The star breathed slowly. The man leaned his back with his head turned up. “not the wrong star and arumi relationship. Your relationship is sacred even though there is no purpose,” said the star slowly. Afterwards the star turned his head to look at tyas. “should have been nagara family never existed, grandma,” said the star softly staring at tyas.

Tyas who heard that brought his body closer to the stars and hugged his grandson. Tyas tears fell as he looked at his granddaughter who looked very desperate. Just like this you're out of your mind, son. Moreover, you know everything later. Grandma will not be able to bear if you have to witness the regrets of our family. Inner tyas crying.

“don't talk like that, son. There is no nagara family, so this story does not exist. There is no nagara family and neither will you. That power should not be combined. But what power, son. Mistakes have stagnated meat in our large family,” said tyas while gently rubbing the star's head.

The starry body trembled in the arms of tyas. Her crying spilled right then and there.

“can grandma ask one thing, son?” ask the gentle tyas who was nodding by the stars.

“what makes you cry like this? Your love for arumi? or is there something you can't say?” ask tyas.

The star was silent for a moment. He broke free from Tyas' embrace and wiped away his tears. Afterwards the man shook his head. “stars do not know, grandma. The stars should be happy because we won this case. But it feels like the heart of the stars does not accept it. There's an invisible thing that makes star tears feel like fruitful regret, Grandma. But what?” ask the stars really not ahu what the cause.

Because your heart defies the truth your brain tells you, son. Your conscience holds his honesty. Inner tyas who could not say anything.

“grandma doesn't know what to help you, son. But can grandma ask for one thing?” ask tyas gently.

Stars nodded.

“learn to always forgive, son. Especially yourself,” said tyas full of meaning staring at the stars.

“meaning grandma?” ask the star with red eyes for crying.

Tyas shook his head. “nothing, son. Grandma just wants you to always forgive yourself. Don't hurt him because it won't provide a solution. Always think clearly and do not despair yes, son,” replied tyas gently rubbing the back hair of the stars.

The stars just nodded. What his grandmother said was true. But for later, no one knows if the star can remember and do his grandmother's advice or not.

Lunch time has come. The prisoners got their own rations to fill their stomachs this afternoon. There were only vegetables, fried tempeh and also eggs in their plates. Thank goodness, son. At least we can still eat. And the food is pretty nutritious, son. You will join rasain. Inner arumi was grateful to stare at the lunch menu that was already on her plate.

“here the food is not good. But believe me, you will still be guaranteed to eat here,” said veni who has started eating.

Nora, another arumi prisoner friend nodded. “usually, if the person who really enjoys life in prison without acting will get fat out of here, then,” words nora avenged kekehan veni and two other cell friends, Airi and Kaira.

“you are all good. Thank you,” said arumi sincerely staring at them all in turn.

They all smile. At first they were very jutek on arumi, but long, the softness and sincerity of arumi made them think of the woman as a sister. Out of the five of them, Arumilah is the youngest.

“ayo eat! We need energy here. At least to think,” said airi chuckled softly. Afterwards they continued eating quietly and occasionally joking.

Arumi grateful. Even very grateful. His fear didn't even happen. The prison guy he thought was evil didn't. They were all kind and could accept the existence of arumi.

…..

Agnes and Tasya are now sitting together at a restaurant to do what they should have done long ago. Agnes had already made an appointment with sasmita to meet. The middle-aged woman did not refuse and agreed to agnes' request.

Agnes nods. “tante sasmita may not break the promise,” said agnes.

“iya, who knows how the prospective in-laws are,” ledek tasya who already knows everything. Agnes had indeed told everything to Tasya and rendi about her match with the stars. At first they were quite shocked, but Agnes said that she and the star were only pretending to accept this matchmaking.

“pretend it,” replied agnes correcting.

“complicated relationship yes, nes,” said tasya with a straight forward view. The woman's hand was stirring the drink in the glass they had ordered.

“means?” agnes is confused.

“what if Arumi finds out about your relationship with Aaron? What if Arumi later knew if you were betrothed to a star? I can't imagine how arumi feels,” said tasya conveying what was on his mind.

“meatya arumi can not know. I don't want Arumi to feel bad to refuse our intention to help her. Arumi deserves justice. Anyway, me and the star will not continue this matchmaking later,” said agnes confidently.

Tasya nodded. She believed in Agnes because she already had another man in her heart. And tasya knows exactly who that person is.

Amidst their conversation, the sasmita came in a little haste. “maaf aunt late, agnes,” said sasmita unpleasant.

“gak papa, aunty. Sit first,” said Agnes allow sasmita to sit. Agnes and her baga greeted the sasmita by taking turns and offered the drink they had ordered for the sasmita.

“tadi aunty there is little work that can not be aunty postpone. Sorry, yes,” said sasmita again not good.

“it's okay, aunt. We also do not mind,” replied tasya smiling.

Sasmita returned tasya's smile and agnes then nodded. “so, what's up?” sasmita asked what their meeting meant.

“sorry before, aunt. Instead of sassy agnes or what, agnes and tasya want to talk about stars and arumi,” said agnes staring confident sasmita.

“you know agnes?” sasmita was surprised.

Agnes nods and smiles. “certain, aunt. Arumi is a client as well as a friend for us,” replied agnes honestly.

“sorry if previously aunt did not tell you about this,” said sasmita is not good. Because the reason is, currently Agnes is a woman who will be betrothed to her star child.

“it's okay, aunt. Don't feel bad,” replied agnes casually.

“what do you want to say?” tanya sasmita stared at tasya and agnes alternately.

Agnes sighed softly. “maybe the aunt won't believe it, but this is the truth, auntie,” said agnes.

“apa?”

“arumi pregnant grandson aunt.”
