THE SACRED LOVE OF MENTARI

END OF RELATIONSHIP

The flasback

Adam sat on a park bench, his face looked cloudy, he repeatedly squeezed his hair indicating that he was currently depressed, depressed because he was not the best in his generation, Adam was afraid, afraid his father was angry, angry because the father always pressured him to be number one.

"Papa will surely be furious." the sentence he has repeatedly recited, "It's my fault for not trying so hard." Adam blames himself.

When frustration struck, a red rose thrust into his face, Adam automatically looked up to see who was thrusting the flower on him.

It turned out to be a clown in a rabbit costume.

The clown wiggled the flower in his hand in the hope that Adam would take the flower.

"I don't need flowers." Adam cast out subtly.

But it turns out that the clown sik did not accept rejection from Adam, he continued to shake his hand hoping that the guy sik received the flowers offered by him.

Finally though forced, Adam took the flower too so that the clown snik quickly went away.

The clown sik nodded, it seemed like he was glad that the flowers his gift had been received.

And instead of going as Adam wished, the rabbit-costumed clown sat next to him.

"This clown why sit sieh." Adam's upset, he was prepared to drive away the clown's sik, but he did not do when the clown sik opened his rabbit's head, Adam did not think that the person behind the clown costume was a girl, young girl again seen from his face that looks still unyu-unyu, Adam taxir may be around the age of 18 years.

"Huhhh, what a hot vow." Sik clown who is none other than Tari flapped his hands to his face that was flooded with sweat, "Gini amet looking for money."

"You girls." asked Adam spontaneously.

"You think."

"You're why you're wearing a clown costume like this."

"Find the money."

"Find money, why do you make money, not at your age like it's your time to go to school."

"Yes that if the person who has a lot of money, his job is to study has gone out of business, but for me who comes from a simple family, must go to school and find money for expenses." he lamented.

"Ohhh yes, you haven't paid, come here pay the flowers, it's the last flower you know, it's my lucky day, my flowers do it all today." the tired face that was now looks cheerful.

"How much."

"Twenty thousand."

Adam reached into his wallet from his pants pocket, took the red banknote and handed it to Tari.

"Niehh."

"There's no money."

"Nothing, it's a doank."

Dari offered several pieces of money as a change, but with his generosity Adam even gave back from the money given to the Dance.

 "No, change it for you."

"Ehhh, this really is my sister, the change is for me."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Rizki son of sholehah." muttered Tari gratefully.

"Thank you, brother, may you always be given health, long life, facilitated all his affairs and most importantly easy soul mate." long Dance prayer.

Adam chuckles, now he can smile, this girl beside him can make him smile and of course also grateful for what he has today considering the condition of the girl next to him is not as lucky as he is, he does not need work to finance his school, his job is enough to just study and study.

"Amen." Adam guaranteed the prayer that the girl recited to him.

"You're still in school." she asked.

"After the graduation announcement."

"Oo, soon to go to college donk ya."

"The idea is that, this is again the work of selling flowers to collect money for tuition, thankfully sieh get a scholarship."

"It's a pity." Adam's mind was concerned.

"So much why are you wearing a bunny clown costume, whether you're not hot or how."

"So hot, but well how, I was forced to use this rabbit costume, because my friends like to bully me sister."

"God, how evil your friends are."

"Well, I went to an elite school, my average schoolmate was a rich kid, maybe I was the only poor kid who went there, I went to that school because of a scholarship, in school alone I was often bullied, especially if they knew that I was selling gini for sure I would be more bullied, but fortunately I have a friend who always defended me." so confided gini sik Tari, dari, even though they just knew.

"Self, why do you look so sad, you look frustrated."

Adam then told her the turmoil of his heart that caused her to grieve so much.

They are two people who just know each other, but they both feel comfortable with each other to tell the problems they are currently feeling.

Trying to comfort the man, Tari wisely said, "Sister don't be so sad, cook only because of the value so that the parents will scold the brother, yes even though scolding, so, I'm sure that means it's for the good of brother, spurring brother to get even more value." the words spoken by Naomi were accompanied by a smile that made Adam who saw her feel better and not blame himself anymore.

"Yes you're right, if my papa is angry, it must be for my good as well."

And the meeting that day ended just like that, but the meeting with the girl imprinted Adam's heart, so he regretted himself why not ask the name of the flower girl, the flower seller, and Adam regretted not asking for the girl's number.

But then, it turns out fate brought them back together, Adam who is currently the ospek committee on campus met again with Tari because Tari turned out to be a new student on his campus, because lucky to meet the girl made Adam promise to pursue her and his efforts were not in vain because the girl named Mentari was finally his lover and soon will change his status to his wife.

Flasback off

"That's how the story is." Adam ended the story.

Of course the meeting with Dance is something that Adam will never forget, and not everything he tells is just the outline.

"So sweet really sieh." Eve timpal smiled, only she really listened to the love story of her sister, she said, while both her parents and her husband did not care at all about the love story of Adam and Dance.

Mama Cellin who was initially enthusiastic about meeting her son's lover now lost interest when she found out the girl's background, according to him the girl was not as level as her family, papa Atta obviously dislikes it the most here, if Mama Cellin can still be friendly and fake smile just to appreciate her son, but papa Atta obviously is not, the man's face continued to show a flat and cold face.

Dance is not blind, she can feel that her husband's family does not like her, even though her mother Adam is friendly, but Tari knows it's just pretend.

And after the dinner, now they gather in the middle.

