“Know where you were with the man?”, Arya broke the silence in her car that was parked neatly in front of a favorite Arya restaurant.
“Hm? Who?”, asked Dinda who was busy cleaning the scratches on Arya's arm. The wound was not deep, but the scratches were quite large and scattered.
“Arghhh...”, Arya is still moaning in pain.
“Hold a little yes, mas.”, Dinda tried to clean the wound with clean water first. They had stopped at a pharmacy because Arya did not provide P3K boxes in her car.
“Argh.”, Arya again complained of pain.
“Mau bandaged or left like this?”, asked Dinda.
He was confused what to do. The wound is too large to bandage or to be given plaster.
“Gapapa, you apply her betadine aja use cotton that earlier. The wound does not need to be closed to dry quickly.”, said Arya gave instructions to Dinda.
“Gapa? But change his shirt with a short-sleeved shirt, let's not hit the sleeves. You see, the clothes are loose, so even if folded up will still go down.”, Dinda suggested. She clearly sees Arya is uncomfortable with the shirt but refuses to open it.
“Yes, where are the clothes?”, replied Arya who finally gave up.
“Before.”, Dinda turned her body and looked for Arya's bag. He had seen there were some T-shirts inside.
“This is mas.”, Dinda said as she propped the tee shirt she had picked up. Arya raised a questionable look at Dinda.
“Help off this shirt, keep changing with a new shirt.”, Arya orders.
“Loh, I'm the one who installed. Can Arya mas can install itself?”, Dinda protest.
“How to attach it, will his hand hurt. I have said no need to change.”, replied Arya.
“Yaudah ga so.”, replied Dinda immediately changed her mind. She did not think that Arya could not change her own clothes while suggesting that.
“Lah.the shirt has been taken. Now, you take off this shirt first, I raise my hand. Slow down - slow down, but.”, said Arya directing.
“Eh? Seriously change here?”, Dinda is still confused and unsure.
“Ya. if you want to be in the bathroom can also. But the bathroom guy.”, Arya said with a smile.
“Ya yes already, where is here.”, said Dinda finally gave up.
Arya raised her hand up while grimacing. He couldn't straighten his hands completely because they were in the car. Dinda opened Arya's long-sleeved shirt while occasionally closing her eyes.
“Din.. when will it be finished if you close your eyes like that? All we have three hours here is change doang.”, protest Arya with a sigh.
Dinda stared intently at Arya who had not since when to start chattering. He took his breath once, twice, and three times before finally opening Arya's shirt.
“Aaaa.. aaa.. Arghh eshh..Ouch.pelan - slow down, Din. Don't be hunted - hunt, sick t-shirt nempel here.”, Arya grimaces like a baby while Dinda wants to immediately close the scenery in front of this.
‘Duh.. Dinda is not a good time to deg-deg-an or be fascinated. Remember, Arya still owes you an explanation.’, Dinda tried to resuscitate her mind.
Suddenly the door of their car was knocked by someone who turned out to be a restaurant security guard. Arya and Dinda are parked in the basement of this second-floor restaurant shophouse. Arya's favorite restaurant is in a row of shophouses like foodcourt. So, there are many brands of restaurants that rent this shophouse complex and this honey grilled rib restaurant is one of them.
“Please excuse me, excuse me Sir. May I ask what this is doing? Can you show me the ID?”
“Eh?”, Arya is confused to hear the security guard question to her. All ages, he's never been asked by security guards with questions like that here or anywhere.
“Ah...this is my husband changing clothes, sir. His arm was injured because it was a minor accident. Dinda who was quick to respond understood the direction of the security guard question. Maybe the security guards thought they were doing something indecent in broad daylight in the basement parking lot.
Arya who finally understood responded with half a laugh.
“Pak, this is my wife. We want to eat at the Iga Bakar restaurant in this shophouse. Anyway, I want to say - say the same my wife also choose it at home or hotel room all together. Not in a car like this, narrow.”, Arya explained.
“Good Sir. Sorry for the inconvenience. I only run the task, because there have been frequent reports coming in and happening in this basement.”
“Indeed I want to say, there - there is a security guard.”, Arya complained annoyed.
Dinda could only smile confusedly beside Arya who was still nagging.
“Now help enter the shirt.”, Arya told Dinda.
