"You've come home Bin, is everything all right..?" asked Mery who saw the Star had returned home, but with a face that was difficult to understand.
"Yeah good Mer, how come you haven't slept either..?" ask the stars as they walk to the bathroom.
"I'm waiting for you to come home, and want to know how you are with Sister Yumie." replied Mery who did not want to hide her curiosity.
"Indeed me and Brother Yumie why, no way, Mer.." said the star who just came out of the bathroom, then approached Mery who was sitting while watching television.
"So, that's what Yumie said to you, dong Bin's story." pinta Mery who was curious.
Then the stars told Mery everything, with nothing to cover. Mery who heard it only nodded his head, and sighed deeply.
"So you haven't answered anything dong, Bin..?" mery asked after hearing all the Star stories.
"Not yet Mer, tomorrow. There's still plenty of time, let's go to sleep." take the Star while laying her body on the bed.
"So I can't wait for tomorrow, Hee.. You sleep first Bin, I'm still not sleepy.." exclaimed Mery who was still watching television.
"I have to give you an answer, but even you are impatient. Strange, hehee.." said the Star with a small laugh.
"And I'm curious about how you guys are going to Bin, keep telling me what answer to Kak Yumie..?" asked Mery who was curious about what answer the Stars would give to Yumie.
"There is, a secret. Yes, I slept first." said the Star who has now closed his eyes.
"Yahh, this child uses the secrets of all else, mmmh.." exclaimed Mery who also spread his body beside the Star.
In another room, Yumie was trying to close her eyes. But the shadow of the Star's face continued to be present in his mind, making it difficult for him to sleep.
"Why does he keep remembering anyway,mmmmh.. Just met, it felt like I missed again." said Yumie with a rough sigh.
"Did he feel the same way as I do..?" yumie asked inwardly, then closed her eyes again.
~***********~
"Mery, later if Brother Yumie comes to eat again, you are the nyamperin yaa.. I'm going to the warehouse first, finish the books there.." said the Star as he walked up the stairs, towards the warehouse that was upstairs.
"Yeah Bin, I'm done with you." cried Mery while laughing.
Shortly after, Yumie also came with a face that was so bright. He was carrying a food box and a drink in his hand.
"Assalamu'alaikum Mer, is busy cleaning up." said Yumie with a big smile.
"Yeah, sister Yumie, it's normal that this morning. Want to find a Star, sister..?" ask Mery.
"No Mer, just want to drink this food and drink for you two. Ohh yeah, which star..?" ask Yumie who hasn't seen a star since.
"The other stars sorted out the books in Kak's barn, upstairs. Does Brother Yumie want me to anterin to the top..?" mery asked with a smile.
"Ohh, no need Mer, he must be busy. Then I'll go home first." said Yumie.
"Yyaa Kak Yumie, thank you for the food." exclaimed Mery.
"Just like Mery, wassalamu'alaikum.."
"Wa'alaikumsalam, now it's time for breakfast again,hee." said Mery while opening the food box in his hand, and he tasted the food a little. Then after that continue his work again, while listening to music that He likes.

The waiting time had arrived, Yumie had just finished getting ready to meet the Star in the halls not far from her home. This time she put on more beautiful makeup than before, her heart so happy after telling the Stars about her feelings all along. But on the other hand, he also felt anxious about the answer that Star would give him later.
"Yeah ma'am, be careful on the road." said Nani who immediately went into Arya's room to accompany her to sleep.
Yumie rushes to where she and the Star came yesterday, and it doesn't take long for Yumie to arrive. So also with the stars, which have also arrived.
"You just came Bin, because I'm late." exclaimed Yumie, smiling at the stars.
"Yeah, Sister." Reply to the Stars while sitting next to Yumie.
"Have you eaten, Bin..?" ask Yumie.
"Yes, my brother..?" reply Stars.
"Well, too,mmmm.. How Bin, can you answer my question yesterday now..?"
Yumie again reminded Bintang, of the question that Star had not yet answered. Now he looked at the face of the Star, waiting for what the Star would say.
"Maybe Yumie's sister knew from Mery, about my love story all along. Which often ends up disappointing, and therefore also until now I choose for myself." said Bintang.
"About how Yumie feels about me, I really appreciate it. But I'm sorry, I can't return that brother's feelings. I'm not ready to feel disappointed anymore, sorry I ya, sister.." explained Bintang, staring at Yumie who now looks sad after hearing the words of the Star.
"Yeah Bin, it's okay. I can understand that, maybe you still need some time. But I really love you so much, maybe now you can't repay me. But I hope, someday you will be able to return my feelings to you, Bin.." said Yumie while trying to smile and wipe her tears.
"I don't want to give any hope, because we don't know what will happen. I'm glad that Brother Yumie can understand, and I hope that Brother won't be angry with me.."
Said the Star who felt guilty, for making the woman beside him sad and cry. But he also could not force his heart to feel the same way, as Yumie had felt for him.
"I'm not angry with Bin, because I also can't possibly force you to reciprocate my feelings. At least I was relieved, now I no longer need to cover my feelings as you.." said Yumie who tried to hold back her tears so as not to fall.
"Thank you, sister, once again I'm sorry." exclaimed the Star.
"Yeah Bin, I'm sorry about that too. If all this time, maybe my attitude and attention make you feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable." said Yumie with a smile that He forced.
"Yes it's okay, brother, it's me who should apologize because so far has been a lot of ngerepotin.." reply Star.
Both of them are now just silent with their respective feelings, Yumie feels very sad. Because of what he had been feeling in the Star, the Star did not feel it. He clapped his hand, and it was very painful for him.
"Star.." cried Yumie.
"Yes, sister, what's the matter..?" asked the Star, while looking at Yumie's face with a trace of tears still imprinted in the corner of her eyes.
"What do you think I'm not beautiful and not attractive..? There's not a single part of me that can interest you..?"
Yumie asks the Star which makes her confused about what to answer, because she does not want the answer to make Yumie hope. But on the other hand he also cannot lie by saying, that Yumie is not beautiful and attractive. It would definitely offend Yumie later, or even make her hate him.
"Anyone will be interested in Yumie's sister, but what I said earlier has nothing to do with the physical matter." replied the Star.
"Why Bin, is it because I am a widow and have a child..?" ask Yumie who increasingly wants to know clearly, what is the reason Bintang can not return his love.
"Sir, not because of that. But indeed my heart is not ready and does not want, to establish a relationship with anyone. So please, Brother, don't think that's not it." explained the Star.
"Yeah Bin, I know now. But I will wait for you until you are ready and willing to open your heart to me." said Yumie who did not want to give up on her feelings for the Stars.
The star that heard was silent, and took a deep breath. He still does not want to think about love, love that has only disappointed him and shed tears...
Seriate...
