Dhapne shouted his name, his one hand waving at him.
Dria's instincts begin to alarm that Dhapne knows a man who is similar to someone, due to the present gaze of the eyes as well as the way he stared with his head slightly tilted there was a Reginald's body stance that was deeply attached to his memory.
He once hated the man so much, someone he labeled as ‘a jerk’ has no heart, who lied to him with all sorts of sweet promises.
“Sandriana... It's Egi, we happened to meet here..”.
Dria who was fixated for a moment, immediately recovered after hearing Dhapne's words, and decided what kind of behavior she would be.
He will not and will not be carried away by the feelings of the past and then cry again in front of Egi, enough his tears never stop at that time, when he tells Egi about his condition, and his tears never stop, when he later found out Egi moved to school in B city, when he left the house of Egi's relatives in B city followed by a look of hatred from Egi's parents. Now, the wound in the heart is just a scar, and for what to look at someone who has ever incised a wound.
Now this is not something important, do not need to know anymore and do not need to establish a relationship anymore, despite the fact that Egi became a regular visitor cafe. It’s not a big deal, want to continue visiting this place or want to stop has no effect on Dria.
Dria nodded her head naturally to return Dhapne's sweet smile and took a step to leave the place as it felt like she had been quite friendly before this to Dhapne.
A group of mothers and now more because there are men and children among them come from the direction of the store, including Ivanka who walked quickly to Dria.
“Dria..”.
The voice of Ivanka's call prevents Dria from continuing her steps. His attention was on Ivanka and he did not look at Dhapne for a second, let alone the man. He had already decided to erase everything about the man and now he did not want to get carried away by the flow of past lives that tried to pull him away.
It was a long time ago when he managed to rise up with an acceptance of himself, opening himself up to another stage in his life. Slowly he managed to gain confidence and return to being a jolly Dria figure, he did not want to return in that time, in the darkest period of his life.
“It turns out this place belongs to you..”
“Ahh.. Yes..”.
Dria smiled again after a moment of her stubbornness had been dazed.
“You are successful now... young age already have a business of this size..”.
“Ah that...my brother who gives capital and set up a lot of things about running this business, I just forward it...”.
His instincts said he needed to give a little explanation, he remembered Tety's story of negative things about her. Now the rampant issue is somehow true either not that there is a young girl who became a sugar baby businessman and became a tyrant because of it. Enough of her self is told which is not good, so it's okay to tell a little about her.
Especially here is the ex, the jerk who turned out to have been watching him for quite a long time. Slowly Dria connected the collection of memories that Egi had seen often in this place, and Egi's gaze on him was not a stranger's gaze, Egi looked at him because Egi had known who he was.
“Kakak? Aren't you an only child?”
“Ah?? Did I never tell you about my brother who's in J city?”
“For a while Dria... oh yeah I remember, the photo in your wallet with your mom right?”
“Iya... Iva..”.
“Oh so? Looks like your brother is a rich man.’.
Dria caught a doubtful tone in Ivanka's voice.
“Kakku has a decent business in the country, he owns Mega Buana..”.
“Oooh yes???”
Ivanka's expression shows she knows about Mega Buana.
“I know someone who works at that company..It's worth it that you can build a place as good as this..”.
Dria complained a little in her heart, she felt guilty as if making a proclamation of who she was. Only now did she paint her brother's name for his sake and only now did she slightly boast about what her brother had.
Suddenly Dria felt she needed her brother to be here, she started to feel uncomfortable from meeting someone.
“You want to go home now?”
Dria wants to end the conversation with Ivanka immediately.
“Iya... we have been here since this place was opened... now it is afternoon..”.
“Is that? I hope you guys missed a great time here..”.
“Iya this place is amazing Dria.. I will definitely come again, mmh I plan to make my son's birthday here. Dria, may not request a discount..”
“Hehe... may be.. but do not all ask for discount yes, later I lose... hahaha..”.
“If the owner gave me I did not refuse... hehe..”.
“Ah maybe you are a member only, there are many offers and benefits given to members, only provide a minimum payment receipt of one hundred and fifty thousand rupiahs can apply for member creation, member card is active immediately.”.
“Oh... alright... I'll take care of it later..”.
“Good Iva, I stay yes, if there is an event you should reserve a place first... Tell me later yes?”
Dria's eyes were on the five-year-old boy holding Ivanka's hand. Dria reached into her pocket, every time she went around in the cafe she always prepared some chocolate there. Dria gave a chocolate bar to the little boy and smiled at the happy reaction of the boy, and then Dria left the group.
“Thank you Dria..”
Ivankan's voice rang out behind him but Dria did not turn her head anymore. He felt enough to have served Ivanka with her hospitality. Ivanka and the rest of the group then boarded their cars.
All of Dria's behavior is watched unblinkingly by Egi, a sense of sadness ambushes her. Dria's gaze told her that she had recognized him, and Dria's uncaring attitude made her sad and a little disappointed. But as if he could understand this, there was no way someone who had been hurt and made to crumble like Dria would be as friendly to him.
“Gi? He doesn't recognize you?”
Dhapne asked Egi who was still staring at the back of Dria's body away.
“Gi?”
“He knows who I am.. therefore he does not want to see me.”
‘Gi... which I remember.. Dria at that time... mmh what is the fetus in the womb she maintains? Ivanka mentioned earlier Dria was in her class.. You two are in class too right? Means she's stuck one year in High School, Ivanka one year under us.”.
