As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon

Episode 36's. A Confession ...

Ten o'clock past ten minutes when we entered an office building parking lot. An office with a beautiful garden. "Good day, sir." said Mr. Dirman and a security man. "Sorry, Mister...Mr. has been waiting in the meeting room" said Mr. Dirman again. "Good...Thank you, sir" said Mirza as he stepped up. His hand held my finger tightly. I don't know why he did it, but it's in the office. Unusual place to do something like this. Mirza's steps are sometimes very long, so sometimes I find it difficult to align them as well. But what makes me nervous is when there are many pairs of eyes staring, especially at the grip of our hands. Maybe they were wondering about my current whereabouts. "Siang, sir.." said a middle-aged employee who turned out to be Mirza's deputy in the office. "Have been waiting in the meeting room. The meeting materials I sent yesterday. Did you accept it?" said mr. Danu. Brother Mirza also agreed while receiving a copy of the file in question. "Sir Danu please prepare one more seat in the meeting room" Mirza said shortly after stopping his steps. "For what, sir.." said Mr. Dani. It seems that Mr. Danu actually knew of Mirza's wishes. "For my wife." said Mirza, looking at me. Hearing that, Mr. Danu looked surprised. He was stunned and looked at me. "Sir Danu." said Mirza. "O...Yes, Mister. Sorry.." said Danu gagu. "Later to tell me. Now please prepare, sir" said Mirza. "I should not wait anywhere else, sis.." I said. "It doesn't need to be like that. Just follow it, baby." said sister Mirza while rubbing my head. Danu smiled at the director. "alright, Mister...I prepare" said Mr. Danu shortly before it passed.

Ten o'clock past twenty minutes. I entered the meeting room. Luckily I was wearing a blazer so it was almost similar to work clothes. Standing all employees welcomed the presence of sister Mirza who looked smiling friendly. "Please Mrs.." said Mr. Danu to me. A chair was prepared for me. Seeing that I looked at Mirza's sister and she slightly rounded her eyes towards me. It was an order for me to fulfill all my wishes. And thus, I immediately sat down on the chair that had been prepared.

"Well we start meeting today." said Mirza full of charisma. I saw it like looking at the other side of Mirza Carrier who was very different when at home or while on campus as I had seen before. Almost thirty minutes I was in the meeting room and I fell more and more in love with everything that was on her. Mirza's maturity in arguing with all the sexy heads has captivated me. He is so good at word-turning giving amazing ideas that all sexy heads are able to accept.

Eleven o'clock past five minutes. The meeting is still going on. All the brilliant ideas are contained in the forum. And for the next collected the best steps to further succeed the company. "What, according to Lady Fara..?" asked Mirza suddenly who of course made my heart fog. But not Fara's name if I can't cover my baldness. I smiled at Mirza. "Please, Mistress. It is also important to hear the opinion of the mistress" said Mirza again while slightly raising his eyebrows. Got the urge, my memory was immediately focused on my father when preparing a marketing strategy. "Em, sorry. I think for the introduction of good products or promotional services the most accurate is the promotion of us for us" said I. "It can be explained, Madam means promotion from us for us" said an employee. "Em, sorry. Our promotion for us is.." I stopped and saw Mirza's sister nodding as a gesture for me to continue the explanation. "Every employee is a promotional ambassador. Not every employee has a network of various social media. So every employee has a responsibility to promote through their social media. Thus, promotional costs can be further reduced" I said again. And this time made Kak Mirza to give applause for me followed by the section chief in the meeting room. Smile expands. "Then he grabbed the shoulder with his arm. This made all eyes look at us. "She's Miss Mirza. Yesterday we got married" Mirza said with a smile. And the statement actually makes them look at each other as if they do not believe.

"This.." said Mirza showed a video of his laptop and showed it. The video contains a recording of our wedding. The mood is boisterous. "Well, why didn't you invite us" said a section chief. "Will be invited. This is ijab qobulnya. There will be another show. To be sure, please help me to dispel the rumors in this office. I have known for a long time and I also feel the efforts of everyone to make the rumors real" Mirza said firmly. "Well, sir.." said almost simultaneously. "Well, today's meeting was enough. Schedule a meeting again to break down our plans in this week as well" said Mirza with charisma.