Adam who went to the bathroom, Dance did not want to be abandoned by Adam, but it was also impossible that he held back the kebellet Adam. Actually, as soon as the dinner ended, Tari wanted to go straight home, but she didn't feel well with Adam so this is where she is now, sitting with Mama Cellin, while papa Atta had no idea where she was, and Eve and her husband as soon as the dinner ended straight home, actually Eve wanted to stay longer at her parents' house, she wanted to chat longer with her sister's lover, unfortunately, she said, his daughter Orlin's nanny called that the princess was crying for her.

At this time mama Celin can not be separated to look at Dari, and it makes Dari awkward, he just lowered his head not dare to look at the sharp eyes of mama from her lover, Tari just twisted her hand, Dari just twisted her hand, he often does it when he is nervous, like now

"Mmm, yes tan, approximately 4 years." replied Tari.

"Hhhmmm, quite a while too."

"Yes tan."

"I'm sure, in that 4-year period, my son has given you a lot of luxury goods, and gave money to your family, on a, a, your father was an angkot sopit whose income might not be enough to eat." mama Cellin launched his attack.

Dance looked up, looked at mama Celin with a probing look, "What auntie means."

Mama Celin smiled cynically, "Don't I mean it's obvious, you pretend not to understand that you look innocent and innocent in front of me, I'll make it clear, you approached my son knowing that he came from a family of kayakan, you realized that by marrying my son, you and your father who was just a towering man could live a good life without the trouble of working again."

The gaping dance, not expecting that the mama of the one she loved insulted her blatantly, hurt to hear herself and her father being insulted, while the fact was not as Celin's mama had said.

"I'm not like that aunt, me and my father never had such intentions, I really sincerely love Adam's mas." Dance straightened out, she really does not accept herself said to be dating Adam because because of the treasure, she really sincerely loves Adam.

"All women will say it too, saying it's sincere and absolutely love, the year is only the same love my son's treasure."

Dancing down, tears seeping from the corner of his eyes, he could not stand the insults thrown by his lover's mother.

Adam returned, the man smiled because he thought his mother and her lover had become friends and talked about many things.

Seeing Adam, Dance hurriedly wiped away her tears, she tried to normalize her face.

Adam immediately sat down near his lover, "Sorry, dear old."

Dance tried to smile to reply to Adam, "It's okay mas."

"You talk about anything." to him.

"Defident donk dear, this is a woman's business." mama Celin put the mask on his face again with a friendly attitude.

"Okay, I get it." Adam answered no further.

"Mas, I'd better go home yeah, it's night, I'm afraid you're worried." Tari's intrusion.

"You want to go home now, all right."

"Ma, Tari said she wanted to go home."

"Oh, you already want to go home, very quickly, even though auntie is talking to you Dance." 

Dance was just silent, lazy she was bullying the woman who was full of falsehood.

"It's late at night ma'am, fearing that Dance's father was worried that Adam was late for his daughter."

"Well, be careful with the car, baby."

"Yes, it must be."

"Dance goodbye aunt." she said flat and kissed the back of Mama Celin's hand.

"Often it's a pity to play here" he said in the mouth, but in the heart of mama Celin really hope this is the last meeting, even he hopes the relationship of his son and the poor girl ends, he said, he really did not want to have a daughter-in-law from the lower classes.

Naomi just kept quiet said Celin's mother, Adam who replied, "Yes ma, Adam will often bring Dance home so that mama has friends."

Mama Cellin smiled wryly.

"We'll say hi, ma."

"Be careful, baby."

"Okay ma."

"Dear dear." Adam leads Dance out.

****

The car drove slowly, the atmosphere in the car was quiet, what Tari did was silence with a straight forward view, his face also looks sad, it makes Adam ask.

"Darling, you're why."

The dance that is engrossed in its own world does not hear.

"Dear." Adam touched his lover's arm.

"Ehhh, why mas."

"Why are you, dreaming."

Dance shook her head, "I'm fine."

"It's okay."

"Yes, I'm really fine."

Adam did not suspect in the slightest that his mother who made Tari so moping like this, which he knew, his family was a good person who did not see the social status of someone, he said, and that made him sure that his parents would accept Tari as his son-in-law.

Adam grabs the hand of Dance, the hand that always gives him warmth, Dance turns and sees a shady smile in Adam's lips, Adam directs the hand of her baby Dance, and Adam's sweet attitude is always successful in making Dance smile.

"You can tell me if you have a Dance problem, what's wrong."

Dance shook her head, "I'm really fine, I'm just tired."

Adam stroked the top of Dance's head, and laid it down to rest on her shoulders, "Rest baby, my shoulders will always be there for you whenever you need them."

Dance again dripped a strip of clear crystal that she hastily removed, she did not want Adam to see her cry.

Dance had already decided, decided what was best for both of them, a very tough decision for her, but Tari was sure, that was the best for both of them.

Adam stopped his car as soon as he was driven to the entrance to the house of Tari, Tari pulled his head from the shoulder of Adam, since on the way, he had strengthened his mind and heart, he said, and before saying what she was going to say, Dari took a breath and threw it away, and then she said a very heavy sentence to say by her tongue.

"Mas, our relationship is here." When he said that, Dance did not dare to look into Adam's eyes, she lowered her head while twisting her hands.

Adam chuckled in response to Tari's words, "You said what you love, it's not clear, you digress ya." he thought Dari joking.

"I…." Dance tried to hold back her tears, "I'm serious, we just end this relationship, forget me mas, because Adam deserves a woman who is much better than me." 

Adam still digested every word that was spoken by Tari, he still thought that his lover was not serious about ending their relationship.

"Goodbye to Adam." he said and went out.
