Chick Intern And Duda Cool
Chapter 88 Haunted by the Past

Dimas, this man was still standing in front of the stop after Dinda left him just a moment ago. He was very curious about Dinda and Arya's relationship. This is the third time she's stolen a hearing from Dinda's office friends about her. To be more precise, today he stole the listen, while earlier he had accidentally heard it.

‘Sh*t. I just remembered. Didn't Sarah ever say that Arya was married again? And Dinda? Wait. Arya's driver drove Dinda home. No.. Don’t say that. Fu*k. I need to call Sarah now.’\, Dimas thought hard. He has a relaxed personality so that he can easily forget things that are considered unimportant.

According to him, the fact that Arya married again is not important. But what if the woman Arya marries is Dinda? This new woman caught his attention?

“Halo, Sarah?”, say hello Dimas.

“Why? Any problem?”, Ask Sarah. Instead of answering Dimas' greeting, Sarah immediately to the point asked. He could already feel Dimas' non-relaxing tone.

“Did you ever say Arya was married?”, asked Dimas to confirm her memory.

“Yes. I said it.”, replied Sarah.

“With whom?”, asked Dimas again.

“Why did you arrive - suddenly want to know? I never knew if you were interested in her life.”, asked Sarah in wonder. As Sarah knows, Dimas was never interested in Aryan's life. The only thing that keeps them connected is when Sarah and Dimas have an affair.

“Jawab only. Who's Arya's wife now?”

“I don't know, I've never met him before. I only know her name from Edo, cousin of Arya.”, Dimas's tone was not relaxed so it made Sarah also answer in a similar tone.

“Yes. What's his name?”, asked Dimas again.

“For what do you want to know his name?”, asked Sarah astonished.

“Just call what his name is?”, asked Dimas again, this time with a little emphasis.

“Dinda. I don't know his full name, Edo just said that to me.”

“Sh*t..”, Dimas said feeling frustrated.

“What's up? Do you know him? Hello.”, Sarah is still talking but Dimas did not answer. He turned off his phone.

‘Hahaha.. Very amusing. Why I like the same woman. Why else would I like his. Dam **.’, Dimas said in his heart. He cursed himself who seemed to go into the same hole.

7 Years ago. 

“Why? You are afraid that Arya will find out?”, Dimas told Sarah. It had been a few days that Dimas had not returned to his flat. More precisely flat herself and Arya. At the beginning of college, Arya and Dimas were roommates. However, this week Dimas more often stay in Sarah's flat which is now a different apartment building. 

“Didn't you move apartments because you don't want our relationship to be known to Arya?”, Dimas told Sarah. He was smoking a cigarette on the porch of the apartment after spending an umpteenth night in Sarah's apartment. 

“When are you back in college? Do you want to waste your life?”, Sarah asked Dimas. 

The man had been out of college for a week. He didn't even touch the book at all. All he did was go to the bar, smoke a cigarette, and go home drunk to Sarah's flat. 

“What made you interested in Arya?”, Tanya Dimas.   

“Why did you switch the conversation. I asked when you would be back on campus. You've been like this for a week.”, asked Sarah to approach Dimas who was standing to spend some more suction of his cigarettes. 

“I will be back if you answer my question.”, Dimas said. 

“Good. Arya is the perfect guy. He was born into a perfect family. Not like me and you.” 

“What is your family? Isn't your mother rich?”, said Dimas chuckling. The cigarette is over and I want to take another one. But Sarah prevented it. 

“My mom is rich. My step dad is far more rich. That's why he has no power at all. Even when I was almost harassed by that monster, he couldn't defend me at all.”, Sarah said. 

“Arya like a real fairy tale. When I was with him, I forgot everything. It was like I was entering the same world as him. Although I now regret introducing her to drinks, cigarettes, and club.”, Sarah smiled faintly considering the first time she invited Arya to a drink at a bar a few blocks from her flat area. 

“Haha... You remember when we met?”, asked Dimas arrived - suddenly opened another topic. 

“Of course. If you weren't there at the time, I don't know what would have happened to me.” Sarah said. 

Sarah saw the sad look of Dimas. 

“Why? Did you regret helping me back then?”, Sarah asked. 

“No, I was just thinking, if it wasn't me helping you but someone else, would you look at me like you see Arya?”, Dimas asked. 

“If you didn't help me then. If my dad doesn't report you to the police. If only the police hadn't undressed you. Will anyone know that bruise on your body?.”

“I can't imagine how many blows you've received from your father until your body is full of bruises like that.”, Sarah wipes away her tears. 

“Arya, has she expressed her feelings for you?”, asked Dimas. 

“Did he tell you that he wanted to express his feelings to me?”, sarah's slightly dim face as she recalled the beginning of her meeting with Dimas while sitting on the High School bench brightened when she heard that Arya might soon express her feelings for him. 

