Love Dictator
Reunions.

We both arrived at my apartment.

"Come in and rest. For tonight you sleep here for a while" I suggested to Selim.

Selim walked into the room and dropped his body just like that on my bed.

I came up to him, his eyes closed after I covered his body.

I sat by the bed, watching her sleeping face and occasionally stroking her hair.

"Are you asleep? Aren't you going to wash your face first?" my many.

None of my questions were answered, he grasped my palm and placed it on his cheek.

Seeing him fall asleep like now I remembered his quarrel with his mother. He was snatched several times by his mother. I empathized with him and made me realize how miserable destiny is in nature.

I felt when I fell asleep even though the look on his face showed sadness.

It seemed that Selim had really fallen asleep, so carefully I removed my hand from his grasp so as not to wake him up. After my hand had escaped I rushed to the tv room to sleep on the sofa. Tonight's the third time I have to sleep on the couch.

From this room I could see Selim sleeping, and instead Selim could see me from the bed where he was sleeping. Because between the bedroom and tv room there is no partition, only the bedroom floor is made higher as a barrier.

To esokan day.

I get up, shower, pray and make breakfast in the kitchen.

Selim woke up and took a shower, he was wearing clothes that he wore last night, because he did not bring a change of clothes.

He followed me to the dinner table for breakfast.

While I was having breakfast someone called me, but because I was eating and my hands were dirty, so I received the call by raising the volume of my phone and putting it on the table.

"Hello Dilara this week the plan is for children to make small reunions. Would you like to come?" ask Dara.

Dara was one of my SD friends, she's my only SD teacher whose phone number I still keep. He lives in a yard with me in Bogor. To this day, he still lives and works there. Unlike me, after graduating from college I chose to migrate to Jakarta.

"Residency with SD time friends? looks exciting!" I said.

"You should come. If they have children, they will bring their children. Must be more and more children," Rayu Dara.

"Well, I'll tell you what else to follow" I replied, I ended the call.

"Are you coming to the reunion?—, his emotions are unstoppable again. "Are you still coming even if I forbid you?" selim Bengpak.

"Did you tell me to come? What's wrong with coming to the reunion? It's an opportunity for me to be in touch with my friends" I protested.

"Come to the reunion, if you insist. Don't blame me if something happens that you don't want because you chose to come to the reunion" Selim threatened.

Selim stopped his breakfast, and moved from his seat "I'm done, I'm waiting for you downstairs."

"Is there something wrong with my words?" I murmured, I was surprised to see the one who suddenly left.

I finished my breakfast, and left the messy dining table with the dirty dishes just like that.

I rushed off after Selim, I was afraid that he might get angrier from waiting too long downstairs.

As usual today before leaving for work I had to stop by Selim's house first, because he had to change his clothes first before leaving for the office.

I finally got to my office.

Elsewhere in Selim's office.

As Selim was walking from the parking lot to his study, his phone rang.

"Who's the new number that calls in the morning?" muttered Selim, Looking at the call from his phone.

"Hello, can I talk to Selim?" tanyakanya.

"Yes I'm Selim. Who are you?" ask Selim.

"I'm Mira Dilara's mother. I got your phone number from her sister Dilara. He said you were Dilara's girlfriend" he asked.

The flashback

Yusup immediately called my mother after I came home from her house. He told me his sister had a boyfriend.

Mira is my mother, I decided to stay in an apartment after work and since my father died five years ago, my mother lives alone in my hometown of Bogor. My mother doesn't work because she's old enough, for her living expenses she's relying on my father's pension and the money given from me and my brother.

"Yes right I'm Selim Dilara's boyfriend. What's wrong, auntie suddenly called. I was shocked, not expecting my aunt to call me," Selim said.

"There's nothing. Auntie wants to have a little chat, can't she? Aunty doesn't bother you right now, does she?" tanyakanya.

"No, no bother at all" Selim said.

"You've been dating Dilara for a long time?" tanyakanya.

"No, not too long ago" replied Selim.

"Yes aunty was shocked when her brother said that Dilara already had a boyfriend. He never told me anything about a aunt. Because lately he rarely goes home.

Although the distance from his apartment to the aunt's house only takes two hours if it is jammed," he said.

"Dilara also never told about aunty or other family. Yesterday was the first time he knew me with his brother" Selim said.

"When can aunt meet you? auntie also wants to meet you in person. How about you just come to Tente's house?" her word.

"I also want to visit my aunt. I wanted to tell you a lot about Dilara but I was afraid Dilara would get angry. We'd better meet somewhere else" Selim suggested.

"How about we meet today" he suggested.

"Today ya—, Selim stopped talking for a moment, to think. "Today seems to be coming home from work, after the magrib," Selim said.

