The Missing Mentari
He dared to propose to Santi

Dani looks at them with a smile "oh, you think I'm scared?"

"mas.."

"You back off, let me face them"

Santi complied and immediately took a few steps away from the man. While Dani is still facing 7 young men in front of him preparing to attack him.

Dani took a swing to start fighting.

"let's attack him!"

They began to attack Dani from all sides. But their attack was successfully suppressed. Dani alone is able to fight them all by counterattacking.

Santi was silent for a moment. Seeing a serious Dani makes her good looks even more.

BUGH'S..

BUGH'S..

The seven of them began to fall because of Dani's attack. Even though they're going, Dani's body is bigger than theirs. Santi who was looking from a distance could only see with a worried look on his face. He was afraid if Dani lost and began to be attacked by them.

again, the young man fell to the ground.

"how? Want again?"

"t-no.. Thats enough.. Forgive us"

"in that case, don't you dare bother Santi again. If that happens, I'll break all your hands.. Understood?!"

They nodded in fear. And all stood up to escape. Santi is happy and relieved that Dani won against them.

As they ran away, Dani turned to look at Santi and smiled sweetly at him. The worried Santi cried and ran towards him.

"mas Dani's..."

Suddenly his body without him realizing hugged Dani's neck. And then he looked at Santi who was so worried about him.

"you're okay, right?"

"you're not hurt, are you?"

"you-"

Santi was silent because he realized he had done the inappropriate thing to hug a man he did not know close. Even he held Dani's face and hair to check her condition.After knowing her mistake, he retreated a few steps away from Dani.

"why?"

"m-sorry mas.. I'm presumptuous" she said not tasty.

Dani chuckles because Santi's innocent attitude is "nothing.. I'm glad to be noticed like that"

"That's right.."

"don't think about it.. Let's go home"

Santi nodded "eummmhh.."

they also walked back to the house. When they got there, there were some people gathered inside the house. Who else if not Santi's family and Dani's best friend Nathan.

Santi entered his room with a rabbit. Dani is gathered with them.

"what's wrong with Santi nak Dani?"

Pak Ujang felt something strange about his daughter because she usually came home with a cheerful situation. Meanwhile, there was fear and sadness on his face.

Dani breathed a sigh before telling her all.

"this sir, that was.."

Dani began to tell all his chronology from the beginning of the morning when bullied by the young men until they were stopped by them. pak Ujang who heard that was shocked because his daughter again experienced something like that. Nathan was also surprised by what happened.

"but, luckily I came on time so Santi was okay.. And they attacked me earlier, but it's not what's important that your son be safe"

Hearing that, Mr. Ujang felt relieved because someone helped his son during the incident. He looked at Dani and thanked her for the help Dani gave to his son.

"thank you, Dani.. You owe me a debt of gratitude"

"don't take this as a sign of our gratitude for being allowed to stay here.."

Mr. Ujang nodded "yes nak Nathan.. They often annoy Santi. So Santi always come out early so as not to meet them. sometimes you are confused how, the young man will definitely continue to disturb Santi"

The two young men fell silent and looked at each other.

"you don't have to worry, as long as you're here. We won't let that happen to Santi, father, and mother"

"right sir.. Father and family have been kind to us, so we will repay you by keeping your honor"

"thank you, Dani, Nathan's son.. I am so grateful to you both"

Dani and Nathan smiled at Mr. Ujang. Then they continued chatting before Mr. Ujang returned to work.

after a long chat, Mr. Ujang had been ergi because he had to return to work while at home only the two young men lived and also of course Santi who was still confined in his room. On the porch Dani and Nathan talk to each other again. They went back to talking about what Dani was going through.

"And, what would happen if we both leave here and how are Mr. Ujang and family? especially the same Santi, must be that naughty young man bothering him again"

Dani sighed harshly "gue also did not know Than. We don't live here forever either. Especially when we have to go home. Honestly, I was thinking about this"

They went back into silence for a moment thinking of a solution to this problem.

"gue knows.." Nathan said suddenly. Maybe Nathan thinks this way will work to protect Santi and his family.

"what?"

"you'll marry Santi"

"what?!!"

Dani is surprised that Nathan suddenly advises her to marry Santi.

"how? You like Santi too, don't you bro? This is the only way for Santi to always be safe. If you marry her, she'll stay with you and you can take care of her"

Dani was silent thinking of Nathan's words. Actually, there is a point also that Nathan said earlier. But will marrying Santi make things better? If Dani wants to, but how does Santi refuse?

"but if he doesn't want to?"

"it takes effort first.Say that you're serious about Santi. But you really want to marry Santi?"

"if I, honestly would.. But this is too fast"

"Lu must destroy everything Dani.. Our time here is not much. You have to mutuskan in the future, lest you regret"

Dani again sighed "well.. I'll think about it later.. Thanks for your advice"

The day seems to be getting late, while Dani on the terrace is pensive alone while Nathan sleeps inside. he still ringing with Nathan's advice given to him.

"marry Santi.. Should I marry her?" muttered Dani alone.

Then he held his chest. Suddenly his heart skipped a beat as he thought of Santi's name in his brain. It was true, he had already started to fall in love with that village girl. But to marry her honestly Dani is still worried about her own decision.

"what to do?!!"

But his memory was again seen when Santi was almost harassed by the young men. And that made him angry because they dared to touch him. If he wasn't the one guarding, who else would be looking after Santi. this time, Dani started to believe in himself. In addition to loving her, she also wants to take care of her whole heart.

"well okay.. I'll marry her soon.."

***

the night came..

mr. Ujang has also returned to his home because he finished his work. Dani saw that Mr. Ujang had come home, ventured to face him.

Mr. Ujang was ready to listen to Dani's conversation. There Dani expressed all her feelings and immediately proposed to Santi in front of Pak Ujang and Bu Narmi. Nathan smiled at the courage of Dani who immediately proposed to Santi without thinking anymore.

"what? You want to marry our daughter?" ask Mr. Ujang sir.

"yes sir.. I want to take care of him. Because I'm sure, with Santi with me, he'll feel safe"

Pak Ujang was silent for a moment while looking at Dani seriously.

"did you marry my daughter just to take care of her?"

"not really sir.. From the beginning, I loved my daughter. And slowly, my love for Santi began to grow, so before we leave here, I want to marry Santi first" said Dani honestly and firmly.

hearing that, Mr. Ujang and Bu Narmi again fell silent and looked at each other. Dani began to tense because he was afraid if his proposal was rejected by both. However, he must marry Santi. He does not want to regret because Santi is his first love. So he must have it first before it is owned by someone else.
