Lara's Pieces (When the Ex Returns)
Former Feeling of Friends

Salma approached the crowd watching Azzura's funeral solemnly. They are saying a prayer that has been read. Salma stood next to Dimas, and next to Salma was exactly Alana with Risya and Nina.

“Salma ...” Alana greets Salma and Salma kisses her hand and Alana hugs her.

“Mother, how are you?” Ask Salma.

“Good, Sal,” answered. “Who are you here with, Son?” Ask Alana.

“With Dimas, Mother. Last night Mas Aska informed me, he said Mbak Zura died, so I came here, to mourn the departure of Mbak Zura. Good thing Dimas was not so busy today, so he could drive me,” Salma replied.

Nina and Risya also greeted Salma, but only. He was still not happy with Salma about the incident back then. Salma was ordinary. He considered the matter to be just the wind then.

One by one the mourners left. Askara and Afifah are still crouched in front of the red earth mound, the grave of Azzura.

“I am so sorry for the passing of your beloved wife, Mas,” Salma said.

“Sal, you came?” ask Ask Askara.

“Yes, Dimas mumpung wants to drive him,” Salma replied.

“Oh with Dimas?”

“Yes who do you want to be with?” answer Salma.

“Munda ..” Afifa hugged Salma. “I miss mama ..”

“Mother is also kangen, you are patient, yes? Pray for mother, may mother be received by God's side,” said Salma.

“Iya, Mother. Mother went home, right? Won't go again?” ask Afifah.

“Mother yes go home mother dong, Fah? Mommy is already divorced with your dad?” answer Salma.

Actually Salma was also very confused with Afifah, but considering what Afifah and his father had done when Azzura again missed what Salma would say stuck in the throat. Salma no longer knew the hypocrites around him.

“The mother misses you, Fah. But you remember what you and your father did when your mother came back. Your heart still feels pain, Fah. Can't be cured yet, Salma's inner”.

“You stopped by the house first right, Sal?” ask Alana.

“Iya will stop by for a while,” replied Salma. “That's a souvenir from mom too, Mommy,” he added.

“Mother why not just come back here? Fifah alone mother ...”

“There's oma, opa, aunt, budhe, and dad, right? So Fifah is not alone,” replied Salma.

“But no mother,” he said.

“Chat is further at home only, yes? Any time you want to miss eating?” alana.

“Iya, let's go home, darling,” take Askara to Afifah. “Mari Sal, stop by home,” invite Askara on Salma.

Salma nodded. He was actually very lazy, surely later Afifah forced himself to stay overnight, and could not go home. Salma walked on the side of Dimas. Dimas embraces Salma, and Salma replies to Dimas. Dimas rubbed Salma's head, then leaned her against his chest while walking.

“Back yuk, Dim. Lazy ah here, the people are so foreign to me,” Salma lirih.

“Hush .. can not, you are patient, they will invite us to stop by, yes stop by first, chat pleasantries what is it?” dimas.

“See Afifah like earlier, when asking me not to go home, how pity huh? But, if you remember yesterday when there was Zura he was completely against me, why still hate his attitude? Especially with Askara, lazy I see it,” said Salma.

“Lazy what is kangen?” ledek Dimas's.

“Apaan, hell!” salma said by pinching Dimas' stomach.

“Ouchh ... Sick, Sal! You now like nyubit my belly, huh?” Dimas complained, until everyone heard and turned to Dimas.

“Your stomach is now fat, not rich first, so I'm gnarling, Dim!” salma answered by tickling Dimas' stomach.

“Udah amused, Sal! Belly people are still sixpack gini really, you say fat, Sal? So-so you!” hatch Dimas. “You see?” challenge Dimas.

“Let's go home later, here a lot of people,” Salma replied.

Salma was actually anxious to see Dimas' stomach which was like torn bread. Sometimes very upset when he saw Dimas at home, remove his shirt and t-shirt, explore his body is still sexy as before. Fortunately, Salma's faith was still strong, when he saw Dimas bare-chested in front of him.

