Morning Star
Messier

"Happy birthday, Ra. How's it? You're surprised, right? Don't like? My idea is this" Adira's cerocos came to me first. Stretched into his two hands as if he was showing the atmosphere of the cafe they had designed.

I circulated my pandagan in admiration. The cafe was decorated with balloons. The table in front of me has also served some food and drinks. And a tart on top that says 'happy b'day Kejora'.

"Like it, brother. I still can't believe you guys are doing this," I answered honestly as I wiped my tears and chuckled lightly.

"Good day of the Kejora hatch. Sori kita-we are late. Actually we want the supraise love right on your birthday. The star even refused. He said the stars want to take you both. So gini right, we're the last," said Beval who quite astonished me.

My mind immediately looked back on the events of my birthday night yesterday. I disappointed the Star for not meeting him on the hill and hurting his heart. I don't know what the Star prepared that night to celebrate my failed birthday.

"Happy Birthday The Morning Star. Cieeeee, the older sister's birthday is tandem doang," Abel ambushed. The tomboy hugged me briefly and nudged my arm teasingly.

"Thank you again, everyone. I'm so confused about how you guys bales," I replied suddenly awkwardly.

I actually don't feel good about them. Surely they don't know what really happened between me and the Stars last night. I don't even dare to tell them this.

"It's a bales. You make Bintang happy only we - we're already on seneng," said Beval responding to my words just now.

"Well, I agree," Adira said quickly.

My head is getting lower. Staring at the floor I was on while imagining what if they all knew that I had disappointed the Stars. I could not bear to be honest and break their expectations.

"Eh, btw which star? How come no one's yet?" Abel's question made me raise my eyes.

"Star?" I repeated quickly. "He's coming here?"

"hey are. Yakali we love her boyfriend's birthday he does not follow," replied Beval with his kekehannya.

"Why are you panicking about Ra?" Abel asked the increasingly agitated me on the spot.

I don't know if it's the right moment to tell them the truth or not. I am still struggling with my own thoughts.

"Lo ain't pa-pa is Ra?" Keisha whispered while touching my shoulder. Maybe he also suspects a change in my facial expression right now.

All eyes were suddenly on me. They like to keep their own questions in their heads. Until the sound of the cafe door opens a sign of visitors entering distract them. And then I turned around and saw who came with a great racing heart.

"Hi all. Sori, we got him late. The show hasn't disbanded, has it?"

I glared sharply at who had just come with the Stars. My gaze slowly fell on the sturdy arm of the Star that was being held spoiled by Dara. The person who just said hello.

"Eh, why did you auntie girang come here? We-we don't know!" Natalie said fiercely and nyolot.

Because since my disguise when at the Bintang lecture event, Natalie still holds her own grudge with Dara.

"You don't know yet? Now I'm the new star. Because the Stars and Kejora have no relationship," replied Dara felt he had won.

"Ck. Again, huh, mbak? I need to get water to wake up again, "sarkas Natalie.

"No need to ngrecokin deh event yes. Mending you unplug before my girl actually nyiram lo," said Adira broke up and drove Dara to leave immediately.

Since their debate began my eyes just can not be separated from the cold gaze of the Star. All my limbs were numb in an instant. Only my eyes can see perfectly. Replying to the completely unread gaze of the Star. Whether it's a disappointed look or a gaze that means something else.

I can be honest, I'm disappointed too. Should the Stars come with Dara? Did the stars open their hearts to Dara? That quick?

A few minutes of silence. Until the stars cut off their eye contact first. He turned a sharp glance towards Dara.

"Get off your hands, Dar!"

Dara shook her head at the sign she didn't want to. The woman leaned her head more and more spoiled in the arms of the Star. Like intentionally heating up.

"Gue can not vicein nyiram anyway? Gatel also long for my hands," said Abel who was anxious to see Dara's behavior.

Dara who was originally sticky with the Stars now walked up to me with her flagship smile. Like not affected at all by the sincerity of the Star friends who cornered him.

