Since her meeting some time ago with Rima, Dika still can't forget her. Back then, he had no choice but to swallow the whole round reality in front of him because Rima forced him to. Dika also did not think clearly at that time.
During their first meeting, ‘Married’ was just a status she heard. She did not yet know that the consequence was, Rima had a husband and children. During these two days, he thought deeply about all the words - Rima said to him.
Dika suddenly felt curious about who Rima married. If the age of her child is similar to the age of Dika's child, the distance of Rima's marriage with her should not be so far away. But, 10 years ago, he still remembered how their farewell impression was. Not good - good.
Then, how could Rima get to know a new person so quickly and decide to get married? Unless Rima cheated on him behind her. It is more impossible because to Dika's knowledge, Rima is very persistent with her academic value.
He did not hesitate to spend a long time in the library to study. So, where Rima could have time to cheat while to meet her alone was already hard to find time.
‘Does her husband also work as a doctor?’, Dika keeps asking questions in his heart.
“You're not going to the office? Will you not be fired if you continue?”, asked Rianti to Dika who is still loyal in his study.
“What's wrong with you lately?”, asked Dika confused by the attitude of Rianti who suddenly changed.
He's been home more often these two days. What makes him even more shocked, the woman who holds the status as his wife also routinely asks her how she is. Unusual things from a Rianti.
“How about arriving - arriving I decided to be a good wife?”, said Rianti.
Dika laughed widely as a reflex response from him hearing the statement from his wife.
“Do not do things you never do. Just take care of your business and I'll take care of mine. Hah.. I used to still want to be at home, but you make me want to go to the office.”, said Dika.

“Excuse me, I want to ask. Did dr. Rima there is a practice shift today?”, asked Dika to one of the administrative officers.
“Sorry, what do you need?”, the officer asked.
“Hem.. I just want my child's health control.”, Dika replied.
“What age are you? Coincidentally dr. Rima only handles obgyn parts. For pediatricians, we will refer you to a pediatrician. Have you ever been in control at this hospital?”, asked the officer.
‘Ah.. I've guessed. It's hard to get information here. Hem.. I tried to find another officer.’, Dika thought in his heart.
Dika walk - walk to the area around the practice room dr. Rhymes. He did not enter and just sat among the many people who were waiting in line there. Dika saw there was a janitor and could probably be the right informant for him.
“Excuse me, I did not see dr. Rhymes today. Where are you?”, asked Dika Basi - stale.
The janitor looked confused.
“Ah.. I am a friend, my wife happened to be inside to do an examination, I went to the toilet first. We would rather check with dr. Rima but can not queue.”, he said making up stories.
“Oh. yes.. Many people want to control their pregnancy with dr. Rhymes. The guy's very friendly. It just so happens that today is not practice. Why don't you call her right away?”, the janitor asked in surprise.
“I'd like to give you a surprise, ha-ha. Hm.. husband of doctor Rima, if not wrong doctor here also yes?”, without bases Dika trying to find information before this officer feels suspicious of him.
“Hm? Husband? As far as I know, Dr. Rima is still alone. Aaah, but he already has a son. I'm not very clear on the details. Afraid of mispronouncement.”, the janitor realized he had slipped into speech.
As a result, he seemed confused how to pull back his words.
“dr.Rima is still alone?”, asked Dika again to make sure.
“Sorry, I'm sorry. I still have a lot to do. Come, Mr.”, he said while carrying his hardware away.
‘Still alone? Rima is not married? Why did he say he was married? I also never asked who and what her husband's profession was. If I try to see him, does he still want to see me?’, said Dika asked - asked inwardly while walking out of the hospital.
‘Or do I just follow it? Aah. since when did you become a stalker, Dikaa.’
When Dika argued with his own mind, at that time also the person he was waiting for - waiting to arrive - suddenly appeared not how far from his car in the parking lot.
“Rima?”
Dika got out of his car and called Rima. He stood in front of her and held her arm.
“Hey, I really didn't expect to see you here. How are you?”, asked Dika as if they had not met for several weeks.
Their last meeting was just a few days.
“Dika? What business are you here?”, asked Rima surprised to see the man in front of her.
To be honest, Rima also had a hard time forgetting the impression of their last meeting some time ago. He hoped that by acting like that, Dika stopped seeing him. But he was wrong. The man now sees her again.
“Meet you.”, says Dika to the point.
“You're not working? Shouldn't you be at the office?”
“I want to talk to you. Can I ask you for a minute?”
“Speaking about what? Dika, come on. I told you, I'm glad to see you back. But that's just it. Not more. We have each other's lives. I hope you understand that.”
“Life each? What if that life wasn't the life I wanted?”
“Then, find the life you want. Not keep coming at me like this.”
“What if the life I want is you?”
“What?”, Rima did not believe what she had heard.
“Dika. Be careful when you speak. You have a wife and children at home. Do not spread the line of ashes on our relationship.”, Rima released Dika's handrails and returned to walk forward.
“At last you talked about our relationship.”, Dika came back after him and stopped the steps of the woman.
“You're not married, are you? You claimed to be married just to make me back off. Yes, right?”
Dika released her handrails.
“Good. At least the answer I wanted I found today. I will return to find another answer.”, Dika said before finally letting Rima go.

