Lara's Pieces (When the Ex Returns)
Fear of Failure Again

Salma was busy arranging several small jars containing various cookies made by him. He arranged neatly in his storefront, as he calculated today he put how many jars in his storefront. When Salma was called by his employees, he said his mother waited inside, and wanted to talk to him. Salma agreed, and immediately approached her mother inside.

“What's up, Mom?” ask Salma. “Kok is there you, Dim? Come when are you?” salma asked Dimas who was inside with his mother.

“From earlier, before you came,” replied Dimas.

“Sini, I want to talk to you,” said Ms. Mila.

“It looks so serious, Bu?”

“Ya, it's serious,” said Miss Mila.

“Sama Dimas too?” ask Salma.

“Yes, I want to talk to you guys,” replied Miss Mila.

“I suspect what to say, Mom?”

“Sini sit side mom.”

Salma sat herself down next to her mother. Salma was sure her mother would ask her about her relationship with Dimas, let alone having been with Dimas for a year, where Dimas would take her. Salma does need friends, to just accompany him to tell stories, or so as not to be lonely. Because all this time Salma has never had a close friend. She was friends with her boyfriend or only her husband. Now, she's only with her mother. His mother is sometimes busy, and nothing relies on Dimas either. There was Dimas too, whom he occasionally chatted with rather than saturate, and now that Salma was able to come to terms with his past while with Dimas, he considered Dimas like his older brother, he was always ready to take himself wherever he wanted.

“You are the same Dimas how?” ask Miss Mila.

“This mom asks what the hell?” ask Dimas.

“Yes the mother asked what? Suddenly ask me the same Dimas how?”

“Iya, strange mother ih!” dimas.

“Yes you guys are often together, go together, go together? Don't you want to go back to the way you used to?” ask Miss Mila.

“I'm the same Salma is close, Mom. Even my feelings are the same as Salma's, but I appreciate Salma's feelings. I appreciate Salma who may no longer want to repeat our old story. I appreciate my friendship with Salma more now, Mom,” Dimas explained.

“True says Dimas, Ma'am. Had mom asked me to remarry, I wouldn't have married Dimas, either. I was only a year widowed, and just because I was close to Dimas, my mother asked me and Dimas how? Yeah, I'm just like regular Dimas, a regular friend. But, I also can not resist the will of God, if one day I am united again with Dimas,” said Salma.

“I amini yes, Sal?” dimas.

“No need to ngarep, Dim!” salma hatch.

“Yes, how did God give us a soul mate again? Doesn't anyone know, Sal?”

“Yes too,” said Salma. “So now, don't ask me again how I am with Dimas, huh? We are just friends, nothing more,” explained Salma.

“But, can I expect more of you? I want you guys to be together again,” pinta Bu Mila expectantly.

“Hopefully I can, Mom? But don't expect too much, you'll be disappointed. Salma had not thought about marrying again. Two times Salma failed, Mom, and it was because of the third person. Salma no longer wants this to happen in Salma's life. So, Salma does not want to get married first, Mom,” said Salma.

“This mother does not know Salma alone, if you do not want yes do not want, Mom?” said Dimas.

“Yes, if indeed you two still do not want to return?” ma'am Mila was a little disappointed.

“Author disappointed mom? Ma'am, Salma doesn't want to be in a relationship anymore. Do you know dong? Salma still wants to be with mother, take care of mother, Salma does not want to marry again, filial husband, and leave my devotion to mother, then in the end I was disappointed by my husband. I don't want that to happen again, Mom. It still hurts, Mom,” said Salma softly with a lowered head.

“Iya mother does not make sense, right mother Just ask, ending lately you are close to Dimas, after the last incident, her sister and brother Askara came here,” said Bu Mila.

“I'm close to Dimas, because who else would you like to be close to, Mom? All I know is Dimas, I have no friends, Mom,”.

“Partially if I'm not taking care of mom and Salma who else? I've considered mother my mother, and after I separated from Salma, she's already considered like my own sister, Mom,” Dimas said.

“And, besides I consider Salma like my own sister, I have lobbied her heart, but I still want to accept my heart,” Inner Dimas.

