Diamond Luster
Chapters 20. Reality hurts

"Congratulations, Lian!. Finally you and Rangga will soon be engaged" said Kartika was also happy to hear the happy news from his best friend on a sunny afternoon.

"Thank you, Tika!. This is all also thanks to your prayer" replied Diamond no less happy than his best friend.

The two friends embraced her happiness.

"Then you came to my engagement with Rangga?" asked Diamond as soon as she let go of her embrace.

"Lian, I'd love to attend your engagement. But, the day after, my mom and I had to fly out of town to attend my sister's graduation. You love it suddenly, sih" said Kartika with a gloomy and guilty face and not good with his friend who was tired of coming to invite him.

Diamond was obviously disappointed to hear it . But, he still smiled and did not want to show his disappointment. However, Kartika has a clear reason for his absence later.

"It's okay, Tika. I can understand. But, on my wedding day you should come."

"definitely. Later I'll come with Bi..." Kartika quickly closed her mouth before she slipped.

"Who's with..hayoo?" search Diamond curious.

"There's. The point is, I will come up with a special man in my life" Kartika replied enigmaticly.

"Is that man your childhood prince you told me about?" guess Diamond with narrowed eyes.

Kartika smiled and nodded in embarrassment justifying her best friend's guess.

"Tika.kamu and he already..." Diamond hung his words and immediately hugged his best friend with joy. Kartika just smiled and did not know how to explain his relationship with the real Star.

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

That day came too. Diamonds already look beautiful, graceful and charming in an elegant white kebaya.

"You're so beautiful, Lian" said Aminah's grandmother, amazed at her granddaughter who was more than usual . Understandably Diamond has never used makeup as beautiful and luxurious as this.

Diamond could only look down and smile embarrassedly at the praise her grandmother made. Diamond was also impatient to get out of the room to meet his prospective fiancee because he was patient enough to wait today without asking for certainty or explanation from Rangga. Diamond strongly believes Rangga did keep his promise.

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

Since the beginning of climbing his feet in the yard of the house with a rambutan tree, Bintang was quite surprised. The star also began to suspect that the girl who will be paired with him is a diamond.

"Hopefully it's not that tacky girl I've been betrothed to. May the great-grandfather have another granddaughter who is more fashionable, educated and more worthy of being my life companion" said Bintang in his heart along his feet stepped into the dwelling of the simple house accompanied by a biological mother and other relatives by bringing offerings for the women, he said, but without the presence of Rangga who many reasons refuse to accompany the star proposed to women who are still his girlfriend status.

In front of the door Bintang and his family were welcomed by Dharma's grandfather and other relatives. The look on the face of the Star paled once Dharma's grandfather looked at him sharply . However, this time the Star is smart enough to master the situation and keep the wind well.

All the families have gathered and spoke well to convey the wishes of each side. Now is the time to introduce who is the lucky girl in a match with the Stars.

The stars and everyone present waited with hearts pounding. All eyes were immediately on a room door when it opened.

A girl like a goddess was led out by an old woman, the grandmother of Aminah.

"Dark" muttered the silent star. The tall, well-built man spontaneously stood with a spotlight between shocked and amazed to see the change of Diamond is very beautiful.

"What about your mother's choice?. Pretty diamonds, right?" mama Farida seduces her son who cannot hide his admiration for Diamond.

The star did not reply, he was just busy keeping his prestige and his prestige as well as his arrogance. As the mother who gave birth also raised her, mama Farida knew very well the meaning of the attitude that the Star addressed.

"It's normal" he answered briefly and was glared at by Dharma grandfather. Diamond was even more confused by the meaning of Farida's mother's words.

"How, what is the engagement event between a diamond and a star we can start?" mama farida hastily opened the event.

"Diamond and Star!!" like a thunderbolt in broad daylight hearing the words of mama Farida.

"Wait a minute, this must be all wrong. I never wanted to be married to a star. The man who was supposed to propose to me was not a Star, but.." given Rangga's name, the phrase Diamond hangs. Without excuse, Diamond ran away leaving everything behind. Right now what he had in mind was to meet Rangga and ask for a clear explanation of all this.

The atmosphere became boisterous and rowdy when Diamond left. His grandfather and grandmother Diamond was embarrassed and astonished by the rejection of his grandson, very inversely proportional to yesterday's statement. Nor could they do anything to prevent his granddaughter.

"Bin, you're after Diamond now!" mama Farida said to her son.

"Mama's seen how the behavior of the future wife you choose, right?. It is enough that we lower our self-esteem to the girl who has no manners" the star growled. His admiration was lost and his resentment changed how Diamond so easily humiliated him and his family.

"Son, forgive the behavior of Diamonds" regretted the grandmother of Aminah, while Dharma's grandfather felt there was a pain in his heart.

"It's not grandma who should apologize. But, Diamond, the shameless granddaughter of the grandmother" said Bintang could not control his anger anymore.

"Ma, we go home, now" The star forcibly pulled out her mother's hand. His jaws hardened, his eyes heated up holding back the unexpressed anger over the blatant humiliation of the Diamond. Did Diamond deliberately want revenge by doing all that?!.

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

Diamonds are wrong. On the edge of the lake there was a figure in his car.

"Ladders..." Diamonds scattered tightly hugged Rangga from behind with tears in her eyes.

"Lian" muttered Rangga sculpting with a pale face. Rangga quickly and violently removed Diamond's hand from his waist.

"Lian, why are you here?. Don't you have to get engaged to Star ?" sambar Rangga immediately, making Diamond stunned.

"So you know about this engagement and you just keep quiet and you don't try to explain everything to me or try to prevent it?" diamond said between surprised, disappointed sad and angry at the stupidity and innocence, especially with the silence of the man he loved.

"Sorry Lian, our relationship can no longer be continued. You better accept your matchmaking with Bintang" said Rangga without feeling.

"No. I don't want to" rejected Diamond with her increasingly unstoppable cry.

"I love you, Rangga. I can't possibly be paired with a star" she cried.

"Lian, you don't complicate my life. You must accept the Star proposal. I didn't want you to know about our relationship because you could throw me out on the street and all the luxury facilities you gave me. I'm sure if you want to marry the Star, not only am I lucky, but you are, because you won't live in poverty anymore"

"what????"
