Juan And Mentari

J&M Section 40

The smell of carbolic and medicinal substances invokes the sense of smell of the Mentari. In his semi-conscious state, Mentari heard the sobbing of a woman he had long missed. Her grip felt so warm. Slowly the Mentari began to move his fingers and opened his eyes.

"Alhamdulillah, Son. You're sober." The woman smiled happily at the awakened Mentari.

"Mothers... Mothers... Dance misses Mother," said Mentari with tears.

"Mom misses you too, son."

Yes, the woman waiting for Mentari is Ratih, his mother.

"I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry that because I betrothed you to Iwan you have to go through all this. Sorry mom!" Ratih apologized to his eldest daughter while crying. "If I knew your life would be like this, I'd never match you. I'm sorry, son. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, Mom. There's nothing wrong here. All this happened because of destiny, it was the decree of the Almighty. He chose me to do it because he believed I was capable. So, don't blame yourself. I love Mom very much." Mentari hugged her mother.

Ratih returned his daughter's embrace of tight defeat while rubbing her daughter's long hair. "Mother loves you so much too, Dance."

The two women hugged each other while crying. The star that happened to be standing at the door cried.

"Darling, why don't you come in?" asked Rangga who came along with Nando and Juan.

"Sister Juan, I know Brother wants to see the state of Dance immediately. But, please give Kak Tari five more minutes!" star Pinta to Juan.

"Why?" juan asked as he looked at the Mentari's sister. However, when he heard the crying sounds of the two women inside the nursery, Juan finally understood.

"Then let's just wait there!" Juan pointed at the stainles bench that was not far from them standing.

Stars nodded. They all headed to the bench immediately.

"Since I knew Kak Tari was sold by that bastard man, not a single night did I pass by quietly. He always thought about his brother. Mother.continues to blame herself. Sometimes I regret why I did not prevent Kak Tari from getting married when I clearly knew that Kak Tari's love was only for Sis. If I had prevented her from getting married and telling the truth to mother, mother would definitely not have asked Kak Tari to get married. And in the end it's all my fault" said the star. Just like his mother, the days of the Star were also passed with feelings of guilt.

"Star." Juan touched the back of his best friend's wife's hand.

"Hey, Juan. Would I break your hand to touch my wife's?" Rangga.

"Ck. Basic jealousy." Ladybug Juan.

Rangga put his best friend's hand out of the Star's.

"It has. If you want to say something to the stars, just say it! Don't touch the hands of everyone!"

"Yes-yes." Juan cut both his eyes.

"Star. You and your mother were not wrong, I was wrong. Dance decided to accept the match because of me, because of my stupid behavior. So, if anyone is to blame, it's me" Juan said.

"He's right. Though many times me and Nando always forbid him to make a bet against it, but he still maksa. Aye, Ndo?" Rangga deliberately added.

"Isa. Basic friends no ahlak, notya nenangin even more make me feel guilty." Juan pretends to be angry and is called to laughter by Nando and Rangga.

"It looks exciting."

"Dance."

"Sister Dance."

Call Juan and the Star together.

"I was bored inside, so I asked my mother to let me out of my ward" replied Mentari.

"How's Brother doing? My brother is really healthy, right? You know, when I found out you scratched your own wrist, I was so scared. I'm afraid I'll have to lose my brother again" said Bintang.

Mentari took her sister into a hug. "Sister isn't going anywhere anymore. My sister will accompany me at home.

"I'm glad to see you with my sister." Stars crying.

"Star. Brother is fine and Brother is not going anywhere anymore. Brother will be with you." Mentari rubbed his sister's back.

"Tari, I'm so happy to see you again" Juan said, looking deeply into Mentari's eyes.

"I'm also happy to see you again. Thank you for helping me" said Mentari. "Ohya, what about Susan? Do you know how he is?"

"Susan and the women employed by the bastard have been returned to their hometown."

"Thank God, I'm glad to hear it" Mentari replied with a smile that continued to linger.

"Frengky and his men managed to escape. But now he has been arrested by the authorities including... Ivan." When Iwan said, Juan was a little careful.

"They deserve to be in jail. I hope they get a tough punishment."

"definitely. I will have them languish there for a very long time" Juan promised.

Mentari.

"Dance.there's something I want to tell you."

"Tell me!"

Suddenly Juan crouched down in front of Mentari and opened the box containing the ring.

"I don't want to lose you anymore, Tari. So, will you marry me!" pinta Juan with a tip.

"Juan, I'm a dirty woman. I don't deserve you."

"No, Dance. For me you are still the same Mentari as before. A sun that will forever be my light. For years, living without you. I lost my direction and purpose. So, come back to me, Dance and marry me!" pinta Juan again.

"Are you sure you want to stay with me? You know for yourself that I.... "

"I still love you" replied Juan firmly.

The sun looked at her mother and sister in turn. The two women nodded.

"Yes, I want to!" reply Mentari. Juan also pinned the ring sweet finger Mentari.

..."No matter how far apart you are, if you are meant to be together then you will definitely be reunited. Believe that true love exists and you will definitely get it."...
