Give me back my husband's smile
CHAPTER 111: Locked In A Warehouse
The Meeting Room of Faculty of Fashion Design
The middle star stands before the testing lecturer and his guidance lecturer, the woman seems confident in delivering a presentation about the results of the thesis she has lived. Although the middle star is pregnant, plus blasphemy from the people around him is not an obstacle for Bintang to obtain a bachelor's degree. So far he has struggled to complete his final task, at least Alvaro would be proud to have a wife like him.
Regarding Alvaro actually Bintang was a little disappointed because the man was reluctant to attend his hearing on the grounds that Alvaro was busy working in the office. The star did not dare to force her husband because lately Alvaro is often emotional due to trivial things even though before Alvaro always acted softly to him. But now when the Star makes a mistake, the man does not hesitate to scold him. The star chose to budge, after all there was nothing she needed to worry about because the pestle in her current house had separated from its host.
The star refocused on the power point on the LCD screen which explained the results of the design he researched. "Materials and traditional motifs with a very strong cultural identity can be transformed into a very modern and contemporary outfit. When I was in Surabaya I visited a boutique, they turned out to produce traditional regional motif clothing designs. So I did research and studied there, until I created a dress design by combining traditional motifs with modern. Where my target market is among young people, the clothes I make do highlight the modern side but there are still traditional elements." Said the Star while showing a luxurious dress attached to the mannequin.
The dress was a design from him that he had sewed himself, indeed the work took a long time but Bintang was satisfied because he could present his work fashion design. The three lecturers in front of him seemed to nod their heads, they appreciated the design of clothes from the stars.
"Good, I really like the design you make." Said the examiner lecturer while circulating a focused look at the dress in front of him researching each pattern attached to the white cloth. "How long have you studied it in Surabaya?" Ask the middle-aged man.
"Just 2 weeks sir." Answer the stars.
"For the design you make I admit the dress is really interesting, if I have a daughter maybe I will buy the dress you made. My dear son is all boys." The middle-aged lecturer chirped the atmosphere so as not to tense up. "For the data you describe in your script everything is complete, but you need to attach the details of your sketch design with the narrative in order to be understood in more detail."
"Good sir." The star received input from the tester lecturer, he felt happy because they looked enamored with the fashion design from him.
"Welcome you're declared a pass to your final assignment Star." He boasted a smile hearing the words of the examiner lecturer, finally Bintang completed the final stage of his lecture even though he was a little embarrassed because of the many problems he faced. The reflex star rubbed his big belly as if to show his son how happy he was right now.
"Thank you sir." Said Bintang, he then immediately cleaned up all his books because after that there was still another turn of students who will conduct a hearing this morning.
The star picked up his bag, and he walked out of the courtroom. The star who initially smiled suddenly changed his face look gloomy when his feet stepped out of the fashion design faculty building. His eyes looked at a girl surrounded by several other students. After the exam, all the students were greeted by their friends and they even brought a bouquet of flowers and chocolates, how happy they were. The star could only look at her with a slick feeling, she knew enough that her family was busy. It's okay, this time his family no one welcomes him not without reason.
The star stumbled, itself alone. Her husband refused to come to greet her success in completing the thesis exam. His mother and father are also busy working abroad. Star friends who used to be close to him now stay away just because of annoying rumors circulating. He was moody as if he was left behind and dumped, the instant the Star shook his head. Instead of him envying the sight of happy people in front of his eyes making his heart grow irritated, the better the Star immediately went home. There was fear in his mind when he was in the campus environment because people looked at him one eye as if sneering with a piercing look.
His foot stepped towards the parking lot where his car was, but someone pulled his hand strong to make the Star almost slammed down. He turned his head to look at the three girls before him in annoyance, the girls were his schoolmates.
“Caca, Ratna, Syifa. What's up?” Asked the Star while looking at the girl, his chest was rumbling trying to contain his emotions. The star asked nicely because he did not want to fight with his three famous friends often became the culprit of the problem in this campus.
“Still dare this actor appear kampus with confidence, cih basic shameless.” Cibir Caca with his scathing mouth insulted the Star.
Syifa stared at the cynical star. “Where the cheap girl's veins have been cut off, I heard from the rumors that circulated the Moon has divorced from Alvaro. Tega once Bintang destroyed his own brother's marriage, no wonder anyway because nyokapnya Bintang used to be a prostitute likes to seize people's husbands.”
The stars clenched their hands hearing their insults addressed to their mother. “Shut your mouth Syifa. You can berate me, but don't take my parents' names.”
Ratna advanced, she approached the Star as she stared intently at the woman making the Star instantly swerve. “Why?! “ Jerk Ratna with a tone that is loud enough to make the ears of anyone who hears it buzz.
“Everyone in this campus already knows that you are a child prostitute, don't worry about you.” Ratna pushing the body of the Star made the woman no longer able to stem her emotions.
