Garvita stared intently at Raj who gave a gentle smile to her. Astri's? I hate to be changed my name! And I don't really like the name Astri even though it means good.
"Why Gemintang? You don't like Astri's call? Good that means. Astri means very beautiful from the Nordic language, according to your face. No wonder my twin is so crazy about you."
The star did not react with Raj's words. Will you be the same as Krishna?! I've been quite tired and have gained inner calm but your face appears with different people.
"If the Indonesian version, because you have Indonesian ancestry" continued Raj while opening his phone "Name Astri is the daughter of the star. Gemintang means constellation so it's not far, right?"
"You why the hell came - came to change people's names yourself?" snapped Starry pissed.
"Because I like your name. Very antique and beautiful. Let's take a look. Gemintang itself constellation, Paramastri means beautiful like an angel from the Javanese language, Astri itself is very beautiful. The whole shows in accordance with you who are beautiful, Star."
"Are you always this way, looking for the meaning of the name of the person you just met?" The star gazed towards Raj.
"Never before because their names are not as pretty as your name" Raj replied straightforwardly.
Gemintang just stay quiet and then finish the hot choco and cream soup without offering Raj who has ordered bread and coffee.
"Sorry..."
The starry looks suspiciously at Raj. "What else? You've long been similar to your twin, a little - a little sorry! It sucks!"
Raj says nothing but the man takes a tissue available there and clears the rest of the hot choco on the lips of Gemintang. "There's choco on your lips" she said gently.
The face of the Gemintang reddened hearing Raj's words. His regret for Krishna did make everything wrong in his eyes.
"Thank you." Gemintang then put all his luggage on the table into his big bag.
"Had eaten?" ask Raj.
"Yes. I'm going home." Gemintang also stood up while slinging his bag.
"I'm taking you?" tawar Raj's.
"No need. Thank you." Thank you." The starry girl then says goodbye to Lucy. "Lucy, c'est tre's dericieux (very delicious ). Merci beaucoup (thank you). Je reviendrai (i'm here again sometime)."
"Je t'en prie (equally ). J'attendrai (i wait ). Bientot (to later )" Lucy replied.
"Au revoir." Gemintang also came out of the cafe towards his bicycle parking.
"Star!" call Raj who's after the girl. "I'm with you, the snow's getting heavier."
"I'm used to it, Rao..."
"Raj or you call me Arjun. The crowd calls me Raj" Ralat Raj.
"But seeing you is the same as Rao. Is your last name different?" starry sarcasm.
Raj just laughed. "You still remember my twin's behavior?"
"Who can forget? Especially seeing the similarities of your faces! Everything he did in Singapore, he remembered!"
"Dispose!"
"Dispose? Whatchu mean?" Unknowingly Gemintang and Raj go hand in hand with the position of the girl guiding her bike because it is not possible to ride because of slippery road due to snow. w
"If you don't want to throw away all the bad events of the past, how can you nourish yourself? I know it's not easy because you've been through it all these years and all those years you've been holding it yourself..."
Gemintang. How do you know?
"You are too good and precious to be harmed by my twin. Oh, before you ask me why I always call her my twin, because your face looks more comfortable than I call her Krishna..." Raj looked at the face of the star. "Look, as soon as I mentioned her name, your beautiful eyebrows immediately throbbed out in discomfort but when I called her my twin, your face seemed relaxed."
"Are you sure you're a surgeon, not a psychiatrist?" sindir Gemintang's.
Raj laughs and somehow Gemintang hears a crisp and different laugh with her ex-husband.
"I know a lot of people from different parts of the world so subconsciously, I can read someone's body language. And you, Astri ... From now on I call you that yes to be a new leaf, something different, so that you can remove the psychic burden of my twin."
"Astri, if you still want to live with the shadows of the past, please. But you yourself will continue to feel pain and it will eat away at you. Didn't you release the source? I know you don't want to tell your family because you don't want to make a crowd because you feel you can handle everything yourself, but you're not strong Astri. My twin told me that you had to take migraine medication due to stress because of him... Did you stay here and escape my twin, you ever have migraines again?"
The star shook his head.
"Thank God that taking medicine continues to be bad, Astri. You are also a doctor even though a veterinarian..." Raj smiled gently.
The starry one just fell silent. This Rao-like man was very different in his mindset.
"What area do you live in?" asked Raj who was confused to see the Gemintang walking through the city park.
"Oh, I live at that turn." The star turned towards Raj. "Thank you for accompanying me on the road but I can be alone."
"Are you sure you don't want me to take you to your house?"
"No. I'm still uncomfortable with your face.."
Raj smiled understandably. "I don't want to be born a twin and have the same face as my twin."
Gemintang. "Au revoir" she said as she walked away from Raj.
"Astri!" call Raj but Gemintang still does not turn. "Star!"
The star has just looked. "Oui?"
Raj walked up to the girl. "Can I have your contact number?"
"If you ask for my contact number, you will definitely give it to my ex-husband" declined Gemintang.
"What did I tell my twin? It's the same I didn't make you move on and be happy." Raj looked at the Gemintang seriously. "I promise I won't give it to him."
"Sorry, Raj..."
"Arjun."
"Huh?" The star looked at Raj confusedly.
"I'd rather you call me Arjun."
"Why?"
"Maybe the same as you, want something different?" smile Raj. "As I said earlier, everyone calls me Raj and I want something different. So, you call me Arjun."
The star shook his head. "It turns out you're the same, equally narcissistic."
Raj laughing. "The narcissist is necessary if necessary."
The star turned his body to walk towards his village.
"Astri...your contact number?" call Raj.
"You know where I practice, right? Just go there if there's anything to talk about!" reply Gemintang without looking.
Raj just stood near the turn of the road while staring at Gemintang who entered the private villa complex.
"You're right, Krishna, the Gemintang is beautiful" Raj murmured. "You are a fool, Krishna. Hurt women as good as the stars!"
