Diamond Luster
Chapter 89. Diamonds go home to grandpa's
Her tears kept dripping down as if endless. The Star's long-awaited heart phrase wasn't enough to erode the poignant taste that ambushed Diamond's heart niche seeing her beloved husband curled up behind bars. Should he sacrifice his happiness to free the Star from prison?. Is he really ready to lose a star?. Is she really willing to have a star in her own company?. All those questions made his chest tight.
When the taxi that was on the other side reached the destination, Berlian wiped his tears and rushed down after making payment for the public transport service he used.
"grandfather, why don't you tell brother that you want to visit the star in custody?. Brother can accompany you" said Arya who immediately nyerocos as soon as he saw his sister came after waiting for some time in the living room of the Pratama family.
"Sorry brother, Lian hastily" he replied softly.
"So long time ago?" diamond asked.
"Not too long ago. Brother is here to see how you are. From yesterday Grandma didn't calm down thinking of you"
"Lian's fine, brother. No need to worry" Diamond tried to smile to show his firmness. In Arya's eyes, her sister looked just the opposite. Diamonds are very fragile in the face of this.
"Daddy, you're patient. Big brother promised, big brother will help you find a way out freeing Bintang from lawsuits that threaten him" Arya promised seriously.
"Thank you, brother" said Berlian haru.
Arya nodded and after that gently ruffled her sister's hair lovingly.
"Yes already, brother wants to go home first. Soon for the night. You should rest too, right?" arya.
"Sister, sister wait for Lian for a moment" Diamond asked directly.
"Lian wants to pack up and come home" he explained.
"You sure?" arya asked surprised and hesitant at her sister's wishes.
"Sister, Lian doesn't stay calm in this house. In this house there is Rangga. Do you know how Rangga himself?. Rangga will not stay silent. He would definitely use this opportunity to make things worse. As long as Bintang is still in custody, Lian will stay at grandfather's house" Berlian said explaining why he wanted to get out of the house that he had been in for 6 months.
"alright. Brother is waiting for you outside" arya agreed because he did expect Diamond to come out of his in-laws' house so he could protect his sister from the intrusion of the Rangga bastard.
"Don't forget, you must ask permission and say goodbye to your in-laws" Arya recalled to her sister.
The diamond nodded for sure and then stepped up the stairs towards his private room.
Diamond tears also flowed back when entering the room that many store sweet memories with the Stars. His heart felt heavy to leave the room. But what was decided was well considered.
...****************...
"sorry ma ma. I didn't know that the police came to arrest Bintang. Rangga did not know that om erwin turned out to report Bintang to the police for his death om reza. If only I had known, I would have prevented the police from searching for the Star" rangga said trying to take the heart of mama Farida so that the woman who raised him from childhood did not suspect his role in throwing his star into prison.
Mama Farida who was lying weakly could only smile and nod.
"mama believes in you. You may not want to harm your own brother" said Farida's mother.
Rangga breathed a sigh of relief. She's getting excited massaging mom's legs farida. Her smile also expands. But did not get noticed by mama Farida because the middle-aged woman was focused on looking at the door of her room that was opened by someone.
"Lian.... Enter Nak.." said mama Farida smiled and openly greeted her daughter-in-law.
Diamonds are slowly moving. His eyes can not be separated watching the movements of Rangga. Frankly, he was made sick and disgusted by the look on Rangga's face. In front of mama farida, Rangga was like a good boy and obedient, obedient to all his commands. But behind him Rangga keeps a strategy worth suspecting.
"Lian, I heard from my mom saying you went to see the stars in detention. How's she doing, she's okay, right?" rangga asked sok to show his attention.
"The Star is very good. The situation is also not as bad as what you imagine or maybe you expect" replied Diamond flicked Rangga.
"Lian, are you talking like that to Rangga?. It's not wrong, son. He absolutely did not know that the police who came at that time wanted to catch the star" said mama Farida defense.
Diamonds are silent. He did not want to argue and tell his suspicions against Rangga to his mother-in-law. It was the same as him making the condition of his in-laws drop. Better he just go straight to his goal to say goodbye.Mama Farida who heard it was surprised and tried to hold the diamond stay.
"mama, lian, I'm sorry. Lian can't keep up with mom's will. It's the best way for all of us. Lian's presence here only makes things worse.I'm sorry that Lian has not been able to be a good daughter-in-law for mama. Lian is not a daughter-in-law to be proud of. Sorry.." Diamond's voice shook withstanding her cries.
"you don't stay in mama, son. The star must be sad if you leave the house" mama Farida asked her daughter-in-law who was kissing her hand.
"Peach yourself mama's all right. Lian go first. Assalamualaikum"
Instead of complying with her in-laws' request, the diamond stepped out of the room. Mama Farida's crying was unbearable.
"mama take it easy. Rangga will follow and persuade the diamond to stay in this house" said Rangga who did not accept if the diamond left. His chances of getting a diamond can be hindered by the protection of his brother and his grandfather who is famous for being very strict guarding diamonds.
