Kirana
Chapter 43. Grieving Stars

"Duke!" Kirana remembered the name.

"Yes, you remember my name."

"Of course I remember the name of the person who helped me, I was just pangling with your appearance. I don't recognize you." Kirana noticed the Duke's appearance.

The Duke's appearance is different, his hair is different models become Korean-style bangs. Formal clothes with a suit, although a little tangled maybe because it is already hours home from work.

Shoe watches and everything looks expensive, unlike the simple meeting of the time a free adventurer style.

The Duke smiled, "You must not have thought that I was so handsome, right?"

"Ih, narcissistic you!" Kirana smiled.

"But, right, you're getting better looking like this. Even though I like you simple."

"Why is that?" asked the Duke while driving and occasionally his neutrals stared at the rearview of the car.

"I feel like I can be closer and more open to you, because I feel like we're the same, but after knowing you're real I'm a little awkward and embarrassed. We are so different."

"I don't like what you're saying, why is it that if we look different, can't we be friends just because of differences in possessions, all humans are just different tests?" The Duke was a little bit thin because he really hated someone judging from looks to make friends.

"It's not so, people will definitely assume I'm the one who took advantage of you."

"What, are you like that?"

"Of course not!"

"Yes, what's the problem? If you don't feel like it. Let others think their thoughts. We who live our own lives, some are tested with excess possessions or possessions that are lacking, all we have these tests, possessions, family, science, love, everything."

"You're right." Kirana was embarrassed, because of her shallow thinking.

"Kirana, where do you work? Why were you crying in the middle of the street?"

The Duke's question, reminded Kirana back to the fact that, her husband had remarried. His eyes returned to glass.

True said the Duke, everything is a test. Treasure, family, marriage all that happens to her is a test. She is currently on trial for her marriage to a married and polygamous husband.

Does he have to accept all of this or opt back and ask for a divorce? Although they married without love, but still as a wife, she did not want to be in honey.

The Duke glanced at Kirana, he saw Kirana who suddenly had a sad face and was pensive.

"Kirana, sorry but where are you going? I don't know your home address."

"Huh .. oh, go home to ...." Kirana thinks where she's going, to Orion's house, or her old boarding house?

"I don't want to go home yet. Can you take me to a place that makes me calm."

The car drove off, carrying Kirana who was in ruins.

Meanwhile, in the hospital. The situation in the ICU room was very gripping and suffering. Because Maya is critical, according to doctors her life is not long.

The doctor asks them to let her go so that Maya can go in peace. The doctor asked for one person who could be inside.

Star out of the room, she lets Maya's first father be next to her son.

The star looks at her phone, afraid Kirana calls her. However, nil. No messages or calls from Kirana. Has Kirana arrived home? She wants to call and ask, but she is afraid Kirana will ask her where she is.

He can't keep lying. Her heart always felt guilty after she lied to Kirana. Especially now that he felt very guilty about the fatal thing he had done.

She is forced to marry Maya, at the request of her father who wants to realize Maya's last wish. She wanted to marry a star. Maya's father finds out from the diary she found in Maya's room.

The star initially refuses and tells Maya's father that she is actually married. The star does not want to betray his wife. He also never wanted to be polygamous.

Maya's father insists, she begs for her son's happiness. This is her last wish, Maya's life won't be long. At least she died in a state of already being the wife of the Star. I don't need to because it's just a serial wedding.

The star thinks hard, his mind is at war with logic, pity for friends and responsibility as a husband, as if arguing in his heart.

He finally decides to grant Maya's father's request. This is the last thing he can do for his best friend, hopefully his best friend can go quietly and peacefully.

Kirana definitely understood, she would explain after everything was done. The nurse called the Stars to come in, she was wearing sterile clothes, and went inside the ICU room.

"Sir Star please talk to Maya, this may be our last chance to be with Maya." Maya's father wiped away the tears that fell on her cheek.

The star sits on the side seat of Maya's gurney.

"Maya, wife. I have granted your wish to marry me. We are bound for an instant, I will always pray for you here. You will always be in my heart, go quietly. I'm willing to let you go." Stars see tears falling on the temples of Maya.

Maya can hear every word. "As your husband will guide you." The star then kissed Maya on the forehead, and kissed her lips for a while, then she whispered two sentences of shahada to Maya.

The star can feel Maya's hand moving and Maya's body stiffening and the sound of the instrument sounds.

The doctor approached and illuminated Maya's eyes with a small flashlight. The doctor then mentions the time of Maya's death.

Maya's father cries and hugs Maya. The star also wept for the departure of his best friend and his wife.

The doctor covered Maya's body with a white shroud.

Star out she prepared all the necessities for Maya's funeral.
