OLD LOVE HAS NOT YET EXPIRED
CLBK~24

Mentari and Maya stare at Rama who is being pushed over the gurney leading to the operating room. The two cried together to see how severe the wounds on the body of Rama. They hugged each other and took us to the front door of the operating room.

"Doctor Fardan hasn't arrived yet. Maybe soon will arrive because he was just called to do surgery in another hospital," said one of the nurses who was in charge of helping doctors in the surgical room.

Mentari asked her mother to sit in the waiting chair and try to calm herself down. They should pray and leave everything to the Creator.

Mentari receives a call from Juan and tells him why he ignored Juan. He also mentioned the address of the hospital where his papa was treated. He stood up and leaned against the wall. The burden of his mind is now increasing.

Thinking about the debt to Banyu, his salary was cut and now the condition of his papa that somehow later in the future.

"Content?"

The voice that was very recognizable Mentari made him look at the man who looked breathless approaching him. His professional suit makes Mentari a little pangling but he is in a hurry to realize that this man is the doctor who will handle his papa.

"Fardan," said Mentari a little shy.

"You're here Mentari? Is the patient who will be in surgery soon is our papa?" asked Fardan and Mentari nodded weakly.

"Then you are wheeled yes, I must go in and pray for me to save your papa. I go in first yes, you are patient and strong."

Skin ship done by Fardan on Mentari by rubbing the top of his head makes the cheeks of Mentari immediately met red.

Fardan smiled softly then he hurriedly walked into the operating room.

Not long after Fardan entered, Juan came to approach Mentari. He asked how the operation process was and Mentari only said if the operation was ongoing.

Juan glanced at the woman who was sitting not far from them. Through the look in his eyes he asked Mentari.

"He caught me" Mentari said. "Yuk sat down, don't just stand alone," invited Mentari and Juan to sit next to Maya.

Maya looked at the young man sitting next to her and he smiled warmly. He then glanced at Mentari and Juan who was aware of Maya's glance immediately introduced himself.

"I'm Juan, Auntie. I'm Mentari's coworker. I saw Mentari come home in a hurry so I followed her here" Juan said kindly and Maya immediately liked the way this man communicated.

"I'm Maya, call me Aunt May. My mother is Mentari. Are you a friend or Mentari's girlfriend?" Maya pond and it makes Juan wrong behavior while Mentari actually felt upset because his mother said so.

"Ma! Don't dong Ma, shame on Juan. Then mama did not need this first, remember papa again inside was struggling life and death. Mama should be praying, not handsome guys like gini. Conscious Ma, call Ma."

"Slowly sewot!"

A moment later, Maya's face changed again. He was just looking for entertainment just now by teasing Mentari and Juan. To be honest his heart was currently not fine waiting for his soul mate to be struggling inside the operating room.

"Juan you don't go into the heart of my nyokap talk, he's the guy, likes to be outspoken," said Mentari was not happy.

He is not my girlfriend, but he will be a girlfriend, Mentari continued in his heart.

"Your kayak ya," Juan's ledek that makes Mentari's cheeks red.

While from the end of the corridor, Zio clenched his hand. He did not like to see Mentari so close to Juan. His heart was hot and he would not let Mentari and Juan stay close any longer.

With big steps Zio approached them. "Lho, Mentari? What are you doing here? Who's sick?"

Zio looks so good playing his role that pretends not to know about Mentari when he did come for the former.

Mentari and Juan are certainly very surprised to see the arrival of their boss. Zio who had asked Mentari to behave as a superior and subordinate was now standing before him. Mentari wants to be upset because he knows Zio's presence will always upset him but seeing his situation Mentari undoes his intentions.

"My father went to the hospital, sir, that's why I'm here" Mentari replied.

He asked me from now on to think of him as my boss, I must follow his wishes. Maybe he doesn't want me to feel close and ever have a special relationship with him.

Zio was slightly jolted by Mentari's formal remarks when they were currently outside the office. But a few moments later he remembered that he was the one who asked Mentari to be formal with him. Suddenly Zio cursed his words earlier.

Why do I feel so awkward about dancing? I suddenly miss the same bad fight we had and I don't know why I wanted to hug him. Why does he look so fragile and troubled?

