My Old Star
#7 Difficult Situations
As Mentari sat back in her chair, she felt bad about her cousin because Moon seemed to like Arfan. It is clear from the attitude and the way the Moon looks at Arfan.
Grandma Wijaya smiled at the behavior of her grandson like that, Grandma Wijaya guessed that between Arfan and Mentari already know each other.
"Well everybody can sit back and we can start dinner!"
All were obedient to Grandma Wijaya's orders, they ate in silence. The Moon felt very upset because Arfan did not glance at her at all.
"Fan get you a Mentari side dish!" Granny Wijaya's Order.
Without answering his Grandma, Arfan picked up a side dish for Mentari who was sitting on his left side.
Kartika's mother glanced at Mentari who seemed happy with Arfan's treatment of her, now the mother also began to suspect if they had known each other.
Dinner was over, Grandma Wijaya felt very happy tonight. They came out of the restaurant together. Mentari walked with her parents. While Arfan walked in front with his Grandma.
"Start here Son," Grandma Wijaya called Mentari.
Mentari looked at his mother before approaching Grandma Wijaya, Bu Kartika nodded in agreement.
"Yes Nek," Mentari approached Grandma Wijaya and Arfan.
"Tomorrow play at Grandma's house, Arfan will pick you up." Grandma Wijaya patted Mentari on the shoulder and left Mentari who still did not believe. While Arfan himself followed his Grandma to the car of Mr. Mahendra.
The Moon and her mother noticed the interaction between Grandma Wijaya and Mentari.
"You see that, shouldn't Grandma Wijaya ask me to visit instead of Mentari." Say the Moon to His Mother.
"Already Lan, there are still many young people out there with better educational and career backgrounds than Arfan who wants to be with you, you're beautiful don't waste yourself just on that ungrateful young man."
"But Ma'am.," whined the Moon.
"Let's go home!" take Miss Rima.
"Mother is right, Sister, you should just leave Arfan for Mentari" said the star that makes the Moon's heart hotter.
The Moon stomped her feet in anger at Bintang and her mother, instead of supporting her instead of supporting Arfan with Mentari alone.
Now they have climbed their respective cars like formations when they left earlier.
"Little commentary you moved ahead!" arfan's orders that saw Mentari already sitting with his two cousins in the back seat.
Mentari hesitated a little to change seats, he felt bad for the Moon who had bent his face from the out of the restaurant.
"Have moved there, here narrow tofu!" the Star without sin.
The sun breathed rough, then moved forward because Arfan threatened not to walk if the Mentari remained behind.
Their journey was silent without anyone daring to open their voice because they felt awkward until they reached the front of the Mahendra family home.
The parents had arrived first and were chatting in the house while waiting for the young people to arrive home before Grandma Wijaya said goodbye to go home.
Mentari wanted to get off the car Arfan because the Star and Moon had gone down first then they entered the house, Mentari wanted to follow them, but was prevented by Arfan.
"Wait!"
Mentari turned to Arfan, "What's the matter?"
"Please help me in front of my Grandma?" pinta Arfan's.
"What do I need to help?" ask Mentari.
"If my grandmother asks, just tell me we know each other and are close enough, then Grandma will no longer force me to be with your cousin."
"Isn't she pretty?"
"Yes.yes, I admit she's beautiful but I'm not interested!" arfan answered while holding his arms and looking straight ahead.
"Alright..well..there's you go,"
"Thank you little mentor,"
Mentari chided, "I'm not a child anymore so stop calling me that!" mentari Protest to Arfan.
"No way!" replied Arfan Cuek while getting out of the car and into the house Mentari to take his grandmother home.
Mentari followed Arfan's steps, arriving at Grandma Wijaya's house immediately smiled at the arrival of the two of them who looked harmonious even though their age difference was quite far.
"That's them," Grandma Vijaya pointed at Arfan and Mentari who entered simultaneously.
"Here son, sit next to Grandma!" Grandma Wijaya waved her hand to Mentari.
