THE PRINCE OF THE NORTH POLE
AM I MEANINGLESS?

Ara reflexively retreated a few steps looking at Tata who was without a cue directly hugged the Star. Even with Gilang who was no less shocked to see the sight before him.

"A.I'm so scared of tang!" Said tata lirih sebari sobbing.

The star held Tata's hand about to break away but Tata's speech stopped her.

"The tragedy of the accident appeared again in my mind Tang..."

The star suddenly turned pale. Tata reminded him back to that dark time. On the day that he cursed himself for his negligence had caused someone he loved to accept the harsh reality. Tata was hit by a car while she was with him. And this heart disease is one of the memories obtained from the incident.

Gilang furrowed his brows. He doesn't understand what Tata is saying. Because indeed the Star and Tata agreed to keep the incident secret from everyone including Gilang. And today Tata even dismantled everything in front of Gilang.

"Accident? meaning?"

Tanya Gilang with a face full of question marks.

Ara was only able to stand sculpting without being able to interfere further. Because he knows he doesn't have any capacity there.

Tata stared at Gilang with cheeks still moistened with tears.

"Lang, actually when I said I was on vacation with my family in Bali it was all a lie.. I'm in treatment at Rs."

Tata was silent for a moment, he also looked at the star as if frozen by circumstances.

"Gue had an accident right in front of the house when I was the same star again ran away. And..."

Tata was a little hesitant to continue, he said.

"And what?" Tanya Gilang seemed impatient with Tata's half-explanation.

"And since then my heart has been disturbed.."

Gilang. His body suddenly suffocated like boneless. He could not believe what he had just heard. He did not understand why Tata had to hide such a big secret. He also realized why the Star had let Tata be handed over to him at that time. He was very close to Tata. He held back his feelings because he thought his sister and Tata loved each other. But when the Star arrives keep a distance from the girl. Since then he thought Bintang might not be serious about his feelings for Tata so he finally decided to go forward and ventured to express his love for Tata who had long been harbored.

But all his prejudices turned out to be wrong. He now understood why the Stars kept their distance from the girl he loved. He doesn't care but because he doesn't want anything worse to happen when Tata is with him. And Tata, she's not much better at hiding her feelings. That hug was enough to be the answer to how much he felt about the stars.

Gilang's chest became tight. Suddenly it was like there was a gaping hole in his heart. The girl he loved so much hid a lot from him.

Gilang stood up with disappointed gurat that emanated clearly on his face.

Tata holds Gilang's hand. "Lang.. sorry"

Gilang let go of Tata's hand without even looking.

"Bao.. I can be jel.."

"Gue understands tang!" Cut the Cross when the Star tries to stand in front of it.

Gilang patting the shoulder of the Star made the Star feel even more guilty to his brother.

Gilang immediately left without saying anything else.

Tata held the Star's hand and then pretended to hold her chest while grimacing in pain.

Bintangpun immediately sat beside Tata.

"Lu okay? we're in the hospital now, aren't we?"

The star tries to lean Tata's head on the back of the sofa.

"No need for pliers. I just need a break."

"Tang. I'm sorry to tell Gilang. I really can't lie to him anymore about us."

Tata then hugged the Star again. The star stared at Ara who was slowly retreating while desperately holding back her tears from falling.

The star can catch the clear grain in the corner of Ara's eye. The girl immediately ran out of the villa with quick steps.

The star was about to chase after Ara but Tata held it in check. He didn't want his plan to fail. He had to keep Bintang by his side so Bayu could execute his plan smoothly. Tata smiled cunningly.

***

Ara walks down the beach. Oh God. Why is his heart hurting so much. Let the clear grain flow on his cheeks.

"Yeah...,"

Ara looked surprised. Bayu stood behind him. Staring at him worriedly then immediately led him to a large rock that resembled a bench.

"Why Ra? What's up?"

Ara just shook her head slowly. But the crying still did not stop even getting louder.

Bayu didn't ask what else. He hugged Ara softly while rubbing her back.

"Lo can cry as much. Right here!" Show it to his own chest.

After being satisfied to shed his tears Ara broke away from Bayu. Bayu took a handkerchief from his pants and then wiped it with a heart of tears that were still left on both cheeks Ara.

"Stop being sweet rich gini Bay!" His words were then answered with a smile by Bayu.

"Why? are you afraid that you might fall in love with me?"

"Heuh pede really lo!" Dengus Ara was annoyed.

"Obviously I care, I'm handsome."

Bayu answered instead made Ara smile amusedly.

"Well that's doong. This beautiful face does not pantes if you have to be sad."

The head of Ara. Then gripped the two hands of the girl tightly. Ara was surprised to find the attitude of Bayu who arrived. Buru hunted him to let go but Bayu instead tightened his grip.

"Ra, come with me..?" Ask gently while hoping for a yes answer from Ara.

There seems to be no reason this time to refuse Bayu's invitation.

"Where?"

"Somewhere, not far at least 5 minutes from here.."

Ara nodded slowly. Bayun smiled widely and then immediately led Ara to a place that had been prepared in such a way. Yes, Bayu is preparing a romantic afternoon meal to officially shoot Ara. Because it seems like every declaration of love that is thrown from his mouth lately is only considered a mere joke. So he tried in an even more serious way and hoped that Ara would seriously respond as well.

Right said Bayu. It only took 5 minutes and they arrived at a beach not far from where it was. Ara was amazed to see the scenery in front of her. Two benches and a round table facing the beach. Adorned with small pole poles that line the heart to add a romantic impression. Ara's heart started to beat fast.

Bayu pulled one of the benches and helped Ara to sit there. Bayu smiled then out of nowhere. Appears a guy is still his age standing not far from their bench. Bayu approached the man and took something from him.

"Thanks brooo!!!"

"Yoi men the same. Good luck, I pulled ya!!

"Sippp" Bayu gave his thumbs up and the man immediately left them.
