# MENTARI POV #
I packed all my clothes into a suitcase to get ready to go. Where am I going to avoid it? to be honest, I don't know yet. I'll think about it later. I got out of the room dragging my suitcase. Looks mama and papa also Niar sitting on the sofa.
"Are you sure of your decision?" asked the mother who was standing right up to me.
On the way home from Darel's house, mom and dad kept telling me to think back to my decision, except for Niar. Niar seemed to support my decision to go far away from Darel. There was no doubt in my decision on his face even a little bit.
"Yes, mom! I've thought about it carefully!" I answered as if to convince them that I would be okay out there. By ourselves.
"But.but..."
"Here it is, ma, we can only support it! papa hope you're okay wherever you are, Dance! don't forget to call us if you need our help! we're still your master's men, son!" I said to my father who always touches my heart.
Ah, how can I meet a family as good as them? a stranger they take in and consider like their own family. Even they were willing to exile their eldest son just to defend me. Mama, papa, thank you for everything! sorry for always troubling you.
"Ma, pa, Niar, I'll go first! bye bye!" I softly say goodbye to my second family.
They just nodded and hugged me one by one. I started to step foot out of this house. There was a taxi in front of me I ordered. The driver who saw my arrival immediately rushed my suitcase to the trunk. For the last time I say goodbye to my mom, dad, and Niar. Looks worried in the eyes of mama and papa but this has become my decision. Go awayl. Far from this town. These memories. Also Darel.
The taxi started to drive away from Daniar's house. For a few seconds my tears just fell. Not willing to leave them. If Darel had been honest with me. It won't be like this. Well, I was too disappointed in my husband because he was hiding something big from me. As a wife I deserve to know from the little things to the big things from her. About him who was a mobster I just found out when kidnapped by the Drago Mark group.
For a moment I woke up from my daydream when I remembered my old house.
"Sir, can we turn our way to the rose path?" my many.
"Good, non!" said the driver.
The taxi turned towards my old house. It didn't take us long to get to my house. I took a deep breath and then I exhaled violently. Hahhhh, the atmosphere is still like before.
"It's non, the suitcase!" said the driver dropped my suitcase.
"Thank you sir!" say me.
The taxi then came out of the yard of my old house. Just sec. How come there's a yellow flag next to my house? oh, my God, is that Uus' house? was he the one who died?
I walked quickly to Uus's house. Arriving there many mourners who were present filled the room in the middle of which there was a corpse.
"Loh, um Dance? when's home?" ask Ririn who was also my neighbor first.
"Must. Rin.it.." said hesitantly pointing towards the corpse covered in rags.
"That's Uus mbak." said Ririn slowly as if to understand the meaning of my question.
"Innalilahi wa innailaihi! how can? when's death?" many shock.
He was a very good person to me all along.
"So morning, half an hour in the morning. He died suddenly too. Though only last night was taken to the hospital for complaining of colds, uh even this morning is no longer there. Yes, that age no one knows!" ririn.
Ririn and I also sat down to read tahlil for the late Uus. I still can't believe it felt like he died so soon.
In the evening, I was satisfied to meet kangen with my old house carrying a suitcase in front of the house. I've booked a taxi online from the green app. Not long ago there was a call from the owner of the taxi I ordered.
"Hallo, with Miss Mentari?"
"Yes, sir! I've been waiting in front of the house!" my spoken.
"Sorry, non! it seems that can not enter because the road is closed only bikers who pass. There may be a curse."
Why can I forget. Last morning when I came on the road to go to the highway there were many people who were putting up a pilgrimage tent. Duhh, why forget this.
"Ah, yes sir, sorry I forgot! I was the only one there! wait a minute sir!" I said bring a suitcase to the highway.
"Oh well, non!" said the driver and the call was cut off.
Tin..tin...tin....
I looked at the source of the voice. A bright light shone into my eyes until my reflexes instantly closed both of my eyes with one arm.
BRUKK.....
I bounced far enough ahead. My body started to melt. My consciousness is beginning to disappear. Seen a few passersby coming in droves towards me.
I can only hear someone calling my name. But late. My consciousness is completely gone.
# AUTHOR POV #
Mentari collapsed after being hit by a passing car while about to cross. The owner of the car took him to a nearby hospital for treatment.
"Doctor!!!! doctor!!!!" shouted the car owner.
"What's this about? what's going on?" ask a doctor who was on guard that night.
"He accidentally got hit by my car!" said the tall and handsome man.
"Alright, take him to the ER room!" the doctor gave orders to the nurse.
They pushed the cage towards the ER room. Inside, Mentari got medical treatment. The man who accidentally hit Mentari was seen pacing in front of the door of the room. Hope to be worried about the state of Mentari.
Not long after, the doctor came out of the room. The man ran over to the doctor.
"How's the doctor doing?" ask the man.
"Thank God he's fine. There were only minor injuries on his head, elbows and on his legs. I have made a prescription to recover the wound please redeemed at the bottle." explained the doctor.
"Ohh thank goodness! imaged, God! I'll make up later doc! can I look inside first?" ask the man.
"Oh please!" the doctor said then left.
The man immediately entered the Mentari room and how surprised Mentari was when he saw this man in front of him.
"Sister...sister Candra?" ask Mentari.
********
That night was very sad for Darel. Darel chose to spend the night at Arul's bar with his other best friend. Alcohol kept him gulping to ease the immortality in his heart. Messed up. It's so messed up his feelings right now.
"Rul?!" call Rohan concerned.
"Why would he leave meuu?!!! look at me now..I screwed up without diaaa..hikss....hiksss....where pull me nowaranggg!!!" racau Darel is drunk.
"It's Dwi! stop that! stopit!" said Zanu took a bottle of alcohol from Darel's hand but was about to be retaken by Darel.
"Bring him upstairs. He's lost his mind because Mentari left behind!" arul said while sipping alcohol.
"Good idea!" Zanu.
Zanu started carrying Darel. Because Darel was under the influence of alcohol, Darel continued to rave about Mentari and her grief.
"You if you are not aware again gini tuh troublesome just from the first! where's the weight again!" said the exhausted Zanu carrying Darel's body.
Seeing the troubled Zanu, Arul, Tomi, Bagas, and Rohan helped. They expended all their energy but were still not strong enough to lift Darel's body.
"Well.hah.hah!!! I swear this is a person given to eat what the hell is the same Mentari?! how heavy anj*r!!" moaning Arul when he reached Darel's room in the bar Arul.
"Well on! eat stone kali!!! that's why it's so heavy!" tomi's Nagging.
They all look bored carrying Darel's body. Because they were so tired, they decided to sleep in the room in their respective places.
