The White Heart Jasmine

Chapter 97 - To Sunny TV

Just as Melati finished working on the month-end report, there was a call coming in on her HP. From Krista. Krista?

I quickly got the call.

"Hello, Miss Krista. How are you?" hello Melati cheerful. He rarely communicates with Krista. It is usually via social media.

"Very good, Mel. You how are you?" Krista asked back. Krista's voice sounded crisp.

"That, deh. Busy," said Melati while smiling loosely.

"Bikin single is the same as take care of House Garuda, yes." said Krista.

"Yes, Mommy." Melati smile.

"You're great, Mel. Your future husband does know how to make your dreams come true." Krista complimented sincerely.

"Yes, Mother. Elvan has a big vision. And he worked hard for it" Melati said.

"Mel, Sunny TV is interested in what you and Elvan are doing. We would like to invite Rumah Garuda to be a guest on Sandy Talk Show." Krista explains her purpose in calling Melati.

"How, Ma'am?" ask Melati. He wanted to make sure he didn't hear wrong.

"Mel, this Garuda House is something great lo. Not many young people have minds and hearts like you and Elvan. You may not notice that the impact has expanded. So Sunny TV wants to introduce Garuda House to the whole community, so that it becomes an inspiration for more people" explained Krista.

"This is serious, Ma'am?" jasmine asked in disbelief.

"You think I'd joke about something like this, Mel?" ask Krista back.

"Sorry, Ma'am. That's not what I meant. It just doesn't feel like believing, Mom. Invited to Sandy Talk Show. Dreams are not, Ma'am," said Melati.

"Yes..." Krista laughs. Krista continued, "You remember what I said, you'll have a chance to show me who you are?"

"Yes, remember. That was the night Ma'am asked me to replace Sicily" said Melati.

"It turned out that night, so the first night you showed your qualities. And now open up one more chance, not just you. You brought a lot of other kids too. You're more than I thought, Mel."

"Honestly, don't think, Mom."

"Alright, you talk to Elvan first. We'll let us know later and we'll arrange a time for you to come to Jakarta" Krista concluded.

"Ready, Ma'am. I'll be calling again soon. Thank you very much for this opportunity" said Melati. Phone's done.

Jasmine soars in excitement. Don't believe the taste. To Jakarta with Elvan and the kids. Geez... What dream last night could this news be?!!

Melati called Elvan immediately.

"Hello, Mel. Is anything important?" Elvan Voice.

"Sorry, you're busy?" Melati asked.

"Want to meet someone soon. Make a pact," answered Elvan.

"Mother Krista called."

"Mother Krista?"

"Sunny TV."

"Sunny TV?"

"The house of Garuda was invited as a guest at the Sandy Talk Show."

"Mel.. ga kidding, right?"

"I don't believe this either."

"Wowws... Okay. Deal, it's a good opportunity. We can go next month."

"OKAY. I'm telling Miss Krista, yeah..."

Phone's done. Jasmine changes Krista's contacts and agrees time for the kids to come to Sunny TV.

Afternoon after work, Melati and Elvan to Garuda House. They're telling you this news. The children jumped up, hugged, cried, and all sorts of reactions.

"Just, I can't take all of them, yeah, I'll select representatives from each team. Three from the music team, three from the vocal team, and five from the dance team. To coach two people, me, and Kak Melati," explained Elvan.

"Well, for thanksgiving together.... Next Saturday we'll take a walk to the beach!" elvan. The children were also cheering. Everyone was happy with the news.

The number of children studying at Rumah Garuda continues to grow. Nearly 50 children are now studying. Not surprisingly, it can also be fast development.

They all had picnics to the beach. They were so happy and happy. Play in the water, make sand castles, sunbathe, or just sit on the beach. All day long they play until they are satisfied.

The future times may rarely be able to play with gini. While there is still a chance, so Elvan invites them to have fun.

