My Old Star
#35 Cotton Candy
Dio delivered Mentari in front of the room that Arfan had prepared for him, Arfan appeared behind them with a slight murmur.
"Dio you're back to training!" arfan's orders.
"This morning?"
"Yes of course, if you can now why wait for later!"
"I still want to be with Big Brother-in-law Boss,"
"Your training was extended to three hours today!"
"But Boss..," Dio denied.
"Then four hours!"
Dio finally went to practice, Arfan was aiming to drive Dio away so as not to get close to Mentari first because Mentari also had to rest, but about Arfan training still seriously give additional time to Dio.
He wanted Dio to train harder to improve, as team captain Dio had a more dominant role compared to his other peers.
After Dio's death from before them, Arfan invited Mentari to enter his room.
"Hopefully you like this room Mentari" said Arfan as he opened the door and brought Mentari's suitcase inside.
Go around, "This room is very comfortable, I like you!"
"Good then, I don't understand your taste yet but if you like it better,"
"Thank you brother, you've helped me a lot."
"Isn't that my duty as a man to love you sincerely?"
"Again thanks, brother, I promise in the future will be stronger so as not to always make you trouble."
"Enough to be by my side, it makes me happy. Being bothered by you is a sign that I'm useful to you Little Mentari."
"Now take a break, today there is no need to go to campus because I have asked Reza for permission so you can rest a few days."
"But Sis...,"
"What if I add another day of ditching you?" Arfan approached Mentari, his cold aura filling the room instantly.
Mentari retreated and stuck on the wall, Mentari closed her eyes in fear that Arfan would do something to her. Arfan stroked Mentari's hair with his naughty grin.
Arfan brought his face closer to Mentari which made the girl turn her face to the right.
"Company with my arrangement, ok!" whispered Arfan in the ear of Mentari, after which the man pulled his body and face from the presence of Mentari.
"Rest, I'll go first!" he said then out of the room now occupied by Mentari.
The sun breathed in rough air, "It's cold, it's scary!"
Mentari put himself in bed, he remembered that there was Sania also in this club but he had not seen the presence of the one-child woman at the club this morning.
"Are they no longer living here?" Inner Mentari.
Mentari trying to ignore all that, at this time Mentari must be able to overcome his fears first, Mentari wants to focus on recovering his mind that does not want to remember the face of the person who disturbed him yesterday. He is also unlikely to linger at Arfan's club because his parents would know this if he was not good at keeping secrets.
Without feeling the Mentari was asleep, almost overnight could not sleep because haunted by the face of the terror makes the Mentari now become sleepy and restless.
Arfan came in to bring breakfast for Mentari because they had not had breakfast at all. Arfan's intention was to have breakfast with the girl, but once inside, Mentari slept well.
"The 22nd-century blue cat's companions are easy to sleep with!" Arfan recalled the cartoon he had watched as a child and never mature character until now his age entered the head of three.
Arfan placed a tray of warm milk and bread with chocolate jam on the nightstand.
"Based on the sleeper, just left for a while is already sound. What is fear trying?" Arfan speaks for himself.
"Ah yes I know for sure because you are comfortable living here right, so you can quickly fall asleep so!" continue Arfan while pinching Mentari's nose slowly and enveloping the girl.
"Sleep good, baby, 'cause you're safe here."
Arfan went outside from Mentari's room and closed the door very slowly.
"Boss is Sister-in-law exhausted?" Rafi asked who happened to cross that room.
"Yes he's so tired, don't be so noisy because he's sleeping!"
"Well, Boss, the boss must have tried so hard!" Rafi chuckles at the mediocre Arfan, while Rafi's mind has been traveling everywhere.
"Raf do you know where Tomi, his wife and son are?"
"So morning when the boss came out of the club, the manager said he was going out for a while because there was business with Mrs Sania and Steven."
"Oh yeah maybe they're going to take a walk together, if it's big then surely you'll understand because long separated by distance."
"Means I will also be able to feel how to try to break through the goal with beautiful goals, right Boss?"
"Of course, if you train hard, you will soon be able to make it happen!" Arfan patted Rafi on the shoulder.
"Really Boss, wouldn't it be old enough to do that first?"
"Why wait old enough to do it now!"
"Well then I'll see my girlfriend now!" Rafi ran down the stairs.
"Hey wait for Raf... What do you mean by meeting your girlfriend?"
"Back training, don't I let you go anywhere today let alone meet your girlfriend until you understand what I meant!"
"But Boss...,"
"I don't accept objections!"
Rafi eventually relented because she would never win against Arfan.
Arfan remembered with Rafi's words, it turns out there was a misunderstanding that made them not connect when they were talking because they meant to cross. Arfan smiled faintly considering that such a small child was already thinking very far above the minds of adults.
Meanwhile, Tomi intends to take Sania and Steven to the playground. However, because they came too early that the playground was not yet operational.
Tomi takes Sania and Steven for a walk around the playground after they finish breakfast waiting to open.
"Papa I want cotton candy!"
"May be a darling, but remember not to forget to brush your teeth so that your teeth do not get cavities!"
"Okay Papa, Stev promised Papa!"
"Good boy!" Tomi stroked Steven's hair lovingly.
Steven leaves Papa and his mother to buy cotton candy, which happens to be not far from where Tomi and Sania are sitting.
Steven was so excited he accidentally hit a man who happened to pass in front of him.
"I'm sorry for accidentally bumping into you" Steven apologized.
"It's okay handsome boy, om is also wrong because the road does not look around." Replied Zaki who felt affectionate towards the boy, his heart pounding very fast.
"Thank you!"
"Where are you going, son?"
"I want to buy some cotton candy over there!" Steven pointed to the cotton candy merchant across the street.
"Are you alone?"
"No, I'm with Mama and Papa. They were waiting for me to have a music together. We're waiting for the playground to open!"
"How about you buy cotton candy!"
"No need to, thanks. Mama said I can't accept gifts from strangers!"
"Then introduce the name om Zaki, how are we friends?"
Steven seemed to think for a moment, "Okay om, now we're friends."
The two of them linked the little finger as a sign of friendship, not forgetting that Zaki gave Steven his phone number and vice versa. Zaki felt affection for the boy.
The boy reminded himself of the child in the womb Sania who was taken away by Sania leaving town Z about ten years ago because of his stupidity in the past.
"Om why daydream? Oh, you're crying?" Steven observed Zaki's reddened eyes.
"Om just a flickering, where it might have been big crying would not have been appropriate!"
"Okay Om, then let's go get some cotton candy!"
Zaki follows the boy's steps, he feels happy because his son must also be as big as Steven if maybe they are destined to meet again.
Tomi is worried because Steven is very long just because he bought cotton candy, even though the playground has been opened.
"Honey you called Steven, I'm afraid he's stray!"
"He's a smart kid so there's no way he's straying in this place!"
"Call him, tell him to hurry because the playground is open!"
Sania obeyed Tomi, on the first call Steven immediately replied.
"Ma Hallo...,"
"Is it finished?"
"It's Ma,"
"Then we'll be back soon, won't we play?"
"Okay Ma, I'll be right back. Wait for me Ma!"
Sania closes her phone, while Steven says goodbye to Zaki.
"Om good, Mama says I have to go back because the playground is open, I go first om."
"Well happy playing yes, don't forget to call me later if you're home already handsome!" Zaki told Steven.
"Every Om, I know Mama and Papa once in a while!"
"By a handsome pleasure."
Steven ran away leaving Zaki who was getting saddened because his heart was empty again.
"Where are you taking my son?!" Zaki's frustrated speech.
