6. Bite Her Lower Lip

"Calm down, take care yaa." Tasya's lips quivered as she felt driven away by Arya immediately. Only Dinda was distraught because she has to be alone with Arya. Not only the two of them actually because there were many other visitors at that time in the cafe.

"You're very quiet Dinda. I'm not bothering you right?" Arya moved to sit where Tasya had left.

"Oh, absolutely not." Dinda smiled slightly and turned her face to the cafe window. Hope this awkward situation returns to normal.

"You haven't ordered food yet? I'll call the waitress, okay?" Arya snapped his fingers at the waiter. And, it wasn't long before Arya started ordering some food for the two of them.

"Dinda, what's your answer to my question last night? Can I get it now?" Arya looked at the lovely girl in front of him. Not much different from when she was in her white and gray uniform. Keep it simple and keep her distance from everyone. There is only light make-up on her face and clothes that are more fashionable but still polite without needing to be revealing.

"Arya, may I ask? Why should it be me? There are many beautiful and successful women outside. I am nothing." Dinda lowered her face not because she was guilty but because she was uncomfortable with Arya's intense gaze, which seemed to scan her whole body like shopping at the mart in front of the cashier counter.

"How about it? Does love need an excuse? Hmm ..." The discussion stopped with the coming of food. The lunch session was neither a night nor a quiet one. Only Arya asks questions just to warm the frozen atmosphere.

"After this, where are you going? I'll drive you anywhere you want to go. Luckily, today my schedule is empty." And, the meal ended. After the payment was completed by Arya, now the two of them walked out of the cafe.

"I was going to take Tasya to the mall. But, it didn't happen. It seems I want to go home now. Thank you Arya for treating me a meal. I'll go first, you don't have to bother taking me home. I've already ordered a taxi online." Dinda smiled at Arya who could only remain silent with his hands on her hips

"No, you come with me now."

"Din, I need friends to share stories with and encourage me to keep going through the days. And, I feel that you are really suitable for me. Huh, you know why?" The single doctor leaned back against the car seat and put his hands behind his head.

The one who was asked could only shake her head slowly while still looking out the black car window that was not seen through from the outside.

"Because, you have never demanded. You're a simple girl in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the capital. Even though you're more beautiful and fashionable now than when you were at school, hahaha." Dinda glanced at Arya and pursed her lips to hear the chatter of her old friend.

"I don't know Arya. I haven't thought about things like this."

"Give me a chance and I'll prove I'm serious with you. Our age is no longer just a simple relationship, right?" Arya chimed in

Dinda bit her lower lip, which she always did when she was nervous. Arya who saw her suddenly leaned forward towards Dinda after removing the seat belt and spontaneously made Dinda back away from the car door.

"Stop your habit. Especially in front of all men." There was a finger stuck to the girl's lips which held back the pounding of her breath when the handsome doctor touched her lips. It was the first time in her life that a man was in front of her this close, only 5 centimeters away.

Dinda's lips felt frozen and her mind went blank for a moment. 2 pairs of eyes in the car looked at each other without blinking. Fortunately, Arya's car window was not seen through from the outside. So that no one knows what happened in it except for the appearance of a luxury car on the edge of the park which was parked with several other cars.

Dinda's hands held Arya's chest closer.

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Ahem, I'll take you home." Arya immediately started his car after putting his seat belt back on. While the heart of a woman next door rumbled like a storm that hit all of her joints which suddenly went limp.

It was like centuries because the atmosphere in the car was silent without anyone saying a word. Until finally the black car arrived at a field that residents made independently to park residents. Of course, there is a parking fee for every exit that residents collect to get back into the cash.

"Assalamualaikum..."

"Waalaikumussalam." The answer from inside the house was heard from the lips of the 4 occupants of the house.

"Do you want to go in first or ..." Dinda half offered Arya entry. Because this was the first time she had brought a man home. Meanwhile, women of her age are usually married or at least have been in a relationship many times. Dinda's mind was confused about what to say to her parents for bringing a man home.

"Sure, I want to meet you." Arya smiled very sweetly in Dinda's eyes.

"Cough, father? Since when did you call my father a father? Not uncle." The woman was worried that the doctor had ulterior motives that had made her heart rumble just a moment ago.

"Who are you? Dinda's friend, right?" Father invited Arya to sit down while asking a mother to make 2 cups of coffee.

"Yes sir, I am Dinda's friend since I was in high school. We met again at the reunion."

While in the room, the women (mother, Dania, Desia) were busy interrogating Dinda.

"That's the man who was at home with Tasya, right?" Why did he take you home?" Mother began to launch the instincts of a gossiper.

"Your friend or your boyfriend? Duhhh, so handsome like a Hollywood artist, who is that... oops, I forget it." Desia tapped her head trying to remember a name.

"Hehehe, it's okay. Back in school he was chubby. I was also surprised when I saw him again after 10 years." Dinda smiled while cleaning the makeup on her face with cleanser and cotton balls on her dressing table.

"I've seen him where huh..."
