Marriage of Debt Relay
*Chapter 14

Although Dinda probably won't be able to accept him well. But at least, he had already shown that he could change even though it was too late. But it's better than nothing.

"I know you definitely don't like me now, Dinda. Or, maybe that dislike has now turned into hate for me, right? Because the old me, so bad I can't be helped anymore."

So far, Dinda has been quiet. There was nothing he wanted to say to Ilya. Therefore, Ilya went back on with her words.

"However, before the accident happened, I was aware of everything. I realized everything I've done is a bad thing. Then, I want to correct myself so as not to constantly fall into a black valley that has no direction. That's when I met Diana."

Diana's name immediately caught Dinda's attention. Although he did not want to comment, but curiosity about who Diana really made Dinda have to say words. I don't know because of what? But, what was clear was that his heart felt uncomfortable when Ilya said that name.

"Diana?"

The small response just now made Ilya a little excited to continue what he wanted to convey. Therefore, he tried harder to make Dinda confident and believe if he could turn out to be the best even with the imperfections he has today.

"Yes, Diana. You remember that girl who came to our house a while ago, right?"

The question immediately made the water face unpleasant to be seen clearly on Dinda's face. Although Dinda tried to hide it so well that Ilya did not see it.

"Of course I remember. The woman who came, then got angry at me and also mbok Yah. That said you wouldn't marry a woman who doesn't look like a face ... Diana." - Diana." Dinda looked at Ilya's face.

"Diana that .... "

Not yet Dinda finished what he wanted to say, Ilya immediately cut Dinda's words quickly. "Diana is the sister of the girl. The girl's name is Diani, Dinda."

"W-w-why did you explain it to me? Isn't that not important to me?" Dinda spoke while throwing her face to the side. Looks like, the attempt to look okay a little messy aka failed.

"Well .. maybe to you it doesn't matter, Dinda. But for me, it's very important. Because I want you to know my past story clearly. Without any interference from others that might add to the bad story of my life that is already bad."

"Yes but that's not important, Brother Ilya. I am this ...."

"You're my wife. Although you do not consider me to be a full husband, we are still a legal married couple, also legal in the eyes of religion. Therefore, I want you to know clearly everything. So that there will be no discomfort between us."

Dinda speechless. There were no words he could say at this moment. His tongue felt heavy for him to move. Said the wife Ilya said, as if issuing a radiance of tranquility that warms the heart. For some reason, he felt a little comfortable with that word. Although the next word made him feel a little sad and there was a sense of guilt. Therefore, he did not know what to say other than to be silent with a serious gaze looking towards Ilya.

Ilya then told me everything she had been through with Diana. The story is very detailed until Dinda herself does not know what to interrupt. All you can do is be quiet and be a good listener.

"That's the story, Din. I accidentally said that I only wanted to marry a woman who looked like Diana when Diana's funeral was over. But, some time passed, I became convinced that I did not just want to marry the face of the person. Except, I want a good man. As good as Diana."

"But .. then I realized again. Actually, I don't love Diana. Wanting to be together with Diana was just my obsession to change. Because she came after I changed, therefore I want to marry her as proof if I really just change."

Dinda can only look at it for listening to Ilya's story which immediately makes it cause a lot of taste. I don't know, on the one hand, he was upset about Ilya who he still stamped as a playboy. But on the other hand, he could feel the seriousness of Ilya's story just now.

Dinda suddenly confused what to say. Because his heart still did not clearly understand the story of Ilya. Either he deliberately does not want to understand the story, or maybe because he has not found a bright spot that can make him feel understood. But clearly, his heart still could not trust Ilya completely.

"Minda."

"Well! Iy-yes." Dinda was shocked by the call of the line. Before, he was busy with his own thoughts. He ignored Ilya who was clearly his interlocutor right now.

While Ilya, because Dinda kept silent, she immediately called out while touching Dinda's hand which happened to be on the table. Because the call was accompanied by a touch it certainly made Dinda immediately surprised and immediately caused a feeling of nervousness instantly.

"What do you think? How was that surprised when I called?"

"Eh, Ilya, no. I didn't think anything. He ... was listening to your story I just had." Dinda spoke while grinning badly.

"Hear my story, or think about what I'm telling you?"

"E ... Both are the same."

"Not the same, Adinda Manohara. Listening, you will immediately respond when I finish telling you. But when you think, you are busy with what you think alone. Complete with your own opinion of what I'm telling you. For example, like you did just now. When I called, you just responded with a startled response like me suddenly coming from behind when you focus on something that makes you forget the world around."

The long explanation made Dinda immediately silent because he did not know what to say. And the only thing he could do right now was, grin the horse because what Ilya said made him really unable to think well.

The response that Dinda gave instead made Ilya feel jubilant about the wife's face. He just shook his head slowly. Then, don't forget he showed her a special little smile.

"Hm .. You're this, Din. Sometimes, I feel that you are the little girl that you chose for me. But sometimes you change. Turned into someone I myself felt less inclined to reach you."
