Pursuing the Love of the Mentari

Being Honest in Dance

Darto Pov's

Entering the room, I did not immediately lay down on the bed. I decided to sit on the balcony of my room. Looking at the sky that tonight does not show the stars because it rained quite heavy this afternoon.

Given my conversation with Alya earlier, I did not deny everything Alya said. It's true, I should have been honest with Tari about my past. It wouldn't be fair if I kept hiding everything from Dance.

I was thinking it didn't matter if Tari didn't know my past. But again, what Alya said was true. A relationship should be based on honesty and trust. If only the relationship was not based on both, surely the edges of my relationship with Dance would end the same. That is with farewell.

It's been quite the pain and hurt that Dance has felt from her past. And I don't want to add or incise new wounds in his heart and life. His love and affection have been wasted by the wrong people. And I don't want to be the same person, the one who wasted Love and Love Dance.

Especially if Tari knows my past from others. Sure, the wound in his heart would deepen. And it could be, my struggle all this time to get his heart will end in vain. Ah, that can't happen. Anyway, I don't want to lose Dance and Adam. As much as possible, I will take care of and love them all my heart and life.

All right, now it's time for me to talk honestly about my past to Dance. There will probably be disappointment in the heart of Dance. However, I'm sure. Dance is a wise woman and also a good one. At least, although I was late to tell him, the disappointment that will be felt later by Tari will not be too deep.

Today, after taking Alya to see the campus that will be used as a place to study, I plan to come to the office of Dance. I intentionally didn't tell her that I wanted to give her a little surprise.

Accompanied by Alya, I bought a box of chocolate cake along with a bouquet of flowers for Tari. Alya wanted to come with me. But I forbid, because today I just want to talk to Tari about my past. Alya understood. Instead, I promise you, this weekend will take her on an excursion with Dance and Adam.

After driving Alya back home, I headed straight to Tari's office. The restaurant business was completely handed over to my assistant. Today I want to spend the whole day with Dance. I want to enjoy time with my little family.

After traveling for about 20 minutes, I finally arrived at the courtyard of the office of Tari. I brought the cake and the bouquet I bought. Walk towards the receptionist, asking if Dari is in the office or not.

"Sorry, I have to ask. Is Mother Dance in place?" ask me at the office receptionist.

"There's Sir. Did you make an appointment with Mother Dance?" call the receptionist friendly.

"Emmm, look, Ma'am. You can't contact Mother Dance. Say, her fiance is waiting downstairs again," I said. While the receptionist just gawked at my words. He must have been confused by the words just now. In fact, yesterday's fiancee event was only attended by family only. While business colleagues Dance no one knows. Including its employees.

"Tu-wedding sir?" tanyanya. Looking at the receptionist's expression, it felt like I wanted to laugh. But I hold it because I keep my image in front of him.

"Yes, say it like that" I replied.

Not waiting long, he also contacted the dance room. After that, he glanced back at me. With a confused look, he asked me to go straight to the Dance room. I nodded and casually left the receptionist.

🍀🍀🍀

"Assalamualaikum," I said as I entered the Dance room. Seeing me coming, Tari immediately moved out of her chair.

"Waalaikumsalam Mas" replied Tari. "Mas, you didn't come here first? Where I was shocked when the receptionist said there was my fiancee downstairs," continued Tari.

"He he, intentionally. I want to make a surprise for you. Nih, mas deliberately buy this for you," I said while giving cake and also a bouquet.

"Masha God, thank you. This is Adam Loh Mas' favorite cake,"

"Yes not papa. Later eat together with Adam yes dear," I said again. Dance just nodded.

"Come here want someone to talk to you on deck,"

"What Mas? What?"

"Yes, very important. We want nothing in our relationship to be hidden. Therefore, Mas Want to talk about this with you," I said again. Honestly, I'm not ready. However, I do not want to save too long and later the consequences are not good for my relationship and also Dance.

"Seriously so, Mas. Emang Mas wants to say what the hell," replied Tari.

"But, previously Mas wanted to apologize if this conversation makes you disappointed and also hurt. By Allah, there is no intention. I just want you to know this from my own mouth and not someone else's. Mas does not want, because of the dishonesty of Mas, it will affect our relationship," said I.

"Alright Mas. Tell me what you want to talk about," said Tari while staring intensely at me.

Finally, I told Tari all about my past. Several times I paused my words, several times I also caught a look of disappointment on the face of Tari. Really, Aki told me the real situation. I don't subtract and I don't over. The past I've been through, everything I told Tari.

