Benalu In My House
THIRTY-FIVE

Mentari just arrived at his office. Since he was active in the office, Belinda was the one who supported, accompanied, and protected Mentari wherever he went.

When going to enter the lobby, suddenly Arga has opened the door first for Mentari to make Mentari flabbergasted.

"Good morning, Miss Mentari. Please!" Arga, Head of marketing division invited Mentari to enter while revealing his smile so wide.

"Ah, yes, thank you Mr. Arga!" said Mentari awkwardly. Then he stepped into his company building with Belinda behind him.

"Master's already had breakfast?" ask Arga.

"Oh, that's it. Come sir, I'll go first!" mentari. I was too tired to talk this morning. Without him knowing, there are a pair of eyes that stare softly towards Mentari who is near Arga.

"Bel, please ask OB to make me a cup of coffee!" pinta Mentari Belinda. He also rushed to ask one of the OB to make Mentari's order. It did not take long, an OB came in and put a cup of coffee on the Mentari table.

"Here, the coffee mama," the OB said.

"Yes, thank you!" said Mentari while smiling knot make the heart of the OG deg ser.

The OB just smiled. Just this time there was a boss who thanked him while smiling at him. The OB was amazed. In the pantry room, the OB was then telling stories with his colleagues. They are so enthusiastic and hope to have the opportunity to serve their beautiful boss sometime.

From the corner of the pantry, there was a shabby-clothed man who was brewing coffee. He daydreamed when he heard the praise for the praise of the people in the Mentari office.

'Why am I so stupid? Why did I let go of that dance? Try to be a husband and wife, my life must be ... ' Shandi glanced at her appearance. No more neat clothes, cool looks, and fragrant. Now he just looks shabby. 'Ukh .. My appearance is very chaotic. How to attract the attention of Dance again if my appearance is a tangled .'

"Sir, Mr. Shandi, the coffee is full of water! Mr ... Mr. Sandi," shouted one OB when he saw Shandi daydreaming until he was unaware the coffee he was brewing was full and spilled on the floor.

"Aaaaach ... " Shandi who had just realized then threw a cup in his hand whose water had first hit his hand. He screamed and hissed in pain from the heat radiating from his fingers to the back of his hand.

"Sir, is it okay?" ask the OB worried. Now several OB and employees filled the pantry in shock to hear Shandi's agony.

"My hand," he hissed with his hand to the sink and then flowed it with cold water to reduce the pain.

"This sir. It's a grilled ointment" the OB said. Shandi took the ointment and rubbed it on fingers exposed to hot water. He sighed, his mind too chaotic to be able to concentrate. And the source of the chaos is none other than his ex-wife.

It's at lunch. Mentari also invited Belinda to lunch at the company cafeteria. The reason is of course so that he is more familiar with the intricacies of the company and its own employees. He never went in and out of his company. Although he had entered there several times with a secret style, but he had not surrounded it and saw it directly in its entirety. But he certainly knows the intricacies of his company building because the building was built in cooperation with famous architects.

"Where are you going to have lunch?"

"Not yet Ma. He told me earlier, just say if mom wants to have lunch, later he followed," said Belinda gave an explanation.

"We go to Pak Galih's room first so we can go together to his canteen," asked Mentari. Then Belinda invited Mentari out of her room to the Galih room.

"Does darling bother you, Mr Galih?" mentari asked as his head poked out from behind the door making Galih jerked then glared sharply. But it was just a joke, after which he chuckled.

"You're still as nosy as you used to be. Not changed, but .... remains adorable," Galih continued while closing the screen of his laptop.

Mentari poked her lips, "still childish dong!"

"No, you're not a child at all. Your nature is very wise and mature. The proof, you can build this company to this size even though it only works from behind the scenes. But yes indeed your face is the same nosy nature you are still adorable, at least you can stay sane after the storm hit your life," Galih gave a defense. Of course he knew how great his foster sister was. Thanks to Mentari also he can improve his life for the better. Taught his younger siblings to college, raising both parents. He has a wife who is his own former secretary. All thanks to who else if not Mentari. The meeting, which began as both workers at a furniture factory in Malaysia, then continued until mandated to lead a business that Mentari built with his savings during his work as TKW, then continued to work, he really felt very lucky to be met with a person like Mentari.

"Yes, lose dong crazy because of them. Mending I enjoy life, myself no papa, as long as there are you I am happy," said Mentari but sounded sad in Galih's ear.

Imagining Mentari only living alone, without a companion or protector, makes Galih full.

"Aren't you traumatized by a household?"

Mentari spread his shoulders, "who is the brother who will accept me? My shortcomings are too many, I'm not sure anyone will accept me sincerely. Even if there is, not necessarily his family," said Mentari indifferently while looking at the small family frame Galih. Mentari smiles at the photo where Galih's wife is holding a one-year-old baby and Galih embraces his wife's shoulder from the side. Their smiles are wide. The sparkle of happiness was radiated in the netra of both. The baby laughs that look so adorable.

In the past, he had dreamed of having a portrait like that, but. Up to 5 years of marriage, he was never given the confidence to hold a baby. Although in his examination he was declared fertile, either because of the doctrine of the ex-husband and his family, he became pessimistic if he was barren. Evidently, though the relationship of Shandi and Erna not long but they will be blessed with a baby.

"Kak Galih must be very happy to have a complete family. There's a father, a mother, a sister, and now a wife and a son. Not like I am ... "

Mentari's eyes are reddened. Maybe he wouldn't be this bad if he still had other family members, but in this world he really is a kara. His parents were also an only child. He was also born without a brother. And after they were gone, he became completely alone.

'It looks like I was destined to live alone in this world.'

Although Jervario stated yesterday that she cares about him, but she believes that it is only a form of caring as a friend or because she is good friends with Jervario's twin brother. So he did not want to think too much about the meaning of Jervario's words. He was already insecure with himself and he did not expect anyone to accept himself with all his shortcomings.