Dinda painstakingly and heartily helped Arya put on her short-sleeved t-shirt. As soon as they finished, they immediately went down to the restaurant Arya meant, Iga Bakar Honey.
This is one of his favorite foods besides seafood. Dinda just follow the direction of Arya street. They ordered some food and looked for a seat. There are several rooms available in this place. Smoking areas, free areas, and air-conditioned areas that are more private and closed. Of course, Arya chose a more private air-conditioned room.
“It looks like my question you haven't answered yet. Know where you are with that guy?”, asked Arya.
“Pak Arya also has not answered my question earlier?”, reply Dinda.
“You changed my call to ‘Pak’ again. An hour ago from getting hit earlier, the feeling you called me ‘Mas’.”, said Arya still trying to kink from the question that Dinda asked.
“...”, quiet. Dinda did not answer.
“OK. Can we answer your questions at home? I'm afraid we even fight again and do not eat Iga Burnnya. Honestly, I am very hungry. From the airport, I tipped the suitcase to a mister and immediately bring the car here.”, said Arya like memelas but still with a cool and domineering style.
“Means I will also answer the question Arya sir, later at home.”
“Can his call be changed to ‘Mas’? I thought Abis kidnapped people's children. Moreover, the security guard was knocking on the door of the car.”, Dinda a little smile. Either Arya was joking or just talking normally, but it sounded funny in Dinda's mind.
They ended up eating several portions of Iga Bakar in silence. More precisely, Arya who ate almost 5 servings of Iga Bakar. He also added to his order with some desserts like fruit ice and shaved ice.
*****
‘Dimas? What the hell is he doing here? How did he know Dinda? His gaze, it seems like he does not know that me and Dinda are married.’, Arya's bath while closing her eyes on the mattress.
*“Dinda?”, someone called Dinda from behind shortly after Arya and Dinda were close to her car. *
“Dimas?”, Dinda replied after looking back and making sure the person called.
*Arya who heard his wife's name called also looked back. *
*For the first time in more than five years, Arya is back with Dimas. Friend and shadow in his household with Sarah. No. gabe. Long before they even got married. Unbeknownst to Arya, Dimas is already the third person in his relationship with Sarah. *
*Although Arya finally found out in the last years of their S1 study, although Sarah finally chose to be with Arya, but Dimas seemed to always be among them. *
*Arya was surprised to see Dimas in the mall parking lot at the time. And what's even more surprising is that Dimas seems to know Dinda. But, it wasn't Arya by name otherwise the expert hid her shock. Same with Dimas. At that time, only Dinda did not know that Arya and Dimas already knew each other. *
*So Dimas was just curious about the man who was next to Dinda. Although it can not be said to like it, but Dimas knows that he is interested in the girl. Unexpectedly, if the man next to her was Arya. Someone who was once his best friend. *
Just like Arya, Dimas also did not want to be seen to know Arya. When Arya showed her poker face, so did Dimaspun.
*“Ah.. My car is parked there. Then, until you meet again Din.”, said Dimas after previously greeting Dinda enthusiastically. Dinda was a little confused by the attitude of the man she just knew. But his attention now more towards Arya who was injured. So, he's not too dizzy. *
Arya was already lying on the bed while Dinda was still struggling with her nightly routine in the bathroom. He was busy cleaning himself up.
‘Why can Dimas be that familiar calling Dinda? Does he know Dinda's married? Ah.. it seems from his face has not.’, actually Arya's body is tired. Office problems and the incident made it difficult for him to open his eyes. But even though it was closed, his mind was still unable to fall asleep.
On the other hand, Dinda is done with her routine and has changed clothes. He was eager to continue the conversation the other day at the apartment. After a big fight even said about the divorce, he still could not continue his conversation with Arya.
“Pak Arya... Pak Arya is asleep?”, Dinda tried to wake the man but was reluctant to just pat or shake his body to wake up.
‘Partially, what other explanation am I waiting for. Didn't Bianca say my choice was only two. Believe it or not. I chose no and filed for divorce. Who knew that after that he flew to Singapore and now made my mind forget the emotions that overflowed the other day. Ahhh confused.’, Dinda's mind frustrated itself.
Dinda threw her body in the bed.
‘Bodo ah! Don't know!’, Dinda's inner heart.
