Monday, a new day for office workers to return from the dream world and get into the reality of life looking for funan. Arya and Dinda are no exception. The two spent a nice vacation at Dinda's house last weekend. They even invited Ratna and Arga to dinner outside. Although Ratna initially refused, but eventually she also collapsed.
Arya is ready with her shirt. Arya more often wears a shirt and a thin suit in the office. He hardly ever wears a tie except on important occasions only. Today, he wears a white shirt and a dark blue suit with after pencil material pants and pantofel shoes.
Arya had a meeting this morning at the client's place, so she wouldn't go to the office except just to deliver Dinda. The girl was also ready first and was busy in the kitchen with Bi Rumi. I don't know what the event is but the girl's back and forth from the morning.
“Where are your holidays? Mama had hunted to sleep last night, tired of accompanying aunt Beautiful hunting for wedding needs yesterday.”, said Inggit who was taking a kettle of carrot juice.
Today Dinda especially helped Bi Rumi to prepare breakfast. Only the light ones, such as juice and sandwiches, while the rest are still prepared by Bi Rumi. When it comes to this house as Arya's wife, Inggit has said that Dinda does not need to bother with the affairs in the kitchen because there is already Bi Rumi.
But if Dinda wants to cook, Inggit never forbid it either.
“Seru ma's. Arya has also started to be familiar with Arga.”, Arya replied while plucking a sandwich made by Dinda from the kitchen table. Arya doesn't drink juice. He was about to ask Bi Rumi to make some coffee.
“Mas Arya, today drink juice, yes. Don't keep coffee.”, ask Dinda on Arya.
The man always had coffee every morning and forgot his breakfast. Dinda was worried that the incident happened again.
“Let me mules Din in the office.”
“Engga, trust deh mas.”, Dinda still trying to persuade Arya even though the man has 1001 reasons.
Dinda tries to give attention - positive attention to Arya. At least their relationship had reached the stage where once in a while Arya would listen to Dinda despite the majority, the man was more domineering in ruling her.
Dinda realized, Arya was still smoking, occasionally drinking drinks that are not allowed, and did not care about her meal hours. Dinda was thinking hard, how could she make the man improve his workaholic lifestyle.
Lazily, Arya stuffed a small glass of juice into her mouth. Dinda also knows how to make this guy feel less forced. Dinda purposely prepares a small glass first before slowly delivering it with a larger glass.
“I'm packing-in some more sandwiches huh, mas. Let it be later if hungry can be eaten.”, Arya just nodded. Previously he refused because he said later it would be lunch with clients outside. But Dinda still insisted that the man bring his sandwich. Maybe later he could pluck it whenever he was hungry.
“Ratna healthy?”, Inggit asked Arya.
“Sound mother. Last Saturday, he ordered a lot of food. But his Sunday Dinda had already asked him to rest.”
“Wah.. until now the catering order is still selling well. Thank God then.”, Kuswan also participated in their morning chat.
“Ohiya Arya, how are you doing in your office? The new division head already exists?”, Kuswan asked Arya.
Although the distance was relatively far away, Dinda could hear Kuswan's question. Actually, Dinda was also curious, is the head of the Digital and Development division already there? Although Dinda actually also did not expect to be honest with her relationship with Arya to the people in the office, but sometimes she also became confused when it comes to hiding her status.
Arya gave the code to her papa to continue the conversation outside. Kuswan glanced at Dinda for a bit and followed Arya to the terrace of the house.
“Why? You haven't told Dinda?”, Kuswan immediately shot Arya with the question to the point.
“HRD promotes Arya to rise to office. Arya was asked to take the reins as the senior Head for Business and Partner in charge of all the teams, a total of 10 teams. Each team will have their own manager. At the same time they also offer Arya to take a digital and development head position. So those two divisions will be under Arya.”
“Oh nice it.”
“Papa know, if I was Head of Dinda Division now, Dinda would not be able to continue her internal career.”
“Ah yes right. Papa forgot. Is it true that no one can replace the head of Digital and Development? Didn't you say it was a new division, huh?”
“Well that's her pa. Yesterday Arya asked them to reconsider. And they'll inform Arya in two weeks. No, means it's now a week left.”
“Hopefully someone can replace. You didn't say Dinda?”
“I don't want Dinda to be burdened with this problem. He seems to be very enthusiastic about his current job. If I tell you, he will definitely ask to resign.”, said Arya.
“Ge er you. Indeed Dinda is already that much love with you?”, teased Kuswan.
“Heh.. papa, can be. Yes already, Arya left first yes, pa.”
“Ohiya, papa knows, you shouldn't ask - ask this question. If you're offended, papa apologized. Do you have any plans to have children?”
Arya was silent for a moment. Arya was always unprepared for anyone to ask her this kind of question.
“Mama you told papa everything. About your problems with Sarah. And papa's answer is the same as my mom's. You never test. It might just be common sense - Sarah's wits alone.”
