LOVE THE CHILDREN OF JURAGAN
Not Wanting to Be Approached

Mentari was surprised to hear the words of Erdana.

"Er, did you not read the message I sent you? I didn't betray you, Er. Me and Prayuda ....."

"Please leave me!"

Mentari became more and more surprised. "But Er.....!"

"I want to be alone, Mentari."

The mentari looks upset. "You are so childish! 7 Years we were together, you should understand everything I feel for you. Why is our relationship so?"

"I beg Mentari. I have a meeting in half an hour."

"Is every problem we have got to believe in?" ask the Mentari with an annoyed look. He just arrived from Singapore. Although tired but he immediately came to this place in the hope that both of them can release the longing after a week more without seeing. But Erdana was suddenly selfish and did not want to listen to any explanation.

"Excuse me!" mentari quickly left Erdana's study. He even slammed the door in annoyance.

Arriving in the car, Mentari spilled all her grief by crying on the steering wheel of the car. He admitted, lately, he often canceled a promise among them because of his busy life as a fashion designer. At the end of the year he will perform a very large and magnificent fashion show. That is why Mentari will devote all his attention to this great event.

After his cry subsided a little, Mentari left the Furkan family office yard with a wounded heart. He's headed to his apartment. When he had parked his car in the third floor parking lot, Mentari went down and immediately pulled out his suitcase.

Suddenly the Sun returns feeling dizzy. He knows that his sleeping hours are very less in Singapore. That's why the girl slowly leaned her back on one of the poles.

"Dance? You why?" asked Prayuda who was suddenly at his side.

"Pra, I feel a little dizzy."

Prayuda immediately pulled the Mentari suitcase while his one hand was directly coiled on Mentari's shoulder. "You can walk to your unit? Or should I carry it?"

"I walk" said the weak Mentari. He felt that his head hurt.

Prayuda led Mentari to doorstep number 3002. After opening the existing door, Prayuda helped Mentari get in and laid her on the sofa.

"I'll get you some water." Prayuda headed to the kitchen and took a glass of water for Mentari.

"Drink!"

The sun immediately drained the water in the glass, then immediately laid his body on the sofa.

"You just finished crying?" ask Prayuda.

"Erdana misunderstood us. He thought I was cheating on you when I got dizzy in front of the lobby at the time."

"Why does Erdana have to misunderstand us? Let me explain to him."

Mentari opened his eyes. "You want to do it?"

"of course. We've been friends for a long time. Erdana should have been convinced that I couldn't possibly ruin our friendship by cheating on you."

Smiling mentari. "Thank you, Pre."

Prayuda's phone rang. He picked it up when he saw Lisa's name there.

"What's up, baby?" Prayuda then walked away for the next conversation. Lisa is Prayuda's girlfriend who lives in Bandung. Lisa is a flight attendant. If the girl called Prayuda, she would be in Jakarta.

************

Erdana was standing in front of her car, she is now in medical school. He was waiting for Yasmin. A few days ago he tried to meet Yasmin at home but Gayatri refused to bring them together because Yasmin did not want to meet with Erdana. And now, Erdana is here to meet with Yasmin. His heart was still filled with guilt.

Erdana's appearance wearing cloth pants and a blue shirt rolled up to her arms, even sunglasses perched perfectly on her nose makes Erdana invite the attention of some girls passing in front of her. Erdana looks a little agitated. But he was immediately relieved when he saw Yasmin who was walking alone.

"Yasmine....!" call Erdana.

Yasmin was surprised to see Erdana who was already waiting for her.

"What are you doing here? You know that I don't want to see you again?" Yasmin tried to hold back her emotions and said with a slow volume of voice because she did not want to invite the attention of the people who were there.

"I just want to know how you are, Yasmin. I feel so guilty. I sinned against you." said Erdana while opening her sunglasses.

Yasmin did not want to be touched by what Erdana said even though she could see how the eyes of the man looked regretful.

"Go! Don't ever see me again. Let's just say nothing happened between us. I don't want to hate you any deeper" Yasmin said without looking at Erdana. Looking at the man's face made him think back to what Erdana had done to him.

"Darling.....!" Andre suddenly appeared between them. She placed her hand on Yasmin's shoulder. "Something's going on?"

"of course. Who does not know Erdana Furkan. His girlfriend Mentari. Kak Mentari is a young designer who is my mother's subscription. The plan is very good." Andre said with a smile.

"So Erdana is looking for our lecturer, doctor Prayuda" Mentari said with a smile.

"Oh, I saw that Prayuda's doctor was in the lecturer's room" Andre said.

"Thank you." That's all Erdana can say.

"We go first, yes." said Yasmin while pulling Andre's arm.

Erdana stared at their departure with a feeling she could no longer describe. He knew that Yasmin must not have told Andre about the rape. Because if it was, Andre would have thrown his fist at Erdana.

Feeling sad, Erdana intended to leave the parking lot but Prayuda's call restrained his steps.

"E.....!"

Erdana actually wanted to get straight into her car but Prayuda held her hand.

"Er, please listen to my explanation. Don't get me wrong with what you saw that night."

Erdana looked at Prayuda with a gaze full of anger. "I don't want to listen to your explanations."

"Sick commentary, Er."

Erdana's hand holding the doorknob of her car came off.

"What do you mean?"

"That night, Mentari and I met at a mini market near the apartment. He said he wanted to buy a snack because you were coming. When we went home together, Mentari suddenly got dizzy. I hugged her tightly and because she fell suddenly, maybe in your sight we kissed. You can check the CCTV in front of the apartment lobby. I checked it yesterday. From your point of view it might seem like that. Yesterday, Mentari was also dizzy. I persuaded him to go to the hospital but he wouldn't."

Erdana looked at Prayuda. Trying to find the truth out of the guy's eyes.

"I'm not lying, Er. I did love Mentari, but I realized that her heart was only for you. Although I may have intended to take it, I know Mentari's love is only for you."

Erdana closed her eyes. Trying to remember the events of that night. If only he had not been blindly jealous and went straight to Prayuda and Mentari that night, he would not have had to get drunk and rape the innocent Yasmin.

"I'll go first." Erdana soon left Prayuda alone. His mind became more chaotic when he found out that Mentari was sick.

**********

Mentari massaged the base of his nose. His head hurt and he felt that his body was a bit weak.

"Drink!"

The sun saw a bottle of mineral water outstretched before him. "E....!"

"Drink and we'll go to the doctor."

"E.....!"

"Prayuda told me everything. I'm sorry I accused you."

The sun hugged Erdana while crying. He was happy because Erdana was no longer angry with him. He felt so messed up that Erdana didn't care about him at all.

Erdana was relieved to be able to hug the woman she loved again. "Now let's go to the doctor."

"I'm fine, Er. My only cure is you." Mentari let go of her embrace. The face of the man she loved so much. "Let's go! I've been so hungry and missed you so much."

"To my apartment when I'm done eating."

Smiling mentari. He understood the meaning of Erdana's gaze. The two left Mentari's boutique hand in hand.

**********

Month passed....

Yasmin's hand shook holding a flat object in her hand. His heart stopped beating. His head shook with tears directly drenching his smooth cheeks when he saw that there were two red lines on the object he was holding.
