"Yes, Cake" replied the smiling Star taking the paper bag that was on the table.
The star came out of the house walking towards Vano's house. This time he will be even harder to reach for Vano's love.
Arriving in front of Vano's house, Bintang immediately knocked on the door.
Geck, tok, tok.
Cklek.
The door opened and Aaron smiled.
"Sore, sir," said the Star also smiling.
"Sore too! Come on in, Bi!" bring Aaron.
"Thank you sir, I'm just here to drop off this cake." The star gave Aaron a paper bag.
"Well, thank you, son."
Aaron immediately received the paper bag given by the Star.
"Same-sama, sir, but where is Brother Vano? How is it not visible?" ask the Star who did not see the existence of Vano around the terrace.
"No, he's daydreaming!" aaron answered by pointing at Vano who was sitting on the swing under the mango tree while daydreaming.
"Alright sir, then the stars will greet him after that just come home."
"Yes, hold him!"
The star left Aaron. He walked over to Vano.
"Sore, Brother Vano," said the star who was already beside Vano.
"You're home, Hav?" Vano turned towards the stars.
"Who's Hav?" ask the Star by frowning.
"Oh, you Bi, sorry, I mispronounced," replied Vano smiling faintly.
"So I must have thought of the name I just mentioned! Who the hell is he, him?" ask the stars with curiosity.
"He's Havivah!"
There was a hint of jealousy in the Star's heart, when Vano mentioned Havivah's name.
"Is Brother Vano close to him? Then where is he now? How come I never saw him?" ask the stars in full search.
"Not just close to her, but she's my fiance and now she's studying in Cairo. A week ago he said he would be home soon in these weeks, but until now has not come and I have missed him a lot" explained Vano sadly.
Deg
The heart of the Star feels like being dislodged, when you hear Vano already has a fiance who is studying in the land of people.
The star squeezed the dress used to feel pain and tightness in the chest, even he was no longer able to say anything to Vano.
"Bi, what's wrong with you?" asked Vano who saw the Star just silently and no longer said anything.
"It's okay, brother. Sorry, I have to go home!" said Bintang, painstakingly holding back his tears from falling in front of Vano.
After saying so the star immediately stepped away quickly so that Vano did not see his eyes that had begun to glaze over and with just one blink then his tears would fall.
Vano who saw the Star go just shook his head in surprise, because it was not usually his best friend that was so.
Arriving at home, Bintang rushed into his room and locked tightly.
The star went up on the bed and lay on his stomach shedding his tears there.
Pupus is the hope and dream of the Star, to get love from Vano, because in reality the person he has loved has been the property of others.
It hurts the heart of the Star to know all this reality, but he can not do anything, because his relationship with Vano is only a friend and nothing more. Now the Star must be able to accept all that even though it is difficult.
'Oh my God, why does it feel this sick, knowing he already belongs to someone else!' inner Star cried bitterly with tears still pouring profusely on her cheeks.
***
This morning Bintang along with Ami and Ahmad were having breakfast together, but this time he just played his food without eating it and with a blank look.
"Bi, are you sick?" asked Ahmad who saw the stars not as cheerful as usual.
"No!" answer the Star without looking at Ahmad.
"Why isn't it eaten?" ask Ami.
"Where are you full of it? Just eat it yet!" ami's surprise is that she's seen a star so strange since she came home from Vano's house yesterday.
"Do you have a problem, Bi? If so, try a story with Grandpa or Grandma, who knows if we can help you!" ahmad said, staring at the stars.
"No one, Cake!"
"Yes, eat your breakfast now!" ahmad's orders.
"Yes" replied the star briefly.
The star ate his breakfast lazily.
"I'm done!" The star stood up from its seat.
"Are you going to teach, Bi?" ask the worried Ami, because today the Star looks different than usual.
"Yes!"
"It looks like you're not okay, it's better that you don't teach today" Ami suggested.
"Today fifth grade is no repeat and I have to go."
"Yes, let's go" asked Ahmad.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Mother don't worry, I'll take care of her" murmured Ahmad smilingly rubbing Ami's arm.
Ami smiled nodding her head.
Outside the house, Ahmad picked up his bike and immediately told Bintang to ride. After the grandson sat properly behind him, he immediately ran his bike slowly towards school.
Arriving at school Ahmad sat in his chair of work, as well as the Star.
Not long after Vano came and immediately put his bag on his desk.
"Morning, Bi," said Vano to Bintang while sitting in his chair.
"By the morning too, brother!" answer the stars who are trying to be mediocre.
The star stood up from his seat then he picked up a textbook.
"I go first, Brother," said Bintang passed by without waiting for an answer from Vano.
Vano could only catch his breath looking at the Star's unusual attitude. He immediately came out of the room to teach.
In class, Bintang shared the matter of repetition, after which he sat daydreaming and did not see his students doing their duties.
The hour of rest has arrived. The star rushed to the canteen, but this time he did not wait for Vano.
In the canteen Bintang sat alone waiting for his order to be served.
"Hay, Bi," said Aldo who came with a female teacher of the same age with the Stars.
"Sit down!" star's command without answering Aldo's greeting.
"Your tumben today, not with Vano? Usually everywhere!" said the woman.
"Sir Vano is still teaching, Win!"
"Sir, sit down, don't stand up!" aldo's command, who had been sitting.
"Oh, yes, I forgot!" She smiled and sat down next to Aldo.
"You have a problem, right? Dong's story is the same as ours!" aldo said by observing the face of the Star that looks moody.
"I'm heartbroken" said the Star.
"What's? Broken heart? Same who?" sanya with her face forward looking at the Star. But he can already guess if the Star of the heart because of Vano, because it is not usually the Star separated from Vano.
Star silent, he hesitated to say who broke his heart.
"Come on Bi, just tell us. Don't hold on to sadness alone!" insist Aldo.
"Yes, Bi. Talk to us so that your feelings can be plong," said Winda by holding the hand of the Star.
"My heart was broken by him" said the Star.
