THE STAR OF HEAVEN
PART 88'S
Diva cradled her mobile phone "What would it be if the recording I edited a little. Then I send it to the media with the theme, the real father was able to fuck his own biological son?"
Zalynda's eyes widened "Diva, that's a terrible slander!! You know that's not true!"
Diva laughed, Anggun also chuckled at the look of fear on Zalynda's face
"I have a friend who is good at editing. It will look so real." Diva stood up while showing her phone
"With a single tap, this news will reach the hands of the reporters' friends. It's gonna be hotter. Especially shadowing the face of Mr. Ardhi and Bu Aya."
Zalynda growled "I have never cursed you. Why are you so bad to me?"
Diva squinted her eyes "Not evil?! You put Papa in jail, you got us kicked out of the house, you took my position as the main model, you!!"
Zalynda. It seems that the brain nerve of Diva is not connected properly so the girl instead blames Zalynda for what happened to her.
"Diva, I've never been after the main model position. Mother gave it to him. I didn't know what the case was until you were kicked out of Grandpa's house. About om Yono.."
Zalynda's words were paused
"Om Yono deserves it.."
"You!!" Anggun returned to attack Zalynda but was blocked by Sumi
"Ma, that's it." said Diva a little loudly. Anggunpun stopped his action while snorting
Diva is back to seeing her phone
"What sin did Ray commit to meet you. Because of you, the Al Farobi family and the Pratama family will return to be media outlets. You're a fucking carrier, Linda.."
Zalynda closed her eyes. Diva's words managed to re-injure her. Slowly Zalynda opened her eyes staring at the hateful gaze of Anggun and Diva. Sumi still faithfully hugged Zalynda, just in case the two men did not return to physically hurt Zalynda
"What do you want?" Ask Zalynda quietly
The Diva snorted as she looked towards Zalynda with a condescending look.
"Pull all your demands on Papa. Release Papa."
Zalynda nodded slowly. Then the girl nodded
"Well, I'll tell Ray to withdraw his charges." Zalynda's words sounded unwilling
Diva pulled the tip of her lips "After that leave Ray and Al Farobi's family."
Zalynda gasped at the crazy demands of the Diva. Freeing Yono might still be doable, but leaving Ray behind? Zalynda nodded
"No, I can't." said Zalynda, shaking her head
"I'm the one who decides, not you. I'll give you three days. For those three days, you've had to free Papa and get out of Ray's life." Diva said with a sly smile. Diva and Graceful walked away. Just a few steps, Diva turned around
"One more time, if I hear you tell someone about today's incident, then I don't have to wait three days to spread this video."
Diva and Anggun again walked out of the Al Farobi family home, leaving the trembling Zalynda in Sumi's arms
"Non." said Sumi
Zalynda looked at Sumi while shaking her head. The girl's eyes were already wet with tears
"Please don't tell anyone yes, Sumi."
"But non.."
Sumi's speech came to a halt as Zalynda placed her index finger on Zalynda's vibrating lips
Sumi just nodded slowly. The housekeeper only saw Zalynda's back climbing the stairs to Ray's room
As Ray's door closed, Sumi pulled out her phone from her skirt pocket.
"Callo.."

Ray looked at Zalynda who looked glum. His eyes turned to the television but Ray was sure the girl's mind was wandering. The girl only ate a little at dinner.
Ray touched Zalynda's hand. The girl gasped a little for a second and Zalynda was able to restore her countenance and give Ray the sweetest smile
"What's Za?" Ask Ray
Zalynda nodded slowly. "There's nothing, Ray."
Ray pulled Zalynda's chin to look at him
"I don't believe it. Za's story, what are you thinking?"
Zalynda bit her lip. Hopefully Ray will listen to him "I.I only remember about Yono."
Ray's jaw tightened slightly hearing Zalynda mention Yono's name
"Why do you remember the people who have done evil to you, Za?!" Ask Ray
Zalynda immediately rubbed Ray's arm to calm the young man down
"It's not so Ray.I was thinking, if om Yono was in prison then how the fate of aunt Anggun and Diva."
