THE STAR OF HEAVEN

PART 45'S

Many think daylight is a time that gives so much life because most people are awake and working. But actually, at night in certain times that give life.

In peace and silence, that is the secret. In the last third of the night, that's life. That is the best time to hunt for the source of life because the last third of the night is one of the mustajab times to pray and prepare early to face the day

The clock shows at 3 am when Ray finished delivering all his wishes and prayers to the Universal Ruler. Ray turned to the bed where Zalynda was still wrapped in a blanket covering her innocent body

Ray approached Zalynda. Ray's hand slowly stroked Zalynda's head. The girl's face looked very innocent while she was asleep, making Ray pull the tip of her lips. The girl looked tired after their long night

Ray's mind is fixed on some documents and old newspaper cutouts that Ima gave in the restaurant. Ray immediately went to his room then read the document sheet by sheet

"FAW, daughter of a businessman ensnared Article 338 and Article 340 of the KUHP juncto Article 53 of the KUHP on attempted murder. The judge sentenced him to 25 years in prison minus his prison term.

FAW and his partner DP are caught in a villa in the Bogor area after committing a felony act of kidnapping and attempted murder against TEF daughter of the FGC family.."

Ray read seriously the news from old newspaper cutouts. Ray then turned to the next page

"Suspected to have suffered a psychiatric shock, the daughter of a major FAW businessman is now being treated at Healing Soul Mental Hospital."

Ray recalled the conversation with Ima at the restaurant

FLASHBACKS

"According to the prison warden on duty, Farah had a very good attitude while in prison. Apparently prison life can forge itself into a better person." Ima said while submitting some documentation of activities in prison 25 years ago

Ray saw some photos of the prisoners. Some work cleaning rutans, some help in the kitchen and some activities while studying. Ray's eyes only focused on the photo of a woman who was somewhat similar to Zalynda

"It's aunty.in this photo her stomach is slightly enlarged." Point Ray at a photo during sports activities at the rutan

Ima sighed "This is a secret case, Ray. Om Wijaya shut everyone's mouth at the time to keep Farah's pregnancy a secret from the media."

"Pregnant?" Ray said with squeaking eyes. Honestly, Ray also just found out about this secret news after Ray reopened the news about Farah and asked Leo

Ima nodded. "There are several letters from the prison hospital. Looks like Farah really wants her baby alive, the proof is that she's regularly checking her womb."

"Did Aunt Ima know the biological father of the baby Farah was born with?"

"Nobody knows. Farah never said who the baby's father was. But it seems like this person knows." said Ima while showing a photo.

Ray looked at the photo carefully. The woman's face was not foreign

"He's Lela, Farah's best friend in prison. Lela was released a few months before Farah gave birth. Lela also often visited Farah in rutan, in addition to om Wijaya." Ima

Ray read back the old newspaper piece that Ima brought

"Who's Farah's partner, auntie? DP?"

"Somewhere is he now. Whether he's in jail or not, I don't know. Why Ray?" Ask Ima

Ray's knocking on the table. His face was thinking of something "I feel like I can question this DP. If he was Farah's partner, he'd know a little about Farah."

Ima shrugged her shoulders "Maybe yes, maybe not. But there is no harm in trying. You know, this is the guy who used to gang up on your dad and stuff his booze so he went to the hospital jealous, Farah prefers your dad over him."

"really? He's jealous of you?" Ray raised one eyebrow. Ima nodded

"He was given the initials DP, Daniel Pratama.."

Ray was still staring at the old newspaper cutout he had just read

"Daniel Pratama is named after the newly appointed senior manager of TecnoTek. The name market means." Ray said softly while chuckling

Ray looks at the old photos that Ima provided in a secret document. Ray's eyes stared at the photo of a smiling woman next to Farah

"It feels like this face is not foreign..I saw where ya.." murmured Ray

***

This morning Zalynda woke up late. It seems like Ray accidentally turned off the alarm faster and let Zalynda fall asleep longer after their long night. Zalynda blinked slowly as she felt a chill on her face and body

"Ray.." Zalynda looked at the smiling Ray in front of her. The young man was holding a washcloth soaked in cold water and then swept it over Zalynda's face and arms. It's a pretty weird way to wake up, according to Zalynda

"Wake, beautiful. It's like five o'clock you haven't fucked."

Zalynda's eyes immediately opened and looked towards her alarm clock. Right said Ray, soon five in the morning.

"Oh, I don't wake you up I'm Ray."

Zalynda immediately wrapped her innocent body in a blanket and got out of her bed with a limp step. Ray chuckles to see Zalynda enter the bathroom complete with a blanket, then the girl re-opens the bathroom door slightly to take out her blanket

"No need to close Za, I've memorized the places." Ray said a little loudly. Ray was sure Zalynda heard Ray's sentence with a face that immediately blushed adorable

Zalynda immediately cleaned himself up and fulfilled his late shajuh obligations. Afterwards, the girl rushed out to prepare breakfast

Zalynda was stunned to see some warm food and drinks available on the table. A burly arm shuts itself from behind with a citrusy scent that Zalynda always yearns for

"Morning, pretty." Ray's whispers while he kisses Zalynda's head

"Ray..this is you doing everything?" Zalynda asked as she held onto Ray's arm which hugged her body. His eyes were still scrutinizing the dish on the table

"Mmm. Drink it I made. If it's food, there's a sale below." Ray said honestly

Zalynda laughed at Ray's honesty. Ray immediately turned Zalynda's body to face him

"I'm sorry yes, yesterday morning I was a little rude to you and a little ignored you. Why don't you protest?" Ray asked as he stroked Zalynda's head

Hearing that, Zalynda simply bowed while shaking her head. Ray immediately raised Zalynda's chin to make the girl look at him

"Remember Doctor Adina's words? You have to dare to express what you feel, Za. I know you were sad and angry yesterday too. But why didn't you say that?"

Zalynda's eyes blinked at Ray "I'm afraid you're uncomfortable with me, Ray. I'm afraid to trouble you, I'm afraid.."

Ray cuts off Zalynda's words by landing a soft kiss on the girl's lips. Ray let go of his kiss and looked into Zalynda's beautiful eyes

"Next time I said yes. Ombongo. Not in the sniffers themselves. A little complaining will not make you stamped as an ungrateful person. Understood?" Ray smiled as he wiped Zalynda's wet lips with his thumb

Zalynda nodded

"Speak, Za."

"I-Yes Ray, I understand.." Zalynda nodded as she spoke. Ray smiled and hugged his beloved girl