Eleven o'clock past fifty minutes. I accompanied Mirza's footsteps out of the meeting room. "Sir Danu please call Mr. Bowo. I want to order something" said Mirza, clenching her hand. Our steps did not recede even though there were many question mark gazes from all employees. Especially from a woman who stood in the corner of the room and had been relentlessly staring at our every step. His face is so cute.

Until in Mirza's room, then I feel relieved. I felt free from all sorts of gazes. Sitting me on the sofa while looking at Mirza's sister who had been absorbed in returning with her work. "Come in.." said Brother Mirza when the door of the room was knocked. "Sorry, Sir. Master called me?" said an OB. Maybe this is Mr. Bowo. "Em, Yes...Sir" said Mirza with a smile. "Sir please go to the usual resto. The menu I ordered. Make two servings yes to me" said Mirza while handing over several pieces of money a hundred thousand to Mr. Bowo. "Well, sir.." said Mr. Bowo just before he passed.

After Mr. Bowo, brother Mirza is sitting next to me. Her lips revealed a smile so special. "We just eat here, baby." said Mirza who immediately rubbed my head. "Em, Brother. Sorry earlier. Fara was curious about the word rumor. If you can tell what it is?" tanyku carefully. Getting the question, Mirza sighed deeply. For a long time he was silent, without a word. And only his eyes were looking at me. Once in a while his hand, again rubbed the shoots of my head slowly. "Come, Brother. The story... Oya, there was a beautiful female official staring non-stop. Who her? Big sister's boyfriend who broke her heart?" my spoken. "I've never had a special woman other than you. Really.." said brother Mirza while fixing the location of my veil. "Who is that girl?" my many. "Some one tried to match us. But it failed, because I never pushed it. Because in my heart there is only Fara. Even though I was in a state of turmoil at the time because you disappeared like you were swallowed by the earth" the story goes. "Therefore, I want to immediately justify you so that I don't lose you again" he said, pinching my nose. I smiled and was flattered by Mirza's words.

Twelve o'clock and forty minutes. The knock on the door managed to loosen the deck of Mirza's brother shortly after we had performed the Dzuhur prayer. And once again I kissed his back and palms. "Come in." said Mirza, folding the prayer mat and giving it to me. "Sorry, sir, Madam." said Mr. Bowo as he placed Mirza's order on the table. "Thank you, sir.." said Mirza shortly before Mr. Bowo passed.

Shortly thereafter, we enjoyed the menu. Sharing food or feeding each other with our hands directly or cleaning the leftovers that stick to our faces. And this is not the romance of the newlyweds, but Mirza is indeed a romantic figure before and after we got married.

"Oh, sorry. I thought there were no guests." said a well-built man who suddenly opened the door without knocking first. "Sir Evans.." I said softly. "Hey, Brother, come in" said brother Mirza while fixing his seat that was originally so close to me. And the one who is welcome to go straight in and sit on the sofa. His eyes were straight on me. "How are you, Fara..?" he said with a smile. "Well, sister." I said to one of Mirza's older brothers from a different mother. "What's up, brother?" ask Mirza. "I'm just delivering this report." said Mr. Evans, handing over a file. "good. Thank you, Brother. I will check" said Mirza with a smile. "Yes, my wife thinks you met on campus?" said Evans, looking at me. "Fara...? brother Evans' wife...?" I said while trying to remember. I also looked at Mirza who was also staring at me as if she was looking for something. "Fara doesn't know, sister...I'm sorry" I said later, which made Mr. Evans chuckle. "Okay, Fara. All I'm talking about is Sherlly." Evans said.

Deg.

