Pursuing My Love of Hands

The past dilemma

"When have you guys been doing this behind my back, huh???" After finishing giving a warning to Mara today, Byan now changed to interrogate Mr. Kurdi and Sumi when he arrived at his home.

"Kurdish sir, Sumi?" Byan asked full of angry looks. Byan's emotions this time were extremely fiery. He was so sorry for the actions of his two employees for lying to him.

But Mr. Kurdi and Sumi just silenced not dare to say anything. Seeing Byan angry like this made both mentally like crackers that were being splashed by Water.

"Java!!!" Byan now had two horns out.

"Byan, what's going on?" Andryani who heard the commotion in the living room immediately approached with a feeling of surprise. He did not understand why Byan was so angry with Mr. Kurdi and Sumi.

"Sir kurdi, Sumi, I asked once again! Or you two I fired!!"

"Byan, enough! You can speak well with a cold head, how come you can be this loud?" Andryani was perplexed by her son's harsh actions towards their employees.

"Sir, please don't fire us," now that Sumi began to speak up, she covered her palms with regret hoping that Byan would forgive their actions.

"Actually, Non Star has known the woman since we came to the orphanage. Since then, Non Star has kept asking us to take her to see the woman, I'm sorry sir" explained Sumi with a trembling voice accompanied by so tight a cry.

"Do you know who that woman is?" Andryani asked in response with a headband by Sumi and Pak Kurdi.

"Byan, who's the woman you're talking about? Did he hurt Star? Why are you so angry?" Andryani asked full investigation to Byan.

"From today on, I don't want Star to meet that woman again, whatever the reason!!"

Byan this time was really angry, to make both of them afraid and did not dare to do anything. Without him noticing, from behind the walls Star saw everything. Star heard all the adults talk and made her cry.

Not wanting to be caught, Star ran into his room. I don't know what's wrong Auntie Beautiful, until her Dad won't let her meet him.

After he finished giving a warning to Sumi and Pak Kurdi, Byan went straight into his room. But as he was about to enter the room, he heard the sound of crying from inside Star's room.

His feelings were mixed, he was afraid something would happen to his daughter until he decided to go straight into Star's room.

Byan was surprised to find Star curled up with a sobbing cry.

"Star, what's up, son?" Byan immediately approached Star and tried to hug her.

However Star immediately brushed aside Byan's hand, resisting a hug from Byan.

"Star," Byan tried to be more patient with Star this time. He believes Star's cry this time has something to do with Asmara.

"Papa, what's wrong Auntie Beautiful? Why didn't Papa let Star meet him?" Star's whining was exactly as Byan had expected.

"Star, Papa doesn't forbid Star from making friends or meeting anyone, except that stranger,"

"The aunt is not a stranger, Pa!" Shouted Star, he felt unacceptable because his father called Mara a stranger.

"Honey, there's no need to defend her excessively. Papa just wanted to protect you, Papa did everything because he wanted the best for you," Byan almost went on a blackboard knowing that Star would rather defend Mara. But he tries to be more patient again because Star is a child who needs guidance and does not know many things.

"Star, understand. Everything Papa does is best for our family,"

"But what's wrong with that beautiful Aunt, Pa?"

"Would Star take a break soon, Papa would read a fairy tale to Star," Byan tried to divert the conversation, he immediately pulled a blanket for Star.

Star obeyed his Papa's orders, and he listened to the fairy tale that Byan had read to him, closing his eyes.

After Star fell asleep, Byan decided to get out of his daughter's room. When he was about to close the door, Byan was surprised by the presence of Andryani who is now waiting for him by folding both hands in front of the chest.

"Miss??"

"Byan, what's going on?" Andryani asked in full investigation, because Byan had not yet given an explanation to him.

"It's nothing, it's just a small problem," explained Byan did not want to be at length and tried to cover up the issue of romance from Andryani.

"Byan, if this is a small matter, why are you such a frightened person? Who is that woman, actually?"

"Umi, Byan can handle it. Umi don't worry!" Byan just walked into his room leaving Andryani.

While Andryani is getting furious with the attitude of Byan who is so stubborn and selfish. He can only massage his forehead which increasingly feels throbbing due to the actions of his son.

...****************...

Recalling what happened to him today, he felt that Byan was a different figure from the day before.

Previously Byan was like so close to him, dared to touch him, but left him just like that. Today Byan came back, but with a different figure. A tough figure, even creepy for Mara.

Mara thought, what did Byan really want with her? Why does it come in a changing form?

Not to mention the Star problem, he did not expect that Star was a Star. I don't know what fate God planned for her that she had to experience this and meet people in her past.

If you would know this, maybe he prefers not to live in Jakarta. But all that can not be regretted, considering the source of the reserves he got is in this Capital City.

"Mara, did something happen?" Kamila asked to see her daughter daydreaming on the porch of her House.

"Mother, there's nothing." Mara just smiled in response to her mother's question.

"Mom noticed these few days it seems like you're not okay, tell Mom, maybe I can help,"

"Mother, Star ..."

Mara could no longer continue her words, she immediately embraced her mother's body.

"You met a star?" Ask kamila curious.

"Star, he's grown up, ma'am. She was also smart and beautiful," Mara imagined the face of the Star she so longed for. But on the other hand, the shadow of Byan's face that was angry with him also filled his mind.

"Mom doesn't know what's really going on, but I'm sure you can work through this, you're strong, Mara."

Mara felt a little calm when she had told her mother a glimmer of the problem even though not all of it. Regarding Byan, he had not dared to say anything. He better be quiet and wait for the right time while thinking about how to solve the complicated problems he faced this time.

After meeting with Byan, Mara was no longer able to sleep well. His mind just keeps running everywhere. His memory also turned back when he was with Byan.
