Diamond Luster

Diamond Luster
Chapter 65. Stay at Grandpa's house.


"Lian.." the adorable grandmother who was knitting on the porch left her job as soon as she saw who was coming. 


"grandmother..." 


Diamonds step with the stars. The two took turns to greet and kiss the hands of elderly women who still looked fresh and energetic.


For Diamond to do the ritual of kissing hands with his grandparents is common. But for the stars it was new to him. Diamond could not believe that Star kissed her grandmother's hand if she did not see with her own eyes. 


"How's grandma doing?. Grandma's healthy, right?" Diamonds show their attention even if they are just questions. 


"Thank God Lian's healthy grandmother"


Diamond smiled with relief at her grandmother's reply. 


"Which grandfather, grandma?" ask Diamond. 


"Grandfather is inside. From yesterday grandfather wants to see you. Grandfather would be happy if he knew you were coming" replied Grandma Aminah.


 


"We go in yuk" asked Grandma Aminah for diamonds and stars.


Diamond and grandmother Aminah walked in embrace, stars followed behind. 


"Assalamu'alaikum cake" Diamond said his greetings. 


"Waalaikumsalam" said Dharma's grandfather remained in his position to turn his back on his favorite grandson who came and was busy with his work. It seems like grandfather didn't realize who was coming. 


"So now Lian's coming in this cuekin?" the Diamond whisper let out its crashing sound. 


"Lian.you're the one who came" 


Grandfather Dharma stopped his activities. Grandfather stood up and turned around with a machete in his new left hand in the grind. 


"There's a Star too" Dharma's grandfather stared intently at his son-in-law's grandson.


Diamond greeted Dharma's grandfather, doing the same with what he had done to his grandmother. Diamond also had an amused smile to see her husband who was silent behind her as if afraid to face her grandfather. 


"what are you doing behind your wife's back?. You don't want to shake Grandpa or you want to stay there?" 


"Yes, cake" 


The star quickly shone and kissed the Dharma grandfather's hand.


"Grandfather, the machete was saved first. People who see grandfather holding a machete can misunderstand and be afraid to see grandfather" said grandma Aminah never tired of reminding her husband's behavior that never forget his favorite machete. 


"Grandmothers keep it" 


The star retreated when Dharma's grandfather wanted to hand the machete to the hand of the aminah grandmother.


Not only the star who shrivelled his guts if it had faced his grandfather, the neighbors were also his male friends during the school period was also made dag dig dug if it had faced the Dharma grandfather.


 


"It just so happens that the stars are here, you accompany grandfather to play chess" 


"Grandfather, the star was not feeling well, his hands were also injured. Grandpa plays chess next time. Let the Star rest first" the Diamonds explain the state of the Star. 


"Why is your husband's hand?" dharma's grandfather's eyes came down to see the star's left hand wrapped in bandages. 


"So the Star fell in the bathroom, so his hand was so hurt" Diamond was forced to lie because he did not want to burden his grandfather with bad thoughts about the thugs who came to collect his brother's debt. 


"Yes cake, I was the way less careful, so slip." The stars lie.


"The injury is not bad, cake.If grandfather wants to play chess, I have no problem at all" 


"Bin, you need to rest. Look at your face is still pale" Diamond said. 


"Well, we play chess next time. Grandfather does not want to win easily from you because you do not concentrate against grandfather" said Dharma grandfather.


 


"One time just play grandpa I checkmate" said the star slowly.


 


"What did you say?" dharma's grandfather glared sharply at the star's chattering that sounded disdainful of his skill. 


"Bin, we're going to the room now" 


 


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


"Pantesan only his grandson sangar, a descendant of his grandfather, sih" Oceh Bintang once in the room Diamond is small in comparison with his room. 


"What did you say?" diamond with eyes glaring at the stars. 


"Well, I'm telling you that you're exactly like Grandpa. Same with her, same as her husband" 


"nicebelin really..."


An upset diamond hits the Bintang's chest in protest at the words of the Star that say sangar and jutek. 


The smiling star took a diamond blow. The Star swiftly endured the Diamond's hand blow and pulled the tiny body into his embrace. The diamond was silent and drowned in the warm embrace of her husband. 


"for a few days we've been living in Grandpa's house?" the half-whispering star. 


"Are you serious?" The diamond looked up to make sure the Star did not mess with his words. 


The star smiled and nodded while rubbing the smooth cheek of Diamond.


 


"We've been married for 5 months. We have not stayed here for 5 months. I also want to get as close to the people you care about as you do with your mom." 


"I'm sure. This house must be a lot of history full of meaning for you, I hope to learn a lot from people who know you better than anyone" the long description of the Star reveals the reason that makes the diamond smile expand.


"I have absolutely no problem if we want to stay here. But we have to tell Mama first" 


"On mama you don't have to worry. I'll call him later" 


"Trus how about your clothes. There's no change of clothes for you?" 


"I've prepared all" The star pointed at the suitcase located next to the wooden cabinet. 


"have you prepared everything?" 


Diamond was quite surprised and did not know about the preparation of the stars to stay. It was a surprise for him.


"when did you get everything ready?" Diamonds look back at the stars.


"Before I catch up with you at work, I first stop here to tell you my wish" 


"Pantesan earlier you brought a hodgepodge for me" Diamond understood why the star could bring him a hodgepodge made by his grandmother. 


The stars are sure. Diamonds want to pull out the contents in the suitcase and intend to tidy it into the closet. 


"Star.." Diamond blood churned indeterminably as the Star hugged its body from behind. 


"Lian what up to this moment you still can't forgive me?" the whisper of the Stars troubled his heart.


"you rest first, I'm going out to see grandma" 


The diamond with a heavy heart released the hand of the circular Star hugging his waist perfectly. 


The star sighed in disappointment with the glare of the eyes softly letting the Diamonds out of the room.

Mama Farida smiled broadly ending her conversation by phone . 


"Call from whom?. Looks like mom is really happy?" rangga asked curiously as soon as he got down from the car when he got home. 


"From Stars. He said he and Lian for a few days wanted to stay at his grandfather's house" said Farida's mother girang. 


"Can't you?" shocked Rangga.


"Why are you so surprised?" search mama Farida.


"And their relationship is again troubled ma" replied Rangga.


"It doesn't mean they can't be better, does it?" mama Farida's.


"Fuck, why are they getting better this fast?" angry Rangga in heart.
