The day goes on. Endro often visited the park, where he first saw Desri. For some reason, his thoughts were only on the girl. In fact, he was able to remove his concerns towards Mentari that he never heard from again.
However, several times he went to the park, he did not look at the girl's face again.
Disappointment was clearly reflected on his face every time he was about to leave the park.
But it was true, his eyes always found the girl. That day was the acceptance of new students at the University where he attended. And he saw the girl at the Faculty of Business and Management.
His smile returned. Only, Endro did not have the courage to approach Desri.
Desri looks like the son of a man of honor. He drives his personal car.
Although the girl was a good woman according to her judgment, but Endro knew himself so he just stared from afar.
The girl always looked cheerful. In fact, with confidence Endro slammed the sadness in his eyes. He doesn't know what's going on, but he's so sure. It's just, the girl looks good at hiding her feelings.
I wish this was just a coincidence. Something that came for a moment, but it went so fast.
Is this what you mean, Dad? If yes... Means I've intentionally made a navel for my feelings.
I will never forget my promise to Mentari. Although I realize, that I am currently falling in true love.
And I also realized, true love doesn't have to have....
I will not sacrifice Mentari. The woman who always sees me finds my presence. And lived in suffering while waiting for my presence.
If his life is long, then I am happiness for the rest of his age.
Desri was crying in the corner of the campus garden. A place that is quite isolated from the crowd. Maybe at that time he had a problem, and only himself and the Almighty knew.
Endro stared perfectly with his feelings towards Desri's shoulder which seemed to tremble violently at that time from crying while at a whim.
"Description..." Someone called out to the girl, as Endro also intended to approach her. Seen once by Endro, Desri wiped his tears quickly.
"Eh... An? What's up?" Ask trying to smile.
"What's wrong with you, Des?" Although Desri had tried to hide it, but his friend could still see his reddened eyes.
"It's okay, An?" The eagle is trying to cover up.
"Ah... I know you, Des. You are good at hiding your feelings. Is this your cousin again?"
Endro's cell phone rang from behind his pants pocket.
"Dad?" Endro murmured when he saw the name on his phone screen. He rushed to find a shelter to answer the call from his father.
Something made Endro look dumbfounded. I don't know what he received at that time.
"Yeahhhh..." Desri's screeching voice as the sound of thunder boomed, making him also more and more uncomplicated. He remembered, maybe Desri like Mentariyang was also afraid of lightning.
Endro left the park immediately after seeing Desri being hugged by his friend.
*****
The thunderous sound of lightning awakened Endro's consciousness from the shadow of his past.
"Nummie...!" He remembered the girl. The daughter of Desri and Arkhan, whom he considered his daughter.
Endro turned his head towards the clock hanging on the wall of his room. It was already showing at eleven o'clock in the evening.
The rain that was initially just drizzling, without realizing it had become a frightening storm. Lightning and thunder split apart and broke the dark sky.
"Nummi will wake up. He was the same, afraid of the sound of lightning." Endro was panicking.
Suddenly, the lights went out. Endro is increasingly worried about the seventeen-year-old girl who is vacationing in his house.
Endro got up trying to find his phone to create lights around it. Although a little tired in his search, Endro finally found his cellphone on his bedside nightstand in the room.
With a hurry, Endro immediately moved to Nummi's room. He heard the girl's sobs in his room.
"Numm... It's Om, Honey!" Endro cried while knocking on the door of the room inhabited by Nummi.
"Om Endrooooo's... Nummi takuut." The issue is getting worse.
Endro immediately opened the door of Nummi's unlocked room. And he found the girl on her knees on her bed. A thick blanket wrapped his body shivering with fear.
Endro's memory returns to his heart. The girl was exactly the same. He even smothered his ears in fear.
Endro immediately climbed onto the bed and hugged Nummi tightly. "Quiet, Honey. Om is here with you. Don't cry, yeah. Let's go to sleep again." Endro again laid Nummi's body that had not recovered his fear on the bed. He then gently stroked Nummi's shoulder, until the girl fell back asleep because of it.
