My Old Star
#14 Awkward
Mentari quickened her pace to return to the room, her heart was very uncertain. Not knowing what the girl was feeling at the moment, she hurriedly walked into the bathroom to clean herself up. Debaran inside his chest felt so fast, only this first time he felt so close to a man, let alone a mature man who is now his lover.
"My heart please make peace," muttered Mentari holding her chest which continued to rumble.
Finished with his activities in the bathroom, Mentari felt hungry. However, he felt hesitant if he had to go out to eat with Arfan and his colleagues even though Arfan had called him to dinner together, for now Mentari felt not ready to meet with Arfan. Although he was actually willing to dodge however he would definitely meet her as well. In the midst of his anxiety, there was the sound of people knocking on his bedroom door.
An awkward feeling enveloped the two when Mentari opened the door and the one who appeared in the doorway of the room was Arfan. A split second both of them just silently stared.
"Uhuk..uhuk..," Arfan broke the silence with his made-up cough.
"Can I come in?" ask Arfan then.
"I-iya can be sister."
Arfan went into the room, "Why don't you go out for dinner?"
"I'm not hungry Brother" replied Mentari lying.
Kriuuukkkk.
"Your stomach can't lie Little Mentari," Arfan said with his flat tone as he crossed the sofa.
'Silver why you can not be invited to cooperate, ' Mentari grumbled in his heart.
Mentari's face was like a boiled crab, "Let's take you to the wind outside!" Arfan got up from his seat and pulled Mentari's hand to carry him outside.
In the corridor they cross paths with Mona who stares cynically at Mentari, but is meek towards Arfan.
"Hi Fan, where are you going?" his question seemed to be very familiar with Arfan.
"I want to get out" replied Arfan flatly.
"really?"
"Can I come?" her door.
Mentari looked at Arfan, "Sorry we just want to be alone," replied Arfan did not want any interference between them.
"Well, I'm so happy when I want to buy you guys a meal,"
"Should you comment if Brother's coming?" Mona turned to Mentari with no shame when clearly Arfan had rejected it earlier.
"Sorry Brother, I follow what Kak Arfan said, just" Mentari replied politely.
"Oh well, then next time!" mona said that she was really disappointed.
"Let's go!" invite Arfan to Mentari who then passed leaving Mona in the corridor without saying goodbye to the woman.
"See you guys, just look I'll make you regret ignoring me!" Mona stomped her feet and then turned her destination, actually Mona wanted to go to Mentari's room to disturb her a little.
Now Arfan and Mentari have arrived at the city square, they decided to walk because the distance between the hotel and Dawet Ayu city square is not too far away so it can be reached on foot, the atmosphere of a bright night full of stars makes the atmosphere of this night more romantic.
"Let's go to Banjarnegara culinary center, aren't you hungry?" Arfan took Mentari's hand to take her to the place in question.
Banjarnegara culinary center is located not far from the city square, this place we can find from the south square precisely in the south red light we live straight to the east and only about fifty meters away we will find the place that being on the left side of the road if we walk from the west, in this place can be found a variety of typical Banjarnegara food with a taste that is guaranteed not to disappoint coupled with affordable prices, so this place is suitable to be used as a place to taste a variety of foods with a variety of choices.
Mentari ordered the food he wanted while Arfan only ordered drinks because he had dinner at the hotel.
They returned to the square to enjoy the night, the atmosphere of the square was quite crowded because many children and adults were playing there.
Mentari took several photos of the two of them in various places, including in the statue of Dawet Ayu which is the symbol of this city.
Now they are sitting under a banyan tree with lights illuminated in various corners of the square.
"Little comment" Arfan called because Mentari was still busy with her phone looking at the photos they took earlier.
"Yes Kak," replied Mentari still focused on staring at the screen of his phone.
"Tomorrow it may be a day of practice, if tomorrow you play alone will it be okay?" arfan said a little hesitant if he had to let Mentari go alone.
"Sister.you don't have to worry too much about me, just focus on your training Brother, I'll be fine." Mentari tried to convince Arfan.
"I can handle it, don't worry too much like that. Am I not an independent girl? The proof is that I can get here without getting lost" said Mentari proud of himself, as soon as Mentari remembered the incident earlier this afternoon between himself and Arfan.
The mentor suddenly fell silent, "Why silence?" Arfan looked at Mentari confused.
"Let's go back to the hotel, brother, it's late." Mentari avoided answering Arfan's question by diverting the conversation.
They returned to the hotel on foot, there was no more conversation between them until they reached their respective rooms. Mentari entered his room, as did Arfan. When Mentari was about to lay himself in bed after finishing cleaning himself, the sound of the door on knock from the outside was very loud and sounded very impatient.
"Yes for a moment" said Mentari from the inside then got up to rush to open the door and how surprised Mentari was because there was Mona in front of his room.
"Sir Mona, what's wrong, sister?"
"Can I come in?" mona ketus.
Mentari let Mona into her room, "Where is she?"
"What is Brother saying?" Mentari scrunched his forehead because he did not understand what Mona meant.
"Generic!"
"Sir Arfan is in his room, brother, it's wrong to look for him here."
"There's no way you're gonna hide it, right?"
"Let's quickly tell me where Arfan is!" Mona combed every corner of Mentari's room to the toilet and wardrobe.
"No how many more times do I say, if Brother Arfan is in his room."
"Don't lie to you Mentari, didn't you guys just walk into this room together?"
"We're not a halal couple yet, so it's impossible if we're one room together."
"Sister should come out now because I want to rest, if there is a need with Kak Arfan can just contact him and ask him where he is." Mentari expelled Mona and gave her advice.
"Then you call him now and prove that Arfan isn't in this room."
"Who's afraid, brother,"
Mentari contacted Arfan by making a video call, "What's the matter little Mentari, have you missed me?" arfan said without brakes as soon as he shifted the green button on his phone screen. This suddenly makes Mona's heart hotter because Arfan can be gentle to Mentari, but different if with him Arfan seemed very thin and cold.
"Sorry Brother, I just want to ask Brother now where there is because there is someone who wants to know the whereabouts of Brother."
"I'm in my room, I'm going to do a video conference with a club in Spain."
"Who's looking for me?" ask Arfan then.
Mentari pointed the screen of his phone at Mona so that Mona's face looks that makes Arfan sick.
"What are you doing in Mentari's room?"
"I'm looking for you, who knows if anyone would intentionally pervert here."
"You're talking about Mona, you think we don't have morals until we have to do such immoral things, huh?!"
"I'm just in case, as the person in charge of the event, I don't want to because you guys are our show getting messy!"
Mona gives back Mentari's phone, upset that she can't find any evidence against them. Mona came out of Mentari's room by slamming the door that made Mentari tiptoe.
"He is like that, don't take it too hard."
Mentari just nodded, 'They may already be very familiar, so that Kak Arfan can talk like that, ' Mentari thought.
"You rest, play as much as you can tomorrow!"
"I have to meet now with the club,"
The call was stopped and Mentari pulled her blanket to sleep. However, his eyes refused to close.
