After the Rain
Star Reason



The mouth of the Star opened wide when it saw the piece of paper Daniar showed. Both of his eyes were perfectly rounded. Instantly, the two Star knees felt limp as if they were boneless.


Aware of having made a mistake, the Star immediately plopped down in front of both of her mother's legs. Both Star hands, holding Daniar calves.


"Pardon Bibin, Bun. For God's sake ... Bibin did not intend to lie to Mother, nor did Ms. Megi."


The star began to sob bitterly, realizing his mistake. He regretted that he had disappointed his mother. However, to be honest the Stars had no other choice. He knew that his mother was having financial difficulties. Therefore he decided not to tell the study tour activities at his school.


"But in reality, you have lied to Mother, Star Azura! And that makes Mother disappointed. Very disappointed!" said Daniar, cold.


"Forgive Bibin, Bun! Bibin promises, Bibin will never repeat the deed again" the Star replied. Her tears began to flow down both of her cheeks.


"Then, why do you have to lie to Mother?" Daniar still asked in a very flat tone.


Silent. The Star's tongue is stark. He was unable to tell the truth about why he lied. Therefore, the Star could only close its mouth while bowing its head.


"Azura star answer!"


Feeling annoyed by the silence of the child, Daniar shouted while stomping his feet firmly. And that, without realizing it has made the body of the Star lunge backward.


Daniar surprised. However, the resentment over the lies the star has perpetrated, far outweighs his desire to help the child stand up.


All over Daniar's body felt limp. His legs seemed unable to support his body anymore. Daniar's body fell to the floor.


"You don't want to answer Azura Star? Well, Mother will not force you. But do not blame Mother if Mother handed you to your father. If you are good at lying, it means that Mother has failed to educate you. All this time, Mommy never taught you to lie, but somehow you can do it. Mother failed! Mother has failed to educate children. Maybe because of that too, God better take the womb of Mother than Mother has children, but not becus to educate her," raved Daniar.


For a moment, only sobs could be heard between the mother and the child. Finally, Daniar asked the stars again.


"Then, what's the reason you lied, son? Mommy is sure you are a good child, but why do you have to lie to Mommy? What's the reason, Bin?" insist Daniar.


"Bibin .. emh, Bibin ha-just don't want to burden Mother anymore. Bibin knows that our economy is in trouble. Bibin does not want to add to the difficulties of Mother by thinking about the study tour Bibin," said Bintang who finally admitted the reason why he lied.


Daniar was stunned to hear his son's confession. No doubt, he pulled the Star and hugged her tightly.


Astaghfirullahaladzim .. Inner Daniar beristighfar.


Daniar really did not expect if the star was so sensitive to the difficulties it was facing. In fact, Daniar never told me the slightest about his economic difficulties.


"I'm sorry, Mom, son. Forgive Mommy for being so angry that you never ask first why you lied. In fact, you do this lie to keep the feelings of Mother," said Daniar, softly.


"No, Bun. Bibin's the one who's apologizing. Bibin has disappointed you. Forgive me, Bibin," the Star.


Daniar tightened his embrace. Really, she was a mother who was very lucky to have a child who could understand her circumstances.


Oh my God, Kang .. We are so lucky to have a Star that can understand our condition. However, somehow your mother could want to take custody of the stars. Please don't separate Niar from the stars, kang. Niar please...


niar screams in his heart.
