RICH MAN

RICH MAN
FILL LONELINESS


A dark night sky with twinkling stars rolled in the sky. The moon began to appear from the east. The moon is not yet perfect to show its light on earth.


 


 


The star sits on the balcony of his room. After school he went home to his father to ask permission to go hiking with his friends. Hopefully his wish can be fulfilled by his father. Given her overly overprotective papa towards him.


 


 


Sit on the balcony and enjoy the night. Waiting for the return of her papa to work and it had become a habit for the girl to wait for her papa there.


 


 


The star keeps replying to each other chat with Reynand. The man was always coloring his life every day. Even before going to bed, the man was always attentive to him. Sometimes small concerns make a person comfortable with his life.


 


 


"Star!"


 


 


The girl turned her head towards the door when she heard the sound of knocking on the door and rushed to open the door because the voice she heard was no longer a foreign voice in her ear.


 


 


He opened the door slowly and hugged his father. In reply with a warm hug given by his father. The star invited his father into the room. And at that time his father locked the room and invited the stars to sit on the bed.


 


 


"Son, Papa just met your mom,"


 


 


The roar of the face of the Star sparkled after hearing the words of his father who met the girl's biological mother. She misses her mother very much. Wanted to be in her mother's arms again. The star longs for the wholeness of his family as before.


 


 


"Where is Mama going to be?" asked the girl was very curious and very eager to meet the woman who had given birth to her and took care of her until she moved on as she is today.


 


 


"Star, sorry for Papa's attitude at that time. Papa realized that all this time Papa was wrong with you, Star. How's your wound?"


 


 


The star glared after hearing his papa's words. "What injury, Pa?"


 


 


"Don't lie anymore, son! No parent can be lied to by their own child,


 


 


"I mean, Papa what?"


 


 


His papa stroked the shoulder of the Star and stroked the girl's head then hugged so tightly. The star himself was confused by his father's attitude that suddenly changed unlike usual who always ignored him when returning home. "Is dad okay?"


 


 


"Papa's always fine, but Papa's son isn't okay. Star, Papa just realized that you've been beaten up by your stepmom, right?"


 


 


"Well, how do you know from where?" The star let go of his Papa's embrace and looked at the man in his forties fixedly. He found regret clearly reflected from the eyes of his father.


 


 


"Papa knows you're going to the same clinic as a man, Bintang. Even other people care more about you than Papa himself, and only one that Papa wants to ask, who is the man who made you this way? The man who has been able to color your life, your cherry has returned even though there is no Mama. But maybe Papa just realized that if only to fill the loneliness, then anyone can. But one can never lie to his own feelings that he also needs the person he so longs for, right?"


 


 


The star nodded slowly, she bit her lower lip and held both of her papa hands that stroked the girl's cheeks. "Papa, I'm sorry I isolated myself from home and avoided, Papa,"


 


 


"Papa's son is never wrong. What's wrong is Papa who has been selfish to snatch your happiness. When Papa falls, Mama is always there. When Papa was so victorious, it was outrageous that Papa had abandoned your Mama and sought another woman. This isn't all a very exaggerated thing?"


 


 


Smiling stars. "Papa, I'm meeting you, Mama,"


 


 


"A little while, but be patient! Papa will try to make our family whole again baby. Never feel alone again. Papa love you, Papa realized now after a few months of remarriage. Precisely the woman that Papa considers good turns out not as good as your Mama in giving love to you and also not as good as Mama in carrying out her duties as a wife,"


 


 


 


 


The girl smiled and stood up then hugged the man from behind. He smelled the smell of sweat so tired in working all day just to meet his needs all along. The man reached for a photo where when the Star had a birthday when the girl was sixteen it was a time where they were very happy. The star still hugged the man and cried in his papa's arms.


 


 


"Sometimes the Lord gives us a feeling that we are in a position to truly regret because what we have done is outrageous. Awakening us after all the wounds are firmly stuck in the heart. And right now the wound is Papa feeling himself, which is where you were hit. Papa never knew that this was happening and you could hide it all from Papa. Stars, no matter how great Papa loves another woman. But if you see his daughter treated like that, Papa will leave the woman and choose to educate you alone. Papa will raise you alone, Papa does not care about the same feelings of Papa himself. If Mama is still ready to return, Papa promises you will not be in vain again. It was enough injuries then became a valuable lesson for Papa when the position was so victorious. Surely Papa has forgotten himself,"


 


 


The star let go of her embrace, the man turned around and hugged her. She was crying in the man's arms. He really misses the togetherness of his family.


 


 


"Papa love you, son. So don't ever hide anything else, Papa found out you went to the clinic after Papa's men reported that you went with a man,"


 


 


"Papa, I'm sorry, yes,"


 


 


"Never apologize. This is all true, and for the man. Papa wants to thank you because he already cares so much about you. But one message Papa. Take good care of yourself!"


 


 


"Good, Pa,"


 


 


"After class, stay with Mama. Papa will meet all your needs, do not live in the apartment again. Papa will talk to your Mama, Bintang can not be lonely. Stars have families,"


 


 


"Father, dear Star Papa,"


 


 


"Especially Papa, it is in Papa's heart that you are. You've been able to make Papa aware of all these mistakes. About that time Papa hit you, Papa apologized. Papa asks you not to be flirted with your stepmom, son!"


 


 


"Yes, Pa. But by the way the stars can be allowed to climb, right? It's a tour, Pa. All eleven classes go,"


 


 


"Where?"


 


 


"Kranjani,"


 


 


"Who's the guy?"


 


 


"School friends,"


 


 


"There's a guy?"


 


 


"She, Pa. There are some, there are women too,"


 


 


"Father will tell the guards to take care of you,"


 


 


"Pa, please. I'm looking for friends just this time,"


 


 


The girl's hair was softly stroked. He felt a kiss land on his forehead. "Alright, go and take good care of yourself! Papa believes in you, you have the right to enjoy your life as long as it is still a reasonable stage. What Papa asks you to take care of yourself, let alone have a male friend. Don't disappoint Mama and Papa, son!"
