Morning Star
Terminate

Adira pulled me forcibly to a cafe across the campus. After hearing I deliberately rejected the Star made his face change drastically. No wonder Adira like that because all this time he has been very meritorious in my relationship and the Star.

"Son, what do you want to bring me here? You should go to college" I protested after Adira told me to sit in the cafe.

"Lo thought I could go to college quietly after you told me I was kayaking stars just now, huh? What the hell is Ra the same lo?" ask Adira impatiently.

I know Adira was very disappointed in me. But what can I do? No other choice but to comply with aunt Marisa's request.

"Sorry, because you are disappointed. Uday ngecewain temen-temen lo and also Bintang. I really can't continue this all brother," said I lirih.

Adira kept looking at me question markingly. I don't know what Adira's head is right now. What was clear was that he kept frowning like he was in confusion.

"Alesan lo what does the star turn? Isn't everything sorted out? You've already confessed your feelings for each other, haven't you?"

I shook my head slowly.

"Lo inget Dara said yesterday at the cafe? That's all right, brother. I can't be the same star. Aunt Marisa even asked me directly to stay away from the Star's life. There is a barrier between us, brother. I can't destroy it now" I explained. I didn't feel like a single tear fell back.

Adira doesn't believe what I just said. Because aunt Marisa used to be very nice to me even treat me like her own child. But after I told you more details about the past between my parents and Star parents, Adira became pity. He himself was also confused as to what to say. His face suddenly pias. He might not be able to defend anyone.

"Lo doesn't have to feel burdened. I just want to say thank you for your kindness so far. I can put all this together. And I'm sure Bintang will definitely be a much better person than me" I said, forcing a smile.

"Kejora... Lo?"

"Gue will be fine, brother. Now it's time to focus on your own happiness, "cut me quickly.

"Gue knows you're a strong girl Ra. I'm always there for you if you need help,"

I nodded small. Adira was indeed a person who cared about me a lot all this time. He is like my own brother.

"Don't tell me about this secret to the Stars. I don't want him to fight with aunt Marisa later" I asked Adira.

"Lo calm down Ra. I won't tell you anything about the stars,"

After chatting for almost an hour now I decided to go home while Adira also said goodbye to return to the campus.

Jakarta in the afternoon is still jammed. Now I'm stuck in a taxi on my way home. I leaned my head against the windshield, looking at the passing vehicle on the street. My mind wandered far away. Yesterday I was very sure I wanted to fight for the stars. But somehow today it feels like my courage just evaporated.

A few moments later I closed my eyes. When the taxi car I was riding in accidentally passed in front of the outdoor cafe across the street. Looks like I saw Dana and Aunt Marisa sitting in that cafe. Because of my curiosity I immediately stopped and paid for the taxi argo. I walked through the traffic jam and ran towards the cafe. I quietly slipped to sit on the bench not far from them. Yeah, it turns out it was Dana and Aunt Marisa.

"Rethink your decisions and don't be selfish. Let's learn from our mistakes in Marisa's past,"

I faintly heard Dana's heavy-sounding voice. It was fortunate that this cafe was not too crowded so I could quietly listen to their conversation.

"Don't bring the past in front of me. You lied to me enough. Admit it if you still can't forget Clarissa,"

Now also heard the voice of aunt Marisa vibrating. Looks like aunt Marisa just cried because her voice was so hoarse. I'm getting down. Prepare to hear whatever bitterness they will say later.

"I brought Kejora to our house not only because he was Clarissa's son. But since I owe her husband a favor, that's all. I'm sorry if my decision has hurt you all this time" Dana explained.

As much as possible I hold back my tears from falling. I don't want my tears to break and make my existence known to them.

Tests.

The tears that I had been holding back from now on had already fallen. My chest feels tight. But I don't want to leave my place at the moment.

"You remember the Kejora that made Heaven hurt until Heaven decided to go abroad now. I don't want this to happen back to the Stars,"

This time I cried. But I quickly smothered my own mouth so that the sound of the sobbing was not heard.

"Marisa´s... They are quite adult. Let them choose their own path. The stars and the Kejora love each other. Don't make them tormented just because of your selfishness,"

"I have a right to be selfish for the happiness of my children. If Kejora still dares to approach the Stars, I will send the Stars abroad. I'll stay abroad with them. It's up to you,"

The creaking of the chair is now heard. Looks like aunt Marisa has risen and stepped away leaving Dana who is still silent in her seat. I ventured to look up. I can see Dana's face is so messed up. A few seconds later Dana's eyes were on me. She was so surprised to see me cry.

"Ke-Kejora..."

Om Dana approached me in a frenzy. I stood up and hugged him. Now my tears are getting broken in Dana's arms.

"I'm sorry om. It's all because of me," I said as he pleased.

Dana stroked my hair slowly. He patted my back a few times.

"You don't talk like that. It's not your fault. Aunt Marisa just needs time. Sorry if her words hurt your heart,"

I broke Dana's hug. Maybe this is the last time I can hug Dana.

"Of... I've made a decision. One year later I will finish High School. I am quite an adult. I will be fine even if I have to live alone. Om no need to sacrifice family om,"

"Kejora.." scolded Dana quickly. But I immediately shook my head strongly.

"Poor aunt Marisa om. It has helped me enough all this time. I will definitely not forget the kindness of om and aunt Marisa to me,"

A few seconds Dana was silent until finally with a heavy heart she nodded her head slowly. I smiled with relief. At the end of the day this is what I asked. The time I'll be leaving the Star house.

"Are you and the stars okay? Honestly, I know... You love each other, don't you?" ask Dana later.

Somehow this time my feeling was quite relieved even though I had to release a precious item though. If this makes Aunt Marisa's heart a lot quieter then I'm willing to even have to get away from the life of the Star.

"Of... If the Star and I were destined to be together, one day we would be united. Maybe this is not the right time" I replied firmly.

Om Dana smiled as she gently stroked the top of my head.

"Om proud of you. You are a strong girl. And you're all grown up now" said Dana.
