Star pretended to be indifferent at Zafa's arrival. The handsome lecturer doesn't seem to like his ex-girlfriend being called.
"Why did you tell them to Star?"
Seeing Zafa seem to be nagging Dian's mom with her country language, Making Star finally speak.
"I asked aunty. Don't blame aunty. If you want to be mad, be mad at me."
"I am not angry with my mother" Zafa said. Star pulled next to her lips carved a slanted smile.
"Only a blind man can't see the anger in your eyes. I'm just a student, but that doesn't mean I can be lied to by a lecturer like you."
"It has. It's been. Mama's sorry if you don't like it, Zaf. Don't fight with Star."
Dian got up to his feet after rubbing Star's arm. "Aunty's going to the room first."
Dian wasn't looking at Zafa. He just left. Zafa ruffled his hair in frustration. She followed her mother. Zafa was very upset with his mother's attitude. If this is the case, the problem will get longer.
"Well" call Zafa. However, dian did not look at all. He went into the room and Zafa followed him like a chicken.
"Mah." Mah." Zafa touched her mother's shoulder. He knew he shouldn't have acted that way. It's just that when both of his pasts were called, somehow Zafa felt unhappy. Star is not who she is either.
"Sorry Zafa, Mah." Dian sat on the edge of the bed. He stared at Zafa flatly.
"You're not wrong, it's mama's fault. Mama's too involved in your problems. Mama is sorry. Mama wants to call papa first. Take a break." Dian spoke while staring at her phone.
Zafa knelt in front of his mother. He didn't want to hurt the woman he loved the most.
"Mama's not mad, Zaf. Sleep there. Star must be outside waiting for you," Dian said. However, he was still reluctant to look at his first son.
"Mah." Mah." Accuse Zafa of his eyes wet. No matter how tough he is now he will still be weak to face this one woman.
For Zafa, Mama Dian is his world. She was a foreign woman who was willing to sacrifice her entire life to raise herself who was not her flesh blood.
Zafa placed his head on Dian's lap. Without feeling her tears had just flowed.
"Mama's just worried you're gonna keep going like this. Mom and Dad won't be with you forever. There comes a time when your mom will leave you.
Mama just wants when that happens, you already have someone who loves you as much as your mama loves you," Dian said in a trembling voice.
Dian also has no power to shed her tears. Zafa lifted his head and wiped his mother's tears.
"Mama doesn't want to understand you, but until when will you live with that painful past. If you're drawn out by your past. You will never have a future.
Mama saw Star's a good girl. He also looks to love you very much. If you still drag on with your heartache, you'll lose him."
Zafa was silent when his mother gave advice. He has made peace with his past. Just to start again. Zafa was still reluctant. He was afraid that he would return to disappointment.
Without the two of them realizing, Star had since stolen the conversation between the mother and child. He did not intend to eavesdrop initially. He wants to go back to his room. However, while passing through the room of Mama Dian who was not covered entirely and heard Zafa's words. Star stopped his steps.
Star chose to return to her room after the silence was created.
