My Old Star
#121 Remembering Grandma
"Have you been satisfied to hug someone's wife?" Arfan's voice made Riko hurriedly release her embrace towards Mentari.
"I'm sorry Sir, I never intended to snatch your wife. Suppose from the beginning I knew if Mentari had a husband then I would never have had hope for him. I really didn't mean that." I'm Riko to Arfan who smiles knot in the dark of the night with a glimmer of moonlight without being noticed by Mr. Kades' young boy.
"Have you ever asked Mentari?"
"I never asked him Sir and Mentari also did not reveal his identity."
"Didn't Mentari have submitted the documents when he came here?"
"Yes sir, I received the document as a form of licensing to do research."
"Then did you read it in detail?"
Riko shook his head then said, "I only read a glimpse of Sir because I was already fascinated with Father's wife when I first saw her."
"Oh my goodness, young people today are like that apparently."
"Once again please forgive me sir, I really don't know."
"Sister.pardon Riko, after all I was also wrong for not paying the slightest suspicion to Riko's attitude, but believe me because Riko's sincerity helped me so my work was almost completed." Mentari spoke up because she could not bear to see Riko who looked uncomfortable with Arfan's attitude.
"Alright Riko, I forgive you but if I see you holding my wife like that don't expect you to get into my class!"
"Well Sir!" answer Riko briefly.
Arfan invites Mentari inside who is followed by Riko behind them.
Tonight Arfan sleeps with Riko and Arman while Mentari can not sleep thinking Riko who apparently likes him.
"Why haven't you slept, dear Mentari?"
"It's almost morning, the pity that's in the stomach if his mother can't rest."
"Sis I feel sorry for Riko!"
"What's the problem Mentari?"
"The other night she indirectly said that if she likes me, I feel guilty about Sis."
"Booking is common, no need to think. Rest assured he will definitely find the right person for him someday he is still young, still a long way to find a soul mate who is destined for him."
"You're right Sis!"
"Let's go to bed Mentari!"
The next morning Arfan was ready with all the Mentari equipment, he targeted if today the Mentari work had to be completed so that tomorrow they could return to City Z.
Arfan plans to take Mentari and Siska to the location of the national match. He had just received word from Tomi if his team made it to the round of sixteen and today they will be back. Arfan hopes his team and Zaki's team can continue to advance to the final.
"Finally done, brother!" Mentari walked towards Arfan with her sweet smile.
"Clearly darling?"
"Yes, I think I want to go home tomorrow. I miss Grandma, Sister Sania and Steven."
"grandmother?"
Mentari nodded, "You're right, Grandma must miss us dear." Arfan hugged Mentari, he thought of a thing while remembering Grandma.
"Let's go back to Riko's house!" invite Arfan to everyone, this time Riko did not come with them. He decided to start studying because the semester exam was getting closer.
Mentari nodded, "Come on, sister!"
They all left the location that Mentari had been using for his research for several days.
"Hi you, is it true that you are Mentari?" A girl suddenly appeared to block their journey.
"Yes right, what's wrong?"
"Have we met before?"
"We've never met, I just want to warn you not to approach Riko because she's mine!"
Mentari frowned, in his heart he laughed a little because there was something that made him feel funny.
"Mbak listen carefully yes, Riko and I have nothing to do so Ma'am don't have to worry!"
"It was yesterday that Riko always followed you!"
"She's with us because she's trying to help."
"Yes right, after all we consider Riko to be like our own sister so where there might be a taste for her!" Siska who could not stand the attitude of the girl who confronted them spoke up.
"No way, it must be because you're Riko so reject me!"
"Riko says she likes a girl named Mentari, I often see you guys together in this place. I don't know what kind of work you guys are doing but you guys laugh a lot together, I envy seeing it!"
Smiling Mentari approached the girl and asked her to sit in the shade, "Sir, did you see the man standing there?"
The girl nodded, she softened as Mentari was being gentle to her.
"He's my husband Ma'am, so it's impossible if I like Riko any more I'm pregnant at the moment and the man is his father from a legitimate marriage."
"really?" The girl asked a little surprised.
"Yes, if you don't believe, just ask directly!"
"Oh yes, Ma'am, now you go home because we have to pack up soon to leave this village tomorrow."
"I'm sorry for being disrespectful to you, Mentari."
"Yes, don't worry, it's just a misunderstanding."
The girl who likes Riko eventually leaves them, Mentari takes her breath and then throws it away.
"Should I just handle it, baby?"
"Don't worry brother because I can handle it myself."
"Best of all, you're an independent mother candidate."
"Let's continue the journey!"
They arrived at the house of Mr. Kades who turned out to have Mr. Reza in the house, "Pak Reza when did you come sir?" Sapa Mentari to his lecturer.
"Newly Mentari, how are you. Is there a problem?"
"So far there are no obstacles, even today we have solved everything sir."
"really?"
"Good then!" Mr. Reza pointed his thumb at Mentari.
"Wuih you guys were followed up here apparently?" Continue Mr. Reza who then greeted Arfan and Arman alternately.
"Za can we talk to you for a second?" Pinta Arfan to Reza who agrees with Arfan's request to him.
They went ahead to talk to Arman and went with them, while Mentari and Siska said they were going home tomorrow.
"Are you guys not going home too soon?" Ask Bu Kades to Mentari and Siska.
"We still have a lot of work to do, ma'am, but we promise that we'll come back here sometime."
"Well son, I can understand."
Mentari and Siska then went into the room to immediately pack up, while outside Reza and Arman were listening to Arfan's intentions asking for their help.
"How's Za, is it like that?"
"I agree Fan, that's a good thing we can do for this Village."
"Arman please contact Uncle Faisal to prepare everything, I want the document to be signed tomorrow before we leave here!"
"Well, it's not hard!"
"Za tonight talk to Mr. Kades, I'm counting on you Za!"
The three of them agreed and carried out their respective tasks because it was a very narrow time and the idea only appeared in Arfan's mind last afternoon.
Arfan had contacted his grandmother and was immediately approved by the old woman.
In the evening Mr. Reza sat down to talk with Mr. Kades and spoke his point.
"Did I hear Mr. Reza wrongly?"
"No sir, if Mr. Kades agrees we'll take care of it immediately and make it happen in the near future."
"Thank you Mr. Reza because we need him the most."
"Don't thank me Mr. Kades but Mentari because she has a husband who cares deeply about others."
"Sir Arfan, did he give it to this village?"
"It's true sir, Mr. Arfan's family company will take care of everything. Mr. Kades just take care!"
Mr. Kades' eyes sparkled, he was very grateful because his hope all along would soon be realized.
"Once again thank you Mr. Reza we received it with open arms."
