Go home

It was very late when the reporters dispersed. Jayden decides to go to Delia's parents' house.

Just as Jayden got up from his seat, the voice of someone behind him stopped his steps.

“You want to go Jay?” It was the sound of the stars.

“Yes, I have to go home,” Jayden replied.

“Go home? Go home to where? Isn't this your home?”

“I'll be home Delia.”

“Delia yes,” reset Star so softly, “Jay, may I ask you to stay? I really need someone right now. I'm alone here Jay. There Delia was with her parents. Please.” Stars beg.

Jayden walked closer towards the Star that was still standing under the stairs. “Bi, sorry I can't.” Jayden paused his sentence for a moment. “My relationship and Delia have just improved, I don't want to disappoint her, especially her parents.”

“So yes.” The stars look disappointed. “I'm sorry I troubled you too much Jay. After what I did, I am not even entitled to ask you anything.”

“How about you call your parents to come?” proposed Jayden.

The stars stared into Jayden's eyeballs. “After the events of that day, I didn't even have the courage to ask them, Jay. I'm totally on my own right now.” The stars began to shed tears.

Jayden is worried right now. He had to meet Delia, but it was also impossible to leave the Star in such a state.

“Prepare. I'll take you to your parents' house.”

Stars shake. “No Jay, I don't want.”

“Bi, the anger of parents, is unlikely to hurt his own child. Moreover, I know, your mother loves you very much.”

The star seems to think before agreeing to Jayden's call.

***

“Where else?”

“Roof left.”

Jayden and Bintang are on their way to the Star's parents' house.

“Stop here Jay, home mom get into the alley there.” The star pointed towards a narrow alley that only entered the motorcycle.

The star got off the car he was riding in, while Jayden followed after parking his vehicle on the side of the road.

It was so late, no one was there. Everyone must have slept in their homes.

Jayden walked with the stars. Both of them were silent, dissolving in their respective minds.

The star stops in front of a modest house with a 5-watt yellow light illuminating the terrace. He stood at the door for a few moments until someone opened the door from the inside.

“Dad?” say Star.

The middle-aged man standing before him silently stared at the arrival of two humans whom he had not expected.

Instead of responding to Bintang, Subandi, who had previously heard the truth about Jayden and Bintang's contract marriage to his wife, turned around immediately and moved his hand to close the door again.

“Dad, please open, Yah.” Stars beg.

“Who came Yah?” meli asked as she walked out of the room.

“Yeah, please open the door Yah.” The stars still begged.

“What is a Star Well?” ask Meli to her husband.

“Why is the door not opened?” Meli moves in to open the door, but Subandi stops her.

“Let it be Mom. Let the child learn from his mistakes.”

“Yeah, it's late. There's no way he's coming this late if there's nothing urgent.” Meli pleaded with her husband. “Well, we as parents should have a big heart. It does not mean that we correctly assume the mistakes that the Stars make. But, if not for us as his parents, to whom else would the Stars share? We certainly do not want if the Star fell into the wrong path?”

Subandi is silent, but Meli knows that her silence means she agrees with everything she says.

Meli walked towards the door to open the door for the Star. As soon as he saw the woman who had given birth to him into the world, the Star decayed. He hugged Meli's legs with tears breaking from both of her eyes.

“Bu, sorry I'm Bu,” said the Star in between her tears.

“Stand Nak,” said Meli while bringing the Stars to stand. He brought his only puppet princess to enter his simple house.

Meli went to the kitchen to bring a drink to the stars.

“My life is ruined, Bu.” The star sobbed again after finishing his drink.

“What do you say Nak?” Meli doesn't seem to understand.

“Mom haven't watched the news today?”

Meli.

“Everyone knows about my contract marriage and Jay, Mom. They even know that the baby I'm carrying isn't Jay.”'s

“What?!” Meli could not cover her surprise. “Then, who is the father of this child Nak?” ask Meli while stroking the flat stomach of the Star.

“It ... That's ...” The star glanced at Jayden who had just stood there watching the interaction of the two mothers and children.

“That's Dave's son, Bu.” Jayden answered.

Meli pressed her chest that felt tight. Her heart was broken to hear that her only child was pregnant by another man, who was not her husband.

Unlike Subandi, he seemed not surprised at all. Previously, he had already known the news about the Star. The passenger told me. Of course the passenger did not know that the person he was talking to was the father of the person he was talking about.

“Bu, my life is ruined, Bu.” The star put its head on his mother's chest. He cried bitterly in his mother's arms.

“That's all a result of everything you do yourself!” Subandi commented.

Hearing his father's words, the stars grew sobbing.

“Yah, already.” Meli acts as a mediator. “Tonight, you sleep here Nak.” His eyes turned to Jayden. “And you—“

“I'll be home, Mom,” cut Jayden, “my wife wait,” he continued.

The heart of the Star was so saddened to hear Jayden's words. He was so proud to call Delia his wife. And what is it itself? Isn't he legally Jayden's wife?

Jayden went home after that.

“Rest Son, tomorrow we think together what steps we will take.”

Stars nodded. He went into his old room. The atmosphere was still the same as the last time he remembered. A small bed with a foam mattress measuring 1 meter x 2 meters is placed attached to the wall. A plastic cabinet, and also a study table. Very minimalist, but full of memories.

The stars lay their bodies on the bed. The shadow of his childhood just flashed. It was those difficult times that encouraged him to keep working hard so that he could succeed. In fact, he took the wrong path.

If only I could go back in time. It will not go the same way. It will choose a good path even if it is a bit longer.

“Dave ... You cannot live happily while I live suffering.” Star monologue.

An idea came into the head of the Star. He woke up from his sleep and took his cell phone. A smile was carved there.
