Love for the Mentari

Riri's Identity

Sugi shuffled to get something from the trunk in the back. His hand pulled a white paper bag with gold Sweets writing in front of him.

"It must not have been dinner" Sugi said as he opened the paper bag. He took out a box of cookies and opened them. He put the cookies in front of me.

With a bad feeling I want to reject it "Mmm later sir, I'm not hungry yet. Thanks for your attention, I am not good. It's been troublesome, Mr. Sugi like this"

"I don't feel bothered" Sugi replied flatly. His hand quickly pulled off my mask strap, before I could hold it. Of course I was surprised by this action.

"It's safe, this car has a little dust" he said without seeing me, his hand took one cookie and pointed it at my lips.

I bowed "Sir, this... " My words came to a halt as I caught a glimpse of her face re-emerging the same frown as before. Doubtfully opening my mouth, he fed the cookies slowly. I chewed it with mixed feelings. I saw him also enjoy cookies that taste quite good this. He bribed me several times, until I raised my left hand while saying "enough sir, thank you"

He put the cookies in a paper bag and put them back in the trunk. I'm curious to finally open my mouth "Sir, I'm not the type of person who likes to mince words, so I just want to know why Mr. Sugi is considerate and kind to me?" I asked "i wish he would say because I was a valuable staffer for his restaurant. Hopefully it's not because he wants me to do anything beyond what I can" I stopped my bad thoughts about him.

"Why's Riri saying?" Suggi asked back

"Why ask again, right so I have to guess - guess myself?" I rolled my eyeballs

"Hmm because I've helped Sugi sir work at Restaurant?" Answer me accordingly

Sugi was silent and did not respond back to my answer.

"Would Riri's mom come home now, I've called an online taxi. The taxi will arrive soon. The bike is staying, later let Mr. Doni take care"

"Hey, my question hasn't been answered?!" I bathed myself

"Well sir" I said resigned without asking back about it

A white car approached and stopped in front of us, Sugi got out of his car and opened the car door for me.

I rushed down, my left hand holding the ice bag that was above my right hand. "I'm going home sir, thanks again" I said. He just nodded.

The online taxi that will take Riri home has just passed when Mr. Doni has returned.

"Sir, I just got a call from our informant. He said there was a missing woman on the search. Its characteristics are very similar to Riri's mom. I'm sending you a picture now"

Sugi noticed the photo sent by Mr. Doni. This woman's long straight hair was pitch black. His face was indeed very similar to that of Miss Riri, only the look on his face was very young. It's likely that this photo was taken while she was in school or had just finished high school"

"This woman is named Mentari Larasati Wirama" continued pak Doni again

Sugi turned to look at Mr. Doni with a surprised face "Wirama Family" he said slowly.

"Pak Subrata has been granted Mentari's guardianship rights since the accident. The last news before Mentari fled, he had wanted to be betrothed to a wealthy widower his uncle's business friend"

Sugi looked silent and said "I'm sure the one looking is his uncle's man. And the reason is definitely a very important thing regarding the company"

Mr. Doni nodded "likely so sir"

"There are other relatives? "

"He had an older brother named Damar, but according to the news I received Damar was declared dead a year after his parents had an accident. Damar fell and disappeared in a steep ravine during mountain climbing activities with Mapala".

Sugi's face turned cold, his jaw hardened "we to the restaurant briefly" Sahut Sugi preceded pak Doni. Mr. Doni knows very well the face he just showed this "He is worried and his mood is not good" Mr. Doni muttered in his heart while following Sugi to Restaurant.

Riri had arrived at his boarding room, after cleaning himself he applied pain relief ointment that he bought on the way home with some elastic bandages. His phone vibrated, Riri saw the notification on his phone. He saw the name of Mr. Sugi sending a message to him, his face was a little surprised because usually Mr. Sugi sent a message through a cellphone he gave.

"Bu Riri Has arrived?"

No time to answer it, there is a phone incoming from Mr. Doni to the other phone.

"Hello good night sir" I answered the phone from him

"Good night, Miss Riri, I'm on the way to bring medicine and bandages, I'll call you when I get there. I'm afraid to disturb the other residents because it's already night"

"No need sir, thank you. The medicine is stored first. I bought medicine and bandages before I got to the hostel. It's also late, Mr. Doni should also go home and rest" I replied quickly

"Oh so, good ma'am then. Have a good rest, Miss Riri, quickly recover" he said again and then closed the phone connection.

Riri then answered a message from Sugi

"Already sir, just now. Mr. Doni called me earlier he said he wanted to bring medicine here. But I've bought ointments and bandages sir. Don't worry I'm fine. Thanks for the attention sir, I will be back after my hand is in better condition ☺. Good night and good rest sir"

Sugi could only look at the answers he received on his phone. There was a feeling of kasian and worry lingering in his heart at this moment.

Riri who was lying in her room was also looking at the message she had just sent. "for a long time no one cared even to the point of asking me how I am today. Strangely I feel this is only natural, but usually I never communicate with other people outside of work. It's been Sugi twice and Mr. Doni has helped me. I can only hope they're really good people"

While thinking about the incident, accidentally his eyes were fixed on the keychain initials A hanging in the back pocket of his backpack. This keychain he deliberately took everywhere to always remember with Andi. But, it's been a long time since these keychains have felt like any other ordinary thing.

Riri remembered Andi. Andi whom he used to call girlfriend and favorite. I don't know what he deserves right now. "Andi, how are you?. Didn't it occur to you to look for my current existence?. Or maybe you've forgotten me and our promise?!" her tears began to melt.

Riri hurriedly woke up from her sleep and took the teddy bear on the table. He hugged the doll tightly to ward off his feelings of sadness.
