PROOF OF LOVE FOR THE STARS

71 Without wings

Zoya

In the room I stared at the rosy kebaya I was going to wear tomorrow. All-white clothes with sequins that are arranged very luxuriously. I smiled touching her the clothes neatly attached to a mannequin.

"Aunty Rara's hand is magical." Praise me because 3 days ago when fitting, this kebaya game has not got the final touch. Me and Bi just tried the size. And everything is fitting without having to make another reshuffle.

I shower and change clothes. Because magrib's time is coming soon.

After the magrib prayer, dinner and Isya prayer, Bi and I returned to our room. We need to rest. And no one's parents allowed us to stay up late.

"Tomorrow, don't make your eyes swollen from staying up late." That's mama's message.

"Don't let you guys yawn throughout the show. Ugly ntar in the photo." Mother Una said.

"Be aware that your face is not fresh! Don't let the best Aunt Rara dress in history not match your tired face!" Ck! Narcissist wife of Sky.

"Yes. yeah..."

I sat on the bed, staring at the room I had been sleeping in. The room that became a true witness of the affection of Mama Lintang, a witness to the quarrel between me and Bi and many more memories in this room.

I turned to look at the photo of papa Rezki and mama arum that I collaged in one frame.

I took a picture standing straight up on that nightstand. I hugged and I shed my tears.

"Mama, papa. Zoya is getting married tomorrow." I stroked the photo surface.

"Mama papa came yes..." I smiled at the photo whose glass was wet with tears.

"Look at Zoya and Bi being the bride."

"Without papa." My shoulders are shaking violently.

Married directly by papa figure. It was a dream for me and the stars.

If papa was still around, I wouldn't be able to marry him directly either. Because I wasn't sent to papa. Except for my mom.

I snuggled up on the bed. All this time I was able to get great affection from papa Akhtar and mama Lintang. But for some reason before my happy day the figure of my mother became very, very much missed.

Especially when warmly Ezra's father hugged him. Even without her mother, she still has a father.

Me? Everything was gone even when I was born.

Preparing for a wedding without the figure of mom and dad also makes me confused every time I make a decision. Mama Lintang and Papa Akhtar have been very busy with all the preparations.

If Mama Arum and Papa Rezki were still around, everything would be much happier.

Satya's father and Mother Una did help me. Everyone was trying to keep me and Bi from being too busy and bothered.

Not ungrateful, I just feel it now. If parents are wings for their children. Then I realized that both of my wings had been broken for a long time. Or maybe I was born without wings?

"Ma, hug Zoy just once." Whiney.

"Oma's gone, too."

I felt my bed shake. And a warm hug came from behind. I turned.

The star with tears battering his cheek was also sobbing.

"Do we feel the same?" ask Stars.

*do we feel the same?

Me and Bi sat cross-legged on the bed.

"Hi pa..." Bi took the frame in my hand.

"Newly this time papa Akhtar can not replace papa." Shoulders shaking.

"Newly this time Papa Akhtar can't be our superhero."

"And tomorrow, Papa Akhtar can't replace papa shaking Rion's hand to Bi." The stars wiped away her tears. I leaned on the shoulder of the Star.

"Pa, just this time everything hurt Bi so much."

"If the love of Mama Lintang and papa Akhtar is the antidote, then tomorrow there will be a wound without an antidote."

"Bye..." I rubbed the Star's arm. "All will be well."

"How else are we going to let go of single time."

"May the vicious cycle not be repeated, Bi."

"Don't make ourselves another 'Latitude and Arum."

"Don't present another 'Zoya and Star."

Stars nodded.

"We got married because of our choice Zoy."

"We are married in a good way, God willing."

I heard another sobbing sound. From the outside. Me and Bi looked at each other. "Mama" we said without a sound.

We jumped straight from the bed. I held the door handle, it turned out that the door had opened a little.

His sobs meant he heard everything.

"Mamaaaa..." We hugged my mom.

Only mutual sobs were heard.

"I'm sorry, baby."

"No, ma!"

"Sir, ma. Mama's not wrong."

"Come on ma." Me and Bi led Mom into the room.

"We're down, baby. There is an image below. Oma also doesn't seem okay." Mama said in the middle of her sobs.

What is the image of Ora reminiscing about the figure of papa who should be an important part tomorrow?

We walked to the back yard. Because the inside of the house will be decorated entirely. EO officers resumed their duties after Isya prayers.

Oma Citra sat on the sofa that was indeed moved in the back.

Mama stroked our heads to see him immediately.

"Mom..." Me and Bi sat flanking the oma.

"Where? Deg-degan huh?" I knew the question was just to distract her grief.

"Rubber." We embrace the oma whose skin has begun to wrinkle and the body is getting thinner because of diabetes.

"Oma, tomorrow's a lot of cake loh."

"Yes, continues?" ask the oma to Bi.

"Don't eat too much." I laughed hearing Bi who seemed to be advising the boy.

"Let's blood sugar go up again." Oma nodded.

"Oma should stay healthy. Who knows next year Zoya is already a great-grandchild." Show Bi to me.

I hold up my seat. " What a hell am I, Bi."

"Well, Ezra's a grown-up Zoy. Once stirring guarantee it directly so."

Oma laughed when she heard us argue. Though Zoya's red and swollen eyes are still clearly visible.

"Rion can also make you pregnant."

"But the seedlings are not yet ripe like Ezra."

Oma laughed more.

"uh right? Oma just agreed that you love a great-grandchild first."

"Oma's happy to have a great-grandchild?" I asked as that grim face turned into a happy laugh.

Oma nodded. "Happy, baby." Her soft hand stroked my head.

"okay oma. Great-grandson oma soon on the way." I hugged oma.

"Don't be sad again, Oma."

"Zoya is just as good as Bi."

"Oma kangen papa right?"

Oma looked at me and Bi took turns. Then nod.

"It feels like it's a lot of oma." Bi clasped oma's hand.

"But tomorrow is only a day. We can all stand tall without papa for 24 years."

"We can get through tomorrow." My next.

Me and Bi looked at each other. And I saw doubt in his eyes.

Same as me. Not sure if tomorrow will be easy.
