Mentari for Dawn

CHAPTER 55- The Painful Meeting

"What the hell is Ma?" Moza grumbled with annoyance, because he was sure that his mother was insinuating him with the problem he had told me yesterday.

"What the hell is this? How come you guys are flirting with each other like that?" Tristan looked at his wife and stepson in turn in confusion.

"There's nothing, Pa. If told, she was afraid Moza would be embarrassed again" Chirped Claudia who again threw a teasing smile at Moza.

"Pa, I'm going to the toilet first"

"Yes-yes dear" Tristan replied gently as she nodded.

Annoyed by her mother's ignorance, Moza decides to take a toilet without saying goodbye to Claudia.

"What the hell is Ma, with that kid?" After Moza left, Tristan again asked in confusion. Since he still did not understand in the slightest, what kind of matter the two women were talking about.

"Obsolute Pa, young man. It won't be far from the matter of romance" Claudia answered her husband's question with a ignorant smile.

"Oh" Tristan the mangosteen heard his wife's brief explanation. At least he's beginning to understand what's really going on.

While a few meters from the position of those who were chatting, there was Tari who had just entered the restaurant with Dawn, and was being led by the waiter who was in charge of taking them to the room that had been booked by Fajar.

"Dance" said Tristan softly with unblinking eyes. The sudden presence of his daughter in front of him made him dumbfounded, so he immediately stood up unconsciously.

Confused to see her husband's suddenly strange attitude, Claudia turned to the direction her husband looked at. He was surprised to see the presence of the princess continued at that place, until he also rose from his seat.

The dance that still follows the waiter is getting closer to the table of father and mother. Until he finally realized their presence, after the view they all met each other. Dance was a little surprised to see her papa.

They all looked at each other in silence. Tristan looked at Tari with a sad look. A flash of longing seemed in his eyes. Heart Dance again hurt to see the two people. The shadow as she was vilified and driven out viciously and violently, reappeared and danced in her memory.

"Let's Master, Madam" Waiter who did not understand anything that happened between his guests, opened his voice to see Dawn and Dance who suddenly stood sculpting.

Dance turned around and intended to get away from that place. His heart was not ready to meet and had to be one place with the family, who had incised deep wounds and disappointment in him.

"Where are you going?" Dawn asked after catching and blocking the arm of Tari who was about to leave.

"I want to go home" replied Tari Ketus.

"But we just got here"

"If you want to stay, go ahead. But I don't want to be in a place with people who've treated me like an animal!" Tari exclaimed furiously before she turned her body, and walked out of the restaurant with wide strides.

"But...." Dawn, unable to do anything to prevent Tari's departure, stared at Tristan and Claudia just before she also walked out of the restaurant to catch up with his wife.

Tristan who intends to catch up with Tari is about to step foot. But quickly Claudia had already restrained her arm.

"Papa must meet Ma Dance. Papa should talk to him. Papa doesn't want our relationship to continue like this"

"It's Pa, free. Papa didn't see, what was the attitude of Dance just now? Seeing Papa's face he won't. If you two see each other, Mama is sure that there will be a commotion again. Already, let Dance calm down first with her husband. Let's sit down again"

Claudia said with clever wisdom. Though she felt anxious to see her husband who was starting to be weak and guilty for his attitude towards Dance.

Tristan looked towards where Tari was before. The boy is no longer visible. Tristan sadly sat down again according to the words of his wife. Claudia sighed in relief, having managed to prevent her husband from meeting her son.

If Tristan manages to meet Tari then they speak carefully from the heart of kehati, he is worried that their relationship will again melt and improve. It could backfire on him and Moza, who have framed and slandered Tari from the start.

Meanwhile, Dance and Dawn have arrived outside the restaurant. Dawn is still trying to catch up to Dance who walks with wide steps so emotional. He finally grabbed his wife's arm. So inevitably the woman stopped her steps and turned to look at her husband.

"wait around. Dance, why are you? All of a sudden it's a mess like this?"

"You want to know what the answer is? If I knew they were here too, I would never want to come to this place, and meet them!" Excited Dance with fury while pointing inward.

"I know you have a problem with your family, but when do you want to stay like this? Holding grudges and anger. After all, they are your parents. Don't you want to reconcile and mend your relationship with them?" Dawn tried to advise with her soft and wise voice.

"You don't know anything about me and my family! So stop being so ignorant! Just like you don't like me interfering in your affairs with those women!"

Fajar was silent to the words of his wife who was emotional. His heart feels slapped. Somehow he felt hurt, when his own wife did not want to share the problem with him. He thought their relationship was beginning to progress.

Is this really his fault too, who still can't share the story with the woman? Even he himself did not accept, the woman interfered in her past troubles.

Dawn took a deep breath and said softly. "All right, we're going home now"

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Fajar drove his car for about 25 minutes, until finally he stopped at the edge of a quiet beach. Dari looks at the waves that are chasing each other in the ocean off there through the glass of the car.

"You.... Why bring me here? Why don't we go home?" Dari looked at Dawn and asked in confusion.

"Come down" Instead of answering his question, Dawn opened the car door instead. Seeing her husband get out of the car, Dari followed her by coming out as well.

"Why did you bring me here? I told you, I want to go home"

"You want to go home in this emotional state? How will people respond at home? Maybe they'll all assume we've had a fight, and I've hurt you"

Dari was silent and pensive for a moment to hear her husband's explanation, before she again asked. "What do we want to do here?"

"Try to pay attention. This place is very comfortable, peaceful and quiet. You can express all your feelings of anger and emotions here. I guarantee, after that your feelings will definitely be a little relieved and improved"
