Chick Intern And Duda Cool
Chapter 61 Drunk

Arya drove her car out of the office area. He was already unconcerned about the few meetings he had to attend this afternoon. He also doesn't care about his lunch. He just wanted to get away from that place and tried to eliminate all the information he had already accidentally.

‘Dimes. What did that jerk say? Getting pregnant? Sarah's? Jerk’, Arya repeatedly slammed and hit the steering wheel when stopped at a red light. The overcast weather, lightning, and finally the rain seemed to represent his current feelings.

Arya drove without direction. He just thought of going straight. Arya's phone has rung several times since. Call from Dinda. He saw it for a moment and ignored it. Arya banged her head against the back of the chair several times, ruffled her hair, and hit the steering wheel firmly. Some people even scolded him for the sound of a horn being heard.

The clock shows at 7 p.m. Long Arya drove her car until she finally saw a 4-star hotel in front of her. A big advertisement of the opening of a new bar inside the hotel caught his attention until he immediately turned the car into the hotel.

In times like these, there is no better friend than alcohol. The drink he had been away from for several months was calling him back. Without a second thought, Arya immediately went down and handed the car keys to the valet. Once inside the hotel door, he took off one of his collar buttons.

“Where?’, he asked a hotel attendant who greeted him at the front door.

“At there, Sir. Let me take between.”, the hotel clerk told Arya and guided her to go deeper.

The bar, which according to the billboard in front of the new open, was on the second floor but had to go through a different escalator. Around the escalator, there were several small palm trees planted.

Once the escalator had brought them to the 2nd floor, the bar was clearly visible to the left. Great bar for a 4 star hotel. There are several round table tables in the middle, a sofa on the edge and of course some chairs in front of the bartender who is busy stirring drinks.

“OK. I can do it myself.”, Arya orders to the hotel clerk. He hinted for the officer who guided him to leave because he already knew his place.

As soon as he arrived, Arya immediately took off the suit she was wearing and placed it on the chair next to her. He ordered one of the two bartenders there to get him a drink.

The bartender looked at Arya as if asking what kind of drink she wanted. Arya pointed at the bottle of Whiskey that was on the back shelf of the bartender. He swings his hand to a row of Whiskey bottles to ascertain which one Arya wants to order. C

As soon as Arya signaled a stop, the Bartender immediately took the bottle of Whiskey she pointed at and poured it into the glass filled with ice then gave it to Arya. Arya's phone still vibrates. The owner of the phone did not want to pick it up. He ignored the ringing of the phone at all.

Not until 10 minutes, Arya again called the bartender and hinted to fill the empty bottle. This time, Arya took 20 minutes to advance to the next glass.

When he arrived, the bar contained about 10 people. A pair of men and women on the roundtable table, 4 people on the left sofa, and 2 people on the backmost sofa, while 2 more were in front of the bartender.

Over time the number of visitors reduced and currently only 2 people remain. A couple of lovers in the round table. Arya had already gotten into the fourth glass of her whiskey when the pair finally decided to leave the bar.

“Excuse me, Sir. Just remind me that in an hour we'll be closed. It is now 9 pm.”, said the bartender in front of him.

Arya was already very drunk to say the words of the bartender. Instead of answering, he then asked for the next glass.

“Sorry, Sir. It seems like you are very drunk. Would you like to be taken to the room, Father? Or someone picked up?”, the bartender was still trying to get Arya to talk.

“Let's just one more glass why the hell? Still 1 hour left right?”, Arya snapped at the bartender. The man had no choice but to get another glass for Arya.

After that, he gave a code to another friend to call their manager. This man was very drunk but there was no sign of anyone picking him up.

*****

“Din, Where's Arya? Not home yet, huh?”, Inggit knocked on Dinda's room who had come home from 6 pm this afternoon. Inggit was confused because Arya did not come home and there was no news from him at all.

“Maybe there's a meeting at the office, Ma. You see, Arya just came home from office yesterday. Maybe still riweh about that.”, said Dinda trying to calm Inggit.

Dinda is actually a little worried, because in the office, some colleagues say that many people are looking for Arya. He didn't show up at 3 o'clock and 4 o'clock meetings with different divisions.

Surprisingly, Siska, his secretary did not know where his boss was. Erickpun asked all his subordinates if they saw Arya. But, no one saw Arya.

Apparently, the last person to see Arya in the office was Dinda. But Dinda didn't want to say it. Dinda was also confused to explain, she was afraid of asking a lot of questions, and even though she saw it, it didn't help either.

“Hm. He does come home often at night. But since marrying you, he always said that there is an urgent in the office and must be overtime. Why didn't he say tonight, yeah.”

