My Old Star
#18 Jealousy Each Other

Mentari goes to follow where Arfan takes his steps, Mentari really feels lucky because Arfan always treats him very well.

Arfan for Mentari is a manager like his father, he feels comfortable and safe if he is near his side. Perhaps the more mature figure of Arfan makes the feeling of Mentari always so.

Although the incident in Banjarnegara yesterday related to the feud between Zaky and Tomi is still a strange thing in his heart, but for now Mentari does not want to ask Arfan, he would wait until Arfan would tell him all of that on his own initiative. Mentari believes that the events of yesterday are closely related to Arfan's past.

"Little commentary why are you daydreaming?" Arfan breaks Mentari's daydream.

"Eh..emmm..anu.

Arfan smiled wryly, "Let's go in, we've arrived!" Arfan takes Mentari into a restaurant for dinner.

A waiter came to bring them a menu, "Please sir and little Miss" said the waiter.

The servant who was serving them might think that the two were sisters so the servant kept looking at Mentari as if she was bewitched by the beauty of the girl in front of her. Arfan realized that the waitress' gaze was no ordinary gaze, deliberately teasing the waiter.

"Honey you can choose whatever you like, assume we're dating for the next time," Arfan invites Mentari to choose the food she wants to order and likens her order to Mentari.

The servant left their table to prepare the order in shame for admiring the lover of another in front of his lover.

Mentari did not realize that Arfan was actually jealous because of the waiter, instead seemed mediocre. Arfan smiled proudly because it seemed that in the mind and heart Mentari only engraved his name one, actually this is just a narcissistic mind of an Arfan. He unconsciously smiled to himself.

"So why didn't you say you were coming back today?" tanya Mentari who saw Arfan was smiling to himself like there was a sweet thing he was thinking.

"I have a fever because I miss you Mentari" Arfan said spontaneously.

"What?!"

"You have fever, brother? Is it still sick?" Mentari put the back of her hand on Arfan's forehead with a panicked face.

"You worried me, you promised to call me when you got here, but you didn't." Arfan seemed to be blaming Mentari with the words he said.

"I'm so sleepy and tired, brother, I forgot." The sun grinned as if innocent.

"I'm sorry, sister" Mentari seemed to regret her actions that had made others so worried about her.

At that moment the waiter came to bring their order. This time the waiter is different from the previous waiter, if it was a man this time a woman who just kept looking at Arfan without blinking.

The waiter placed and arranged the order on the table, his admiration made him not consider if there was anyone else on the table other than Arfan. The waiter thought that Mentari was the younger brother of the handsome young man sitting behind the table he was serving. He behaved a little flirtatious towards Arfan, but Arfan remained with his indifferent attitude so that made the maid even more anxious by biting her lower lip as if her mind had been traveling wild everywhere.

"Please" said the waiter kindly to Arfan with a made-up tone to sound sexier.

Mentari continued to look at Arfan because he realized the waiter's unusual attitude, he wanted to know what kind of reaction Arfan would give to a woman who deliberately wanted to compete blatantly with him even in front of his eyes straight away, Mentari also thinks that at the age of Arfan now there are many women who want to be close to Arfan. It turned out that the young man in front of him despite being very different in age with him had an amazing attraction that at any time could make the hearts of girls melt even when Arfan was silent though.

"Thank you" replied Arfan, while Mentari was singing her lips.

"Why?" asked Arfan pretending not to know about Mentari's annoyance after the maid left.

"That's okay," Mentari replied upsetly as she threw her face away.

"Jealous?" arfan Goda.

"Who said, no, sister!"

"You're upset face, that,"

"Have forgotten it!"

"Eat first in order to have energy if the jealousy later crumbs again" Arfan said flatly and without expression.

"We break even Little Mentari, both jealous of each other because of the admiration of others against both of us," Arfan monologued in his heart.

Mentari increasingly moved his lips to see Arfan who even smiled as if he was laughing at himself who was jealous of the waiter, annoyed for sure. But Mentari still does not want to admit if he does not like if Arfan liked by others.

After dinner, Arfan invited Mentari to sit in the park near the dormitory. When they were looking at the star-dotted sky, suddenly Mentari's phone kicked indicating there was an incoming call for him, Mentari saw if it was a call from his mother.

"Hallo Ma'am, what's wrong?"

"You where Dance is, at home your friend's coming with her mother."

"I'm out Mom, my friend..who's Mom?"

"Who?"

"Mom Sister, I was told to go home tonight."

"Why do we have to have nights like this?"

"I don't know either, Brother,"

"Then let me take you!"

Arfan drove Mentari to his house after she said goodbye to Siska that she should go home tonight.

Mentari got off Arfan's car, "Thank you for driving me!"

"You come in, I'm going?" Arfan says goodbye to Mentari.

"It's not best to go in first, brother,"

"At any time little Mentari, I have to go back to the club to check if the kids are there or not."

Arfan returned to drive his car after making sure Mentari entered the yard. Without them realizing, Madam Mentari observed their movements from behind the window curtain.

Mentari went into the house and found Ilyas with his mother sitting in the living room of his house. Mentari greeted Ilyas and his mother at a glance then went into the room to clean himself first.

Mentari went back to the living room to meet the two, "Why didn't you come tell me first?" Mentari took a seat opposite Ilyas.

"Dance is not polite to ask that," prevent Bu Kartika.

"It's okay Auntie, Ilyas can understand. Maybe Mentari was upset that she had to be distracted by my arrival and Mom's coming here." Ilyas replied gently but his words were very piercing.

"You are very wise, son,"

Mentari felt that if his mother started to like Ilyas, it was different when dealing with Arfan, his mother would not be this gentle.

"So let's apologize to Ilyas because you've been mispronouncing" his mother ordered.

"I'm sorry, Mom? What's wrong with Dance, ma'am?"

"You're this, your brain's getting water or something?" said circus Bu Kartika to his daughter.

"Already Aunt need not be questioned," said Ilyas as if defending Mentari.

Mentari decided to sit down, silent, listening to the conversation between his mother and the mother of Ilyas. They looked very familiar as if they had known each other for a long time. Ilyas stole a glance at Mentari who seemed busy playing his phone.

"Son Ilyas you and Mentari can take a walk in the park first,"

"No need for Aunt...Ilyas and I want to go back to the inn because it's night,"

"Where is it, your mother let you stay here while you're in the dorm. Pity your sick mother if you have to stay in the inn alone, if you need anything how?" said Bu Kartika without asking for the approval of Father and Mentari of course.

Mentari was so surprised to hear the spontaneous speech of his mother.

"No need Madam, I leave it at the inn. Soon I will have to be hospitalized."

"Don't refuse Mom, stay here!" Kartika continued to insist that Ilyas' mother would stay at her house.

"Son Ilyas tomorrow you deliver your mother's belongings here yes, tonight let your mother stay here, you return to the dormitory and you don't have to worry about your mother's condition."

"Thank you Auntie, sorry for the trouble,"

"It's okay, son, you're Mentari's friend. I think you're a good fit, come here often." Bu Kartika smiled full of wishful thinking while Mentari was caught off guard by the words of his mother who had been a little outrageous according to him.

"Huffffftttt..," Mentari breathed a rough breath and turned to go into her room.

"Start where you're going, I want to talk." Said Ms. Kartika after letting Ms. Ilyas into the guest room.
