Moon & Stars (Revised)

Section 35. About the Stars

Not felt, the guy had reached the front of the house after a long trip. Star parked his motorbike in garage—precisely next to his father's car—then down from there.

The star rested her hair that was slightly disheveled backwards due to the wind while on the road earlier. Coincidentally, the Star accidentally did not wear a helmet on the way home. Then, the guy in the blue uniform who looked shabby walked over to the main door. Without further ado, the Star opens the door of the house.

Darkened.

One word that describes the atmosphere of that large room at this moment. The star swept his gaze to the corner of the room that looked blurry in the eye because of the minimal lighting. Brow shriveling. Where are the residents?

Feeling unimportant to think about, the man relaxed his shoulders and continued his footsteps into the house.

Light switch. One word that comes to the mind of the stars.

Yeah, he's about to turn on the lights. It looks like the guy who was frowning looking for a small object that is usually stuck on the wall of the wall.

The two sparkling star eyes looked at the small object in the corner of the living room room. When he was about to go to him, all the lights were already on.

“Loh, coke ..” Who lights the lights?

The confused star looked around that was pitch black now bright. Plus jolted in shock at the sight that was in front of him.

“L-loh, Mama..?”

“Papa.. ?”

“O-om Andre..?”

The star mentioned one by one the three people who were sitting behind him on the living room sofa.

“You ... what is it here?” ask the stars too bego. The guy grumbled inwardly. The stupidest question. Yes, obviously sit down!

Duh, you are so stupid!

The star snorted in annoyance as no one answered even responding to his question. A bit of remorse lingered in the guy's mind for asking them. He should have pretended to be so funny.

The star chose to step up the stairs to get to the room quickly. Just set foot on the first rung of the ladder, the voice of the father had already intruded and stopped his steps.

“Where have you been? You remember home too, huh?!” Adi asked sarcastically. The bespectacled middle-aged man got up from sitting and walked behind his only puppet son.

Stars rotate the eyeballs. Already he guessed it would end like this, getting hospitality like the usual days because it came home at night. If you can be honest, actually Bintang is very uncomfortable and fed up with all the behavior of the father who always behaves arbitrarily. All his wishes must be Star fulfilled. Can't not not.

And, Bintang—he has done everything her father wanted. Take private tutoring, learn desperately to become a class champion, and even willing not to go out playing and hanging out with his friends. So, the Star is wrong if you want to ask for a little freedom when it is big?

Remember, the Star is not a child anymore who will obey whatever he is told. He's in High School, he's mature enough. He was really fed up with the attitude of the father who always curbed his life. It happened when he was a kid because he didn't know anything.

The stars just want to get out of that zone. It makes him uncomfortable. He also wants to be free like the rest of his friends. His life is not just for learning, learning and learning. He's human too. The nature of socialization is still inherent in him. He needs a social environment to improve.

Here, the desire of the Stars is not grandiose. He just wants to live like most teenagers. Setting and determining his own future, not laid out and determined like this.

The star turned around, staring at the man with one eyebrow raised upwards. "What is the story with you?" The star asked back.

"Bad!" adi's Umpat.

The face of the bespectacled man with a little mustache decorating the lips looked flushed red, like a bomb that would soon explode. His firm jaw seemed to harden. Both of his hands down there were already firmly clenched. Really, he hated the most if anyone dared to challenge him. Moreover, Bintang, the only son of his puppet who had begun to dare to be insolent to him. The more days, the boy was getting stubborn.

“Who taught you to be disrespectful like that, Star?! We your parents never taught you to defy!” ask Adi full of demands.

The star snorted cynically while throwing its face away. Then look back at my father. “Didn't you teach me all this time, Mr Supriadi Wijaya?” The deadly grin is beautifully engraved on the lips of the Stars. Shrugging his shoulders, the man continued his words. “So, I don't know,” said the Star with a face to challenge him.

“Badness!”

THE PLAQUE!

BUGH!

BUGH!

BUGH!

“I never taught you like that, son of a bitch. I never taught you to be disrespectful to parents. I also never taught you to be a dissident child like this!!!” adi said exploding in front of the Star.

The man did not accept Bintang claiming to be the one who had taught him such a disrespectful thing all along.

"Based on the kid doesn't know it's lucky!!!"

BUGH!

Adi ended his streak with a bogeman on the man's face, then got up from his position after spitting beside the Star.

Now, the stars are battered. His face is no longer formed. Not fighting back doesn't mean the stars are afraid of that damn guy. The stars did not fight. If he wanted to, that old jackass man would have been a bastard in his hands. But sadly, the stars still remember themselves.

The star stood up and looked down at the father. Chuckles cynically while wiping the blood on the tip of his lips that were torn due to Adi's non-playful punch.

“Udah, talking?!”

Adi gritted his teeth furiously. His emotions again peaked hearing the words of the Star. Stars are really insolent. The child should be taught more so that next time it is more polite to the parents.

“Fucking child!!”

When she was about to throw another bogeman at the Star, Hanna had already prevented her by hugging her body from behind. So did Andre who helped hold both of his sturdy arms.

“Release me!!! Let me teach this brat a lesson!!!” renegade Adi wants to be released, but ignored by both.

“Udah, Pa, already!" lerai Hanna with tears. Which mother's heart does not hurt to see her child's face battered. “Liat Star face has been battered like that. Udah ...,” continued Hanna.

“Udah, On! Your son is almost dead.” Andre chimed in. Poor to see his nephew like that. Even though the Star was naughty and almost every day made him blood up, but that did not mean Andre would hate his own nephew. No, his life principle is not like that!

Hearing the words of the wife and sister made Adi's emotions slowly shrink. “Ya already, release me!” adi's decree in the end, the man was making a rough breath.

Hanna and Andre let go, slightly away from Adi's body. After being separated from Hanna and Andre, Adi went straight into his room. Passing the Star just like that which is still with a grin on the lips.

After the departure of her husband, Hanna immediately approached the Star and hugged her child with tears. Andre went straight home. She knows herself, this child and mother need to be given time together.

Hanna cupped the star's cheek with a bruised wound with both hands so that all the boy's gaze was focused on her. Hanna was still in tears. Her heart was sliced at the wound on her son's face.

“You don't papa, son? No one got hurt, right?” ask Hanna to worry.

The star responded to the mother's anxiety with a smile, then nodded her head. “Iya, Mother. Stars are fine, really. Mama don't have to worry about the Stars,” said Bintang softly while wiping tears on Hanna's cheeks.

Forced Bintang to lie because only in that way his mother will not be sad anymore. He would do anything as long as it could make his mother happy and smile.

“Udah, Mom! Stop crying.” The star wiped back the trail of tears on Hanna's cheek. Her shady gaze made Hanna develop a thin smile on the sidelines of her cries.

“Tuh, add old plasticity, right?” the Canda Star tried to make Hanna laugh.

Dan, successfully. The old woman who had given birth to him let out a laugh. “You are-just there.”

The star smiled widely while looking at the beautiful face of the mother at her old age. She was happy to see her mother smiling.
