My Old Star
#6 The Dinner
Today Grandma Wijaya arrived in Indonesia, in accordance with her promise Arfan picked up her Grandmother at the Airport. Arfan waited long enough because the plane was boarded by his Grandmother had not come.
Though it should be on schedule had to be up to about fifteen minutes ago, Arfan had started to fidget because he was worried about something happening with his Grandma. Arfan was further frustrated when the airport announced that there were several plane departures that had to be delayed because the weather suddenly turned bad.
While the plane that has already flown in the air is not yet known how its fate. Arfan keeps praying that the plane his grandmother was riding on is okay.
Arfan sat in the airport waiting chair with a bow because he was still committed kamit do'a, hoping his Grandmother survived, Grandma was his only family that still exists.
When Arfan was still busy with his own thoughts suddenly from behind there was someone hugging him. Arfan turned his head and was surprised that his Grandma was already behind him.
"Grandmother..," Arfan was happy to see Grandma.
"Well, it's me, who do you think?!"
"Based on the bad boy, Grandma's been waiting for you for a long time even here apparently." Maki Grandma Wijaya.
"Grandma look at that!" Arfan pointed at the signboard at the airport.
Vijaya's grandmother followed Arfan's index finger while raising her glasses.
"Aren't I supposed to wait for Grandma's arrival here?"
"Ah yes you are right,"
"Let's go home, Grandma's already so tired that Grandma's vision has become a little blurry!" Grandma Wijaya tried to snele.
"Mkc...This grandma blames me!" Arfan grumbled while carrying his Grandma's belongings to the Car.
Arfan took his Grandma out of the Airport, along their journey, Grandma Wijaya continued to scout Arfan about marriage, something that Arfan had been afraid of when his Grandmother returned to the country.
All this time Grandma Wijaya really hopes that Arfan soon married and the Grandmother can immediately take a great-grandchild from Arfan, but that desire has not been realized until he stepped on the head of three.
Arfan is still busy with clubs and teaching activities on campus. Although at University Z there are many students who admire Arfan, a handsome young lecturer and also a former athlete but Arfan himself is not interested in them. Though not a few who blatantly expressed his love for Arfan.
"I miss this house" said Grandma Wijaya as soon as she entered the house.
"I put Grandma's things in the room, Aunt Ria will take care of it."
"I go first, Grandma" said Arfan.
"Where are you going? Grandma just came and you were leaving."
"I'm going to Nek's club" Arfan passed away.
"Don't forget tomorrow should be back, there's a dinner!" said Grandma Wijaya a little screamed because Arfan was getting further and further.
Arfan no longer replied, he had already left the house. Though she actually listened to her Grandma.
He understood the meaning of the dinner that his grandmother had arranged for him. Arfan actually feels very lazy for things that he thinks are not too important. However, he did not want to disappoint his Grandmother. Tomorrow of course he will go home even with a little heavy heart.
****
Tonight Mahendra's family and Tente Mentari's family who are the sisters of Ibu Mentari have gathered at Mahendra's family home, they will hold a dinner at a restaurant with Grandma Wijaya and also the only Grandson in the Wijaya family. Mentari has also returned home so that he can be in the middle of his family.
The event tonight was held in order to bring together the Grandmother of Grandma Wijaya and also the Moon Sister of the Star who is a cousin of Mentari who already does not have a father because he has died, so that all their affairs will certainly involve the Mentari family in it.
Grandma Wijaya came with Arfan to the Mahendra family residence in order to leave together. Mentari and Bintang were still upstairs when Grandma Wijaya came.
Bu Kartika called Mentari to come down because they were about to leave and how surprised Mentari was when he saw in the living room of his house there was Arfan who was sitting with Grandma from Arfan himself and his family.
Mentari's heart feels melos when seeing the Moon is being introduced to Arfan.
Mentari tried to be ordinary in front of them, only the Stars understood this situation.
"Here Nak salim used to be with Grandma Wijaya and her Grandmother," ordered Bu Kartika to Mentari and Bintang.
