Diamond Luster
Chapters 87. The past of the stars
The whole family has returned to their homes, including the Stars and Diamonds.
Arriving home, all were shocked by the arrival of several policemen.
"Well, you're called the Primary Star?" asked one of the men in police uniforms to approach the star who just got out of his car.
"Yes, I'm a Primary Star" he replied firmly. While the diamond and mama farida who just got off the car are different to worry and wonder, there is no way the police are looking for Bintang.
"Then you come with us to the police station and we officially bring the arrest warrant"
The diamond and Farida's mama were taken aback by the police's words. The star calmly received and read her arrest warrant.
"Well, I'll go with you to the police station" he broke with a cold head.
"no.." take the diamond.
"Mother can't just take my husband away. My husband's a good man, he can't possibly make a mistake" Bela Berlian hugged and detained her husband so the police wouldn't bring the man she loved.
"I'm sorry your husband we have to take him to the police station to account for his actions. You can contact your husband's attorney for a defense" the police said.
"Please come with us"
Mama Farida fell unconscious at that moment. Arya who happened to be there immediately helped and brought Mama Farida into the house. The star could only stare at her sadly.
"Don't bring my husband. My husband is not wrong" cried Diamond unstoppable. He also with all his might grasped the hand of the Star and would not let go.
"Lian, take off my hand. All will be well" persuaded the star reassured.
Arya hurriedly came out again, trying to calm her sister.
"Sister, don't let that cop carry the Star" cried Diamond sobbing.
"Ar, I have Diamonds" Bintang said before he walked into the police car.
"You calm down . I will definitely take good care of my sister" Arya promised.
"Star.you can't leave me"
The diamond thrashed and ran to hug her husband. Police are also trying to separate the two.
"Lian, I'll be right back" The star wiped away the tears of the woman he loved before he was actually carried by the police. Diamonds cry
Rangga who watched from a distance was satisfied his plan succeeded.
"Star, don't go...."
Diamond ran as hard as she could chasing the police car that was carrying her husband.
"Lian, stop chasing me" cried the star from inside the car. His heart screamed bitterly at the Diamond that suddenly fell, while he could do nothing. His eyes were hot and watery to withstand his sadness that could only be a spectator from behind the car glass that took him further away, until Diamond was no longer seen.
"Star..don't stay with me" Diamond cried heartbreakingly in her brother's arms.

Flashbacks
15 Years ago, an accident happened to a group of families who were on vacation. The accident that occurred on the highway claimed 3 lives at once and 3 more were declared safe.
Mama Farida, the survivor, could not stem her grief when she learned that her beloved husband was critical and that her life could not be saved. Likewise with a husband and wife who is his biological sister also can not be saved.
It felt like mama Farida ended her life after her loved ones who first faced God. But there's a star, her baby that survived the accident. And there is Rangga, the adopted son of his biological sister who survived. The two angels became life boosters Farida to survive caring for and raising them alone.
After 3 years of widowed life, Farida decided to remarry with a single man named Reza. Reza is Farida's first love who has been separated for a long time. Reza wants to accept Farida as she is, including accepting Bintang and Rangga as her children.
Farida's new family runs harmoniously like any other family. And the harmony of Farida's family became more evident when she shared her love for Reza. Farida gave birth to a beautiful daughter named Moon. The birth of the Moon did not make Reza forget the Star and Rangga. Reza still loves the two heroes like he loves his biological daughter. Vice versa.
But everything changed 180 degrees. The loving Reza turned depraved and hated the Stars. Because of the Star, the Moon who was only 3 years old died because the Star failed to take care of his sister. At that time mama Farida and her husband had to swipe one of their relatives who were sick, while Rangga wandered somewhere. The star accidentally leaves his sister in a closed car and is engrossed in playing with his friends. The moon was confined all day in the car and was pronounced dead due to lack of oxygen.
Since that incident, Reza has hated the Star and considers the Star as the killer of her biological daughter. Reza can't just forgive Bintang because he can't have another child because he has a disease.
The death of the Moon became a new chapter in the sufferings of a Star. The star must feel the hardness of the hand of a stepfather. Reza did not hesitate to slap or hold the stars in the room all day even though he did nothing wrong. Farida tried to defend and protect her baby from the cruelty of her second husband. Each time Farida defended, Farida had to suffer the same fate as her son.
Not until there, Reza revoked all luxury facilities received by Bintang and handed it to Rangga. Rangga is spoiled, his will is always followed. What the Star wants and asks for is given to Rangga. If Bintang forced and asked for his will in his part, Reza did not hesitate to act rudely. Farida who could not bear to see the Star as the months of violence her husband, often asked and persuaded that the Star yield to Rangga.
Farida's attitude like that, made the Star over time so fed up. The adult star began to fight and the peak occurred when he sat in the 1st grade of High School. Badung stars and often make trouble in his school to be reprimanded and sanctioned because it is incorporated in a motorcycle genk that often makes a riot.
"A brash kid.." maki Reza after being satisfied slapping the Stars many times.
