I'm Not Dora (Makes You Sorry)
ABD ~ 15
After learning the real identity of her adopted daughter, Aryo finds a way to persuade Dinda to make up and forget all the actions her family did.
But the thorn that stuck in Dinda's heart will not be healed with an apology. The days that Dinda went through since adoption became so bleak and there was no day without humiliation that the name DORA was attached to her life, just because her Dora-like appearance made her a laughing stock, but all that was not Dinda's desire, I was the mastermind of all the humiliation that Dinda got, just because she did not want the presence of Dinda in her family. What is wrong and what is his sin, Dinda never asked to be adopted by Aryo, but why is it still cool to adopt if finally only become an abandoned child.
Apologizing does not mean forgetting all the mistakes Kusuma made, Dinda does not want to waste the opportunity to teach her adoptive parents a lesson, how terrible it is that they have wasted an orphan who really wants the love of parents even if they are foster parents.
Aryo invites Dinda to come home for dinner. Dinda happily came to meet the invitation from the father, no matter the mother and her sister hated him, Dinda does not want to forget the services of her adoptive parents who have raised her even without sincere love.
When he reached the yard, Dinda found a silver car that he knew was parked in the yard of Aryo's house." Isn't this Mr. Zack's car, why is it here?" mummified Dinda.
"Son Dinda's here!" sapa Aryo, who surprised Dinda to aghast while being serious about the arrival of Zack in the Aryo family.
"Pa. I'm sorry I'm a little late." Dinda answered while handing over some papers as a hand to Aryo.
"Dear papa, come on in, your mama's cooked a lot for you." Bring Aryo
"Who's car is pa?" dinda asked as she pointed towards the parked car.
"That's Zack's car. Alira's boyfriend. "
"Boyfriend!!!" Dinda was really surprised, it turns out that the man Alira meant was Zack, while Zack was the man he had been betrothed to. A grin was etched on Dinda's face, when she got the idea to prank her already evil sister.
Dinda follows Aryo inside and as she heads towards the dining table, Zack is shocked by Dinda's arrival, seen from her expression standing up as she watches Dinda enter.
"Cristal... Why is he here?" muttered Zack, Dinda gave a sharp look as if she wanted to intimidate Zack.
Without further ado, Dinda sat next to Zack who was supposed to be Alira.
"Why are you sitting there, there are still many empty seats why sit next to Zack." Alira said loudly, as she drove Dinda away
"I'm sorry. I think I can sit anywhere." Dinda got up and wanted to move but was prevented from Aryo.
"You just sit there, don't papa, don't mind your sister Alira." Prevent Aryo from moving.
"But Alira!" refute Alira
"Alira, you sit on an empty chair, let your brother sit where he wants." Aryo ordered. By stomping his feet Alira towards the empty seat and letting Dinda win over him.
"Alira, be more mature, he's your brother, you should be more polite." Tegur Kusuma to his daughter and it was also the first time Dinda heard her adoptive mother defend herself from her beloved daughter.
"So Cristal lived and raised by the Aryo family. But what causes it until Dinda becomes unkempt, Dinda should be more well-groomed because she lives with a rich family but the reality is very inversely proportional, what exactly happened to Cristal that was hidden behind her appearance first. Never mind, maybe what happened was a reason, the most important thing now Cristal can live better and the happiness on his face is so radiated with clarity." Zack muttered that he was wondering about Dinda's life with the Aryo family.
At dinner Dinda only eat vegetables, she is not interested at all with side dishes provided by Kusuma.
"Are you on a diet?" ask Zack.
"No." replied Dinda while shaking her head.
Zack took a slice of meat and gave it to Dinda, "Open your mouth." Zack directs the piece of meat to the front of Dinda's mouth, initially hesitant, because of Zack Dinda's insistence to open his mouth and take a bribe from Zack.
The sight was witnessed by Alira, making her heart really hot and wanted to get angry, but could not because Aryo threatened her with a sharp gaze towards her daughter.
Dinda's face reddened in shame with Zack's attitude, but on the other hand Dinda was also satisfied to see Alira jealous.
After dinner, Zack offers to drive home. At first Dinda refused, but when Zack said he wanted to talk important things together and Aryo asked Dinda to take Zack home, forcing Dinda to agree and go home with Zack.
Halfway through Zack stopped his vehicle and pulled over on the side of the road.
"Lo sir why stop, we're not there yet!" dinda Protest.
"Yes, I wanted to stop and have a serious conversation with you. Only now is the right time for me to talk to you." Zack pulls Dinda's left hand with the exact same ring as his.
"See this! do you know what this means." said Zack when he put the two rings together. Dinda looked at the two rings and then looked at Zack's face.
"We are united by our parents, to be one bond." Said Dinda stammered.
"Yes you're right, we've been in a match since you were in the womb and when I was born. Our parents wish we could get married. And just so you know, for years I stayed away from women and never opened my heart, just because I wanted to keep my word by waiting for you, so now what's your decision, what, once you know everything. No need to answer now, I'm still giving you time to think about it." Zack.
"What mom and dad did by setting me up with you, it's probably the best decision and I'll do what mom and dad want before they die by marrying you, but not now, give me time. There's still something I want to finish." replied Dinda.
"Well, I'll marry you next month right on your birthday. You've agreed to marry me, which means you're ready whenever I ask you."
"But not in a hurry either."
"It was a decision and I insisted, don't protest anymore" Zack replied, not giving Dinda the chance to answer again.
"What is the point of being given time to think that he has decided himself. I've misjudged apparently, men who have a cold attitude like Mr. Zack can't possibly change." Dinda grumbled all the way home.
