Diamond Luster

Diamond Luster
119. Kartika asks Arya for help.


Rujak runs out without rest, Bintang rushed to the office because he had misfortune. He immediately said goodbye to his wife and mother. 


...****************...


Unfortunately, Berlian deliberately came to bring lunch for her husband and brother. Even though she was married, Diamond did not necessarily forget her brother.


"Lho, that's an arya car ?!" she knew the car coming out of the 10-story office area owned by her husband. 


"Where are you going, huh?.Is he having a meeting outside?" guess from the car that took him to his destination. 


When the car that was carrying Diamond arrived, she immediately went down and rushed to her husband's workspace located at the very top. 


...****************...


"I think our conversation is enough. You can get out of my office and never come back" snapped the Star at a woman who had been hard on her stance. 


"Bin, you can't unilaterally cancel our cooperation contract like this. You can't arbitrarily use your influence" the woman's protest did not accept the steps taken by Bintang. 


"This decision has gone through careful consideration by all staff in this company. And we can't continue to work with companies that don't share our vision" 


"That's just a cover for you to cover up your power-mad attitude" said the woman with such a shoulder-length hair. 


"Enough" the star stood up and hit his desk hard. His eyes stared intently at his interlocutor as if he wanted to pounce on his interlocutor alive. 


"I'm asking you to get out of this room, before I call the security guard to drag you out of here" he said. 


The woman sat quietly in her place. 


The star snorted in annoyance and opened the door. 


"Flora.. You want to come out in a respectful way or I'll embarrass you in the take-out of the security guard" 


The woman named flora was forced to rise and stand face to face with the man who drove her away. His eyes immediately sparkled to get the idea as soon as he saw who came out of the elevator door that was not far from the Bintang workspace. 


"Ouch..." Flora pretended to fall and hugged the Star on purpose unexpectedly by the previous Star. 


"ehem.." the voice of one's deheman, made the Star turn toward the voice because it felt familiar with the voice.


"Darling" Without waiting for long, the Star pushed roughly onto Flora's body and walked over to his wife. 


"Darling, don't misunderstand me. I can explain everything to you" The star cupped Diamond's face with a look in her eyes asking for her trust. Diamonds just keep quiet.


Flora smiled cynically triumphantly. The weakness of the Star was now in his grasp.  Very nice of you Flora.


The star pulled Diamond's body into his arms. 


"Everything is not what you see, believe in me" he said.


Diamond's gaze clashed with Flora's view which seemed to deliberately spread a serious threat to her. The diamond spontaneously hugged her husband's body tightly. 


 


...****************...


"Sorry, I'm late" said Arya, feeling guilty for the girl she met at a cafe not far from where she worked. 


"Nothing, I also just came" the beautiful girl replied with a sweet smile. 


"Oh no. I'm quite capuccino" 


The girl nodded and called out to the waiter. 


"When you actually have a need to ask me to meet here?" Arya asks the girl in front of her after the cafe waitress moves away from their table. 


"Sister, actually I invited the meeting because I really want to ask for help arya brother. That's also if you don't mind." he explained a little awkwardly. 


"What help?" Arya looked seriously at the girl in front of her, making her heart suddenly beat erratically. 


"This problem still has something to do with the Star" said Kartika after successfully mastering the situation.  Actually, he could have asked for Diamond, only Kartika did not want to trouble Diamond at this time.


"What's wrong with the stars?. Papa, what are you gonna do again?" suspicious arya. 


"No. don't get me wrong" Kartika argued quickly. 


"Then?" 


The waiter came with an order of 2 cups of capuccino. Kartika was forced to shut up for a moment until the maid left again. 


"Silver drinks his coffee first" Kartika told Arya.


Arya took a sip of the coffee a little, then put her drink glass in place. 


"Explain to me, what help do you ask me for?. If you want me to separate the stars from the diamonds, don't expect me to help you" 


Kartika smiled amusedly. The handsome man in front of him too seriously concluded his own opinion. 


"If I had wanted to separate the stars from the diamonds, I would have done it because my chances of getting the stars were very open. But I attach more importance to my friendship with Lian. Because the value of our friendship is far too valuable in appeal must fuss over the obvious. The star is already bucin acute with Lian. What else do we have to deal with, right?" 


Arya secretly admires the breastplated soul possessed by Kartika. It was rare for anyone as good as Kartika he had ever met. 


"What can I help you with?" 


"i just want Arya's sister to persuade Bintang to meet my father" he explained. 


"why should I?. Why don't you or your own papa come straight to the stars?."


"sister, papa's condition has not made it possible to get out of the hospital. But he was so eager to meet with Bintang to convey his apology in person. I myself am not sure if the Star will grant my request if I come to see him myself. Because I feel that the stars still hold a grudge against my family" Kartika explained at length. 


"Why don't you ask for a diamond?. Diamonds will definitely be happy to help you" arya suggested. 


"sister, I know that. But you also know for yourself that Lian is pregnant young.I don't want to burden Lian by involving her in this matter.. I'm afraid Lian will insist on persuading the star while her people are reluctant to meet papa . They can be at odds and it can harm the fetus he is carrying" 


Arya. Again he was amazed by the adult attitude and solidarity shown by Kartika. 


"If Arya's sister doesn't want to help me, I won't force her" he resigned. He grabbed his bag and left without saying goodbye. Reflexes, Arya grasps Kartika's hand. 


"i'll help you" he said for sure. 


Kartika fell silent and misbehaved her hand held tightly by Arya. His heart trembled violently. 


"Thank you" Kartika's smile sincerely. 


Arya smiled back. There was a satisfaction for the single youth that could make the girl who secretly began to steal his heart with such a beautiful smile.