“Sok-sok’an want to be my brother! Watch out if you use your heart again! I'm not going back with you, Dim! My heart still holds a grudge against you, but I also need friends, so I'm forced to be friends with you!” inner Salma.

“Ya I've just wanted to talk about it, maybe you want to continue your activities, Sal. Or are you going to the office again, Dim?” said Miss Mila.

“I'm done anyway, I made a little cake, only in a mini jar, and only a few. Most want a stand while continuing to make a scarf again,” replied Salma.

“If I, may I invite Salma to watch, Mom?” ask Dimas.

“Watch lunch-afternoon?” said Ms. Mila.

“Yes if it's night, do you make a break, Mom? How about Salma I watch nights?” said Dimas.

“Indeed what movie is Dim?” ask Salma.

“Don't know, haven't seen the schedule, the important thing is to watch, you don't have any more work, right?”

“Iya anyway, yes already yuk. Than I'm saturated.” Salma agreed to Dimas's invitation.

They were alone with their mother, to go and watch lunch together. Salma walked along with Dimas, out of the shop.  Salma saw the car that stopped in front of her shop as she was about to get out of the store, but it took a long time for the people in the car to not get out, until Salma got into Dimas' car.

“Dim, that car has stopped long enough, when I was talking to the cashier, why not get out?” ask Salma.

“Maybe again count money?” answer Dimas origin.

“This you, the answer will be!” salma hatch.

“Ya maybe, would want to buy a cake with bread, so first calculated the money,” said Dimas.

“It's up to you, Dim. Let's hunt off!” bring Salma.

“Iya patient, tuh seat belt wear first to be safe,” said Dimas.

“Okay ...”

Dimas drove his car to the largest mall in the city. The main goal is to watch, and this time Dimas deliberately ngajakin Salma watch a horror film.

“Serious you watch this?” ask Salma.

“It is, seriously!” answer Dimas.

“You sure you're not afraid?”

“Idih, scared? What's my guy?” hatch Dimas.

“But the play is two hours away, Dim?”

“Yes is okay? Can we go for a walk first?”

“Okay, there buy the ticket, I'm lazy in line,” said Salma.

After getting tickets to watch, Dimas invited Salma to lunch first.

^^

At Ms Mila's bakery, a man got out of the car after Dimas' car drove away. He went inside, and had some bread and bought cookies and some jars. When he finished, he brought his groceries to the cashier.

“Mbak who was a man just came out the same woman Mr Dimas is not, yes?” tanyakanya.

“Oh, yes, sir. He's Mr. Dimas,” replied the cashier.

“What next to him is his wife?”

“Not, it's his ex-wife, sir. But, it seems to want to reverse, sir,” he replied.

“Oh, so?” Askara nodded her head, after getting an explanation from the cashier. Yes, Askara came to Salma's shop. He did, on purpose, want to find out about Salma and Dimas.

“Eh know not, the time Mr Dimas same Miss Salma want to watch? I'm not willing that Miss Salma snatch my heart!” the other employee was upset.

“Partially you don't read by the way? Where does Mr Dimas want with your female model?” said mbak kasir.

“But they match anyway, unfortunately Miss Salma who does not want to. Is it sorry, Mr Dimas? Try Mr Dimas to ask me that? Will I accept it?”

“Don't hau you!”

“Then a little, it's old enough still handsome. Uh sugar daddy,” compliment.

“You don't fantasize. Most soon Miss Salma would like to, just look at them for sure!” say one of the other employees.

“Huh ... broken hearted days dong if they marry again?”

Askara already knows a bit of information about Salma and Dimas. It was not in vain this afternoon he went to the bakery owned by his mother Salma, he got enough information about Salma and Dimas. After he finished paying at the cashier, he immediately returned to the mobi, and immediately opened a jar of cake made by Salma, then Askaran tasted it.

“Enak, how can Salma make a cake like this? Did he ever make this kind of cake? Not cake? Cook it rarely?” askara said as her mouth continued to chew Salma-made cakes.

“So the employee said, Salma and Dimas want to watch? I bet they're watching in a movie near here?” askara.

