Every prostration, Diamond always asked the almighty to give the best way out of the problems that befell her husband. He also asked the owner of the universe what decision he should make. And when finished praying tahajud last night, Berlian remembered Kartika.
When the house person out doing the activity, Diamond decided to meet his best friend. Diamond believes, Kartika can help him resolve the crisis between erwin sir and her husband.
"Mama.." Diamond.
At the door of his grandfather's house, stood a woman who was no stranger to him. Her mother-in-law looked so badly hit and was crying.
"Mom, why are you crying?" tanyanya panic.
"Star... Lian" Farida's mother hugged her daughter-in-law and her cries grew.
"Why the Stars, Ma?. The stars are fine, right?" Diamond was worried that something bad was happening to her husband.
Not answering, mama Farida kept crying. Diamond took her mother-in-law in and sat down. Diamond rushed into the kitchen to fetch a glass of water.
"mama drink first yes, let's be calmer"
Diamonds help her mother-in-law drink. It was a little calmer too.
"Now the same story Lian. Mama why?" ask Diamond soft and patient.
In the wake of her crying that broke again, Mama Farida told her about her son's crazy plan. Diamond was shocked to hear it.
"No!. Stars can't do that. Instead of being free, she could be held for life if she was determined to admit to committing a murder plot" said Diamond, who balked at her husband's absurd plans.
"For that mom please be with you, meet the Stars. Only you can raise her spirits again "
No need to ask, Diamond had intended to meet the Star when he heard the story of his mother-in-law earlier.
...****************...
One Star wished, hugging the Diamond that came to visit him. But he has no power for it. Enough with Diamond coming to see him it has made his heart beat normal again.
Diamonds feel the same way. But in him there is a heartache to see for himself the state of the Star that is in disarray. Hair that is usually neat in let disheveled. A thin mustache grows over the red lips of the Star. The beard also grew scattered under her husband's chin. But the charisma of good looks of the husband does not fade at all.
"mama came to the house and told me about your plan and she asked me to come see you..." Diamond started the conversation, breaking the silence between the two.
"Oh, are you here because my mother asked?. I think you really intend to visit me" snorted the cynical Star and in the dress of his disappointment.
"So like a real Primary Star?. The powerful, arrogant and arrogant Primary Star turned out to be very weak and did not have any strength to rise up even to defend itself?." Diamond frowns.
"There's still one other thing you haven't mentioned about the Primary Star. The Primary Star is a killer"
"PLAKKK" Diamond's right hand cut hard her husband's statement.
"pardon me, star"
Diamond immediately realized and regretted his actions. He also intended to hold the cheek of the star from his slap.
"You don't want to care about me" snapped the Star while brushed aside Diamond's hand from her face.
"I will soon die on the gallows. You will be free from arrogant and arrogant men like me. You no longer need to throw away your tears crying over all my bad attitude that always hurts you" said Bintang carried by his emotions and excessive disappointment.
"So easy you want to die?" Gaping diamonds. He had not expected the mind of the Star to be so narrow.
"Then what about me?. What about our wedding?"
"You said you loved me and you promised never to hurt me in word or deed. But what you're doing right now is more painful than anything you've ever done. Maybe before you were hanged, you first attended my funeral. There you'll see how much you've hurt and even managed to steal the rest of my last breath"
The star felt in the slap for the second time.
"Lian, ka... You don't have any intentions, do you?" Diamonds are worried that they will do the negative things that Diamonds can do behind them.
"Isn't that what you want?"
The diamond stands and leaves. The stars are directly above fear.
"Lian, don't..."
The star stood up and tried to hug his wife.
"Never try to touch me if you just want to say goodbye" Diamond cried and refused in the hug.
The star continued to try to force her to embrace Diamond even though she repeatedly refused it.
"I'm sorry, Ian" said the Star after successfully pulling the body of her beloved woman in his arms.
"I can't afford to lose you, Bin. I couldn't bear to" the diamond groaned sobbing in her husband's arms.
"I can't afford to lose you either. You know that" replied the Star who increasingly tightened his embrace.
"I can't trade my freedom by letting you out of my life. I'd better rot in custody for the rest of my life"
The cry of Diamonds began to subside and he looked up. The earnestness is evident from the eyeballs of the Stars.
"I'm not a woman who has no weak side. When you are strong, I am much stronger than you. I don't care what punishment you'll receive if you're fighting to prove you're not wrong. I will always be by your side through this not as someone else, but as your wife. Even if the judge decides you are guilty, you must be sentenced for the rest of your life. I will never leave you. I will always be there for you. But, when you are weak and you give up just like that, I will be much weaker than you. I'll give up on my own and I'll be gone from your life forever"
The Star's face. The Diamond's speech aroused his spirit.
"I promise. I will fight to be free. I'm not going to do anything silly that could complicate the resolution of my punishment problem" he said firmly and passionately.
"Promise?" ask Diamond.
"Originally you still believe that I am not wrong and you will always be faithful to accompany me through all this. I will be stronger to face this ordeal because you will definitely be stronger to accompany me"
The stars smiled broadly reassuring the Diamonds. The diamond smiled back and immediately hugged the body of the Star. Now, his chest feels plong. The man she loves has returned to being herself.
