THE SACRED LOVE OF MENTARI

MEETING WITH ADAM'S FAMILY

Laura belain came that afternoon to her best friend's house just to help Dance to dance, because the Dance that he knew so far was always busy learning and learning so that it could be ascertained by Laura that his best friend could not dance, therefore Laura was present to improve the appearance of Dance, Laura even accidentally bought a dress to be worn by her best friend, although Tari refused her kindness and chose to wear her clothes only, but Laura still forced and did not accept rejection, really selfish girl, selfish in a good sense sieh indeed.

"It's over Tar, try now see yourself in the mirror." he ordered once he finished making the face of Dance.

Dance saw her look reflected, she looked beautiful and graceful.

"It's so pretty, you're really great Ra."

"Laura is that." Laura prided herself while patting her chest.

And along with that, the voice of Rahman's father was heard calling out to Tari from outside and telling her that Adam had come.

"Dance, this is Adam's son coming."

"Yes, father for a moment."

Tari's heart is racing, she is nervous and nervous because soon she will meet her future father-in-law, her hope is that her future father-in-law is a good person and can accept it.

"I'm afraid of Ra." The fear came back again.

Laura clasped her best friend's hand to give reinforcement, "So my best friend, don't be afraid okay, trust me if your family is a good person and will surely accept you." the same words that Laura said yesterday.

"Hmmm, amen." said Tari expectantly in the hope that what Laura said came true.

"Well now Dance, let's go out, your lover must be impatient waiting for you to be introduced and get the blessing of his parents."

"Wait a minute, Ra."

Dance took a breath and exhaled it, it was done to calm herself down.

After feeling he was quite calm, he nodded and said, "Look Ra we're out."

Laura nodded and followed Dance in the back.

When he heard the sound of approaching steps, Adam turned to the direction of the source of the sound. 

Adam smiled as soon as he saw that Dance was somewhat different from usual, usually the face of Dance was always plain without makeup, but now her girl was wearing makeup that made her appearance somewhat different, but now her girl was wearing makeup, or maybe another word is beautiful, but according to Adam, want to wear makeup or without makeup, Dance is still beautiful in his eyes.

But even so, this time Adam could not take his eyes away from Dance, so fascinated he saw the lover, Dance until made salting because it continues to be viewed with such intense.

"This dance has come to Adam's son." cried Rahman's father as soon as he saw the arrival of the only princess.

Adam still did not blink looking at Dance.

"Mas Adam really saw it." Inner Dance.

Laura whispered in Dari's ear, "Mas Adam was fascinated by your beauty Tar, until he didn't blink that, he would want to take you straight to KUA like that." he teased Tari.

"You can just Ra."

"You're so beautiful, son." praise Rahman's father for seeing the princess's performance.

Naomi smiled at the praise from her father, "Thank you father."

"Who used to donk dad who made Dance so beautiful like this, Laura that's it." Laura was proud of herself.

Rahman's father chuckled, "Thank you son for making my daughter so beautiful."

"Together father." replied Laura sincerely.

"Ehh mas Adam, mas Adam kok even bengong kayak statue like this, love response or how to kek for the appearance of Naomi is super beautiful like this." laura's scolded look upon Adam's seemingly never-ending helplessness.

Laura's words made Adam realize, he felt ashamed of himself, "Sorry, the end I was stunned by the beauty of Dance." he admitted.

Naomi's heart warmed to hear the praise of the idol.

"Ekhem ekhem, tuh Tar, Adam was stunned by your beauty." - Laura.

"Apaan sieh Ra." hiss Dari shy because it continues to be seduced mulu.

"Depart now mas." asked Tari in the end because he saw Adam looking back at him intensely.

Adam nodded, "Yes, we should leave now Tar, surely my family is waiting for us."

Laura who was behind Dari could not bear to not tease her best friend back, "Cie cie who will meet camer."

"What sieh Ra, don't tease me anyway." 

"Cieee Dance Shy."

"Dad, we say yes then, father do not worry, I will return the dance intact." said Adam while kissing the hand of his future father-in-law.

"Yes, son, I believe in you, I believe you're guarding Dance."

"Yes dad, thanks for the same father Adam's trust, Adam won't disappoint dad and Dance."

Rahman's father nodded, he believed in Adam, he believed Adam was the best man for his only daughter.

"We go first, Dad." Dance did the same thing as Adam.

"Hopefully dance success." cried Laura cheered as Tari was about to enter Erland's car.

Dance simply smiled and entered the car while waving her hand.

Adam's car is now speeding through the density of the highway at night.

Naomi twirled her hands, which she often did when she was nervous.

Looking at the lover, with one hand Adam grabbed the right hand of Dance and grasped it, the hand felt cold, no need to ask, Adam knew his lover was currently nervous, nervous, the same thing he had felt when he was about to dance night.

Adam points Naomi's hand to her lips, kisses her and tries to calm her, "You're nervous huh."

"A little bit."

Adam smiled, "My parents are good people, he will surely take care of you and bless our relationship, so baby, you don't have to worry." trying to calm Dance down.

"But Tari was worried, I mean, what if old people don't like me, let alone me being poor."

Adam put his index finger on the lips of Dance, "Sssstt, don't ever say that, I don't like it, your family and my family are the same, treasure is not the determinant of someone who is higher or not."

Even so Dari still could not shake off her anxiety, she was really scared, afraid that the family of Adam would not accept her. Time passed quickly, not feeling they had reached the big gate of the house of Adam.

A security guard opened the door for the master upon hearing the sound of a car horn.

Adam stopped his car right in front of the magnificent building that was the residence of his family.