Ray snorted "You think of them? Did when they carved you they think about how you felt?"
"Ray.."
"Originally you know, Za. Yesterday Papa managed to collect evidence of Yono corruption in full at the Wijaya Group company. That would add several years to his sentence. Not only that, grandfather seems to have returned home and kicked out the Diva as well as Aunt Anggun."
Zalynda shut her mouth. So that's why it was hysterical this morning? Think Zalynda
Ray sniffed his shoulder "Either. Don't think about them. After all when you ran away from the Wijaya family home, they did not think of you either."
A feeling of pity rested on Zalynda's heart. The girl also re-thought of the Diva threat. Zalynda took Ray's hand and held it. The two face each other
"Ray, I have a request.. Promise me you'll get it." Zalynda
"What is that.."
Zalynda looked doubtful, but the threat of Diva came back to his mind. The girl took a breath to strengthen her heart
"Please release Yono.."
Ray's reflexes pulling his hand from Zalynda made the girl surprised
"You realize what you're saying is Za? You're asking me to release Yono? Have you been g.." Ray restrained himself from uttering swear words in front of Zalynda
"It's unclear!" Ray finally said
"Ray, please. Aunt Anggun and Diva have never lived a hard life before. They must have suffered a lot after Yono went to prison. I don't want them to hold grudges, that's enough. Let it stop here.. I'm sure Yono will change anyway.."
Zalynda bit her lip. His heart doubted the last sentence Zalynda spoke
Ray stared at Zalynda. The girl felt faint as she looked at the eyes of Ray's eagle staring at her as if to ask, what happened
"Tomorrow I'll process." Ray finally answered. The young man snorted violently and got out of bed
"Where are you going?" Ask Za
"Get out for a second, get wind." Answer Ray briefly.
The young man closed the door hard enough that Zalynda jumped in shock.
"Astaghfirullah.." sizzled Zalynda who immediately stroked his chest
Zalynda was grateful Ray didn't question her.
"Is this a sign that I should leave Ray?" Zalynda was sad
Suddenly Zalynda's phone rang, Diva's name on the screen. Zalynda picked him up immediately
"Assalamu'analykum.."
"Where? Ray wants to free Papa?" Ask Diva across there
Zalynda sighed "Said Ray, tomorrow will be in process."
There was a laugh of the Diva across the street
"Good, that means tomorrow you have to get out of Ray."
"Div.I can't.."
"You want me to spread this video?"
"Don't!" Zalynda said quickly
"Then leave Ray!"
Diva just turned off her phone. Zalynda stared at his phone
"God.what should I do?" The whisper of Zalynda slowly.
Zalynda buried her head in the pillow and shouted as she pleased, channeling the vexation of her heart as she felt herself helpless against the Diva
***
Zalynda looked at the back of Ray who was his priest during the tahajud. Looks like Ray is busy dhikir
"Ray.." call Zalynda slowly
Ray. The young man immediately turned his body and sat down cross-legged, facing off against Zalynda
"Yes?"
"Today you will withdraw all your demands to om Yono?"
Ray breathed a heavy sigh. The young man looked towards Zalynda
"Are you sure you want to be free of Yono?"
I want Zalynda to shake. But remembering the threat of the Diva, making Zalynda nod weakly
Ray pulled the tip of his lips while stroking Zalynda's head that was covered in white face
"Did I ever tell you I was gonna look after you, protect you?"
Zalynda chuckled softly "You say that every day."
Ray smiled as well. "Shubuh soon. I'm going to the mosque."
Zalynda looked at Ray's back as he left. There was a sense of haru popping in the chest, as if today was the last day the girl was praying together with Ray
After the door closed, Zalynda was stunned in the blue. Today Zalynda is determined to leave Ray and everyone who loves him
Adzan shubuh. A prayer does not forget Zalynda pinned in between waiting for iqomah.
"May all always be happy and receive the protection of God.."
