Moon & Stars (Revised)

Section 33. Day Shit Star Part 1

The star stood in front of the room. Surrounding him is only filled with school facilities in the form of benches and tables that are no longer worth using. Nests of spiders and dust filled the room.

The guy's on the roftoop right now. His two sharp eyes were staring straight ahead. A flash of fire could be seen clearly on the two black balls. Both of his hands holding on to the barrier were already firmly clenched. His chest rose and fell with an irregular breath. It was all a sign that soon something was going to explode inside him.

“Sial!” The disheveled-looking man grabbed his hair in frustration while kicking the air around.

Like the God of goodness is not siding with him now. Today is the best day in the life of a Bintang Prawijaya. A historic day that will never be in his memory until anytime. His patience is really tested now. That's what his bet is.

I woke up late, I was home early this morning because I came home late, and now I'm late. However, if you can be honest, actually it is not the main problem. But ...

Ah, nevermind!

A shadow from the series of events this morning was automatically turned on the head of the Star. Starting from his self who woke up late until it could end in this slum.

Flashback...

Arriving in front of the gate, the school already looked deserted. There was no longer any noise and the usual commotion of the students filled every corner of the large building area. The fence was also tightly closed. That means, he's too late.

“Well, right, feeling I'm right.” The star rubbed its face roughly followed by a heavy sigh.

“Arghhh!” The man grabbed his hair in frustration after kicking the closed school fence. Apes was alive today when it was morning.

Damnit damnit!

The star leaned his back against the gate. Start thinking about how to get into the school environment without being caught by the teacher. But how is his way? The guard at this school is very strict. Almost all corners are guarded by security guards with teachers who picket alternately every day. If Bintang comes in, it is certain that he will be caught and this problem will lead to himself getting a lecture and bogeman from the father.

Ahah!

Until, Bintang flicked his finger along with the look of the face that changed. A pretty good idea popped up in his smart brain.

“Coloss aja times, yes?” he muttered to himself. Come to think of it, truancy is nothing wrong. His coming now is as though he is unknown to no one. Hm, maybe too!

The guy nodded his head with lips that were unceasingly carving out a smile.

“Ya, deh!”

“Where are you?” Just now, the guy was about to step foot up to the motor, intending to ditch, suddenly a voice interrupted him from behind. A familiar sound in his ears was able to make the Star stop its steps and sculpt in place.

The star turned its body back toward the gate with its heart beating twice as fast. Fearfully, his guess about the person behind the voice just now was right.

Turns out, the gate was wide open. Beside him, already stood firmly a male teacher that most Stars avoided in this school with his sharp gaze.

Duh, mampus!

The star grimaced quietly in the heart. Can take care of his business like this. But, as much as possible, he hid his fearful and restless look behind his annoying face.

“Eh! Om Andre ...,” chirps Stars chatter, then chuckle softly.

The teacher turned his eyeballs off guard, then returned his glare to the Stars. "Don't call me, om! It's a Star school," the teacher scolded after him.

Andre Wijaya, so his name. A math teacher at Mahardika High School. Still young, handsome, firm, and authoritative. The perfection that the young teacher had, made some even almost all of his students interested in him and idolized him.

He is also a Star Uncle. Yeah, correct. He is the younger brother of Supriadi Wijaya, the birth father of Bintang Prawijaya. Don't be surprised by the Star who called him ‘om’ even though he was in the school area, because that's the Star.

In addition to math and pjok teachers, Andre is also one of the BK teachers at this school. Everything about the order of the students, he handles it. Punishing students who violate order is his duty. The star who was his own nephew was one of the students who became his victim every day. His article, the Star is recalcitrant and often violates school order.

“Eng-not om,” elak Bintang while shaking his head.

“Log in!” peech Andre firmly. His gaze on the Star turned cold.

Again, Bintang sipped his saliva with great difficulty. Then, the man walked into the schoolyard and followed the young teacher's footsteps where he was taking her away.

It's predictable. The stars will be brought here. Where else if not to the room BK, where the trial and lectured of naughty students. And here they both are. In a room filled only with student order. Speaking with four eyes.

“Why is it too late?” ask Andre to the stars. His hands were crossed in front of his chest staring at the disciple who was in front of him.

There was no response from the stars. The teenage boy just silently lowered his head, staring at the floor tiles he was treading on now.

“Slowly wake up again? Yes?!” guess Andre seems to have memorized the answer that will come out of the mouth of the Star every time asked why it came late.

“Star... Stars...” The teacher shook his head, not knowing the mind of this one disciple. Stubborn as his father. Difficult arranged. Yes, Andre must admit that almost all of Adi's traits are down in the Stars.

“Until when the hell are you going to continue like this? When will you change?” andre asked his voice with his unceasing eyes staring at the stars of pity.

While the one being lectured was still silently lowered. Listening to all the talk that came out of the uncle's mouth.

“Sadar, Bintang .. Your life journey is still long ...,” pause Andre for a moment, “Om, please ... don't ruin your future by doing like this, Nak.”

Hearing that, Bintang raised his face and stared into the bead of the uncle's eyes. “Future? Make what?!” ask the stars and laugh.

Unknowingly, a drop of clear liquid managed to exit his eyelid. He turned his face to the side for a while to dispel those tears from coming out again. He did not want to look weak in front of Andre.

BRACKET!

The star kicked the table violently making Andre jump in shock. Then, he got up from his seat with a dead red face.

“MAKE WHAT, OM?! EVEN THE FUTURE OF THE STARS WAS ALREADY SHATTERED BECAUSE OF THAT DAMN MAN!!! SO MAKE IT MORE?!!” shouted the Star furiously and had involuntarily snapped

Andre's. His article, he was already emotional with the words Andre had about his future.

Andre's face was red. Like him, soon something will explode. However, as much as possible, he held all the anger within him. His clenched hands down there were squeezing his fingers at each other.

“Let your tone down, Stars!” hiss Andre and full of emphasis in every word that came out of his lips. His eyes did not stop staring at the stars sharply. He hated it if anyone dared to yell at him.

“Sorry, um! I was released earlier,” shrewdly Star with a tone full of regret. He admitted that he was wrong. Just wanted to sit back on his bench, Andre had already kicked him out first.

“OUT!!!” drive Andre away decisively, irrefutably.

Without waiting for his second command, the Star immediately rose from its seat and walked out of the room. He knows himself enough.

The star continued to walk down the deserted corridor with a straight forward look. His mind was floating everywhere. His feelings seemed mixed up now, making his heart murmur erratically. Angry, upset, disappointed, and sad felt at the same time. All of that he wanted to vent in order to make him relieved. Yeah, but, not here. He does not want anyone else to be the victim of his actions.

His footsteps stopped at a staircase that connects to the roof floor aka roftoop. The star was silent for a moment. Then, set his feet up the stairs one by one, until he reached the top. Somehow, his feet brought him here.

Stupid again? Fuck all that.

The stars don't care.

Off Flashback...
