THE SACRED LOVE OF MENTARI

WELCOME BACK HOME

"Welcome back home." that's what Luke said when he arrived at the airport, after more than a year never returned, now he's back set foot in the land of his birth, if you want to be honest, now, Luke doesn't really want to go back, but what's the power, his papa condition requires him to come back.

"Young master."

Mr. Agung who was the personal driver of his father had been waiting for him in the airport, the man who was his age smiled brightly as he saw his young master walking over to him.

Mr. Agung can see that his young master is now very changed in terms of appearance and attitude, if the appearance of Lukas was already a delinquent with messy hair and torn jeans, if the former, now the men look neat and more handsome, and also look calm and polite.

"Young master, welcome back to Indonesia sir." said Mr. Agung once the young master was near him.

Adam smiled and replied to Grandfather's greeting, "Thank you, Great sir, how is the situation of the Great sir." Luke asked attentively, if in the past, let alone say hello, just glanced at ogah.

"Alhamdulillah I am good young master, young master himself how is he doing." Great sir behind his nanya.

"Also good, sir."

"Thank God losing you're fine."

"We'd better get home now sir, sir's gonna be tired and need a break."

"Sir, I want to go directly to the hospital, I want to see the condition of papa."

"Master wants to go straight to the hospital, don't you go home for a rest, you look tired."

"No, Grandfather, I want to go straight to the hospital, I want to see the state of papa."

"Okay sir, let me deliver."

Two men of different generations walked together towards the parking lot.

Mama Lili immediately turned her head when she heard the sound of the door of the room where her husband was treated open, mama Lili immediately jumped when she found out that the one who came was her favorite son, her son, the woman who was still beautiful at her age who had entered the five heads immediately ran to meet the arrival of her only son.

Mama Lili hit the body of her son, mama Lili hugged Luke very tightly to channel her feelings of kangen because the last time she met Luke was 3 months ago when she and her husband visited America.

"My son, I'm so grateful that you arrived safely" she said gratefully and happily because she was able to meet her son again, "Mama is so happy to see you."

Luke stroked his mother's back, "Yes ma, Luke too."

"Where is the state of papa ma." asked Lukas turned to the bankar where the papa was lying.

Mama Lili unraveled her arms and turned to her husband who lay with her eyes closed, "Your papa condition is now better Luke, fortunately the doctor immediately handled it, now your father is resting."

"Thank God ma." sighed Luke in relief.

Tired that he had not had time to feel because of the long journey between America and Indonesia now began to feel when he heard that the state of his papa has now improved.

Luke walked towards his papa just to say hello, Luke looked at the man who had raised him well and also always scolded him for his stubbornness, now, Luke is no longer like before, he said, he has changed, the events of the night that changed him into a better person like today.

"Hi pa, your son is back." Luke greets his papa even though he can't hear it, Luke holds his papa's hand lying beside his body, "Chealing fast, pity mom, he often cries because he sees papa lying sick like this."

After inviting his papa to chat, talk one-sided sieh means, Luke walked towards the sofa, he wanted to rest his body that felt tired and achy.

"You're hungry baby, do you want to eat, do you want to eat what you want to order." asked her mother attentively.

Luke used to be the most upset with his mother because of his carelessness, but once in America, one of the things he missed was the voice of his mother, the carelessness of his mother who was full of attention in it, but once in America, one of the things he missed was the voice of his mother, the carelessness of his mother who was full of attention in it, his omens are also chatty and sieh attention, but still his mother can not be replaced.

"Let's go ma, Luke is not hungry." refused Luke leaned his body on the sofa and closed his eyes.

"Well, but if you're hungry, say yes."

"Yes ma."

"Darling, you'll leave."

Looks like Luke had to delay for a break because his mother asked him to speak, Luke straightened his body before answering his mother's question, "Gak ma, Luke is only here until papa is healed."

"What do you mean, you'll go again."

"Yes, Luke will return to America to complete Luke's education."

"Can you not go back to America baby, mom is always worried about your situation when away from mama, mama can not calm thinking about you."

Lukas chuckled, "Mama take it easy, oma takes very good care of me and makes sure I eat three meals a day with fulfilled nutrition, so, mama don't have to worry about me going hungry." Luke answered his mother's words jokingly.

"Oh my goodness, that's not what mama Lukas meant, mama was just afraid that the night was happening again, you don't know how worried mama was then, mama, mama felt numb when she heard you had an accident at the time, she thought she had lost you."

"Mom, I'm calm, Luke is not like he used to be, ma, the events of the night taught Luke many things." Luke tried to convince his mother.

"Despite that, you don't come back, baby, you're in Jakarta just take care of your papa company, your papa is old, it's time for your papa to retire and you take over."

"Ahhh this mama is just there, cook papa who is young so it is said to be old, if papa denger, Luke is sure papa will be offended."

"Alluding to how, real people are you old."

"Mean you're old too."

"That's good, if mom's young."

Luke chuckles, everywhere it is, women always refuse to be said to be old.

"Mommy mama." Lukas shook his head, "Saying old papa, but mama herself refused to say old."

****

Tomorrow, Lukas will return to America because you can say his papa condition has improved and has been allowed to go home from the hospital.

Mama Lili to beg her son to stay and not to return to America, unfortunately Luke remained with his stance, he will still return to America as originally planned, he said, America could not completely make him forget the fateful accident, but while in Jakarta, almost every night the deadly incident continues to overshadow his dreams that make him never sleep well.

And before returning, inexplicably, Luke is moved to meet Tari, not actually to meet her in person, but more to him want to see the state of Dance from a distance just to make sure that the woman can live her life well.