Dimas opens the door of his car and steals Salma inside. From earlier Askara saw the closeness of Dimas with Salma that was so close. Even Salma was now getting more familiar with Dimas. Askara suspects they are married again.

“Maybe they turned it back. No way!” The unaccepting Askara mind saw them close, even the treatment of Dimas was very friendly to Salma.

“Daddy come on .. why is it outside?” Call Afifah who sees his father still outside, not getting in the car.

“Iya, sorry,” replied Askara.

“Why be jealous see them close?” ask Zhafran.

“Yes so, Pa,” replied Askara.

“Mean it if you want to act think first! Main left people as good as Salma. Now sorry, right?” Zhafran.

“Ya regrets it also seems to be too late, Kak,” said Ardha.

“Obviously very late, which is not too late yes you have to let them happy, Ka?” zhafran.

“It looks like it won't be able to, Ka. Look at Salma being so happy. And look at you, you've hurt her too much. First, Salma never wants to be combined, but you still marry Zura, second Salma your first wife, but you ignore it. From there you are wrong, Askara! Obviously he will no longer want to come back to you,” Zhafran said.

“But Dimas had hurt her, and he married his best friend. The proof is Salma's with him close again? Most likely I can also approach Salma again,” Askara said.

“They are still in good communication with the Salma family. His father Salma's company with his father Dimas from the past went together, until now held by Dimas was still good he managed it, where the money for Salma, where the money for his mother Salma, where the money for her, make his late wife him first, he can arrange it. He is also good with his mother Salma, and with Rani, his late wife Dimas. He was good with his mother Salma. So Salma ya can still forgive him?” zhafran.

“Kok papa knows once about Dimas?” ask Ask Askara.

“Papa knew Dimas, before you knew Salma. Papa thought you wouldn't hurt Salma, it turns out you hurt him worse than Dimas hurt Salma,” Zhafran said.

“Since when did you know Dimas?”

“Since Dimas is still with Salma. Papa was close to Dimas, we worked well together, long ago, while Dimas' company was still held by his father, and he also knew his father Salma and his father Dimas, respectively, we know very well, that's why you agreed to marry Salma. He is from a good family, but indeed he went from home avoiding Dimas,” Zhafran said.

“Why did papa just say that papa knows Dimas and Salma from the past?” ask Ask Askara.

“Yes because papa felt no need to disturb Salma's past. Papa just just knows, Salma women are fine anyway. Maybe if Salma's past is not good, keep him from the family is not good as well, papa just discussed it, but will papa already know how Salma's past, why Salma left the house, Salma left the house, knows everything. Yes papa was also disappointed with Dimas, why he chose Rani, it turns out there is a reason of his own,” said Zhafran.

“What's the reason?” ask Ask Askara.

“You just ask Dimas,” replied Zhafran.

Askara was silent. It turns out that his father knew who Salma was. It was only fitting that his father agreed and with Salma looking so defensive once, especially when Nina and Risya acted with Salma, Zhafran was furious with them. It was all because Zhafran had known Dimas for a long time, and up to this point they still worked well together.

“Why is papa silent? Papa should have said the same to me?” ascara Inner.

Dimas drove his car slowly, because while chatting with Salma, and in front of his car there was a car Zhafran also drove slowly, so Dimas casually drove his car.

“Dim you why unbutton your shirt!” cetus Salma's.

“Let you get more anxious see my stomach, later it will be pinched again,” replied Dimas with a chuckle.

“Ih what the hell! Not funny, Dim!” salma hatch.

“You're used to seeing too, right?” said Dimas

“Iya see, your people sometimes at home undressed carelessly? Do not take off clothes carelessly if at home dong? Anxious to see the peeper I pinch,” said Salma.

“You don't miss being hugged by me when I'm topless, Sal?”

“You added, by the way? Close the shirt button!”

“How come you're turning ferocious again Sal? Cake your time is still Junior High, is it really fierce, judes again?” dimas.

