My Old Star
#111 Signs of Farewell
Zaki arrived at the club and then headed to his room to change clothes even though he had taken a shower at Arfan's club this morning but from yesterday he did not change his clothes at all because he did not plan to stay so he did not bring anything when he went to visit Steven who turned out to be demoing to everyone at the club.
Zaki thinks he should pay more attention to Steven. He should be able to divide his time between working and also taking care of the child he missed for many years.
Both Sania, Tomi and Arfan have now accepted it to be part of their lives so Zaki cannot afford to waste the opportunity he has been waiting for a long time, being forgiven and at peace is Zaki's wish after his endless sense of regret.
Geck... Geck... Tock....
Someone knocked on Zaki's room door from the outside, right now Zaki is wearing his trousers so that Zaki's upper body is still plain. Zaki unhesitatingly told the person knocking on the door of his room to enter.
"...!!!" zaki orders by not seeing who is coming.
"Yahoooooooo!!!!"
Shouted Marryana who then turned around as soon as she saw Zaki's innocent chest.
Zaki who did not expect Marryana would come to his room then rushed to snatch the white T-shirt lying on the mattress and wear it to cover his upper body.
"Reverse I've put on my shirt!"
Marryana slowly lowered her hand while turning over and sure enough Zaki was not as innocent as before.
"I'm sorry Za, I didn't know you were changing clothes because you told me to come in."
"I'm sorry Marry, usually the one who knocks on my room is a man because there's no woman in this club except the cook and they never dare to go into my room."
"Other times I'll be more careful Marry, please forgive me for not meaning anything to you, I really didn't know if it was you Marry."
"It's Za, let's forget it just happened. I'm here to call you because Papi, Mami and the rest of my family have arrived. They want to say goodbye to you to go back abroad."
"Alright come!" Zaki takes Marryana out of the room.
Marryana's heart is still beating very fast, only this time he saw an athletic man like Zaki with the chest of his field that makes melted. Understandably because Zaki may be a former athlete and until now he is still in the field.
Marryana herself is often changing lovers when she used to live abroad but she still maintains her eastern customs, so as much as possible he kept his honor as a woman although it is undeniable that he had kissed with some men who became his lover, but his heart still belongs to Arfan until in the end he had to mengikhlaskan Arfan who had married Mentari.
Zaki and Marryana went hand in hand, sure enough they were waiting in the living room.
"You're just saying the hell, brother, calling just one person really long!" the protest of Marryana's younger brother who had wanted to go home abroad, accustomed since childhood there made the child not feel at home for long.
"Patient for a moment why the hell, brother could teleport. Need a road first time, need to go up the stairs, need to ngetok door first not origin enter!" marryana replied not to lose, in the mind Marryana again crossed the chest of Zaki field that she had seen. Marryana smiled to herself.
"But smiling brother himself must have happened something!" Marryana's sister looked at Zaki and Marryana in turn, she was suspicious of her brother.
"Brisik you ah little boy!" Marryana replied with a sewot then sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, Marryana was already a mature woman but she never wanted to budge with her sister.
"Have you guys been this close like cats and rats but if far apart kangen-angen, a day not telefon course there must be melek he said kangen." Mami Marryana broke up her son's quarrel which will soon be separated because of the distance between them.
Zaki sat down after being invited by Papi Marryana as well as the boss of the club he currently leads.
"I have signed this club and also Marryana my daughter, take care of her and this place I fully entrust to you both to manage it, I am old if I have to go back and forth here often it feels like this energy is no longer able to. I want to live quietly by taking care of companies that are abroad. But you don't have to worry if you need funds or anything remember quickly contact Papi ya Marry."
"Okay Pi" answered Marryana.
"But Boss..," Zaki seemed to have objected to the new task he had to shoulder going forward.
"No words but Za, I trust you. I've also seen your performance, now Marryana will be your partner in managing this club."
"Pi I still want to teach on campus!"
"The two can go together with Marry so there's no need to worry."
