THE SACRED LOVE OF MENTARI

APPLYING FOR DANCE

"Yes pa, what's wrong." Luke receives a call from his father.

"Luke, tomorrow you go to Bali with Dance." asked papa Sebastian from across.

"So dad, Luke's going to propose to Dance there, I'm going to make an impressive proposal, I want Tari to never forget that." Luke tells his plans to the same papa.

"Mmmm, Luke." papa Sebastian sounded hesitant to say what he wanted to say.

"Why pa, there's something you want to say."

"Luke, before you marry Tari, you better tell her about what happened in the past, a relationship that should not be built on Luke's lies, because it will destroy your relationship." papa Sebastian said what he had been thinking, he wanted his son to tell Tari what happened in the past so that it would not matter later.

Luke seemed to sigh heavily, in his heart he confirmed his father's words, instead of him never thinking about it, sometimes the intention to tell about what happened in the past came to his mind, but imagining that Tari left her when she chose to be honest by telling Tari about what happened in the past scared her, afraid that Tari would leave her, even worse, he was afraid that Dance would hate him and would no longer want to know him, Luke loved Dance very much, he did not want to lose Dance, Luke already loved Dance so deeply, Luke knew, Luke knew, from the beginning he should not love Dance, should from the beginning he extinguish the sparks of love that began to burn in his heart, but what he did was instead let it grow so that it was difficult to extinguish like this.

"Yes, Luke will tell Tari all this, papa right, Luke should not build a relationship on the basis of lies, because it will be a boomerang later, but what if Tari leaves Luke pa, Luke doesn't want that to happen." Luke shared his concerns with his father.

"Luke, you're a man, you have to take risks, son, Tari will be very angry to know you're the mastermind behind the events that took her husband's life in the past, that's perfectly natural Luke, but, uh, from what you can see, that dance isn't the vengeful type, papa is sure she'll forgive you, let alone love you so much." papa Sebastian tried to encourage his son.

"Thank you pa, papa is always there for Luke and makes Luke calm."

"Together with my son, whenever you need, you can always count on this papa of yours."

"Thank you papa."

"You are now fully grown Luke, papa never thought the events of that night would turn you into this figure."

"Luke also never thought, Luke had to lose someone's life before Luke could be like this."

"It's Luke, it's over, don't you ever remember it again okay, think about your future with the woman you love, make Dance happy with you."

"Yes pa, papa's right, Luke promised to make Dance happy."

After chatting for a while with his papa, Lukas ended his conversation with his papa on the phone.

Luke leaned back on his chair, making it a pedestal for a while.

"Ciee who's going to Bali ciee tomorrow morning." Laura teases Tari, "Definitely very exciting in Bali, can go for a walk, go to romantic places both, aih aih, kok me who became a baper ya."

Tonight, Laura deliberately came to her best friend's house to help Tari pack her things into a suitcase because her plan was to be in Bali for 5 days.

"What sieh Ra, this is in order to travel business, not for the streets."

"Whatever it is, it would be nice to go with the man we love Ra."

"Yes, you're right Ra."

"I'm happy Ra, it turns out that his family and Luke accepted me."

"Not all rich people like your former in-laws are Dance, many rich people are good and do not look at someone's social status, one example is Luke's parents."

"Yes Ra, I am so grateful for that, I was afraid, I was afraid that my mother Luke would not accept me, but I was wrong, Luke's parents accepted me with open arms, they were very nice to me."

"I'm happy to dance, I can't wait for your wedding invitation."

"Ra, you will be my escort."

"Okay, with great pleasure."

The two girls embrace each other.

"Finally, Ra, after all this time, you can find your happiness again."

Dance nodded.

"You're Ra too, so at home you're hanging out, find a boyfriend donk."

Laura chuckled, "You take it easy Dance, after you get married later, I will definitely follow, you just wait for an invitation from me."

"Be careful if you're lying."

"Yes, I'm not lying." she cheated.

"Oh yeah, by the way, a gift for me don't forget ya."

"Presents."

*****

The plan is Lukas and Tari will travel business for 5 days, business trip sieh only 3 days, two days they use to enjoy the beauty of the city of Bali by walking around exploring every corner of Bali.

As they are currently doing, enjoying the beautiful beach in the afternoon while waiting for the sun to sink, the couple sat on the beach accompanied by the sound of soothing waves, Tari spread her head on Luke's shoulders, and the two lovers sat on the beach, the hands of the two men are linked to each other.

Luke kissed the top of the head of the Dance with affection, for him, spending time alone with the woman he loved became a very happy thing for him.

"I want to always be like this baby, always be with you and spend time together."

"Me too, I've always wanted to be by your side."

