Juan And Mentari

Juan And Mentari
J&M Section 21



Mentari was brought in to meet with customers in the VIP room. He came with Susan and was accompanied by a woman called madam.


Madam is a male confidant called Big Boss. She is the one who watches all the women while meeting with her customers in person. He was also the one who set the initial price for each woman he first sold.


"20 million last night, I dare not go beyond that. Moreover, it looks like the woman is inexperienced and you say she's not a high-ting virgin either." One of the customers began to bid what the highest price he could afford to spend.


"Boss, she's not a high-ting virgin. But trust me, you will be satisfied with it. Didn't you say you wanted a woman who was a little challenging, I think she's in your criterion, Boss. So, raise it a little more. Or did I give it to someone else?" Madam always knows how to provoke her customers into buying. "If the Boss raises again, the Boss can take him not just overnight, but 24 hours" he added with a blink of an eye.


Back, the man who was already a regular customer of the night entertainment venue was staring at Mentari from top to bottom.


"All right, 50 million. That's the highest price I can give and let him accompany me for 24 hours" the man said.


Madam seemed to think. "alright. Since the customer boss stays here, I agree. But, return this woman tomorrow night at exactly 22:00 WIB, just like the current hour," Madam replied.


"Deal." The customer and the lady called Madam shook hands.


"But this time the money is first the boss is new." Madam is back.


"Currently, don't believe you. I've been a regular at this place for years still can't believe it." The man is grieving.


"Yes... Got a new item, if suddenly you take him away how? I'm the one who has the same power as Boss Frengky."


Through M-Banking, the man transfers the money to Madam's account number.


"Where? I can take him away, right?" ask the man.


Madam saw the incoming notification on the flat object had it. His smile expands to see the nominal sent by the customer. It turned out that in addition to the amount that was agreed upon the man gave an additional 1 million rupiah to Madam.


"OK, please take it away. But remember, boss, give him back tomorrow night. I will also send two men from Boss Frengky to follow you. I'm afraid girls run off in the middle of the road." Back Madam said.


"No need, I also have my own bodyguard" the man refused.


"I know, the Boss has his own bodyguard. But, if this woman escapes without an escort from us, then the Boss will have to compensate."


The man thought back. It felt unwilling too if he had to bear the loss should the woman run away. He looked back at Mentari for a moment. "Okay, but if he keeps running away, besides you have to give me back my money, I also want you to give me a woman to serve me for free. How's it?"


"No problem. Because as long as there are our men on guard, the woman will not be able to escape," replied the woman who called Madam in approval. He also chose two confidants to follow wherever the customer took Mentari. And that was indeed the intervention given by his Great Boss, Frengky.


The man took Mentari with him, followed by two bodyguards of the Frengky Boss's envoy.

Meanwhile, at the restaurant owned by Ana's grandmother, Bintang who had been working on group assignments with her two best friends Ana and Dewi was seen often daydreaming.


"Bi, why? From this morning I noticed you're always moody?" ask Ana who saw the change in attitude of her best friend. It is true, since getting a phone answer from her brother yesterday, Bintang often daydream. He was thinking about his older brother who suddenly changed.


"It's okay" replied the star. Let alone his two best friends, with his mother Bintang was not able to say the real thing he heard on the phone yesterday.


"It's okay how? You see, we've been here almost 3 hours. Never mind doing the task, every time you are asked to give your opinion you are always like a confused person," said Ana.


The star stared at the digital clock hanging on the restaurant wall. It turns out that the clock has shown at 22:00 WIB which means that they have been there for 3 hours.


"I go home first, yes, it's already malem," said Bintang who actually kept his task book back into the bag.


"Lho keeps his job?" ask Ana.


"Tomorrow we will do it again" replied the Star. "An, Dew, I'm sorry because today I'm not focused." Of course Bintang feels guilty to his two best friends. 3 hours, they spent in vain.


"It's okay with duty. But really, you don't want to tell us anything?" Ana is worried about her best friend.


"Yes, Bi. If there is a story problem to us, maybe we can not always help. But, who knows, by telling me the burden on your heart is a little reduced?" The goddess spoke.


Stars shake. "It's okay, thank you because you're worried about me" he replied.


Ana and Dewi walked up to the Star and gave her best friend a hug.


"We know you're having a problem, even though we don't know what problem you're facing. But, you have to believe that we're both always there for you, Bi."


"Yes, Bi. Although Ana and I can not help you, but rest assured whenever you need us, we are ready to help," added Dewi.


The words of Ana and Goddess made the Stars smile. At least he was happy to know he was not alone. His two best friends will always be there for him.


"Thanks yes" said the star.


"Because it's already quite malem, let my grandmother's driver who anterin lo go home," said Ana.


Among the Stars, Goddess, and Ana. Ana is among those. His grandmother owned a restaurant that was once very crowded. Unfortunately, for two years, her grandmother's restaurant was a little quiet.


Stars nodded. It is customary for each of them to perform their duties overnight, the driver of Ana's grandmother has a duty to take the Star and Goddess back to their home.


The star and Goddess waved to Ana as soon as they got into the car. Not long after the car left the restaurant.

Juan finally arrived in the country he wanted. From the airport he went straight to his apartment. The two-bed apartment still looks dirty because it has not been inhabited for a long time.


Juan began to take out one by one his belongings from inside the suitcase. He was a little surprised when it turned out that he was carrying his picture with Mentari. The photo they took while celebrating their 3rd anniversary. At that time they felt that they were created for each other. But now the opposite is happening.


If time could be turned, Juan would like to go back to that time. A time of only happiness between himself and Mentari.


"Do you know Dance? I'm so sorry to follow that stupid bet. I'm sorry that I lost you." I don't know how many times Juan claimed to be sorry for the stupid bet he made. He took the photo and put it on the nightstand. However, either because he was lacking in the middle of putting it or because he did not concentrate the newly placed photo suddenly fell to the floor and along with it he returned to mind with Mentari. His feeling was suddenly agitated and his left chest suddenly hurt.


"What is this really about? Why did I return to Mentari's mind? Did I just call him?" Juan. Juan took his cell phone and typed Mentari's name. However, she undoes her intention because she is afraid that Mentari's husband will misunderstand. "No. I can't call him. If I call her Mentari's gonna get in trouble with her husband."


Juan put the phone back in his hand into his pocket. He then turned to look at the fallen frame scattered. Juan then picked up a photo of himself and Mentari who fell to the floor.


"Dance, you're okay, right? Are you happy with your new life?" he said while looking at the photo in his hand.
