PROOF OF LOVE FOR THE STARS

58 When?

Star

Late in the afternoon, around 3 o'clock we chose to take a walk to enjoy the natural beauty around the villa.

But not the name Rion if not curious to explore various tourist attractions in this Lembang area.

We stopped at a cafe after passing through a steep and branching road. We're only seven. I, Zoya, Rion, Ezra, Nath and Nair. Lovely chose to stay because mom papa, mother and father Satya will go somewhere to enjoy the atmosphere of the afternoon here.

"It's so cool to see, brother!" Rion cried to me. We were in a cafe with a long table made of wood and sitting on a beanbag cushion sofa.

In front of us was a sight that was soothing to the eyes.

"Prewed here must be cool. Isn't that brother?" Ask me.

"Photographers are free, Ethan is a sponsor." He's laughing a little.

"Print free photos, om Sponsored Josep." The six of us just listened to Rion's chatter without anyone interrupting.

"Villa free, from brother Zoy." He laughed again. And I saw Zoya put her eyebrows together. I can't stand to laugh.

"Eating free from bang Ezra." Ezra was stunned to hear his name also called.

Rion subscribes to people who will participate in the prewedding photo process she designed herself.

I chuckled at him so enthusiastically.

"Byeah, the first night is up to seven. Bi belongs to us and family." Zoya teases Rion.

"Ah, nganggur dong I sis."

"What can be alone." He pretended to be upset.

"It's also your own custom, Yon!" Nair spoke up. Rarely did he join.

"Kan Pas is not married to Nair. If you married in your own room. Issa!" Rion scratched his temple. "Bengong doang dong I got."

"Huhahah." Nath's laughter exploded. Nothing is funny. I'm sure his mind is funny.

"As far as you are, Yon does what."

"Wall rake, cake."

"Talk together roll, cake."

"You want to play soap. Llkkkkkk!" Nath blasts his laughter, followed by Ezra and Shaka.

"So.. Not my level playing with Nath's soap!" I folded my arms around the chest looking at the irritated Rion. Rion was indeed sitting in front of me with Nair, and Shaka.

Zoya and I sat next to Ezra and Nath.

"Related?" Nath moved his eyebrows up and down.

"Concure yourself!"

"So what's the exit?" Shaka asks who tried to lure Rion.

"Go out of his will."

What is this chat? I don't understand.

Zoya

In the evening we held a barbeque event in the backyard of the villa. The star-studded sky adds to the warm impression of our event.

Mama, mother, me and Bintang sat at an outdoor dining table made of stone. While the men were busy baking.

Rion carried a large plate of cooked grilled fish.

"Chef Rion, come!" Excited pleased. Rion put the ready-to-eat fish near the rice and sambal that we have arranged on the table.

"That's great, Yon." I said as the smoke billowing over it pierced my sense of smell.

"Clearly, the next owner of R cafe."

"Try on rasain sis." His order. Rion sat next to me.

I stabbed the fish meat with a fork. Put a small piece in my mouth.

"Hey hot, Yon!"

"Slow down brother."

I began to chew and feel the savory taste and sweetness of the fish meat that was still fresh mingled dancing on my tongue.

"Ehhhmm." I jabbed my thumb at him. "Feed." I said after I swallowed the food in my mouth.

Rion stood up and bowed many times. "Thank you, chef Zoya."

"Gruby." Said Nath who put a plate of grilled soziz.

Stars chuckles.

"Owner Arumi Resto senses his taste is impossible to miss."

The others laughed at Rion's words.

"It's really good, isn't it?"

"Really, Yon. Delicious." I convinced him but I laughed softly.

Bi chuckles with Nath.

"Sister Zoy is not convincing." Rion said as he sat back down.

We ate together. "Hopefully we're here already someone brought a baby." Dad's prayer made me cough.

"Open..uhuukkk."

"Slack Zoy." Ezra thrust a glass of water at me.

I picked it up and gulped it down to the toilet.

The others laughed even Bi as well.

The night is rising. Dad, mom and dad went into the room. Me, Lovely and Bi slept in the room. Nair, Nath, Ezra, Shaka and Rion sleep in a room with extra mattresses.

We were still sitting watching tv just Lovely had entered the room.

I took Ezra to sit on the balcony. I need to talk to him.

"What's up Zoy?"

"It's so cold this way."

"We need to talk, Zra."

"What's Zoy about?"

"Yes yesterday Zra."

"I'm ready to take you anywhere."

Ezra glued to me. Did I speak wrong? Or was my decision wrong? Or has he changed his mind to stay at my house?

"You serious, Zoy?" Ezra straightened his seat.

"I'm serious, Zra." I remember my mother's advice to obey and go wherever my husband lives.

Mama and papa couldn't have let me live in an unworthy place.

And I'm sure Ezra will do what's best for me.

I've been to his house. The house he rented in a house. And I don't think it's too small for both of us to live in.

We just need one bedroom. One bathroom, kitchen and living room that can be combined into a family room?

Ezra smile. His hand touched my head that was covered in hijab.

"I can't promise you anything, Zoy."

"But I'm trying my best for you."

"I know you with all your life. God willing, nothing has changed. Nothing will change."

"Maybe it's just that you separated from your parents."

I was fascinated to see it so seriously. His face looked happy but I knew he wasn't kidding.

"Hopefully we can solve every problem and debate with a cool head." I said expectantly.

"Amen. That's why you don't be stubborn. Do not be the husband." Ezra pulled out his hand which he put on top of my head.

"Depends on what it used to be." I said facing forward. Letting her keep staring at me at the side.

"Well. Get out again stubborn."

"Huhahah." We laughed together.

"Zra, after marriage. Can I still hold Arumi Resto?" Ask her. This should also be discussed.

Ezra nodded.

"Related?" I tilted my head. I smiled seeing him.

"Related, baby."

Blushes.

I straightened my seat. I make sure my face blushes.

"Then we talked after the wedding."

"When do we want to marry Zoy."

I saw him back.

"When do you want it?" Ask me.

"Why do we always talk about life after marriage. But the wedding we never discussed?"

"DW..."

"Hum..."

"I really want to marry a star."

I saw Ezra frowning.

"Yes Zra, I want that."

"We were born on the same day. We're the same wound."

"We live from the same ASI."

"We lived 20 years together." Yeah, I'm 24 now and I started living with them when I was 4.

"Am I exaggerating if I want to give up my single life on the same day as her."

"No problem, Zoy."

I was quiet for quite a while.

"Then, what's the problem?"

"I don't want no reception Zra."

Ezra kept looking at me. "Why, Zoy? Isn't the reception part of every girl's dream wedding?"

My tears are dripping. "Am I worth dreaming about that, Zra?"

"I was just afraid to hear the invited guests whispering to me. A child born without marriage."

Because only a handful of people know that the late Papa Rezki was my biological father. Some people just know I'm Arum's mom's son. Pregnant without a husband. Some people even think I'm Akhtar's son.

Ezra smiled at me. "We're not going to do the reception."

"Would you not if after the wedding we umrah?"

"Praying in the holy land for our marriage. For both your parents and for my mother?"

I looked at Ezra with tears dripping down my cheeks. I'm nodding.

"Thank you Zra for accepting me. With all my flaws."

"You're a blessing, Zoy. God must have a reason to bring you into this world."

"And the reason is me. I'm waiting for you as my rib."

"Thank you for accepting this imperfect Ezra."

I wiped my tears with the end of my sweater.

"Let's go in Zoy. It's cold outside."

"You hug you but you can't." His words pulled me in.

You hold back, Zra?
