Diamond Luster
Chapter 8. The world feels narrow

"Well, thank you. I want to bring me home" said Diamond as soon as he got off the bike.

"Either. Anyway I do want to see you" Tika smiled sincerely.

"We just talk inside, let's be nice" Berlian said.

"No need. I'm in a hurry. I just want to hand this over to you" Kartika took out a brown envelope from her bag and gave it to Diamond directly.

"This what?" tanya Diamond was confused to receive the envelope.

"That's the file and the details of your book sales royalties, and the money has been transferred directly to your account" replied Kartika.

"Royalty?" The curious diamond opened the contents in an envelope.

"This much?" abugn. Diamonds as if they can't believe can get that amount of money . It was very difficult for him to collect that much money.

"This is just the initial payment. Later, if your book sales increase, the publisher will immediately pay off all payments in accordance with the contract you have agreed with the publisher . Not only physical print, your novel is also available in the form of an e-book "clearly Kartika, making Diamond smile haru.

"Thank God, O Allah. Finally I can make money from my own efforts" he said thankfully.

"Your efforts are not in vain, Lian. You have to be more active and passionate in writing. As a beginner, the sale of your book can be said to be good" Kartika also felt the happiness of her best friend and did not get tired of cheering her best friend.

"Thank you very much, Tika "Diamond hugged her best friend with joy. How lucky he is, to have a friend as good as Kartika . Kartika is the only person who supports her developing her writing talent.

"Don't just thank you, the tract is waiting for you" said Kartika while releasing his best friend's embrace.

"What do you want to eat?. I'll treat you as much as I can right now"

"Other times. I'm in a hurry to go to the store now"

"Udah yes, I'll go first. Assalamualaikum.." continued his pamit.

"waalaikumsalam. "reply Diamond released his best friend who drove along with his matic motorcycle.

"Tika, be careful" he shouted to remind his best friend who was in sahuti by honking the motor horn.

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

With the money he had, Berlian used it to take his grandmother to a specialist so that her grandmother's disease could be handled properly.

"Lian, where'd you get the money Grandma took her?. Checking the doctor is expensive?" asked the grandmother of Aminah astonished, because her grandson was still unemployed.

"Grandma take it easy. Bantuin Kartika diamond in his shop. Kartika gave a bonus to Lian, and the bonus amount could be to bring grandma to treatment" Diamond was forced to lie.

"Oh Lian, you just keep the money for your other needs. Grandma is better" said Aminah's grandmother lying weakly in bed.

"Neighbor .The money was deliberately set aside Lian for the cost of grandma's treatment. About the needs of Lian, can find again later" said Diamond who is not stopping and tired of massaging his grandmother's arms and legs.

"You are indeed the most kind and understanding granddaughter of grandma. Different from your brother, the Aryan"

Diamond was stunned to hear her grandmother mention the name of her long-gone brother leaving her with her grandparents.

"Sister, where is arya now?. Lian kangen the same sister" Lian muttered softly harboring her longing for the figure of the sister she cared about.

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

After taking his grandmother for treatment and taking her home, Berlian decided to go to a famous modern shopping center . Diamond wants to buy something for her lover. The rest of the money is still enough to buy clothes for his grandmother and grandfather, including for Rangga . Diamond entered a store selling men's clothing and began to be busy sorting out shirts that were suitable for Rangga.

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

"Ma, why do not you ask Rangga aja for help to accompany shopping?. Why do I have to?" bintang protests, accompanied by his mother's steps through several shops in the luxury and famous shopping center.

"Yes mama want to walk the same way you want, you are not busy this anymore right . Rangga is now busy preparing for duty outside the city for the next 10 days. It doesn't hurt if you ask for your help?"

"The stars wait for mama in the car, I'm lazy to walk here and there" he said.

"Yes, it's up to you "between mama Farida.

"mama's going to the boutique first"

"who did you buy kebaya for?. Can't it be for mama, the danger is too small and open?" the stars wondered in their hearts.

"Maybe it's a gift for his friend's child or business colleague "guess it yourself.

Stars don't think much. It is better that he return to the car because he began to be caught off guard by the unstable ABG-ABG who was fascinated by his good looks.

The Star step was stopped when passing a men's clothing store. His eyes were provoked to see a shirt perched neatly . The blue shirt fits his taste very well. There was no harm in him buying it.

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

Diamond finally found what he was looking for. A shirt that he thought was very fitting and suitable for his heart patch.

"Here we go" cried Diamond. He took the shirt along with someone.

"Sorry, this shirt I picked up first" he said.

"This is my shirt, I was the first "said the young man did not accept.

"You again?" both were shocked and glared at each other. The world seems to feel narrow, from the many shops located in this shopping center, why they must be found again. Just make it worse.

"Hey, this shirt I picked up first, so this shirt belongs to me" Diamond pulled the shirt out of the Star's hand.

"This shirt is definitely mine. Poor girls like you can probably buy a shirt this expensive. Don't you want to steal?" accuse Star.

"Enak just said I'd steal" Diamond stomped his foot on a star.

"Awwww" The star grimaced in pain while on tiptoes.

"This shirt belongs to me, I bought it for my girlfriend . You just find another one" the diamond managed to master the shirt 100% and intended to approach the cashier.

"can't. This shirt belongs to me. You just look for it at the flea market there. The clothes there are more appropriate for you or your girlfriend who is not important" Star did not want to budge and again tried to snatch the shirt from the hands of Diamond.

"It's mine"

"punyaku" The star won't lose.

A pull occurred between the two. Both are not willing to give up. Jockeying like a child.

"brettt.." the sound of a torn shirt stopped the tug-of-war between the two.

"yeahh.... His shirt is torn" said Berlian disappointed.

"You just take the shirt. I'm not interested" said the star, taking off the shirt.

"This spell is for you only, I'm ogah" refused Diamond.

"This spell has been torn because of your fault, so you're the one who took it" The stars won't accept.

"Don't be reckless. Did you see which shirt was torn?. The part you pulled. So, this shirt you take" Diamond said a lot of sense.

The stars watched the shirt. The ripped left armpit that was pulled by the diamond, not him.

"At work apparently" he murmured furiously.

"Hey, you want to do a.." The star says it's hanging because the diamond has already blurred first.

"Hey, you don't run away. Pay first the shirt you've broken" Star intends to follow. But his steps were blocked by a shopkeeper.

"Rasain. Diamonds on the opponent" sneered Diamond from outside the shop, making the Star growl.

"Sorry Mas, don't just play go pay first the shirt" said the waiter who confronted Bintang.

"Damn" aspat Bintang can do nothing but pay for the shirt that has been torn.

"Just look if we meet again, you're finished" snapped the Star inwardly.
