My Love Ends At Pesantren

Deal

This morning Mentari woke up, he saw Ainun who was still faithful with his long sleep. Without realizing it, his tears fell, Ainun's hand held. There was a pain tickling his heart seeing his only daughter lying weak.

His mind floated in laughter recalling his conversation with Azka. A requirement that Azka had given him. He has not been able to answer Azka's request, there is a sense of disrelief that he feels.

His tears fell more and more, he could not let go of his daughter. The only reason that kept him going all this time.

Kissing the hand of the princess, her tears still faithfully adorned her beautiful face. He sat down weakly thinking about Azka's speech last night.

Flashbacks

"Please read it well, it's a requirement that you do, I'll pay for all Ainun's treatment, I'll hand over a map to Mentari.

"Condition? You're crazy, aren't you? Ainun is also your daughter" cried Mentari as she picked up the map.

How surprised Mentari after reading the contents of the map. Disappointed is what he feels right now. He was very disappointed by Azka's attitude, who instead used a cunning way to bring Ainun from him.

"I will not allow Ainun to come to you, please do not do this to me" Mentari pleaded with Azka.

"I will not separate you, if you want, I will be very happy if you also come with me" Azka said.

"No, I'll never come with you. I won't want to live with a crafty man like you" cried Mentari as she threw the map in her hand at Azka.

Emotionally, Mentari left Azka's room. He ran to Ainun's room, unable to part with his only daughter.

Flash on

He stared at the pale face of the princess, occasionally kissed her daughter's cold hands. He really felt helpless. Will he give up his daughter for Ainun's recovery.

"I'm sorry mom, I can't be away from you" she said with tears in her eyes.

"I will try to find money to pay for your medical expenses" he continued.

The sun tried as hard as it could, wiping away the tears that soaked his face. He would not let Ainun be taken by Azka.

Tok tock..

Azka went inside Ainun's treatment room, there was a sense of guilt seeing Mentari's face. But there was no other way to get back with Mentari, which he had to do except to provide those requirements.

He loved Mentari very much, but he was unable to get Mentari to return to him. He has to do this. But it turns out he was wrong, the hatred of Mentari was already very large, so Mentari firmly rejected the requirements.

"Have you changed your mind?" ask Azka.

"No, I will never accept those terms" Mentari declined.

"I will try to find money to pay for my daughter's medical expenses" Mentari continued.

"Why are you so stubborn? Do you have the heart to see Ainun like that? He must be operated on immediately" cried Azka. His hands were already clenched to hold back the emotions.

"You have the heart, with your ego you make your own daughter as a means of getting what you want" cried Mentari.

"I love you so much, it's the only way you can be with me" he said in a slightly weakened tone.

"You're wrong, with your attitude like this making me hate you even more" Mentari tried to speak calmly.

"I cannot go back to you again, I will marry Joseph. Now I love him very much" Mentari continued.

"That means you have to let Ainun come with me" Azka said and left Mentari.

The sun was sitting limp, he really felt helpless. His eyes now turned to Ainun's body. Mentari stood up and walked over to his daughter's bed.

"Patience dear, I will definitely get the money as soon as possible" he said, looking at the princess' pale face.

Cring cring..

The ringing sound of the phone rang, Mentari took her mobile phone. His forehead was wrinkled to see the name on his cellphone screen.

"Hello Assalamualaikum, what's the matter Nad?"

"......"

"Alright, I'm going there now, there just happens to be some stuff that I have to buy as well,"

"....."

"Greetings waalaikum,"

Mentari turned off his phone and kissed Ainun's forehead. He hurried to leave Ainun's room.

In a cafe..

Mentari entered a cafe not far from the hospital where Ainun was treated. He looked around looking for the figure of the person who contacted him.

Not long after, he saw Nadia and Rika were waving to him. Mentari also stepped foot towards the table where Nadia and Rika.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting" Mentari said and sat down in front of Nadia.

"What do you want to talk about? It seems very important" asked Mentari.

"Yes, this is related to Kak Nabila, what did you do to him?" nadia asked in a slightly high voice.

"Nadia, lower your voice. Look everyone is staring at us" Rika scolded.

"I didn't do anything, yesterday I was just in the hospital, and came out for a while to buy Ainun needs, all day yesterday I did not meet with Kak Nabila," replied Mentari.

"You don't have to lie, to be honest. What did you say to Kak Nabila?" asked Nadia sarcastically.

"For God's sake, I've never met Sister Nabila. I'm not lying, why am I meeting Nabila, "Mentari is trying to defend herself.

"You also do not believe too much with the words of Kak Nabila, I also feel strange with the attitude of Kak Nabila these days," said Rika.

"Why are you defending that girl?"

"I'm not defending anyone, a few days ago I saw Kak Nabila telling a man to kill someone."

"What's? You must have seen it wrong" Nadia did not believe Rika's words.

"This is her picture of handing over some money to the man," Rika gave her phone to Nadia.

Nadia looked carefully at the photo, she felt disbelief in what she saw. The person he trusted was keeping a big secret.

Mentari accidentally saw the photo and recognized the man in the photo. Mentari also pulled Rika's phone, and paid closer attention.

"This man was the one who followed me yesterday" muttered Mentari.

"You know him?" nadia asked with full investigation.

"No, I don't know him. But this man who was following me yesterday, fortunately my friend's sister suddenly came, and this man even ran away" said Mentari.

"So right my suspicion, the person in the photo is you, Kak Nabila wants to get rid of Mentari," said Rika.

"We must.." Nadia's speech was cut off.

Cringe cring

"Halo Assalamualaikum," Mentari replied as she picked up her phone.

"......"

"What's? Okay, I'll be there now," Mentari said, turning off her phone.

"What's going on?" nadia asked worriedly.

"Critically, I have to get there immediately" Mentari said and ran away from the cafe.

"How is Ainun?" ask Mentari.

"It's all because of your stubbornness" Azka said.

"If only you had directly agreed to the terms I gave, Ainun would have been aware, ", Azka continued.

As the mentari got more confused, he no longer knew what he was going to do. He could not see Ainun continuously like this. With a heavy heart, he accepted Azka's requirements.

"Alright, me and Ainun will come with you" he said sobbing.

With a happy feeling Azka also entered the operating room. As he was about to enter, he met Joseph. He smiled triumphantly at Joseph.

Joseph looked at Mentari, there was a sense of disappointment in his heart. But he understood the reason Mentari accepted the requirement.

"Mass?" Mentari was surprised to see Joseph standing behind him.

"I'm sorry, I...."

"I understand, I'll take it all. I'm sure if we match, we'll be together" he said, hugging Mentari.

"I love you so much, but I don't want to be selfish. I have always been convinced of the greatness of God, he who has set the course of our lives." Joseph loosened his embrace, he looked at Mentari's face.

"Believe in the power of prayer, all this is not over. We leave it to the Owner of Love. We'll be reunited if we match, rest assured. Never stop praying." he continued.

"I will always say your name on the sidelines of my prayer, I love you very much mas," said Mentari with sobbing.

Joseph pulled Mentari back into his arms. Without them noticing, a pair of eyes were looking at their affection.

Nabila who saw the affection could only clench her hand to resist the emotions that began to control her. He hated Mentari.
