Now the blessing of the mother was already in the cantongi Mentari, although it is very heavy heart to leave the beloved family, he said, But Mentari must choose this path for the sake of his ideals who want to be successful and proud of his parents and to give life worthy of his family.

Here, Mentari on board a large ocean liner special for carrying passengers seventh to the city of Jakarta for two days and three nights trip. he chose a ship rather than having to choose the air transportation that is very expensive ticket payment.

Mentari looks confused with a long bed in parallel looks the same all so that he can not distinguish his place where?

""Sir, you want to ask for help."" Mentari said to the ship's officer in the nahkoda uniform who passed by him. Not forgetting the village he wears.

The man called by the sir, stopped immediately.The man sneered at the sun with a hard-to-understand look.

""Do I look like father so you call me 'sir' ?"" Nahkoda said handsomely with a firm voice and heavy, his eye circles look black like pandas who have not slept for several days. Pantes alone Nahkoda does not want to be called the father of his people just like a prince, handsome and charismatic.

In his heart, Mentari was a little afraid of the man called sir, who was originally a handsome young Nahkoda, a tall white figure.

""The Thing."" muttered Mentari in the heart.

Mentari shook his head. "" said the father, but Tedong."" (Not the father but the buffalo) Mentari who was upset at the galakin just because of the question, he also cursed the bright light with the language of the earth.

The girl was just busy pondering her fate how after arriving at the capital. There is no house there, he only capitalizes determinedly without any preparation, capital money is very thin.

Dusk turned completely dark, Mentari still did not move from his place, while the other passengers had returned to their respective rest areas because the floor door would be closed if the night had greeted.

""Yaa.. it's night."" he realized.

Mentari towards the door that will deliver himself into the body of the ship. Yet....

""ah, it's locked.."" startled Mentari.

He also bangs on the door made of iron while asking for help to be opened.

""Woy... Is anyone inside.?"" panic Mentari's. But there is no lawfulness.

The night was getting late, the sea breeze was getting cold into Mentari's body, The sweet girl was now curled up next to the door that was still locked.

Chequek...

The locked door suddenly sounded open, seen a tall figure in a white uniform with a special emblem of the ship's officers stepping from inside.

The mentor who heard the door open immediately rose from his snuggle.

""hey, why the door and ni lock, nakke cold ri kanne."" Oceh Mentari without ba bi bu immediately chattered. ( hey, why the door is in the key, I'm cold here.)

Instantly the ship's officer gasped in shock, when suddenly there was a voice of a girl who was babbling again.

""Hi, Tedong's girl, we meet again."" Said the Nahkoda who previously asked Mentari a few hours ago, now the face of the Nahkoda looks fresh, fresh, the eyes of the vision were not visible because his sleepiness had been treated with a long sleep and now it is the turn of Nahkoda Tedong who will control the ship or change sif.

""He,"" Mentari melengos, he was named a buffalo by Nahkoda who in his nickname as a buffalo.

""What are you doing here ? isn't it forbidden if it's night outside the ship?"" The Nahkoda Tedong.

""I'm.I'm locked outside, you must be the Tedong who locked it."" Mentari accused.

""Yee..accuse ! I just woke up, and just came out of the room to serve already at the stake of the accusation."" protested Nahkoda.

""Sorry."" Mentari's regret. "" Then excuse me and thank you for opening the door."" Mentari's polite, smiling obliquely showed a small howl from her cheek.

""Sweet."" praised Nahkoda Tedong in the hypnotized heart of Mentari's dimples.

The Nahkoda immediately raised his hand before Mentari passed through his body which stood in the middle of the door.

""Heart, my name is Sky."" Said the Nahkoda invites to get acquainted with Mentari.

Instantly Mentari was following his friend, Jum.

" Mirari, there must be smart to take care of yourself, he said, people in the city are full of tricks, let alone a man, good if there is a want.""

""Sorry."" Mentari cupped his hands in front of his chest.

The village girl was clamoring to get acquainted.

Nahkoda named Sky shook his head in amusement after realizing he had praised his own good looks, he went to his office.

While Mentari was already walking fast, towards his bed, there was no admiration to praise the good looks of the captain, whom he thought was far from the word danger of strangers.

The sun breathed a sigh of relief, after sitting himself on a special bed of economy class, not only he was seen there but many people who were already on their backs in bed neatly lined up.