They both obeyed Bu Kartika's orders, kissing Grandma Wijaya's hands in reverence while introducing themselves.
"It's so beautiful that you are Mentari and you're a very handsome star, too" said Grandma Wijaya.
"Thank you, Grandma" answered the two of them at the same time.
"Talk here, this Grandma's Grandson's name is Arfan,"
"Come salim Nak" said Bu Kartika.
Moon who saw Arfan's gaze towards Mentari felt a little suspicious towards the two of them.
Now they are on the Mentari home page to go to the restaurant they have ordered before. Due to the limitations of existing cars, they decided to divide the group into two.
Pak Mahendra's car was boarded by Bu Kartika, Bu Rima, Grandma Wijaya and of course Mr. Mahendra himself as a driver.
While Arfan car will be boarded by Moon, Mentari and Bintang with Arfan as the driver. Actually the Moon refused if there are Mentari and Star with them because they want to be alone with Arfan, but because the car in front is also full in the end the Moon relented.
"Well, both of you if you bother me and Mas Arfan, whatever you see you don't see!" say the moon before they enter the car.
Now that the car driven by Mr. Mahendra has gone first, Arfan has been sitting behind the wheel of his car followed by Mentari and Bintang who entered the car Arfan in the rear passenger seat. The Moon will sit in the front seat next to the steering wheel. However, when the Moon was about to ride in the front seat lay Arfan's jacket that he deliberately put there.
"Sorry Mas Arfan can this jacket be removed from here?" say Moon.
Arfan did not answer the Moon's words, he continued to look straight ahead. In the end the Moon opened the back door and sat jostling with the Sun and the Stars. In the heart of Mentari was pleased because of Arfan's flat attitude towards the Moon, Mentari did not mean evil to the Moon but he himself could not lie to his own feelings towards Arfan.
They had arrived in front of the restaurant that had a special room to eat with the family.
The Sun enters with the stars. While Arfan was allowed to enter with the Moon at the request of their family. However, who would have thought if Arfan actually left the Moon to make a video call with someone.
Long enough Arfan and Moon outside and never go inside, until Pak Mahendra told Bu Rima to call them.
"Why are you still here? Come inside!"
"So Mom, Mas Arfan is still busy!" The moon pointed to Arfan who was busy with his phone.
"What the hell is he? I really can't respect my parents,"
"Don't be loud ma'am, she'll hear!"
"Let him hear, you young man who has no manners, the time to let this beautiful mother's child stand outside. Let's just go in there's no need to wait for him,"
"But Ma'am.," reject the Moon.
"Let's Moon!" Miss Rima pulled her daughter's arm to follow her inside.
The moon eventually went inside to follow the mother, while Arfan turned his head and saw the Moon was no longer in its place. Actually the video call that Arfan did was a tactic so that the Moon does not stick constantly to him.
Arfan called Tomi and asked her to show him the children she was training to see.
Arfan went inside the restaurant and entered the room where Mahendra's family and Grandma were chatting.
Arfan took a seat between Grandma Wijaya and Mentari.
"Wherever you've been Fan, you're being disrespectful!" hardik Grandma Wijaya in the ear of her grandson.
"Sudden meeting Nek," replied Arfan lightly.
"You're embarrassing Grandma, too,"
Grandma Wijaya then smiled at everyone, ordering that they start eating dinner because everyone was present.
"Tari can you switch places with the Moon?" bu Rima told Mentari before they started dinner.
"Good Aunt" replied Mentari.
The Mentari stood up from his seat and was about to move to switch seats with the Moon.
"No need, you're here!" prevent Arfan while holding Mentari's hand.
This immediately made everyone present feel astonished by Arfan's attitude except the Stars of course. It is clear that Arfan is treating Mentari in a very different way.
"You-you guys?" said the Moon is not willing if the assumption is true.
The most awkward with this position is of course Mentari while Arfan remains indifferent without expression.
