RICH MAN
I CARE

"Because I care about you, how could you possibly be treated like this? You just shut up, what do you think I am?"

"Rey, I don't mean that. I've never wanted to involve anyone else in my life,"

"Other people? You think I'm a stranger in your life?" rey's voice is rising. The star looked down lethargic, in the car both of them continued to fuss with the problems that were being faced by the Star.

The star glanced for a moment and found Rey clenching her jaw, never had she met Rey who, in her silence, was anxious to feel fine with Reynand, who was, but the man was silent which made Bintang undo his intention to apologize again.

The star gazed outwards leaning on her back, so bitter that she had felt since the departure of her biological mother and had to be forced to accept her stepmother in the house. Almost as if her tears had fallen, the Star turned to her hand as Rey clasped it tightly.

"Don't hide anything else from me, you gotta tell me!" rey said in a loud voice. The star nodded slowly and returned Rey's grasp.

'Don't leave my side even if someone new comes into your life. Maybe you'll find someone who's a lot more worthy than I am, not who I want to be special. But please strengthen me when no hand can support me from this pain, I need you, to always be by my side.'

The star is trying to show its cheerful face. Withstanding the pain he felt on his shoulder, it was indeed very painful, especially after being treated earlier. His gratitude still had people caring about him even though it was his own classmate.

"We go home to my house, I'll explain to Mama,"

The star was shocked to hear Reynand's words. "No, Rey. I'm getting into even bigger trouble if you take me there,"

"Then what's the way out of all this,"

"You just have to wait for news from me,"

"Promise not to play secrets anymore?"

"I promise,"

They had arrived in front of the Bintang house, for a moment they were both chatting, the night was getting late, Rey took her to the clinic to treat her injuries, and now they both had returned to the Bintang house.

A big house, but it looks so quiet.

"Surely it'll be okay?"

The star who was about to get out of Rey's car broke her intention, turned her head and turned to face Reynand. "Believe me," The star just came out. He said goodbye to his friend and was about to walk into the house.

"Star!" Call the guy.

The stars looked for a moment. "What's wrong?"

"No, good rest!"

The man with the neatest hair ahead and also the distinctive smile that is soothing to the Stars. The first time to find a man who cares about his life, let alone overreact when he gets unpleasant treatment from stepmom and stepbrother.

Not everyone is able to pay attention to action. Sometimes people just want to know and look sympathy, then do not care about the lives of others anyway. Everyone has their own way of looking at life. Trying to believe in others also does not hurt, but must be more careful in giving trust in others.

But to Rey, Bintang wants to give that trust completely.

The star went into his house and found his father sitting in the living room with his mother and stepbrother. "Where are you going?"

"The star went out, Pa," he said quietly as he sat on the sofa opposite his papa.

"Your shoulders why is there blood?"

The star turned to his stepmom, if complaining, useless because his father would be much more trusting of stepmom than the Star itself. "Here, the star found the guy on the road of the accident, Pa. I'll help you,"

"The guy survived, Pa. Just a lack of blood,"

"Tuh Ulfa, the star is good always help people," said his mother. The star felt sad after her stepmom said so.

The atmosphere was silent again and the moment the Star wanted to say goodbye to her father, "Stay away from Reynand!" The star turned to his stepmother. What happened to Reynand? Why did his stepmother ask him to stay away from the man?

"Rey who?" ask papa.

"Papa don't know, Rey Azka's son, the famous businessman?"

"Whose wife is a designer and owns some of those famous boutiques?"

"Yes, your son is close to him, who should be close to that boy, Ulfa, Pa. Not the stars,"

"There's no harm in it,"

"Mama doesn't like it, Papa doesn't know what if Ulfa secretly likes Rey,"

The star left just like that, she no longer cared about her stepmom's orders. But at that moment his hand was pulled by Ulfa, "Moreover the hell?"

"Sounds Mama, didn't she, anyway?"

"Whatever,"

"Star! Since when did you dare to fight the same old man?" snapped papa. The star looked at his papa because the first time he was yelled at like that, he who used to get affection so well was actually now dealing with other people, not his old papa anymore. Since the presence of her stepmom, Bintang felt like a stranger in the family.

He should also go along with his mother at that time, not survive with luxury but do not get the affection he usually gets from both parents as before. If it were not for the coercion of his father, of course he would have gone with his mother and gone far away from the man now before him.

"Pa," he said.

"You want to volunteer, Papa?"

The star is upset, eager to curry favor. But she chose silence because she did not want her mother to be in trouble if she fought back against her father. At that time the Star remembered that her mother's message was, she should be devoted to her father no matter what.

The star did not want to look crybaby in front of his stepmom and stepbrother, if only he cried at that time, of course they would both be very happy to torture the Star even more cruelly.

"Papa, can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"Can I have an apartment for Papa? I'm gonna live independently, Pa,"

"Aren't at home? Even though you can walk with your stepbrother, why ask for an apartment?"

"I'm an independent man, Pa. It's okay to wear a bodyguard, the important thing is that I can stay alone, I want to focus on learning. Soon as class, Pa,"

"Tomorrow, Papa will surely follow, son. Now you better cleanse your body of that blood. Keep resting, we'll talk again tomorrow, baby."

The star nodded, hoping that his father would be willing to move into the apartment. To be honest he wanted to avoid his stepmom and also his half-brother. Weight leaves his papa, but what else if he continues to get unpleasant treatment from parents who are so foreign to him.

She did not want to linger in grief, perhaps she could also meet her mother if she stayed outside.

Like yes. Author will be crazy up if many like 😁
