My Old Star
#102 Saving Taste
Zaki and Marryana resigned because it was late, Marryana had to go home to the apartment immediately. While Zaki already has to return to the club, he also has a lot of responsibilities like Arfan.
Zaki escorts Marryana first to make sure she is safe to get to where she lives, let alone that Marryana is the daughter of her boss, if anything happens to the woman, Zaki's history could end at the club and it is certain that his future will be bleak.
Upon arrival at the apartment, Marryana gets a message from an unknown number, she wants to ignore it but is worried that the message is important because the same number has contacted her many times.
It turned out that the message sent to him was from Bram who brought him out together tomorrow, Marryana did not answer the message because tomorrow she has a teaching schedule on campus and there is no way she will accept Bram's request just like that.
"Marry why are you so hard for me to get, whereas Mona, Queen and Maya all fell for me. Aren't you guys the same, but why are you so hard for me to take you with me just to go together?" Bram is upset and slams his phone into the bed.
"What is this, why do you seem so angry?" Mona enters the room just as Bram is throwing his phone.
"Ah no pity I'm just upset with my friend" Bram replied lying.
"Whose friend is Bram dear?"
"Well, if you dare to mess around, don't expect you to enjoy my money again!" threatening Mona to Bram, because all this time who lives Bram is Mona and also the two friends of Mona, instead Bram must be willing to follow their wishes, but Bram was more often with Mona because Mona was the one who gave him the most money.
At the club Arfan is still crowded with children and also Mentari who is playing with them. Mentari's habit of being at the club is like that, but all that makes him very happy.
Unlike Sania tonight who suddenly ranted after Zaki came home with Marryana.
Tomi himself sees a strange gurgle on his wife and follows the mother of one's child into his room.
"Why are you?" Tomi asked who was worried for his wife who was suddenly moody.
"I-I'm fine Tom, I'm just tired."
"Don't tell me you're still holding onto Zaki and you're not willing now Zaki is with another woman!" accuse Tomi because Sania is not as usual even Sania ignored her.
"Don't just accuse Tom, I'm just tired!"
"You're different Sa, I can see it."
"Enough Tom, don't extend this thing any longer. I'm gonna take a break. We'll talk tomorrow morning."
Sania chose to dodge, right now she just wanted to be alone. He did not want to hurt Tomi, he wanted to temper all that was turbulent in his heart. He must be able to beat his own ego because now he is happy with the small family he built with Tomi.
Sania also convinces herself that Tomi is the best boy for her and also the best father for Steven, because since he was a baby Tomi has loved Steven like his own biological child.
Tomi's sincerity makes Sania feel like she has to defend a man who is rarely found today. He always tries to convince his family that Sania deserves to be with him, the reason Tomi anyone deserves to have a past and can change for the better. Sania couldn't possibly waste Tomi since they had already gone this far.
Tomi chooses to leave the room because Sania insists on not talking to her tonight, Sania wants to be alone. Considering all the flavors that once existed and suddenly reappeared, it all seemed to dispel the hatred that had been embedded in the recesses of his soul for years.
He forgives Zaki, and begins to share his affection for Steven by uncovering the truth about his son's identity. However, the feelings that arise in him should not continue to be nurtured because it is the same that he will destroy his small family life and will hurt each other. Steven prioritizes himself now rather than his feelings for Zaki.
Steven did not have pith with Zaki because he was born without a legitimate marriage, but Steven has every right to know who his real father is and now Steven can accept Zaki as his father other than Tomi even though Sania isn't sure if Steven will forgive Zaki if he knows what he's been doing in the past, now the most important thing is the peace of Steven's soul so as not to interfere with the stage of growth and development as a child who does not deserve the consequences of what his parents did in the past.
Sania fell asleep in a cry she could not let out, her heart crumbling and hurting if she remembered her past, but why the pain could not beat his heart against Zaki who he had clearly buried deeply for the past ten years.
Arfan said goodbye to Tomi and also the children because they have to go home, Mentari was asleep on the sofa because too long waiting for Arfan who watched the children practice applying the strategy they had compiled.
They do not have much time to relax so Arfan must be extra in directing all players, closing the gap of players with the weakest capacity among his friends so as not to be targeted by opposing players.
Arfan lifted his wife's body into the car with the help of Dio who opened the car door.
"Maybe next time Tom, I have morning teaching hours so have to hurry, the time is not enough if tomorrow has to go home first because we do not bring any equipment." Arfan replied when he had put Mentari's body in the front seat and put a seatbelt for him.
"We go home first Tom, tomorrow talk to Sania when she's cheerful!" Arfan got into the car and left Tomi who still could not believe if it turned out Arfan noticed them so much detail.
Even in the morning, Mentari was shocked because he woke up and was already in his room when last night he slept on the sofa and was still at the club. Mentari heard splashing water from the bathroom, it seems Arfan was cleaning himself before performing his morning worship. The sun pulled back the blanket, the air felt very cold this morning.
"Are you awake, baby?" Sapa Arfan who saw Mentari sitting on the edge of the bed after returning from the mosque in front of an alley not far from their home.
"The brother who lifted me up here?"
"Of course, who else if not me." His answer revealed a smile while folding the sarong cloth he was wearing earlier when he went to the mosque.
"Am I too heavy?"
"That's not important baby because my bones are still strong to lift your body mass."
"What if I get fat?"
"That's not a problem!"
"Are you going to find another woman who--."
"What kind of speech are you doubting me as a husband?" Arfan was a little annoyed by the question from Mentari so that his tone slightly raised that made Mentari immediately speechless because he felt guilty early in the morning he had provoked a debate.
"Darling I'm sorry, now clean yourself up, pray the dawn first let it be fresher. I'll make breakfast." Arfan lowered his tone because he knew if his wife felt guilty and Arfan also remembered Sandra's doctor's message if pregnant women usually have a mood that often changes.
Mentari obeyed the words of her husband, rushed to clean up and worship in the morning.
As the sun came down to the kitchen, he saw that the stove was still burning with fried rice that was almost charred in the pan but Arfan was not there.
"Geez, what is this, why is Brother Arfan not there, where is he?" Her thought.
The sun turned off the stove for fear of a fire, black smoke billowing all over the kitchen.
Arfan was vomiting in the bathroom. Mentari rushed there to see her husband.
"Well, what's so nauseous?" Mentari's question was answered only with a nod by Arfan.
Mentari helps Arfan clean himself up, they go back to the kitchen.
"Sit down, brother, let me make breakfast."
"I'm not strong with the smell of the Mentari onion."
"Then you rest on the sofa, if breakfast is ready I will call you later."
Arfan suddenly grabbed Mentari, sniffed his wife's body odor and gradually felt her nausea begin to disappear and she felt very comfortable.
"Stay with me dear Mentari, keep by my side at all times."

Mentari was just about to convey if he got a message from Mr. Reza to immediately do research for his thesis, the possibility of Mentari must go out of town in the near future. But is it possible that he can do it because Arfan is like this? Can he part temporarily with Arfan who is not able to get far from him?
