PROOF OF LOVE FOR THE STARS

22 Meet them, brother!

Zoya

I saw Bi sitting daydreaming on the bed. Almost all night he was awake. And after the dawn prayer at the mosque of this house, Bi returned to the room.

Not a mouthful of rice entered his stomach. He only drinks when he wants to. Kakung, Uti even papa, no one managed to persuade him. He answered yes. But in fact, he did not touch a bit of food on the nightstand.

Mama, since that afternoon no longer out of the room. Mama happened to be coming to the moon, not going out to pray. Papa and Bi Imah even brought food for mama into the room.

Mama was very disappointed. I know it. But is there not even the slightest chance?

"Bi, dong. Mama will be seeing you soon. You eat yes. Pity your mother if you see you're sick." My persuasion is like the wind.

So did Nath and Nair. The two of them entered the Star Room last night. "Sister, what do you want. Say Nath. Burger, pizza, seblak, or jontorr meatballs Nath buyin."

"Or Nair bought it. What do you want?"

"So don't just want to calm your mind."

"You guys get out." Said it last night.

Then Nath and Nair went somewhere. Both may vent emotions by hitting the samsak. Anyway, there's a part of Rion in this. The incident is their friend.

And that was dawn. Nath's lips turned blue. I'm sure he's fighting. But I don't know with whom. He even admitted to being hit by the edge of the table. Doesn't make sense.

Or with Rion? If yes. Good though. And I should have come along and contributed a hard blow to his face.

"Bi, Jogging yuk." She shook her head.

"Bi, aren't you teaching?" ask again.

She shook her head. "Om Ray, give me two days' leave."

I breathed a heavy breath. I finally gave up. I went into my room. Then try to contact someone. I hope he can be a guardian angel.

I'm still locked up in my room. I haven't seen my two daughters yet. But since nightfall, alternately people enter this room. Mother, father, Akhtar and my two sons.

"Try to speak well, Lin."

"Give the kids a chance."

"They're young, son."

"Find them."

Mother sat next to me. On the side of the bed.

His eyes looked straight ahead.

"First, when you were Star age, you were already married to Lin. It even gave birth to her."

I looked at mom. His eyes began to look back on me remembering my bad times.

"You are not hijab either. You also often wear short-sleeved shoulders. Sometimes it's negligent." Mother looked at me and smiled. Mother stroked my hair.

"Making mistakes does not mean forever wrong Lin. Not that it will fail in life."

"When a child goes wrong, we should grab them. Showing the right direction. Follow. Not to let them alone and get dragged into guilt."

"You remember? When you fail at your marriage. Your father and mother are by your side. Hugging and making you feel like you're not alone anymore."

"We are living together for the sake of the Star and Zoya."

My tears are dripping. Mother was right, but I don't know why this time I was so disappointed.

"Star and Zoya need you Lin."

"Since their baby depended on you. You are the rod for both."

"And if you leave them now. How can they walk?"

"How can they step, Lin."

"Meet children. Because at any time guiding them is our duty as parents."

That night, my mother made me reflect a lot. Am I being too outrageous to them?

And this morning, it's still 7 but a beautiful woman with a real robe came into my room. She was sitting on a dressing chair facing me.

"Sister..."

While preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Satya ran from the second floor with a cell phone.

"Na, na. Come here, baby!"

"What the hell is it, brother?" I opened the apron and handed my cooking to the housekeeper to continue.

"Zoya calls the crybaby, Na!" Satya's screams surprised me.

"Oh my God, why brother?." I asked in panic.

Satya and I sat at the dinner table. Sis Satya meloudspeaker calls on her phone.

"Please Zoya same Bi, bun."

"Zoya ise. Why are you, son. Please what?" I'm getting panicked. Fear of something bad happening to both of them.

Zoya tells her the problem. Not too detailed but I can understand it.

"Mama's mad at both of us, bun. Mama hasn't spoken yet." Zoya crying.

"Bi didn't want to eat from yesterday. He just shut up."

"Mother, persuade Bi yes."

"Dad, let's take Bi where it is. Zoya can't bear to see Bi kayak gini." Zoya spoke without pause even with a hoarse voice.

Satya and I went straight to the residence of Kak Lintang after changing clothes.

We got there and the house was very quiet. There's only Akhtar because I believe the twins are in school.

I went straight to the Star Room. The star was sitting on the sofa staring at the window. While Zoya sat next to her staring at the Star, and occasionally turned to that large window.

Oh my God, the girl looked pale. And Zoya faithfully accompanies him here. Brother Rezki, look at your two daughters. A single tear fell on the corner of my eye.

"O mother's favorite children." I hugged both of them.

They kissed my hand. "Mother when will come." Zoya screams cheerfully. I knew he was fishing for Bi to come welcome me.

The star threw out his faint smile. "Everything will be fine, baby" I told him.

"Bi eat yuk. Want mama masakin what?"

The star is still. "Are you coming with me for breakfast outside?" I offered.

"Bun, Bi is wrong." She was crying hugging me. Cry, Bi. Crying away. Until the tightness in your chest no longer feels son.

"Darling, or do you want to tell me about it?"

"You want to go to the opa house with oma?"

The stars seem to think. "Oma.." he muttered. "Papa." he muttered later but tears instantly slid in the corner of his eye.

Stars nodded.

"Yeeeeeeay!!! Same time as ayaaaaah!!!" Zoya jumps like a child.

And a small smile rose on the lips of the Star.

I'm heading to Lintang's room. I opened the door and sister Lintang was sitting on the edge of the bed with prayer beads in her hands.

He was trying to calm himself down, dampen his emotions.

I sat on the dresser facing him. "Sister..."

"You're here, Na?" tanyakanya. His eyes were puffy, with wrinkles that began to be clearly visible. As well as the black circumference in the eye area that indicates he is sleep deprived.

"Sister, it's about the kids." I got straight to the point.

Kak Lintang crying. "I'm disappointed, Na."

"Because of Rion's treatment or because the stars are just silent?"

"Both." he replied.

"Then Zoya?"

"I'm disappointed too. But it's not as bad as my disappointment at Bi" he said slowly.

"Then why didn't you see Zoya, brother?" my many.

"Zoya and Bi are the same brother. They're one. If one gets hurt, the other one gets hurt." My next.

"Find them brother." Latang remained silent.

"Sister, they're also hurt. They are sad because of guilt. They're sorry brother." I tried to convince Lintang. Because what I saw was a very painful sight.

"The star hasn't even eaten from yesterday." Kak Lintang looked at me. Like surprised.

"Don't know?" my many.

Kak Lintang shakes.

I stood up and walked towards the door. I've been holding the door handle. But I turned my body again. Lintang is still looking at me.

"If brother keeps this up. I'll take the kids with me with or without brother's permission."

"Because I'm sure that Akhtar and Satya's brother will support me." I came out of the room, Lintang.

Kak Lintang must be disappointed and confused as to how. From his eyes he looked very sad.

Lintang wants the best for both. Kak Lintang wants them to be human beings who are in the way of Allah. By not falling into sin.

Kak Lintang could have married Bi to Rion. But, Rion was still too young to step there.

After all, Kak Lintang must be afraid that his life story repeated to his two daughters. Married because of parental intervention. Like his marriage to the late brother Rezki.

Oh my God, may this matter pass soon.