"Open-fire, take good care of yourself."
Marryana's family flew overseas on their private jet after her farewell at the club and also at the airport. Zaki and Marryana drive them to the airport and only leave the airport after they completely disappear from the sky of the city of Z.
Zaki was still ringing the words of Papi Marryana earlier when he hugged her as a sign of farewell, "If you love our daughter, marry her and never waste her. Tell us anytime you're ready!"
Zaki is surprised because he never thought that his boss would allow him to marry his daughter when among them there is no relationship more than a friend.
"Za why are you so dumb. I've noticed since you got out of the airport your face has changed." Marryana noticed Zaki who looked different as if he had a lot of thoughts.
"I-I'm fine Marry, I just don't know how to manage a club without a Boss. I've always followed the boss's instructions."
"Marry we'll pick Stev up before I get you home, I promised Stev we'd pick him up when we get home from school, how about while Stev finishes school we stop by the cafe near Stev's school." Zaki switched their conversation.
"I'm following what you said Za, I'm also missing Stev hasn't seen you in a long time." Marryana's face changed sharply when talking about Steven, she had liked the boy since she first met him.

Ilyas and Sania's mother are now in a taxi that will take them back to the club. There was no chatter between them, each of them busy with their thoughts that kept Ilyas in mind.
"Ilyas threatened?"
"Hmmm... Who threatened him?"
"Mo..., who exactly is he?"
Sania was monologuing in her heart, it was really hard to solve all of that. Pity is indeed Ilyas for being a victim due to being threatened by irresponsible people.
"Mother rest, I will prepare lunch for the children!" sania said when they got to the club.
"Mom will help you son, didn't you just get tired too."
"Alright then, we rest a little, Mom, after that we prepare everything, and Tomi also informed the possibility that they will go home a little late."
Ilyas' mother then went into her room to rest and perform dzuhur prayer because it was time.
While Sania tries to contact Arfan, she is very agitated because it all concerns Arfan and Mentari.
He wanted to tell her what he had heard earlier when he met Ilyas, but Arfan did not answer Sania's call.
Arfan had just dropped out of class and was preparing to head to the campus mosque before picking up Mentari. He did indeed touch his cell phone while teaching and had not had time to check it.
"Darling have you waited so long?" Ask Arfan when he was in front of the Mentari campus who was greeted with a sweet smile like usual Mentari.
"No, brother, I just finished."
"We go straight home, please cook a good one for me baby!"
Mentari smiled after taking a slow breath, she knew Arfan was like a child in a tantrum.
"I'll cook whatever you want, what do you want to eat?"
"I'll think about it while I walk, baby."
The two of them reached home, after putting the bag in the room and washing his hands Mentari went to the kitchen to cook. He checked the food stocks and started cooking.
No matter how long the cuisine is ready, Mentari calls Arfan who is relaxing in front of the television.
"Well it looks so good, dear" Arfan looked impatient to taste the Mentari cuisine.
"Let's eat a lot of big brother!" Mentari took food for Arfan and put it on a plate to give to her husband before taking it for herself.
They started eating and at the same time the doorbell of their house was pulled by someone.
"Let me see brother!" The sun stood up from his seat.
"I'm just, baby, you're still tired of just finishing cooking. You just eat a lot, baby, I'll see who's coming." Arfan prevents Mentari and tells her to sit back to continue her lunch.
Arfan went ahead to see who had come to their house. Arfan was shocked to see who was coming.
"Missy?" Surprised ask.
"Yes Fan, why? You must be surprised
how can I find your home address?"
"Would you like to come here?"
"Wouldn't Mentari leave because he had to do some research? You must be lonely, I can accompany you Fan." Mona said flirtatious want to touch Arfan's face but swiftly Arfan dodged.
"So you say Mona, it's not appropriate for a woman like you to say such an immoral thing!"
Mona ignores Arfan's remarks and thrusts her into the house without being invited to enter by the homeowner.