And this is where Lukas stood since then, standing across the street waiting for the moment Tari out of his office because it was already time to go home.

After half an hour had passed, and Luke's wait was not in vain, Luke could clearly see the girl he had destroyed one year ago walking with a man beside him, Lukas could see that the girl looked fine and looked healthy.

Lukas smiled, he was happy to see Tari can live his life and look happy, this of course slightly reduced his guilt due to his actions in the past.

"Thank God he's fine, I'm calm" he muttered, letting go of Tari who entered a car with the man who had walked out with him.

After making sure with his own eyes that Dance is fine, now Luke decides to go home, he stops the first taxi he sees.

****

"Do you want us to stop first so dance, coffee or...."

"Don't do it, just take me directly to the house, I feel tired and my body aches, I want to be immediately restless." refused Dance even before Johan finished his speech.

Johan with a variety of efforts and power in the end managed to invite Tari to go home together, well even though only delivering doank sieh, but think Johan this is an advancement considering that Dance is very difficult to conquer, but it is very difficult to conquer, even when they managed to invite Tari home together and they were already sitting sweet both in the car, which Tari did just silence and seemed very lazy to chat even though Johan had tried to provoke a conversation, he said, but Tari only answered briefly.

"Who you live with Dance with."

"Self." guess, really short answer Dance.

"Do you not intend to find a companion so that you are not lonely." Johan tried to provoke the conversation towards the things that lead to a relationship.

"Don't be interested, I don't feel lonely anyway." said Tari.

"Ohh." Johan only ber oh ria, it feels like he has run out of chatter material considering that Dance only answers as if.

"Thank you Johan for the ride" said Tari as soon as Johan's car stopped right in front of the alley to his house, even he did not mince words just to offer Johan to stop by, all Tari does is want to get out of the car, but when her hand is about to push the car door, Johan holds her by holding her arm.

"Dance, wait a minute."

Dari was forced to pull her hand from the car door and turned her head lazily towards Johan.

"Why are you."

"Mmmm, didn't you offer me to stop by."

"I'm sorry, but next time, I feel really tired and want to rest immediately." declined Dance smooth, "Nothing mas."

Johan took a slow breath and exhaled, whereas he wanted to linger a bit with Dance, but well it feels like the girl is currently really tired and needs rest, and for the umpteenth time Johan had to swallow disappointment, "Yes already then, you rest yes so that tomorrow you fress live a new day."

Dari nodded, "Well, good bye." she said and opened the car door, Dari walked over without looking back.

"Dance, Dance, why are you so hard to conquer." her sigh stared at the back of Tari who was walking away.

When Luke arrives at his house, he runs into his mother.

"Where are you from, baby."

"Meet old friends ma, saying goodbye because tomorrow I'm going back to Amrik." he lied.

"Tomorrow you will come back."

Lukas is sure.

Mama Lili looked mouthed heavily, "What do you have to do so you don't come back to America."

"There's no ma."

"You are, like your father, stubborn, hard to stop when you want."

"Mama knew that, so stop persuading Luke to stay, because Luke will still return."

Bik Retno one of ART at the Pangestu family residence is seen walking closer to his mistress and young master.

"Excuse me madam, sir." say hello bik Retno interrupted the conversation of Luke and his mother.

"Why bik."

"The great master asked me to call the young master, he said the young master was told to meet the great master in his study."

"Papa call me bik."

"Yes sir."

"What's up."

"Lack of knowing me sir."

"Here you better meet your papa, maybe there's something important that your papa will talk to you about."

Luke nodded, "Good ma."

Luke walked to where his father's office was, when he came to the door, Luke knocked on the door.

"Lake in."

Luke pushed open the door when he heard his papa's orders, his father sitting on the couch in the study.

"Sit Luke." papa Sebastian ordered.

From the look of his face that looks serious, it seems there is something important that papa Sebastian will tell his son.

"What a pa, it seems like there is something important that you will tell Luke." asked Luke as soon as he sat his butt in a long sofa.

Papa Sebastian nodded, "Cancel your intention to return to Amrik." said papa Lukas straight to the point.

Luke frowned, "What do you mean, papa wants Luke to postpone Luke's return to Amrik."

"It's not delayed, but you'll never go back there, in a sense, you'll stay here."

"Stay pa."

"Hmmm, it's time for you to take over the leadership of Luke's company, papa it feels like it is no longer able to take care of the company, it's time for papa to abdicate and hand over the presidency to you."

"Luke must take care of the company pa." he asked.

Papa Sebastian nodded.

"But Luke couldn't bear it, Luke had no experience in the business world." that's just the reason Luke subtly rejected his papa's request, because he couldn't possibly refuse bluntly, if he used to think long without thinking he would definitely refuse raw, but now, he can maintain his attitude and become a grown man.

"You son of papa Luke, the blood of the businessman is in your blood, papa gave up the company not only because you're papa's son, but I'm sure you can." papa Sebastian said full of confidence in the ability of his son.

"But pa, what about the S2 education that I am currently on, I have not finished it and this is my last year."

"You don't need Luke's school, all you need now is to jump straight into the field to handle our company, papa is sure, under your leadership, our company will be more advanced and developed." papa Sebastian is absolutely confident in his son's abilities.

The risk of being an only child becomes the focus and hope of the family so that Luke inevitably has to obey the wishes of his father even though his heart actually does not want it.

"Okay, Luke will take over the leadership of the company."

Papa Sebastian smiled at his son's decision, "Papa is sure you can Luke, papa is counting on you."

Luke only smiled faintly in response to his papa's words.
