Pursuing My Love of Hands
Angry Byan



Since the last time they met, Byan and Asmara have never appeared again. The two disappeared each other, busying themselves each other, but the two were still thinking about each other.


As happened to Asmara this time, work became unfocused. His brain asked to throw away the incident the other day with Byan. But his heart refused, his feelings still continue to keep the name Byan.


"Mara, what do you really want? Stop thinking about it," Mara continued muttering inwardly. He didn't realize that someone was approaching him.


"Beautiful Aunt," called Star hugging Mara's body tightly.


"Star" Mara receives a warm hug from the boy she misses. Some days he didn't see her, he thought Star was getting adorable.


"Aunty how are you, long time we haven't met?"


"Well, Aunt misses Star" said Mara pinching Star's cheek and then hugging her back.


Mara's eyes were looking for someone she didn't see. Usually Sumi accompanied Star, but this time she did not see him.


"Where is Mba Sumi?" Mara asked curiously who Star was coming to her cake shop with today. Moreover, it is a school holiday.


"Star is not with Mba Sumi,"


"Then? Is Star only with the Kurds?" Ask Mara again.


Star just shook his head, then he smiled.


"Don't tell me Star's here by herself!" Mara begins to worry due to Star's unusual behavior.


Star shook her head again. "Well guess who Star's here with?"


"Who?" Mara even became confused, he could not stop thinking if Star is now inviting him to play guessing.


"Beautiful Aunt, Star will introduce her man" Star also invites Mara out of her cake shop by pulling Mara's hand.


After exiting, Star pointed to a man across the street who had just come out to buy Ice Cream in a mini market.


"That's it, Papa!" call Star to her Papa with a shouting voice.


Hearing his daughter's voice calling, Byan turned to the direction of the sound. But his eyes were instantly unable to blink again after seeing who the woman who was now with Star was, Byan wanted to retreat but that was impossible.


"Father!" Shouted Star once again, it also made Byan try to fight his selfishness. He soon crossed the street and came to his daughter with a woman he had known.


I don't know what Mara's feeling right now after knowing Star called the man across there 'Papa'. Should she be sad now, or should she be happy? He's still confused. Only an increasingly tight heartbeat now enveloped him.


"No way!" Inner Mara, when she saw Byan was now clearly displayed in front of her.


"Star ..." Byan tried to be ordinary in front of Mara, he also tried to be calm because there was a Star with them. In fact, at this time he wanted to be very angry and vent his emotions.


"Where's the Ice Cream, Pa?" Asked Star who charged the Ice Cream that he had ordered to Byan.


"Here," Byan handed her a chocolate-flavored Ice Cream to her daughter.


Star smiled, then she took Ice Cream from her Papa's hand. But the unexpected happened, Star instead gave the Ice Cream to Mara.


"Beautiful aunt, this is for Auntie ..." With a happy smile, Star wished Mara would accept her gift of Ice Cream.


"Star, thank you ..." Mara also received the Ice Cream with an uncaring feeling.


Many negative thoughts byan against Mara at this time. He decided to call the driver and his babysitter to come here soon.


"Pa, why call Mba Sumi?" Star who heard Byan call Sumi suddenly asked.


"Star, Papa has a sudden job business" said Byan in a cold tone but eyes that glanced towards Mara who is now sculpting.


"Didn't Papa promise to get Star to play with Auntie Gorgeous?"


"Star ..." Byan doesn't know how to explain it. Byan has promised Star, but after finding out if his new friend is Mara, everything becomes chaotic for him.


"Star, we'll play next time. Today Papa is busy, dear .." with a soft tone, Mara tries to give understanding to Star.


"But Auntie's not busy, is she?" Ask Star in a spoiled tone to Mara.


"Today Aunt has to go to the hospital" Mara said, gently rubbing Star's head.


"Did you drive Grandma?"


"Star was right, Auntie had to take Grandma to the Doctor,"


Seeing her daughter so familiar and obedient to Mara Byan became annoyed. Whether since when they knew each other, Byan's premonition became erratic. But when seen by his eyes, Star loved Mara so much. And so is Mara, no! Maybe this time Mara was just playing a show, that was Byan's current mind.


After Sumi and Pak Kurdi came to bring Star home, it was Byan's turn to finish his business.


"When have you approached Star?" Tanya Byan did not want to mince words after Star left with Sumi and Pak Kurdi.


"Mas, let's talk inside," Mara felt bad that many people were passing by outside, so she asked Byan to come inside her shop. Byan followed Mara from behind, until she arrived at Mara's office.


"What exactly is your purpose?" Byan's eyes stared at Mara sharply. There were many questions he wanted to know from his heart.


"Mas, I don't have any purpose! At first I really didn't know if Star was your son, really ..."


"Never approach Star again," Byan did not want to talk much, he only gave a small warning to Mara. Byan also chose to leave Asmara.


But Mara did not stay silent, before Byan went Mara immediately held him by blocking his hand. Mara felt she had to solve this problem as soon as possible so that there would be no more misunderstandings between the two of them.


"Mas, is Star Bin-tang?"


At that moment Byan's steps stopped, he quickly turned his body and pushed Mara to hit the wall.


Byan grabbed her body and squeezed Mara. The sharp gaze of Byan's eyes was filled with emotion, he scoured every corner of Mara's face. Then he held onto Asmara's chin and pressed it firmly until Mara was in pain.


"Never go near my daughter, especially if you hurt her. I will never forgive you!!"


Finished with his threat, Byan also threw the face of Asmara that he had held firmly to cause traces of redness.


There were not many words that Mara could say, even she could only hold back the pain she had just received. The pain of Byan's treatment, as well as the pain that pierced his heart were deep.


Mara's reddened eyes had now released Tears of pain. Aware of her Eye Water, Mara rubbed her face violently.


Byan realized that, he did not want to linger near Mara. It would only tear apart his heart. He decided to leave Asmara.