Mentari smiled and sat next to Grandma Wijaya.
"You're still very young, but no age is not a barrier to a relationship,"
The moon choked on the mineral water that was being sipped to hear Grandma Wijaya's words.
Moon thinks if Grandma Wijaya already likes Mentari, then what about her. While Mentari looked at Arfan who was still standing, Arfan smiled knots then nodded.
"Yes Nek" replied Mentari.
"Good!"
"You must often be together in order to get closer," said Grandma Wijaya again.
"Sorry Nek, not that we mean to be presumptuous but our Mentari is still very small, he still has to learn, he does not deserve to be in a relationship with a young man." Said Bu Kartika because he was worried about his sister Rima and also Moon cousin Mentari will be offended when it is more appropriate for this is the Moon when viewed from the age of the Moon itself which is far above Mentari.
"What's wrong, let them know each other first until the time comes," replied Grandma Wijaya with his kekeh.
Ms. Kartika chose to remain silent and will ask about her daughter's relationship with Arfan to Mentari later after their guest returns home.
"Grandmother, it's time we go home" said Arfan because he saw his grandmother still at home talking to Mentari while rubbing Mentari's hand.
"Alright Mentari, Grandma go home first yes don't forget you have to play to Grandma's house." Granny Wijaya's Message.
The mentor just smiled and nodded.
Grandma Wijaya and Arfan say goodbye to go home, while Mentari will automatically be asked many questions by her parents.
Before all that happened, Mentari intended to avoid going upstairs and into his room. Mentari had climbed on the fifth step, but was prevented by his mother.
"Where are you going to dance?" ask Bu Kartika.
"I'm sleepy Mom, tired. I'm gonna take a break, ma'am, please dance." Answer Mentari with a little clarity.
"You owe us an explanation,"
"Quick down!" mother's orders.
Mentari came down the stairs that had been stepped on with a feeling of very lazy.
"Just tell us why you seem so familiar with Grandma Wijaya's granddaughter!" bu Rima said without further ado to introgate his nephew.
"Tante Rima and Kak Bulan don't get me wrong, my relationship with Arfan is not as far as you think it's just that we've met,"
"Where did you meet?" ask Moon.
"In his bookstore Bintang and at the time I held a seminar with my friends out of town" replied Mentari honestly.
"You don't lie to Dance" said Moon again slightly cornered Mentari.
"So far from being true, Arfan once came to the store at night and happened to be there because Mentari was helping me," Bintang tried to defend Mentari.
"You're the same, you must have conspired!" accuse Moon.
"Have not quarreled" prevented Mr. Mahendra.
"Content right what you said?" ask Mr. Mahendra gently.
"True Dad" replied Mentari.
"Well Daddy believe you, now rest there, tomorrow don't you have to go back to the dormitory to finish the assignment during the semester break?"
"Yes Dad,"
Mentari obeyed the orders of his father who was very fond of Mentari since childhood. Mentari was relieved because her father helped her in spite of such a difficult situation.
Mentari's father then gave advice to the Moon with words that are wise enough, so that the Moon does not feel hurt because it turns out Arfan is not interested in the Moon.
"Beautiful moon don't be sad, there are still many young people out there who like you sincerely, so just let Arfan. We also never know whether Arfan really likes Mentari or not, while you have heard yourself not a description from Mentari,"
"So don't corner Mentari with your words, because Mentari also never knew everything would happen like this, Little Mentari doesn't deserve unfair treatment from you because of a mistake she didn't make, understand you?!"
All are silent because Mr. Mahendra's words are true, all is not Mentari's fault because he also never knew if this would happen.
Now that Arfan had reached home with his Grandmother, not wanting to get a long suggestion from the Grandmother, Arfan rushed into his room.
"Hey you're such a bad boy, Grandma would like to talk to you for a second!" shouted Grandma Wijaya who saw Arfan passed by climbing the stairs.
Arfan answered with a wave of his hand without looking at his grandmother.
