Prologues

..."Tear drops will be the prologue in this story."...

----------

       "Dancing with old songs, and watched by thousands of people. Will I be able to dance in the Paris theater this year?" the girl looked to the side.

       "It seems like it can't." An answer that made the girl's face pout.

       "If I'm not with you."

       A warm stroke on his head, made the girl smile happily.

"We're going to go to Paris together, which means we're always together, and that's forever."

       "I was expecting it too."

       "meaning?" the girl was confused by the man next to her.

       "Forget it, hmm want some ice cream?" Bargain the man.

        The girl shook her head, she saw the sellers around them, and one of the sellers distracted her.

       "Athar!" call the girl.

       "Yes!"

       "Don't you see the seller?" Point, which was immediately followed by Athar's view.

       "Toy the propeller, I want it" he asked.

        The man named Athar smiled. "Wait a minute, I'll buy it."

        The girl closed her eyes, enjoying the night breeze while listening to the music playing on the edge of the park. The feeling he's always wanted for good, to be a bodyguard in his life. He ended the silence, seeing some of the children laughing happily, making him think back to his childhood.

        "It!" Athar gave the toy to the girl who was cool looking at the little children playing.

        "Thank you."

        The girl immediately played it, until the blowing and blowing of the night wind into one made the propeller spin. A beautiful smile appeared on the face, making Athar smile to see it. As he looked at a beautiful creation of God, some children approached them.

        "Sister! Do you know how to play this?" one of the kids gave her a toy.

       "What is this toy?" ask Athar.

       "It's a bubble toy that's a dolphin, but Elis's just as Elis' friends don't know how to play it" explained the little boy.

       Athar smiled as well. "I helped these kids first, didn't I?" said Athar who got the nod from the girl.

       "Yuk there." Athar also walked with some of the children.

        Dei, the girl smiled happily looking at the figure of the man with some children playing.At once her two beautiful eyes looked up, the star-studded night sky became the center. Dei smiled, with the little hope he asked God, that he and such a perfect man would always be together.

        But the smile faded away. Dei looked back at the sky that night, thinking what if God did not grant his wish, would he be able to accept it?

        Dei doesn't know what to do if it happens. Because other than his family, the man he was seeing right now was someone very valuable in his life. Like a candle that needs its axis to shine.

        The children who played with Athar one by one went to go home, as well as Athar who was walking to his girl.

        "When?" ask Athar with a sweet smile.

         "Actually I still want to be here, to see bin.... " Dei's speech came to a halt as he looked at the sky.

         While Athar chuckles at it. "it seems like the stars are asking us to go home."

         Dei pouted, and stared again at the sky. The night sky that a few hours ago was filled with thousands of stars, was now covered with cloudy clouds. He wanted to spend the night with Athar before he left for Paris.

        "Jaudah come home, next time we see the stars again" Athar said.

        "But in two days we're going to Paris."

        "And we can see the stars there, even more beautifully."

        Dei did not answer, instead he walked first towards the parking lot, while Athar only followed him from later on.

       Almost at 22:00 pm they are still on the road, Dei deliberately asked Athar to take his bike slowly. He wants to feel the last night of Indonesia with Athar just the two.

But while enjoying the atmosphere of the night, one by one the water droplets have fallen to the earth even hit the two of them.

        "Athar drizzle!" said Dei.

        "That's a sign that the heavens are longing for the earth" Athar replied.

        "Isss Athar is serious, I think it's going to be hard!"

        "Judah we stop at the nearest stop."

         Because the rain was quite heavy and their house was still far away, they finally chose to take shelter at one of the stops. It was very quiet at the time, there were only the two of them with the sound of rain accompanying them.

         "I'm really looking forward to going to Paris, it's been almost three months that I haven't danced because it's preparation for the graduation exam.But! Two more days my dream will come true, with you." Dei said amidst the commotion the sound of rain, while Athar only replied with a smile.

         "Dey!" call Athar to the girl who is focusing on seeing the rain.

         "Yes!"

         "Hm! If i'm.... " Just as Athar was about to speak, a motorcycle with two men approached the stop where they were taking shelter.

         Dei who saw that, slightly shifted closer to Athar. The two men went down and took shelter with them. The silence returned without anyone wanting to speak a bit, while there was no sign the rain would stop.

         Dei was a little uncomfortable with the two people beside him, but he always thought positively that they were both the same as him and Athar, just to take shelter. But, just now Dei wanted to talk to Athar, one of the men beside him pointing a gun at them.

        "Give me all your stuff." Said the stranger.

        Athar instantly pulled Dei behind him. While Dei was silent, what he thought was apparently right.

       "QUICK SURRENDER!"

