''What ''What! Mentari here? When's? What time?'' Ardi was very shocked when he heard the servant's words.
''It was noon, sir. When there's a proposal event here.''
As in the sambar geledek, Ardi was stunned to hear the narration of the servant. After saying that, the waiter left Ardi who was still silent on the spot.
Ardi's mind was like a blank piece of paper when he learned Mentari had come to his house this afternoon. He was very sure, if Mentari heard the words and talks about his marriage with Tina.
With a gontai Ardi step up the stairs to his room. He tried calling Mentari back but was not picked up at all, and it made Ardi really frustrating.
''I'm sure Mentari left because she heard Mama's talk this afternoon. Geez baby, you really misunderstood, said Ardi in a soft tone while rubbing his face violently.
Ardi could not sleep, even though the clock had shown at 02:00 in the morning. He was still trying to call Mentari, but there was still no answer at all, the number was completely off.
Elsewhere, Mentari was on a bus heading to a town. Somehow the purpose today is the city of Pemalang, because Mentari had been there with his grandmother once met his friend.
Exactly at 04.00 am the car has arrived in the city of Pemalang, a small city but the population is so friendly. After that Mentari got off the bus and met with a pedicabeer.
''Ma'am, where are you going?'' ask the rickshawman to Mentari.
The girl was silent, she did not know where to go. Especially in Pemalang Mentari does not have relatives, not even have relatives that he knows. ''I don't know sir, I'm a nomad. Is there a cheap price here?'' ask the rickshawman.
''Oh, if there are many ma'am. The ma'am is not the original Pemalang huh?''
Hearing the question from the rickshawman, Mentari immediately shook his head. ''No sir, I am from Jakarta, Mentari replied politely.
The rickshaw man understood, then he asked Mentari to ride his rickshaw and take him to a boarding house not far from there. The girl was happy, because in the city she did not know she met a good person.
''This costs Ma'am, for a moment let me call the owner of the cost, '' said the rickshawman when they have arrived in front of the boarding house.
Mentari saw a row of tenement houses in front of him. 'May my happiness begin from here, ' Mentari's mind hopes for her happiness in the future.
Soon the rickshawman came out with a 50-year-old mother. And Mentari immediately expressed his intention to rent the contract which turned out to be 500,000 monthly contracts. Mentari directly pay for three months, because the money from working salary is very enough.
He will also try to find a job, because it is impossible Mentari just keep quiet with her pregnant condition.
He also laid his body on the floor mattress with a small fan and also a closet there. Mentari was already very grateful to get such a facility, then he tried to close his eyes diving into dreamland.
Until the dawn of Adhan arrived, Mentari still could not close his eyes. She cries again when she remembers Ranti's mother's words about the marriage between Ardi and Tina.
He wiped his tears, then walked into the bathroom and performed the dawn prayer.
************
At exactly 08.00 am, Ardi was ready with his casual clothes. He did not even eat breakfast at all, for now Ardi's mind was on the Mentari. He really could not sleep all night, for thinking of the existence of the current Mentari who did not know his jungle.
Ardi drove his car at high speed to the cafe, because now that's where Ardi was headed. When he got there Ardi immediately went down and went into the cafe. He looks for Mentari and watches over every employee but does not see the whereabouts of his lover.
'Where are you, baby? It's impossible if you haven't come to the cafe?' batin Ardi while shuffling her hair in frustration.
Then he walked into the room of Bu Raya. With a quick movement, Ardi opened the door of Bu Raya without knocking it first. Making the 40-year-old woman shocked when she saw Ardi enter with a tired and lethargic face.
''Pak Ardi, tumben early in the morning to here?'' bu Raya asked when she saw Ardi enter her room and looked at her with both eyes.
''Does Mentari not go to the cafe? Why doesn't he exist?'' ask Ardi without answering questions from Bu Raya.
The woman frowned when she heard Ardi's question. ''Oh, Madam Mentari will resign sir yesterday afternoon. He chatted me, he said he wanted to go home Pak. And he also has the same permission, said Bu Raya with a look of wonder towards Ardi.
''What ''What! Resigning? I never agreed to his resignation. Then, where did he go?'' Ardi was so shocked when he heard that Mentari resigned from his cafe.
Bu Raya shook her head quickly. ''I'm sorry sir, I don't know where he's going. He just said if he was going to go home, sir. After that there is no news until now, replied Bu Raya.
''Aaagghhh .....''
Ardi ruffled his hair, then rubbed his face roughly. He yelled in frustration, believing Mentari had heard all the talk of his family yesterday until the girl left his life. Because it is impossible if Mentari just left without cause.
Without saying anything, Ardi came out of the room Bi Raya to his car, then hit the steering wheel several times, even his tears flowed without being held back.
It felt so tight in Ardi's heart, when he found out his beloved lover had left him. Pain, destruction and pain, that's what Ardi is feeling right now, because he knows why Mentari left.
''Forgive me, dear. I'm sorry .. You really misunderstood. I was going to marry Tina, but I never loved her. Why don't you ask for my explanation before you leave? Where should I find you, baby?'' said Ardi while slipping his face on the steering wheel with tears that had flooded his face.
He really could not afford to lose Mentari, and Ardi knew that Mentari did not have any relatives. Guilt instantly ambushed in Ardi's heart. Though he is eager to hug his lover's body, to combine love and also to spend time together, he also wants to marry Mentari.
But fate says otherwise, God seems to play tricks on Ardi's feelings. When he can forget his feelings for Bunga, and when he can love Mentari with all his soul. The woman leaves because of a mistake that Ardi does not want to make.
''Why God? Why do you always play with my feelings? Why ...!'' yelled Ardi while hitting the steering wheel a few times while crying.