Dimas shrugged his shoulders and immediately picked up his jacket. Dimas walked towards the door. Looks like he wants to leave. 

“You want to go home? So when to campus again?”, asks Sarah. 

“Next week I will return to campus.”, cried Dimas as he passed. She soon disappears from behind Sarah's flat door. 

‘Why should you like it, Sarah? I was the one who met you first. Heh, why does that man have to have everything. ***.’, Dimas said in his heart. He felt it was unfair to him.*

He met Sarah first. She was with Sarah during her High School days. He knows Sarah better. But why should Sarah choose Arya over her.

“Arya, you have prepared some necessary documents?”, asked a man, one of the important position holders in the company whose position is one level above Arya.

“Iya sir, I've prepared. Siska, the documents please separate yes, so later when you have a meeting with the client, you immediately remove it. Our client immediately presents the leader, the Thai. He most dislikes waiting let alone waiting for us to find a file to sign.”, Arya orders Siska.

They'll be meeting in about 30 minutes. Arya brought Siska and one team man with two people from management who are one level above Arya. This client is very important because the project is of great value.

Actually Arya had avoided meeting at the bar because she would definitely be offered a drink. Since marrying Dinda, Arya as much as possible directs several meetings to take place in the office, hotel, or cafe. Bars and clubs are places he avoids a lot.

But today, Arya was late in organizing it because of the other busyness. He also just realized that this meeting was held at the bar this afternoon. There is no time to change its place, especially with the character of their clients.

“I'm sorry to go to the toilet first.”, Arya said to others. They let Arya in and went into the room first. There are still about 15 minutes left before the client arrives.

After finishing her needs in the toilet, Arya washed her hands, made sure her clothes were tidy, and walked out. He glanced at the clock for a while and there were still 10 minutes left. Once out of the toilet door, Arya accidentally hit someone.

“Oh sorry, I do not senga.”, how shocked Arya when she realized that the person she hit was Sarah, her ex-wife. Arya quickly returned the look of her face to make it look ordinary.

Both silent. Arya immediately wanted to leave from there before anything else poisoned her mind. But, somehow he couldn't move his body. A bit of a sense came in when they saw Sarah again after the last time they had a big fight at the hotel at the time. How strongly Arya controls her feelings, discarding all existing memories of Sarah, but honestly she still can't completely erase them all.6 more years together they are. How can Arya erase everything.

Arya recalled Dimas' words the other day. The pain went back to his heart. He could not interpret his feelings at this moment. He should hate that woman.

“Arya.. “, Sarah has not finished her sentence when a phone ring resuscitated Arya. Arya immediately picked up her mobile phone.

“Pak Arya, another 5 minutes his client is coming.”, Siska said. 

“Iya, I am there now.”, Arya replied. 

“You have a meeting here?”, Ask Sarah.

“Hm. I go.”, Arya replied passed. Sarah held Arya's arm.

“I don't feel like I have anything else to talk about with you.”, Arya replied, taking off Sarah's handrails and leaving.

Arya returned to the private room that had been rented for the meeting this time. Although initially the client gave some additional questions before the signature, Arya and her team were able to answer those questions with a satisfactory explanation. They managed to get this project.

“Come drink.”, the client told Arya. Their boss was gone when he finished signing the papers. Now, the rest of his subordinates alone.

Of course, Arya rejected him subtly. After what she did that night to Dinda, Arya promises to never touch the drink again. Even if it's for work. After all, Arya also wanted to return home because the meeting was over

“Sorry. I do not drink.”, said Arya refused politely.

Siska, and the few people who knew Arya were astonished. Arya had never once refused before. It's no secret that some people have seen Arya at clubs and drinking with women.

“Oh came on.. just one cup.”, Arya already wants to leave but the person still forced.

“I’m so sorry. But, I just can’t. I need to drive.”, Arya said.

“Okay, then you go with this one.”, said someone from the client offer.

“This is without alcohol. Believe me.”, said the man.

Though hesitant, Arya drank it. From the taste, Arya could not tell whether it was alcohol or not. It tastes like fruit. So, Arya just believe it. Arya even drank about 5 glasses.

“You said this is without alcohol.”, Arya said. The first glass, he didn't feel anything. The second, third glass, he also still felt ordinary. But now Aryan's head had started to weigh heavily. Although she could still control it, but if Arya did not come out of this room immediately, this man in front of her would definitely ask her to drink again.

“Sorry, tomorrow we have another meeting. So, I have to come back soon.”, said Arya as polite as possible. If he followed his ego, he had already beaten this person up because he had already lied to him. They have already got the contract. But Arya didn't want to make a fuss.