"okay. Let aunts all want to spend the night at Dilara's place," he said.

"Aunty from Bogor? Auntie want me to pick you up? Let me ask my driver to pick up the aunt, just send me the address" Selim suggested.

"OK can, if not a hassle. Already hang up the phone first, see you in Jakarta," he said, Ending his phone call.

In the office at my place of work.

At lunchtime, Dara suddenly called me.

While I was struggling with my worries, Selim called me.

He said today he could not pick up because there was business.

After getting the news from Selim, I felt that my path was open to being able to come to the reunion.

After the magrib prayer I began to get ready to leave. I wear white long-sleeved blues, navy leather pants, use a sling bag, wear plate shoes of the same color as the pants, and hair in the booth.

I finally got together with my friends at Arborea cafe, a garden concept cafe.

It turned out that who came to the reunion was only about ten people. I sat down with Dara.

When I noticed it turned out to be my breakthrough when SD came. Nothing has changed from him is still as fascinating as it was fifteen years ago when we were Elementary. I tried to steal the attention in front of him. But not one bit of his eyes were distracted by me. I finally gave up but the good news is that we're all in a group chat, so there's a chance I can communicate with him.

Elsewhere Selim was waiting for my mother at a cafe where the two would meet.

No need to wait long finally my mother came to the cafe directly between the driver Selim.

Selim welcomed my mother by experiencing her and the chips. The two began to talk.

"After the aunt met you in person, the aunt became more convinced that you were a good fit for my son Dilara" she said.

"Before I apologize to my aunt, I actually applied for Dilara yesterday, without asking permission first to aunt," said Selim.

"really? Congratulations then aunt join the seneng, meaning that it means you are serious about Dilara," he said.

"Actually if I can tell the same aunt, Dilara it seems not serious with me. He doesn't think I'm his girlfriend" Selim said.

"Maybe it's because Dilara's a spoiled child, so it doesn't seem serious. Later let aunty advise him," he suggested.

"Because it's night, I'd better take my aunt home now" Selim said.

Selim has arrived at my apartment to take my mother home. It turns out Dilara wasn't in his apartment.

At the same time Selim finally knew that Dilara had not yet returned. Selim called me immediately.

"Where are you, Dilara? It's not home tonight" asked Selim.

"I'm with my friends again" I replied.

"Now it's night, you should go home soon. Where are you now? I'll pick you up" Selim said.

"I'm on Gatot Subroto street, in Arborea cafe," I said.

Selim immediately ended his call.

Selim drove his car at a speed he could not. He's a little speeding right now.

After getting to the cafe Arborea, he immediately pulled my hand and dragged me into his car.

"What were those friends of yours? I don't know the people" Selim said.

"They were my friends in SD" I replied.

"So—, Selim tried to find the right word, so that there was no quarrel.

"So that gathering was a reunion?" ask Selim

"Yes, the reunion is advanced so today" I replied.

"Why didn't you tell me? Did you do it intentionally? And go silently," accuse Selim.

"I can't refuse, because I was forced by my friend to come" I replied.

After that we didn't talk to each other again until we finally got to my apartment.

Selim went straight back and didn't say a word.

When I walked into my unit there was someone who looked the same as my mother sitting on the couch in the tv room.

After I got there, it was true that she was my mother.

"Mam—, I was surprised to see my mother come to my apartment, I felt something was awkward.

"Mommy, it's here. When did mamah come? Why didn't you tell me you wanted to come?" my many.

"Mamah deliberately did not know, want to make a surprise," he said.

"I'm glad you came here" I said.

"Where are you out of here at this hour?" tanyakanya.

"I've finished reunion with my SD friend, mamah reminded Dara of our neighbor," I replied.

Not wanting to be asked anything deeper about the reunion, I chose to go wash my face.

we both slept together in the same bed. Because we're not sleepy yet we're both chatting. And then came the conversation about Selim that made me very surprised.

"Said brother Yusuf you already have a boyfriend, is Dilara really?" tanyakanya.

"Yes right, ma'am" I said.

"Why aren't you telling the same story? Selim will be serious with you, the proof is that he proposed to you," he said.

"Do you know Selim proposed to me?" my many.

"Actually today mamah stayed here because of the meeting with Selim," he said.

"Can I meet Selim? What is he talking about with Mom? Did he snitch me to mama?" accuse me.

"No, we're not just chatting normally" he said

"Lied I don't believe. From the beginning I felt mamah suddenly coming here was awkward. I don't usually tell you I used to" I complained.

"Mamah is not a strange thing to Selim. He also told me ordinary things" he said.

"I don't like to meet secretly with Selim behind me" I protested.

Finally tonight we both sleep on our backs because of Selim's problem.
