Forced to Marry a Teacher

36. It's Not Him I Want

Not a second did his mind stop circling Janus. Wasn't he traveling with the Stars, couldn't his heart and mind stop momentarily pondering over the man who never cared about his feelings. Isn't the Star the man who's longer in his tribe. Why does his heart feel empty, in this day and day he was with the man who had made his heart beat first.

Various places have been visited by Astrid with the Stars. However, not a single bit of his heart was happy. He is more silent than should take the topic for his chat. This was really very awkward for the star, who had invited him to talk. However, Astrid simply replied to him with a nod and a short sentence.

"Are you okay?" ask Stars.

Astrid shook her head and replied. "No."

The star then smiled at the woman who was in the middle of the sadness. He gave a warm touch to his hand. Grasping tightly the tiny hand of the grieving woman.

Astrid was made silent, staring at the smiling Star while tightly grasping her hand. His actions had made Astrid nervous to death. How can he act like a lover. Even Janus never did anything like this.

They walk hand in hand. But for some reason, Astrid felt uncomfortable. He then removed his hand from the Star's grasp. When it was released, the Star again gripped Astrid's hand tightly, then put it in her hoodie pocket.

"Isn't this getting warmer."

"Hm, it seems like I'm not used to walking while holding hands" Astrid said in a nervous tone.

"Later to get used to it too, anyways I hold your hand only until the restaurant," said Bintang smiling sweetly looking at Astrid.

This was really very awkward for Astrid. But how else, the loud whistling Star did not want to let go of his hand. Astrid had to walk while holding hands.

In each step he said that the man holding his hand is not a Star, but a man who now occupies the first position in the bottom of his heart.

Then when Bintang and Astrid arrive at the restaurant. The restaurant looked quiet, there was not even a single visitor in the restaurant. It was not strange that there were only two visitors in the restaurant. Then as they began to sit down, a waiters came along carrying food that had not even been ordered by Astrid or the Stars.

"I haven't even ordered any food yet, is the restaurant here really like this. Then why are we only in restaurants this fancy?" ask Astrid for wonder.

"I've actually booked this place."

"Don't it be very expensive if you book this place."

"I think it's okay to be expensive. Because it's a special day."

"What special day. Is it your birthday?"

"It's not my birthday. Later you will know the reason I vacated this restaurant, you better eat first" replied the smiling Star.

The star had actually made Astrid curious half to death. Astrid was impatient with what the star meant. He was in a hurry to finish the pasta that has been served waiters on his desk.

"I've finished all the pasanya. So I can tell you what special things you mean."

The star chuckled, looking at the behavior of Astrid who had finished the pasta without remaining in her bowl. Even he himself had not consumed all his pasas.

"Why rush to spend it. There's still one more dessert closing."

The star then gave a round of applause to the waiters, giving him a code to immediately bring his dessert. The waiters then brought two deserts to Astrid and the Stars. As the waiters kept the dish, Astrid was astonished. Because it's not just two deserts that are placed waiters on his desk. There is a jewelry box that is also stored waiters at the table. And what makes Astrid wonder, why suddenly someone came to play the violin.

Suddenly, the star took the jewelry box, then knelt down while opening the jewelry box that turned out to contain a necklace.

"Actually I like you a lot and I want to have more of a relationship with you. So will you be my girlfriend."

"I'm sorry I can't" said Astrid, stepping away from the kneeling Star.

Astrid left in a hurry to get out of the restaurant. His heart and mind were filled with Janus. Even without any reason he resolutely rejected the man he had long wanted.

Suddenly, his steps stopped. He realized that he had a short message that Janus replied to him this afternoon through his cellphone.

"Didn't he tell me to have fun and enjoy my teenage years. He doesn't even care about my feelings why I should care about him. Wouldn't it be better if I received the Star," he murmured in annoyance.

Astrid then turned around, and ran towards the reset. Arriving at the door of the restaurant, Astrid paused to catch her breath after running. After her breathing returned to normal, Astrid then opened the door while shouting to call out the name of the man who today expressed her feelings.

"Star."

Bintang was shocked by Astrid's scream. The star seems confused by Astrid's return to the restaurant.

"Will he apologize for molesting me" muttered the Star in his mind.

Astrid approached the Star, then held both of her hands. "What was your statement that still applies."

"Yes." Yeah."

"I want to be your girlfriend."

Sontak Bintang also directly close medekap Astrid's body. "Thank you, I'm really happy."

Being a star lover was his hope from the beginning. But for some reason, when the Star was closing in, Astrid did not feel happy in the slightest. His heart and mind were still on Janus.

However, in the depths of her heart Astrid hopes that with the beginning of her relationship with the Stars, her feelings for Janus will soon disappear.

...****************...

At 20:00 the Stars drove Astrid home. Arriving at the apartment, Astrid finds Janus putting up a wedding photo in the living room.

"Why did you put up that photo?" ask Astrid

"Very dear if only in store, better to install."

"Why should be loved, is not our marriage just a charade. That picture means nothing to us."

"Tomorrow my grandfather will visit here. So it seems strange that our wedding photos are not in pairs... oh yeah, how was your date with the Stars?"

"Today we started dating."

As soon as Janus's countenance looked grim, his heart ached at hearing the news that it might have been bad news for him. However, how else he has promised and whistle to not put his heart on any woman including his wife. Janus turned his head, looking at Astrid with a fake smile that covered his grief.

"Congratulations, may your relationship last a long time."

"What you say is truly sincere. Are you happy to hear that I'm in a relationship with another man?" astrid asked in annoyance.

It was hard to admit that he was really unhappy with the news. Actually his heart was very sick to hear his wife was in a relationship with another man. How else, he has no right to forbid Astrid to be in a relationship with any man. Janus just smiled as he nodded, then stepped foot into the room.
