Fear Dhika


According to some people, Monday is the most annoying day, whatever the reason, as well as according to Dhika. Not all Mondays, but he doesn't like Mondays. Because he thinks today is going so slowly. For three hours he looked back and forth at the circular watch in his hand without knowing what to do, and there are still approximately four hours left he will meet the person who made him restless this early.


Dhika complains with Rena's rules, which divide her employee's work time into two shifts. The morning shift starts from eight to three, and the afternoon shift starts from three to ten in the evening, except Saturday and Sunday. Saturdays and Sundays are only one shift from 10 to five in the afternoon. While the holidays alternate, on Saturday and Sunday.


The reason, Tiara got an afternoon shift today and that made Dhika have to wait to be able to meet the cute black girl. It felt like he asked Rena to hire Tiara from morning until night - like herself - so that she would have plenty of time to be with Tiara.


Gts ... Gts ... Tok


Dhika turned to the source of the voice, guessing who was behind the door. It was in his mind that it was Tiara, but he immediately brushed it aside. The new time showed at eleven, where perhaps Tiara came that fast, he thought.


"Log .. uh, Sister Rena!" it was so exciting to realize who was coming.


"Hi, Ka," said Rena.


Rena placed the pouch she was carrying in front of Dhika, then pulled the chair and sat opposite Dhika.


"When will I come home?" ask Dhika.


"Last night," replied Rena while taking out the contents of the bag she was carrying which contained lunch for Dhika.


"What mom, how good?" ask again.


"Udah, that's why Ma'am came home. Kasian Mas Andre if left for a long time. Oh, you've eaten?" Rena asked back.


Dhika shook her head, "No appetite," she replied. Either his stomach is not hungry or his throat is not tasteful.


Rena reached out her hand to touch Dhika's forehead, while Dhika frowned confused as she did not feel feverish or unwell.


"Oh, that's ordinary. You have a fever miss. The symptoms are usually bad eating and not sleeping well" said Rena with serious mimic.


"Apaan, anyway," Dhika snorted that Rena greeted with a jail grin.


"Kangen Tiara, huh?" Rena was flirting with her sister. "Oh yes, I send greetings to Tiara. Mom said, when do you want to take Tiara to see Mom," he continued.


"Bak start again, deh. Don't make me keep hoping. Ma'am will know, if I'm with Tiara there is nothing," complained Dhika.


"You and Tiara have nothing to do with you, but you may not feel anything." Rena folded her hands on the table, looking at Dhika with a demanding look.


Dhika. Rena's accusation is true, but she never admits it. He did put his taste in the girl, but he did not dare to hope that the girl also had the same feelings for him.


"When are you acting this cowardly, Ka? What are you afraid of? Afraid of Tiara refusing? Until old age you will not know how Tiara feels if you never act first" insisted Rena.


Dhika massaged her temple, feeling that there was no point in denying it. Rena seemed to know everything even though she never told anyone about her feelings.


"Come on, Ma'am," Dhika said slowly.


Dhika nodded weakly, she felt that her attitude towards Tiara had already shown that she loved the girl so much.


"Then, fight," stressed Rena, making Dhika look back at Rena as if asking how.


"But, Ma'am ...."


Honestly, Dhika hates the doubts that always arise whenever she wants to fight for her feelings. He did not even know what made him doubt.


"You're afraid Tiara won't return your feelings? Dhika, you know Tiara not two three days, but three years," Rena pointed her three fingers, "when you can't feel how she feels to you. He's a little bit of a guy" said Rena, as if he could read Dhika's mind.


Dhika complains, though they have known each other and have been close for three years, but she always feels Tiara like putting an invisible wall between them. Moreover, he had his own fears, he was afraid of not being able to make Tiara happy.


"It's not that simple, Ma'am. I'm not a teenager anymore, who just wants to date. I want this to get to a more serious level. To get to that stage, there are still many things I have to prepare for. There are still many things that I fear" Dhika said, although she herself did not know for sure what scared her too much.


Especially since the appearance of Rian two days ago, making fear that he had been trying to kill, like a terror that came back to haunt him. Even last night he could not sleep because the shadow of the bitter past continued to linger in his eyes.


Rian's presence is like turning back the events of five years ago. Coupled with the fact that Rian already knew Tiara, it made him even more afraid that the incident would happen again.


"Ka, if you need a storymate, Ma'am will be there for you. No need to hide anything from Ma'am. You believe Mommy, right?" said Rena softly. He did not ask much more, waiting for Dhika to tell himself all the problems.


Dhika just smiled while nodding slowly. Like getting a little power. After Rena got married, Dhika felt like she had lost her sister figure, which since childhood had always been the place to complain, but it turned out that her brother was still paying attention to her.


"Okay, if that's how you go home first. Previously Mbak wanted to meet Tiara, uh he knew he shift afternoon, yes already tomorrow-tomorrow, deh," said Rena while rising from her seat.


"Why did you meet Tiara?" tanya Dhika was suspicious.


"You're looking for him for you" said Rena.


"Mom!" pissed Dhika.


"Handering. Women's affairs bias." Rena flicked her hands in midair, as if brushing a tense expression on Dhika's face.


"Mbak, don't tell me anything about Tiara, please," Dhika asked.


Rena just smiled wryly then turned around, stepping out of the room. Before passing through the door, Rena turned her head, looking pityfully at her only sister. I don't know what made that once-excited man turn into a person who has no purpose in life. Although Dhika's condition is now much better than before, compared to when the man had just returned home after almost five years living in Jakarta to study.


Months of Dhika had no soul. Never eager to do anything and withdraw from the outside world. His days were spent at home, and working as a freelancer, to the point of making his mother anxious. When asked if he had any problems, Dhika simply replied that there was nothing. Rena who pity to see her sister, trying to make Dhika forget her problem.


At that time Rena thought, maybe by busying Dhika with work will slightly divert Dhika's mind. Finally Rena decided to open a minimarket by asking Dhika for help. A year later, Rena's efforts bore fruit. Dhika did not look too sad anymore, only her silence had not disappeared. Soon, Tiara is present among those who slowly bring back Dhika's lost soul.
