Ch. 24difficult decision


"Strange, I feel uncomfortable every time I see his facial expression," Dinda muttered to herself.

Yes! Dinda, who had been silent and watching Sonia's behavior, thought that she could not be rash in dealing with that woman. She couldn't even imagine what it would be like if she and that woman continued to get involved in something.

Reluctantly, Dinda finally agreed to the deal Sonia offered. "Alright, I agree. But please don't interfere with us anymore, especially not Indra," she said in a steady voice.

Sonia smiled with satisfaction, as if she had won. "Of course. We'll live up to this agreement, and I won't interfere with you anymore," she said with a wink at the man in front of her, but in her heart she said, "Damn! You think you can have Indra just like that!?"

Amongst the tension and discomfort, they came to an undesirable agreement, evident from the look on Dinda's face as she hoped that this would be the right move to resolve this complicated situation.

Meanwhile, Indra remained brooding, realizing that his life would become even more complicated with the deal they had made. How could it not? He had no idea that his meeting with Sonia, his ex-girlfriend, would become even more burdensome for him.

With a harsh sigh, Indra then said to Sonia, "How is it? I hope you're satisfied with this."

Sonia smiled with satisfaction. "Of course, I didn't expect your future wife to be so kind and allow me to get to know each other. In the future, I hope we will continue to be on good terms."

Dinda just smiled and didn't comment much, but of course her heart said otherwise: "Duh! God forbid... I wish I didn't have to deal with this woman anymore. After all, how could Indra have an ex like her!?"

In her mind, Dinda continued to grumble about Sonia's behavior, which she found completely unexpected. Her intention to choose Indra as a replacement father for her child was indeed very hasty because Dinda believed that Indra was a good man, but she did not expect that Indra would have a past like Sonia.
 
"Really, you won't regret choosing this path," Sonia said with a big smile. "And I promise, from now on, your secret is safe with me. I'll keep my mouth shut," she said, putting a finger to her mouth.

Dinda glanced at Indra with mixed feelings. "Well, hopefully he won't break his promise," she thought.

Indra, meanwhile, lowered his gaze until he raised his head and said, "I hope so, don't ever think you'll interfere with my life again."

Sonia then chuckled, "I would never do that, Indra. We've been-"

"I think everything is clear enough, and we have nothing more to discuss," Indra interrupted as if to cut Sonia off. "We still have to work, don't we, Dind?" he asked, glancing at Dinda.

"A-ah! Yes, I still have to attend some important meetings today," Dinda continued. Although she was forced to lie because Anggoro had recently forbidden her to work too hard,.

Indra stared intently at his girlfriend, implying the discomfort he felt during the conversation.

Sonia, who realized this, smiled sarcastically while raising one eyebrow. "Really," she swore to herself.

Although Sonia felt annoyed, she finally suppressed her anger and decided to pretend to be nice in front of the two people.

The woman nodded, then got up from her seat and said, "Well, I forgot that you guys are so busy, let alone preparing for your very fancy wedding. I'll be going then. Bye!"

Sonia left immediately after uttering that sentence, which of course made Dinda a little uncomfortable.

"Dih! What the hell is he!? How could she say that?" she muttered to herself.

Sonia stepped out of the room with light steps, leaving Dinda and Indra still silent, caught in an unexpected agreement, and also in a state of confusion. The room became silent, with only a whisper of uncertainty.

Indra broke the silence. "Are you sure about this decision, Dinda?"

Dinda stared at the floor, her face reflecting a doubt that was difficult to express. "I don't know, Indra. But it seems we don't have much choice. Do we have to accept all his requests just to keep this secret?"

Indra nodded, also looking doubtful. "I'm sorry if things got messy, but if you have any objections, it's better to cancel it. I'll persuade Sonia in another way."

"Hmm?" Dinda raised her eyebrows in surprise and said, "I don't mind, as long as everything is fine."

Dinda looked at Indra with a questioning gaze. "But, who exactly is this Sonia that she could do something like this to us?"

Indra was silent for a moment, as if considering whether to reveal the secret that had been buried. Finally, she decided to answer, "She's my ex-lover. Your relationship didn't end well, and it seems she still holds a grudge or some ambition."

Dinda's face reflected surprise and confusion. Her surprise arose because Indra chose to keep this secret. More questions arose in Dinda's mind, and their decision became even more complex in the midst of their involvement with Sonia.

"Ah, it's appropriate that she's acting this way towards me," she murmured, and then looked back at Indra. "Does she still have feelings for you, huh?"

Indra was then dumbfounded with a reddened face. "Ah! How could there be?" He tried to hide the fact, because in reality, Sonia was always trying to take back his heart with various attentions, to the point of making Indra feel uncomfortable.

Indra's agitation was certainly noticed by Dinda, "Apparently it's true, but it looks like Sonia's feelings are unrequited."

Dinda looked into the distance, her hope sincere in her eyes. "Hopefully Sonia will be nice and not interfere with our plans," she said softly.

"I'm really sorry that things have come to this," Indra said again, his face downcast with guilt.

"Tsk! Never mind. Why apologize when you didn't do anything wrong? You can't apologize on your behalf."

They both pondered for a moment, realizing that a challenging journey had begun. With growing determination, they entered the unpredictable future, hoping to overcome any obstacles that might arise.

Indra understood this unexpected mistake. Both of them realized that they had to come together to face any obstacles that might arise, including the shadows from the past that were suddenly present in their current lives.

"Ah! By the way, where are our wedding preparations? Should we also continue?" Indra said, trying to break the ice.

Dinda welcomed the invitation even though her heart was still troubled by Sonia's appearance. "Still a bit, anyway. Because yesterday you just left."

"S-so yes..." Indra was silent for a moment, scratching his head, which didn't hurt. "Then we continue, I will accompany you and finish everything."

The man looked excited, his beaming face apparently able to make Dinda's mood feel better, although she still could not deny that Sonia's presence in her life was quite confusing.