"Oh yeah? May he recover soon." Of the many words that Zio had prepared to give Mentari encouragement, Zio could only say so. Suddenly he lost his words.

"Aamiinu. Thank you sir" said Mentari.

Okay I'm telling you I'm jealous! But is jealousy because I still love Mentari? Impossible!

"So, can I say hello to Aunt Maya?" asked Zio who got the idea to chat with prospective mother-in-law failed, he was sure by approaching Maya then he would have the opportunity to linger in the hospital.

Mentari glanced at her sitting mama while lowering her head, she then looked at Zio and nodded her head.

Zio smiled faintly, he then approached Maya and made the middle-aged woman flinch. He scanned Zio's face and felt familiar.

"Hello Auntie, do you remember me? I am Zio, the former lover of Mentari," said Zio by emphasizing the word ex-lover with the aim that Juan heard it.

Maya looks fixed on Zio's face and then she smiles, "Oh Nak Zio, yes Auntie still remembers. How are you doing now, son? The more handsome," said Maya, actually he was just a little enthusiastic to invite Zio to speak, his heart was not calm because Rama was still in the operating room.

"Well, thank goodness Auntie remembers me. My news is good and happens to be Mentari is my secretary in the office. The world is indeed very narrow, Tan," said Zio, he must be good at finding topics to keep connected and will hold it for longer in the hospital.

"Oh yeah?" Maya was surprised, Mentari never told it and he thought if Mentari still works in the office of Mr. Santoso because Mentari also never told a story.

Zio nodded, then the two engaged in a small conversation that made Zio feel victorious as he could linger near Mentari.

Juan who was looking at Zio just kept looking for the topic of conversation felt a little envious. He did not get such an opportunity at all while Zio who had just arrived had already seized his position.

"Mom, do you want me to buy food or drink?" ask Mentari.

Maya looked at Mentari, "Please buy me a drink just Dance," she replied.

Mentari nodded, he then invited Juan to go to the cafeteria and it made Zio move from his seat but saw Maya who stared in wonder at him was forced to undo Zio's intention to catch up with them.

Let me first, mending now I deketin nyokap her. They will also return again.

"Sorry Auntie, we tried our best but we couldn't save Om Rama. He's dead."

Brukka ...

The plastic bag in Mentari's hand fell as soon as he heard Fardan say his papa had died.

Mentari shook his head loudly while Maya had already broken down on the floor because she heard the news. He was crying, not accepting the reality that had just happened.

Behind Mentari, Juan is trying to reach him but Mentari has gone first. In front of him was Zio who was ready to be the backrest but Mentari also passed him.

Mentari is now in front of Doctor Fardan.

"Tell me if that's not true, Fardan!" said Mentari with tears that had wet her cheeks. He pulled Fardan's suit and asked the handsome doctor to tell him that his father had not died.

Fardan then brought Mentari into his arms. It was witnessed by Juan who was shocked by the doctor who could hug Mentari as well as Zio who was shocked and furious because Mentari was in his arms.

I know you're sad Dance, but can't you see here there's me. If you want to hug, hug me. This is also the doctor why use meluk Mentari everything?

"Dance, don't dance. You have to strengthen yourself and your mother. I'm sorry I couldn't save your papa. I'm sorry Dance. You have to be patient and strong, I will always be with you" said Fardan trying to make Mentari.

The Mentari had tightly fardan's body and was crying on his chest. Zio himself although in his mind kept wondering about this man, he took the initiative to help Maya stand up.

"Fardan, papa I can't die. He's not happy yet. I'm not married yet and she hasn't carried her granddaughter. Huhu ...."

Fardan increasingly tightened his embrace on Mentari, he tried to channel the power to Mentari, he knew this would not be easy for Mentari and Maya. Soon Mentari took off her embrace and then she immediately headed towards her mother and the two hugged each other crying.

"Dance, papa, why did you leave your mother? My mother is not ready to live without him. Ask him to wake up Mentari, it's not funny. She must be your prank mama again. Fardan, you know Auntie, huh? Come on ngaku you. If you don't ngaku, Aunty will not be your blessing back with Dance. Come on Fardan call Om out, he must be inside laughing at us. Quickly get him out Fardan!"

"Aunty sorry but-"

Bruinskkk ....

Maya collapses on the floor due to her loss of consciousness.
