Rina exhaled violently, she who was initially afraid of arguing with Anjas, now even had to watch the debate between Anjas and Arya.
"All right, now let me do the talking. Star problem ... according to what was stated in the DNA test you brought in a week ago, the child is indeed your biological child." Rina looked at Anjas with a confident look on her face. His eyes did not even look shaky, indicating that the woman was already convinced of what he wanted to say next.
Rina also changed the call to Anjas to be more relaxed, so that in this conversation there was no feeling stiff or awkward, so they could freely express their opinions.
Arya and Anjas are sitting quietly, waiting for the decision that Rina made for Bintang and Anjas.
Anjas appears to smile when he hears that Rina admits that the Star is her biological child. Whereas since long ago, Rina had admitted all that, only Anjas was the one who did not want to admit it.
"But, to get custody, I can't share it. I'm willing to take the law if that's what you want!" firmly Lina, she hid her tightly clenched hand under the table.
Anjas seemed to widen his eyes, he was so surprised by what was now Rina's decision, this was much different from what he had been thinking. It turned out that now Rina had completely changed.
"Can't! You can't be so selfish, Rina! However, the Star is my biological child .. My blood is in her body and I deserve it just as much as you!" Anjas did not accept, he raised his voice in front of Rina, his gaze so sharp as if he was bullying the woman before him.
However, it seemed like Rina was not provoked by Anjas' emotions, she only responded with a faint smile while nodding faintly, it seemed like Anjas' words had been guessed before. Although her marriage to Anjas was short, however, Rina already knew enough about Anjas's nature.
''I allow if indeed you wish to meet with the Stars, of course with my consent. I'll also tell Bintang that you're his biological father. It's just not if you want to take the Star from me, even if it's only half of my custody," Rina said in a calm tone.
"You may not know how much pain I feel because of your legion. I even repeatedly thought about ending my life, because of the pressure we put on us, during our marriage, until we finally separated," said Rina in a still calm voice, even though his heart still feels sore when remembering the past that is so painful.
"You don't know how I fought to the point of dying while giving birth to a Star. Then, how difficult it was when I found the child hot high in the middle of the night, while it was raining heavily so that it could not go outside the house, because of access to the landslide road."
Lina shed her tears as she recalled the various heartbreaking events she had to endure by herself, with no place for her to lean on. Caring for children while working with a love of grief that is so painful in the mind.
"You know, who's coming hard the next morning, driving for hours, crashing in the rain in the middle of the night, then walking in the middle of the landslide, he said, for the sake of providing treatment for the Star who was almost unconscious?" asked Rina who was answered by a faint head by Anjas.
The man is now seen looking down, hiding his guilt, having been absent beside Rina during her most difficult time with the Stars.
Rina chuckled incisively, she then turned to Arya who was sitting next to her. His hand held the hand of the man who had sacrificed much for his life and the Star. The man who patiently waited for her to heal the wound, without ever forcing his will.
"He's the guy. Arya was always quick to help me and came in when I needed help." Lina looked at Arya with tenderness and gratitude.
Arya returned Rina's hand gently, she smiled sincerely with a happy heart. Didn't expect Rina to speak like that in front of Anjas.
"You are my happiness, and I have never found it difficult to always protect you both," Arya replied softly, rubbing Lina's cheek, removing the trace of tears there.
"Thank you" said Rina Lirih. He then looked at Anjas, before continuing his words.
"You know how much it hurts when the stars get insults from those around them? The four-year-old was blasphemed and blatantly cursed .. he received every insult with his own ears!" The tears of Rina broke, that was the time that made her feel most failed as a mother, in protecting her child.
"They say that the stars are illegitimate children! The child who is not clear who is the father, the child who does not have a father! Then, who do you think I should blame for all that?!" Rina slightly raised her voice, as her emotions were now completely unstoppable.
Arya stroked Lina's hands gently, trying to give strength to the woman who had always reigned in her heart. Recalling the wounds that Rina had so hard to forget was indeed not an easy matter, she knew that.
"Now, you come to me with a piece of paper that says DNA test, just to ask for custody? I can't even believe we can do this to me and the Stars." Lina spoke again after her heart calmed down a little. His voice was so soft that the pain was felt by the two men there.
"Is separating a child who has never been separated from his mother a good thing? Moreover, until now even the Stars still consider you as a stranger." Rina rubbed the trace of tears on her cheeks, her crying had stopped and now she was sitting quietly as before.
"Also, do you know how to explain to Tari and your parents? Moreover, now there is Syafira in your midst. And they never even knew about our marriage." Rina looked at Anjas with doubtful eyes.
"Wouldn't it be better if we just erase the past between us. We're the only people who know you're the Star's real father, without prolonging the problems and complicating things."
Rina ended her long speech, which left Anjas speechless. The man seemed to start to soften, as it was also Lina who was weak, unwilling to oppose Anjas out loud.
Arya smiled, she felt proud of the woman beside her. She also did not think that Rina could control her emotions and speak quite calmly, even though there were tears between her words.
The atmosphere turned silent for a moment, Rina and Arya both fell silent in silence, waiting for the answer Anjas would give after Rina revealed most of her hurt feelings.
However, Anjas had not yet decided, a rowdy voice suddenly sounded outside the room, making Rina, Arya, and Anjas distract him. They were just about to move to see the condition, when suddenly the door was opened from the outside by someone they clearly knew.
In front of the door, you can see Dari standing with her breath up and down. Behind him were several people holding a camera, like recording an incident.
"Look, the owner of this restaurant has been having an affair with my husband!" scream Dance, like a professional selebgram.
"What's this?" rina asked as she stood up, followed by Arya and Anjas behind her.
Dazed gazes were now visible from Rina, Arya, and Anjas, especially Rina who had been clearly accused by Tari. Although he has not understood the current situation, but, the words of Dance are clearly heard in his ears.
Arya who saw the confused Rina directly held the woman's hand, then carried her back, until she advanced in front of Rina.
"What are you doing, Dance! Turn off the camera now!" arya said in a cold tone, although it still sounded polite.
"No way, this is all punishment for an actor like him. Let him accept the blasphemy from everyone, so that he can feel what I feel!" refute Tari, while continuing to push want to hit Rina, although it always fails because it is blocked by Arya.
"I'm not a lasher! We're in this room also three, on what basis do you accuse me of having an affair with your husband?" Rina who could control herself now spoke up.
Anjas who had time to sculpt, now approaching Tari, he pulled the woman's hand, holding her back so as not to do trouble in place of people especially it was Rina's.
"What the fuck are you, Dance?!" jolt Anjas, while holding Tari's body.
"What's? I just want to defend our household from the temptations of that actor!" replied Tari with anger, while looking at Rina sharply.
"Become embarrassed! Let's go home!" Anjas was about to pull Tari out of the room, but Tari restrained her body.
"Look, because of the actor, now my husband has the heart to be rude to me, hicks!" Dari talks to one of the cameras, she pretends to cry as if she is a woman who is very persecuted due to the relationship of Rina and Anjas.
Rina looked at Tari with her surprised face, it turned out that besides being easy to get along with Dance, she was also good at role-playing.