Dimas remembers the first time he moved house, and close to the house of Salma, his father always invited to the house of Salma every day, so that he could conquer the jutek girl, also fierce, so that he could conquer, and became close friends then when their High School was in a relationship. From their junior high school friends to their high school romance, making Dimas and Salma have no friends, Dimas has only had Salma as a friend since moving house, and Salma also felt that Dimas was just her friend. Salma was Dimas's younger sister. Salma first grade SMP and Dimas third grade SMP at that time. Because already familiar with Dimas, Salma finally entered the same SMA with Dimas. And, they were dating in school when Salma was first grade in high school, and she was dating third grade Dimas.

“Part of you was her nyebelin from the past did not cross ya, Dim?!” salma.

“I intentionally, just anxious look at you who are jutek, fierce, rarely smile. And ... once a smile I immediately fell in love with you,” said Dimas.

“Dan ... Once married I hurt me?” connect Salma.

“That's all because of circumstances, Sal,” Dimas replied with a face full of regret. “Oh yes, Sal, have you read the letter from Rani? Have you read Rani's book too? The one I put you yesterday, after I had the accident,” asked Dimas.

“Not yet I read, I haven't touched again after I received it from you,” Salma replied.

“That's what you are? I'm the same as the deceased, Sal? Read the letter Sal is important, if in the book I have read everything,” said Dimas. “You never talked about Rani with you?” ask Dimas.

“No, never at all. Most ever said that Rani often go home, that's it,” Salma replied. “If the book is the same letter, I haven't read it, no interest. If for example I read Rani's books and letters from Rani, it feels like peeling the past that I have tried to wrap tightly and already want me to throw away, I no longer want to see or remember. So I chose to save it,” explained Salma.

“When your heart is ready, read it, Sal? There is a lot you don't know about Rani, and about my marriage to Rani,” Dimas said.

“Indeed I should know that? I don't just have to know about your past, do I, Dim? Especially with someone who has taken you from me?” answer Salma. “It's Dim, I don't want to talk about Rani. I've had enough heartache, I've been patient enough to treat my wounds that you scratched first, and now I still want to accept you as a friend, you shouldn't have to talk about Rani again, Dim? Just make a bad mood you!”

“Yes I'm sorry, Sal. Don't sulk already. But if for example I expect more from friends how?” ask Dimas.

“Don't hope, Dim! I no longer want to commit to men,” replied Salma.

“OK, I appreciate your decision, no problem really, the important thing is I still see you,” said Dimas. “If eg Askara ask for a return how?” ask Dimas.

“Will not! Even if he kneels even once I won't want to go back.” Reply Salma.

“Misal Afifah who want?”

“Will not, Dimas? You from earlier for example continue? Not tired what the hell is asking that? No need to discuss it there. Now I want to focus on my mom. Mom's the only parent I have now. I want to accompany mom, in the twilight of mom. I don't want to think about getting married again, Dim. Mom is my priority now. I've disappointed you too much, with me failing to get married twice. That's why I chose to stay at home, accompany my mother, and I've been bothering you to take care of me. So I don't want to trouble anyone else anymore,” Salma explained.

“So you consider me someone else?” ask Dimas.

“Maybe taste brother times, yes?” answer Salma.

“You could have, Sal?”

Salma is comfortable with the situation now. He returns to find the former figure of Dimas, whom he first knew. Dimas who was always patient despite being yelled at by him, Dimas who always understood the state of his heart, knew his feelings, and knew what he wanted. Salma can now find the old Dimas, who may be able to make himself fall in love with Dimas again. But when he started thinking about his feelings for Dimas, Salma hurriedly dismissed the sense that for Salma it should not be repeated again.

“I am comfortable with this situation. Comfortable with the current Dimas, but I felt that Dimas was the old Dimas, whom I had just met. About my feelings with Dimas, I myself do not know, because sometimes I feel like I am in love a second time with Dimas. I feel like I'm going through my teenage years again with Dimas. Fighting, arguing, marahan, but the end needs each other again, understand each other again, and need each other again. I don't think this is love, but I also feel the seed of our love will grow back, but don't know, I haven't thought of it, Salma's inner”.
