Title: You Are My Star (Part 2)

_________________________

After breakfast, I went back to my room. Getting there, I immediately opened the shipment. I was surprised to see something inside. A yellow star-shaped object in the middle of which says my name. Shasa Adel Prisky. Written in red ink. It has a key on each side. As soon as I opened, the music immediately sounded from that thing. The song Fur Elise. Works of famous musician Beethoven. It was a music box! It's exquisite. I'm confused, who sent you something this good? I immediately picked up my phone on the table. I don't know why I typed 1 name on the screen. Star. The Star mobile number immediately appeared on the screen. The number I memorized. Numbers that I don't even know if still apply. Suddenly I pressed the call button. I don't know what made me do it. It was as if my body was working on its own. There was a continuous tone from across it. 1 time. 2 times. 3 times. I immediately pressed the reject button. I am afraid of what I will hear later. Will the stars lift it? Or someone else? Who'sis that? Family, friends, friends, or... Girlfriend? I don't know. I don't know the answer. No. gabe. I fear.

Today is a special day. 1 December 2012. The birthday of the Star. Today Santy and I re-wrote our hopes and feelings.

Dear Stars…

Star, where are you now?

I miss you

I would love to see you even for a minute

Stars, there's a lot I want to tell you

A great many…

Oh yeah, happy birthday…

I always loved you

p. s. I Love U

When it was over, Santy took me to a normal place to fly this paper plane.

'Santy, especially for today we have it somewhere else?' I said half begging.

'Other place? Where's where?' Ask santy.

'Anyway, the place is good. Later that night I'll pick you up, let's go there together.'

'OK deh.'

'Thank you, darling. I'll pick you up at 10…'

'Crazy ones! Will it be a paper plane or do it? Haha…'

'Just son! It has to be at that hour, so the view is better. You must have seen the place. Oh yeah, I'm first. Then my class started. Bye pug, see you at 10.' I said as I headed to my lecture room.

At 10am I was in front of Santy's house. It was basically never on time, I still had to wait for him to change clothes.

'Waiting later, huh? Sory ya darling.' Santy said when she saw my face being bent.

'Yeah, it's okay. I was cepet hunted. If the kemaleman usually tuh place to be the center of courtship.' I said as I got into the car.

'Fourings place? Where are you taking me anyway? Don't tell me to take me to the localization.'

'Oh, that's so fucking random! It can't be! Crazy to such a place.'

'Hahaha.. After the departure of malem really. It is said to be a dating center. Especially if it's not a place of localization?'

'Udah ah, diem! It's a sacred place for me, don't be mocked.' I said while putting on a pouting face.

'Hahaha.. Iya deeeehhh... What is the place anyway? So curious.'

'Eat him diem, let's spit!'

About half an hour later, we arrived at the place in question. Santy had protested because to get to that place, we still had to follow the rocky path.

'Why not tell me if you want to go this way? I know I can change my shoes.' Omel Santy was wearing high heels. It is not too high, but with shoes like that, it is able to make him slip several times. I can only smile. Indeed, I wanted to tell him to change shoes, but came up with a prank idea to work on it. Who told him to wear those shoes? Wrong yourself, right?

'Sory deh's. It was in a hurry anyway, so do not want anymore if it turns out there is a road like gini.'

'Auuwww…! I can't take it anymore. Fucking shoes!' santy said when she slipped to the other. He immediately opened his shoes and just took them off.

After a few minutes of walking, we finally arrived. The Hill Of Stars. That's how I and the stars call this place. We gave the name according to his circumstances. From here, we can see thousands of stars very clearly. It felt like we were so close. As close as I was, I could touch the stars with my own hands.

'Welcome to my world.' I said to Santy who stared in amazement.

'Shasa, this is so cool. The oath!' He said without a blink.

'I said what too. This is a sacred place for me.'

'You must know this place from the stars right?' Ask Santy.

'yes. I know this place from him. He said this was a secret place for him. Only he knows, not even his parents know. But I don't know why he wanted to show me this place.'

'That means you're special to him Sha. You have a place in her heart.'

'It's not possible. If that's true, why is he leaving now? I'm not telling you where and until now never told me.' I said sad.

'You're bener. Everything has to have a reason. I don't know what, but I still believe in him. Believe the Stars.' I said. The smile returned to my lips.

'Yes, if so. Now, it's time we make our paper planes. As usual, on the count of three.'

'1…'

'2…'

'3…'

Our paper plane is back. Flying through the star-filled night sky.

