Dimas hugged Bie and let the woman he loved in silence cry in his chest.
After Dimas' clothes got wet and Bie had calmed down a little, he started talking again.
"Bie .. I want Lo to come to Jakarta with me. I can't bear to see you alone here. Lo's content will get bigger."
Bie raised his head to look at Dimas.
"Gue doesn't want to drag Lo into my trouble."
"What do you mean?"
"If I go with Lo, it will be a question mark for people who know Lo. They will think ugly. Let me be here. I'm starting to feel right here too."
"Gue doesn't care, Bie."
"But I care. Lo my best friend. My heartache later when I hear people say Lo. I can be patient if someone wants me. But I'm not sure I'd be patient too if I heard Lo being bullied. I know Lo. The best guy I have in my life. I'll never let anyone say anything bad about Lo."
Dimas catches Bie's face with both hands and suddenly kisses his forehead, making Bie startled.
"Gue dear Lo, Bie. I won't be able to study quietly if you're here. I'll always think of you."
"What am I going to do in Jakarta?"
"Gue will contract one store for you to open a canteen or cafe. We'll find one or two people to help Lo."
"Lo thinks it's easy to open a business in Jakarta. It's a big city and it needs a big capital."
"Gue there's a stash."
"Gue can't, Dim. That's money for Lo to open his own business. Not for me."
"Gue is just Lo modalin. It'll be good for us to give two."
"Dim, I'm so grateful for all of Lo's good intentions. But this time I can't take it. Because I know, it's money for Lo to open a business that has been a dream of Lo since long ago. If I accept it, it means just as I've dashed Lo's dream.As a friend, I'll feel guilty if all of Lo's dreams run aground because of me."
"Gue can find the money later after graduation. Or ask for capital with my parents."
"Gue knew Lo could ask with Lo's parents. But Lo's dream was to open a business with Lo's savings."
Bie grabs Dimas' hand and holds it.
"Dim, the money that Lo gave when leaving yesterday is also still intact. I'll use it when I go back to college. We will achieve our dreams. Stay in college in Jakarta. I'm right here. After I was born. I would think of going to college in Jakarta or in my hometown. After graduation, you can open a business. I'll help."
"Aren't you afraid that one day your child will be able to talk and ask about his father."
"Gue hasn't thought of it yet."
Dimas turned his seat to face Bie and held both of Bie's shoulders.
"Bie .. I can be the father of Lo's son," said Dimas with a soft word. Bie takes off Dimas' hand and retreats slightly away from Dimas.
"Lo was joking" said Bie.
"No, Dim. I can't."
Dimas approached Bie and again grabbed the woman's hand.
"Bie .. It's for Lo's son. He would not ask who his father was. After marriage, you do not have to carry out your duties as my wife. We only stay in the room but we keep separating the rooms. This is all just for your child's status."
"Gue can't. It's good, even good. If anyone asks why I never fell in love with Lo. The answer is, not never. But before the taste developed, I quickly killed him. I don't want to fall in love with Lo because I don't want to lose Lo. Dim ... If we date, when we break up we will definitely become enemies and will not be able to get along again. That's what I've been avoiding. Had Lo replaced Keen's responsibilities by marrying me, and one day we cheated I was afraid Lo would have gone far and disappeared. You think as long as I'm here, I don't miss Lo. Very ... very missed." Bie paused his speech. Tears have been shedding down her cheeks.
"The Lo is always there for me. Lo always provides Lo's shoulder for me to lean on. Lo's clothes are always wet with my tears. These three months I could only cry in the room alone, it was excruciating. I want to be in Lo's arms." Dimas took Bie into his arms.
"Gue was afraid that if we fell in love with each other and one of us got hurt then we would be hostile to each other. Don't want to argue anymore. I don't want that to happen. Let us be like this. Stay my best friend. It remains the place where I share. Stay my back." The cry of Bie is breaking.
"Don't cry anymore, Bie. Seeing the tears of my heart that hurt. I'll never leave. Trust me my shoulder is always ready for where you lean. Just one of my requests, don't ever hide any of your problems again."
Long Dimas and Bie share. At lunchtime, Bie makes omelet omelet for Dimas lunch.
"Sorry, there's only eggs in my house. There is no refrigerator. Can't keep other food."
Bie put a plate of rice with side dishes just an omelet in front of Dimas.
"After this we go to the market. Buy a refrigerator and a washing machine for you."
"No need, Dim. I can still wash it myself."
"Gue would be upset if this time Lo still refused my gift."
"Dim, don't be so good. I'm used to depending on Lo."
"Gue told you, if I'm ready to be where you depend. You don't have to be shy."
"If I can't repay all of Lo's kindness, I hope God will repay her by giving always happiness to Lo."
"Now get ready. We're going to the market."
"Lo wait a minute." Bie went into the room to change his clothes.
After lunch, Bie was finally forced to follow Dimas' wishes. His best friend bought him a refrigerator, a washing machine, a fan for Bie.
Dimas chose to stay at a guesthouse. He'll be back tomorrow.
