My Old Star
#25 Beautiful Cats
When he got to the hospital, he got off Arfan's car and went into the hospital. Before Mentari entered Arfan advised that tonight he would pick him up, in fact Arfan did not go from that place just that he was a little away to avoid direct contact with Bu Kartika. Right now Arfan's focus is on Mentari, he doesn't want to hurt the girl anymore.
Mentari met with Mom and Ilyas who were waiting for the results of the examination in the waiting chair of the patient.
"Worky girl why just came here, pity Ilyas from yesterday she was alone looking after her mother." Ms. Kartika greeted Mentari to sit next to Ilyas.
"I'm a little busy Mom" replied Mentari.
"Busy with that old man, right? How many times do I have to tell you Mentari!"
Mentari did not respond to Bu Kartika's scolding because it would further aggravate the situation if it continued to be extended, he smiled to Ilyas, "What is the condition of your mother Yas?"
"I don't know, I'm still waiting for your father's results." Answer Ilyas bitterly.
"You have to be sure that your mom's gonna be okay, Yas,"
Bu Kartika smiled at the familiarity of Mentari and Ilyas, of course they are familiar because they have often collaborated in several research projects. Bu Kartika hopes they can get closer and establish a more serious relationship.
"Did you eat?" tanya Mentari was answered with a slab by Ilyas.
"What time is it, why not eat? You also have to be healthy to be strong to take care of your mother Yas," Mentari grasped both hands of Ilyas as a friend.
Bu Kartika captured this moment secretly with his cellphone camera.
"You ask him to eat Mentari first, let me keep watch here!"
"Let's take you to the cafeteria!" Mentari drew Ilyas' hand so that the young man would rise from his seat.
When Ilyas and Mentari were in the cafeteria, it turned out that Arfan was also there. Arfan observed the interaction of the two from a distance not too far away.
"Show do you remember my request the other day?" Ilyas said on the sidelines he put food in his mouth.
"Which request is Yas?"
"You may have forgotten, forget it if you remember nothing!" Ilyas pretended to sulk at Mentari's expression which was even confused by her words just now, indicating that the girl had never thought about what she said though.
Mentari felt guilty that she did not remember anything Ilyas had asked her to do, "Can you repeat Yas?"
"That's it if it doesn't matter to you!"
"I beg you not to be like Yas, I don't want you to be sad."
"So comment will you accept me?"
"You mean Yas?"
"You know my mother's condition is not good right now, if something happens to her then I will live alone in this world!"
"I hope you want to live this life with me" Ilyas pleaded with silence.
Mentari seemed to think there was a sense of pity towards Ilyas, but he was unlikely to fulfill Ilyas' request to him. He never considered Ilyas more than a friend and companion. Mentari bit her lower lip, hesitating to give an answer.
"So please comment!" Ilyas clasped both hands in front of his chest, pleading with Mentari to grant her wish, but it was not easy for Mentari to accept Ilyas, plus she did not love Ilyas at all.
"Eheemmmm..," Deheman Arfan's voice made Mentari turn to the source of the sound.
"Sister Arfan..," Mentari rose from his seat.
"Aren't you accompanying the sick, why sit here?"
"Don't misunderstand first Sister, Ilyas is so sorry that his mother is sick and she has no other family, if her mother is not Ilyas will be alone, I just mean to comfort her!" Mentari explained that because Arfan's face looked unfriendly, there was a streak of anger that he seemed to be holding back.
"Oh really, what a pity that you Ilyas you will definitely be lonely if that happens!"
"I won't be lonely as long as there's a Mentari by my side!"
Mentari gave a rejection gesture that it was all not right with her two hands that she shook left and right in front of her chest like someone who was saying goodbye.
"So to see if you know my father and mother haven't been around since I was a kid, I don't understand how they both look, don't I feel so sorry?" Arfan put on a pitiful face.
"Of course you're the one who's more pitying, you must have missed them so much since childhood."
"Yes Mentari, so will you accompany me in this life?"
Mentari smiled and unhesitatingly replied, "Of course I want you!"
"Good!"
"Ta..but what about Ilyas and my mother?"
"You calm down, Ilyas is grown. Your mother left this hospital!"
"Where do you know, brother?"
"That's a secret," Arfan grinned the horse.
"Then come on, brother!"
"So you're gonna leave me?"
"Tomorrow I promise I'll come here again Yas, I hope your mother is okay, I'll go first and if there's anything, just let me know!"
Mentari and Arfan left Ilyas in the cafeteria, before leaving Arfan to pay for the food Ilyas had ordered. Arfan did not want if he was considered as a person who has no feelings.
Ilyas felt the food he was enjoying turned into so bland when it previously tasted so delicious, his hopes have soared to be with Mentari but in fact he was defeated by a man who was considered old by Madam Mentari.
Arfan and Mentari have now reached the hospital parking lot, Mentari saw his mother's car is still parked there.
"Aren't these my mother's cars?"
"Didn't you say that Mom left this hospital?"
Arfan smiled, "I lied to you!"
"What?!"
"You're so mean, brother?" Mentari hit Arfan's arm slowly while smiling because of the behavior of Arfan who was always watching him.
"How do you want to come with me or come back in?"
"Are we not playing with cats?"
"Ah well, little cat."
"Now go back in but remember be a smart beautiful cat!" arfan's message to Mentari certainly understands what Arfan means.
Arfan left Mentari walking away inside, he told Mentari if he would meet an old friend tonight so it was likely that he could not deliver Mentari to the dorm, meanwhile Ilyas had just returned from the canteen. Bu Kartika saw Ilyas walking alone near him.
"Where is Mentari Yas, why are you alone?"
"So Mentari went to..," Ilyas had not finished his speech but Mentari was already behind Ilyas.
"I'm from the toilet, ma'am,"
"I'm sorry Yas, you must have waited a long time?" Mentari started playing her role in front of Mom.
"Yes there you go see your mother Yas, the doctor has finished checking her condition!"
Ilyas entered the room where his mother was lying weak, Mentari waiting outside with her mother who seemed to look at him with a different gaze.
"How many times have you told me not to get close to that guy again, you guys are too different!"
"Mom wasn't I born from a difference between Mom and Dad?"
"You never really understood what Mom meant!"
"Here you go, ma'am, we'll talk later, okay?" Mentari was pampered in his mother's arms, he knew his mother was angry with him but as a child he didn't want to fight too much.
Arfan was going to meet Arman who invited him to meet tonight at a restaurant for dinner together. Arfan arrived first, he took the corner seat while enjoying the coffee that had been ordered. Unexpectedly, Mona was also in that place with her friends.
Mona sees Arfan sitting alone and approaches her, "Hi Fan, are you here too?"
"Yes Mon, what are you doing here?"
"I saw you on purpose to meet you!"
"I don't want to be bothered by Mon, you better go!"
Mona who was shameless even sat across from facing Arfan bravely he clasped Arfan's hand in front of him.
"Let go of my hand Mona!"