And the following week on the sidelines of wedding preparations, Melati and Elvan meet the invitation present on the Sandy Talk Show. Sandy still remembers Melati. She was happy to see Melati again.

"Hi, Apprentice Child.who would have thought you were a guest star today!" exclaim Sandy happy. "Where is the great man who made you shine?"

"Hello. I'm Elvan." Elvan greets and greets Sandy.

"Wow.. charming. Welcome, yes.. Let's set it up for later in the afternoon" Sandy said.

They also got direction from Krista along with the rest of the crew, like what and what segments in the show later. Set up with the kids too. What they want to show and so on.

The kids are pretty tense. But a relaxed TV crew made the kids calmer. When the show was about to start, Melati saw Sicily coming. The face of Sicily looks unfriendly. And he's still a singer on the show.

"Hi, Ma'am. How are you?" greet Melati. He smiled and extended his hand.

"Hey. That's it. Sorry, I'm almost late." Sicily shook Melati's hand in lightning and quickly went to meet the music team.

"Look easy. Sicily is still as it used to be, ketus," said Krista who saw it.

Melati looked at Krista. "You just get ready. Two more minutes to go," Krista continued.

"Yes, Mommy." Melati. He approached Elvan and the children, waiting for the moment he would be called to the stage.

That night, it became a historic night for the House of Garuda. They introduced a training center, a youth forum to work in the art of music and song. No matter the back screen they were put together in singing, dancing, and music.

The studio is so good tonight. Because the invited children told me about their origin. How they can be in the Garuda House. Their sad stories were revealed, but wrapped happily because they now have a new family at the Kasih Lidya Foundation and Garuda House. Lira told me, Anton told me, Bondan told me.

Many tears trickled down seeing the struggles of the children surviving amid the hardships of life they faced. It was inconceivable that such a small child would have to repeatedly swallow a bitter pill that did not cure him, but instead poisoned their lives.

"I'm happy to live in a dorm. Many brothers. And you can learn a lot of things too. I used to cry every day, scared, but now I laugh. Hee.." said Anton.

"If Bondan, what do you want now?" ask Sandy to Bondan.

Bondan looks at Melati. Melati rubbed her head with a pity. He whispers something in Bondan's ear, say anything.

"I.. want to see Mom." said Bondan slowly. Melati was surprised, it turns out Bondan still thinks of her mother who more than three years never appeared. Elvan was also somewhat shocked by Bondan's words.

"Me and Dad are fine. I don't know.. Where is my mother." she said. Heart Melati explodes. A child, however, must want the complete affection of his father and mother.

"Hmmm... Bondans..." Sandy stared at the day at the 10-year-old. I think he wanted to cry to hear Bondan talk. "Mother Bondan, anywhere you see Bondan, go home, Mom... Bondan misses Mother..." Sandy looked at the camera. His heart was a little bitter at the longing of the little boy.

The audience present was also overwhelmed. Some of them shed tears. They had heard the stories of each of the children present. That's just part of the story. There are many other children who also have their own life stories. But now the children are convinced that their tomorrow is not as bright as the days they have gone through.

"Okay...in closing, we will be entertained by this pair of amazing lovebirds. Elvan and Melati, who will soon formalize the relationship, yes.. May all be well and happy ever after..." Sandy stands. "Let's welcome Elvan and Melati... Always in my Heart..."

Melati and Elvan stood up. Accompanied by the shahdu music played by the children, they sang the second single Melati, Elvan song for Melati.

While singing Elvan remembers she was once jealous of Rainer for dueting with Melati on Sunny TV back then. Now he is standing by Melati's side, singing with her beloved girl, bringing her own song. It's not awkward Elvan's holding Melati's hand. Melati greeted him with the sweetest smile.

From afar, Krista, Daniel, Harsa and the Sunny TV crew look proud and satisfied. They are happy to see Melati who was once only an apprentice, but can now be present as a special guest at this event.
