As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon

Episode 66's. Family Reunion of the Former

I stepped up the stairs one by one. There was pain in some parts of the body when I stepped. I know this was the result of my struggle last night with two burly men in the Revans' tavern. There are a few more stairs. And it feels like this leg can no longer step. Finally my hand held on to the wall on the left side of the stairs. I complained softly. I set my breath one-on-one. Come on. You can, Fara. I stepped back up the stairs a few more. On the last step of the stairs, I stopped. My eyes circled the entire cafe room as far as the eyes could see. "Become.." call me at last when I don't meet anyone. Indeed, there are no visitors at the cafe because it is still morning, but the employees should be present because the cafe will be open about two hours ahead. Em, yes.may be preparing for the event above. Then I decided to head to the office. It's not far from where I stand. Maybe six or ten steps to the left.

A little pain-bearing I finally reached the office. After that I sat down on a chair. I'm leaning. My eyes closed. This body pain is still felt, even more so. Last night was my first fight. My moves are sometimes not strong. Because of that my defenses are broken often. Wal the result of a few blows no doubt come to my body. Lucky Keanu came to help. Unimaginable if no one came to help, maybe I would be the months of the two burly men. Instead of helping the Revans, I'm the wretched one. Duuh′s...Robbie. Ah, Revans, my male high school friend was also the one who had contributed to my kidnapping. And what pisses me off again is that he did it all for the sake of his older sister Amara. I want to give Revans a few punches for everything he's done. Or even scratch Amara who has cut the compass of my love. But it's really not nice if I do something like that. That's why I chose to step back and walk away.

Office door on tap. A face poking out from behind the door. "Sister.what else needs to be added" said Laila, the event's in charge. "In addition to what you added earlier it doesn't seem to exist, Laila. Hopefully smoothly yes.." I said with a smile and signaled clenched hands to the front of the chest. Faiths. "Well, brother." he said with the same gesture just before it passed. I smiled at his disappearance. There is a sense of pride that creeps in the tip of the heart when you see the expertise of Laila. The girl who was so inferior at the beginning of her meeting with me. Because he is only a graduate of Junior High. But over time he became more confident especially when he managed to finish High School through the C package program. Laila's...Laila, be proud to be who you are now. May your ideals that want to have a store be achieved. "I want to be like a big brother." he said at that time when I asked him what his greatest desire was while still in CARDBOARD School. Since then I have supported her. Not because of his desire to be like me, but especially in the spirit he showed in the twinkle of his eyes at that time.

Nine o'clock past forty-five minutes. The shop and cafe are open. One or two visitors have started to appear. I also started to look at all the preparations for the event upstairs. "Perfect.." I praised Laila and the team. They got my compliment. I help as much as I can finish everything that is. Even if it's just a flower vase. Hehe....

"Fara.." a man called me. So familiar sounded. And once again he called me. I also twisted the body following the origin of the sound source. Gee whiz...I'm kelu. Round my eyes found the owner of the voice. "How are you, Fara." said bang David as he rubbed my arms. Of course I complained. Bang David looked at me. His head was raised in a gesture asking for my complaint. Not to mention answering I was startled by a little boy running towards me. His voice is so loud. "Tante Fara.." he shouted making my staff look at us. I stared at the David bang asking for clarity. Back his lips made a gesture of calling a name. "Keanu.." so it read. I stared at the boy who was half running to me. "Keanu.." said sumringah. I complained for a moment as his bulging body slid into my arms.

"Today's Keanu's birthday, Auntie" said the boy. "And Keanu does not want to be celebrated anywhere, other than in the cafe Auntie Fara" said Mikaela who just arrived. With a smile he looked at me. But at first glance there is a clumsy at the end of his eyes. I don't know why that is. Then I hugged him. There was a sense of kangen that burst into his arms.

Not over my surprise, again I had to be fixated when I saw Mirza's sister who stepped in tandem with Amara. The woman who cut my love's compass. My heart rippled as I watched the two go hand in hand. There was a desire to tear his lips together, which often insulted me and called me a thief or a prostitute. And the man next to him did not escape my evil intentions. I want to beat and stab him all out because of his planless attitude. How brutal would I be if so. It is not my nature to have to hurt others to vent my anger. Strong, Strong, Fara. "Sorry.." whispered bang David. "It's Okay." I said with a smile with a gaze that could not be separated from the couple who had made me cry.

"How are you, Fara...?" amara said a little cynical. "Well.." I said singakat. "Ow.so this is the viral cafe. Just plain.." said Amara ketus. "Ow.so this is Miss Mirza who justifies all means to get her wish" said ketus. "Mah...!" said Mirza a little snapping at me. I'm speechless. I saw a smile on Amara's face. Showing victory over the defense of Mirza. I stared in annoyance. "So don't ask the woman next to you. Brother does not know how evil he is" I said again. "That's enough...!" said brother Mirza. I'm speechless. It feels like this heart has found a defense of Mirza's sister over Amara.

"Mah...!" yelling Voice at the end of the stairs. Realizing my name was mentioned, I immediately cast my gaze at the source of the voice. I smiled at him too. Especially when he sees a boy in his bed. We also miss with a hug. A line of tears just rolled away. Either because of happiness or pain in my wounds. I'm gamang. "Son.." call a voice again. So soft and distinctive. "Mama.." I said while looking at her pretty face and had just reached the end of the stairs. I kissed the back of his hand with the same reverence as before. When I was Mirza's lover or Mirza's sister's bride who was only ten days old.

