Love for the Mentari

Frustratingly

This morning Sugi was sipping his coffee quietly. His tiredness last night had not completely disappeared. Yesterday he had to hold a meeting until late at night. His sleep last night wasn't really good either. "If Riri were here with me now, it might feel different" she said.

He intended to contact Riri as usual but he had not had time to press the number, the phone in his hand rang. He saw his father's name make a call.

"Well, what's calling me this early in the morning?"

"Sam..... Have you read the news today?" asked his father doubtfully

"What news?" answer it casually

"Try to open one of the famous online news media here"

Sugi turned his eyes to Mr. Doni who had been watching him.

"Please notebook sir" point Sugi towards the notebook in front of Pak Doni

Mr. Doni rushed to hand it to Sugi

"Awhile, let me see first" he said while typing one of the online news sites on his notebook browser.

His eyes immediately caught the news his father meant. His forehead looked wrinkled with the aura of a face that turned dark. He then typed keywords with similar titles on search sites, seen by him almost all online media reported the same thing about him.

Mr. Doni who had felt something was wrong to read the news that was being opened by Sugi. His face was so shocked to read the news

"Ck! This is not all true, yeah"

"Dad is sure too. But this is in Sam's national news. It's a danger to our corporate image"

"I'll try to contact Mita"

"Let me know that if you reach him, solve your problems first. Whatever it is you're not gonna interfere, Sam. But for sure we need to do a DNA test for the boy. Tomorrow morning there will be a press conference at the office"

"I see, do I have to go home as soon as possible?"

"Finish your schedule quickly, we can't just cancel all the appointments that have been made in advance, right?"

"Dad I understand"

"Yes, you take it easy, Sam. As long as we do not err all problems will surely find their own bright spot. I'm sure it's someone who wants to take down our family"

"I'll also try to figure out who's behind it"

"Ok, stay focused Sam, I'll hang up"

"Well yeah"

Sugi put his phone on the table, the tip of his index finger tapped on the table. He seems to think.

"Sir, do I have to contact Riri to notify you of this matter now? Frankly I don't know how to explain this to her" he said worriedly

"I even feel that Ms. Riri already knows sir. But reluctant to contact the father because he knows the situation is chaotic, plus our busy schedule. Miss Riri must be holding back from contacting us right now"

"I feel guilty for never telling her about Mita. I'm also afraid that he thinks this news story is true and thinks that I'm a jerk and is lying to him" he said

"What do I say, sir?" He scratched his forehead

"Just call first sir, who knows Miss Riri is also waiting to be contacted"

Sugi sighed, then nodded approving of his suggestion

Right now Riri was sitting hugging her knees in front of the pool. He had noticed ripples of water above the surface of the swimming pool in front of him due to the wind blowing quite fast tonight. Several times he seemed to sigh, his feelings were agitated. Just this time he felt that loneliness again. Gia who promised to come and stay here also has not seen the trunk of his nose.

The phone he left on the living room table rang. Riri is seen running small towards the living room and reaching for her phone

"Hi" he said clumsily, as he walked towards the back of the house and sat back where he was

"Honey, mmm am sorry" he said agitated

"Sorry for what?" Riri replied as one hand pressed down on her own thigh to calm her chaotic feelings

"I'm sure you've read the news"

"Daddy already"

"Would you like to hear an original answer or one that's good to hear?"

"Tell me whatever you want to say"

"Do I have to trust you anyway?, or do I just wait until this news is clear?"

"I should have told you about Mita from the beginning. He's my past Riri"

"I don't mind your past, as I said back then. But what about the boy?"

"We haven't gotten that far Riri. For God's sake" Sugi's voice sounded weak

"I even read a new article about this, she said the night before her wedding you came to the woman drunk. You begged her not to marry anyone else. You even stayed there. Is that true?"

Sugi was silent for quite a while, then replied "right, I came to him. I admit that I was really scared of losing her. I was drunk and lost consciousness there. But as I remember, nothing happened after that"

"Relatedly? in a drunken state you may not be aware of what you did that night. I don't know..." Riri closed her eyes, her head was dizzy

Sugi was stunned he took pains to recall the events of that night. As he remembered, nothing had happened and the next day he woke up with no one in the apartment.

"When I get back, I'll do a DNA test for Riri. I'm sure this report is not true"

Riri fell silent not knowing what to say to her

"Darling..."

"mmm" Riri replied reluctantly, her eyes starting to glaze over. There was an overwhelming feeling of fear of loss sneaking in his heart.

"Please trust me for once. I never lied to you. Did I ever let you down while we were together? Even before we got this close, did I ever make you cry?" Sugi's voice sounded frustrated

Riri took her phone away and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. When he felt calmer he brought his phone back to his ear

"Dear, say something... Don't be like this"

"Frankly I don't know what to say to you right now"

"You heard, honey, I'm not going to lose you. Not now or later. Whatever happens, you are mine. Forever time!. I'll solve this problem well, because I'm sure I'm right"

"I want to meet first, you take a break. Don't think of anything. I love you" he hung up on her without waiting for Riri to answer

Riri put down her phone with a hollow feeling. The woman's face returned to her mind. From the photos circulating, the woman's face is very beautiful, with a proportional height. "It is only fitting that Sugi had brought his knees to her" he muttered to himself

They believe they have a happy relationship. He could even imagine how special Sugi treated the woman. There was anger and disappointment raging in his mind at this moment. It's really like he's spilling this anger on something. "arghhhh!!!" he screams in frustration

Gia who had just arrived in front of the house heard Riri's annoyed scream inside.

"Relie!" Call Gia in a hurry to get close to her

Riri turned to her "Why just came, busy today?"

"Banget!! You're okay, right?"

He shook his head "punches people taste"

"Duh... We go to the gym. Let your emotions out"

"Anybody still open at this hour?"

"Some, got my uncle. There are even samsakya loh hehehe" he said cengesan "well I call first"

Gia seems to talk to someone a while later back at Riri

"Ayookk is leaving now..."

"I haven't changed my clothes yet.."

"No need, still cute" he glanced at Riri's clothes who only wore a t-shirt and super short pants.

Gia pulled her hand to get into the car "we're going now!!!" He said while closing the car door.

The car moved away from Riri's house.
