Mentari for Dawn

CHAPTER 6 - Cunning Strategies

Dance up and walk while saying with a soft and bright gaze.

"Yes Ran, I'm a fool. I could not tell which friend and which enemy was secretly stabbing me in the back. And because of my stupidity, now I have to lose everything. Though the house holds a lot of memories between me and my late mother since I was a child. But now.... The two cunning women managed to get me kicked from there" Her tears came back out unchecked.

Ranty got up from the sofa and approached Dari with sympathy. He held onto his best friend's shoulder gently. Trying to encourage him.

"I know it's hard, but you have to believe that this is all a test for you. And I know you're strong and able to get through all this. As strong as the sun that shines on the earth and is able to create heat. Don't lose to your name. Okay?"

Dance smiled wryly looking at Ranty. The words of spirit that the girl threw out made her feelings a little calmer. He held onto Ranty's hand which was on his shoulder gently. "Yes, thank you Ran, for your support. For now, you're the only one I can hope for"

"Then what are your plans going forward?"

"If you don't mind, for a while yes... I hitchhiked here? I promise I won't trouble you. I'll help you pay for the costs. And so is the cost of our daily meals. Because I don't know where else to go"

Dance looked at Ranty expectantly. Honestly she felt bad about having to burden the girl because of her problem. But he really didn't know who else to ask.

"I don't mind if you stay here. I am glad that there is a friend. Sorry, but I can't help much. Because you know, my economic condition? I'm just a regional child studying in this city" Ranty said, feeling guilty and unwell.

"You don't have to apologize, because I understand you so well. With you letting me stay here, it's been a big help and makes me thank you"

"But Tar, you said you were going to help pay the costs. Do you have money? Have you not been cast out by your Father? It is not impossible if... All your facilities were also shredded?" Terka Ranty hesitated.

"Yes, you're right too. Then how should I?" Dance is confused. Then he began to think for a while, until an idea came to his head. "Ran, if I may, can I just ask you for your help one more time?" Dance looked back at Ranty expectantly.

"You need help especially? Justsaytheword. As long as I can, I will definitely try to help as I can" Ranty replied confidently.

"mmm... Look, about where your work is in need of new employees, no? If there is, can you not try to talk to your boss? Who knows I could work there with you"

"If the vacancy.... I think there's. Because now our jobs are pretty solid. But are you sure you want to come to work at my place? How can you work in the catering department?" Ranty asked doubtfully, ensuring Dance's ability at the type of work she was engaged in.

"I can really. I can cook too. Anyways.... It doesn't matter to me if I want to work anything. The important thing is halal" replied Tari with enthusiasm.

"Yes if you are sure. Try it later, I'll talk to my boss"

"Thank you very much Ran. You are my best friend. I promise I will never forget this help of yours" Tari said with her sumring.

"Yes"

"Yes, I've been chalking" Ranty headed for the kitchen, leaving Tari feeling satisfied and relieved. At least for a while he already had a place to stay, and a job as well.

Hopefully this will be a good start to his new life. He would prove to his Papa that he could live independently in a lawful way. Not as dirty as the allegations!

Although now his good name has been broken into pieces in the eyes of the Pratama family. But he would never give up on proving his innocence!

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Meanwhile, Moza and her mother are celebrating their success in removing Tari from the Pratama family, and making her name tainted in the eyes of Tristan.

"Finally yes, Ma, our stumbling block is also eliminated from here" Moza said with a sigh.

"Great you, baby. Mama didn't think that you could trap Tari and manipulate everything. Even the photos and videos were until they looked so original and without engineering. Not in vain yes, you pay dearly for your friend who is an expert creator" Timpal Claudia who is also not inferior sumringah with her daughter.

They were very happy because their plan to get rid of their only barrier, to master Tristan and Pratama group went smoothly.

Not in vain their plan to trap Tari on the grounds of reunion, Moza managed to take him to the discotheque. There they've been people they've paid to pretend to be friends of Moza High School, whom they've assigned to tease Tari.

But it is very difficult to damage and plunge the girl, because she is too innocent and pious. Very maintain his family's self-esteem and values, so he is very anti with dugem-dugem, alcohol and all related night world.

He even threatened to complain to Moza if the girl still forced him. Finally Claudia and Moza used another tactic, because they felt it was impossible to shake the principle and the faith of Dance so strong, which was afraid it even became a boomerang for themselves.

Eventually they both set up a scheming scheme by paying the price of an expert and professional creator, who was also a good acquaintance of Moza at High School. Using her skills to engineer and edit photos and videos of Dance while she was at the club that night.

So that Tari looks so enjoy the moment of dugem-dugem and drunkenness in that place. Even the photos and videos were engineered in such a way and in such large numbers, with different backgrounds and scenes, but the same activities and places.

To make an impression as if Tari had become so accustomed to dugem, drunken night diclub with many men that she allowed to touch her sensitive body parts at will.

And even worse, they also engineered photos and hot videos on the hotel room bed with Tari as the female lead. All that they did was make the girl look wild, naughty and cheap in front of her own Papa. And it will surely make Tristan angry and embarrassed to recognize the girl as the daughter of his pride.

All that they do because they realize, if sooner or later Pratama group will definitely fall into the hands of Tari as the only daughter of Tristan. And they don't want that until it happens.
