As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon

Episodes 30. Meeting With Mr. Darius

I never imagined where I would get this much courage. After I sent a message to master Darius I finally fulfilled his wish to meet him. And again it was the Pandu bang who gave an escort over me without the knowledge of sister Mirza or father. I begged him not to tell them both.

Ten o'clock past ten minutes. I was sitting on a chair in the corner of a park. The promised place as my meeting place with Mr. Darius. My eyes circled about as wide as a flower bed that swayed in the wind then. Bang Pandu was standing not far from where I was. His eyes were so staring around. Shortly afterwards there was a man walking straight to where I was. Part of his face was covered with his sunglasses. He is lord Darius.

Deg.

Deg.

Deg.

My heart's beating great. The rhythm is erratic. It's gonna be history. I was reunited with the man who had given my body black. The man I managed to avoid for the past year or so. The man who had made the Pandu bang surprised and hid his face instantly. I saw the prilanya. "Hey...what's the matter?"I said in my heart a little curious. Beautiful." said Mr. Darius as he stood before me. "Why would you like to see me?" I said without paying attention to his gaze. "Mara...Fara, one year without seeing you, it's getting pretty and.." said Mr. Darius. And he laughed as I turned my eyes to look at him. "Enjoyous." he said in between his laughter. Almost bang Pandu approached us with a clenched hand. But I prevented it through my hand gesture. "What do you want?" i'm firm. "I want you to." he said confidently. "I...?" my spoken. This time I looked at him quite boldly, though my heart beat could hardly be mastered. "Huh...Ilove you.. Really" he said, crouching in front of me. "I was wrong to treat you badly. Disrespectfully. And I'm sorry. Ever since you left me, I've been upset. My life feels empty. I felt like I was missing the precious thing in my life, which was you Fara" she said, who kept looking at me and crouching in front of me. "You think I'm full of all your talk? You think I forgive everything you've done? I am disgusted by everything you have done and said. You've given me a stain in my life. The stain that has up to now affected the calmness of my soul" I said as I stood and was about to pass. "Wait for Fara. Listen explanation. I beg you." said Mr. Darius again who managed to prevent my departure.

"Maybe for some people it will feel strange, a 32-year-old adult man loves a child who was in high school at the time. But isn't that love. Love freely chooses to whom it will be present?" he said, "that's your love not my love...!" i'm firm. "So I ask you, Lord Darius, not to haunt me anymore. Because I'm a nobody. Because I don't love you" I said firmly. "You....!" said Mr. Darius almost shouted. His hands clenched violently. I thought he was going to do something bad, but it turned out that he just kept quiet and held back his anger. "I'm the only one who understands your current situation. If you think your body is stained, then I will remove it" said Mr. Darius again. "The arrogant Lord Darius is already a caring person. Where did you care about that one year ago? When dirty hands want it to wander my body and make stains on my body that until now I can not remove. Say....!" I said with full anger. "I'm sorry Farah. Pardon...!" said Mr. Darius. "Enough...! I think everything's clear. I ask Don't see me again or even express all your arrogant love. I'm not an easy snot kid you lure chocolate to be willing to be your toy" I said as I passed quickly full of anger. "Fara.." call Mr. Darius to try to prevent my move by grabbing me forcibly into his arms. I thrashed out great in his arms. "I beg Fara to marry me. I swear, I've changed...!" it was like pleading. "I'm sorry, sir." said bang Pandu while clutching Mr. Darius's arm. "Take off my Madam. Do not let me do more to you" said bang Pandu again with firm and full charisma. This of course immediately made Mr. Darius loosen his deakpan. "I'm not letting go because I'm afraid of you. I'm just giving room to Fara." said Mr. Darius. "Mys....!" said Mr. Darius half-cried as I ran leaving him in the splendor of Pandu's bang.

Eleven o'clock past fifteen minutes. I was in the car. I sniffle. I covered my face with both hands. My heart is wounded, my soul languishes over all the words of Lord Darius. "Yes Robb. And before long I immediately shrank in tears when I heard the car door open. I have repeatedly shed tears that have soaked some of my face. "Don't say anything to Mirza or to Dad. Let me say it" I said. "Good, Mistress. On request. I can understand" said bang Pandu who looked at me through the main rearview. "Thank you for helping me." I said again, staring at the rain that began to fall and stuck to the window. "We go home, Madam." asked bang Pandu who again looked at me through the main spy. I also nodded slowly. And the car was traveling at medium speed through the rain that greeted the earth.

"Yes, Sir. Madam just traveled. Madam met with a friend" said bang Pandu. I'm sure he's talking to Mirza's sister. "Okay sir." he said again. This time he looked at me. "Say sir, Madam's phone please activate" said bang Pandu. Half surprised I took my phone from my bag. I also smiled when I saw my lifeless phone alias inactive. I did deactivate it when I met Mr. Darius earlier.

Drrt... Drrt... Drrt...

My phone glowed shortly after I activated it. Ten messages from Mirza filled my inbox. Some asked for my whereabouts, some asked about my situation. "Sorry not to tell" as soon as I reply to Mirza's message by inserting an apology emoji.

