Dara Manisku
Hiding behind a veil

Ihsan did a tactic to make Dara free from the stalker.

“ How Axel, you understand what I mean?” Ihsan explained his plan to Axel.

“Iya ..I understand..now I'm leaving!” Axel was ready to execute Ihsan's plan.

Axel gets ready while muttering, “ ga understand why Ihsan to make an escape plan like this, like in action movies only!”

"ah..but it is, I do not care , the important Dara survived”.Axel spoke to himself while riding his motorcycle.

“I've been in the parking lot of Ihsan!” Axel gave the info via chat.

“OK good, if I'm in the car, you go first with Dara, let the stalker follow my car". Ihsan.

“I'm ready Ihsan”, Dara has changed clothes with Bu Leni and Bu Leni wearing Dara clothes.

“Good, now you wear a mask and do not talk , ssssttt just shut up, you understand Dara?” Ihsan explained the plan, then Bu Leni sat in a wheelchair and Ihsan pushed her.

“ Bu Leni also can not sound out, and wear the mask, I just sit down!” Ihsan explained to Bu Leni.

“Ready Commander!” Answer Ms. Leni.

“What is really going on Ihsan? I want to do this, because I believe in you, but... I'm afraid, what's the matter exactly?” Dara whispered with Ihsan.

“Just follow my commando yes, later in the parking lot there is Axel, you do not go home with me, but the same Axel, okay....you believe me right?” Ihsan made sure again that Dara understood.

Ihsan did not want to explain to Dara what the reason was for her to make such a plan.

Dara was finally able to get out of the hospital without being followed by a stalker, Dara was actually less comfortable riding a motorcycle with Axel.

Dara was on the beach where Axel once invited Dara.

“Why do you remember this beach?” axel asked, hoping that Dara would still have a little memory with him.

“It's a beach, keep..What's up with his beach?” Dara does not understand what Axel means to bring Dara to the beach.

“We've been here with Dara, don't you remember?”   Axel tries to make Dara remember those memories.

“Do you know my bitter life story Axel?” Dara looked towards the vast sea.

“said Ihsan you don't know anything about who I used to be". Dara.

“Iya..you never want to open to me Dara, but that does not mean we are not close to you!” Axel.

Axel explained and told Dara how Dara's first meeting with Axel at that time.

“Thank you...that's all I can tell you right now Axel!” Dara answers Axel after hearing his story that once almost committed suicide in an empty building.

 “ But please,. can you accept what I am now? I'm not the Dara you used to know.I can no longer behave like I used to.because I...is the me now!” Dara Obviously.

The beach breeze blew on Dara's face and veil, Axel who stood beside her looked at her with teary eyes.

“I'm sorry ..if I've forced you to recognize me, sorry!” But give me a chance, Dara, let me recognize Dara now".  Axel extended his hand.

“ introduce my name Axel, can I be friends with you?” Axel introduced himself as if it was his first introduction.

Dara stared at Axel's hand waiting to shake hands with him.

“Good... I'm Dara...happy to be friends with you!” Dara answered while shaking hands with Axel.

Axel smiled with relief, although Dara did not remember it yet, the important thing is now that Dara is no longer afraid to see Axel.

They were sitting together while looking at the sun that was starting to set that afternoon.

Ihsan was waiting at his apartment, “where are they, why haven't they come yet?” Ihsan was waiting for Dara's presence.

It was dark, but Axel and Dara had not yet arrived.

“Do I call Axel, are they okay?, Ihsan hesitates to call Axel worried about disturbing them both, but Ihsan's concern keeps him from calling Axel.

“Hmmm... rang but not picked up, aah.maybe on the way here, I should be more patient waiting, May Allah protect them, aamiin!” Ihsan tried to convince herself to calm down.

Before long, his apartment bell rang. “ Well...that must be them!” Ihsan hurried to open the door.

“Assalamualaikum... !”  Dara said hello when the 304 door opened.

“Alhamdulilah.wa'alaikumsalam..ya Allah why so long ago, I got worried earlier, let's go in.ayo Axel please come in!” Ihsan was very excited to welcome Dara to her apartment.

“Wah ...your house is big and ..hmmm... it's really convenient!” Dara praised Ihsan's apartment, and enjoyed it so much that Dara went around.

“ Hey..emang this ball court, hahaha!” Axel laughed at Dara's behavior.

“ Let..... wweyyy!” Dara stuck out her tongue jokingly with Axel casually.

Ihsan was astonished to see that Dara had started to get along with Axel.

"since when are you guys familiar, you've been no longer afraid of Axel, Dara?” Ihsan asked.

