Mentari for Dawn

CHAPTER 32 - The Dance of Escape

"What's? You serious? Are they both getting married?" Gerald's voice sounded surprised.

"They? You know that guy? So is this really all part of your plan?"

"Yes or not, you shouldn't interfere. This has nothing to do with you anyway. What matters is that your position is safe. So I'm asking you to be quiet, and never discuss this issue again, if you don't want to be in big trouble. You don't want us both to go to jail, because you're planning a rape? Okay, you understand what I mean? See you" replied Gerald casually.

"Gerald but....." Moza who was still not satisfied with the answer given Gerald could not do anything else, because the man had already turned off his phone.

"No Ran! I will never marry that bastard! Why don't you understand?! Never mind getting married and making him my husband, just seeing his face has made my heart ache!

Even though I couldn't see his face that night, he did it! He who forcibly took my virginity! He who has made this fetus present in my stomach!! How could I possibly live with her for the rest of my life?!!"

Excited Dance who insisted on refusing marriage to the jerk who had desecrated her. His face was wet with tears and sweat on his face.

"I know he's guilty. And if I were in your position, I wouldn't be able to forgive him so easily either. But not every human being deserves to be sorry. God is forgiving, so why not us? At least he's shown good faith, to come to you after what he's done.

He is also willing to put up a body to defend you from the rampage of the citizens. He is also willing to take responsibility for his actions. Think about Tar's offer. Think with a clear and cold head. Don't use emotions that will only make you regret. I think this is the best solution for the baby in your womb.

Than you had to drop it. Are you capable of doing so, in your own flesh and blood? Are you willing to take sins for the rest of your life? I know you're not that cruel Tar. I know your heart is good. Don't hurt your own child. To hurt animals alone you won't have the heart"

Ranty tried to persuade Tari with a soft voice as possible. The problem of increasingly runy pregnancy Dance makes him pity and not bear, seeing his best friend must bear all this alone. Humiliated and looked upon cheaply by everyone.

At least with the marriage, the insults and blasphemies received by Dance can be slightly reduced.

"Please leave me alone Ran. Please give me some time to think" Pinta Tari who was still standing on her back to Ranty. He tried to hold back so that his cries would not break again. Even though he could not hold back the tears that kept falling from his two eyes.

Ranty smiled with relief, because finally Tari wanted to consider her advice. "All right, I'm going out. I hope you can think clearly, and make the best decision for your baby. Have a good rest"

Ranty finally came out of the room. Letting Tari rest so that she can reflect and think calmly.

"Dance. We have breakfast first yuk. From last night, you haven't eaten. Kasian. He needs nutrition for his growth. Tar, you heard me, right?" Ranty knocks on the door of the room while calling out to Dance.

From yesterday the girl did not leave the room. He hasn't even eaten anything until now. Of course it makes Ranty can not calm down. Many times Ranty called and knocked on the door. But he never heard a voice from inside.

Is Tari asleep? But there is no way his sleep can be as dark as that, so he can not hear it serfrom earlier. Is it possible that he was too exhausted from yesterday's incident?

"Dance. Dance, where are you?" He scanned each side of that cramped simple room. Various negative thoughts began to stop and make him restless.

But he still tried to calm down, and dismissed all the bad thoughts that raged on his mind. It's possible that Tari was in the bathroom.

He went to the bathroom and checked inside. But still he could not find Dance. His anxious feelings grew.

"Dance! Dance!" He ran out to find his best friend around the boarding house. He wondered at everyone who passed by in front of him.

But none of them claimed to have seen the girl. He also tried to contact Tari's cell phone. However, his phone is also inactive.

"Tari, where are you anyway? Why are you doing this?" Ranty monologues with a feeling of dread. He was confused where else to look for Dance. He tried to comfort himself, so that he could think calmly in order to find a solution.

Suddenly he remembered something. Because he never managed to find Tari, and also could not possibly look for him alone, he finally ran back into his boarding house. He picked up the business card that the man had given him yesterday, and started calling the number.

"Hallo good morning. Sorry who is this? Can I help you?" The voice of dawn is across there.

"Good morning. I'm sorry was this true with doctor Fajr Lazuardi?" Ranty asked ascertained doubtfully, and a somewhat trembling tone of voice.

"It's true of me. But who are these with?"

"Mmmm.... I am Ranty Dok, a friend of Mentari who met you yesterday. You also gave me a business card. You still remind me?"

"Oh yeah-yes I remember. What did you contact me? Did Miss Mentari make a decision?" Dawn asked with a deep feeling.

Even though he himself offered the marriage, because he wanted to be the man in charge. And he was also confident in his decision. But his heart was still not ready to marry the woman. Because until now, his heart is still attached to Zahra.

"Sorry Doc before, but isn't that why I called you?"

"Then?"

"So, Tari ran away from the boarding house"

"What?! Fleeing?! How can? Escape where?" Cecar Dawn in surprise.

"I don't know Doc either. He was there last night. But this morning he suddenly disappeared. I've been looking for him around here. I have also asked people, but no one has seen or known his whereabouts. I contacted him too. But the phone is inactive.

I was very worried about the situation of Dok Dance. Does the doctor know if she is pregnant? I was afraid something would happen to him. Especially now that he is stressed and upset. I'm afraid that he's going to make a desperate move out there" Ranty chatted at length. Dawn could feel a tinge of worry in each of the girl's words.
