Love for the Mentari

Pickup

The atmosphere of the bar that was visited by Hadi and Silvi that night seemed quiet. There were only two or three people chatting around them.

"I'm going to prank that unlucky woman*n at Sam's father's show" Silvi smiled a cynical smile. His hands were twirling the liquor glass that was on the table

Hadi's face hardened hearing that

Silvi seemed to notice Silvi's change in face

"I'm sorry if I sound rude. But I can't take it anymore. You know, no significant progress has happened while I'm here. It frustrates me. Even Bu Rita who said she did not agree was like not to bother with their relationship"

"Are you sure Tari was invited to the event?"

"Surely, he must have come" Silvi said as she downed the liquor in his hand

Hadi smoked his cigarette strongly, he exhaled it back while frowning. Cigarette smoke filled the ceiling above them

"Be careful, I'm sure there's at least one bodyguard who will always be with him"

"Well, you're right, I just remembered that as long as I was here, I had a really hard time finding people who wanted to launch my plans. Different from a few months ago. It was also my fault for attacking him blatantly"

"What have you done to Dance?!!" Hadi stared intently at Silvi, there was a terrible glint of emotion in his eyes

Silvi gulped her saliva in surprise at Hadi "heh's reaction...Hahahaha didn't go according to my plan anyway, failing. You see for yourself that your favorite woman is still fine"

"I told you not to hurt him. I have the right to determine the punishment for him"

"Ok... I-i understand. I just want to keep him away from the Wijaya family. At least Dad and Mom Sam turned to hate him"

"Do what you think can be done safely. I've been searching for Dance for two weeks. Do you know where he's going?"

Silvi shook her head "I don't know. But what I heard from Sam's conversation with his mother, he later also came home late at night because of work. Rita's mother had to remind her of her health often. Are they probably remotely related?"

"Maybe, then it means that Dance is out of town or abroad for some business"

They both remained silent for a moment

"Ok, I'll help you figure this out tomorrow"

Hadi glanced at Silvi "thank you Silvi"

Silvi nodded

The night was getting late but there was no sign of the two ending the meeting

Two hours passed, Silvi seemed to be nagging herself. His head that now felt heavy seemed to fall on the table. I don't know how many glasses of liquor he has drunk since.

Not much different with Hadi, but he can still control himself.

"Let me take you home. We've been here too long" Hadi lifted Silvi's body and helped her walk out of that bar.

"..I'm less what?!!!...Say?!!! I lack what?!...this is unfair, why should a beautiful and honorable woman like myself begging for love from you Sam!!!... Hhhh" Silvi suddenly cried and hugged her tightly when they were already in the car .

Hadi was only speechless trying to maintain his own consciousness. He lets himself be hugged by Silvi while imagining Tari doing it. He is also immersed in his own memories.

Inside his quiet room, Sugi's breathing sounds regular. After the video call he made with Riri, he fell asleep more easily compared to the previous days. His phone seemed to vibrate on the nightstand, Mr. Doni's name was seen on the phone screen, he just sent a message for him.

______________________________________________

This afternoon Riri is preparing to go to Sugi's father's birthday. Several times he was seen pecking himself in front of the mirror. She was very lucky to have taken a beginner make up class during the college era. So if there is an event like this he does not need to bother coming to the salon. The makeup she wore was always thin, only this time she put a red lipstick on her lips. It made her face look brighter and fresher.

His phone reads, apparently Mr. Doni's name sends a message to him.

"I'm ready in front of Mom"

Riri immediately replied "Wait a minute sir"

Riri then put her phone in a small brown clutch-shaped handbag that matched the high heels she was wearing. With a quick step he went down the stairs and headed to the Villa lobby.

He also intended to approach the car to ask the purpose of his arrival. As he recalled from a long time ago there had never been a car as good as this to stop by here, even directly waiting in front of the stairs. Like picking up someone important.

He had not been able to knock on the glass of the car next to the driver, the car glass was opened slowly

"Good day" said Doni, smiling

"Sir, I'm sorry you wanted to see who?" Mr. Kanis said, he looked at Mr. Doni's face carefully

"I'm in charge of picking up Miss Riri"

"Oh I understand, he already told me he was going to leave this afternoon"

Mr. Doni nodded

"Do I need to tell Miss Riri about the arrival of the father?"

"No, sir, thank you. I just told him"

"Ok good sir, please wait then"

"Good sir"

Mr. Kanis then went away from the car

Riri just got to the lobby followed by Mr. Yuda from behind.

"Bu Riri" said Pak Kanis half ran over to him

"Sir Kanis, I go first huh. As I informed you earlier, I might be back as soon as tomorrow afternoon. If there's anything can contact me directly"

"Good Ma'am" Pak Kanis smiled, his face seemed a little blushed because this was the first time he saw Riri wearing clothes like this.

"Ok sir, until tomorrow"

"Dad Ma'am" he replied as he looked at Riri's back away from him

All the staff who were there looked dumbfounded to see Riri. This was the second time they had met at close range and they never expected that the person who interviewed them a while ago could be this beautiful when dressing up.

Mr. Doni who saw the arrival of Riri directly down from the car and waited for him in front of the door.

"Sir Doni....!!!" Strangled Riri with a stifled voice while smiling cheerfully. It was like meeting a long separated relative.

"Please Ma'am" he opened the passenger door for Riri

"Thank you sir" replied Riri then got into the car with an elegant gesture.

"Yud, you stay here" whispered Mr. Doni to Mr. Yuda

"All right sir" replied Mr. Yuda

Mr. Doni then rushed back to the back of the steering wheel.

The car drove slowly away from the place. The face of Mr. Kanis and some staff seem to still notice the car that is away.

"Pak Kanis" call one of the staff to him.

Pak Kanis was aghast because his mind was still on Riri.

"....eh Iyah why?"

"We continue with the training"

"Oh yes Iyah, we continue now" replied Pak Kanis gelagapan.

All the staff who were there could only smile amusedly at the confused Pak Kanis.
