Diamond Luster
Chapter 57. Too hurt in heart.

The star woke up rubbing its eyes as its hand touched the empty bed. 

The star opened its eyes perfectly and found that the pale diamond was dressed neatly by holding the map. 

"Lian, where are you going?" ask Stars.

"Today I'm going to start looking for work. You don't have to live in anxiety anymore if I'm going to morotin your treasure. I will try myself to meet my needs without touching your wealth in the slightest" replied Diamond firmly and with his head held high. The Star's body is powerless, what Diamond said just now hurts more than just the slap she received twice last night. 

Diamond's decision to work is already unanimous. No one could persuade the tall-nosed woman to retract her decision. Including the Star that is known to be very hard and firm it can not melt the determination of a strong Diamond. 

"Lian.think again your desire for work. Mama also does not necessarily agree with your decision" persuaded Bintang tirelessly so that Diamond would change his decision. 

"Your mother is a very wise man and I will try to speak well with her. I'm sure Mama won't ban me from work. You do not need to give up carrying your mother's name to cover your pressure and arrogance. It doesn't work for me" said Diamond with a strong stance. 

"I know I was wrong. My words last night were also very painful. I regret what I said. I'm so sorry, and I want to apologize to you" the voice of the Star sounded soft, but not quite touching for Diamond who had already hurt his heart. 

"Lian.forgive me" 

The star tried to grab his hand. The diamond quickly brushed off the Star's hand. His attitude was really cold and unfriendly. 

"That's it... You don't have to lower your self-esteem in front of this poor woman. Your apology is just a camouflage so you look hearted and responsible. Guilt is also your regret is just a joke that you will repeat again and again until you are satisfied to insult me as you please" 

The stars are out of words to persuade the Diamonds. He didn't know how else to show his seriousness that he was so sorry for hurting Diamond so badly. 

"Sorry, I have to go" 

Diamonds came out of the room, and stars quickly followed. 

"if you really want to work, you can work in my office. I can put you in one of the most important positions in the office" 

"What?" Diamond was shocked and turned over and walked straight to her husband. The star smiled, his attempt to persuade Diamond seemed to be successful. Diamonds seemed interested in his offer. 

"You think I'd accept your help ?!!!" The cynical smiling diamond shattered the confidence of the rising star. 

"You want me to be the owner of the company, I'm not interested at all. Even the fingernails I'm not tempted. Your efforts to bribe me like this only further reinforce that you are so low as to judge me with your treasure. You can never learn from your mistakes. You said you were sorry and you asked me to forgive you, but you just came back to insult me" 

"Lian. My intention is really sincere, not to insult you" explained Bintang in self-defense. 

"I really want you to work in my office because the office does need professionals like you" 

"Or you need someone you can insult at any time until you're satisfied with" the Diamonds are not easily persuaded by any reason thrown from her husband's mouth. 

"You forgot... When I applied for a job in your office, what did you say?" 

"You said that a village woman and an uneducated like me are not worthy to work in your office" Berlian eloquently repeated the words of the Star who had once rejected and insulted him all out. 

"Not only that, you easily throw my cover letter into the trash can just as easily as you insult me as your treasure-seeking woman" 

The star bowed, Diamond's memory of his ugliness was excellent and it was painful for him. His hope to achieve love Diamond really does not exist because there is no good impression that can be remembered Diamond to arouse the spirit of his life that began to be fragile. 

The diamond resumed its steps, and the Star tried to prevent it.

"Lian, if you want to work, wait until your health condition improves. Last night you were raining, your body temperature was very hot last night. You put off your desire until it's completely healed, huh?" 

"Don't be pretentious to care about me. I know what my own condition is" said Diamond indifferently and walked quickly down the stairs. 

"Don't be rash Lian. Mama's definitely not gonna let you work" 

"Who said you don't allow Diamonds to work" the middle-aged woman interjected from the middle room.

"Mama" said Diamond and Star simultaneously turned their heads and stopped stepping. 

Mama Farida walked over to her son and daughter-in-law. He was already tired of hearing the young couple quarrel. 

"Ma, sorry Lian. Lian couldn't keep quiet at home. Lian wants to concern herself with positive activities. Mama's not mad if Lian's working?" anxious feelings of hope came to Berlian, just in case his mother-in-law still insisted on forbidding him to work. 

"Yes, honey. Mama doesn't mind if you really want to work" mama Farida's smile expands sincerely. 

Diamonds who were relieved to hear the decision of his mother-in-law, immediately rushed to hug the woman he had considered like his own biological mother. Stars can only resign and accept that Diamonds are hard to work. 

"Thank you mama" said Berlian haru. 

"But you have to promise me, you have to be able to keep the good name of our family and you have to be able to divide your time between work and home" said mama Farida reminded her favorite daughter-in-law. 

"Lian promised ma, Lian won't waste my mother's trust" 

"It's noon, Lian said goodbye" and Diamond kissed her mother-in-law's hand. 

"don't you have breakfast, son?" ask Mama Farida.

"Lian wants to go to Grandpa's house first. Lian had breakfast there. It's been a long time not having breakfast with grandparents" he refused subtly. 

"Bin, I'm saying goodbye" 

Diamond turned to approach her husband who was looking at her so heartily. Diamond grabbed the Star's hand, saluted her and kissed her as usual as proof that she still respected the Star as her husband. 

"I'm sorry, Lian" said the bitter Star and his heart could not bear to see the state of the pale and weak Diamond forced itself to look for work. All because of his stupidity that is so emotional and easy to say harsh words. 

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

"Star, mama wants to talk to you" said mama Farida on her baby who never let go of observing the departure of his wife.

"I also want to talk to my mom" he said. 

The mother and son walked into the family room.