       Athar immediately kicked the hand of the man holding the gun, and managed to get the gun out of his grasp.

        "Damn it!" as the man said.

BUGH!

         Athar also did not want to lose, he returned the blow to make the man in front of him quite difficult to compensate for his body.

BUGH!

          "ATHAR! ahhh, PLEASE...." Dei shouted again when he saw another man hit Athar. Even Dei had asked for help even though he knew it was impossible for anyone to be in the rain right now.

         Athar slightly lost his balance, but when he saw one of the men approaching Dei, he immediately stood up to her.

         "DON'T TOUCH HIM...." Shouts Athar emotion.

         "Don't move... If you don't want this girl to die." Said the man while pointing the gun right in front of Dei.

         Dei fell silent, his brain seemed to stop to think, looking at the already weak Athar and a final shadow of his story. And there are only a few sentences on his mind now, a sentence that he did not long shadow right.

       He thought what if God did not grant his wish!

       "Aragh!" Athar fell when someone hit him on the back. He is no longer strong, but Athar is still trying to save the girl.

       "ATHARIE..."

       "SILENCE.."

       "Give me all your stuff, if you and your girlfriend don't want to die."

        Dei who had been silent could only give away all the Goods he had brought, and what Dei was thinking about now was the state of Athar who had fallen weakly on the wet stop floor. He wanted to help Athar, but Dei was afraid to move even a little.

        "The stuff is just like this" one of the men told his friend.

        "Mistake our target,"

        Dei who heard that was silent, while continuing to pay attention to Athar. He knew that Athar was in great pain now, but what he had to do, Dei did not want to take risks that could put them in danger.

        Dei looked back at the two men, the two men were whispering while looking at his hand. Dei who just realized that the two men must be eyeing the ring he is wearing now, Dei immediately hid the ring, he will not let the ring Athar gave.

        "Give me that ring! Or you'll die." Threaten the man and return to the gun right in front of Dei.

        Dei did not reply, he just shook his head. Dei will keep the ring because he loves her so much.

       "DEPLOY NO!" Shake the man.

       "NO...." Shouted Dei against.

       "Shoot him." Said one of the men.

       The man who was holding the gun was directly positioned right in front of him, and Dei saw the position of the gun right in front of his eyes.

       The moment also the silence returned to accompany them, the breath and the night wind again united but with a different atmosphere. Dei could not think long, what he thought now was a gun that would end his story soon.

        Slowly the man began to press the gun, the irregular heartbeat and breathing and the dripping sweat droplets made the hope disappear.

        And the man was ready to emphasize his gun, as well as Dei who was ready to lose his world. He looked at Athar and immediately closed his eyes.

DORRR!

        The sound of the gunshot made a thought pause for a moment, the whirling sound of rain and an irregular gasp of breath became one in that second.

       But when a body collapsed before Dei, he slowly opened his eyes. Once again he was confused by the current state of affairs.his body trembled strongly, his breath blowing rapidly and droplets of sweat falling down as the night wind blew through him.

       ATHAR RAJENDRA PRAJA Shot while helping himself, the man with his sweet smile fell right in front of him.

      While the two men who had ruined his life, went where.

      Dei sat down, the teardrops already represented his feelings. He hugged Athar, trying to make the man endure.

      "Athar! Vod!"

      "Pliss you're strong, you can definitely hold on...." Dei was so anxious, looking around him, but there was no one he could ask for help.

     "Athar! Plis hangs in for me."

     It was clear that his face was paled, but still visible with a smile.

      "Dei Sttss! Sorry, sorry if I can't... With you," said Athar a little crowded.

      "Ma-sorry... If I can't keep you company."

      Dei shook his head. "No! You can't say that, you promised to always be with me, two more days we'll go to the side, and.... "

       "Sa-honey!" Call Athar to stop Dei's speech.

       "A-aku... It's not strong anymore, so... Please beat me up."

        Dei continued to shake his head, he did not want anything bad to happen to Athar.

        "Shit... If you miss me, look at the stars every night. I-because of me, will always be a star every night" Athar said in pain.

       "No! I don't want to see any more stars, I want you, you have to be by my side...."

       The rustling of rain water continued to be heard, plus the sound of thunder that was slowly heard. The night was getting late and there were only a few street lamps illuminating the region.

      Dei stroked Athar's hair, and even his tears hit him.

       "Please! Please hold on for my sake." pinta Dei with her voice that began to sink.

        "Darling! Once again Ma-af, sorry I couldn't make my promise... I-I'm going ya." A final greeting from the man with that sweet smile of his.

         "Athar! Apar! Pliss wake... Plis don't stay with me, Athar wake up...."

        "ATHARR.............."

SERIATE.....