“Try later Dinda call ya, ma. Mama sleeps first. Let Dinda wait, yes.”, said Dinda advised Inggit to sleep first.

“Alright then. Mama, drop it, yeah. Later if for example already or not, you wake up mama aja, yes.”, Dinda replied with a nod.

‘Actually what was the matter, Mr Arya until hit the man? They already know each other? If you think about it again, the meeting at the Mall, their expressions are also strange. At that time I focused on Mr. Arya, so it was not so attention.’

‘Ah.. I have to tell mama how, huh? I better wait another hour.’, thought Dinda inwardly. He also from earlier could only go back and forth in front of the mattress. Arya's been home all night, but with today's events, Dinda can't stop worrying.

Soon his phone rang. Call from Arya.

‘Ah, finally.’, so thought Dinda. The relief slowly made him calmer.

“Halo... Aryan mas? Where is Arya? From earlier I called...”, Dinda continued to blur questions without listening to the response of the person opposite her.

“Halo..sorry this is with his wife Father, Arya Pradana?”, Dinda feels very foreign to the voice of the man across there. She's confused. Suddenly the feeling of relief changed back to anxiety.

“Iya.. Sorry who is this with? Why can my husband's phone be with you?”, asked Dinda to the point.

“Please excuse Mom. Mr. Arya Pradana drinks at Bar ‘Late Night’, Hotel Y. Our bar has just opened, so it is still not operating at its maximum and about 1 hour to close. We have tried to communicate with the hotel and it looks like Mr. Arya did not book a room. Is it okay to help, Mom to pick up?”, explained the man who is the manager of the Hotel bar.

“Drink?”, Dinda still can't understand the situation clearly.

“Iya Ma'am.. Mr. Arya drank almost 8 glasses of Whiskey and seemed to have drunk heavily. We can't ask either. We tried pressing the 1 button on his phone and it turns out it says ‘Istri’ Mr. Arya. Please help, Mom. We can only wait until 11 pm.”, the hotel explained.

“...”, Dinda still can't say - words. About 30 seconds, he was just speechless and confused as to how. The clock shows at 9:10 p.m. Inggit and Kuswan had just gone to bed. He was also unlikely to tell the truth out of fear and had never faced a situation like this before.

“Ya already, Sir. May be informed of the address. I am heading there now.”, replied Dinda. The manager of the hotel told him his address and Dinda quickly changed clothes.

He came out of the room and slowly went down the stairs. Some of the lights in the house have been extinguished. Andin and her two children are not home. Ibas was also staying at his friend's house.

Dinda finds Bi Rumi still in the kitchen. The new Bi Rumi would open her voice greeting Dinda and asking but Dinda immediately gave the code to be silent.

“Bi, I'm going out. Aunty shut the door, yes.”, said Dinda.

“Where are you night - night, Non?”, said Dinda.

“Aibi don't tell mama, yes. I'm going to pick up Arya, she's at the Y.” hotel

“Ngapain non pick up. Den Arya can go home alone?”, they talk in whispers.

“Mas Arya drunk, Bi. Aunty don't tell Mama and Papa, yeah. Plis, if mama finds out..”, said Dinda begging.

Bi Rumi closed her mouth hearing Dinda's words. Bi Rumi had been working in this house for a long time. She has also been a witness to the furore Arya made before marrying Dinda a few months ago. Bi Rumi knew very well what would happen if Inggit and Kuswan knew Arya was drunk again.

“But, non. Hotel Y is far away. Non go on what ride? Aunty call Mr. Cecep, yes.”

“Do not, Bi. Later if Mr. Cecep starts the car, mom and dad must wake up. Auntie is calm. I ordered a safe taxi. But in front of the alley. Aunty closed the door slowly, yeah. If my mom asks, I'm sleeping. Trus said that tomorrow I had left early in the morning, yes Bi.”, Dinda told her aunt her plans so that Inggit and Kuswan did not know what Arya was doing tonight.

Not just because of Arya, but Dinda is more worried about Inggit and Kuswan.

**EPILOGUE**

“Mama why?”, asked Kuswan to his wife who settles silently - quietly to the front porch.

“Mama want to change settings hape Arya. Dial number 1 is still his ex-wife. Mama's gonna change to Dinda. All mama change her name to ‘Iwiku’. Married time name on the phone only ‘Dinda’ aja.”, said Inggit who managed to take Arya's personal phone from his bag.

Coincidentally, the owner is still busy receiving calls from his only phone that is specifically for business in the office.

“There is, this mama. Dial 1 was supposed to be Dinda, his wife now Dinda. Anyway mama has changed.”, replied Inggit while returning the phone back to its place.
