Juan And Mentari

J&M - Part 4

Meanwhile, Bintang, Mentari's sister, she goes into her brother's room and gives the box given by Rangga to him.

"Sister, this is from the guy. He said this box was from Juan, he said there was a letter in it too" Bintang said. He placed the box next to his sister sitting down.

"Thank you, Deck. Because you want to replace your brother to meet him."

Smiling stars.

"Sister, why don't you want to see that guy?"

"Sister is afraid that your heart will falter" replied Mentari.

"Sister, if Big Brother is not sure to accept the match, why did Big Brother not speak honestly with Mother. Star sure, I can understand."

"Sister doesn't want to embarrass mom, Dek. Moreover, his father Mas Iwan is already good with us."

"But, Brother… "

"Yes, Deck. Brother wants to nenangin himself first," interrupted Mentari.

"Well, if that's the case, the stars are out right now, brother."

Mentari. He looked at his sister who had just come out of his room, then the gaze turned to Juan's gift box that was beside him.

 "No Dance, no! Don't open the box. Whatever it is, it won't be able to return everything the way it used to be. You have decided to accept the proposal from Iwan, so do not let your decision waver," Mentari spoke inwardly. He kept trying to convince himself that his decision this time was right. And finally Mentari prefers to put the box in the closet, without looking at the contents in it.

"Maybe this is better" Mentari said after placing the box.

The sun breathed a long sigh, releasing all the flavors that were brewing within the chest.

"Dance, there's Iwan, son. He wants to get you fittings for your wedding dress."

The voice of the mother came from outside the room.

"Yes, Mom. Dance, get ready for a minute" replied Mentari.

After changing clothes and getting a little dressed up, Mentari came out of her room. He immediately went to the living room to meet Iwan.

"I'm ready."

Iwan who was sitting immediately stood up when he saw the arrival of Mentari.

"She's really pretty" Iwan praised inwardly. He was increasingly convinced by his decision to marry the woman in front of him.

"Ohya, who came? Did I cross paths with a black sports car in front?" ask Iwan.

"Son, did anyone come here?" ask the daughter.

"I__it, Mom, it's …."

Mentari looks nervous, he does not want Iwan or his mother to know about Rangga's arrival just now.

Iwan and Ratih looked towards Mentari, they were waiting for an answer from him.

"That's a Star friend, Mom."

Mentari was relieved that her sister had arrived on time. 

"Your star hasn't been to school? Didn't you just say there was an excrement at school?" ask Ratih to his youngest daughter.

"The book that I have to bring is left behind," replied the Star, she glanced at her brother.

"Is that really your friend? But, the car that came across from me was a luxury sports car that cost billions of you know?" ask Iwan again.

"What if the car is a luxury sports car that costs billions?" answer Stars. "Is it because I'm poor, and Iwan thinks all my friends should be poor? As long as Kak Iwan knows yes, my friends are many who are from among the billionaires."

"That's not what Iwan meant.  Only, if he's really your friend. I think you should stick to him, I'm sure he's a rich kid" Iwan said.

"Apaan kak Iwan, I am not even 17 years old, can not date with mother" said Bintang.

"Well, really dating that guy. It looks cool, but it's a friend of Brother Juan, a person who has hurt Kak Tari's heart." Inner stars.

"Son Iwan, even ngajarin are not the same stars." Ratih spoke, he shook his head.

"Sorry, Mom. Iwan was just joking," said Iwan.

"E__ Mas Iwan, don't we want fitting clothes huh? Why don't we just leave now. Fear of having a boutique there is an appointment with another customer." Mentari tried to divert the conversation.

Iwan looked at his watch and indeed this had retreated a few minutes from the schedule he should have. 

"Let's go now!" bring Mentari. He deliberately took Iwan away so that they did not ask about the guest who came just now.

"All right, we're leaving now." Iwan also does not want to be late to fit their wedding dress.

After saying goodbye to Ratih, Iwan and Mentari leave the house to the boutique.

While elsewhere ….

Juan had just come out of the operating room, his face looked tired because the operation he was following this time was arguably the longest operation he had ever participated in.  Because for almost 10 hours he and the team were in the operating room to take turns taking action.

After sterilizing his body, Juan returned to his study. Sitting down he picked up the device he had placed in the drawer.

"What news from Rangga? Tumben-dumbenan he sent a voice note even called me many times?"

Juan started listening to the voice notes sent by Rangga. And how surprised he was after hearing the voice note. Almost, the device in his hand slipped away so surprised.

Juan immediately contacted Rangga back, he wanted to know more clearly about the news conveyed by his best friend.

"Where the hell is the boy, why hasn't it been answered as well" grumbled Juan who was impatient.

"Where the hell are you? Why just lifted?!" juan nagged as soon as there was an answer from the number he was aiming for.

"Don't yell, I'm not a prank!" Rangga slightly distanced the device in hand when he heard his best friend nagging.

"Quickly explain what the voice note you sent earlier means!" tell Juan, he can't wait for an explanation from his best friend.

"Yes just like I said earlier that Tari will get married next week," replied Rangga without further ado. 

"Dari say it?" juan asked, he still hoped that the message that Rangga conveyed was not true.

"Not from Dance. But, there was a girl dressed in high school uniform who met me, she said that her sister Mentari will get married next week," explained Rangga. "By the way, whose girl is it? It's ugly, fierce again. Did he just flush me with water?" rangga asked, he recalled the girl in the high school uniform who had doused him.

"The girl is long-haired and has a rather instalmental nature?" ask Juan.

"It's not a bit, but it's an installment of him, even too installment," replied Rangga upset. "If the boy isn't a girl, I've taught him a lesson. How come a girl doesn't have manners like her. I'm sure, there will be no guy who wants to be the same model girl. Except for the brainless idiot" he subconsciously cursed the girl who had doused him.

"I pray that your prayer is in Ijabah and it turns out that the one who married his sister Tari is you" said Juan. 

"Nobody. I'm just gonna marry Livya."

Hearing the word married, Juan again remembered the original purpose he contacted his best friend.

"You haven't explained to me what her sister Tari told you? Tell me now!" get Juan serious.

Rangga said the same thing as he said in the voice note, he again said that Mentari will get married next week.

"Juan, now what are you going to do?" asked Rangga, he still hopes that his best friend's relationship with Mentari can be saved.

"Come on, no," replied Juan. 

Juan took his breath. He really regretted his attitude that was more prestige than chasing after his lover at that time.

"It's not too late if you want to fight back your love, there is still time before he really married someone else," said Rangga, he does not want his best friend to give up.

Juan felt that everything Rangga said was true. He can't just give up. At least, he had to fight for his love until the end.

"You're right, no. Must fight to get my love back."

Hearing Juan's reply, Rangga smiled. "Now what are you going to do?"

"Go back to Indonesia and pursue Mentari again" replied Juan steady.

"Me and Nando will definitely help you as much as we can" added Rangga.

"Thank you, Ngga. You and Nando are my best friends."

After ending his call with Rangga, Juan tried calling Mentari's number. But there was no answer from him.

"Tari, why didn't you answer my call?" mumbled Juan.

Juan put his cloth on the table. He sat back down and leaned back on the back of the chair.
