Light For Stars
Chapter Twenty Seventy

Cakra immediately approached the Star when he saw his only brother coming home.

"Finally you come home also Star, Brother is very worried about you," said Cakra while touching the shoulder of the sister. Unfortunately the star immediately shook his brother's hand.

"Star! Don't be so impudent to your brother!" aryan Sentak.

"Pa, the new star is coming home. So don't scold him!" Cakra was trying to defend his sister.

"Stop defending me because it will make me look ugly in your eyes" said the star in a sharp tone.

"Based on the child does not know manners! Is that how you talk to your sister!" Arya again scolded the Star. "What are you doing home? Tired of having fun outside? Or is your money over? That's why you remember that you still have a home and a family?"

"Home? The family? Since when do I have that?" The star stared cynically at both of his parents.

"Star!" arya shouted at her youngest son.

"Why is Papa angry? Now I ask Papa, when was the last time you and Mama ate together with me?" The star looked at his parents in turn. "Not once? I've always eaten alone."

"Now I ask again, when papa and invite me to chat casually like other families? Never either, right? You can only scold me and punish me when you feel I'm humiliating you. Even at my graduation you never came and always sent helpers. Whatever it is that I have to do with you always ignore it. But.... "

The star paused his sentence for a while then looked cynically at the older brother.

"You guys behave differently towards him. You guys always have time for him. Actually am I not your real child so you never want to give me attention? Is there only him in your eyes?" The star pointed at the chakras. The tightness that has been squeezing is finally able to remove it.

The tired star continued to be ignored, he always felt envious of people who had happy families. Stars are also just like any other child who wants to be noticed not just scolded when he makes a mistake.

"Shut up, Amara! Don't say anything!" sela Arya's. He warned his wife not to say anything.

"But, Mum.... "

"I said shut up!" sentak Arya again. "Star, you're an adult no longer a child. You should be able to understand the condition of the people around you. You should be able to be mature in dealing with problems instead of running to negative things. What would you be if you always acted this way, huh?!"

The star breathed. "Always like this, papa just told me to be mature without introspecting myself" he said. "That's it. I am tired and want to sleep. Excuse me."

Without waiting for an answer from his parents, the Star went straight to his room.

"Mas, can't we be gentle with him?" She felt that she had failed to be a good mother to her two sons.

"Mara, my health is getting worse and worse. The chakras are the same. If we don't educate Bintang hard, when I'm not around, how can he carry out his heavy duty later. He is the only person we can hope to be able to manage the company. If we let him act like he wants to, he can't possibly change" Arya said. He gave a long explanation to his wife.

"I'm sorry, Pa, Ma, if only I were like any other child. Surely the Star does not need to be grazed this hard to make it feel ignored. Again, forgive me!" Cakra felt sorry for what happened in his family.

"No, Son. You're not wrong, neither are the stars." Amara holds the shoulder of her first son.

"Mas, I beg you. From now on don't be so hard on the stars. After all he was just a young man who missed the affection of his family. Give it to him, I'm sure that way he will definitely change for the better" said Amara.

Arya was silent. He was doubtful of what his wife had just said. "Can he really change?" muttered.