"I love you so much Dance, I don't want to lose you."

"I love you, too, though you're not my first, but I want to spend the rest of my life with you until we're old."

"I promise I'll always make you happy Dance."

"I know you."

"Dance."

"Yes, um."

"If I make a mistake, will you forgive me."

"Of course." answered Dance without thinking.

"If my mistake is so great, will you still forgive me and stay with me."

Dance pulled her head from Luke's shoulder, looking at her lover in confusion, "Did Luke make a big mistake."

Luke seems misbehaved with the question of Dance, but he tries to cover it up, "Of course it's not a pity, this would be, if one day I make a big mistake that is very difficult to forgive, are you going to stay with me and not leave me."

"I...."

Luke waited for Dance's answer with a feeling of wastiness.

"I will forgive you, of course." Tari said that only because she did not know what mistake Luke had made.

On the other hand, Luke was very relieved to hear Dance's reply, he pointed the hand of Dance that was currently in his grasp to his lips.

"I love you dance, promise me you won't leave me no matter what."

"Love you to mas, I won't leave you, no matter what happens." Dance promised.

Luke is happy to hear Dance's answer, and he becomes convinced to tell her what he did to her.

"Look, the sun's sinking." Dance pointed to the sun which was now slowly entering into her contest.

"It's so beautiful." looked at the scene in amazement.

"You're so much more beautiful, dear."

"Gombal." muttered Tari with a red met face, in her heart she was very flowery.

"Who is a sieh, to me you are the most beautiful sight in the world My Ment."

Dance crammed her body into Luke's arms, and hid her face in Luke's chest, vowing she felt so ashamed, "Ohh this Luke, always makes me ashamed like this."

Luke chuckled, "It's so scary for you."

For a long time, they sit with each other's hands on the beach, because moments like this are very rare given their busy work.

Ting

Kegs

Dari heard the sound of her room bell being squeezed, when she opened the door, she found no one behind the door.

"Who's a bitch, what a prank."

As Tari was about to turn to her room, she saw a box of pink underneath her, Tari frowned, wondering in her heart who put the thing in her room.

Dance grabbed the box and took it into her room, she then placed it over the hotel bed before opening it, it turned out that the box contained a folded dress, on top of the dress was a folded piece of paper, Dance grabbed it, opened it, and read the contents.

I'm sure, you'll definitely be very pretty wearing this dress dear, wear this dress yes when we have dinner

Luke

Dance smiled broadly when she found out that the dress was a gift from her lover, she and Luke had indeed made a pact to have dinner together.

Dari grabbed the dress and stretched it out in front of her eyes, her eyes sparkling knowing that the light blue dress was so very beautiful, Dari ran to the front of the makeup mirror in the hotel, she pegged herself with the dress on her body, Dance smiled, "It sure looks pretty when I wear it later."

An hour later, when Tari was scavenging lipstick in front of the mirror, she again heard the bell sound of her room being squeezed, Tari was sure it was Luke.

"Yes wait a minute." he shouted.

Dari then put on her heels, grabbed her little bag she had on the bed and ran towards the door.

Dari smiled widely when she found her lover standing in front of the door of her room, the man who is now her lover is very handsome with his white shirt rolled up to his elbow.

"Hey baby, you're so very pretty." praise Luke who makes Dance's smile wider, "You're the most beautiful woman I've ever met after my mama's Dance."

"You can always make me blush."

Luke thrust out his palm which was then grasped by Tari.

"Dear we're leaving."

Dari aghuk, moments together with Luke is a very happy thing for him, Dari thought, only Adam can make him happy, but Dance wrong, it turns out after the departure of Adam, Adam, there is someone who can replace the figure of Adam in his heart, the man is Lukas Pangestu, a man who was previously not thought by Tari can stop in his heart because Luke is his superior.

When they got out of the hotel, a car was parked in front, and a man approached Lukas.

"Good night, Mr. Luke, miss...."

"So, my future wife's name is Mentari." Lukas.

"Yes Miss Mentari, I am Anto, faithful at all times to deliver wherever you are going." a man named Anto who turns out to be a driver who will drive them to the destination to introduce himself.

"Thank you, Mr. Anto."

"Please sir, miss." Anto opens the car door for Dance and Luke.

****

The car driven by Lukas and Tari stopped at a restaurant, when entering the restaurant, the restaurant looked quiet, there were no visitors there, it made Dari feel strange.

Luke pulls out a chair for Dance, "Dear one is sitting."

"Hmm." Dance sat and still looked around her.

"What's the matter, dear."

"Mas Lukas, why is this restaurant quiet huh why is there only us who eat here."

