Light For Stars
Chapter Twenty Eight

Ever since the Star was expelled by Uncle Cahyono two days ago, Light felt that there was an empty corner in his heart. No quarrel and sneer at each other for two days and it makes Light feel lonely.

"You why Aya? Auntie notice since the Star left you're more moody?" ask Aunt Laksmi. He sat on the empty bench next to his nephew.

"No aunt, Aunt must have misunderstood," replied Light.

"Your mouth may be able to say it's okay, but your eyes say otherwise. Are you starting to put your heart on the stars?" The words of Aunt Laksmi just now made Light stare at her.

"Why did Auntie say that? How could I possibly put the same heart of a spoiled guy and an arrogan like that? Speaking of Auntie Ngaco," replied Light.

"Hopefully this Auntie conjecture is wrong. Aunty does not want you to feel heartbroken because of men like her," said Aunt Laksmi. "Tante wishes you could meet a good man, who would never hurt you, and make you happy."

"Amiin, Aunt. I believe that God will never wrongly give us a mate. Whoever it is, it must be the best. So, Auntie doesn't have to worry about Aya's soul mate." The light looked at the tantenya while smiling.

"You're right, some say that a soul mate is a reflection of yourself. So, Auntie is sure God willing you will definitely get a good soul mate."

"Amen." The Light again confirms the word tantenya. The light of believing every good word is prayer.

"Ohya, Aya. Your uncle's medicine is up, can you help your aunt buy that medicine?"

"God willing can, Auntie," replied the Light.

Aunt Laksmi took out a few hundred thousand bills and gave them to the Light.

"That's to buy your medicine and transportation costs" said Aunt Laksmi.

"But... Who helps aunty nyiapin the ingredients for sale? Are there no stars here?"

"Before there were stars, we were just the two of us, right? And in fact it can, this time we will certainly be able to sell without him. Yes.. although maybe our buyers will drop dramatically from these few days," replied Aunt Laksmi.

Inevitably, the existence of Bintang was able to increase the turnover of chicken sales and pecel catfish Aunt Laksmi by more than one hundred percent.

"Yes already aunty, Aya leave now so that later can cepet go home and can help aunty." The light immediately says goodbye. "Assalammual."

"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wa barakatuh" replied Aunt Laksmi.

Light chose to ride the ojek compared to the busway or angkot because he thought it would be faster if he used the services of two-wheeled vehicles.

"Total Rp. 420,000" said the pharmacist, giving up a plastic bag filled with medicine.

"For a moment, Ma'am." The light reached into the sling bag he was using to retrieve his wallet. Unfortunately, the wallet was not found.

"My wallet? Where's my purse?" The light took out all the contents that were inside his bag. However, the purse they were looking for was not found.

"How's this? Why is my wallet gone? Hapeku too," murmured Light.

"What's up, Ma'am? Don't tell me that his mama's wallet is gone, okay?" the pharmacist said.

"Sorry, Ma'am. But.. My wallet is completely gone," replied Light.

"Sorry, Ma'am. Not that I don't empathize with what Mbak just experienced, but I'm also just a worker here. I can't give you the cure if you don't have the money." The plastic bag that had been handed over to Light was again taken by the pharmacist.

"Yes, it's okay. Excuse me first." Light was forced to leave the pharmacy empty-handed.

"What about uncle's medicine? How am I supposed to get home?" Light murmuring.

The light chose to rest at a stop. I don't know how many times people go back and forth to get on and off the bus without feeling it has been 2 hours more Light sitting there.

"Then how do I get home? Aunty must be worried because until this afternoon I have not reached home." The light saw a clock hanging in front of a store that was right in front of the stop.

"Well, there's a pretty girl." There was the sound of someone coming to the stop. There were three delinquents who came to the stop. They stared at the Light with a strange look.

"Hi, girl. Temptation on dong!" one of the three people began to walk closer to the Light. Because of fear, Light chose to leave the place and less careful almost he was hit by a passing car.

"I'm sorry, sorry, I didn't mean it" Light said with a half-bent body.

The person driving the car came down and came to the Light.

"How are you here?" ask the guy.

Light looked up.

"You!" Show the Light to the person.
