Diamond Luster
Chapter 88. I love you
"Good night, Lian. Have a good night and dream, baby" said the star from behind bars as he closed his eyes.
"Whatever you know about me, I hope you don't hate me. And I beg of you, do not make any decision. I'd rather rot in prison than lose you. I really hope our marriage doesn't end in vain. I want you to be with me forever because I love you so much and I can't live without you" Inner Star glared away..
...****************...
"Star, where are you?" Diamond screamed and acted like a depressed person when she woke up she did not find her husband beside her.
"Bi, where do you see the stars?" ask her on bi sumi who is busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Bi Sumi was so excited to see her young master who was usually tough and cheerful turned weak.
"Non, the stars are not at home" he replied.
"Not bi. The star is free and last night he came home" Diamond argued.
Bi sumi couldn't say anything more. Seeing his employer who was very cheerful and enthusiastic, made the middle-aged woman unable to tell the truth.
"That's just your hallucination" Rangga, who is constantly watching the diamond moves from when he wakes up to the diamond, acts like a depressed person.
"That's not a hallucination, it's real" Berlian believes.
"Every night the stars come home. He slept next to me and hugged me as usual" she explained.
"You come with me" Rangga pulled the Diamond forcefully towards the back garden.
"Lian, open your eyes . The star is still in prison. He could not be free easily" said Rangga.
"No. The stars are free" he argued.
"As far as you. You see yourself in prison and prove who's right, me or you?" fierce Rangga.
Diamonds quiet, chest tight . Her tears were again pouring down her cheeks.
"The star is a murderer, he cannot be free from punishment" Rangga said triumphantly.
"You better follow what you want erwin. You left the stars and you came back to me. Stars are not worth it to you. He's a killer"
"PLAKKS.."
"PLAKKK.." a loud slap in a row stopped Rangga's hurtful speech to Diamond. And she did not accept, Rangga just call her husband.
"Star is not a killer. He just wanted to defend and save his mother. Had I been in the star position, I would have done the same" Diamond defended her husband's pride and believed in her heart that the Star was a good man.
"leave the Star if he won't rot forever in prison"
Rangga smiled cynically triumphantly leaving Diamond in painful confusion.
...****************...
It's noon, the lawyer came to get him. The star was made to be upset because the diamond had not yet visited him. If the mother does not come, Bintang can understand because the condition of his mother is still not healthy and weak, according to the explanation of his family lawyer.
But what about Diamonds?. Why didn't he come?. Do not know him, if the Star is in desperate need of support and confidence from him to be able to through the trials that come to his life?.
"That's it!. Stop thinking about diamonds. Diamonds can't hit you. He must hate you so much because you're a bad guy and you're a murderer. Where there is a woman willing to live with a murderous man like you" The muttering star quietly reminded himself in his desperate stage.
"Bintang Brother, there are guests who come to visit "the jailer comes to open the prison door.
"Who sir?. Is she my wife?" tanyanya expectantly.
"I don't know" replied the prison warden while closely escorting the star's journey to meet the visiting guests.
...****************...
The long-haired woman was back and forth unsettled waiting for someone.
"Lian.." call out the typical heavy voice in the long-haired girl's ears. The voice he missed.
Diamond turned, face his eyes immediately bumped into a sturdy figure and still dashing despite wearing a prisoner's shirt.
"Star.." he said he was held back by his crying that would break. Because she could not bear to see the condition of her husband who was not passionate.
Not able to withstand the longing, the two then hugged tightly to free their respective longings like people who have not met for a long time. Diamonds try hard and do not want to smear their precious encounter with tears.
The stars are not satisfied to embrace the diamond. Many times his lips kissed his wife's crown without getting bored. Diamonds also enjoy it as a cure for its longing.
"how are you?. You're okay, right?" Diamond asked as she cupped her husband's face with a bitter smile that she tried to force.
"Very good when you're around me like this" the smile of the Star expands. It was as if there was no heavy burden on his shoulders.
The star's smile grew even more revealing its charming dimples. The presence of Diamond made his spirit come alive again.
"I miss you too" he replied, after which the Star continued to kiss his wife's forehead. Diamonds try as hard as possible not to cry.