There is a sense of relief in the heart when it can bring out what is in the heart all this time. At least, now Dari already knows who I really am. Even if later there are people who tell, Tari will not be surprised and also disappointed in excess. Now, I leave everything to Tari. I'll accept whatever Dance's decision is after I'm honest with her.

Most importantly, I've covered nothing from Dance. If he's disappointed, it's only natural. Even if he is angry, I will take it with a chest.

"I'm sorry, if I'm being honest about this right now with you. I'm just afraid, if I'm Honest, you'll leave Mas" I said softly.

Huuuff.

I heard the breath of Dance. I know, at least he must be disappointed with what I said.

"Mas, thank you for being honest about Mas's past. I appreciate it all" said Tari. "Mas, doesn't everyone have a past? So did I. I know how my past was. I feel too selfish if I can't accept my past. There's no reason I can't accept your past. Mas wants to accept my bitter past. Let us both bury our past. We look to our future. Insha Allah, I accept everything that is in you. I accept your past Mas," continued Tari again.

Hearing that, I did not feel tears. God, it's not wrong that I chose Dance in my life. He is so wise and so good. Thank God, you returned my efforts with such sweet results.

"Thank you dear. Already willing to accept Mas as it is," I said. "Don't you be disappointed to hear everything?" back, I asked Dance.

"Mas, being disappointed is natural right? But for what I dissolve in that taste. No matter how much I feel disappointed in Mas, it still will not erase the past that Mas experienced right? So, stop. Don't talk about the past anymore. We better meet our future Mas," replied Tari.

"Masha Allah, very wise wife-to-be. So I can't wait for your wedding deck" I said.

"Ish, patient Mas. Preparation is not done yet,"

"Mas can finish now. Let's get married tomorrow,"

"Ck! Substantial. Already ah Mas, don't tease me. I have to get Adam now. Mang Ujang can not pick up because again permission to go home," said Tari.

"Yes, we'll take Adam together. I want to go out with you guys. Unfortunately permission just don't have to come back here again when you've picked up Adam,"

"Emmm, okay. I'll tell my secretary to handle the unfinished work. Then Adam also asked to be sent to the bookstore,"

"Ok, Mas anterin y'all wherever you go," I said again.

"Devil, dreadful," replied Tari.

I also just chuckled at the words of Dance. Relieved to know Dance's response to my past. Right what Tari said, now I need to be able to bury my past. The future has now awaited me with Dance.

There was a lot of hope and hope I had for my relationship with Dance. I always pray, may Allah always cherish my relationship with Dance. I promise as much as I can, to continue to make Dance happy, Adam and my future children.

After a 15-minute journey, Tari and I arrived at Adam's school. Seeing our arrival, Adam immediately cheered excitedly and asked me to lap him.

With pleasure, I picked up the little boy. Shower him with a kiss. While Adam who got such treatment was only able to laugh because of amused.

"Yes, Adam was amused" said the boy, keeping his face away from me.

"Dad's son, how was school?" I asked Adam.

"Seru Yah's. Adam learned to draw" he replied enthusiastically.

"Great Dad's son," I said as I scrambled my little whiz hair.

"Ekhm, Mama in cuekin nih," said Tari. Oh God, I forgot. If I pick up Adam with his mother.

"Mama don't get angry, you'll get old" I joke at Tari. While Tari only throws her mouth when she hears my words.

"Daha don't make that cake. Shame on Adam who," I said again. "Oh yeah, said Adam going to the bookstore? What if we leave now?"

"You want to. Yeeaaay, let's Well we're leaving now" replied adam enthusiastically.

Me and Tari nodded. Get in the car, I do this four-wheel drive to a shopping mall not far from Adam's school.

Along the way, Adam did not stop chattering. Ask this and that to me and also Dance. We are happy to answer all of Adam's questions.

"Adam seneng's. Adam now has a full family. Adam had a Mom and Dad, too" Adam said.

Nyeeess

There is a tremble in the heart when it hears Adam's words. Is it so happy that he has a full family? Especially having a father figure. I am grateful that Adam received me well.

Not getting the affection and attention of the figure of a father from childhood, making Adam must miss the figure of a father.

Adam, even if you're not my real son. But your love and affection for you is like love and affection for your own child. I will try my best to make you happy.

Grow up to be a strong and great kid. Be the man who can protect your mother. Really, I love you both very much. Dance, Adam, now you're my life.