Askara drove her car to the biggest mall. Askara believes Dimas brought Salma to watch there. “I have to follow him there, I'm sure they must be there,” ucp Askara.

Askara parked her car. And, right, Dimas' car parked in front of his car. Askara knows because she memorized her police number. Askara went straight inside, and walked towards the cinema. He saw that Salma and Dimas had gone inside. Askara saw the title of the movie that Salma and Dimas watched. Then he asked for the ticket, whether it was still there or not. Luckily the ticks are still there.

Askara quickly bought it, then he followed inside. Not forgetting he turned off his phone, so as not to be disturbed by Zura who called him a little. He told Zura, today there is a meeting outside the city until instead, it could even be Askara will stay overnight, because it will be finished late at night. Askara saw Dimas and Salma sitting in his chair, lucky that Askara's seat was behind Dimas, so he could see Salma and Dimas sitting in front of him.

“Dim, sure you're not afraid to watch horror?” salma asked, because what Salma knew, Dimas really did not like watching horror, because Dimas was a coward.

“Eng—don't dong! Scared time?” the answer is a little stuttering.

“Not afraid but the answer is that?” cetus Salma scoffed.

“What I'm afraid of, you go again, Sal,” Dimas said.

“Do not be weird talking about it!” salma hatch.

“Ih sure, Sal. I'm not lying,” Dimas said solemnly.

“Iya, no lie, if you are afraid to watch a horror movie,” said Salma.

“Ih no, Sal, I'm not afraid.” Dimas continued to say no fear, but he was ready to close his eyes when he started the film. “His return will stop by Kia's grave huh, Sal? I haven't been there in a week, have you, too, right?”

“Iya later stop by there,” Salma replied.

“Sal, for Kia's sake, we turn yuk?”

“Janga Weird Dim. Kia was calm there. Kia must also be happy to see us who get along even without reciprocating again. She must know what's best for her papa mama now how, Dim?”

“Is there still a second chance for me, Sal?” ask Dimas.

“I haven't thought about it, Dim. Already ah watch, the film already wants to start,” said Salma.

“Cock cereal yes, Sal?”

“The name is also a horror movie, Dim? What if romantic is not horror, but romantic drama? Who told you to watch horror? Yes I do, know my favorite movie like this?” salma.

“So remember watching a horror movie together at home huh, Sal? In the past?”

“I don't remember Dim, forgot me,” Salma replied.

“You've forgotten all the hell what we've been through?”

“Because I don't want to waste my studies first. Learn to forget everything about you. So I forgot everything, all I remember is just your name,” Salma replied.

“That, yes?”

“Iya, Dim. Don't ask mulu, I want to watch!” salma hatch.

Askara heard all that Salma and Dimas were talking about. Luckily there were still plenty of empty seats, so they were not too noisy either, as the two benches beside Salma and the two benches beside Dimas were empty.

“I make sure you guys won't be together again. Sal, I still love you so much. I bet you're the same, still love me. Please don't forget me, Sal. I want to come back to you. I'm gonna fix our relationship, Sal. I promise it,” Inner Askara.

But seeing Dimas' attention to Salma, Askara felt jealous and rivaled, because Salma was so comfortable with the treatment of Dimas who had earlier embraced Salma, and Dimas also occasionally fed a snack on Salma. Salma did not reject him at all, even they look so familiar, do not hate each other, let alone they ever have a baby.

“It is not wrong of them so, they once had a baby, they once lived together. It is not wrong if Dimas hopes to return to salma,” murmured Askara.

“Sal, I love you,” whispered Dimas, but Askara heard it.

“Dimas .. don't need to mess around!” hatch Salma, but Dimas kisses Salma's cheek instead.

“Dimas!” pekik Salma's.

“Sorry, Sal. I won't repeat myself,” said Dimas.

“Then I don't want you to go, Dim!”

“Iya, yes sorry,”

Salma was a little upset with Dimas. But, despite his annoyance, he still wants to be fed a snack by Dimas.

"Maybe if God does want us to be fooled again, I will not reject him, Dim. You were so good to me and my mom. Actually I am still worried, to accept you again, because I am still afraid of failing again if married later," said Salma.
