Mentari arrived at the city station Z at about five in the morning, his body felt sore because it was on the train all night, although he can rest by closing his eyes but in fact his ears and brain are still working actively so that today is a day with a true definition of tired.
Mentari walked out of the station to look for a taxi to the dormitory and who would have thought there was Ilyas with his best smile welcoming Mentari so blindly early, Mentari did not even know if Ilyas would pick her up.
"Why are you here?" Ask Mentari.
"I came to pick you up on purpose, you must be tired, let me take you to the hostel so you can rest first,"
Mentari followed Ilyas into the car, Mentari was not happy if he refused Ilyas who was willing to pick him up early this morning.
The demonstration event of their research results is scheduled at thirteen noon so that Mentari can take a break to just let go of his drowsiness, Mentari certainly did not want to disappoint their mentor Pak Reza and his group of friends who had been struggling and passing many obstacles and difficulties together. After all, he will fight with them until the end.
"Why don't you get out of town tell me about Dance?" Tanya Ilyas broke the silence that was suddenly created between them, whereas previously Mentari would be very chatty, perhaps it was because he was tired at the moment or some other reason because Ilyas had once expressed his blatant feelings towards him.
"I suddenly went Yas,"
"Is it because of your uncle?"
"Which uncle is Yas?"
"Oh that doesn't mean yes, that young man isn't your uncle?"
"Emmm Yas..already near the dorm, I should just get off here, yes, it's not good in the morning among men like this," Mentari tried to divert Ilyas's questions.
"Well if it's for you to Tar" Ilyas stopped the car he was driving.
"I got off first yeah, thanks for driving me, sorry to be a hassle. See you later in the afternoon, Yas," Mentari rushed down from the car, stepping towards the dormitory which was still about fifty meters ahead.
"Well Dance, I'll wait for how strong you are in the age-different relationship you are in right now" Ilyas told himself, Ilyas hitting the steering wheel of his car, he felt that he had lost to the man Ilyas considered old and inappropriate with Mentari because he deserved to be called uncle by Mentari and himself, but the man was even able to make Mentari have to go that far to follow his steps.
Ilyas turned his car back to the son's dormitory, while Mentari had been inside the dormitory along with Siska. Mentari will take a nap before preparing himself for the demonstration later in the afternoon. In an instant Mentari had been reviewed, Siska shook her head to see the behavior of Mentari who she spoke to but did not respond turned out to have entered into a dream.
"You must be tired of Mentari," Siska enveloped Mentari's body and rushed out of the room to find breakfast for her and also Mentari if she woke up later.
Meanwhile, Arfan who had recovered from his fever last night was with his team and is still in Banjarnegara today to complete their last activity. However, today's event runs faster than the predetermined schedule.
Arfan tried to contact his little Mentari many times and there was no response at all from the girl, Mentari also seemed to forget with Arfan's message to him to give news when he had reached the city of Z. Of course Mentari forgot because he intended to call Arfan after taking a taxi, but who would have thought Ilyas picked him up this morning.
Arfan decided to bring his team home this afternoon, but according to plan tomorrow they will just return. Tomi agreed with Arfan's decision because the day after tomorrow some of them had to go back to school and campus as usual, so that tomorrow they can still rest a day at the club.
Arfan decided to go home earlier this afternoon by plane because he was worried that something might happen with Mentari because he was the one responsible for this, because he is the one who makes Mentari must go and go home alone with a long journey.
"Tom get the kids, yeah, I'll go first."
"Look down Fan, they're my business you're after your love!" Tomi laughed at Arfan who had put up his sour face.
"Remember don't cause any more trouble with Zaky here!" arfan's Message to Tomi.
Tomi just smiled bitterly considering her problem with Zaky, "Just trust me Fan, you go!"
Arfan was intending to leave but Mona was closing in on him, "Fan where are you going, isn't your return tomorrow?"
"It's none of your business, Mona, my business here is done!" answer ketus Arfan.
"I'm not interested!" Arfan rushed away from Mona and Tomi who actually laughed at Mona who was wriggling tempting Arfan like a fur caterpillar nervous but unfortunately Arfan even ignored it.
"Can stop no!" sadistic word Mona.
"Oh yeah sorry.sorry, excuse me!" Tomi leaves Mona who seems very upset.
'My house devised a plan and made the event complete sooner if at the end he left first! Watch out for you Mentari, you made Arfan ignore me!' inner Mona cursed and berated Mentari, but Mentari in this case is not at all to blame.
Mona ruffled her hair and stomped her feet on the floor. Mona has actually devised a plan to bring all those who follow the activities in Banjarnegara to have fun according to her version, after which she will trap Arfan into her arms, but all that had to fail because Arfan decided to go back first.
Even though Mona has spent a lot of money on her plan because the event she made is outside their agenda, so that outside the budget that has been budgeted.
"Arfan for sure I'll get you, don't expect to get away with me!" mona said to herself, do not ask how Mona's current face is more precisely like hot lava coming out of a volcanic eruption.
Arfan had arrived in the city of Z at about four in the afternoon, as well as Mentari who had completed his research demonstration very satisfactorily, many who praised the results of the Mentari group's research.
Now many of the people who witnessed how they had been doing demonstrations asking for signatures or just asking for a photo together as a memento.
Mentari was so busy serving their impromptu fans that they did not realize that Arfan was in front of him. Mentari signed a note that was presented to him without knowing if Arfan was the one who gave the note.
"Who will allow you to fulfill their request to take a picture together and sign a signature?" Arfan's megnetis voice makes Mentari jumped in shock and happy because she did not expect that Arfan was already in town Z today.
Reflect ment woke up from his seat while covering his mouth using both hands, a sense of happiness immediately erupted in his chest. The radiant face of Mentari when looking at Arfan is different when looking at Ilyas or others, especially if Mentari loves the young man in front of him from the deepest recesses of his heart and Ilyas who sees him is aware of it.
"Did you miss me little Mentari?" asked Arfan with a smile.
Siska who was near Mentari nudged the elbow of the girl to immediately realize from her admiration for the young man of different age who is now in front of her.
The mentor scratching his non-itchy face felt clumsy with Arfan's question.
"Would you like to have dinner with me?" connect Arfan.
Mentari looked towards Siska who actually gave the code for Mentari to accept Arfan's invitation.
Mentari nodded, "Yes I will," Mentari replied shyly.
"But I have permission first with Mr. Reza,"
Incidentally at that time Mr. Reza approached them, "Hi Fan long time no see, you are getting handsome," Mr. Reza joked.
"Did any of my students catch your attention?" Tempted Mr. Reza, while Mentari was worried because Mr. Reza had glanced at him.
"How are you doing Za?" Arfan hugged Reza's shoulders, adding to the familiarity between them.
"I'm good Fan," Mr. Reza looked at the watch behind his shirt.
"My student body is fine. I say goodbye because there are things that can not be postponed, if there is another time we drink coffee together," Mr. Reza left them all.
Siska also said goodbye with Ilyas and others, now only Mentari and Arfan who still exist in that place.
"Come on!" invite Arfan to Mentari immediately leave the place.
