Chasing Stars

Don't Say, That Stars Are Here

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The star looked at his papa with a look of despair. The long-haired girl was like she didn't recognize her papa.

Papa, who always believed in him and always prioritized whatever the Star wanted, now seems like a stranger who has no bond between the two of them.

For a moment, the stars closed their eyes.

"Sorry, Pa. The star still does not want to marry her," declined the Star, then.

The girl slowly retreated and then immediately turned around leaving the papa, without shedding any tears.

Just a few steps passed, the father exclaimed.

"Don't bring any of the facilities you've given me!"

The star turned around and approached the father. He took the wallet from inside his backpack and then the stars kept it on a bench, near his papa.

The star also picked up the phone, coinciding with an incoming call from Surya.

He received the phone, probably one last time before he handed the phone to the father.

"Hello, sister," said the Star, trying to speak as calmly as possible. Although his heart was currently crushed.

"Darling, is it true that your father forced you to marry Delon? Just now, Delon sent Om Hadi a voice-recorded message telling you to marry him. Is that really your papa's voice, honey? Or someone else's voice similar to Om Hadi's?" cecar Surya, on the other end of the phone.

From his tone, the Star can catch that the lover is so worried about him.

"And, is it true that the results of the USG test I received are, honey? It says that you, you ...." Surya remained silent. It seemed, the young man was unable to continue his sentence.

Yeah, apparently Delon's moving fast. He recorded Mr. Hadi's remarks and sent a piece of the message in which his father Bintang told his daughter to marry Delon and then sent the voice recording to Surya.

Delon also sent a photo of the fake test results of the Star to the Star lover, of course with the aim to damage the relationship of Surya and Bintang.

The star fell silent, hearing Surya's barrage of questions. He does not want to burden the lover who is studying far away there, with the problems he is facing.

'Forgive the Stars, Brother. Stars cannot share with Big Brother because the Star does not want Mother and Father disappointed, if Brother fails to achieve what Big Brother aspires to, ' whispered the Star in heart.

Yes, let all this be kept alone and perhaps it would be better for Surya if they parted because the Stars were considered unfaithful, than if they separated because of the illness he suffered.

"Tell me, honey, that it's all not true" Surya continued, unraveling the Star's daydream.

"That's all right, brother. Sorry, Bintang can not be loyal," concluded Bintang who then immediately closed the phone unilaterally, without giving Surya a chance to talk.

The star immediately turned off his phone and took his sim card. Break the sim card and keep the phone on the bench, next to the wallet that is still there.

Without a word, Bintang turned back and ran away leaving the father sitting listless accompanied by a young woman trying to get his love and attention.

The stars ran without looking back.

Sesil signals Delon to chase after the Star. However, Delon shook his head, rejecting Sesil's suggestion. I don't know what the reason is.

The young woman who was calming Mr. Hadi then moved and approached Delon.

"Why not be pursued?" cecar Sesil, whispering.

"Lazy, ah! That sickness," Delon replied with relief.

"Here you go" said Sesil, resigned.

The woman who was happy to wear a sexy dress again approached Mr. Hadi, but her papa Bintang moved and soon passed away leaving Sesil just like that.

"Mas, wait!" prevent Sesil, chase.

While on the side of the road, in front of the hospital, Bintang intercepted a taxi passing by to get somewhere. The girl counted in her heart, was enough of the rest of the money she had.

After getting a taxi, the girl then sat in the back bench contemplating her own fate.

Everything that had just happened flashed vividly in the Star's eye pelt, making the girl cry in silence.

"Where, Ma'am?" The voice of the middle-aged taxi driver, unraveling his daydream.

The star then mentioned a place and the taxi driver nodded, understood.

Silence, greet the cab cabin.

The stars return. While the taxi driver who seemed to understand the feelings of passengers sitting in the backseat, can only stare at the stars through the mirror reflection with a store of curiosity.

"Sorry, Ma'am. Are you sure you want to go to the area?" ask the taxi driver after long enough to leave Bintang with his solitude.

"Yes, sir," replied the Star, definitely.

The driver nodded back.

No more talking. The stars fell silent again, as did the taxi driver.

After a long time driving away from the city center, a taxi carrying the Bintang reached the intended area.

The unpleasant aroma immediately greeted the presence of the Star, as unpleasant as the life of the Star now and the girl whose face was as moist as it had decided, to settle here, as it was, in a place that smells bad.

'I'm sure, this is my place. They will definitely accept my presence well.' The star smiled as it got off the taxi.

After paying the taxi fare with the rest of the money he had, Bintang then walked along the banks of the river that smelled of rancid with definite steps.

The greeting of the children who passed by him, like the sound of melodious singing that soothed the soul, made the Star forget her sorrow.

The smile of the girl who has a sharp nose, which adds to the charm of the Star's beauty, the wider when her steps are closer to the place she is headed.

"Dec, who is it? How about, walk?" bima asked while circulating his gaze, looking for a young figure who used to accompany the Star.

A second later, Bima cursed herself for forgetting something. "Good, I forgot!" Bima patted his own eel.

"Surya, you're going outside, aren't you?" continues asking. Questions that don't need answers, of course.

Hearing the name Surya called, the face of the Star that was full of smiles, now turned cloudy.

"Sorry, Sister. I didn't mean to make you sad," regretted Bima.

Stars shake. "That's okay, kok, Sis," the Star replied, trying to smile back.

"Come, yuk!" bring Bima.

The star according to and follow the steps of Bima, entering into a halfway house that is not worth mentioning as a house.

Baru saja Bintang duduk di lantai yang beralaskan spanduk bekas, ponsel Bima terdengar berdering.

Bima took the phone from inside the pants pocket, the young man seemed to frown deeply. "Suryas? What's Surya calling me?"

Bima looked at the Star and the Star shook her head while cupping both hands in front of her chest.

"Please, Brother Bima should never tell Surya that the Star is here" Pinta Bintang, full of hope.
