Forced In Honey
21 Remembered Umi Stars

After putting his phone back, Ahmad went to the Star room.

There the Star still remained seated at her study table with her study lamp still on.

"Not sleeping, son?" Sapa ahmad

The star turned to the origin of the voice behind her.

Abah approached the Star seat and held both shoulders.

"Don't push yourself too hard, son, if you're sleepy rest. There is still tomorrow to continue" said Mr Ahmad

"Yes bah, this is the responsibility. It's still 9 o'clock anyway"

Mr. Ahmad sat on the edge of the Bintang mattress while continuing to pay attention to the Star whose hand still did not stop playing on his laptop keyboard.

The star initially thought that his brother had come out of his room until he remained focused on his laptop screen.

When Bintang was thirsty and wanted to drink, he saw his brother beside him.

"Loh abah is still here, Bintang thinks you've been sleeping in your room"

The star picked up his water bottle and sat down next to his brother.

"Is there anything that needs to be the same star?"

"You thirsty? Drink first" said Ahmad

The star opened the bottle and drank it.

"What's up?"

"Tomorrow to go to college, what?"

Ask Ahmad

The star shook his head "No, tomorrow the star is empty. What's up"

"Tomorrow Dimas and his family will come"

Degs...

The Star's heart instantly beat faster than before.

The star that was originally staring at his brother's face now immediately looked down at the minun botil in his hand.

The feeling began to fidget erratically.

Even the stars are nervous.

"Tomorrow...?" Ask the stars in a soft voice

Ahmad nodded yes.

"Yes son, tomorrow at 2pm. Have you prepared your CV?"

The star nodded and went back to drinking.

Seeing the reaction of the Star when you tell it it is clear that the Star is very nervous.

Mr. Ahmad's right hand held the hand of the Star and his left hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Why are you so nervous, son?"

"Ga tau abah, suddenly a star nervous and so nervous gini"

"Be nervous. It's just ta'aruf. The end result will be shared with God. Oya, what about your Istikharah prayer, have you got any guidance from Allah?"

The star shook his head and rested his head on his shoulders.

"The star still doubts"

"What makes you doubt, son"

The star raised its head and stared fixedly at his brother's face.

"What if ta'aruf walks up to the undercover?" Ask her innocently

Abah smiled as she held the cheek of the Star

"Yes Alhamdulillah, means your son has met his soul mate"

The star furrowed his eyebrows and his lips began to pout "Cock away from the grin?"

"Which parents wouldn't be happy to see their child get married?"

"Well, if Bintang got married here who is it? The time of the Star should be left alone?"

Abah laughed while rubbing the Star's hair

"Why did you think about it? Already, don't think about anywhere. Now you rest, sleep. I'm going to the room to rest"

Mr. Ahmad then rubbed the Star's hair and kissed her forehead.

The star stared at his brother from behind until he walked out the door of his room.

As she closed the door, the tears of the stars began to fall down her cheeks.

She could not imagine how lonely she would be if Bintang was married and had to come to her husband's house.

Even Mr. Ahmad chose not to marry again to focus on taking care and raising Bintang with 2 roles, as father and mother.

The star then lies on his bed with his face down.

He drowned his face on his pillow and continued to rage.

While Mr. Ahmad, he sat on the edge of his mattress and also began to shed tears.

Honestly, Mr. Ahmad was very happy if his daughter was going to get married, but he remembered his late wife.

Mr. Ahmad took a picture of his late wife, uminya Bintang then looked at him deeply, his eyes seemed to be talking say his heart.

"I don't know if our daughter is getting married soon or not. But now she has grown up to be a beautiful girl, smart and also sholeha. If God allowed you to live in the moment, you would be very proud to see our daughter...."

Mr. Ahmad spoke for himself with a picture of his late wife.

I think he misses her so much tonight.

Mr. Ahmad rubbed his eyes because his vision began to blur because it was covered in tears.

Mr. Ahmad then went to the bathroom to clean himself with ablution, after which he immediately lay on the bed to rest.

The Dimas house

After the night grave, Dimas and his papa sat in the living room while chatting with the.

Miss Ririn came and joined them.

"Did you tell me tomorrow we're going there?" Tanya Dimas started the conversation

"Here, papa has called him earlier" replied Hendra

"What did he say, Pa?"

"Yes he just said yes, we will wait. Like that"

Dimas smiled to himself because in his shadow the Star was smilingly welcoming his arrival.

Hani who just came down from his room immediately sat next to Dimas to make Dimas surprised.

"Hayooooo's.... Again wondering what hayo..."

Dimas who was initially smiling turned sullen because of Hani.

"What the hell" cried Dimas

"Oh yes Han, tomorrow your brother wants to start ta'aruf" said Ms. Ririn

Hani immediately glanced towards Dimas with a sharp "Ta'aruf? Really brother?"

Dimas nodded yes.

"Who's same? The same girl whose sister showed me the picture?"

Dimas back to the. Hani was surprised because after her older sister was not so proposed to Bintang because her mother did not agree.

"Are you seriously marrying that girl?"

"Yes, why are you wondering, instead of knowing?" Ask Dimas

Hani shook his head then looked at his mama "This is really why would you want to marry that girl?"

Ms. Ririn nodded "Not married, but still ta'aruf first she said. Marriage or not see how forward dear"

Hani moved away from her seat and moved to sit in the middle of her mom and dad.

"So your mom seriously agrees?"

Mr. Hendra put his arm around Hani's shoulder while asking

"Why are you so surprised? Do you mind?"

Hani take off papa's hand "Ih papa sama mama can you agree anyway? I ngak!"

"What's the reason you don't like the stars?" Dimas asked as he looked at his sister's heean

"Sister, he thinks I'm better off. Wear hijab, always dress every day cake mothers know. He's a tacky cake tau" the star sneered

"Just because of his hijab-wearing appearance you judge him tacky. You don't know what he can do, if you know you won't make fun of him like this" Dimas didn't accept when Hani, his sister mocked the Star and defended him.

"But big brother, Hani doesn't agree!"

"Why?"

"Yes, I don't agree!"

Dimas stood up from the sofa "If you have a good reason to reject your decision, maybe I can consider it later. But if your reason is just a matter of appearance, you'll stick to your decision" Dimas said, then went to his room

"Sister, I'm your sister, right? Why is my opinion not important to you at all??" Shouted Hani

But Dimas did not turn his head and still stepped up the stairs.
