Love for the Mentari

I miss you, Sam

"Honey, tomorrow I leave early in the morning using a private jet" Sugi said when we arrived home

"Ok, I need to help you pack?" ask me when I open the car door and get ready to go down. The sky was already a bit dark indicating the night was coming soon

"No need, it seems to have been taken care of Mr. Doni" replied Sugi while coming down

"Well, don't you really want to stay tonight?"

"Well, how?" He glanced at me with a smile dikulum "usually I asked to stay overnight, never offered like this hehehehe. Is it because we're going to be separated for a while?" Sugi said, his steps stopped. He put both his hands in his pants pocket

My steps came to a halt and turned towards him "maybe"

"Ok, I'll keep you here until you fall asleep"

"You'd better go home, baby, I'm afraid you're exhausted. Tomorrow your schedule will be tight"

"Is it really okay?"

"True, I'll be fine. But I will definitely miss you half-dead" I hugged her tightly

Sugi replied to my hug just as tightly "I am also dear, well don't worry me" he several times peeked at my forehead and lips

"Daddy take it easy" I said as I took off my embrace

"I came home baby" he once again stroked my head

I nodded "take care dear"

"U too, I'll tell you tomorrow when I get there"

"Dad" I said as I looked at him

I saw Sugi's back go away then he got in the car and passed from this house

This time there was a hint of emptiness in Riri's heart when parting with Sugi.

"Sister.... Brother Damar" called me to Damar when I entered the house.

There was no reply from Damar, I saw his room light on, a sign that he was inside

"Tokay! Geck! Geck!" I knocked on his room door

"Sister!!" Call me again

"Dad" he said, the door opened I saw him standing with a big smile on the doorway

"Aren't you packing?"

"Already, aided by Gia" he smiled wider when he mentioned Gia's name

"Relene!!" Gia's faint voice called out to me from behind Damar

"Loh there's Gia here..."

"Iya hehehehe" Gia chuckled, this time her head poking out from behind Damar's body

"Oh so apparently hehehehe" I closed my mouth as I glanced at Gia who was looking at me timidly "yes already I want to go up and take a bath, it feels so hot"

"Have you eaten?" Ask Damar

"Just now, have you?" I said as I turned around and went up to the second floor

"We're just going out to dinner"

"Ok you guys have fun!!!" I screamed while still climbing the stairs

"Yes!!" say Damar behind me

Meanwhile, a tall woman with a beautiful face and a boy about 5 years old just came out of the airport looking for a taxi. The woman's face looks agitated staring at the cellphone screen in her hand.

A taxi finally stopped in front of them. The taxi driver was seen coming out to help them lift the suitcase into the trunk. The woman then entered the taxi with the boys

"Good ma'am" the taxi driver followed his orders and started driving. His eyes occasionally steal glances through the upper rearview because they feel amazed by the beauty of this passenger

For ten years he never came home especially after he finally married a man he knew abroad when he became a stewardess of one airline that is quite famous. This time he decided to go home to try to correct a mistake he made a few years ago.

He had long since rented a small house that he found on an internet search. His parents' own house has been sold to pay off debts inherited from him since they died. He has no siblings, his father's brother has long since broken their brotherhood rope because of family conflicts so that now he has no relatives to visit.

"Ck" he clucked in disappointment, while continuing to try to dial the number that had always been on his phone seven years ago. The phone number he tried to call seemed to be no longer active.

He dialed another cell phone number and was seen waiting for his phone call to be picked up across the street

"Good afternoon Eko, it's Mita" he said with a faint smile on his lips

"..."

"Dad, I just got nyampe. Can we meet today?"

"..."

"May, tomorrow at ten. Share the location later"

"..."

"Ok, Iyah.thank you Eko"

He closed the conversation and wrote something down on a small piece of paper. He gave it to the taxi driver when the car stopped temporarily due to a red light.

"Sir, this is his home address"

"Ok ma'am, oh I know this address" he said as he read the address in the paper.

Mita seemed to close her eyes while stroking the head of her son who was sleeping soundly on his lap.

She recalls six years ago the day before her wedding. Sammy suddenly came to his residence. Their relationship ended three months ago.

"Why can I come in and talk to you for a minute?" he asked with a sad face, the pungent smell of alcohol pierced into his nose.

I was standing in the doorway of my apartment staring at him sadly "You're drunk Sam, you shouldn't have come here again"

His hand pulled my body out of my apartment "But I still love you, why would you leave me like this?... And even more crazy you will marry Erik. She's my best friend Mita"

I let go of his hand "Our relationship has ended Sam, you can't give clarity to our relationship. I can't wait for you anymore"

Sammy staggered and held the wall behind him "I... I still need Mita's time. There are still many things I want to pursue. I'm not ready to commit"

"That's the difference between you and Erik. Financially he's also more established Sam"

Sammy covered his face with both palms of his "Mita, are you sure he'll make you happy? Erik's a close friend of mine, I know for sure what he's doing to some women"

"I'm sure Sam, he's a good man. I don't care about his past. The important thing is that now he loves me sincerely and we are both ready to commit"

"Go home Sam, it's late at night. We have chosen our own path. Please let me be happy with my current choice"

Sammy crouched down with a face of despair. Suddenly he closed his eyes and fell in front of me. My feelings became full of seeing him like this. I painstakingly dragged her into my apartment and let her rest on the living room couch"

Mita frowned, recalling their relationship in the past

"I knew you loved me so much back then. Our relationship is actually as good as people dating. Do you remember Sam? stepping on one year of our closeness you are even more busy with your lectures and your new friend named Rio so often ignore me"

"Our quarrel began when you would rather help Rio expand his business than meet me. The times we meet are getting rarer. At that time I realized I was selfish, I wanted to have you completely"

"At the end of our relationship every time we meet is only colored with insignificant fights. And now I regret it. Very sorry Sam" Mita murmured in her heart, her tears fell on her hair

"I should have listened to what you said about Erik, who often changes women. It turned out that it continued after we got married. Not to mention his lavish lifestyle made our financial situation go awry. I regret choosing Sam" Mita sobbed in silence, she covered her mouth with her hands so that her crying voice could not be heard by anyone else

"I survived a few years for my son, but in the end I gave up and decided to leave Erik's life. If only I had supported all your activities and waited patiently for you, we might still be together. It's my fault Sam" her tears flowed profusely

"May you still remember me, I want to come back to you. I miss our closeness the way we used to, Sam. Only you understand me the most and love me most sincerely" his eyes looked at the street that was beginning to be filled with vehicles.

Mita wiped away the remains of her tears when the taxi that took her arrived at the house she was heading to.
