As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon

Episodes 120. Keenan's Sly Plan

Six o'clock past fifteen minutes. I see Azan filling my hearing. Slowly I opened my eyes. My vision was a little faint in addition to the light of the lamp that was targeting my eyes. I stretched my body when my consciousness had completely recovered. "I'm sorry, Fara." said a man who made me gasp. My attention was immediately diverted to the source of the sound. Jiiaaahhh.It turns out right, sitting on Mirza's chair. His eyes are still staring at me. While his hands were folded in front of his chest. "Since when is big brother here." said Gagu with a rowdy attitude. "Since you snored. You sleep like a baby, Fara." she said with a smile. Smile mockery I think. Hey..since when do I snore? I'm manyun.

"So soon...Keenan is waiting for you" said Mirza, sighing. "Sister is praying?" tanyaku he answered with a nod of the head. Then he passed leaving me who was still staring at him until his body disappeared behind the wall.

Six o'clock past forty-five minutes. I'm getting ready. After performing the Maghrib prayer service, my attention is now focused on my appearance. I deserve myself in front of the mirror while tidying up the part that looks less neat. "Ah, why should I bother dressing up if only to meet Keenan" I said listlessly.

Geck.

Geck.

Geck.

I quickly grabbed my phone and opened the door. Mirza stood before me. His eyes are staring at me. He was glued unmoved. "Ehem.." I said to wake him up. "Sorry.." said Mirza. Then he chuckled while rubbing his face. "Smart also Keenan dress you up. That outfit suits you very well." said Mirza as she stepped next to me.

"It's not really because of Keenan, but because it's Fara who's beautiful.." so far. "Yes, that's right too. Beautiful Fara" said Mirza. His hand rubbed gently the tip of my head. Why is it so comfortable to treat him that way?

"Azam and I will be with you from a distance. No need to worry, I will take care of you." he said as he opened the car door. I smiled hearing his words. Again there was a comfortable feeling enveloping my soul as he spoke. "Pak Parno please take Mrs Fara to cafe Za" Mirza said as he closed the car door. "Well, sir.." said Mr. Parno while nodding reverently.

Not long after the car drove. The pace was enough to make me squeak. Given the condition of the road that began to get wet because it had just been in the rain. A condition that reminds me of three years ago. The event that I came from had to lose my brother Keanu, my husband. And until now I still feel wry, especially when driving in the rain like this. Hold my hand on the side of the chair I'm sitting on. I'm sure my face has become dull by now.

"I'm sorry, Madam..has arrived" said Mr. Parno disperse my daydreams as well as end my anxiety. "Fiuh..surprisingly" said I relieved. While trying to control my anxiety, I tidied up the clothes I was wearing. After that, I stepped out of the car and broke a thin smile towards the cafe as Keenan meant.

For a moment my eyes circled the cafe room from the doorway. I'm looking for Keenan. "Hey.." said Keenan, who was not far from me. He smiled as he extended his arm. "You don't want to welcome my arms? Do you want to embarrass me?" he said half a whisper. I was surprised to hear that word. Then I hesitated a little and grabbed his arm. "Please, dear.." he said with a smile.

"Please, Keenan." I cried in my heart with my every step to a table. It's a little in the corner of the room. Keenan smiled at me incessantly. And I always turn my eyes elsewhere. I never wanted to look at him directly. "order. Didn't we order anything?" I said a little gago. "Ah, come on Fara. Don't spoil the romance of our first date" he said, grabbing my hand and intending to kiss her. Grateful I managed to pull my hand out until the point was broken. "O, hahaha.." he laughed at my treatment.

"Perhaps after seeing this, your speech will change" Keenan said casually. His eyes are looking at me. Maybe he was waiting for my reaction. I grabbed Keenan's phone and found a video. I suspected when watching the contents of the video to make several pairs of eyes pay attention to me, including Mirza. "What are you going to do with Rafan...?" kapaku. "Calm Fara. We're getting a lot of people's attention" he said, calming me down.

"What are you going to do with Rafan...?" ask me one more time. "I'll throw her off the top of that building if you refuse to marry me" she said casually as she leaned against the chair.

Deg.

I'm fucked. My eyes looked at him with anger. "Come on, Fara don't be like that. Don't spoil your beauty with that insignificant anger. And again this is our first date you should be happy" he said while sipping the juice served. "Powerful Keenan." I said more and more furious. "Coward...? This is not a cowardly act. This is Fara's strategy. Strategy.." he said which ended with a grin and a snort that made me shudder.

"I think you've ruined our dating scene. I don't eat anymore" he said, standing up. "Yes, I don't really need your consent to our marriage. Because I'm sure you'll agree to it." she said just before leaving me with all my anger.

For a long time I was silent. I took a breath again and again. Meanwhile, my hand was busy playing the phone on the table. My mind bounced back, looking for the best way for Rafan. "Strategy.." I muttered while nodding lightly.

Then I just stepped out of the cafe in a hurry. A few gazes followed my quick steps, but I didn't care. I just kept walking until I left the cafe. There is a relief when you are outside the cafe. Then my relief increased when I saw a silver sports car approaching me.

"Please, madam." so glad Mirza when the car door opens. I smiled faintly and immediately sat down sweetly next to her. "Thank you." I said without looking at him.

"How's the date...?" said Mr. Mirza while driving his silver sports car. "She just wanted to let me know that in two days I have to marry her. And Rafan is his guarantee. That I must be prepared. If not, then Rafan is in danger" I said with a voice trembling with anger raging in the chest. "Coward.." said Mirza. There was anger in his tone.

"We need a strategy, sis.." I said. "Strategy...? What's for?" said brother Mirza. His words contain bait. "Strategy to save Rafan" I said. "I don't think we need a strategy, Fara. You just need to marry her, then Rafan will survive. You will also be a happy family" he said without looking at me. "Don't you think I'd marry Keenan? Outrageous of you, brother." I said, ending with a blow to his arm. He also chuckled at my treatment.

"I'm heartless...!" I said with annoyance.
