The Missing Mentari
dani's Decision

Rida is very surprised to hear Dani's statement stating that he will leave this house for the sake of his wife. Dani has really changed. Rida growled angrily at the child, her hands clenching with emotion.

"are you sure Dani? You want to leave this house because of her?!"

"it's better than constantly listening to the quarrels and torture of my wife.."

Milly who was still there was also surprised to hear Dani's decision.

"mas Dani, please don't be like that.. Poor Aunt"

"then my wife how's Milly? Am I going to let you torture her again? Huh?!!"

Dani was really fed up with his mother's treatment of his wife. Maybe if he chose to split the house, maybe it would be better.

"from tomorrow, I won't be staying here anymore." Dani told her mother.

Rida wears her smile as a sign of challenging her own son.

"where do you have the money house? Everything you get is thanks to your parents.. If you leave here, all your assets and positions now, this second you will also take all! Mama will not let the girl enjoy the family treasure of mama.. Can you live without money?!!"

Dani stared at his mother no less sharply "mama challenged me? I'm not like a treasure-crazed mama.. If you confiscate all my assets, it doesn't matter. I don't care about any of that! All I care about is my wife's safety right now" Dani said.

Again Rida was angered to hear his son's reply that challenged him. Dani would never answer if she was angry. This time, however, Dani rebelled.

"please.. If you want to get out of here!! Bring all your stuff, and that girl from this house!! Mama doesn't want to be in touch with you anymore!!" rida's Snatch on Dani.

"and from today on, you don't have to go to the office. Because your job is going to give to someone else!"

Herman, who is Papa Dani, has just entered his house because he has missed the goods so he has to go home. But again he heard the voice of his wife's screams from the direction of the living room. And coming closer he saw Rida fighting with Dani.

"what's this noisiness again?! You guys are adults always worrying about unnecessary things! And again mama, what the fuck are you recklessly deciding one-sided like that!"

Rida who had just seen her husband come home, immediately looked at him sharply. She was also upset that her husband had always defended Dani.

"you why the hell?! Always defend your son! He has dared to fight me.. Papa should be angry that he's not even defending her!" rida shouted at her husband.

Herman who still did not know the problem he also looked at Dani with a serious face.

"you why Dani? why do you want to get out of the house and get out of your office?"

Dani breathed her heavy "papa.. I'm sorry, maybe I let you guys down as a kid. But pa.. Was my action wrong? I'm now a husband"

"did papa know? My wife was only left for a few hours and was treated badly by both of them. He was locked up in a barn and his feet were hit by broken glass until he could not walk. My heart aches when my wife is treated like that" Dani said with a deeply disappointed face.

Herman rolled his eyes at his son's statement. He stared intently at his wife and Milly in front of him.

"is that right ma? Answer!"

Rida stutters when asked like that by her husband "i-iiya.. Because mama's mad she's already broken my mama's favorite Gucci.."

Herman did not stop thinking about his wife's thoughts. His head was so dizzy that he massaged his own head.

"eat it pa, I'd better move house from here so my wife is safe and comfortable. I don't want my wife to be hurt by my mom.."

"i am a child and have to obey my parents, but I am also the head of the household. It's my job to protect my wife.. I promised both of his parents to protect him here. I also don't want to disappoint my two in-laws who are far away" Dani said firmly.

Herman was silent for a moment thinking about Dani's decision. Dani's decision was very hasty because he still had the remaining responsibilities to be completed in the office. But on the one hand he feels proud because his son has grown into a real man who defends his wife in front of his own family.

Herman smiled and patted Dani gently on the shoulder "you're angry, discuss with your wife first. Papa allows you to move house"

Dani smiled faintly at the answer from her papa.

"before that, make sure everything is done. When you're done, you can choose your own life"

"good pa.. But, before that.."

Dani issued several cards which were an asset that had accompanied him. There he took out some bank cards that kept his money there.

"this is me give it back.. Mama told me to return all my assets, and I agreed.. Today I'll try to finish all my work"

"i have to get back to the office.. I'll take Santi with me. I'm afraid that if he's here he'll be treated badly by you guys again" he said flatly.

Then he left those who were with him. Likewise with Herman who headed to his study room to pick up his lost goods.

***

Dani opened the door to his room and saw that his wife had woken up from her sleep.

"are you awake, baby?"

"did you.."

Dani approaches Santi and sits on the edge of the mattress.

"goldie's going to the office again.. You're coming with yuk" Dani asked.

Santi was confused by her husband's words "what are you doing?"

Dani with a sad face, he cupped into his wife's fingers.

"mas will never leave you again.. Remember the promise? They will always protect you.. I won't let something bad like this happen to you again.. That's why you better go with the mas ya" he said gently.

"but what should I do? I don't know"

"don't have to do anything.. You just sit around waiting for me to finish work.. Come on, I'll help you"

Not wanting to ask again, she simply nodded obediently to her husband's words. After that, Dani carried his wife's body and led her down. For the wheelchair he put it in the car, so Dani had to carry his wife to the car.

While below, Rida sees the scenery that she really hates, namely the harmony of Dani and Santi the daughter-in-law. Rida assumes that Santi has captured her son's heart and incites him to hate her.

the hateful look was apparently known to Dani. He just passed his mother without greeting her. Initially Dani also handed over the car keys because it was an asset given both parents. However, his father forbade and still allowed Dani to use the vehicle.

"are you better off?"

"it's already the case.."

"yes, we go to the office first.."

Dani started the engine of his car, and left the yard of his house. On the road, he was silent and focused on driving. He has not spoken at all about his decision to leave the house with his wife.

"the one.. There's something I want to talk to you about"

"what's that?"

"we're talking after I'm done meeting ya.."

"alright.."
