My Old Star
#3 Rain
When Mentari was frightened, Dio entered the dressing room and saw that his boss was bullying a little girl.
"The taxi's in front!"
Dio's voice made Arfan pull his head from the front of Mentari.
Mentari felt a little relieved, at least he was not in a state of fear like that.
"Follow me!" arfan's Command to Mentari.
Arfan put Mentari's belongings into the trunk of the car, then told Mentari to get into the taxi.
"Lake in!"
Mentari looked at Arfan with a sad face, but Arfan still looked flat without expression.
The mentari obediently got into the taxi and sat in the passenger seat with a herd.
"Please take her to the hotel sir, make sure she's safe until the destination!"
"Okay sir" replied the taxi driver.
The car drove, Mentari still looked at Arfan with sadness. I don't know when he'll see that guy again. Mentari's tears began to fall when she turned back to look at Arfan through the rear windshield, Arfan who was still standing while calling someone did not look at her at all.
Falling in love can sometimes be painful if our love claps one hand.
Mentari arrived at the hotel and headed straight to the room where Siska was staying, Siska
the other two have been there since this afternoon.
"Oh my goodness Tar, you've been a long time. We're dry waiting for you to know!" Siska complained as soon as she saw Mentari coming with a disheveled face.
"I'm sorry Sis" Mentari replied in a clear manner.
"It's okay, baby dance, take a shower! After this we'll discuss matter for a while before resting on gathering energy for tomorrow."
This seminar was conducted in groups, in the Mentari group there were four people, in addition to Mentari and Siska there were two other guys, Ilyas and Azka who were their level brothers on campus.
Currently they were gathered in Siska and Mentari's room to discuss the seminar materials, while their rooms were both next door.
Get out of the bathroom in a much fresher condition.
"How about we just start the discussion?" siska's proposal was approved by all her friends.
They discussed for quite a long time, this seminar they must prepare well because of the arrival of students and lecturers from other faculties at University Z.
****
Mentari and his friends have been in the seminar room since morning, they have prepared very carefully just waiting for the event to start.
One by one the seminar participants arrived. At nine o'clock in the morning the show began. In the participant's seat, Arfan sat in his chair quietly, so many participants were present, Mentari did not realize that the young man he liked was in the middle of it this time.
Ilyas was the first to present his seminar materials, followed by his other friends. While Mentari get the last turn, since the arrival of Arfan, he continues to pay attention to Mentari.
She looked at him fixedly, even the shadow of yesterday's events made her smile knotty.
Mentari explained the material very smoothly and loudly, it looks very if the girl has intelligence and knowledge that is broad enough according to Arfan so that it can master the audience easily.
The question and answer session began, the Mentari group was able to answer the questions of the participants very well. Especially Mentari who managed to answer many questions that could be said to be quite difficult from the participants.
Arfan refrained from asking questions because he did not want his existence here to be realized by Mentari who yesterday he had oppressed.
The seminar was closed at lunchtime, after carrying out their duties as a Muslim and having lunch together, the four of them agreed to go home today because the other day of duty was still waiting, although they are on semester break.
"Little commentary?" greeting Arfan when he saw Mentari was carrying his goods towards the car.
"Why are you here?" ask Mentari wonder.
"Engine your things let me bring you!" arfan said without answering Mentari's questions.
Mentari was still confused by the attitude of the person in front of him who had suddenly changed for the better.
"No need, it'll be troublesome." Mentari's Resist.
Siska who saw the interaction of the two, elbowed Mentari's arm trying to ask for an explanation with her eyes. The sun whispered in Siska's ear.
Hearing Mentari's explanation, made Siska feel relieved. It's just that he's never met this one Mentari friend before.
Arfan did not want to listen to Mentari's rejection, he took Mentari's suitcase for granted and made Mentari have to pursue him.
"Hinn my stuff, I'm going home!"
Arfan did not listen to Mentari's words, instead he lifted Mentari's suitcase into his car.
"Hey what are you doing, my friends are waiting for me."
Mentari looked at Siska who was waving at him, telling him to hurry up.
"You wait here!"
Arfan approached the cars of Mentari's friends, spoke to them and returned to his car. In this case the most unwilling is Ilyas, because in this seminar he could not be with Mentari.
"Why do my friends go first?" The frowning mentor felt abandoned by his friends.
"Let's ride!" arfan's orders.
Mentari thought for a moment it was impossible for him to refuse while his belongings were in Arfan's car plus his friends who had gone home first.
"You're up no?" said Arfan from the car because Mentari was still in place.
The mentor eventually got into Arfan's car, sat down, silent and upset. Mentari crossed his hands on his chest, choosing to throw his face towards the window of Arfan's car.
Arfan did the same thing throughout the trip he just kept quiet.
The journey is quite far away makes Mentari feel bored and sleepy, in the end he fell asleep. Arfan looked at the little girl there.
"Beautiful..," murmured Arfan.
"What the hell am I thinking, is my brain in the water?" Arfan shook his own head in disbelief if he was interested in the little Mentari, a thing he had never felt before.
Slowly the rain greeted them on the way, the sound of lightning striking a large wood in front of them made Mentari wake up. Luckily Arfan quickly put the brakes on his car so that it does not fall on a tree.
Mentari had been questioning many times, he looked pale and frightened.
"Don't be afraid we'll turn around, this road we can't get through because it's covered in fallen trees."
The frightened mentor did not answer anything, he no longer knew what to do. He also wished his friends well on the way.
After he calmed down a little bit, though, Mentari contacted Siska by phone and luckily Siska and the others are already in a hotel now because it is impossible to continue the journey with weather conditions that suddenly become very bad, he said, worried that something might happen on the road so they decided to postpone the trip until tomorrow.
"Our little commentary is unlikely to continue the journey this time!"
"You shouldn't have stopped me from coming home with my friends, you've stuck me here instead" Mentari was angry with Arfan and blamed him a little.
"We're looking for an inn near here!"
"No.. I don't want to, you're definitely looking for an opportunity, right?" reject the Mentari while covering the chest with both hands.
"You think I'm interested in a little girl like you?"
"As far as you go, I'm coming down!"
"It's raining you'll be sick!" prevent Arfan.
"I like the rain more than here,"
The sun came down from inside the car, letting the rain sweep across his face and wet his entire body. This time they were in front of an inn, but Mentari was reluctant to enter instead playing rain in the inn's courtyard.
Arfan was still in the car watching the small steps of Mentari who moved to and fro, so cute the little girl according to Arfan.
Arfan finally obeyed his heart to come down and play rain with little Mentari.
Arfan had not felt this happy for a long time just by playing in the rain, making his body wet by the rain, a simple thing that made him laugh so loosely.
Lightning greeted them again despite not grabbing the tree like on the road earlier, because of the shock Mentari jumped towards Arfan and crossed her legs flanking Arfan's waist, and, deftly Arfan catches the small and slender body Mentari brings into his arms.
"I'm afraid of lightning!" mentari.
"You'll be fine, calm down!"
