Pursuing My Love of Hands

Star Wish

"I know you don't like Byan, but please don't force me to stop liking him, it never will, Steve,"

"Mara ..."

"I'm sorry, I'll never be able to return your feelings, I'm sorry Steve," Mara fell down, tears now dripping on her face.

"I'm sorry again" continued Mara.

"Mara," Steven's footsteps began to advance, he was about to prevent Mara's departure by grabbing her hand.

"Stop Steve, let me go."

Mara ran away leaving Steven alone. He explained everything to Steven. About his father's scandal ten years ago, something that was quite a relief for him. At least, there will be no more misunderstandings between Steve, Byan and himself.

He also does not want if Steven continues to approach him, because all of that will be in vain. Mara will never be able to love Steven, because her heart is locked. Of course the owner of the key was Byan.

Feeling that his business was complete with Steven, Mara immediately went to a place. Where he had to meet Star at his school.

Time has shown the clock home, finally the person he is waiting for has revealed his form.

"Aante!" Shouted Star from a distance.

Mara could already hear that loud voice even from such a distance away. He waved at Star with a bright smile.

"Mara, man,"

The voice of someone shocked Mara at this moment. When he looked back, how surprised he was to find out who was next to him.

"U-mi?"

Mara's body felt stiff, her feelings became unpleasant because now her former mother-in-law was right next to her.

"Want to see you, Star?" Ask Andryani.

"Oh, that's me ..."

Mara had not finished her words, Star had come to him and Andryani. Star alternately shook the hands of the two adult women in front of him now.

"Omma is here too?"

"Yes, dear," Andryani held Star's chin in a frenzy.

"Omma, can Star go home with Auntie?" Star hopes to get permission from Andryani.

"Star, why do you want to go home with aunty?" Andryani asked inquisitively.

"Omma won't allow it?" Star had already started to show her manyun face.

"Sure, Omma allow. But ask Aunty first, will you not trouble her?"

Mara's heart was so tight, she thought Andryani would leave her to meet Star. It turned out that she even got permission from her former father-in-law. A little grateful, but many things are considered Mara at this time. Especially his bad feelings.

"Umi, Star is never a hassle. Can I take her somewhere today?"

"Alright then," Andryani did not want Mara to feel stiff or awkward towards him. Mara is a good woman and loves Star very much. His love is not in doubt. Andryani believes Mara can be trusted to keep Star.

"Omma, tomorrow's holiday. Star wants to stay at Aunt's house," whined Star.

"Star, we're just going for a walk" Mara doesn't understand Star's whining this time asking Andryani for permission to stay at her house.

Starting today Star is off school, though Mara doesn't want Star to stay at her house. He was afraid that this would be known to Byan. Because he himself has made a promise to no longer connect with the Malik family. Now he himself denies it.

"Star, tonight we have to go to Seoul. Doesn't Star want to come?" Ask Andryani. Because according to the plan, tonight they and their families will vacation in Seoul as well as visit Byan.

"Seoul??" Star seems not to understand the words of Ommanya. His eyes continued to turn upwards, a sign of thinking hard.

"Star, wouldn't we go to Papa on school days?" Andryani explains this to Star, but her eyes are on Mara.

Seeing the strange look of her former in-laws, Mara felt that something was wrong. But he immediately dismissed his feelings. He hoped that Andryani's gaze had no purpose.

"Papa?" Star suddenly rolled her eyes. He was so surprised and happy.

"Umi, if you want to go to Seoul ..."

Suddenly it makes Mara surprised mixed in panic. That's not what he wanted to say. Out of nowhere Star could have guessed that. With her mouth still open, Mara stared at Andryani. He immediately straightened out a speech that he had not been able to finish earlier.

"Republic, Star. Because tonight Star has to travel far, then we just delay it first huh, the streets?"

"Well, why did it have to be delayed." Star now showed her disappointed face.

"Star, Aunt is currently working a lot of work," Mara again looked for an excuse. Hope to get some understanding from Star.

"Tante, come with Star. We can meet Papa," Star holds Mara's hands.

Mara's eyes are getting more and more festering, she doesn't understand why Star is doing this. If he came with Star to Seoul, it is not impossible that he will be beaten by Byan. Not only in the hit, it could have been Byan directly kill him.

"Omma, can Auntie come with us?" Ask Star to Andryani.

"Eum ..." Andryani shows her thinking face while looking at Mara's face.

At such a glance, Mara felt increasingly misbehaved. It was like he refused Star's request, but somehow his mouth seemed to be silent could not be opened.

"Omma, yes .." woo Star to Andryani.

"Of course, Omma will be very happy if Aunt Mara comes with us" replied Andryani.

"Umi, I ..."

"Mara, just this once please realize Star's wish. Umi hope you can," Andryani patted Mara's shoulder slowly. He then went with the Kurdish sir to leave Mara and star.

Mara's feelings were mixed, how could she not resist Star's wishes? Of course his heart is currently uncertain.

"Tante, come!"

The words of Star awaken Mara from the reverie. He then took Star into his car.

"Tante, Star is happy. We're finally going on vacation together,"

"Star, Aunt is really sorry. Looks like Aunt can't come,"

"Why? Is it because of Papa?"

"No, nothing to do with Papa, Star"

"Tante, Papa once gave something to Star," Star suddenly remembered something.

"What?"

Star opened her bag, looking around for the whereabouts of an object that Byan had given her a few months before going to Seoul.

"This," after finding it, Star showed it to Mara.

Mara's eyes widened, he immediately stopped the speed of his car. He grabbed the object from Star's hand and watched it intensely.

"Star, where did you get this locket?"

"From Papa," replied the plain Star.

"Papa? Star sure?" Mara's question convinced Star. Because he was really confused why the locket was with Byan. All this time he searched everywhere.

"Yes, before Papa leaves. When we were at the airport, Papa gave this pendant to Star. Papa said Star should give it to Auntie Pretty," Star explained honestly.

"Why is this locket with Papa?"

"Star doesn't know, Auntie can ask Papa directly after we get to Seoul,"

"Star, Aunt can't come," Mara still refuses Star's request.

"Aunty, don't you want to see Papa?"

"Star ..." Mara took a long breath. He didn't know what else to say to Star.

"Tante, come. Star wants you two not to fight anymore. Aren't you tired, even if you're far away, but you keep fighting?"
