Rian's Emergence

Dhika approached Tiara who had just come out of the employee-only room. "Tiara, are you going home? Come on, let Mas deliver," he bargained.

"Hm, don't be, ma'am. Besides, I'm still working, right?" reply Tiara smooth.

"That's okay, just for a minute," said Dhika has not given up.

"Ara wants to go somewhere first" replied Tiara reasoned, although she did not want to go anywhere.

"Yes, I'm in between, it's just coming home." Dhika began to force.

Tiara shook her head, "No need, take some nicotine. Yes, Mom, Ara go home first. Hye!" Tiara waved at Dhika then walked quickly out of the minimarket.

Dhika followed Tiara up to the door, looking at Tiara who had just entered the angkot with a puzzled look. Tiara has always refused to be driven home for a few days, there is a reason. Although usually Tiara does go home alone if entering the morning shift, if entering the night shift, then Dhika delivers because in addition to worry, public transportation is also rare. However, this time Dhika felt like Tiara was deliberately avoiding her.

Meanwhile, Tiara looks at Dhika behind the car glass until the man's shadow is no longer visible. He bit his lips, felt his pain. He knew it must be hard, but he had to do it, or his heart would hurt more than this.

"Sorry Ara, Mas. We should start keeping our distance. Ara had to learn to let go of Mas," inner Tiara as she blinked her watery eyes.

The next day, Dhika again offers to drive Tiara home, and again Tiara refuses. Dhika becomes convinced that Tiara deliberately avoided her. Even the spell of 'no rejection' was not at all able to make the girl accept his offer.

"Ara has an appointment, wants to go home the same .. friend," replied Tiara after thinking for a moment.

He promised to go home with someone. It's just that he felt he didn't have to tell Dhika. However, he had run out of reasons to reject Dhika's offer, he finally answered honestly.

"Torck?" dhika asked full of search, in his heart he hoped Tiara answered no.

Tiara nodded softly, making Dhika's heart melt. Does this mean he has a competitor to get the girl's heart? What made her chest seem like it was burning was; it was likely that Tiara was avoiding her because of that man. Dhika growled in her heart, who is the man who is so easily able to attract the attention of the girl?

"Who, anyway?" tanya Dhika wants to know.

"There you are," replied Tiara, not intending to tell. He thinks Dhika does not need to know anyone who is close to him, after Dhika gets married later they will live their lives.

"Oh, yes, be careful on the road" Dhika said with a forced smile. He was aware, not his right to regulate and forbid Tiara to be close to anyone.

"Eh, Mum. Ara first, yes. Tuh, the person has come," said Tiara as soon as he saw the car that just entered the minimarket page.

"Yes, be careful" said Dhika without turning his head, hiding a disappointed look on his face, pretending to be busy with his device and then stepping lethargic towards his room.

Dhika had not yet reached the door, Abdul - one of the employees working in the warehouse section - had already intercepted him.

"I've said, To? Don't secretly wae, later hunted people. Well, incident, to?" he said with a mocking tone.

The 26-year-old skinny young man with a thick tone of speech and Javanese accent has been working in the minimarket since its opening. The two are quite familiar and Abdul seems smart enough to read his feelings even though he never told them.

"What the hell, Dul," Dhika replied lazily.

"Nor jealous?" goda Abdul again.

"What the hell, Dul, by the way" said Dhika, pretending to be stupid. Like the thief who has been caught red-handed is still not confessed.

"Sir. Just want to say, his brother Pak Boss is good at also deketin girls. Just know a few days already playing shuttle," said Abdul with a warm tone.

Like being hit by a fist right on his chest, he saw a very familiar person enter the car.

"Rian?" his Dhika slowly.

"Yup! Mas Rian, his brother Pak Bos," said Abdul while patting Dhika's shoulder gently.

"Yes, know. What did you say just now? Been sent?" dhika asked, Abdul nodded. "Since when?" dhika.

"It has been a few days since Ma'am Tiara was ushered along with Mas Rian, but if picked up, only today," explained Abdul.

Dhika is just a mangosteen. Tiara always comes ahead of Dhika, so it's only natural that Dhika never sees Rian dropping off Tiara. Dhika looked back at the parking lot, she saw the silhouette of Tiara from behind the car glass, laughing. Dhika smiled bitterly, her chest sore, looking at Tiara's smile that looked happy, but alas, that smile was not for her.

"But, why would that person have to be Rian!" he screamed in his heart.

***

The next day, Dhika accidentally arrives early just to ascertain whether Tiara is escorted by Rian or not. Rian's appearance again disturbed his calm. He was not excited to do anything all day. Tempting Tiara was only responded to simply. The girl was completely avoiding him now.

Dhika became more and more riled up when in the afternoon he saw the car that drove Tiara this morning into the minimarket yard. He was sure it was Rian who was going to pick Tiara up. Shortly after, Tiara walked out of the employee-only room with a raised smile. Again Dhika's chest felt tight to see that smile. The smile he had always gotten from those tiny lips, but now it seemed to be gone.

"Udah wants to go home, Ra," asked Dhika.

"Eh, yes, Mas. His invitation has come." Tiara pointed at the parking lot.

"When did you know Rian?" ask Dhika. He tried to make his tone sound ordinary, even though his heart was rumbling.

"Yes since at the bookstore at that time," said Tiara without bothering to explain, after all Dhika also already knew.

"I mean, since when did you become familiar with him?" dhika asked again, dissatisfied with Tiara's reply.

"Oh, when Mas's out of town, he's here. Since then so often communication, already so," explained Tiara ogah-ogahan.

Dhika unconsciously clenches her hand, upset that Rian is approaching Tiara without her knowledge, but she soon realizes that she has no right to be angry.

"Don't get too close to him" said Dhika, still trying not to show his dislike.

"Loh, why? Rian's good, really," Tiara protested.

Tiara feels something strange, Rian often tells her that he and Dhika used to be best friends, but why does Dhika always behave like she does not like Rian? He remembered when they accidentally met at the mixed ice stall at that time, Dhika seemed to deliberately avoid Rian.

"That's because you don't know her yet."

If that guy wasn't Rian, maybe he wouldn't feel this sorry. However, there is a past with Rian that he cannot forgive. He was afraid that the same thing would happen again, let alone this involving Tiara, the girl he loved so much.

"Who does Rian know?" search Tiara.

"He was still working in Jakarta. I know enough about his nature. I just don't want you to mess up" Dhika said, without explaining what made her dislike Rian.

Tiara just smiled, no matter what. "Ara first yes, Mas, not good as Rian later waitin," said Tiara then left Dhika. Unheard of Dhika who growled furiously.

Seriate.