"Oath yes. You guys become friends on bego-bego all turns out. Which is like this even you defend," said Dara while pushing my shoulder with her index finger.

Keisha who had been standing next to me immediately caught me swiftly.

"Niantai dong, auntie! That's a finger want us to break the rame-rame?" Sarkas Keisha won't take it.

"Eh! I've already thrown out still have a face for here huh? Surprised me," Adira's serobot is getting irritated.

"As much as you guys want to talk to me about how. What is clear is that I just want you to know one thing about Kejora" said Dara made everyone finally silent including myself. I cringed confused.

"You don't know what really happened, do you? Kejora is just plain pretentious in front of you. Sook well. All this time he was not really the same star. He just playin feeling Star doang," said Dara.

I never thought Dara would say it that successfully made the atmosphere become silent in an instant. I also don't know what Dara planned behind all this.

Everyone suddenly fell silent. Letting Dara speak in satisfaction without a single person now intending to stop her.

"Western as fruit falls not far from the tree is the point. His mother Kejora was once also like she gini. Love false hope same guys. I like the charm. Abis is the guy in the house. The bad that was given false hope was his own papa Star again. It's a pity, isn't it? Uh, now his son's replacement is also diginiin. There's no heart, Ra,"

Everyone who heard that was shocked. Especially stars. I'm sure his heart is now getting crushed hearing it all. Dara has gone too far. I'm sure he did this on purpose because he wanted everyone to hate me including the Stars.

Why would Dara do this? Can't he be a little kind enough to keep quiet so as not to cloud the atmosphere. I know now he's really sneaky. Without warning, my tears had washed my cheeks.

"Dragon's your mouth! Don't make up an unclear story. We here no one believes the same thing you say," said Keisha began to emotion.

"Emang gacor very mouthful. I want to tear for a long time," chirped Natalie not relaxed.

"Eh Dar, you're mending away. Don't stain my clean heart this is the same dirty word lo it is," lead Adira beaver.

"Gue said what it is. And see, you see yourself Kejora diem only now. If he's not like I said he should be bragging himself dong," Dara replied increasingly making me feel cornered.

Suddenly everything was made silent again with their own thoughts. While Dara still threw her cynical gaze at me while smiling lightly.

"Jaudah is yes. It's your business to believe me or not. But you should be smart enough to impulse everything I said just now is a fact," said Dara.

"Lo don't have to ruin our show. Rese really lo become human," said Abel trying to melt the atmosphere that was very gripping.

"Snake man I can add." Chirp Beval.

"okkey. Sori-sori if I've made the Kejora birthday event so like gini. You guys must still be surprised by what I just said,"

Dara is back. I've clenched my hands tightly to hold back my own emotions. Ignoring the Star that looked at me was like asking for more explanation.

"Where if now the party we make exciting. Like lemarin Kejora pack that cake,"

My eyes widened when Dara really proved her words. I closed my eyes as the tart that Dara had taken from the table was covered in my hair, face, and uniform in a matter of seconds. Now I can hear Dara's satisfied laughter.

The incident made everyone in the cafe even more surprised. But none of them moved from the place. Including the stars. I don't know. Why at a time like this do I still expect protection from him? Now we are just like strangers.

Not wanting to make myself more humiliated again I decided to run towards the toilet. Crying in there with satisfaction. What a very poor Kejora. I set my own fate in my heart.

After a few minutes of crying in the toilet I immediately ventured out. I want to clean up before I go home in such a miserable state. But the sound of someone talking on the phone makes me a little curious. It was like Dara's voice.

With a sniff I walked through the hallway of the cafe's toilet. I was standing behind a wall not far from where Dara is now. Is correct. The woman was talking to someone on the phone. The situation is also very suspicious. His face is quite serious.

Out of curiosity I sharpened my ears so I could hear the conversation. And really after hearing that conversation I just can't feel calm anymore. It turns out Dara had malicious intentions.