"No chair to sit on, Fara.." David laughed. I also laughed at the current situation. Then I also let my ex-husband's family in a place that has been prepared. "Did it start now, Madam" asked Laila to Mikaela's mother. "Yet. We are still waiting for one more person" Mikaela said with a smile.

I was standing not far from their table. My eyes were staring at each one present. There is a pain that I think when I see jokes and laughter include. Huh..want it feels like I'm rummaging through all the decorations and knickknacks that have been installed. However, he stopped when he saw the boy who was jubilant Keanu. The boy who insisted on being held at my cafe. Oh, that's so cute, boy...

"Well...Fara, Fara after being chased, is now thrown away. Already know the ugliness of Fara yes, Brother Roy?" said Amara spicy. Duh, women's mouths want me to taste torn. Patience.patience, Fara. Face it elegantly. Keep smiling, Fara.

"I'm not going after Fara anymore because I know there are more suitable and love Fara than me" Roy said with a smile. "Yes... Which man succeeds he fools. And which woman he hurt" said Amara looking at me cynically. My heart's heat burned with anger. Amara's spicy mouth completely destroyed my elegance. My hands are clenched. "I.." said someone at the end of the stairs. "Director.." said almost simultaneously. The most obvious surprise was Mirza's sister. At first glance I saw his hands clenched when I saw that Keanu's brother who was stepping gallantly approached me. "Hah.cuma messenger" said Amara ketus cynical. "My name is Keanu. Just like Mirza, I am also a businessman. Pandu is just a mere alias name, just like Darius aka Roy" said Keanu with a smile. Everything's quiet. Only their eyes are glazed. Same with Amara. His face was deathly deathly as he learned of Keanu's true identity. No more spicy words slid. His lips are locked. Only my mother seemed to be smiling. His eyes met me and brother Keanu took turns.

"Well..Where is the birthday?" ask brother Keanu break the mood. Little Keanu appeared sumringah when asked that. He immediately jumped in excitement. Moreover, he has also known Kak Keanu for a long time even in another name, namely Pandu. "Hey.jagoan. Our names are the same. Our birthdays are the same" Keanu said as the little boy was in his arms. "Congratulations...This is from om and Aunt Fara" said brother Keanu while handing over a parcel.

Then the event continued on Laila's initiative. Although the taste is already much different because the debate that has just been forced to end.

Slowly but surely, I shuffled away from the venue. The harsh words that I found today have hurt me even more. The heat of my eyes began to feel, therefore I accelerated my pace. And the only place I want to go is the office. Half-run I squandered in the office. I don't mind the pain in my body anymore. I just want to get away from those naive people. Those holy-spirits. I immediately closed the office door. Lean for a moment on the tightly closed door while closing your eyes.

My steps were moved near the table. Hold my hands on the edge of the table. My face listless. There is a myriad of claustrophobic stuff that fills the heart. Then I cried great. Spilling all the moody and claustrophobic. Expect to diminish or disappear altogether.

"Honey.." said brother Keanu who was behind me and immediately embraced me. Lean my head on his field chest. Shed all my bitter tears. My wounds reopened with words and insinuations that Amara threw. And what hurts more is that there is no defense from the man I once loved.

Long time I've been in Keanu's arms. Feeling his heartbeat that sometimes hit, sometimes as calm as the sea does not wave. And still in his arms I shrank my tears and wiped them with one hand. Meanwhile Brother Keanu tidied up my hood which looked a little messy. Then it ended with a swab at the tip of my head. His eyes are looking at me. "My beautiful wife, stop being sad. Strengthen your heart. We live with all the twists of this life" he said. I smile. And then again I lay my head down for a moment when a voice resuscitated us. "Fara.." said the man who was none other than Mirza's sister. He looks at me softly. "I'm sorry, Fara. I'm bound by promises and vows" he said, standing tall. "I think your promises and vows will not blind your heart and your mind. But in fact you really lost heart and mind.You can not distinguish where right where wrong" said I firmly. My eyes imply anger.

"If you could be a little patient then. Maybe we won't be like this. You're my love, Fara" said Mirza. This made Keanu's brother clench his hands. He also tried to smile. Especially when looking at me. I know there's a rumble in your chest, Brother Keanu. I'm same. "Then if I can be a little patient, what will change the current situation" I said ketus. "I think so. I must have found the best solution for us" said Mirza. "For you or for Fara?" said brother Keanu. "Make sure we'll be together, Fara. Forever" said Mirza confidently. "And Amara..?" ask brother Keanu. "I'm going to get away from her slowly" said Mirza. Huh.picik very much you If you plan so why don't you do it more than two years ago. "I don't think besides plan-plain you're also petty, brother.." I said firmly. "Mas...you want to divorce. me?" said Amara who suddenly just stood in the doorway. "It's not like that, Amara." said sister Mirza panicked. Again he looked at me. "Go Brother. And again in my heart I have not kept anything about you" I said again, shaking my hand. And that makes Mirza's sister pass. Her eyes are staring at me.
