NOT PERPETRATORS
The Hardest Reason Dimas

Working hours are over. My body is getting limp. I didn't do any work today. The documents are still stacked neatly on my desk. None of which I've checked. That's because I haven't been able to concentrate on work.

My head still hurts. In fact, it's getting sicker. Moreover, think about the words of the secretary Ve earlier. (Episode 145)

"Dimas won't let anyone bother you. Doctor Vanessa paid them all to hurt you. Including the egg toss that afternoon. Dimas told me."

"Imania, Dimas loves you very much. Whoever bothers you, he'll keep her away from you. Indeed, without you knowing, Dimas always insisted on taking care of you, Immania. He's very serious about making you happy."

Oh ... My head hurts so much. But I have to go home. I took my bag and took my body to my feet. Dizziness. It's so dizzy. With irregular steps, I walked out of the office.

Arriving in front of the gate, I stopped my steps, standing by the side of the road.

"Imania!" someone in front of the coffee shop.

"Rudi."

Rudi approached me.

"Imania, you look very pale."

"What are you doing here?" many wonder.

"I'm waiting for you, Imania."

"Waiting me?"

Rudi nodded while smiling. "Come, let me take you home."

I looked at the parking lot. Ve's secretary car is still there. I'm afraid he's waiting for me. So, I took the phone out of the bag and sent him a message.

[Sir Ve, I'm going home first, huh?]

After the message was sent, I put my phone back in my bag.

"Come, Rud," I asked.

We got in the car too. Rudi started the car, drove me home. In the car, Rudi glanced at me many times.

"What's up, Rud?" many wonder.

"Your face is not as fresh as usual."

I smiled faintly in response to him.

"But you're still beautiful" she said.

"Smart combing, basic!" I said with a weak tone.

"Imania, did you cry? Your eyes are swollen."

I don't know how many people have guessed me.

"I'm just a little tired."

"Imania, how is your relationship with Dimas? Are you guys all right?"

Why did Rudi ask that again? I don't want to talk about it.

"We broke up."

Suddenly Rudi braked suddenly his car. And it hit my head forward.

"Imania, sorry ... does it hurt?"

Rudi looked panicked. He grabbed my head and rubbed my banged forehead.

"I'm okay, Rud?" I said with a smile looking at Rudi's panic.

"Oh, sorry ...." Rudi immediately removed his hand from my forehead.

"Imania, was what I just heard right?" the one who looked at me was surprised.

I nodded weakly at him. While Rudi displayed a different expression to me. The smile on his face was expanding.

"Imania, I'm so happy" said Rudi with a happy face.

I don't know what the smile on Rudi's face means. The moment I felt tightness as a result of the end of my relationship with Dimas. Precisely Rudi greeted him with a happy mimic that emanated so clearly.

"That means .. there's still a chance for me."

The opportunity? What was Rudi thinking? Does he like me? I thought he didn't really want me all this time. I knew Rudi was interested in me, I realized that. However, I did not expect at all, that Rudi really wanted me.

Rudi immediately noticed my sad face, which was looking at him in wonder.

"Ma-sorry .. I .. I don't mean to be happy in your grief. I ... I ...."

I put a faint smile on my face, then said, "It's okay, Rud. I'm trying to forget it. I'll leave my story with Dimas."

"Imania, I should have understood your feelings. But honestly .. I'm so happy to hear that you guys broke up. That's because ... because .. I .. I ...." Rudi stopped his words.

"I like you, Imania," continued Rudi.

I felt surprised by the courage of Rudi who said her feelings towards me so quickly. Yes, for me this is too rushed. In fact, I don't know him much further. After all, I don't have any feelings for Rudi.

"Imania, I like you" he said, looking at me seriously.

"Rud—"

"You don't have to rush to give me an answer. Anyway, you're sad right now. I'll wait for you until you like me too."

I can't say anything more. I just love Dimas. In fact, until now I still love him. How could I love Rudi. That must be hard.

Rudi restarted the car, then drove me home immediately.

***

"Let me down here, Rud," I said as I arrived at the gate of my house.

Rudi and I got out of the car. And just as I was about to step up, suddenly my head was throbbing, my vision started to feel blurred.

"Imania!"

Rudi immediately caught my body that was about to fall.

"Let me walk in" said Rudi.

Rudi opened the gate and led me in. I staggered, my vision blurred, but I had to be strong.

Buk up!

I was surprised by the sudden appearance of someone running towards us and hitting Rudi.

"Dimas!" my sergeant.

Since when did he come? I swept a glance and found a black car parked in front of my house. Due to dizziness, I did not notice that Dimas was waiting for me.

"Release Nia!"

Rudi also took his hand off my arm. Then hold her cheek for a moment.

"Why? What's your business? You guys broke up, didn't you? So, just accept your fate, Dimas," said Rudi.

