Benalu In My House
FORTY SEVEN
A week has passed since Jervario expressed her heart and desire to challenge her. But Mentari has not been able to make a decision. It is not that he does not want to give an opportunity or what it is called, but the name of the wound and trauma is quite rooted in the recesses of his soul. The shadow of betrayal made him doubtful as well as afraid to step forward. It is not about betrayal of 1 or 2 days, 1 or 2 months, 1 or 2 years, but more than 5 years.
Mentari had fought and continued to survive despite the tempest hit the parents and family ex-husband continues to demean and ridicule him, but that he can be betrayal. Whose heart is not broken.
It is not easy to re-attach broken heart debris. It's not that easy. And it is not that easy to open the heart, while the wound still feels wet. They had just divorced in a matter of months, of course the wound still felt very wet.
The mentary needs time. Although the thump began to infiltrate the recesses of his soul, but it was not that easy for him to instantly open the wide door of that heart. Because the fear of injury and disappointment is still royal and deeply rooted.
It's not that Mentari wants to keep getting sick. Not Mentari wants to continue wallowing in grief and disappointment, but how else, this is a matter of the heart. This heart belongs to the creator and only the creator has the power to muffle all the suffering and disappointment, and reopen his heart to trust again. Mentari can only pray, may his heart soon be fine so that he can re-knit asa with the right person and can be trusted.

This afternoon Mentari had a meeting with his business partner from Semarang. They met at a restaurant in the XX hotel. This time he was accompanied by Arga and Belinda because this meeting did require Arga as the head of the planning and development division.
"Thank you Mr. Malik is ready to cooperate with us. Hopefully, our cooperation can be mutually beneficial" said Mentari while greeting his business partner.
"I should have said it was Madam Mentari. I'm so happy to finally have the opportunity to work with you. Hopefully in the future, our cooperation will be more solid and profitable for both parties," said his co-worker named Malik while shaking hands. "Oh yes, again I am sorry for not having lunch together because my wife suddenly did not feel well this afternoon. Then, excuse me," she said, bowing her body to Mentari and nodding her head at Arga and Belinda.
"Yes sir, it's okay. Surely your wife is in desperate need of you right now," said Mentari Friendly.
After Mr. Malik really passed, they also returned to sit in their respective places.
"We continue to eat, how? I'm already hungry. It turned out that the meeting this time was quite draining huh!" seloroh Mentari with a big smile.
Arga and Belinda nodded, then Arga snapped her fingers to get the waiters closer.
"What do you want Mentari's message?" ask Arga while presenting a menu list on Mentari.
"Emmm ... What is it?" gumam Mentari was confused. "Here you go, roasted honey chicken, capcay, just iced oranges." After the order was recorded, Mentari presented the menu to Arga and let Arga and Belinda order their food. After the orders of the two men were recorded, the waiters immediately passed to hand the list of orders to the chef of the restaurant.
"Mom, I'll let you go to the toilet for a second!" belinda.
Mentari nodded while smiling. Arga who sat at a table with Mentari was unable to turn his face. The charm of the young widow was indeed extraordinary to make the man flutter erratically.
When Belinda permission to go to the toilet, Mentari also chatted while waiting for his order to come. While chatting, suddenly there was a woman in sexy clothes who approached Mentari while throwing words full of ridicule.
"Heh, this is what you look like! It turns out that it is true my guess that you are just a nalaaang who likes to hook rich men and use their wealth. I'm sure you founded your company out of self-sell, shameless foundation. I'll make sure you get dumped by Mr. Jerva as soon as you see this as Mas Shandi dumped you."
Chalcis ...
cekka ...
cekka ...
Erna who has prepared her phone since then took several photos of Mentari with Arga. Instead of being afraid, Mentari even smiled widely and deliberately brought her body closer to Arga so that she seemed to be posing together. Arga made a confusion of his own.
Erna frowned when she saw that Mentari looked so relaxed.
"You who? Why did you suddenly come and mess up here?" hardik Arga does not like to see the existence of Erna who suddenly came and messed up.
"Already Mr. Arga, do not need to care about the existence of the crazy woman, later we can follow crazy," continued Mentari while smiling.
"You .. You're crazy. Yesterday with Jerva, now with another man, you cheap girl!" hardik Erna is angry because she was lunaticized by Mentari.
"Whose cheap is who, hm? A woman who would sleep with a married man or me who only had lunch with a man? You need to remember, I'm single and she's single, so what? It doesn't matter. Oh yes, I assure you 1 more, I ... NEVER THROWN AWAY. I WAS THE ONE WHO THREW AWAY THAT USELESS MAN. SO DON'T TALK CARELESSLY. Besides, why the hell did you bother taking care of my life anyway I just refused to interfere in your business. Even when you married my husband, I was willing to let go of him sincerely. You weird chick!" Mentari shook her head inexhaustibly with the nature of the wife of her ex-husband.
Arga blinked slowly, finally he knew who the strange woman who had suddenly approached their table was.
"Your attitude is completely outrageous miss. There's really no shame. Please get out of here before I call security to drag you out of here!" hardik Arga who has stood up while shaking his waist.
"Heh sir, I'm telling you, this woman you're dating is not a good woman. He has a relationship with many men to take advantage of his wealth so it's better you back off before you regret."
Mentari only noticed Erna without responding. He took his other phone and sent something to his former mother-in-law secretly.
'Finally, this photo is useful too. How did my ex-in-law react. Ah, I'm curious!' The sun chuckles to itself in the heart.
"If you don't know anything, you'd better shut up if you don't ... "
"Adrbghh ... "
"What are you doing, miss? Looks like you really like bothering our superiors!" hardik Belinda who has now locked Erna's hands behind her. "If you're not pregnant, I've already thrown you on the street!" lirih Belinda was full of intimidation in Erna's ears.
"Deliver!" yelled Erna beaver along waiters who came to deliver their orders and a hotel security.
"This lady's husband from here! He's already made our lady uncomfortable!" belinda insists on a man who is the hotel security.
"OK, miss. Come on, come on out!"
"I'm also a guest at this hotel you can't treat me like this!" peekik Erna did not accept when the officer dragged himself out of the hotel restaurant. "So, watch out for you! I assure you, Mr. Jerva will know your rottenness soon!" threaten Erna while glaring at her reddened eyes in anger.
"Please! Just like you," said Mentari stupid.
Meanwhile, at his home, Rohani looks confused when suddenly there is an incoming message in the form of a picture of a number that he does not know. He opened the message and widened his eyes.
"W-what? This ... is impossible. Erna probably only works as an SPG. This guy must be trying to slander Erna. This guy must be one of Erna's rivals in the office. She must be envious and want to slander my son-in-law," murmured Rohani in disbelief when he saw photos of Erna offering a car while explaining the specifications of a luxury car that was being promoted to some visitors at a car show some time ago.
"I'll prove it myself. I will also tell Erna to be careful because there are colleagues who want to slander her. Yes, I must immediately go to the car showroom who knows the culprit can be immediately given punishment," continued Rohani Yang immediately moved from his seat. He was soon prepared to bring the JV Showroom where Erna worked.
