Coincidentally or not his destiny. When Dinda came out of the small plot, Aris turned her back.
"Hello Sir. Sorry today I have a sudden business. So it looks like I'm going to take some time off for the next few days. What can?"
At the moment Aris is busy calling his boss. He forgot not to ask his boss for permission. So this is how he is. Calling the boss to not pay too much attention to the boarding place.
While Dinda who from the beginning was not aware of the presence of Aris. He just walked leisurely, walking without any burden as usual. Only the burden of the baby alone can sometimes kick him firmly. And also can't walk fast.
Dinda is going in opposite directions. If Aris is facing south. Then Dinda walked north. They turned on each other. And when Dinda turned east, that's where Aris stared at him. Because it's far away, so Aris doesn't realize. What he saw was Dinda.
"Yes sir. Thank you very much" replied Aris happily.
Clik.
Phone ends. Aris is back staking out Dinda's boarding house. But what is obtained. For almost an hour he waited. There was no sign of Dinda there.
"I don't think Dinda is going to be in here. Yes, I tried to find it somewhere else," he murmured.
Then he turned his vehicle around, heading to a boarding place a little far enough away. Dinda was there. Hopefully.
***
Already 6 boarding places that Aris visited. But unfortunately, the 6 places there is no sign of Dinda. Eternity is increasingly ruling his heart. And all day this effort has not yielded results.
She's exhausted. Finally he returned to the hotel where he stayed again. When he broke down. For some reason, she felt like she was close to Dinda. But where is it? Maybe they are in a hotel? Thought it.
"Kok I thought Dinda was here huh?"
Aris changed her position to sit on the bed that splashed the color of the cream. Maybe he should be raving for a while. To stay a few days at the hotel. It's okay, all for Dinda and her son. He started to do trouble. So he is also the one who has to sacrifice, is responsible for his mistakes. Spirit for him.
Aris took her phone. He gave a message to Dinda.
"I'm sorry, I haven't been able to find you."
The message was sent directly to Dinda. Dinda actually felt relieved when reading a message from Aris just now. That's a sign, he can still breathe freely. So Dinda doesn't have to worry anymore to get out of her hostel again.
"Alhamdulillah. Huh, so relieved. I don't have to be afraid to get out of the hostel anymore."
Thought Dinda, Aris must have moved. There's no way he's lingering on renting a hotel here. Because it could drain Aris's pocket. Yes, Dinda is sure. Aris must have moved away from where she is now.
"Yes, I'm sure that Aris is not at this hotel anymore."
If that's true, then their struggle to be together is still a long time. It all depends on Aris. And Dinda? He's just passive. Just accept the reality. If it was bitter, maybe he should find an antidote. Looking for something sweet.
"We have to be patient, baby. If he really loves you, he must be looking for you" said Dinda slowly. His clasped hands were stretched out rubbing the stomach that was quite prominent. Just so you know, this Dinda rarely checks. Alias is not routine. So even about the sex of her child she doesn't know. Because she was embarrassed to be pregnant with a widow.
Dinda also wants to contact her father. But considering that Mr. Bambang and Bu Lastri are still newlyweds. So Dinda's a little bad at all if she bothers them all the time. After all, his existence was being kept a secret. Let Wawan not hope for Dinda. And vice versa.
A wawan? Wawan is there, there is always every Dinda needs. But Dinda was afraid, she had no right to fall in love with Wawan. Although it is perfectly permissible. Legally, too, if they marry.
It's just, Dinda is afraid if Wawan can not accept his son. Again, his son is more entitled. Biological father also exists. Even if you have to choose, you prefer yourself. Single parent doesn't seem to matter. The question is, can he? Single parent means you have to be ready to be a mother and father at once. The sign is that he must be ready to provide for the needs of his son as well as himself.
Seeing him who is still a high school graduate. Looks like Dinda can't make it, she can't get through it.
"Huh, why do you think that anyway? Why did Aris? If he can't find it already," he scolded suddenly. Suddenly she hopes for Aris.
This is very unusual. Dinda rarely nagged, but she just nagged just because Aris could not find it. Didn't he stay away because of Dinda's own wishes? Dinda should have accepted the risk.
"Aris isn't the same as me?" ask her at night silence.
Maybe Dinda's like this because of the effects of her pregnancy and she's lonely here too.

5 Days have Aris looking for Dinda. But there are still no signs. I feel like giving up. But that can't happen. "I have to find Dinda, how. O God, give me directions. Why does it feel like Dinda is getting further and further away from the servant of O Allah?"
That afternoon, the weather there was so sunny and hot. So hot, this pregnant woman feels thirsty. He wanted to find ice on the other side of the room.
Does Dinda dare to go there? The answer is very bold. Although Aris was in Sidoarjo, the proof is until now they have not met. No no, maybe not yet found. Could Aris give up? Or is he looking somewhere else?
"Good, don't go see all of you. We are not a match, so let me raise this child alone. Guys are unbelievable. I hate Aris!"
Well, it's Dinda. It seems he is reversing the facts. Another in the mouth, another in the heart. In the mouth could he say that, but in the heart? Didn't he cry a lot because he was waiting for Aris to come?
On foot, these counts are a sport. Afternoon walk. He crossed a slightly crowded street. And yes, Dinda made it across.
"Yeay, we buy ice with honey," murmured Dinda gleefully.
Meanwhile, Aris daydreams beside a clear white glass window. The view in the afternoon is very interesting. But unfortunately, this 26-year-old young man seemed only interested in his mind who had no idea where else.
He sighed tired. Put his hand on his face violently. The view returned to normal as usual. As he closed the window of the hotel. His eyes caught the woman he had been looking for all this time.
Could it be Dinda?
Seriate...