"You haven't had lunch yet, have you?. I brought your favorite food. I cooked myself specially just for you" said Berlian energetically even though his heart was sliced with pain. Which wife would see her husband become sickly.
"You sit down first" Diamond asked her husband to sit on a long bench that is specially provided for guests who come to visit.
"You eat it let me take a bribe"
The stars want to cry. He was moved to see Diamond's sincere concern for him. Even Berlian did not bring up the problem of his detention and his little heart knew that Diamond actually already knew about his arrest.
"open your mouth and try my cooking, good?"
The star opened its mouth and received the first mouthful directly from the Diamond's hand.
"Enak" he said with his mouth filled and eyes twinkling.
"Beef teriyaki makes you the most delicious" he added.
"If it's good, you eat again. spend it" Diamonds return to feed the second spoon and so on. Every bend, Diamond kept smiling hiding his pain. However, he finally gave up and his cries could not be held back anymore.
"why are you crying?" The star quickly grabbed his wife's shoulder and hugged her. In the arms of her husband, the cry of Diamond grew.
The star did not calm down, then cupped his face, then wiped away the tears that were running through it.
"Don't cry. I can't stand to see you grieve like this" she asked bitterly.
"Why don't you agree to the terms proposed by om erwin?. If you agree, you don't need to be held like this?"
"It turns out to be true that I thought that you already knew everything and you must have the same assumption as others that I was a murderer"
The stars cannot hide their disappointment.
"You're wrong" said Diamond.
"mama told me everything. What you do is not an accident. You just want to save your mama without wanting to harm om reza, what else to want to kill him. You're not a killer, Star. Not.." said Diamond gave his view that makes the stars more fortunate to have a wise wife.
"But, he's dead, lian. Om erwin and his family would want to retaliate by imprisoning me like this" said Bintang slowly and discouraged.
"Ngga would, if you would divorce me and marry Kartika"
"WHAT?" The stars seemed to believe that the painful words came out of the mouth of the diamond. Tub in hot iron whip hear it.
"It's not hard for you to part from me. Wasn't it from the beginning that you hated me so much and didn't want to have a tacky companion and a village like me?. Our marriage is only in the land of an arranged marriage which we did not agree with from the beginning. With us parting ways, you'll get a girl that matches you. Kartika is a beautiful and kind girl. He's also from a respectable family like you" Diamond said against his heart. That was the most beautiful sentence he ever said.
"Is that?" The stars are sneering.
"After 6 months of marriage, your opinion of me is still the same. You think when I asked you to be my wife in front of your grandparents it was for no reason. You think the first time I dared to touch you, I did it because of what. Every night, when you fall asleep, I never get tired of looking at and caressing your face, what do you think I do?. When I hold you, wipe your tears and kiss you, what do you think I'm doing?. I chose prison instead of having to live free and lose you, what do you value my sacrifice?"
The diamond was silent, its tears were flowing out and its heart was unsettled as the star touched its fingers, then it dipped.
"All I do is because I love you. Even very in love"
That confession finally came out as well and was a great relief for the Stars to be able to uncover.
"I also love you, the star "reply Diamond in the heart. He could not come clean and risked the future of the man he loved. Stars can still insist on choosing to be held if they know the truth of their hearts. Punishment that will be in the responsibility of the stars is also not kidding.
"I love you so much, Lian . What about you?. Do you have the same feelings as me?"
"Yes. I love you too. But I don't want to be selfish. I can't possibly let you curl up in jail" Diamond groaned inwardly, only her eyes speaking through gazes and tears.
"Lian, what about you?" the stars expect a lot.
"A.a.a.ak.aku,,,"
"Sorry, visiting hours are up. It's time for the prisoner to return to the cell" the prison warden said.
"Bin, take care of yourself . If you are free later, you have to be passionate about living your life and you have to promise to make mama happy even without me" Diamond said leaving a piercing message in the depths of the Star's heart.
Diamond kissed the back of her husband's hand with all the feelings she had. I could not feel her tears dripping down her hands, Star.
"Knowing you love me, that's more than enough. I'm sorry, if I can't survive" Diamond muttered softly leaving the police station where her husband was detained.
The tears of the stars. His body slumped and leaned against the cold cell wall. The Diamond message was like a sign that the Diamond would leave it.
