Father of My Son
Bia and Dira
Flashbacks
The swing in the garden moved forward and backward. The wind blows into freshness. Bia hair that ends only until it touches the shoulder also moves. At that time he was still in the first grade of Junior High.
Dira sat beside him, equally on the swing. This is where the two usually gather and play until the afternoon arrives. This time, they kept quiet. Don't know, the relationship between them gets more complicated as the two get bigger.
"What do you mean?" Bia showed me a piece of paper that he got folded up in his book. The paper contained the letter Dira gave to Bia. Surely surprised. Especially when read, it contained an expression of Dira's feelings for Bia. He was afraid the letter was fake. Only Bia knew it was Dira's writing. Bia just wanted to make sure, one more time and ask for an explanation.
"I like you. I know this might be interfering with our friendship. It's just that if you don't like me, assume I'm still the same. I mean, I'm still your best friend. Don't stay away from me," explained Dira while stammering.
"I just broke up with Sunny" said Bia. A sentence that gives absolutely no clarity. There Dira began to panic. Bia himself stared deeply into the ground surface. There was a line made by his feet while swinging.
His heart is still not healed. He is still afraid of dating, afraid of being betrayed again by men. Because apparently, break up that sick. Until Bia does not want to eat, not good sleep. Worse, Bia could not help but cry.
Dira hush. He thought how he could explain the feeling that was always raging in his heart. She is not a woman who understands easily. More than that, they have misunderstood. "I liked you before you even said you liked Sunny" Dira said, leaving Bia stunned.
Shocked? Indeed indeed. Not just because Bia knows she and Dira are just friends. Dira had never stated this before, therefore Bia thought only Sunny the man liked her. In addition, Dira also had a girlfriend.
"You also just broke up with Mei," said Bia again.
Mei, an Asian-faced girl moves to Emertown and schools in the same Junior High with Bia and Dira. He sat in another class. Coincidentally Mei and Dira are next to each other in class. Mei herself is famously beautiful. Her face is sweet and her hair is long unravel often decorated with hair clips.
"I'm dating him because he asked. I accept it because, I'm jealous to see you and Sunny, "honestly, Dira. That's the truth.
That day when Bia suddenly came to Dira who was sitting relaxed and chatting with Ezra and Kelvin, the girl revealed the thing that hurt Dira's feelings. "Dir, Sunny and I are dating. He declared his love for me. I think I like him too."
Getting angry? Pissed off? For sure. Which man is not upset to hear his heart adore with another man. Though Dira had planned to express her feelings to Bia. She's late.
In essence, seeing Bia and Sunny holding hands almost every day, Dira ended up reckless on her own. It just so happens that Mei declares love to Dira shortly after. He accepts the girl's love in hopes of making Bia jealous.
The breakup of Bia and Sunny brought Dira back close to the sabahatnya. A closeness that makes Mei jealous and ends up deciding on Dira.
"I don't feel good about Mei." Bia rubbed his dirty trouser cloth due to the dust blown by the wind. He swallowed.
Actually, from now on, Bia has no power to withstand inner turmoil. He wants Dira, meaning like Dira, Bia also likes the man. He always waited when Dira expressed love for him. Just because Dira was always quiet, Bia thought they were just best friends.
Dira down from the swing. He moved, sitting facing each other with Bia. "Don't you like me?" ask Dira.
"i like. Since childhood we were together because I liked it," replied Bia.
"Just like?" This time, Dira's eyes wailed in Bia's veins.
Lekas Bia. His heart was pounding so hard that his body was trembling. "I love you too. I'm just afraid people will say what."
"You care more about other people than I do?"
Bia looking up. Now Dira's gaze was so soft and desperate. "I love you" replied Bia.
"me too. Too bad. That's why don't reject me. I've been patient for a long time waiting for you to be mine." Dira holds Bia's hand.
Slowly everyone is silent. Bia was surprised to feel the touch of Dira's warm lips on her cheek. "You want to be my girlfriend, Drabia Azura Louis?" dira Pinta.
Not knowing why, Bia just nodded.
