ENDRO, THE BODYGUARD

ABOUT MENTARI

Endro's return from the camp, seemed to change himself in the eyes of the father. He became quiet despite the many times his father asked.

"Did the border guard reprimand you, End?" Kamil asked tired of being ignored by the son.

"Oh.. Uh... What's the matter, Dad?" Endro was nervous, and asked again.

"You become quiet, tasteless and dreamy." Ketus Kamil's.

"Endro only thinks with Mentari, Dad." Reveal it.

"Content? Is Mentari Alex's son?" Ask Kamil confused.

"Yes, Dad..."

"What else is with him? Does he still like to say you're a pickle boy?" Terka Kamil's.

"No, Dad... Poor him."

"Pity? Poor how? Don't you like being annoyed at that nosy girl?" Kamil suppressed his words, for Endro to recall how he had complained about the girl's behavior towards him in the past.

"Dad knows Mentari is just Alex's adopted son?" Tanya Endro looked at Kamil full of question marks.

"Huhuh? Foster child?" Kamil. "You're just talking, Endro. If anyone hears how?" Kamil looks worried.

"The commentaries themselves admit it, Dad." Endro. His eyes glare. He recalled the time, when he saw the girl being beaten up by Alex.

"Before, Mentari had passed out. And Endro himself took him to Nini's place. He was picked up by his family there. And Nini said, that Mentari is only the adopted son of Mr. Alex because he could not bear to see Mr. Alex pull Mentari to come home. Nini seemed to know all the suffering of Mentari, Well..."

Kamil seemed devastated to hear the story of Endro.

"Even after that, Endro saw Mentari being beaten by his father mercilessly. Poor Mentari, Dad..." Endro's teary eyes told the girl's fate to her father.

"Then?" Kamil was getting curious. Yes, because he is a very loving father figure.

"Come, Dad... I don't know what will happen to him, especially in the rainy season like now. He's afraid of lightning, Dad..." Endro said. But his mind did not escape the shadow of the girl.

"How do you do, so that Endro can save her, Dad? Endro thought that such a story was only in the movies. But Endro saw it with Endro's own eyes. He's always a pale face. His body is often bruised.

He looks tired, Dad..."

"Alex is notoriously rude in this region, End. But no one knows, that Mentari is just his adopted son.

He used to be in prison for heirloom. His family reported him on charges of falsifying his grandfather's land certificate. And Lita, his wife. She went to work as a maid in another town. At that time, Juwita was still two years old.

And eleven years later, he came back here with two daughters.

"No, Dad. They must have lied to be able to master the treasures of Mentari's parents.

Mentari said, Bi Lita is his assistant. Because his parents died in an accident, while he had no one else. He was taken care of by Bi Lita. Mentari doesn't want to be put in an orphanage, Dad. That is why Mentari was willing to be tortured by them.

When Mentari turned seventeen, Mentari was forced to sign the transfer of her parents' possessions to Bi Lita. So that he really could not escape their cruelty." Endro told his father everything he knew about the girl.

"If he's a foster kid, why would he say you're a picker?" Kamil asked increasingly confused.

"Because of Dad..." Sahut Endro's.

"Huh?"

"He's seen us a few times. He said he wanted to have a father like Dad. He saw Dad loved me so much. She's envious."

"But why would you say that?" Kamil was increasingly made clueless by his son's explanation.

"He's jealous, Dad. And he's a prestige too. He thought, I have no mother but a good father. My life is happy, he thinks.

He wants to know Dad. He also wants to feel the affection of Dad." Endro. He recalled the desire of Mentari that night.

"Sometimes, bring him here, End."

"No, Dad..." Elak Endro's.

"Loh, why?" Kamil seemed to pinched his forehead. He stared confusedly at Endro's behavior.

"That's the same as Endro digging a grave for her..."

"What?" Kamil's eyes widened to hear Endro's confession.

"If Mr. Alex and his family find out, he'll punish Mentari, Dad. Mr. Alex will beat Mentari again mercilessly." Endro. He looks creepy when he remembers that.

Kamil termangu's. He stepped on the sincerity of the look on his son's face. Sincere in worrying about the girl he recognizes as Alex's daughter. Kamil stared at his son's pity, who might not only feel sorry for Mentari. But more than that, a man's sincere feelings for a woman.