“Arya hope so, pa.”
“So, you have plans to have children?”, asked Kuswan again.
“Depends Dinda, pa. He will be with the seed for months. If Arya alone says ‘iya’, it doesn't feel fair to Dinda.”
“Papa sure he wants.”
“But maybe not yet, pa. Arya and Sarah's problems still haven't settled. Dinda is also too young.”, replied Arya again.
“Everything you want to finish with Sarah? Didn't your divorce solve everything? You don't make papa angry again dong, Arya.”
“This question we will discuss later yes, pa. Although papa asked Arya now, Arya also did not have the answer.”, said Arya.
******
“So, you have plans to have children?”, asked Kuswan again.
“Depends Dinda, pa. He will be with the seed for months. If Arya alone says ‘iya’, it doesn't feel fair to Dinda.”
“Papa sure he wants.”
“But maybe not yet, pa. Arya and Sarah's problems still haven't settled. Dinda is also too young.”, replied Arya again.
“Everything you want to finish with Sarah? Didn't your divorce solve everything? You don't make papa angry again dong, Arya.”
“This question we will discuss later yes, pa. Although papa asked Arya now, Arya also did not have the answer.”, said Arya.
Dinda was walking towards the office. Arya had just dropped it off at the usual place. Along the way, Dinda thought about Arya's conversation with her father, whom Dinda accidentally heard.
‘Actually mas Arya considers me what the hell? All his treatment with me lately, why is it so inversely proportional to his words earlier? What else does he want to finish with Sarah? Why always ‘Sarah’, ‘Sarah’, and ‘Sarah’. What exactly does the woman mean in the heart of Arya?’, Dinda does not pay attention to her path at all, her mind drifted in speculation - speculation that she made herself.
“Dinda!”, a man pulls Dinda's arm strong when there is a motor that passes when the green light is on.
Dinda surprised. His daydreams were broken and his mind was awakened.
“Why are you?”, Dimas, the man who greeted him earlier held tightly to Dinda's arms, looked at the girl late and asked?
“You are almost wretched!.”, he said.
“Oh? Oh, sorry!”, Dinda immediately let go of Dimas' hand grip on his arm.
“You have a problem?”, asked Dimas in a lower tone than before. Honestly he was shocked when Dinda almost got hit, so he accidentally raised his tone.
Dinda shakes.
“No. Thank ye. Excuse me.”, as soon as he saw the red light back on, Dinda immediately walked over and left Dimas just like that. Dimas breathed. He looks disappointed. She could only follow Dinda from behind as she was also heading towards the same building.
Meanwhile in a place not far from the crossing area earlier, someone seemed to be muttering.
“Dinda? The dinda? So, the name of the girl who met at the Mall at the time was Dinda? Is this just a coincidence or is it really Dinda, wife of Arya?”, said the woman who turned out to be Sarah.
He was about to return the items Dimas left behind when they had breakfast together this morning. Sarah's been working on an office project and a couple of meetings at the Mall yesterday. He was waiting for the mall to open and chose to take Dimas to breakfast together. Not long ago, Sarah found out that Dimas and Arya's offices were in the same building.
Sarah is no longer able to contact Arya because every time she is contacted, the man must have turned off his phone. Even if he was raised, he always refused to meet.
“Interesting. Do I need to see him once?”, said Sarah who undoes her intention to return Dimas's belongings now. In addition to the time of the meeting is near, he also wants to be better prepared. Who knows, he could meet Arya too.
‘But, if the girl who was Arya's wife, why did she walk to the office? Wait, are they also in the office? But in one building not necessarily work in the same office. Hm.. I became more curious.”, Sarah said in her heart.
*****
“Din, you sure gapapa?”, Dimas decided to chase after Dinda in the lobby.
“Engga, I gapapa, really. Sorry I have to go straight to the top.”, replied Dinda trying to avoid Dimas.
“I know you are married to Arya.”, said Dimas honestly.
Dinda's eyes were round hearing it. How'd he know?
“Please sound you.”, said Dinda looking around.
“Now you want to take the time for us to talk?”, said Dimas offering.
“What to talk about. I don't know you. We just accidentally met, I accidentally spilled coffee, and I've changed your shirt. Then?”, Dinda was confused, why does this man continue to invite her to speak together.
“Are we not friends? You greeted me kindly at the mall the other day. Is that not considered a friend? Why now you say you don't know me.”, asked Dimas.
“Hah. Yes.just an office worker who knows with the cafe owner below. Not more. Just as I smiled with the receptionist or the bakery owner who was there.”, Dinda sighed for a while, she felt frustrated having to explain this to Dimas.
“Means we know each other, right? I just want to be friends, nothing more. Especially now that I know your secret.”
“As far as you are Dimas, want you to say to everyone also I do not care.”
Dimas smiled. The answer was exactly as expected.