I'm stunned. My eyes fixed on Evans' brother. As if I couldn't believe it. But I see no doubt there. There's only seriousness. As the blood flow returned after a moment as if to stop, I also ventured to say briefly. "Sherlly.." I said. "Yes, Sherlly. Your Mirza sister didn't tell you?" said Mr. Evans who made me look directly at Mr. Mirza, asking for an explanation. "Don't involve me. I'm tired." said Mirza a little annoyed.

Evans Flashback

My heart beat violently when I saw the girl who had been betrothed to me. I always steal his eyes. Her beautiful face with a slippery style of speech made me even more interested. And although I looked at the other girls, Fara, my heart was already attached to Sherlly. The girl I've been betrothed to. I noticed with my tail the figure of the girl who had captivated me, especially when she was talking or joking and making fun of Ferry. Everything has made me fall in love, maybe repeatedly every time he worked out that managed to make my heart rhythm erratic. And I got even more excited when I drove her home. The current situation really supports me. The endless drizzle of rain made Ferry, Fara and Sherlly unable to refuse my offer.

The car was traveling at medium speed through the increasingly heavy rain. Every now and then my eyes steal a glance at Sherly from the rearview mirror of the car. I admit Fara is much prettier, but somehow my heart prefers Sherlly.

After meeting with Sherlly, I went straight to see Mama Melisa. I asked my mom to ask Sherly. The sooner the better as I say. Unexpectedly, my mother agreed. According to mama this is indeed supposed to be done, because this matchmaking has happened a long time ago and maybe this is the time.

That night Mama, I, Mirza and Bang David went to Sherly's house. Mama also re-expressed our intentions and goals at that time. And Melisa's family accepted and agreed. Sherly, she was so shocked to see me especially after knowing who I was and what my true purpose was. He also accepted this match. And tonight also the time of marriage was set which is 2 weeks after the current meeting. There is a sense of happiness that is milling in the recesses of my heart.

Time passed by so quickly and arrived at the time as it had been set, the day on which I married Sherlly. Although the preparation time is so short but everything goes according to the wishes. Drive to Sherlly's house. Mama Melissa, Mirza, bang David and some relatives drove me with joy. Unfortunately, Roy was not with us. He was busy looking for the woman he loved. A woman I thought was just a fantasy. About who and how the woman was brother Roy never told it. It became his secrecy.

Eight o'clock exactly. The event also began. My heart is relentlessly beating great. His degup is so erratic. I don't know what cramp he's playing. "I accept the marriage and marriage of Sherlly Maheswari Az-Zahra bint Hermawan Kertajaya with the mascawin paid in cash." I said aloud and did not hesitate in the slightest. Thankfulness was also spoken when two witnesses declared valid for the sentence of my kabul ijab. I smiled happily looking at Mama Melisa with a clear circle floating in both eyes or the smile of Mirza and Bang David. Especially when staring at the happy hue on Sherly's face, the girl who is now legally my wife. "You're happy...?" I said just after he had softly kissed his forehead. He nodded and was embarrassed.

Evans Flashback Off

I was stunned to hear the words of Mr. Evans who I thought was so sudden. I still don't believe it. "Why, don't you believe me...?" said Mr. Evans. "Sherlly is my best friend even like a brother. I feel.." I said hanging and staring at Mirza's sister who was back busy with her work. "Not willingly? Ow...Mirza must have told you about my gray life? That's the past. I have repented. I want to start a new life with Sherlly. Really.." said Mr. Evans wistfully. "Please take care of Sherlly, brother. Never let him down." I replied with a smile and a nod of my head.

"Yes, what about Mr. Darius? At that time, Mr. Evans met his father and talked about Mr. Darius." I said. "You know Mr. Darius like your father?" ask Evans to look at me. "From him is.." said brother Evans hanging when cut off brother Mirza. "Enough.quite. Brother Evans I asked for a file last month. Please bring it.." said brother Mirza trying to end the conversation. Evans stared at Mirza's sister just before she passed. "Don't hamper my work" said Mirza as she slightly rounded her eyes. I looked at the two with a smile. But at the end of my heart there is a big question hanging.