"I'm sorry. My love is not a joke. And rest assured I have changed." a message from master Darius stunned me. "I'm sorry I held you earlier. I'm losing control. I'm missing a way to stop your steps" a message from Mr. Darius again. Please forgive me" said Mr. Darius I opened. And on this last message I replied to him. "If you want to apologize to me, then fulfill my request. I want you to not interfere with my life anymore. Go as far as possible. If you fulfill it, then I'm sorry to give it. But if not, then until life leaves the body even once sorry I will never give" so my reply.

And sure enough, before long Mirza's silver sports car preceded us. Kak Mirza also stopped at the parking point in a large parking area of an uninhabited shop. "Please Madam wait here. Just a moment" said Bang Pandu while out of the car and met Kak Mirza who was a little far away where I was. They both seem to be involved in the conversation. I don't know what the two are talking about. Even though I sharpened my hearing, but still I was unable to listen to the conversation of the two. What is clear is that Mr. Mirza hinted at his dislike for the narration of the Pandu bang. This is clearly reflected in the look on his face. Last I saw Brother Mirza was so upset. His anger became uncontrollable. His face hardened and his face clenched. No doubt, he also hit broken to the mess of the glass window mobi sport silver repeatedly. "Sister Mirza...!" I shouted so loudly. Soon I got out of the car and ran to him.

My cry broke especially when I saw her hand bleed with some broken glass sticking to her fist. I don't know what I was thinking at the time, I immediately hugged him. Brother Mirza returned my embrace. I can feel his breath so hunting for signs his anger has not been controlled. Still in his arms, the goal-sound was the sound of Isak restrained. I also looked up at my sister Mirza's face. I made sure of what I was hearing. It is true that Mirza is the one who is shedding tears. The more he sobbed, the tighter he grabbed me. As if he refused to let me go. "Hey...What is this?" my inner. There are many questions at the end of my heart. I finally chose silence. Without saying anything. And also let myself as her backseat cry. Meanwhile Bang Pandu stood his back to us. His eyes stared as wide as the quiet-looking parking lot. It seems he gave space and time for us to open each other to the existing turmoil even in silence or just in the form of crying.

Twelve o'clock, thirty minutes. I lost the word. He had no power to say a word. Right now we're sitting near blood spills and broken glass car. I've shrunk my tears, as my hands begin to clean the cuts and glass shards on Mirza's fists. His eyes were so fixed on me. There was grief and anger there, as I looked at him. Meanwhile, his other hand rubbed the tip of my head slowly. There was no reaction when I pulled out the last piece of glass deep enough on his fist. Perhaps her pain has been defeated by her and her liking. Last time I bandaged his wound that was still dripping blood. And again he took me back in his arms. "I'm sorry." he said as he stood and leaned against the side of his car.

"Well, we're going to the hospital or to the clinic. I'm afraid the wound will get worse if it's not handled properly" asked me, who was immediately rejected outright Mirza. "We'll just go home to my apartment. Let Bang David take care of it" Mirza said, sitting behind the wheel. Seeing that, Bang Pandu and I looked at it. But what power do we address the nature and character of Mirza's stubborn brother in addition to obeying him. "Fara's driving?" my advice. "Kin...?" he said he didn't believe. I also nodded with a smile. Finally, Mirza shifted her seat and let me take control of her silver sports car. "The father who taught me to be a big brother doesn't have to worry so" I said with a smile without looking at his face before long the car drove at medium speed and down the road that still looks wet because the earth just finished being drenched in rain.

Sister Mirza looked at me who was focusing on the streets. This time with a thin smile. Then he put his head on the back of the chair. His eyes were closed too. Is he asleep? I don't know.

Drrt...Drrt...Drrt...

Cellphone fluoresces. A call from dad. "Yes, dad.." I said hello at the beginning of the conversation. "Where...?" ask dad. "On the way home. But before Fara inter kak Mirza first. We met on our way home. Em, there was a small incident. That's why Fara delivered Mirza's sister" I said. "alright. Careful baby." said dad. "Yes, Dad.." I said hang up the phone.

At one in five minutes. My car parked quickly as if it was accustomed to the situation and condition of the basement of Mirza's apartment. We raced to Mirza's apartment after a few minutes in the elevator. A few steps from the door of the apartment, bang David also welcomed our arrival. His face was smiling. "Campaign...Bruises on the face have not healed properly, have been added another wound again. My sister is really a hotshot apparently" said bang David half tease. "Just know that his sister's a hotshot?" said sister Mirza while nudging the body bang David until slightly shifted away. "Basar semprul." said bang David with a laugh.

"Well.great nieh his helper. An expert It seems" praise bang David who looks at me for a moment. "Focus.." said brother Mirza when he found the David bang who stole my eyes. "How are you preparing for the wedding of father and Aunt Vira" asked bang David with a smile looking at me. While his hands are skillfully checking and bandaging back the hand wound of Kak Mirza. "May launch. Bang David present?" my many. "In the Lord. Bang David also includes a wife and children.maybe?" ask bang David. "Of course, who forbids it?" I said as I chuckled and looked at the two alternately.

At one in forty-five minutes. I'm saying goodbye. And I looked back at Brother Mirza so deeply. As if looking for answers to many questions that are struggling at the end of my heart over the incident in the parking area earlier. I also remained silent. Again, only my eyes can dive into the depth of the eyes of Mirza in search of answers. Not to forget my distinctive smile also unravelled to my steps towards the parking area in the basement of Mirza's apartment. "May you be well, sister Mirza." I said softly as I tried to line her steps.
