Where is that star?



***CENTRAL DISTRICT, BARON RESIDENCE


“Young master, please wake up. The great master had been waiting below" Bi Ijah knocked slowly on my room door while waking him up from outside the room


“Emmmh" I replied with a sigh from inside the room, wriggled for a while then got off the bed.


Hearing my response from inside the room bi ijah moved from the front door of the room. I cleaned myself up. Ah.. previously, introduce me to Fabian Baron. The only son of the Baron family and will be the heir to the only company.


 Finished cleaning, I rushed down the stairs to the bottom floor. There was already a man who had grown old sitting eating his breakfast.he was my father


“Good morning Dad" Good morning words came out of my mouth. This is a little different, this remark is from a child to a father but also seems like a subordinate to his superior


He only glanced at me for a moment before continuing to eat his dishes. One of the maids grabbed my dining chair and let me sit down. I was still staring at Dad, in the depths of my heart still hoping for a reply.


“Today you have a repeat, right? I heard it from your homeroom teacher" She was busy eating her morning meal, not heeding my greetings


“Iya Yah" I answered briefly while wearing a dinner napkin. That wasn't the good morning reply I expected


“I don't want to hear your grades are less than 95 from your teacher later! I don't like stupid kids!” The voice sounded cold and resolute, full of emphasis


“Good Dad"


“Back from school later, I've hired a teacher for you to learn about the company. Tomorrow night we'll meet Dermot's family, we've agreed to match you and his daughter"


He said that with a relaxed face! no matter what the reaction of the child is


“Dad! I'm new class 3 SMP!” I was shocked to hear it. How could such a matter he decide for himself without questioning my opinion?!


“PRANK"


The sound of the broken glass was successful in making me and the workers gasp in shock


“DO YOU NOW DARE TO ARGUE WITH ME?!” Dad glared angry at me


He got out of my chair and walked towards me. I gulped with difficulty, my throat felt choked


“I DID THIS FOR YOU!! YOU SON DON'T KNOW HOW TO REPLY!!!  ARE YOU THIS WAY BECAUSE THE WOMAN YOU CALL MOM IS HA?!!”


He gripped my cheek violently. His face was only a few centis different from mine. His eyes were angry at me


I swallowed my saliva roughly, please give me a little courage


“please don't bring Mom up" My voice softly very slowly, but with this kind of distance I'm pretty sure she heard me


I smiled for a moment. The fur of my nape is bristling. He threw his hand violently. Walk away towards the wall hanging rattan. You can guess, right?


He told me to push up.


“ CTAR”


 I bit my lip withstanding the pain. The sound went off many times.3 landed on my back, 2 on my thighs, and 3 landed on my calves. As if feeling enough about it all, he threw the long rattan onto the floor.


His back turned around, he walked away from here. I took pains to sit down. The sound of the car was heard in my ear. Ah... Dad's gone to work. Aunty ran hysterically towards me, knocking me into the room.


I passed by the home workers who lowered their faces, no one dared to look me in the face.


“I'm okay bi" hopefully with a short sentence along with a thin smile I can calm him down.


Aunt wiped her nose, I convinced her I was okay.  I want to be alone, I'm asking aunt out of the room. He came out of my room with an unconvinced face.  Heavy breathing. It's been 11 years since Dad beat me up, but every time he hit me I'm still scared


I missed school today. This is the last day of the class exam. It's okay, Dad will give some money to the school to give me the perfect grade


My eyes shifted to my mother's picture on my desk. It's been the 4th year my mother left me for good. Since losing the person who always supported me, I lost the meaning of life.


I no longer have the passion to live and even I I do not know what my purpose in life is


“Where is the star that mom said it was?”


“Who is my life star?”


“Do I deserve my own life?”


Never mind…. Stop asking that stupid question. Now I just hope the night will come soon. Only at night can I be honest with myself.


CENTRAL JAKARTA, CARINA RESIDENCE


Carina Bellatrix, that's my name and this year I'm gonna be 16. I'm working my way home from the class exam. If you ask “is that not the duty of a father?”


That's true, but it's also wrong in my family. Ever since mom left for good, Dad is busy with his new family and forgets about his obligations to us


“ ABAKKKK...” The voice of a child shouting this surprised me. It's a voice that brings my spirit back to life again


“Bella... don't run deck!” I bend my knees to equalize my body height with her


Bella Bellatrix, my only sister and my life's encouragement. The one I protect with all my heart. I was 5 years away from him


“What's the deck?” my arm he's on my thigh


“ I got 1 again, said the teacher if I get good grades can make parents happy to keep them working spirit. Because mother no longer I love my value brother” She proudly showed off the paper containing the number to me


My heart ached along with a sense of tightness hearing her innocent statement


“why don't you show it to papa?” I tried to lure him in, guessing with myself what answer he made


“Papa never gave us a living! never hit us either! I don't think I have a papa" Her lips lifted up


With her beautiful face she said things that were not suitable for a child her age. The tightness in the chest gnawed at me much deeper.


 I played 3 roles at once for him, as a father, mother and brother.


“karna adekku beautiful can be ranked one, ayok brother invite ice cream ” kugandeng his hands out of the house


I told you a little about myself. I used to want to drop out of school, and only intend to entrench my brother. But I remembered the mother's advice not to give up on learning under any circumstances.


I lost the intention of dropping out of school. But how?


I am now 15 years old, since the death of my mother at the age of 12, since the return of my mother, I worked as a maid in the residence of Miss Marthe, for 6 months. At that time, my brother was 7 years old


Then what about Dad?  he was busy with his love. He used to intend to get us at the orphanage. But the orphanage refused because we thought our father could still support us both. No one's family accepts either


 And after that? After that incident, my father did not give me any money to eat or just buy milk for my brother. He told me to work and claimed that I was of working age


Mrs Marthe gave me a job, but she followed my mother after 3 months of work.2 sons and 1 adult daughter treated me worse than animals.


I thought about quitting my job, but how? I don't have a job to bring my brother to life. Until his 2 sons intended to break me, I finally came out after 6 months working there.


Miracle's coming. A middle-aged man saw me starving. She gave me a ride in her house as long as I worked as a maid. I accepted. His wife treated us very well


I knew that his wife could not get pregnant. He planned to adopt us, but I refused. At that time I thought that there was nothing we could do to return their favor


3 Months I worked at their residence, one day the man named reka talked to me. I was shocked to hear that I had been given a salary. At that time I thought that being fed and staying dead was more than enough


He laughed when he heard me say that. He thought that my salary had been better in his hands for a while. He asked for permission to invest my money into stocks but under the name of my name ownership


I didn't really understand stocks at the time and investing allowed it. A little bit after that I found out about what stocks are. But unfortunately 2 and a half years later his family had to go to the village to take care of their elderly parents


Mr. Reka gave me the investment money from a salary of 2 and a half years withheld. I was surprised to see the amount of money. And right now I'm trying to open my own business


The kind family told me before saying goodbye that I should promise to call them if I needed anything


And now I hope this becomes a new life page for me and my brother


Mother, can I find the location of the star you mentioned?


Where is my star***?
