WOMEN WITHOUT TEARS

Flame is Recorded

That feeling made the stars very sad. It was as if Bintang was forced to immediately acknowledge his status as an orphan.

Not finished with that, Bintang has been forced again to recognize the power of the new regime, namely Tari and its ambitions. They must obey and obey the regime. If not, they will be deported dishonorably.

If Bintang does not ask for college leave, he will be able to stay in the dormitory. Hibernate in dorm room. Until the college is over. But in reality, Bintang had just applied for a college leave. Prefer to find work to learn to support their own daily needs. Do not want to disturb the savings that have been prepared papi and mami.

Because stars look ahead, they must learn to make their own money. It starts from now. That is why the stars choose to work. Have your own income. That's why the stars have to go home to their parents. Never crossed his mind would live one house with Dance.

Dance is too ambitious to immediately become a 'master' at their parents' house. In the name of tradition, Tari feels as the sole heir. Because Anton's the only boy. The papi name. Other family members, named women, should be removed.

What if the Stars turned against Anton. In the name of the law, Anton is only a child. Not have full inheritance rights. Except for their gifts, namely Bila and Bintang. So Dance don't push yourself too hard to take over.

"Hush !...Don't you ever say that. That's entirely Anton's right" Bila said.

At that time the middle star complained to Bila, in the room Bila. Well.now they have more discussion in the room. The dining room and family room, now seems to have no function anymore.

When papi and mami are still around, the living room and dining room are where they gather, every morning and night. The room became their favorite because it was filled with their aura of warmth and harmony. But now the room was quiet, cold and dark.

"That's the Star, what Bang Anton didn't tell Tari. If he's a baby picking up papi and mami. The wives must be honest with each other, brother"

"Yes...But to express that, is Anton's right"

"To the stars, papi and mami are honest. Bikang to Bintang, if Bang Anton was picked up"

"Yes...Because papi and mami feel responsible for saying it to you. However, your attitude towards Anton, papi and mami will still be responsible for the commitment of those who raised Anton as a child. So both of us, don't reveal it in front of anyone. Especially in front of Dance, Happy or Anton children later. No, yes"

The stars ponder the words When it. If the Stars oppose Anton as part of them, just because of Dance. Itiu means Star against Happy.

Happy must be out of papi's legacy. Poor Happy who knows nothing. The stars are with Happy more often. Than Happy with Dance.

Stars can't be that bad with Happy. In any case Happy is his nephew and will remain his nephew. Son of Anton who was legally martyred, as a son of papi and mami.

But must live one house with Dance ?. Until when ?. Imagining tomorrow changing, the stars feel reluctant. Moreover, imagine a lot of tomorrow that must be passed by the Stars with Dance in this house.

Hopefully, Tari doesn't bother her room either. Because only this room is a safe place to be silent. Can pray, think clearly and hide from the evil intentions of Dance.

While on the journey of contemplation for tomorrow, the stars hear the sound of Happy's cry. His little heart called to see Happy immediately.

It turns out that Happy is in the arms of Mbak Min who is crying loudly.

"Why Happy, Madam Min" asked the Star. While taking Happy from Min's mother.

"THE bottle's gone, ma'am"

"Susu formula aja yesterday dibellin Bang Anton"

"It's over too"

"Ooo.ya already. I'm calling Karina"

"Miss Karina ?...Friends of the Star Ma'am ?"

"Yes...He's now a midwife in a 24-hour maternity clinic at the end of the street of our house"

"Oooooo-o...Neng Karina's there anyway"

"Yes...Hopefully he's got baby formula stock"

The star called Karina.

"okay...Thank you, Karin"

"There, ma'am" said the Star.

"Thankful, huh. If so, I want to continue my work, mbak"

"Yes"

While waiting for a delivery of milk from Karina, Bintang tagged Happy. Sing to Happy and fondle him. Then Happy's cry subsided. Replaced with her sweet little laugh.

With Happy, the stars feel peace. All the sadness and problems are gone. It often doesn't feel like the days have passed, the time with Happy.

Stars also do not feel tired of caring for and caring for Happy. Bathe her, give her milk, cuddle. And then I joke with Happy again. It gives meaning to happiness for the stars.

One time when the Star was holding Happy in the family room, from the tail of her eyes; the Star saw Dari stepping into the house with wide steps.

That is how Dance is. Always with quick steps. Like a heavy man. His steps were noisy too. Just like his mouth. Because his leg was dragged. It was as if his legs were reluctant to carry his fat body.

Dance jerked in surprise. See the Star carrying Happy. Taripun out of style, own shame and own responsibility****** that. Dance had no treasury of words to express such a good situation, yaiti Bintang and Happy closeness.

The treasury of the words Dance is just a diatribe, a curse and an oath of absorbency. Dancing is shocked, seeing Happy soundly in the stars. Spontaneously shouting.

"Bibiiiiii !!!!....Bi Minah !. My sports uniform for tomorrow, ironed not yet ?!"

"Already, mom"

"Tarok where !"

"Ironized term"

"It's ironed or not yet !?"

"Already, mom"

"Why is it still spelled iron !. Bring it to the room !:

"Yes, mom"

Happy is also excited. Heard his mother's loud voice. But to the Stars, the attitude of the Dance caused anxiety in his heart. Because it could be that holding Happy is a problem for Dance and is affected by the assistants in this house.

For example today. Never before has Dari been in trouble about his clothes.Did it have been washed or not. Already ironed or not. But today Tari is fighting it in front of the stars. When the stars carry Happy.

Things like this can lead to a fierce fight. Between the Stars and Dance.

In order to avoid that. Soon the Stars bring Happy to the ex-papi room and their mami. Laying Happy on his parents' bed first. Then stand still for a moment. Staring around the room with his longing for papi and mami.

The star paid no heed to Dance who was staring intently at him. The dance is already restless and is starting to cringe. Gathering his courage to immediately expel the Star from the room. Until his body shivered. Forcing his guts to grow. Dare to act as his emotions command.

Before the dance's guts got bigger and the emotions exploded, it was fortunate that the Star had already come out of the room. Breathing dance relieved. Although his emotions still burned his head.

As soon as the Star came out, Dari hurriedly closed the door of the room by throwing it strong. The loud noise it makes must represent the anger of Dance towards the Stars. The star realized that and kept it in his heart.

But Happy is not. Because a few seconds later, there was the sound of Happy crying. Want the Star to turn around to hold Happy. But his intentions should be kept as well.

That's the attitude of a mature person's thinking. Bad things that can still be ignored, must be ignored. Unfortunately, Dari is not the adult.

When Anton just came home from work, Dari greeted him by standing around his waist in front of the door of the old papi and mami room that they had now complained about, so their room. Then bombard Anton with anger. Make an accusation report with a shouting voice.

"You know, the star came into this room. Look at our stuff. He must have stolen !"***