No need to wait for approval from mama Farida, Rangga came out and ran after Diamond to the terrace. And he managed to hold his steps Diamond.
"Lian, you're not stupid. You should think about your mother. Mama needs you" said Rangga .
"Rangga said, even if I'm not here, you should treat your mother well. If you still have a heart, do not do dirty things to hurt people who have cared for and consider you like their own biological children. What you do outside of your knowledge is not directly felt his own pain by him" added Berlian gave a warning to Rangga.
"Lian, you don't go" Rangga tried to forcefully pull the Diamond. Arya who was looking, came closer.
"Never try to touch my sister" said Arya while floating a raw bogem on Rangga's face until she fell over. When one more punch was about to be laid, Diamond quickly resisted her brother's punch.
"Sister, already. We better go home" he asked Diamond.
"Yes already, we go home" Arya complied and relented.
Nyali Rangga ciut did not fight, because he already knew who arya really was. Arya the street thug as well as the copet who was feared.
"This is your brother's car?" Diamond asked as soon as her brother opened the door of the black sedan car for her.
"No. It's an office car" answered Arya.
"Your fist goes up" he told her.
Diamond went up, while Arya put the suitcase in the trunk of the car, then just caught up with her sister coming in.
When Arya started the engine of his vehicle, Diamond stared bitterly at a room on the second floor. It was a room that gave him many sweet memories with the Stars. Her tears also returned to reminisce about the story depicted in the room.
...****************...
Diamonds in a red dress are the only misses that the stars feel. Just by staring, caressing also menyumi photos of the star can eliminate his anxiety and grief over his love statement that has not received a definite answer.
"I realize I don't deserve your love. I've hurt you so often with my attitude. I'm not a good man either, I'm a murderer, and I'm an inmate right now. But am I wrong if I wish I would love you?" said the Star in the photo that he was ceaselessly looking at.
"I love you, Lian. so much love." she said with tears falling down the photo she held.
...****************...
"I love you Stars. Very.. very love . I hope you can feel that even though I haven't admitted to it directly" said Diamond in the room she had been in since birth.
"I miss you" Berlian sighed as she clutched the last shirt on her husband's shirt and had not been washed. The diamond deliberately took him for just a misshapen.
Diamonds do not get tired of kissing the white shirt. The scent of the Star body scent that was left behind felt real nearby. Hugged him, kissed him as usual.
...****************...
"Ar, grandma can't bear to see the state of your sister. Is there no way to free the Star as quickly as possible?"
The sadness of Aminah's grandmother did not go away. Although the time had come Diamond showed his cheerful face.
"i'll think of the best way to free the stars unconditionally" said Arya.
"Why don't you try to ask your best friend for help. Isn't he a great lawyer ?. Grandfather often read the news in the newspaper if the knight often handles legal matters and always wins in court. why don't you just try to contact him?" cetus dharma's grandfather remembers his grandson's friend.
"Grandfather you're right. Who knows, a knight can help us free the Star" said the grandmother chimed her husband.
"Satria...." Arya smiled brightly considering the figure of her old friend.
"Grandma and Grandma were right too. Tomorrow Arya will meet him in his office" he said. It was not in vain that he exchanged thoughts with his grandmother and grandfather in the living room accompanied by a plate of boiled cassava.
"Sat, just be careful if you refuse my request. You'll I chew like this cassava" inwardly in heart.
...****************...
Seeing her son become sickly, mama Farida could not help but hold back her tears to see for herself how her only child looks tangled and unkempt. Mama Farida tried hard to console her son and promised to do her best to release him from prison. And Farida's mama couldn't lie when the Stars asked her about Diamonds.
The star was helpless against the siege of her tears. Without Diamonds his life would be useless. It's also free if he's free, but he has to lose the woman he loves so much. He doesn't know why the diamonds left the house. Only the prejudice alone suspected that Diamond did not love him and wanted to separate from him.
"mama don't need to be tired of asking lawyers to defend and release me. mama also don't need to ask om erwin to withdraw his demands . I have decided to make a confession if I deliberately pushed om reza to death.I will also make a statement if I had planned to kill om reza from the first. I don't care, I want to be put to death even once. I am free no longer mean anything because Diamonds do not care at all . Lian had even left the house without telling me first. The hope of continuing to live with her is dashed. Lian ga may want to have an inmate husband like me" The star got to the lowest point of her life spirit.mama Farida who heard it was made helpless lunglai . Just this time he saw a star so fragile facing the trials of his life.
"You don't do that, son. It will only aggravate your punishment" cried mama Farida begging her sons.
"That's what I expected" he replied coldly and flatly.
"Sorry ma. I want to go back to the cell . Mama should just go home because there's nothing else we need to talk about"
The star got up from his seat and asked the warden to take him back to the cell. Mama farida sobbing.
