"Including you too?"
Bella looked at Aldi closely. Her thoughts drifted to the people in his past. I don't know why Aldi's words made him remember that figure again. Her first love figure.
"Me too. It's like this, Ald, close people can cheat, especially people who are far away. Maybe that's what makes your girlfriend uncomfortable and becomes possessive."
"If you think like that, it means that in your relationship there is no sense of trust. You don't trust your partner," explained Aldi.
"Not because there is no trust, but because of fear. Afraid that you will be attracted to other girls here or afraid of losing you," said Bella. "If you are dating long distance, you have to be able to understand each other."
"I don't know, Bell. I'm confused when I think about it." Aldi massaged his temples which hurt from thinking too much about Tania there.
"Occasionally when you go back to Bandung on weekends. Meet your girlfriend. That way her trust will grow with you again. After all, Jakarta-Bandung is not too far away." Bella patted Aldi's shoulder. "I'm on the field again, yes. You think carefully what I said earlier."
After Bella died, Aldi was pensive again. Reflecting on his relationship with Tania. Aldi is not a jerk who leaves Tania without an explanation. Aldi told Tania that he had to fulfill his father's will to come to Jakarta and live with the girl he was going to marry. And Tania also seems to have no problem with it.
Flashback On.
There's something I want to tell you." Aldi sighed. It was hard for Aldi to tell Tania the truth about what happened.
"Honey, this is great, isn't it?" Instead of answering Aldi's words, Tania asked Aldi's opinion about key chains. "The keychain can be made of our photos."
"Good," Aldi replied unenthusiastically. He stroked her head gently.
"Later we will take a photo of the two of us, okay. Then one with you, the other with me," said Tania excitedly.
"Yes, dear." Aldi sighed again.
Tania, who realized that there was something strange about Aldi, looked at her boyfriend. "What are you doing? There's a problem, huh?"
Aldi shook his head. "Nothing, really."
"Huh seriously?" asked Tania spoiled. "You must have a problem. Try talking to me here."
Aldi smiled sadly. Tania is a sensitive girl. Tania always knows how Aldi feels. "There's something I really want to tell you."
"What?" Tania put her cellphone on the table and looked at Aldi carefully. I really want to listen to the man talk.
Seeing Tania's response, who seemed ready to listen, made Aldi smile warmly. That girl is so cute. Aldi held Tania's hand, with another sigh. Aldi began to talk.
"Earlier, Mama told me, she said there was a will from Papa that I had to do and I couldn't refuse." Aldi started to talk.
"What will?" Tania asked softly while stroking the man's hair.
"But don't get me wrong, okay?" Aldi sighed for the umpteenth time again. "I was matched with the son of a friend of Papa and Mama. And she said for the approach period I had to live with him for three months."
Tania's gentle stroke on Aldi's head suddenly stopped. Tania took her hand away and averted her gaze.
"Tania," Aldi called softly. He cupped Tania's cheek to look at her but the girl immediately refused.
"So you want? You're going to leave me?" Tania's voice trembled with tears.
"No dear. I don't want to be matched," said Aldi as he gently stroked Tania's cheek.
"You refuse?" asked Tania hopefully.
Aldi shook his head slowly. "I can't say no. It's Mama's decision, honey."
"Then what about me, Ald. I'm your girlfriend. We've been dating for two years. Do you want to waste it?" Tania doesn't want to lose Aldi.
"Like this honey." Aldi tried to explain carefully. "I really can't refuse Mama's wish to live with that girl, but I can refuse to get married. Mama won't force me to marry her later if we don't get along."
"Three months, Ald. Three months you live with him. It's not impossible that you like him." Tania's eyes glazed over. The door to losing Aldi was in front of his eyes.
"No, honey. I promise I won't like him. In my heart, there is only you. I can't forget the people I've been with for years for the sake of someone I just met. No way." Aldi stroked Tania's hair to give understanding to the girl.
"You promise you won't like him?"
Ally nodded slowly. "I promise, honey."
Tania is relieved. What she always liked about Aldi was his responsibility and honesty. Aldi rarely lied to him. Aldi always keeps his promises.
"Then we have to buy the keychain. One with you, the other with me. Let us remember each other." Tania rested her head on Aldi's shoulder.
Aldi gently stroked Tania's hair and kissed her hair. "Yes, honey. We'll buy it later, okay?"
"I'm waiting for you here, Ald. Hurry home and don't change."
Flashback Off
Aldi's cell phone rang, waking him from his daydream. Aldi took his cell phone from his pocket and saw an incoming call from Tania. Without thinking twice, Aldi immediately answered Tania's call.
"Hi, darling."
"Where were you last night? You're getting weirder now, aren't you? Do you like that girl?" the voice on the other side.
Aldi massaged his temples again. Tania is too suspicious. "No, Tan. Last night I was tired of working in groups. When I got home I went straight to bed so I didn't have time to talk to you."
"You're lying," said Tania.
"I'm not lying, Tan. Come on, believe me." Aldi's voice is tired.
"Ald, thank you last night you took me home," said Dinda who suddenly came and sat down beside Aldi.
Dinda's words sounded in Tania's ears. Tania is angry again. "Which other girl are you taking, Ald. I indeed said that you had an affair there."
"Tan listen first. You don't misunderstand."
A disconnected call is heard. The call has been decided by Tania unilaterally. Aldi sighed. His relationship with Tania is getting worse.
Dinda who was beside Aldi pretended to feel guilty. Even though he had planned to make Aldi's girlfriend feel jealous of him.
"Sorry, Ald, that was your boyfriend, huh?"
Aldi nodded. He did not want to hide the existence of Tania as his girlfriend.
"Yes."
"So she's angry?" Dinda acted as if she felt guilty. "Sorry, yes. It's because I'm your boyfriend that you misunderstood."
"No," said Aldi nonchalantly. "We'll make it up later. We're used to small problems like this."
Dinda nodded. In his heart, she prayed that the relationship between Aldi and his girlfriend would break up quickly. So that she has a chance to get close and date the man.
"How long have you two been dating?" asked Dinda curiously.
"Two years," Aldi answered simply.
Until Aldi's eyes accidentally stared at the field. There are Salsha and Bella who are involved in an argument. Aldi reflexively stood up and stepped into the field followed by Dinda behind him.