"If you ask me, obviously I don't know dear." he replied lying, but he deliberately booked the restaurant just to propose to Tari.

"So weird, yes, this restaurant looks luxurious and classy, but it's quiet gini."

"Dear, you don't have to think about it, we're guilty of eating."

"Hmm."

And two servants, coming to their table, each carrying a dish in their hands, the servant smiled meaningfully as he placed a cake in front of Dance and Luke.

The dance was more surprising, because they had not ordered at all and the waiter had brought dishes for them.

"Luke, I tell you I haven't ordered yet, why did the servants bring us these cookies." Dance voiced her astonishment.

"Maybe this is an introductory meal from their restaurant times." while saying that Luke smiled meaningfully.

And Dari was not suspicious at all.

"Look for a meal." invite Luke who has started to direct the spoon containing the cake to his mouth.

Dance did the same as Luke did.

"Enak the cake."

"You like it."

"It's great." he said enthusiastically and devoured the cake, but then, Tari felt something strange in her mouth, something hard and cold in her tongue, Dance directed her hand to grab the object and pulled it out.

"This is what." Dance noticed the object that turned out to be a white gold ring decorated with diamonds on it.

Lukas smiles because his plan to give Dance a surprise works.

"This one...."

Luke grabbed the hand of Dance lying on the table, "Montar Whardhani, will you marry me, stand by me and be the mothers of my children."

Dance looked at Luke and the ring in her hand alternately, "So this.." Dance's eyes glazed over.

Lukas nodded, "Dear, I purposely booked this place to propose to you, and had the waiter put the ring on the cake you ate, how, were you impressed."

Dance nodded, her tears were now flowing, tears were happy.

"So, what is the answer to my proposal Tari." asked Luke hoping that Tari would answer yes to his question.

Dance did not answer immediately, she was silent for a while, she tried to calm her feelings full of joy, she never expected Luke would propose to her in such a romantic way.

"I don't accept the rejection of Tari" Lukas said when he saw the girl he was applying for did not answer.

Dari smiled wryly, before she nodded, she was unable to speak her happy words.

"So the question of my answer is yes" Lukas concluded nodding Tari.

"Yes, I want to marry you, be with you, be the mother of your children, and spend the rest of my life with you." Dance clarify.

"That's a dance."

"Yes, um."

Luke took the ring in Tari's hand, and pinned it on Tari's sweet day, the ring was so beautiful and fittingly pinned on it.

Dancing was very moved, he came back crying, this was the second time he was stuck in a very beautiful ring, the ring that Adam had worn in his old days is now neatly stored on the table in his home.

Luke kissed the back of Dance's hand with affection.

After putting the ring on, Luke stood up and walked over to the Dance sitting opposite him, Dance also stood up when she saw Luke approaching her, the two people hugging each other in happiness.

"Thank you Dance, thank you for accepting me, I'm so happy tonight."

"I'm also happy Luke, I'm so happy."

It was a very happy night for both of them.

*****

They had now returned to the hotel, they both stood between the rooms they occupied each because it happened that the rooms they took faced each other.

They seemed heavy to part with hands clinging to each other.

"I don't think I'm parting ways with you, Tari, let me sleep in your room tonight."

But Luke's desire was strongly opposed by Tari.

"Luke do not be strange, I tell you it is not yet valid." said before they had slept together before, but they were solemn at that time.

"Hamm, well if you don't allow it, what can you do." said Luke feigned disappointment which made Dari chuckle.

"Mas must hold yes, soon we will get married, when Luke was free to do it."

"I can't wait for that time to come" she pulled up Tari's body and carried her in her arms.

"Please, someone will see."

"Let's go, we're not my future wife."

"Just be a mas candidate, not yet a real wife."

Luke hugged Tari.

"Mas Luke, leonard."

"Don't dance, I miss."

"Kangen how sieh means mas Lukas, even though all day we spend time together you know."

"That's not enough dance."

"Luke's father is just there."

Because Luke still has not let go of his embrace, forced for a moment Dance let Luke embrace him.

"Mas Luke, until when Luke will embrace me like this, Luke will not let me sleep."

Then Luke let go of his embrace, "Sleep the same way I want."

Dance pinching Luke's waist.

"Awahhh, sick dear." Luke complaining.

"Luke was so bad."

"Yes yes Lukas, I went in first."

As the Dance turns, Luke pulls the arm of the Dance that makes the body of the Dance turn back towards her, "Sun used to be dear." Luke pointed his index finger at his cheek.

"All right."

In order for Luke to let her in calmly, Dance does as Luke asks, Dance approaches and kisses Luke on the cheek.

"Bye to Luke."

"Bye Mentor."

Dari loved it when Lukas called her Mentari.