"You're not going to school to be this kind of thug. You're an example of your cousin Rangga. He was a good and hard boy. He's never ashamed of a family like you"
"Om Reza doesn't need to compare me with Rangga because I'm not him" said Bintang dislikes being compared to Rangga.
"Dare you fight me" hardik om reza and ready to slap the stars once again.
"Mas ...enough" mama Farida came out of the room, she could not bear to see her baby in the chest.
"Who told you to get out of the room?. You come in.." he snapped at his wife.
"mama better get back to the room. I don't need to defend my mother.I can solve my own problems with om reza" said Bintang with a cold face and fiery eyes staring at his stepfather.
"Dare you fight your mother" growled Reza.
"Mas.. stop hurting Bintang or I'll end our marriage" Farida threatened at the threshold of her patience with her husband's rude attitude.
"What did you say?" Reza was shocked and walked over to his wife.
"I've already filed for divorce against you and mas reza won't get my family's property for a penny. Because the treasure is his Star"
"How dare you make such a unilateral decision"
Reza growled uncontrollably and strangled his wife like a fidelity.
"Mas let me go.." Pinta Farida.
"I'll let you go if you follow my will. Unplug the divorce and divert all your property to me and Rangga" Reza filed the terms at will.
"I will never obey the will of mas reza again" refused farida even though his life is now threatened because Reza did not want to lower his hand from his neck.
"Please My Mama...."
The furious star, pulled his stepfather's hand. Farida also slipped from Reza's grip.
"Bukkkk.." a hard blow overlaid by the Stars and right hit Reza's stomach.
His body fell down and rolled down the stairs with screams and screams.
"Mas Reza!!"
Farida was hysterical and ran down the stairs and found her husband wounded and bleeding.
The stars are sculpting with eyes staring down. The stars seem lifeless. His body is unable to move.
"Mama...om Reza why?" Rangga who had just returned to school was shocked and ran to Farida who continued to embrace her husband's unconscious body.
"STAR.." Rangga's jaw clenched and swiped with the embers to see the figure standing on the second floor with a face that was difficult to understand, whether he was sorry or just happy because his revenge was exposed.
flashback off
...****************...
"All wrong mom, Lian. Had you not remarried, none of this would have happened" she said, ending the worst memory of her life.
The diamond that listens to the story of a Star can never stop shedding its tears. He had no idea that the Star had a tragic life story.
"Actually the case of the death of mas reza has long been closed because his family is willing to make peace. But 2 weeks ago, erwin came to threaten to file a case of his brother's death if Bintang was not willing to comply with the terms of peace that he proposed" said mama Farida amid tears of sadness.
"What are the conditions proposed by Erwin, ma?" ask Diamond to know.
"Why don't the stars obey him?" ask Diamond again before Mama Farida could answer his question.
"Mas Erwin asked for the Star." mama Farida could not bear to tell the truth to her daughter-in-law.
"mama please be honest with lian. What conditions are proposed by om erwin so that the star is free from all demands" Pinta Berlian is impatient because he wants a free star as soon as possible.
"Mas erwin asked for a Star... Star wants..divorce you and marry Kartika"
"Divorce?.married to Kartika??"
Diamond was shocked then she ran out of her in-laws room. Mama Farida was unable to hold back because her energy was drained crying over the unfortunate fate that befell her baby.
"I'm sorry, mas. I can't protect our son. I can't keep her happy as well as what you expect" the middle-aged woman cried in memory of her late first husband.
...****************...
Inside the room, Diamond spilled the cries of longing as well as her pain. His longing for the unbounded Star and its pain know the terms of the Star's freedom beyond the limits of its ability to fulfill. His love for the stars grew so deep. No matter what the story of the stars' past. His love for the Stars was not piqued in the least.
"Bin, I can't live without you. I can't possibly end our marriage. I might not want you to be owned by another girl, even if it's my own best friend. I love you so much. Very" Diamond whispered incessantly wailing and crying while staring at the photo of her husband.
"What should I do, Bin?. I can't let you be in custody either. You're not wrong. You're not a killer. You shouldn't be behind bars. But I can't sacrifice our marriage. I love you and I can't so easily get you out of my life" Diamond kept crying and this time she hugged a picture of her husband. It felt as if the middle star was holding her.
The diamond closed its eyes and took a deep breath. The Star's presence felt increasingly real and its scent spread.
"Star" Diamonds open their eyes. Her crying changed into a smile.
"are you free?" he asked her on the figure before her eyes.
The figure nodded without a sound. Only the smiles and nods he gave answered Diamond's question. Diamond hugged her husband's body full of longing.
"I miss you. I thought you'd be in jail forever. It turns out you can be free this fast" he said.
The figure he hugged and spoke to did not say a word. The figure simply smiled and wiped away the rest of her tears, then laid her body on a soft bed.
"You're sleeping" said the figure with his distinctive smile as his finger gently brushed the black diamond hair.
"you too go to bed" asked Diamond.
The man did not answer, he just lowered his forehead. His fingers moved caressing the smooth face of Diamond. Diamonds are too. His eyes were closed, he could sleep soundly without any weight because there were Stars by his side.
