Ting tong, ting tong.
My unit door rang and I opened it.
"As long as you're really back".I went inside and Selim followed me.
"I promised to come again, you close your eyes first, I have a gift for you."Selim sat on the sofa beside me.
"What gift, I'm not birthday." I replied.
"Just close your eyes for a second."Selim says.
Selim took a ring box out of his pants pocket.
"Now open your eyes Dilara."Selim gave me a ring box.
"What's this?"I opened it straight away.
Selim gave me a silver three stone ring and immediately put it on my sweet look.
"Do you like Dilara's ring?"Selim asked .
"Yes I like, I love it" I hugged Selim and thanked him.
"I want you to keep your lipstick on, watch not to be lost."Selim.
"Why is it that the ring is gone?"I teased Selim.
"I will punish you. Later we will finish praying magrib we eat outside ya Dilara".Selim says.
"Tomorrow at noon, Selim, tonight I am tired of going to bed quickly." I refused Selim's invitation.
"Tomorrow I can't, there's an appointment."Selim.
Flashback.
"Hello Selim, how are you. I miss you, we haven't seen you in a long time."Selim on a woman's phone.
"My news is good."Selim answered briefly.
"I am now in Jakarta how about tomorrow afternoon we launch together.Selim you still remember me right?"the woman asked.
"Yes I still remember your voice, you're Yasmin right?"Selim asked back.
"Thank God if you remember my voice, you'll come in the afternoon, I'll wait at the restaurant we used to meet."Yasmin ended her call.
Flashback.
"We'll have dinner at home, let me cook." I gave advice.
"okay."Selim agrees.
I also cook spagehtti bolognese, potato cheese stick and chicken wing teriyaki.
Selim and I enjoyed dinner.
"I want to take you to a romantic dinner outside."Selim says.
"For me this is also enough and more romantic because there are only two of us" I chimed in.
"I'm here tonight again, Dilara."Selim says.
"No, I can't.If my mother knew there was a man here who would be angry." I gave an excuse.
"Well, right now, I want to meet your mother and ask her for her blessing so that I can be her daughter-in-law."Selim.
"You don't go crazy, meningan now you go straight home late, it's finished eating it?"I drove Selim away.
"You're in the habit of telling me to go, you're like a little uncomfortable when I'm here."Selim was angry and just left.
"Hello Dilara, don't you think you're the same mom?"my mother called me.
"I miss my mom, I miss my mommy's hug." I'm spoiled for my mom.
"If you miss why you never met mama, you already have a boyfriend, Dilara?"mom's introgating.
"Tomorrow mamah want to have lunch outside the same temen mamah, tomorrow we have lunch together only the three Dilara."my mother gave advice.
"Okay, ma'am WA is the address." I ended the call.
The next day I also fulfilled my promise to my mother for lunch outside with her friends.
While we were having lunch at a seafood restaurant, I saw my close friend Alena eating with a man not far from our table.
"Dilara isn't her it's Alena, your old high school friend."mamah pointed to someone who was eating.
"Well, like it's Alena" I said.
"The guy who was with Alena was her boyfriend, they were so friendly."you saw Alena sitting on the guy.
I also tried to see more clearly who the man was.
"Celim. I don't see it wrong, Alena is eating with Selim, right what she says is mamah they are very friendly."grunts in heart.
"Well, my aunt came home first." I was upset to see Selim and said goodbye.
"You didn't stop by Mom's house?"mamahku asked.
"Gosh, I'll just go home." I'll go with my mom and go home.
I got to my unit.
I remember this time I was wearing the ring Selim gave me yesterday, I took off the chip from my finger and I threw it.
Right now it feels like I want to sleep until tomorrow morning and forget what I saw earlier at lunch.
Ting tong, ting tong.
I woke up to hear my unit bell ringing, that I had been asleep for 4 hours.
I opened the door, and Selim came.
"Have you just woken up Dilara?"Selim asked as he walked into my living room.
"Yes I fell asleep." I went to the kitchen to avoid Selim.
"What are you doing Dilara, busy alone in the kitchen."Selim came to me in the kitchen.
As I was pouring water, Selim rebuked me.
"Why don't you wear the ring I love? where's the ring?."Selim angry.
"The ring is gone, I threw it away." I casually replied.
"What are you throwing away?"Selim surprised.
"Yes, I threw it away" I was indifferent.
"You mean what Dilara, dump her ring."Selim's upset.
"Why don't you accept me throwing the ring away, it's easy tomorrow let me change, let me buy it again." I chimed in.
"God why is no one sincere like me anyway, Dilara why do you keep playing me anyway?"Selim.
"Do you want me to buy the ring right now?"I'm trying to guess.
"How many times does that ring mean nothing to you?"Selim was upset, biting the tip of his lips.
"It looks like you're not giving the ring to the right person" I blame Selim.
"You mean what Dilara."Selim emotions.
"Do you ask for the ring to give to others."
"You're talking about going everywhere, Dilara, I'm asking because you don't wear the ring."
"As much as I want to wear the ring or not, maybe I don't want to wear the ring again."
"It's okay, it doesn't matter to me. I left first now it's night."Selim left with disappointment.