Dhapne does know a lot about their past, and Dhapne's description of Dria's condition further adds to Egi's strong belief that there is a child of both of them in this world.
The impulse immediately makes Egi step after Dria. Dria was not heading for the store but in the other direction. Egi has a tall body and long steps can follow Dria in a few steps.
“Yes... Yes..”
A voice like coming from the past, again greeted his ears in the same way. A word derived from the pronunciation of a syllable from its name.
“Ya..”
The voice is now beside him. Egi caught up with him, and continued to follow even though Dria did not answer. When Dria saw her house, she did not want Egi to know it was her place of residence then Dria turned to a building unit where the front facade was plastered with acrylic lettering embossed ‘Aubrey Park’, which is the main character of the building, the building for my father's office.
Dria's thoughts soon surfaced that she did not need to avoid Egi, it was a weak attitude and showed she was intimidated by Egi's presence. Eight years have shaped his mind so much that what is stored in his heart now is apathy for love and this is more about his existence, not because of the influence of Egi again. She was only ever heartbroken again at her state when her brother expressed love, and had nothing to do with Egi's figure just regret for not being able to take care of herself.
He also could not have pretended to be amnesiac and did not know Egi anymore. Too drama when his brain raises the words..who are you? I'm sorry I forgot who you were, were you my neighbor first? Aisssh's…
Therefore Dria stopped, Egi followed. Dria calmly looked at Egi right in her eyes. For a moment there is pain that arises but then Dria can control her feelings. The past is the past as beautiful as anything or as bitter as it is, and all he knows is that his present state is fine.
Dria did not say anything just looking sharp and make Egi groggy so that Egi could not say in a few seconds. Dria shifted affirming the distance, casually Dria put her hand into the pocket of her rubberized pants at the waist which became her great outfit.
Because Dria said nothing just looking at him, stiffly and nervously Egi asked…
“What.... what... don't recognize me?”
Egi's right hand spontaneously held his nape talking without being able to look at Dria.
“Before this is not... just a moment ago I knew that you are Reginald.”
Dria said flat and pitched very formally. Dria was observing Egi now, so knew what difference in the face it was that made her pangling before this, a firmer, mature jaw, there are no subtle ‘bayi’ facial remnants on that face right now.
Egi lost all his treasury, somehow interpreting Dria's attitude, he said, he had thought before that the moment Dria recognized him and the two of them met like this Dria would abuse him or bombard him with hateful words or be hostile. What he is facing now is Dria's attitude which is the same as his client's attitude when he first met.
“There's something you want to say?”
Dria challenges Egi, opening the conversation wanting to see if Egi has the guts to offend the past.
“Hahh?? I... I want to know... are you okay?”
Egi's voice was still weak and tucked into doubt behind it, unsure of what the question was right to ask.
“Considered? It feels like I'm starting to remember, you're always watching me, do I look okay in your eyes?”
Dria's sentence is sarcastic, although delivered in a normal tone without pressure but it's like the tip of a sharp knife that scratches Egi's heart, as if telling him ‘you're too late to ask that, it's not useful anymore now’.
“You... you look very good Yes.. very good..”.
Egi answered in an almost inaudible voice.
“There's more you want to ask?”
“Hahh? Ehh.. no, no.”
Nervousness increasingly dominates him, so that the question about their child or rather their fetus used to be unable to say. Only once she sees Dria with a boy, after which Dria is not seen caring for or caring for a child.
“Alright... I still have to work. Enjoy your time in this place.”.
Dria took two steps back by looking directly into Egi's eyes, Egi gave a look. Dria turned around and walked by keeping the rhythm of her steps while exhaling one long breath.
Just like that meeting with Reginald, and Dria wanted to praise herself turns out she was able to deal with someone who had made a wound and left a long sorrow first. He smiled as he recalled how he with such a calm demeanor could stand up even talking to Egi and how elegantly he left Egi earlier. Dria tried to feel her chest like finding out her own emotions was there something going on inside her because of that meeting?
She is the same woman as women in general who connects the things she faces with emotions and feelings. There was obviously pain there, but not to the point of making her have to cry, there was discomfort as well because honestly she didn't want to be in touch with Egi. At the same time Dria was like finding and starting to recognize something different, there was a part of her heart that needed someone at a time like this, and her brother's name suddenly became the figure she needed.
Dria greets Zifa, the only employee of the father who has an office here, Zifa section that accepts consumers now and leads consumers to see examples of existing parks or show photos of parks that father had made.
Dria enters her father's unlocked room, only occasionally father receives guests here. Dria sat there and looked for her salary and made a video call with Sandro.
Twice Dria made the call, but was not picked up. Dria tried again and still left unanswered. This suddenly made his emotions rise, a feeling of sadness appeared and overpowered his heart.
Dria chose to call Timothy. In one ringing his call was answered Mr. Timo.
.
“Pak Timo, where's my brother? Why didn't he answer my call?”
“HP Young Master is on me Non... meeting is still temporarily going on, Non Dria can wait a while?”
“Ahh... alright.”
Dria said in a nearly crying voice, emotions quickly came because she was so eager to listen to her brother's voice. Dria put her gawai on the table then put her head down, then started thinking about her as sad as this was it because of Egi or because she missed her brother?
It's because of her brother... She remembered on the phone with her brother that she was a little disappointed that her brother had not come to see her. Why was it only now that she realized having this kind of feeling for her brother?
