"Just dating, not married. You still have times. Hahahaha...." Rico thought hard about his friend's words, there were no morals.
"Let's see. Besides, I still have Aline. It's not over yet." Rico laughed for a moment before walking away leaving Alan who was still enjoying his coffee and suddenly managed to get the attention of the entire cafeteria when Alan shouted for him.

1 hour left from work. But Dinda's work seems endless. In fact, she had already cut her lunchtime to just 15 minutes. A message from Arya, who informed her that she would be picked up at 5 o'clock, actually makes Dinda a little bit nervous because her work is not finished yet.
Plus the time difference with the head office in London. When Indonesians are ready to go home from work, they are just starting their activities. This is what causes Dinda and her friends at the office to often work overtime because they have to match their time at the head office.
Good Morning Sir, I hereby attach the report of the weekly meeting held this morning. Thank You, Dinda Alia (Good morning sir, I herewith attach the report of the weekly meeting that was held this morning. Thank you, Dinda Alia)
"Ok, send the finished report. Continue sending sample packages to vendors." Dinda mumbled to herself as she went back and forth to the sample room, desk, and photocopy machine to prepare the delivery letter.
A job that is contrary to Dinda's college diploma. But, at least it's still related to English. The rest can be learned while practicing. It's hard to find a job that fits your diploma these days. So any job, like it or not, must be taken as long as it is lawful and the salary is in accordance with the workload.
Until the clock showed 5 pm 15 minutes, there was no sign of Dinda in the lobby. Arya has been waiting since half an hour ago at the cafe near the lobby drinking his favorite mango juice.
Suddenly, a beautiful creature with long, straight hair came out wearing an ivory white skirt with a short, sweet pink hem with ribbon accents on the sleeves. The girl used to look old at school but now she has transformed into a beautiful swan but still modest with her innocent nature which is inversely proportional to her almost 30-year-old age.
"Sorry it took me so long." The beautiful girl smiled faintly. In harmony with the handsome doctor in front of her who looks casual without leaving a neat and masculine impression.
"It doesn't matter, I just came too. Shall we?" Arya took Dinda's waist so that the girl was suddenly shocked because she had never received special treatment like that from any man. Arya chuckled seeing Dinda's shocking behavior.
"Where are we going?" Dinda noticed the traffic jam in front of her eyes which was her daily routine when she came home from work from the car.
"Let's eat first, after that I want to take you to somewhere." Arya's smile that kept the secret made Dinda squint her eyes.
The whole trip was only filled with chanting songs from the band Dewa 19, played by one of the capital's private radio stations, which is famous for its very lively and cheerful DJ duo.
Until half an hour passed. The car took them to a tent cafe in the CBD area. After the car was parked and the two young people, hand in hand, entered the cafe which served western and oriental food menus.
Dinda is still embarrassed to join hands but Arya seems to make sure the girl next to him must be protected from the naughty eyes of men who look at her boyfriend.
After getting a strategic seat overlooking the garden, while waiting for food and drink orders, Dinda narrowed her eyes because she felt that she knew someone who had just entered the cafe. Arya who saw immediately turned his back and sure enough. The Rioters came, Arya sighed while shaking her head.
"Hey we meet again." Rico waved at Dinda and Arya. Beside him, stood a beautiful girl in a short dress with a low collar. So that it makes anyone who sees it will focus more on his chest than his face.
"Can we join you?"
Arya moved to sit next to Dinda without saying a word. Meanwhile, the woman who came with Rico entered first and sat in front of Dinda and Rico beside her.
"How are you Din? The last time we met was at the reunion. Anyway, this is Aline, my girlfriend. And... this quiet master is..." Rico smiled slightly and raised his eyelids while asking for clarification on the relationship status of his two school friends. this.
"We're dating. And, will soon be heading to a more serious level." Arya answered Rico's question casually but full of intrigue. Dinda rolled her eyes. I don't know what Arya meant, deliberately instigating Rico or what. Dinda wanted to get out of there and demand an explanation from Arya as soon as possible.
"Oh, good luck." Rico replied casually.
"Are you Rico's school friends? I saw you at the reunion party. Which hospital does the doctor work in?" Aline, Rico's girlfriend, asks in a gentle tone and even seems to be spoiled for the sake of seeing Arya, whose appearance is much more good-looking and domineering than Rico's.
Arya hugged Dinda's left shoulder towards him and played with Dinda's long hair with his right fingers. Dinda was really embarrassed by Arya's current behavior.
"One of the private hospitals in Jakarta. Just come to my clinic to practice while having a pregnancy check-up later." Arya's cynical smile really showed that the two newcomers had arrived at the wrong time.
"Watch your words Ar! Sorry if we disturbed you. Please continue eating, we moved to another table." Rico left the table in a hurry, ignoring Aline who was still sitting.
"Your man is amazing, miss." Aline winked at Dinda.
"Arya, what the hell. You look like a child." Dinda pinched Arya's arm, exasperated with her behavior.
"Aw aw aw...it hurts." Arya grimaced
"You're going too far. They didn't do anything."
"Nothing has happened yet. Don't be fascinated by the couple, especially Rico."
"Why? Tell me."
10 years ago.....
"Rico, you have to answer me!!" Siska screamed hysterically when she found out that there was a 2-month fetus in her womb after the school farewell night at that time. It was a mellow night for Siska who was willing to give up her virginity for the intoxicating words Rico said.
"Hahh, isn't it wrong?? Aren't you also going out with a lot of guys? Don't you think that I don't know huh." Rico grabbed Siska's chin and threw her to the floor.
Two lovebirds who a few months earlier made love to each other are now at odds with each other because of the presence of an unexpected fetus.
"Ric, how do I tell my papa mama? Sob... anyway you have to take responsibility." The fist of a helpless woman was hit hard to the floor. Meanwhile, the man in front of him just sat relaxed on the sofa in his house while exhaling cigarette smoke, which happened to be quiet because all the residents were out of town.
"I don't care. That's your business. Heh, you know, I never forced you to give up your virginity. Now get out of my house before anyone sees. No need for me to show you the exit door, right?" Siska cried hysterically. Didn't think that Romeo had insulted himself without any concern at all.
"I'll report it to your mama and papa when they get home. You'll see." Siska limped in despair and left Rico who smiled sarcastically.
"Before you do that, first make sure to test the DNA of the fetus in your stomach!"
The scorching heat made Arya a little unsteady carrying his big motorbike down the big street. After taking the college registration form, Arya wanted to go straight home to rest his body and soul. Until suddenly a woman stopped suddenly in the middle of the road blocking his motorbike. Arya slammed his motorbike to the side of the road as his body was thrown a few meters. Luckily he is trained to ride off-road motorbikes up and down hills so he can control the fall of the body.
"Siska, are you crazy!!" Arya spontaneously shouted angrily after learning that Siska had stopped her motorbike.
"Huhuhu....Arya? I just want to kill myself." Siska was crying hysterically while hitting her stomach. Once again lucky because the streets were empty of traffic.
"What is wrong with you?" The poor woman was brought by Arya to the side of the road.
"Ar, I'm pregnant. Huhuhu, but he doesn't want to take responsibility. Huhuhuhu." Arya's eyes widened.
"Who impregnated you? You...a rape victim?"
Siska was silent and slowly stopped crying. She shook her head slowly as if Arya's words reminded her of a big mistake. The mistakes of people who are intoxicated with love are easily entangled by the whispers of Satan
"You'd better going home now. I'll take you." Siska hobbled, guided by Arya to the motorbike that was still lying on the side of the road.
"I'm afraid...what will my papa say." Siska covered her face with her palms.
