Love Is Hurt (Wedding Polygamy)
S2. Mother's Advice
Susanti smiled at her son who looked painstakingly cutting vegetables to prepare the host's dinner.
"Son," call Susanti.
"Yes, ma'am" replied Mentari with a warm smile.
As the name suggests Mentari, this girl every time she smiles is able to attract the attention of people let alone the glare of her glowing and shady eyes.
"May I talk to you about something?" susanti Pinta.
"What do you want to say?" tanya Mentari was busy with vegetables in her hands.
"Mother attention the more you get closer to Mr. Divta," Susanti glanced at her daughter with a smile.
"Just a job, ma'am," replied Mentari. His feelings began to worry when the mother asked about his relationship with Divta.
"No, I don't want to organize, you better not get too close to the Divta Pact. I don't want to misunderstand later. You know, don't you? If we're ordinary people, I'm afraid that feelings that shouldn't even be there bind you later. However, Pak Divta is a widower and a normal man and you are also a woman who is in adulthood. If you continue together it is impossible that feeling can grow later," explained Susanti advising her youngest daughter. It's nothing, he just doesn't want his daughter to get hurt.
Mentari fell silent while thinking about her mother's words. For some time now, he and Divta have been very close as friends. The man approached her intentionally. Although Mentari tried to avoid.
"Yes, Mom. Dari understand," said Mentari.
Susanti smiled, "Son, look for a man who fits our level. The parents also accept and appreciate us. I don't forbid you from connecting with anyone, just that I don't want you to get hurt." He rubbed his daughter's shoulder.
"Yes, Mom. For the time being Dance has not thought about romance. Dance wants to go to college, graduate and get a decent job. Dance doesn't want Mom to work anymore. Doain Tari ya Bu," said Mentari smiling.
Susanti smiled. He overhears Ferdy and Melly's conversation saying that Divta will be introduced to his friend Melly's son. Susanti just doesn't want her son to get hurt knowing that degrees separate between feelings and reality.
"Yes, let's continue cooking," asked Susanti.
Mentari nodded and continued his cooking. Honestly for a few days he felt comfortable close to Divta especially when the man said that he was a prospective husband Mentari. However, what his mother said was indeed true that their degrees were much different. Divta is a star in the sky that is difficult to reach, while she is an invisible orangutan on earth.
Mentari and Susanti arranged the food on the table. It appears that the people of the house are walking towards the dining table including the twins.
"Mama," call Al and El.
"Yes Young Master. Come eat," take Mentari.
"Dance, come eat with us" asked Ferdy.
"No, Mister. I will eat in the kitchen later. I'm not hungry either," refused the gentle Mentari. I don't know why the mother's advice is still ringing in her head.
"It's okay, Dance. Come come eat with us" Melly said.
"Yes, Mama. Al wants to be bribed by Mama" continued Al.
"El too" continued El.
Mentari let out a long sigh, if it had been these two twins who asked him not to refuse. Moreover, seeing the funny and adorable face, it felt like he wanted to poke on the cheeks of the two little men.
Divta hid her smile. Mentari is a simple girl who is still innocent and young. His friendly and weak nature makes Al and El feel at home near him.
"Ta, next month Mama's friend Audrey's son returns to Kalimantan. Do you have time for a plan Mama wants to introduce you to?" said Melly in the middle of their meal.
"For what, Ma?" ask Divta not like it. Actually this is not the first time the mother introduced a woman to him and the man remains equally uninterested at all.
"Yes, who knows if you're a good fit" Melly said. "He's beautiful, Ta. Graduates of medicine again and the obvious origin is clearly the son of a rich man," explained Melly.
"Ta, why shut up?" ask Melly to see her son who did not respond at all.
"Yes, Ma. Just set the time," said Divta lazily.

Mentari woke up early this morning, and this morning she helped her mother prepare breakfast. After this he had to go to campus and take his motorcycle by riding an ojek.
"Mom, Dance is leaving, yes" said the girl kissing the back of the mother's hand.
"Yes, Son. Be careful," Susanti said.
Mentari deliberately left early he did not want to ride a car with Divta. His mother's words last night were like slapping at him.
"Dance" called Susanti before her son left.
"Yes, Mom?" Mentari.
"Remember the message Mother learned right and graduated on time," Susanti said smiling sweetly at her son.
Mentari walks out she's already booked an ojek online. The girl took a long breath. The conversation at the dinner table last night made him aware of one thing, if the degree was indeed decisive to be with someone.
"No, no Dance. You can't think of Divta sir. Remember you are different. He's a star in the sky while you're just an orangutan on earth." Mentari shook her head at all her feelings.
"Neng Dance?"
"Yes Mang, me," said Mentari with a warm smile.
"Please Neng." The online motorcycle taxi driver gave the helmet to Mentari.
Mentari took the helmet and climbed on the bike and put the helmet on his head.
"Why daydream, Neng? Start your morning with a smile not a daydream!" said the driver of the ojek online while chuckling slowly.
"It's okay, Mang. Life bias," replied Mentari smiling wryly.
Arriving in front of the campus gate, the girl immediately got off the motorbike and did not forget to pay the fare and returned the helmet to the driver.
Mentari let out a long breath and then he exhaled slowly. The village girl who was often in the bully walked inside. Seemed the atmosphere of the campus is still quiet, he did leave too early and there are no students who are just a few people.
"Conscious, Dance. You're a poor girl who fits well with the prince." Again he brushed off the shadow of Divta smiling at him.
Mentari cannot deny that near Divta he feels comfortable and calm and feels protected.
"Dance, comeon. Don't baper," he protested to himself. He continued to monologue himself while walking towards the library.
"Dance."
The girl looked over and smiled as she saw who was coming. A beautiful girl of Chinese descent and the son of a rich man and Mentari's only friend who wants to be friends with him.
"Tumben's coming fast?" ask him on Mentari.
