Jhon stood on the balcony in his room. His hand clasped a cigarette and slowly smoked it. Jhon smiled as he recalled his meeting with Mentari earlier this afternoon. His heart was really very happy, after five years of not meeting, he was finally reunited with the woman, the woman he loved so much.
Staring at the star-filled sky, this evening felt so beautiful for Jhon, the man who had found his love again. Even her sweet smile always adorned her handsome face. Although Mentari's attitude is very different from the past, Jhon did not think about it. What he is thinking about right now is how his relationship with Mentari can be like it used to be.
Jhon immediately turned off a cigarette as he recalled Mentari's remark that Mentari did not know him at all. Jhon stroked his handsome face, now he needed a glass to reflect and see if the level of good looks was getting reduced so that Mentari could not recognize him? Or maybe the level of good looks is increasing and makes Mentari difficult to recognize himself.
The more thought makes Jhon must find a glass to reflect. Jhon immediately put both of his feet into his room. Jhon walked towards the large mirror attached to the wall of his room, he really could not wait to look more carefully at his face which he thought was still handsome and charming.
Jhon stopped his footsteps when he was in front of the mirror, Jhon slowly brought his face closer to the mirror, he stroked his face which still looks the same as five years ago. "It hasn't changed at all. But why doesn't Mentari recognize me? Was he just pretending? Ah no way, there was no lie from the gaze of his two eyeballs. Then why doesn't he recognize me?" Jhon wondered alone his eyes were still staring at his face from behind the mirror.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
The sound of knocking on the door he did not mind, Jhon still felt very curious and also confused why Mentari did not recognize him at all? Is there something wrong with both eyes? Ah impossible, Jhon did not see any change from the look of the eye, then what exactly makes Mentari can forget it?
"Jhon, I thought you were asleep." Mama Celine's words suddenly made Jhon tiptoed in shock.
"Gosh, mah. Mama why did it suddenly appear, anyway." Gerrutu Jhon while stroking his chest.
"Some of you, mama knocked on the door from earlier, you were busy looking like a girl." Said the mother while looking at her son.
"Mama.... " Jhon's words were stuck in the throat when Mama Celine opened her mouth again.
"Papa mama just eat first, I'm still not hungry, mah."
"Can't, Jhon. You have to eat now, and there's someone you want to ask." Firmly mama Celine makes Jhon can not refuse it.
"What do you want to ask?" Ask Jhon while looking at his curious mother.
"Later after eating malan is done, mama will ask you, so we should go down first now." Said the mother as she put her feet out of her son's room. "Wait what else, Jhon? Let's sneak out." mama Celine sat on her side while looking at her son who was still standing in his place.
Jhon sighed and then he stepped both feet following the mother out of his room.

After dinner, Celine's mom invited Jhon to sit on the couch. Mama Celine was seen sighing heavily, she looked at her only son then said. "What is true of your father, John? You want to cancel your marriage to Lisa?"
"Yes, mah. I want to cancel my marriage to Lisa. Mama knew I had to get engaged to Lisa. And mama must be the reason why I want to get engaged to Lisa, right? So I hope this time you understand how I feel. I don't like Lisa at all, mah." Firmly Jhon while looking closely at the face of the mother.
Mama Celine again breathed her heavy breath, it seemed like she indeed had to give up and no longer force her will which would make her own son depressed. "All right, it's up to you, Jhon. But if you want to cancel this wedding, Mama has one condition for you." Said the mother looks so serious make Jhon curious on what conditions will be given by his mother.
Seriate.