Seeing the magnificent house that stood arrogantly in front of his eyes made the courage of Dance increasingly shrivelled, thinking inwardly whether his decision had correctly accepted Adam's proposal.

But the invited did not budge at all from his seat.

Adam touched the head of Dance which made Dance turn towards him.

"It's okay baby, don't be afraid, I've lost my parents are good people, believe me, they won't bite." Adam tried to joke.

Dari smiled blandly, what Adam had said since then could not make his heart calm, but even so, he said, "I believe you."

"If it comes down, they've been waiting for us inside, you know baby, when I went to pick you up, they said they couldn't wait to see you."

Adam's words just turned out to be able to make Dari's smile really smile for the first time in a few hours.

Adam clasped Dance's hand, it was still cold, but Adam could warm it with his big hand.

By holding hands Adam brought the idol to meet his parents who are currently waiting in the middle room, not only his parents, as he promised, mbak Hawa and mas Irfan who is her sister-in-law also came to the special dinner.

"Hello everyone." said Adam as soon as he entered the living room where his family gathered waiting for him and the most awaited of course was Dance.

Hearing the greeting made everything in the room turn at once, and all eyes focused on the woman who was currently beside Adam.

Dance immediately lowered her head, not daring to look directly at her lover's family who was currently staring at her in such a way.

Each of the people in the room of course judge Dance in the heart.

"Ohhh so this is my son's lover, normally, he doesn't seem to be from among the people." mom Celin researched the appearance of Dance from head to toe.

"A girl who is so simple, I never thought my sister was the same as a simple woman." Inner Eve, but for Eve it does not matter, anyway the important thing is the happiness of her sister.

While his father Adam just flat expression saw the woman brought by his son.

"Dear I introduce you to my family." Adam asked.

Without taking off his hold in the hand of Dance, Adam brings Dance closer to be introduced to all his family members.

"Everyone, introduce, this is Mentari Whardani, the girl I have proposed to as my future wife and who will be the mother of my children."

Everyone in the room gasped at Adam's confession, they never thought that Adam had proposed to the girl who was now beside him, thinking they, Adam would only introduce his lover.

"It's Mentari, she's a good girl, pinter and smart and certainly achievers." Adam boasts of his lover in front of his extended family, "And of course, he has made me fall in love half to death with him." having said that, he said that, Adam pointed his hand at her lips to show his family how much he loved Dance.

"Nah Tari." now it's his family's turn that Adam will introduce, "That's my papa sitting next to the sofa." with Adam's chin pointing to where his papa is.

Dance turned to the man Adam meant, Dance smiled and nodded as a courtesy, "Hello om."

"Hmm."

Atta's face seemed unfriendly, even the answers given were not friendly.

"It seems like the father Adam did not like me." concluded Tari saw the attitude of papa Atta who was less friendly so, but Tari tried to be kind enough to think, "Ahh don't be bad to think Dance, Tari, maybe his father's innate Adam's was so, not because he wasn't friendly."

And now Adam is introducing his other family.

"Yes beautiful and still young it's my dear mama." 

Dance turned her eyes back to her mother Adam, again Dance smiled and nodded, "Hello aunt."

Mama Celin smiled, but Tari could tell that it was a forced smile.

"Kok I feel like your mom and Adam don't seem to like me either."

But Adam was not sensitive to the attitude of his family.

"And that is Mbak Eve and mas Irfan her husband."

Back Dance did the same as before smiling and nodding towards Adam's sister and sister-in-law.

And Eve returned the smile of Dance, not the smile of coercion, but the sincere smile that came from the heart.

"Hi Mentari, introduce me, I've got your husband-to-be." Eve even approached Tari extending her hand to be held by Tari.

"O sister Eve, I'm dancing." Dance shook Eve's hand.

Dance is a bit awkward in the middle of Adam's family, let alone see the dislike gaze that was clearly displayed by his father Atta.

"The color of the food is ready, how about we go directly to the dining table, after all the guests who have been waiting for this since have come." suggested mama Celin.

Everyone in the room nodded in agreement except for Tari.

"Dear dear." Adam still faithfully held the hand of his lover.

The dance only follows as Adam follows his family into the dining room.

At that long meal, there are various foods that are certainly delicious and luxurious, very different from the food that is often served in a simple table at home, it makes Dari so he remembers his father, he said, he wondered inwardly, "Dad has eaten yet huh, is he sad to eat alone."

"Look, sit down, baby." Adam pulls a chair for Dance.

"Thank you for that."

"Tari dari eat, do not hesitate, you will soon be part of our family." added Hawa.

"Thank you mbak." 

While eating, the introgation session conducted by Adam's family on Dance began.

"Your parents work where Dance is." The first question starts from mama Celin.

"My father is just a auntie angkot puller, while my mother, has been dead since five years ago" replied Tari as it is.

It was seen that Atta's papa was frowning at hearing the unwanted answer of the girl who was groomed by her son as a future wife.

While mama Celin looks to breathe, he had guessed that Dance came from a simple family, "So, what income your father made from the results of attracting angkot a day." he continued.

"Not necessarily aunty, sometimes only fifty thousand, at most two hundred thousand."

The Wijaya family is not a proud and picky family in terms of association, you could say the Wijaya family is a philanthropic family that always contributes even as a permanent donor in some orphanages, but I don't know, seeing the son who will later become the heir to his business empire intending to marry a girl from the bottom makes mama Celin not accept with all this.

"Ohhh, you're just an angkot puller kid."

"Yes tan."

"You met Adam where Dance is, and how your story got to be." question kepo from Eve.

Adam answered, "We met in an accident." 

Adam then reminisces to the past where he first met with Dance, the meeting will never be forgotten by Adam until anytime and will be a beautiful memory that he will always remember.
