My Old Star
#15 Mona's Attitude Change
Midnight Mentari can only sleep, being far from his place which should make him unable to do anything even though his heart feels uncomfortable, at this time he will usually tell with Siska, who is not comfortable, spilling all his complaints. However, now he could only stare at the ceiling and breathe out in order to be a little relieved. There are too many questions in Mentari's brain about Mona and what it has to do with Arfan.
Early in the morning Arfan knocked on Mentari's room, "yes for a moment" said Mentari from inside with her hair still wet because Mentari had just finished her morning bath and was drying her hair.
"Sir Arfan, what's wrong, sister?"
"Let's go for a walk ahead!" take Arfan on the doorstep.
"Isn't there a full morning workout today?" ask Mentari wonder.
"Just walk ahead, you'll love it!"
Arfan pulled Mentari's hand after the girl tidied herself up and took her for a walk around the hotel. They headed south, looking closer the flow of the Serayu river that will empties into the dam of Grand Commander General Sudirman or commonly called the Merica reservoir, which is one of the sources of hydroelectric power in Banjarnegara Regency.
"How do you like it?"
"Like it, the air is very clean, shegerrr..," Mentari smiled sweetly, her annoyance last night as if treated with a sight that made her heart cool.
"If there is time, before going home I will take you to Dieng" promised Arfan.
"Come away from here?"
"Two hours drive,"
"Let's take a photo there!" point Arfan at the mock Liberty statue in the garden.
In addition to the Statue of Liberty, they also took pictures at the statue of the Merlion symbol of Singapore, the Dutch Windmill and last visited the imitation of the Kaaba of Saudi Arabia. Walking here as if you are traveling to several countries, even though it is only a symbol of the country.
"Are you happy?" arfan asked as they stood on the guardrail by the river Serayu.
"It's so good, brother, thank you for always making me happy."
"Little comment, I can't present anything to you but trust me if this heart will only fill your name now and whenever," Arfan ruffled Mentari's hair, bringing the girl into his arms.
Arfan saw the figure of Zaky from a distance being with Tomi, they seemed to be chatting seriously seen from the faces of the two who were tense.
"Your son's grown up now, he's safe with his mother so I beg you never to waste their lives again after you've thrown him out!" tomi said to Zaky.
"He's my flesh and blood, and you're just Dad. You have no right to forbid me from meeting him!" said Zaky is no less fierce.
"Dad..you said dad huh?! Tomi blocked the collar of Zaky's shirt.
"Do you know how Sania suffered when you threw her away, ignoring her until her son had to be born without a father figure!"
"Give me a chance to fix it,"
"Please if Sania and Steven are willing to accept a selfish Zaky, for the sake of your career throw them away!" Tom covered his face with his palm.
It was then that Arfan and Mentari arrived at the place of those who were having a great fight. Mentari followed Arfan, he did not know anything about the problems that occurred, but not with Arfan who knew very well how the point of their problems that could not be separated from his bad memories ten years ago.
"What is this Tom?"
"Just ask the selfish man!" As Tomi walks away, Arfan chases Tomi and leaves Zaky alone.
"Sister Zaky apologizes for the first dance, sister," said Mentari's polite then pursued Arfan and Tomi's steps.
Entering the hotel lobby, Tomi sits in a chair.
"Tom..are you okay? This is a drink first!" Arfan handed her a bottle of mineral water to make Tomi a little calmer after drinking it. Arfan took a seat next to Tomi.
Arfan gave Mentari the code to sit with them.
"I'm sorry Fan, I can't be professional this time."
"No need to think about Tom, I know you must be very ill at accepting this harsh reality."
"I don't want him to take Sania and Steven out of my life, he can't take them." Tomi rattled her hair in frustration.
"Keep them as much as you can Tom, but never stop Steven from knowing who his real father is!"
"It's time we practice, let's go to the field!" take Arfan to Tomi.
"Regarding this incident, I'll tell you later. I go first yeah," Arfan ruffled Mentari's hair slowly before leaving her to the futsal court.
Mentari nodded then went to his room to clean himself, Mentari came out of the room to take a walk outside. He wanted to watch a movie not far from the hotel. Her small steps came to a halt as Mona suddenly appeared in front of her with a kindly fluffy smile.
'It is not usually Mona like this, ' thought Mentari because of the change in Mona's attitude that feels odd in her mind.
"Where are you going Mentari?"
"I'm going for a walk in front of you, sister,"
"Come with Brother" Mona smiled cunningly.
"I play alone Kak, it will be troublesome if you have to accompany me," declined Mentari smooth.
"I want to buy you, how?"
"Let's just come along, don't hesitate so." Mona forces Mentari to come with her. Mentari actually wants to tell this to Arfan, only he does not want to disturb Arfan's mind especially if he knows he went with Mona.
"We'll watch, then we'll eat!"
Like Mentari's plan at the beginning, he did want to watch the cinema just why now you have to be with Mona. There was nothing suspicious about Mona while watching the movie, she was very friendly and very kind. Mona told me a lot about herself until now, including meeting Arfan at first.
Now they are in a saung for lunch, the atmosphere here is quite beautiful many trees and also a fish pond with colorful fish. Mona ordered a lot of food for Mentari and herself.
"Why so much?"
"It's okay to assume I'm being kind to you, let's eat!"
Mona again mentioned Arfan when they were eating food.
"When did you meet Arfan?"
"Not so long ago Brother, met accidentally in a bookstore, after that he always just met." Answer honestly Mentari.
"Do you like it?"
"Of course I like him Brother, he's a very good young man."
"Did your parents approve of it? Aren't your ages far away?"
"Grandmother Wijaya loves me very dear Brother,"
"Then what about your parents?"
"They will definitely support whatever will be my decision, Sis," Mentari answered each of Mona's questions innocently, because that's how Mentari is always.
"Do you know if Arfan has another lover?" mona is provoking.
"Who does not know Arfan, a former athlete with good achievements, handsome anyway," continued Mona.
Mentari shook his head, "I didn't know it was Kak,"
"Fix Arfan has lied to you,"
"Who is Arfan's other lover, brother?" tanya Mentari wanted to know, despite the doubts in her regarding this matter. The Arfan he knew was not the type of person who liked to play with women's hearts.
"I'm Mentari" pointed Mona at herself.
"Then why did Brother Arfan just cheat on you and why was Brother Mona good to me?"
Mona laughed, "You know being Arfan's lover must be good at carrying away, like the occasional kite pulled occasionally stretched out so as not to be interrupted, she said, likewise, my attitude towards you if I don't behave well, of course Arfan will be angry with me."
A smart mentor of course understands that, his heart is breaking right now. 'Is it true that Arfan lied to me?' his heart was clucking, but Mentari tried to stay calm.
On the other hand Arfan fretted because he did not find the existence of Mentari, he had checked in several places but did not find his little Mentari. He recalled that if Mentari's phone had been connected to his phone, he immediately checked the whereabouts of Mentari at this time.
'Why go far enough he didn't tell me?' Arfan scrunched his own forehead.
Arfan rushed to the place where Mentari is now, the worry fell on Arfan considering that Mentari did not know this city very well, worried that Mentari was with the wrong person and would harm him.
