Diamond Luster
Chapters 14. Meet Ms. Farida

Diamond closed his book after relief vented his anger. His eyes are now far away looking at the little children who play chases in the yard of his house. Diamond smiled bitterly imagining how the fate of the children were if their house was really in a rage. Where will they live?. What about the school?. Diamond did not understand why there are still people who want to destroy the future of the children considering their parents are very dependent on working as factory workers or tea pickers belonging to the Pratama family.

Diamond had no choice but to meet Farida's mother. Diamond sure, Miss Farida is a good person. From the citizen stories she heard, Farida was a generous person and liked to help people in distress. Diamond believes it is because she met once, Diamond can capture the wise aura of Farida's mother. Without wasting any time, Diamond left immediately riding his bike.

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

Diamonds arrive at Ms. Farida's house. Two-story house with a large size of hundreds of meters and with modern architectural style is the largest and most luxurious house located in the area around the plantation. The house is like a palace .

The diamond was amazed by the view in front of him. Ceramic decorations here and there that are of high value reinforce that the owner of this house is not an ordinary person. Of all the other valuable objects that were there, Diamond was stunned to see a family photo displayed on the wall.

"I miss your neighbor" he muttered with an eye that could not be seen looking at the face of his lover in the photo with a proud young man and with a kind mother.

"If you were here . You will definitely help me out of this matter" he said in his heart.

"Lian, are you waiting for aunty?" reprimand the motherly voice breaks the Diamond reverie.

"No. Lian has also just come" replied Diamond.

"Sorry yes, the aunt was praying ashar" said mama farida friendly to her guests.

"Auntie is glad you came to this house. How about we sit down first"

"Yes Madam"

"do not call mama donk, Aunt or want to call mama is also okay" exclaimed mama Farida. Diamond simply responded with an awkward smile.

"Lian, how are your grandparents doing, they're healthy right?" mama Farida asked politely.

"Alhamdulillah healthy aunt" replied Berlian.

"If you can tell, what needs do you want to find a aunt?"

"cz.anu... That's.." Diamond did not continue his words because a maid came to bring him a drink.

"You drink the juice first. You must be tired of cycling all the way here" said mama farida attention.

"Thank you aunt"

With a little puff Diamond drink orange juice that is there until it runs out. Maybe because he was thirsty so he was exhausted at once.

"Fresh" said.

"You want more?"

"Oh, no aunt. This alone is enough" he shamelessly refused.

"Darkly, were you saying what was the same aunt?" mama Farida returned to the question that Diamond had not yet answered. The silent diamond momentarily set its breath and let out its courage.

"Tante, Lian apologized earlier. Not meant to be presumptuous to talk to this aunt. Lian just wants to ask aunty to rethink the issue of eviction that will be done by the aunt company to the settlement of residents where lian lives" explained Berlian directly on the subject he wants to express.

"Tante, Lian knows the aunt's family company wants to expand the plantation land. But, that does not mean the Star has to force us to leave the settlement because the settlement we live in will be destroyed and leveled with the ground" explained Diamond again.

"What??. The stars will carry out evictions in the settlement where you live?" mama Farida was surprised to hear the Diamond's explanation. The middle-aged mother had no idea about the plan at all.

"Lian, you wait a minute. Aunty wants to contact Bintang to ask for an explanation of this . In a moment, Auntie wants to grab a cell phone first in the room" mama Farida stood up and walked away leaving Diamond alone.

"Tante Farida why does it seem so surprised when I tell you about this?. Does he not know about the eviction?" murmured Diamond while continuing to think.

Tired of waiting, Diamond walked over to an antique ceramic vase located near the ornamental cabinet. The curious diamond held the object and watched it with a glare of eyes admiring the art quality of making the vase.

The star got out of his car as soon as he got home. The road is accelerated as soon as it enters and runs across the family living room.

"You?" The star stopped its steps as it looked and recognized the figure of the girl standing sideways.

"why are you in my house?. You want to swing?" sambar Bintang origin accuse.

"Don't just play accuse. Who wants to go?" the real diamond objection was shocked by the arrival of the Star which was not in time because he had not had time to talk with mama Farida.

"Not confessing anymore. That's what you're holding?" The star pointed to the right hand of the diamond holding the vase.

"It's.." The diamond put the flower vase back in its place.

"i'm just looking around, not trying to swing" he continued.

"Reason. Where there is a thief who wants to say there is a full prison" between the stars.

"Your color has been caught red-handed wanting to burlap in this house. You'll be thrown in jail right now . They are also free. In this room there's his cctv" Star intent on pulling Diamond's hand but the diamond quickly dodges and runs. The stars are chasing him.

"Where are you going?" The star blocked the steps of the diamond that was about to run towards a door. Coincidentally mama Farida came out and was shocked by the action of chasing the stars with diamonds.

"Where do you run" The stars keep coming.

"i'm not a thief" he said.

"ma, this person should be quickly handed over to the police before he escapes" Bintang exclaimed. The diamond ran and took cover behind Farida's back.

"Don't believe aunt. Diamonds don't steal in this house at all" Diamond said in self-defense.

"No need to seek a defense. Maling still maling" Stars still insist to catch Diamonds.

Mama Farida was made dizzy with the childish behavior of the two who were always like dogs and cats that never get along when they meet.

"Aunty, pleasein Lian aunt" diamond pinta on mama Farida.

"Not most styles" says Bintang.

"Astagfirulah... Stop star. Diamonds are here to see Mom. You're nothing at all" mama Farida scolds more firmly and protects Diamond in her arms. Diamond felt the peace of being in the arms of a long lost mother.