“Siska, we're back. Sir, we still have a meeting tomorrow. So we need to get back home now.”, said Arya. He also could not bear if Siska remained here. Arya also saved Siska several times so as not to drink the available drinks.

Arya and Siska managed to get out while one manager from his team and his boss and several people from the client continued.

“There are many yes Mr. Arya. I don't know how to turn it down.”, Siska told Arya as soon as they got outside the bar.

“Hm.. You bring a car? You didn't drink at all, did you?”

“Yes, not Sir.”, Siska replied.

“Good. Be careful.”, Arya told Siska.

“Pak Arya how? Looks like you're a little drunk. Do I order a taxi online?”, said Siska offers.

“No need. I sat for a while in the mini market. I call the driver only.”, replied Arya.

“Good. Then excuse me, sir.”, replied Siska goodbye to the parking lot.

Arya immediately walked out of the bar. His head was a little heavy but he was still able to walk normally.

“Sh*t. Why don't I recognize the drink. The client fooled me.”, Arya cursed the stupidity of herself that could - usually be deceived by her clients.

‘If I go home like this, can papa and Dinda will be drama again. I better sit for a while in the mini market ahead.’, Arya said in her heart.

“Arya, you are drunk?”, someone arrived - suddenly approached Arya.

“Sarah?”, ask Arya make sure.

“I can take you home. I also had a meeting here and I didn't drink anything. I brought a car here.”, Sarah offers.

“I can go home by myself. Just finish your business here.”, said Arya release the handrails Sarah.

“You're drunk. You can't drive. My business is done. I'm going home too. What's wrong with me driving you. I also will not do anything - what.”, said Sarah.

Arya rubbed her head a little.

“I'm fine - fine. It’s just a little shot.”

“Arya, can we just stay friends?”, said Sarah arrived - arrived because Arya continues to reject it.

“WE CAN’T”, shouted Arya. She was fed up with all the pain Sarah had given her.

“Why don't you go to Dimas and stay friends with him. You even have a child together behind me and you still want to stay friends? *ARE YOU FUKING INSANE?**”, Whether the influence of alcohol or not but Arya really can not control herself. He raised his voice and made several pairs of eyes there look towards them.

She is fed up with Sarah's attitude back after three years and behaves as if nothing had happened. Even he had never been honest with Arya and made the man feel guilty for these three years.

“Arya, what the he*l are you talking about? Child?”, Ask Sarah.

“I've heard everything from Dimas. Don't pretend. I’ve my own life now. STAY AWAY FROM ME, please!.”, Arya replied firmly. He took off Sarah's handrails once more violently and left.

Sarah was silent in her place.

“Pak Arya where is Rick?”, asked Rini to Erick who was still seen tidying up his desk.

“He has a meeting this afternoon with a new client. Wh why? Need her signature?”, Tanya Erick. The table was clean and he was ready to go home.

Rini nodded.

“Must be today.”, replied Rini later with an unpleasant expression. Erick already knew that Rini wanted to ask Erick for help.

“You don't feel outrageous? I have tidied up my desk and your facial expression says I should catch up with Arya?”, Erick said. He felt Rini never considered him as his superior. Maybe because of the age of those who are not far adrift.

“I beg. Even if I can catch up with Mr. Arya, I don't know how to ask for his signature when it's like this.” said Rini.

Even though Rini was only one level below Erick, but still he was still as afraid as the others if he had to face Arya. Especially if you ask for an autograph when he is meeting with a client.

“I promise something like this won't happen again. I completely forgot to check if Mr. Arya is in the office at this hour or not. I guess she has no meeting.”, Rini even clenched her palms together to plead with Erick.

“Good. You have to pay for my gas and buy me lunch.”, Erick said, taking the file in Rini's hands.

Rini nodded happily.

Erick knew where Arya was meeting because they had a chat this afternoon. Erick went straight to the basement to get his car. Before driving, Erick tries to call Arya to make sure she's still there.

“Halo, Arya? You're still at Bar Z?”, Tanya Erick.

“Hm.”, Arya replied briefly. His head hurts a little.

“Oh okay.. Really sorry. Can you wait there for a minute? I have a document to sign - because it has to be submitted tonight before 12 p.m. Is it okay?”, asked Erick heart-heartedly. Although he was good friends with Arya, but requests like this were still very difficult.

“I'm in the mini market opposite it. A client set me up and I'm drunk right now. I can't drive. I signed it, but you drove me home.”, said Arya.

Arya wanted to call Mr. Cecep, but it was the same that he would wake Kuswan up and could cause drama. He better have Erick drive him to the front alley and Bi Rumi can open the door slowly.

Arya believes Dinda may have been sleeping.

“Okay. Deal!”, Erick replied quickly before the lion across the phone changed his mind. It doesn't matter that he has to come home late today, the important thing is that this document can be submitted on time.
