”
“Friends Om Agung also said so. Which makes Dinda so misperceived with the goodness of Om Agung.”
Adisti stared confusedly at Adinda. Make him press the microphone icon to make a voice note again.
“Mistake perception how?”
“Abang Hans, Abang Indra and Kak Anton said, Dinda is his special woman Om Agung because he is able to make his world turn upside down,” Adinda pause for a moment. Reshuffled.
“Bangkan, Tea. A Adinda gets such sentences isn't it flattered? It's melting this heart, Tea. Making Dinda save hope here,” Adinda pointed to her chest.
“But yesterday afternoon's incident showed that Dinda's perception was wrong. Om Agung is only limited to caring about Dinda because of his promise to Papa and Mama.”
“But Sister does like to Dinda kok.”
Adinda shakes.
“Like Om Agung to Dinda is not like Abang Bramasta to Teh Adisti. Like Om Agung Ke Dinda it is just like the taste of Om Agung to Teh Disti. That's it.”
Adisti removed the microphone icon. Voice note sent. Then he took a deep breath while looking at Adinda's face. Adisti pressed the microphone icon again.
“How like Dinda to Sister?”
Adinda stared at the road ahead. His eyes condensed.
“Dinda never save flavor for Om Agung. The taste of a woman to a man. Dinda has never been in love before. For the first time Dinda feels in love, but in just a matter of days, Dinda must forget that feeling.”
Adisti's heart melos hear the sentences spoken Adinda. She regretted her brother's overly rigid attitude towards Adinda. Even in speaking wear me-you.
He removed the microphone icon. Voice note sent. Let her brother make his own decisions and act on his own.
Adisti hugged Adinda. Patting his back.
“Do not be too quick to make decisions when the heart is dominated by disappointment or anger. Be patient. Everything needs a process.”
She shrank her tears using the back of her hand.