‘Interesting once their relationship. Things I never expected from a Dika Sadewa. When he met me, he didn't tell me much about any other woman in his life except Rianti. But, look. Ha-has. So that woman took you away from me.’, Sarah said as she looked at the portrait she took this morning in the hospital parking lot.
“Hai, have you been waiting?”, asked Dimas who just came to Sarah.
“No. Have you been busy lately? Even to meet once - once was already very difficult. Is opening a new branch again?”, asked Sarah while looking - see the food menu.
“No, just some personal affairs. What did you call me here?”, asked Dimas.
“No. Just need a friend to chat.”, replied Sarah.
“How Arya is related to that woman, you are in the same building as them. You must have seen them a lot, right.”
“Sarah, stop. Why do you pay attention to their relationship. Go on with your life, don't keep hanging with Arya. He's forgotten you.”
“Good. I won't ask you again. Saying Aryan's name will only make us quarrel. I just want to spend more time with you tonight.”
“My reason for accepting your invitation to meet only one. I want to ask you about your date.”, Dimas said with a serious face.
“Who? Dika, you mean?”, asked Sarah.
“Do you have another date?”, asked Dimas.
“Hm.. depends. Ha-ha's. What's with him?”
“You're sure you don't know why you went to the same company as Arya?”
“Heh.. still that question. Yeah, I don't know. I also wonder why he got into the same company as Arya. I have asked him many times. But he never answered me seriously.”, explained Sarah.
“Good. Let's just say I believe you. Now I want to ask. So, why do you think he wants to be close to Arya?”
“Entah, maybe he was just wondering what kind of person named Arya I used to tell him. They had met before too. Dika is like that. He was curious about the man near me. But, maybe now the situation can be different.”
“What do you mean?”, asked Dimas astonished.
“Hm.. It looks like Dika already has a new toy.”
“Sarah, answer me. What do you mean?”, asked Dimas.
“Stop curious. You can't do anything to take Dinda. Why did I tell you this important information. Importantly, he was already not interested in Arya. I guarantee that. He won't bother Arya anymore.”, Sarah says.
‘But, I'll use it to bring Arya back to me. The man must be awakened. He has been drunk for too long.’, Sarah replied inwardly while giving a sly smile.

“Darling, have you gone home? How is it today? Tired, huh?”, Inggit greeted Dinda as usual on the porch of the house.
He's got a message that Arya will be home in time today. So Inggit deliberately waited in front of the house.
“Arya, often - often dong come home on time like this. Don't keep night. Masa, his wife had slept well just returned home. Later your child forgets you, what his papa face is like.”, continued Inggit again.
“Mama is there - only. The baby will not forget, Ma. The handsome face of his papa wants where else to find it. But, could you ma. You see, Arya had heard the story of Arya's friend whose own wife forgot that she had kissed her husband somewhere. Until guessed her husband cheated on another woman because she forgot.”, said Arya intends to tease Dinda.
“Eh? What do you mean, Arya?”, asked Inggit confused.
“He-he.. Don't listen to ma. Mas Arya was weird because she was busy all day. In that case, Dinda went up first to take a shower huh, ma.”, said Dinda while hugging Inggit for a bit.
“Pa, Dinda ride first yes.”
“Iya, Din's. Heart - heart rise.”, reply Kuswan.
“Only Dinda will pay attention to us. Aryans? He play nice to enter, do not use greetings here and there.”, comments Kuswan who is still faithful to read his newspaper.
“The name is also Arya, pa. 9-door refrigerator. Need a lot of water to melt.”, replied Inggit.
“Dinda's membership is fine - okay? Papa has not had time to ask - ask because they are busy once.”
“Those who are busy or papa who is busy golfing with friends - papa friends?”
“This you, could have diverted the question.”, Kuswan re-turned to his newspaper.
“Good - fine, pa. Healthy everything. It's just the gender that hasn't been discovered yet. Looks like he is embarrassed.”, said Inggit giving the tea that Bi Rumi had just brought to Kuswan.
“Gender doesn't matter. What matters is that her child is healthy. Arya has more responsibility. Imagine how far he has gone in a better direction now. Papa almost regretted not following my mother's advice to match Arya with Dinda.”
“Tab.. Ha-has.. Mama was also amazed by the ability of her mother to look up. If you remember - remember the first time you met Dinda at Ratna's house. I fell in love at first sight. The bringing of Dinda is very different from the others. At first she was also afraid that Arya refused and made Dinda unhappy. Finally...mama can now breathe a sigh of relief seeing both.”.
“Papa heard from Ibas, mom met with Sarah in the hospital?”, asked Kuswan.
“Papa? Hm.. Ibas. Mama told you not to say it, still.”, Inggit greget.
“Papa the forcing. After coming home from the hospital at that time, my expression was different. Mama doesn't have to worry. Papa will not be affected by Sarah's presence. From the beginning, I knew that Sarah was not a good woman. Papa is sure, Arya is smart enough to know that. Seeing Arya has renovated her apartment, papa is sure Arya has really erased the woman from her life.”
“Hopefully the woman does not disturb Aryan's life anymore. We've given him a chance to bless their relationship before. But, he actually made Arya almost fall into the wrong path.”
“Already, papa brought up the name again. Be careful, papa doesn't want Dinda to hear this talk. We should no longer mention - mention the name of the woman in this house.”, said Kuswan firmly.