Dimas immediately banned Rudi's shirt collar. "Don't take advantage of the situation, Rud. And don't try to get close to Nia!"

Rudi smiled grinning. "Diema ... Dimas. You're too greedy. Come on, marry Nessa. And let Imania marry me."

Buk up!

Dimas again threw a punch to Rudi's face. Rudi also returned Dimas's punch. One hard punch landed onto Dimas' face. When Dimas was about to hit again, I prevented him.

"Stop!" weak yell.

However, Dimas ignored me. He again beat Rudi furiously.

"Dimas, stop!" yell again.

When Dimas was about to throw another punch, Rudi immediately held Dimas' hand. "Didn't you hear? Imania asked you to stop hitting me!"

Dimas also stopped. Still with emotions filling him. He said to Rudi, "Quick get out of here! Before I rush to finish your life!"

"I'm not scared at all. Just finish me off. To make Immania more convinced, that you are not the right man to be with her!"

"Dimas, go!" throw me out while holding my aching head.

Dimas turned his eyes to me. "Nia, are you sick? You're so pale."

"Not to worry. I'm fine."

Fania and Arka suddenly walked out the door of the house. Fania stared in surprise at what she saw in front of the house. He looked at us with wide eyes. I immediately signaled to Fania to bring Arka in. And Fania understood, they went back in and closed the door.

"Nia, come on in. Let me make you a prescription medicine. You don't look very good. Have you not eaten yet?" dimas's excursion with attentive gaze.

"He's sick because of you. If he continues to be with you, it will further interfere with his health. So, let me make her happy" said Rudi while wiping the blood that poured from the corner of his lips using his hand.

"Be quiet, berengs*k!"

Dimas again growled and clenched his hand. Jaw hardens. That look looked very scary. As if to swallow Rudi alive.

"Enough, Dimas! I'm tired of understanding you! Please out!" drive me out while pointing at the gate.

Dimas suddenly knocked himself down, resting at my feet and begging, "Give me a chance, Nia. Please."

I have to stick to my decision. "Regend! It's free you're squabbling. It won't change my decision!"

"Nia, I love you so much. I can do anything for you. But to leave Nessa. I can't."

"Go!" throw me out while holding back the water that pooled in my eyes.

"What do I do to make you understand?"

"Do I not understand?"

"More." Dimas grabbed my finger. Kissed her many times. "I love you. I'm gonna marry you. We've fought each other, Nia. I have been waiting for you for ten years. It wasn't a short time. I ... I can't accept your decision."

Rudi who was standing next to me was staring at us unmoved. He took a few steps back from us. It seemed like Rudi understood that he had to let both of us.

Dimas clasped my fingers tighter. "I couldn't sleep all night. I'm thinking about you, Nia. I am tormented by your decision. Come back to me, Nia."

"For what else, Di!"

"To continue our plan. Didn't we promise to fight each other?"

"I've fought enough, Di! What else do you want to ask me?"

"I didn't ask for anything. Just hang with me, Nia."

Kuraih Dimas' shoulder, asked him to stand up. Now we face each other. I put my finger on his shoulder. I looked at his eagle eyes. "In, that's enough. We've gone too far. I feel ridiculous about myself. I feel ... that I have been wrong. I'm like an actor. Take you from Nessa."

Tears that keep sliding down my cheeks. "In, I realized, I was the one who was wrong. I want to end this."

"That's just your excuse, to keep me away!" dimas said with eyes that were getting wet.

"No. I've been thinking about it all day. My decision is round. After all, I am just a widow. I don't deserve to be with you. And ... one more. Your father doesn't like me. Our relationship is too complicated. I'm giving up."

Dimas looked at me laughing. "Since when have you been this weak? Is it only so far as your strength? Where was Niaku who had promised and committed to me to fight? Where are you always ready for all the tests? Where is that great and formidable Niaku?!"

"Enough, Di. Nessa is your fiancee. Marry Nessa. I'll erase you soon."

Dimas gave a small laugh, but his eagle eyes let out tears. "Nia, you want to hear something from me?" He put both his hands on my cheeks.

"Are you curious enough as to what I've been up to for not leaving Nessa?"

I looked at him flinch. But my tears kept flowing. I looked at the wet face of the man in front of my eyes.

"Let me say!" Dimas lowered his head while taking his breath in. Then raised her face, looked back at me sharply, and said, "Nessa has heart disease!"

I was so surprised to hear that. "W-What did you just say ...."

"lisss ... Nessa ...." Dimas took his breath many times before saying it more clearly to me. "Nessa has heart disease. And his age won't be long. Are you satisfied with my answer now?!"

How surprised I was to hear Dimas's statement. Nessa ... Nessa has heart disease? She ... Is it true that her age will not be long? I still hear Dimas's words. My legs are getting limp for me to stand.

Dimas took his hand off my face. I was sobbing more and more at the horrible statement from Dimas' lips. He quickly got up and left in his car.
