"I won't defend myself either, because I know I'm wrong. I was too blinded by love, consumed by seduction of married men. Even more wrongly, I had handed myself over to her, stayed together and this foolish me dissolved in hopes that she would soon marry him. But what I got was a painful thing" said Dira full of honesty.
Riana gaped in disbelief.
"Seriously you've been living?" ask Riana.
Dira nodded in agreement.
"He bought me an apartment for us to live in" replied Dira.
"I completely destroyed Ri. I don't know if there are any men out there who still want to accept me" Dira said sadly.
Riana stroked Dira's shoulder to show her concern.
"Maybe this is all a reply to my arrogance all this time huh Ri?" tanyakanya.
Riana could not answer. He was afraid of offending Dira even more.
"I used to choose which men I liked. I can have anything I want. I can insult and bully people as I please. But now everything seems pointless again, everything I have is meaningless when I've lost my pride" Dira explained later.
"You don't say so Dir, consider what has happened as a lesson for you so that in the future it will be better. I'm sure no matter what happens to you, there must be a reason from God. Your current pain will not be in vain, surely you will find the silver lining" said Riana.
"Sad may be, but give up do not. What you have built so far, a good career, do not waste it because of this. You must be able to rise, do not fall because of men. I'm also sure there will be men who can accept you as you are, a soul mate has been arranged, we just live it Dir" continued Riana gave advice to Dira.
"Thank you Ri, I'm really ashamed of you. Because I used to be arrogant with you, I was selfish, I was evil Ri" he said while wiping away the tears that dripped on his cheeks.
"But I'm relieved that this relationship is over. I am no longer trapped in the wrong love. And I'm also relieved to be able to apologize to you, once again forgive me Ri" said Dira while looking down full of regret.
Riana grabbed her cousin and stroked his back. He understood what Dira was feeling. As a woman, it's not easy.
Actually Riana felt the positive impact of the incident that befell Dira, namely the change in Dira's attitude to her. This problem turned out to be very aware of Dira about his mistakes in the past, opening his eyes about what was wrong and right. But Riana also felt sorry because Dira had to go through a storm like this first and then could be aware of her mistake. Maybe this is the way of life that his cousin must pass.
Diko who was intending to go to the toilet paused her intention from seeing the scene in front of her at this moment. He saw Riana and Dira hugging like they were strengthening each other. He doesn't know what's going on.
But this is not the right time to ask. Diko retreated slowly and turned around. He chose to go to the toilet near the kitchen to complete his wishes so as not to disturb Riana and Dira who were serious.