'Bintaaanggg!!! I love kamuuu…!!!' My yelling broke the silence of the night.

'Bintaaannggg…!!! You bego if you do not love Shasaaaa…!!!' Santy also shouted. We then laughed at each other. After that we screamed again. Take out everything we feel. Letting everything be carried away by the night wind.

December 1, 2013.

It has been a year since I visited this place. Since the Star's birthday one year ago. Tonight, I don't know why I want to go to this place so much. But I went alone. Not with Santy. I was surprised when I saw someone standing staring at the stars. Who her? Isn't it just me, Star and Santy who know this place? Near here is often used as a center for dating, but the distance is still far from here. Suddenly the man turned around. As soon as I saw his face, I stood looking like a ghost. She... How is it possible?

'Bin... Star?' I said without hiding my surprise.

'Hi Shasa. I haven't seen you for a long time.' he said with a smile. I wouldn't believe it was a star if I didn't see her smile. The way he smiled that only pulled the corner of his lips up was very similar to the Star I had known all along. Not to mention his mole that was under his eyes. He really is a star!

'Ka.... Why are you here?'

'Can't really? This is our secret place. Remember?'

'Where have you been all this time? Why leave all of a sudden? Why never tell?'

Various kinds of questions that have always been on my mind I let out. I don't care about our secret place, about The Hill Of Stars. I just want answers.

'Sha, I miss you.' That's all that comes out of her lips. I'm speechless. There are still a lot of questions I want to ask, but they all seem to be stuck. I was shocked to hear what he had just said.

'You miss me? You who went to leave me, have the same feeling of kangen me? You never think how I feel? You never think I miss you or not? So now you come suddenly and say that you miss me?!'

'Sha, I'm sorry. I love you.'

'Then why did you leave that time? Why do you leave me that way? You torture me to know? I've always thought of you, always worried about you. But what makes me sick, I don't know what the reason is until I have to wait for you like gini. We have no relationship, but I always think of you. It made me sick to the stars.' After saying that, my tears fell one by one. Rolling wet my cheeks.

'I'm going to Australia…'

'You are outrageous. Disappeared this long and popped up all of a sudden and kept saying you were from Australia. You're talking like you just got home from vacation.'

'I'm sick…'

I went back to hearing the words of the stars.

'Get sick? What pain?'

'Leukemia. I need to be treated and take chemotherapy. That's why my parents agreed to take me to Australia. I'm not telling you because I don't want you to worry. But now I'm healed. I'm not sick anymore.'

'Star.' That's all that comes out of my lips. The rest are just tears that keep falling. The star stretched out its arms and hugged me. Not a single word came out. Only silence threw its anchor and we were caught in that situation.

'For Shasa.' What a familiar voice in my ear.

'Morning.' I greeted back with a smile.

Ever since the events of The Hill Of Stars that night, me and the Stars have been back to what they used to be. It even gets closer. I've never daydreamed like I used to. Precisely now Santy who often daydreams alone. 'If I knew I'd be out of the way because of the stars, mending you don't have to meet him.' Santy protested a few days ago because I rarely spend time with him. I know Santy didn't seriously say that. Because when I told him about my reunion with the Stars, Santy was the person who was the most excited and enthusiastic about hearing it.

Tonight the Stars took me to The Hill Of Stars. But for some reason, he closed my eyes since he got in the car. Being led by the Star, I walked carefully. Hope not to fall.

'Well, now you can open your eyes.' said the Star as soon as we arrived.

I opened my eyes slowly. The first thing I saw was thousands of stars scattered in the sky. Like a Christmas lamp that adorns heaven.

'Sha, now you look down.' The stars again. I'm confused, why look down? Are there no stars in the sky? But I still follow the stars. Just now I was about to walk to the edge of the hill, colorful lantern lights flew into the air. Lots of and very beautiful. There are 1 of the largest lanterns below which are hung with a paper that says You Are My Star.

'I... Is this you who nyiapin?' I asked while looking in amazement at those lanterns.

'I'm not nyiapin myself. I helped Santy too.'

'Star, you know. I don't know what to say.. It's so beautiful.'

'You don't have to say anything. Enough to be the star that's always been there for me.'

'Without you asking, I'm willing to be a star for you.'

'Please Shasa.. I Love U..' said the Star as she softly kissed my forehead.

Unknowingly my tears rolled. I was so happy I couldn't say anything. But I found my star. The star is hidden behind the clouds. My own star will never leave again. Stars, I Love U too. U Are My Star's. My Only Star's.
