Part 27
"Ehmm yes Om, sorry if it's uncomfortable. It's noisy."
"Ah, it's okay, Uncle, I understand. You're like this, aren't you, once you're young. Isn't that right, Ma?" said papa while nudged mama.
"I'm flirty, I'm ashamed of the other guests." Papa laughed at what Mama said. Dora just smiled at the behavior of her parents, her mind was not focused. Between listening to his parents' conversation or calming the pounding of his heart.
"So, Bayu my son, uncle is also the same as your friend's question earlier. When did you introduce your girlfriend?" papa even joined the strange thought Dora.
Bayu glanced at Dora before answering Dora's father's question, while Dora glanced at him and then looked elsewhere. "I have no intention of dating uncle, but I will immediately invite the girl I like directly to the aisle."
"That's good, Om prays that we meet soon, yes or is it already there?" asked Dora's papa. Bayu nodded with a smile.
"Oh, it's already there, why weren't you invited here?" asked Dora's papa again. Bayu didn't answer, as if he was thinking.
"Dad, it's okay, you've beaten the imfotainment he asked!" said Dora. Papa laughed and showed his finger in a peace shape, a sign of apology. Dora just shook her head slightly annoyed.

Bayu is starting to get busy with his new office, Dora also starts to reduce her meetings with Bayu. He couldn't stand it every time he met Bayu his heart suddenly relapsed, pounding erratically,
"Ra, are you busy?" Azzam looked from above to see Dora's table. "You see how?" answered Dora. "I'm busy, but can I be bothered for a moment?"
"2 minutes!" said Dora.
"Wow very fast." "1 minute 30 seconds to go!" said Dora again.
"Let's accompany me to Merdeka Square later. There's a durian party there."
"I'm sorry, I don't like durian."
"There's not only durian there, how come there are many other culinary delights."
"Can you answer it later?" asked Dora.
"Why later?" Azzam even asked back.
"Your papa is already glaring inside." answered Dora.
Azzam hurried back to his own desk. Dora giggled silently, continuing her pending work.
"Ra, will you pick me up later?" Dora received a message from Bayu.
"Don't worry, Dora wants to go," replied Dora after thinking for a moment.
"Where are you going?" asked Bayu. "Go with Azzam."
"Hmm okay. Don't care honey!" Dora did not reply to Bayu's next message. Dora continued her work until it was time to go home.
"How is Ra, so come along right?" Azzam asked.
Arriving at Merdeka Square, the atmosphere was already very crowded. Especially in front of the location where you can eat durian as much as you like, only 60 thousand rupiah. Many people are already queuing to register.
Suddenly the all-you-can-eat durian registration announcement will close in 5 minutes. Azzam panicked and immediately pulled Dora's hand closer to the event venue. Dora refused because she really didn't like durian, let alone seeing the durian that was piling up in the middle of the event.
"Come on Ra, you'll be late registering!" take Azzam.
"Yes Ra, come on quickly!" Danang insisted.
"I already told you bro I don't like Zam durian. You said we eat other dishes." Dora answered while covering her nose.
"Yes, you just wait here, we go in first." Azzam said finally.
"What! For durian Azzam to leave me in the middle of a crowd like this?" Dora shook her head in disbelief.
She tried to find a way to pull over, her head began to dizzy because she smelled the very pungent smell of durian. Dora really doesn't like the smell of durian, let alone eat it.
"Wow, there's a pretty girl!" someone shouted behind him.
"Uh yeah, are you alone? Where's your brother? Here, my friends!" shouted the other.
Dora, who was standing beside the fence, turned to the source of the voice. Five young men were laughing at him. They moved closer to Dora who was still dizzy.
"Why, Sis, you have a headache. Here, you must treat your brother, you will be addicted. Hahaha!" Dora glanced at them who were laughing heartily.
They were only a step away from Dora now, Dora tried to back away but her body was already touching the guardrail. Dpra panicked, wanted to scream but the people who gathered to see the durian eating competition were not going to hear because the music was so loud.
Dora almost fainted closing her eyes when someone appeared and immediately hugged her while carrying her away. The young men did not dare to say a word seeing the look in the man's sharp eyes looking at them.
"Let's go home! Dora opened her eyes and she was relieved to see Bayu hugging her shoulder. Arriving at the parking lot, Dora let go of Bayu's arms slowly. Bayu who realized then smiled and apologized. Then they went back in and went home in silence. Dora closed her eyes because she still felt dizzy. The smell of durian seemed to still stick in his nose.
"Still dizzy?" asked Bayu.
Dora just nodded without opening her eyes. Bayu pulled his car over in front of a small shop, he got out and came back in. While carrying a bottle of mineral water.
"Drink this!" he ordered Dora.
Dora drank the water that Bayu gave her, while Bayu opened a bottle of wind oil and rubbed it on the tip of Dora's nose and forehead. A fresh scent wafted through Dora's nose. Feeling fresh makes the dizziness begin to decrease. Dora opened her eyes and looked at Bayu.
"Thank you, bro!" he said and looked the other way.
Dora couldn't stand the look in Bayu's eyes which made her heart jump again. Bayu continued his journey back without speaking. Suddenly Dora's cell phone rang, from Azzam. Immediately accepted without a sound,
"Hello, Ra, where are you. Why don't you go away!" Azzam's voice was annoyed mixed with anger.
