NOT PERPETRATORS
The Journey of Love Begins

"Ghem!"

"Dad? It's ...."

Mom and Dad were looking at us.

"Di, release!"

"Om Ahmad, let me say this." Dimas took me forward, closer to my father.

"Dad? It's not what you think. I—"

"What's? What is it your father thinks?" Dad asked me.

"We're just regular friends, Dad," I said. "On! Release!"

"I'm sorry, if I'm presumptuous, Om. Right now, we are just ordinary friends. However, tomorrow, I intend to marry him," Dimas said bluntly.

Mom and Dad looked at each other.

"Dad ... really .. we have nothing to do," I said, looking down. I'm worried dad will think that I'm having an affair.

"I'm very grateful, you have loved Imania very well and sincerely" Dimas said.

"Well, it's our duty" said the father. "What do you deserve for him?"

"I ...." Dimas started to get nervous being looked at by a father that sharp.

"Deliver! That, let go of Ima's hand!"

Dimas finally let me go.

"Just kid, grab the kid you want!" reprove father.

"I'm sorry ...." Dimas looked very nervous. He was dealing with my father-in-law, not my father. My real father was even fiercer than her.

"You think you can take better care of her than we do?"

"I'm sure I can, Om!" said steady.

"I can't trust you!"

Dimas approached, then grabbed my father-in-law's hand. "Om .. I love Imania. I want to have it. I want to make her my wife. And I promise to make her happy."

"You're a doctor. Still young. Will your parents approve of your relationship?"

"I'll talk to him, later, Om!"

"Your answer is not satisfactory, Young man!"

Dad threw his hand out of Dimas. Then he said again, "Imania has suffered a lot from my son. I can't let him suffer a second time. You know, in relationships it's not enough to capitalize on love. But you have to have principles, commitment, and faith. Hearing that answer of yours, it doesn't make me at all sure!"

"Omm? I will prove my seriousness to Immania, Om!"

"Go from here!"

"Dad ...." I know Dad behaved that way because he didn't want me to pick a man wrong.

Dimas stepped out with a shunt. I know, he must be very disappointed. And when Dimas touched the doorknob. Suddenly he said again, "If you love each other, wait until Bastian officially divorces him!" father said suddenly.

Dimas immediately turned around and ran to hug my father. "Om, thank you very much, Om! Thank you for blessing us!"

Dad smiled, then let go of Dimas' embrace. "Ima, come here!"

I approached, standing next to Dimas. And my father looked at us in full search, alternating.

"You guys are compatible. But matching it is not enough! Just be careful if you hurt him. I'm gonna kill you!" said father.

"I'm not going to laugh at your trust!"

"You know, Ima's not officially divorced yet? Wait until the end of the Idah period. You guys can hook up."

Dimas looks very happy. He kissed my father-in-law's hand repeatedly.

"You must remember! There are still Ima's biological parents, who you must ask for blessing! And your parents!" dad said back.

I intend to go home to ride the motorcycle. But as I was walking out the hospital gate, someone called out to me.

"Imania!" The voice of someone calling me from inside the yellow car behind me.

I also looked towards him. "Lookie!"

"You want to go home? Come on, come home with me!"

"I ... I've booked an ojek. No, it's Ness!" reject me. I haven't ordered an ojek at all. I just want to avoid it. After all, I feel bad if Nessa keeps thinking of me as a friend. I have broken my promise to him.

"Oh, fine then. I go first, okay?"

I nodded while smiling at him. Then the yellow car passed me. I'm sorry, Ness. I can't keep my promise to you. Dimas and I loved each other.

The sound of the car horn shocked me. I looked back. I pulled over and let the car pass me. Then the car stopped in front of me. Someone got out of the car, came up to me.

"Why didn't you tell me you were going home?" tanyakanya.

"I can go home by myself. It's still noon anyway. You still have to work."

"I can get back to work after driving you home. Quick in!"

"You can't leave your job, Di. Remember that! You have a noble duty as a doctor. Many people in the hospital need immediate treatment" I warned.

"From now on, my job is not just to deal with the sick. There's a more important task than that, which is to take care of you."

I got in his car too. And Dimas drove me home to my real parents. He then returned to the hospital to perform his duties.

I went inside the house. Mom and Dad greeted me with questions.

"Ima, who brought you in?" ask mom directly.

"Oh, he .. he's my friend, ma'am."

"Why don't you go home with your husband?" tanyanya back.

Oh, I almost forgot. I haven't told them anything about my relationship with Mas Bastian.

"Mother, Mas Bastian is still in the hospital to look after his father."

Looks like mom and dad caught something wrong with me.

"Oh, huh? Mr. Ahmad is conscious of the coma, ma'am, Dad?" I'm trying to switch the conversation.

"Oh, thank God," said the happy father.

"Where is Arka?" My eyes are looking for Arka.

"He was sleeping" said the mother who was still looking at me in full search.

Realizing that, I rushed to the room to change clothes and rest.

"See, wait!" Mother's voice stopped my steps. "You haven't explained about the man who drove you!"