“How about Sarah? You're not curious about him? I'm sure even now Arya still thinks of Sarah?”
Deg
Dimas got Dinda's weakness very precisely. The girl flinched a little.
“I have an office job to complete. Sorry, excuse me.”, said Dinda passed from where she stood to the elevator.
Along the way, Dinda could not escape the thoughts - the thoughts again. The presence of Dimas just adds to the tangle of speculation - speculation.
“Hah. I better ask for an explanation from Arya mas about what she said this morning.”, Dinda decided to focus and forget about the problem.
*****
Dinda's office is busy today. More precisely their boss, Mr. Erick who from this morning has been back and forth meeting here and there. This time did not involve Arya, because from earlier Dinda did not see him in the room or anywhere.
Dinda even deliberately passed through his room to the pantry, even though the distance was even further away. But, there was no movement from there. Someone from the Business and Partners team even asked Dinda if she was looking for Arya. Dinda looked too much looking for the man. Sure, they think there's a signature Dinda might need. Dinda replied not awkwardly.
Dinda also does not feel good sending messages to Arya at work hours unless really there is a need. But, this time Dinda wanted to break the rules she made herself. In the pantry near the coffee machine area, Dinda types a message on Arya.
To: Brother Ojol
Arya not going to the office?
Short, solid, and clear. That was the message he sent to Arya. Not until a few seconds, Arya replied to the message. Unusual thing about that guy.
From: Brother Ojol
Wh why? You kangen?
Dinda read it with a smile, though initially felt Arya was gr-gr-ness.
To: Brother Ojol
Notwithstanding. Who told? Mas Arya was meeting outside until what time?
Dinda asked herself. Usually he raises this question when it is past the hour to go home, but Arya has not yet appeared. This time, Arya did not directly reply to him. Dinda waited for a few minutes, but Arya did not reply. Dinda immediately concluded that the man may be busy and has continued to meet again.
‘Ehm.. mas name Arya on my phone is still ‘Abang Ojol’, do I change it, yes? Shouldn't have said a name wouldn't have been anything. Anyway even if I write Arya mas, indeed they can immediately think this is Mr. Arya. After all, they never checked my phone. Hm.. I changed so what?’, Dinda put her head up looking at the sky - the pantry sky, as if the sky - the sky will give her an answer.
‘Hm.. but..’, Dinda again remembered the problem she was thinking about this morning. He was confused by his own feelings.
Before long, someone broke into the pantry. Bryyan. The man was holding his tumblr. Looks like he wants to make coffee.
“Ngapain you here? All at the bottom.”, asked Bryan to Dinda.
Dinda herself, deliberately did not go with the others down because their goal was a cafe owned by Dimas. Dinda was avoiding the man.
“You alone?”, Dinda asked back. He also wondered why Bryan had not joined them.
“My credit card is frozen. So I only rely on my salary this month.”, replied Bryan flatly. Believe me, it was his face. It's just that this guy is not expressive.
Actually, this is one reason. Another reason he didn't want to join them was that, if Dinda didn't join, they would talk about it. They are now happy to talk about people who are not with them. Especially the famous Andra has a lot of intel.
“Why?”. Actually Dinda did not need to ask, but she became curious.
“I got caught sebat.”, said Bryan.
“Only because of that? Didn't you say you used to go to nightclubs? It wasn't caught?”
“Yes yes that too. I got caught whipping, drinking, and into the nightclub by papa. He usually doesn't handle things like this. I'm confused as to why he's extending this now. He was never what. Hah.. make people upset only.”, grumbled Bryan. He became a reflex to confide in Dinda.
‘If I could block Arya's credit card as well. Haha.where can I, my credit card guy is just from him. People like Bryan don't dwell if their credit cards don't exist. Then how should I make Arya mas reduce or not even touch cigarettes anymore, yes?’, Dinda engrossed in thinking alone.
“Din, you are still dating Arya?” sir, suddenly Bryan asked a question that made him panic.
“You can not do it anyway, do not say it carelessly?”
“You're not that kind of woman, are you?”, asked Bryan.
“Hm? What kind of woman?”
“You walking with Mr. Arya alone has made me feel strange. How did the others see it?You know that you have been labeled a girl is not good by Andra and his friends?”, said Bryan.
“I'm not that kind of woman.”
“Keep, what is your relationship with Dimas? Men cafe owners below?”
“I have nothing to do with him. Hm. I can't explain right now. Complicated. Clearly, I'm not the woman you think I am.”
“You look like there's a relationship. I saw you guys downstairs.”
“Ah..he just helped me. Not more. Never mind, I'm going back to the chair. I don't like the smell of the coffee you're making. What coffee is that? How does it smell bad?”
“Hm? This is the usual coffee here. It never seems to change. There may be something wrong with your nose.”, said Bryan astonished.
Dinda closed her nose and immediately came out of the pantry. He felt very uncomfortable with the smell of coffee brought by Bryan.