"Lian, he said you left the house. Is that true?" The star turned moody remembering one thing that was almost forgotten by him.
The diamond took off her embrace and smiled fondly at her husband.
"You forgot if there is Rangga in the house?. You want Rangga to constantly tease and disturb me?"
"I understand. You deliberately live in the grandfather's house so that Rangga can not do anything to you" guess the sharp star and not bad to think again. Stars can also be quiet there are aryas who will keep the diamond as long as he is in hold.
"I'm sorry, as a husband I can't take care of you" she said.
"Your prayers will take care of me, Bin" he said softly. The stars don't know what to say anymore.
His smile expanded sensibly when he saw the surrounding situation was quiet and the prison guard was carrying one prisoner back to the cell. Even the stars do not want to waste the golden opportunity.
"I love you" Sambar Bintang cupped his wife's face and gently greeted Diamond's red-flagged lips. Diamonds were surprised if the stars could be this desperate. But he enjoyed the time when the Stars continued to play with his lips beautifully and Diamond could not allow the Stars to continue spoiling when they felt like they were watching. Spontaneous, she stomped on her husband's feet.
"Awwww.." The kiss ends, the star pinches in pain.
"why step on my foot anyway?. Sick knows" his protest ignored the cue from Diamond pointing towards his back.
"eHem.." Deheman's loud voice from behind his back Star.
The star turned around, it turned out that the person behind him was the prison warden. The star just smiled wryly and no matter who caught him making out. Different with Diamonds that look salting and shy.
"The visiting hours are over. Time to go back to the cell" the warden said.
Diamonds immediately rushed to hug her husband and did not want to have to separate again.
"Tomorrow I will come to see you again" his promise calmed the heart of the Star.
The star nodded in confidence and kissed his wife's forehead before they parted.
...****************...
"Where are you going?"
The question was raised by Mr. Erwin to his eldest daughter who was preparing to leave. The one asked just silently did not answer and walked across the family room where Mr. Erwin was sitting casually with his beloved wife.
"When, answer me your question, where are you going?" ask erwin again with a high tone of voice. Kartika had to stop. He turned around and looked disappointed his parents changed.
"When you want to go" he answered briefly.
"Where to?" mama's mother asked.
"if you want to see Lian"
"Why do you want to see that woman?" mr. erwin stood up and yelled at his biological daughter.
"Pa, Lian's tika's best friend. Tika could not stand still to let this problem drag on. Tika has to apologize and explain all this. Tika doesn't want Lian to have a thought that tika intends to take her husband. Diamonds should know that they do not agree with the conditions that you propose to free the Star" explained Kartika for the umpteenth time.
"Papa won't let you out of the house. Right now, you go into your room" have Erwin's sir snarl.
"Sorry pa, if you want to go" Kartika still forced you to go too.
"Don't argue" snapped erwin sir again defending his ego.
From the terrace of the house, a woman hesitated to knock on the door to hear the quarrel from inside the house she visited.
"Pa, just let tika want to meet the diamond. Don't make her accept the match. The stars have wives, pa. Mama does not want our children to be stamped as a snatch of husbands people are also destroyers of other people's households" said mama mela gave understanding to her husband.
"Mama better be quiet and don't interfere" said Mr. erwin.
"Pa, mama and lian are both wives, no one in the world would give their husbands to anyone else. What else must be until divorce" explained the mother mela think smarter than her husband.
The burden and guilt that Kartika carried felt lighter because the mother was on his side.
"When you go, don't mind your father. Say your apology to Diamond" tell mom to.
"Thank you ma" Kartika's smile was relieved.
"let's tell that to Ian" he continued.
"From you lowering our family's self-esteem in front of your self-informed friend, you better tell him to let go of the man you love from childhood. You first know the star and fall in love with him and you are more entitled to accompany the star as his wife" interrupted Mr. Erwin brought up the contents of his daughter's long-buried heart.
From the front door, the woman who heard the father and son quarrel staggered and held on to the sturdy pillar of the beautiful house.
"ga may love the Star" she argued with teary eyes.
"the Star may have been the prince of his childhood Kartika.not possible" he argued.
The atmosphere of the house that was stormy, for a moment quiet and mute.
"Know tika, papa match you with a star because papa knows you love him. Papa is not willing to see you suffer holding your love for so long" said Mr. erwin softened trying to take the heart of Kartika.
"Papa does not need to bring feelings of tika to smooth this matchmaking plan. Last night Tika heard directly papa talks with lawyers that papa needs billions of funds to pay off the company's debt. If no papa company will go bankrupt and our family will fall poor"
Erwin was surprised. The middle-aged man lost his mind and was nervous to explain what.
"Pa, what did Tika say was true?" mama mela was surprised, then questioned the truth of her daughter's story.
There's no denial or justification out of Erwin's mouth. He could only be weak.
"With absolutely no guess that papa could pawn the self-esteem and happiness of Tika for the sake of papa business" Kartika was disappointed and her tears broke.
"When he left, Assalamualaikum" said after he calmed down and no longer cried.
