Banu Pov's
I stand staring at my house that some days I did not visit, Mentari takes care of this house very well. I know that, every day I visit him just to make sure that he is okay, even though he never realizes my presence, because I only see him from afar.
Mentari, my wife is too innocent for a jerk like me. Wife? she deserves to be the wife of a sinner like me. It is inappropriate that everything has happened, moreover I have fallen in love with her, fallen in love with her person and beauty. Mentari is perfect, she is naturally beautiful, without the need for makeup polish. As the name suggests, his face glowed as bright as the sun.
I don't know when this taste started to exist, which I know, I really wanted to have him completely. But I was bound by a promise, a promise I made before him, a promise that I wouldn't touch him until he finished his education. That promise torments me, I promise, but I'm the tormented one. Not without cause, but every time I see Mentari, the feeling of having her is all the greater.
To avoid that, I decided not to be around him. I was afraid, afraid I could not resist my desire to touch him, even though as a husband I was entitled because he was my wife.
"Pak Banu" someone pulled me from the daydream. "Pak Banu can't get in, so just stand in front of the door" I just smiled at the mother who was almost the same age as my mother. I just realized I was just standing here.
"This was the key, I'm sorry I didn't know Mr. Banu came home quickly" the mother handed me the key to my house. I just realized, it turns out Mentari is not at home, just deserves to be quiet.
"So where's mom going?" I asked him, I was quite curious, he couldn't have gone away. So why did he leave the house keys?
"Lho, is not saying goodbye to Mr. Banu, if he returns to Java" explained my neighbor to surprise me.
Mentari's home? Wh why? Stupidly asking that, of course he was angry and disappointed maybe even he hated. "No" I unconsciously shouted. Mentari can't hate me.
I stared pushyly at this jewelry box I was carrying, this jewelry as a form of my apology. I could only sit limply in front of the tv, after I went in and tried to find Mentari inside. I wish it was just a joke to prank me. Unfortunately, I have to accept that this is the truth.
"Slow" that's what I can say now. I took too long to solve my problems with Cindy, I was too afraid to speak the truth.
Dodging and staying away from Mentari was one mistake I regret right now. I should have been honest with him from the beginning, of course he wouldn't be as angry as he is today. Now he hates me, hates a dishonest man when he has a son, a man with a bad past.
After the incident in the expert dago that night, I chose to first settle my relationship with Cindy. Not without reason did I end my wait to live with Cindy, but I was tired of being played with by my son's mother. Even more so after I found footage of Cindy having sex with another man, it made me even more confident in my decision.
At first I checked the CCTV because Zein's request about Cindy he suspected was being close to someone. I curiously checked in on any guests who came, and sure enough I found a man who came to visit Cindy. After finding that hot scene and handing it to Zein, I went straight home to the apartment.
"Leave this apartment right now and never come back" I who just entered the apartment immediately said those words, making Cindy not believe what she heard.
"You kicked me out, Nu? Where will Jojo and I stay?"
"Aren't you intoxicating Nu?" cindy asked me, it seems like she still doesn't believe what I said.
"Don't ask too many questions, just do as I say" I raised my voice.
"What's wrong? You can't kick me out like this Nu" Cindy denied me. I know he doesn't accept my treatment, but I don't accept his treatment any more. All this time I was too patient and kind to follow her desire to return with Reyhan who had clearly rejected her at this time. But this time Cindy played me, she was too brave to take another man and fuck me in my apartment.
"Of course we can, we don't have anything to do with it, and this is my apartment" I returned.
"Banu" Cindy shouted.
"I'm sick of your behavior Cindy, I've had enough patience all this time" I yelled back at her.
"It must be because of your wife, right" I can't accept Cindy blaming Mentari.
"Don't take my wife with you, it's your own fault, you've dared to take another man and sleep with him in my place" Cindy fell silent at my words, she must have never thought that I would know what she was doing.
I pulled my hair rough, I accidentally came home today to talk and apologize to Mentari. But the fact is I'm late, Mentari has already left. I looked back at the jewelry box I bought before I went home "You will definitely reach your owner" I muttered.
I picked Jojo up at his school, Jojo who saw me running and called me. "Dad" I can only smile while welcoming him.
"Dad who picked up. Mother where?" I just remember from yesterday until now he just asked about his mother.
"Mom's gone, so Jojo is now the same Dad yes" Jojo nodded in agreement, at this time maybe he didn't ask much, but when he missed his mother, I didn't know what to answer.
"Jo, same Om Zein first yes. Dad promised to go home quickly" Jojo nodded in agreement. I had to leave Jojo to Zein. After that I explained to Jojo that I had to go out of town. Fortunately, there was Zein I could leave Jojo behind, because there was no way I could take Jojo to my parents' house before I explained to them.
"Jojo must be safe here, don't worry. Mas Banu just solve Mas's problem with the family" Zein calms me down, yes I will not be afraid to leave Jojo to Zein, for Jojo Zein is his second father, for Jojo Zein is his second father, because Zein also Jojo can be born safely and can also grow as it is now.
Landed but surely I drove my vehicle away from Cafe Zein, then entered the toll gate to Purwokerto. The town where my parents and Mentari's parents live. Mentari, I'm not letting you go. It's my promise.
