3.1 The Love Story in Planet Sisterhood of Trezhellas

The novel Starligth, Starbright by Serenne Dawson not only tells about human love in two different planets but also about the conflict among the characters in the novel. One the other hand, this novel is very interesting to read because the writer describes the fantastic adventure, technology and imangination. I would like to focus on the conflict among Serena, Trenek, and Darian. The major character in this novel is Serena; she is a beautiful young girl, smart and nice person. In this novel Serena is loved by Trenek, but she does not love him. Actually, in her adventure she meets Darian and then falls in love with him. The love story between them is so interesting that it can make the reader interested in reading this story until the end of the story. Furthermore, a relationship between Serena and Darian is very difficult in order to make them happy. There are many conflicts about their love story compared with the other characters such as; Lania, Shenzi and their family. Trenek is man who loves Serena, he is Serena’s friend. They have grown up together and have planned to marry, but she does not love him. Universitas Sumatera Utara The man who is loved by Serena is Darian. He comes from Ulata’s planet. He is a handsome and smart man. Both of them love to each other, and they have changed fantastic adventures in another planet. This story begins when Serena asks herself why she cannot love Trenek. As we know that from the story, she will marry him in early time. Trenek loves Serena and cares for her. They grow up together in the same place. She knows that he is a good man but she realizes that she never loves him. “Why couldn’t she love him with all her heart, as he did he? as other loved. She did love him, but it seemed that her love was a surface sort of thing, like the bright, gleaming top of deep pond. But down inside, below that surface, knew was nothing. She had dived deep into ponds and she knew there was much there, wondrous things. But beneath the surface of her love for Trenek, there was nothing”. Dawson, 1999:11. Actually in her mind Serena realizes that love is very important in her life. But it is not easy for her to love Trenek. Besides that, she thinks that love is not only for someone, but also for all people. Love is very important for people to care for one another and protect one with another. Universitas Sumatera Utara “She hated her thought and sometimes. As now, hasted her for thinking them. Love was all-important to her people: love for their blessed world and love for each other. And she did love it all. All about Trenek, her betrothed, who should be the most beloved of all to her and he wasn’t.” Dawson,1999:11. On the other hand, Serena is a woman is interested in going to another planet. She wants to know more about it and she also likes to challenge and adventure. She tells Trenek about the moving Star. She is very interested in knowing more about it but Trenek does not believe it, therefore, she forces him to go with her to that place where they often hear stranger voice. The place is in a narrow valley surrounded by tall mountains. “ She was glad that Trenek was going with her, although she’d been guide prepared to go alone. He waved an arm around them was a narrow valley with a swift running stream in its center, and beyond that said the tall mountains”. Dawson,1999: 55. Serena’s interests to that voice has caused her to meet Darian Vondrak, the leader of the Ulatas. At the first time he sees her, Darian knows that she is beautiful woman. He asks her to go with him to the Ulata. After she has been at Ulata for sometime, she begins to know more about that place and its people. Universitas Sumatera Utara “Then a male voice spoke. She had no idea what he was saying. But she knew it wasn’t the leader‘s Darian’s voices. A moment later, she could hear other voices, low and indistinct, coming from behind her. That was accompanied by a series of whirring sounds, and then she could see the high back of the seat in front of her, rising now to an upright position. Her own seat remained where it was. Dawson,1999:55. Serena’s meeting with Darian has caused her a serious problem. Darian plans to take her to his planet because Trenek tries to save Serena from Darian, because he loves her and does not want to lose her. But Darian is much stronger and more powerful than Trenek so that Trenek fails. Darian even wants to kill him. Fortunately Serena tells Darian not to kill Trenek. It seems that Darian agrees with her, and he cancels killing Trenek. “ Run Serena They’re going to make us fly with them. They’ll kill us” even as he spoke, he took off, climbing the steep bank at the side of the trail. The leader spoke sharply, and Serena saw the other man remove the small cylinder from his belt and aim it at Trenek. “No” she screamed. “Please don’t kill him But her word died abruptly as Trenek’s whole body convulsed, then become inert as he tumbled back down the bank to the trail. Tears of rage sprang to her eyes as she faced the leader. Dawson,1999:47. Universitas Sumatera Utara Trenek says to her not to be frightened because Darian merely wants to make her calm. He protects her from Darian but his words are not clear enough to her because his whole body is convulsed. Tears of rage springs to her eyes as she faces the leader of Ulatas’s planet, Darian. Fright with him, Trenek tries to make her calm. He tries to protect her from Darian. “How could you do that? He couldn’t hurt you He was just frightened.” The leader, who of course couldn’t understand a word she’d said, merely stared at her impassively as the other man went over to Trenek and picked him up easily, then carried him to the spot where they’d left their magic backpacks. He lowered him to the ground and began to strap on his pack. Serena stared at Trenek’s lifeless body, unable to believe what had happened or how it had happened. Dawson,1999:47. Actually, Darian does not understand every word that Serena says to him. But he is not kill Trenek and lets him alive because of Serena. He takes her to Ulatan, but Trenek does not like it. Darian takes her because he likes her and has fallen in love with her. Her going to the Ulata is the end of her love story in Sisterhood of Tezhellas, for she has to be separated from Trenek, the person who loves her.