“Do not touch me jerk!” Bintang Boldly, he retorted by pushing rough Ratna until the woman fell. Syifa and Caca gawked as the Star acted violently by pushing her companion to the brink of falling.
“Ahh, dammit!” Ratna stood up, she rubbed her dirty short skirt against the dust. The star and Ratna stared at each other fiercely. The emotions of the Star this time really peaked, he could not constantly be denigrated by others like this. The limits of the Star's patience are exhausted, whoever disturbs it, the Star will fight.
“Lack of Dawn Yes you Star!” Jerking Ratna, it felt like she wanted to scratch the face of this pregnant woman in front of her. He did not like the existence of stars who were pretentious yet foul-hearted. “Friends let's punish this whore.” Ratna's orders instruct both her friends.
Caca and Syifa nodded, the two girls then held the hands of the Star on the right and left side making the Star rampage. He tried hard to rebel so that the grip of their hands was released. “You're all crazy, let go of me!” Shouting stars ignited emotions.
“Let me go! What do you guys want to do, huh? I'll scream for everyone to come.” Threatening the Stars but not harried by Ratna and her friends. The three of them laughed out loud at the words of the Star just now.
“Hahahaha, who would want to help a hypocritical prostitute like you huh?! Everyone in this campus hates you so much, so if you want to scream please shout as loud as you can hahaha.” Syifa laughed satisfiedly at the silent star stiffening, she realized that now people did not care about her anymore. They all considered Bintang a despicable woman for seizing Alvaro from her brother.
“Please-please help me!” Shouting the Star hoping that someone would hear it, he currently needed help from the entanglement of these three crazy girls.
“No need to scream, noisy tau.” Syifa's jerk was getting stronger gripping the Star's wrist.
“Don't waste your energy, after all you scream as loud as no one wants to help you.” Timpal Caca said they were dragging the stars into the deserted building behind the campus.
“Please let me go..hiks...hiks.” The stars could not stem her tears, she was completely terrified.
They dragged the Star into the warehouse, Ratna eagerly pushed the body of the Star into a stuffy and dark room. The girl snatched the Star sling bag violently.
“Restore my bag!” The snapping Star tried to snatch his possessions, but Caca and Syifa held back their hands until the Star could not twitch.
“No, your bag I confiscated.” Reply Ratna smiled cynically disdainfully. “Now mending you rest only. Sleep in the warehouse until tomorrow morning hahaha.” The star glared at Ratna's words, she shook her head.
“No, I don't want to!” Caca pushed back the body of the Star to hit the empty cardboard pile behind him. The three girls ran out of the barn leaving the Star inside the dirty room.
BLAMMING
The star turned its head, and its eyes were perfectly rounded when it saw the three girls locking themselves in the barn. The sound of laughter they could still hear the stars. Caca, Syifa and Ratna were delighted to be able to teach Star lessons. The three of them had long hated the Star even before the unpleasant rumors about the Star circulated. To her Star was a hypocritical woman who looked innocent, they did not care about the state of the Star that was pregnant. A cheap woman like the Star is nothing to be sorry for.
“Come we go home!” Ratna's orders were obeyed by her two friends. Ratna threw a sling bag owned by Bintang into the garbage can. They then walked away leaving the Star locked in the warehouse.
"Please..." The star rotated the doorknob many times. "Open door! Anyone out there please, please don't prank me like this I'm afraid. Please open the door!"
"Please..please...please."
"I'm locked in here please!"
The crying star. "I'm afraid of hicks.hiks..." His hand even felt pain from being too strong banging on the door.
Dor..dor.
"Please get me out of here.hiks..."
The stars were sitting limply against the wall, the shed was very dark. He was confused about having to make an effort especially so that he could get out. She wanted to call her husband for help but his phone was in his bag. Oh my god, how is this? The star cowering in fear, he was confused thinking of a way to be free from here. Accidentally, his eyes found an air vent on the roof. Not wanting to give up, she wiped her cheek-drenched tears. The star stood up, dimly he saw a chair covered in cloth, and he shifted it.
Without a doubt the Star climbed the chair, he slightly tiptoed so that his hand could reach the ventilation hole but unexpectedly the leg of his chair was broken because it had been weathered. The body of the Star smashed into the closet behind him to make the closet shake.
BRUKK
"Yetoooo." The star fell flat on its back along with a huge closet hitting its left leg. "Hiks..hiks."
"Pleasegggg." The star shouted loudly, his hands reflexively holding his stomach that hurt. The star swore he would avenge the cruel deeds of the three girls after this, the child in the womb almost wretched because of them.
"Please, I'm in here, please, please, hiks.." His knees were completely linu, it felt like his leg bones were crushed. Trying to pull his legs is not an easy matter, his legs are difficult to move because of the heavy pressure from the big closet.
The star felt useless he screamed as loud as anything no one would hear, because this place is very quiet. I don't know when he'll be stuck here, he can only pray to God that there's a good man to help him.
Seriate...