“Ooooh .. it...we are friends again from the beginning, can I sit ?” Dara answered Ihsan while jumping onto the Sofa.” This must be an expensive sofa!”

Axel smiled at Dara's behavior,

“Hahaha...it's okay...want to drink what? Let me get you !” Ihsan laughed and offered them a drink.

“I'm milk chocolate with ice cubes!” Answer Dara relax. “I'm a cool soda only!” Answer Axel.

“ Okay .. ready to transfer ..!” Ihsan replied while opening the refrigerator.

Dara stood up and saw the night view from the apartment window, “ waah...darkly flickering..like stars, I love stars!” Dara commented on the beauty of the city lights that look far away like stars.

Axel heard Dara's words and remembered Dara had said it, a long time ago when they saw a star on the beach. ‘Does he remember that?” thought Axel while looking at Dara.

In a different house Bu Leni called Ihsan, “ Hello Ihsan, the stalker man has left, you are calm if he dares to sort out the villagers here will not stay silent!”

“ Thank you very much Bu Leni, I am sure that person must be kapok!” Ihsan was relieved that his plan had succeeded.

“What's up? Telephone from whom?” ask Dara curiously.

“ call from Bu Leni, the stalker has run away scared because he wants to be in the village where Bu Leni lives, rasain, hahaha!”

Ihsan answered and laughed at the thought that the man had run away.

“Stalker? Who said you were following us in the hospital?!” Tanya Dara was worried.

“H already ..don't think about Dara, drink her milk tuh!, if melted ice cubes it doesn't taste milk”. Axel felt Dara didn't need to know too much about the stalker.

“ Yes .. You should drink the milk and stop worrying okay, you are safe here". Ihsan sat in front of Dara and thrust out a cold glass filled with chocolate milk.

“Thank” Dara also according.

Ihsan gave the code to Axel intending to talk about something without Dara knowing.

“ what's up?” whisper Axel. “here a minute!” Ihsan asked Axel to follow him.

“For a moment yes..I want to prepare dinner first with Axel” Ihsan leave Dara to the kitchen. Axel followed behind.

“Ssssssttt..don't let Dara know, the person who was following us in the hospital, I recognize him" Ihsan whispered to Axel.

“Who?” Axel was curious.

“it was Dara's ex-husband".Ihsan replied.

Axel with surprised face reflexively shouted, “ Husband!!!”

“Sssssssstttt..don't be hard-hard. Yes, it's Dara's husband who is a drunk and a supplier of illegal drugs!” Ihsan told Axel not to make a loud noise he was afraid of Dara hearing.

“Jadi ...Dara already has a husband?” Axel was completely shocked and almost in disbelief.

“I'm like this, let you be careful Axel, because like him he always watches over your cafe! She knows that Dara used to work at your cafe!” Ihsan.

Ihsan was forced to tell about Dara's husband, because Ihsan was sure that the person would definitely keep watching Axel and try to find out about Dara's whereabouts.

“Oh ...well I'll be more careful again!” Axel nodded in understanding.

“So..from now on Dara lives here". Ihsan said it while taking instant noodles from the closet.

“ Dara do you want fried noodles or gravy?” yelled Ihsan from the kitchen at Dara.

“Fried.. I like extra spicy fried noodles!” Reply Dara who is busy watching tv.

“ what ?...Dara lives here? With you!?” Axel asked and confirmed to Ihsan again.

“ where possible...male and female stay together! You can't do that!” Axel replied a little annoyed.

“Ssssttt..don't pictor yes!” Ihsan again whispered to Axel while cooking instant noodles. (pictor: dirty thoughts)

“ Dara is beautiful and innocent... while you..!” Axel explained his misgivings about Ihsan's idea.

“ what...what ...I why?  Why not keep going.why stop? why me?!” Ihsan asked mixed with offense.

“Heyy...old time actually cook his noodles, chat what the hell?” suddenly Dara was in front of them.

“cheating.I'm not invited, talk to me yaaa?” Dara starts to get suspicious because she sees Axel and Ihsan's body language which looks awkward.

“ already you are sitting here...!” Axel held Dara's hand and walked into the living room.

“I want to ask ..Who would you like to stay here?” Axel asked Dara in a slightly jealous tone.

“ Hmmm.. stay here ? ..how are you.. the place is good..comfortable....”. Dara answered by looking around .

 “Serious dong Dara!” Axel became upset because he felt his questions were ignored by Dara.

“ Can I... Do I live here? I want to, hehehe!” Dara answered innocently without realizing Axel was really upset to hear Dara's answer.

Does Axel allow Dara to stay with Ihsan?
