Don't Cry Mother
JMZ 63. Kaluna Defense

Ari, the reporter who had an appointment with Kaluna, arrived at the parking lot of Soul Restourant. Dnegan brought his female colleague named Tia, Ari also stepped in with certainty to meet Kaluna.

" Should it be like me?"

" He doesn't want to see me alone. Said I should take on a girl colleague, afraid there's some slander."

Tia nodded in understanding despite a little wonder. If it is true what the public says about Kaluna, it seems to be very much different from the original. And, it seems like what they think is right. The Kaluna that Ari and Tia met was completely different from the news that was circulating.

The Kaluna Ari and Tia met was a covered woman with loose clothing and a large headscarf. Even Ari's helping hand was only welcomed by Kaluna by cupping both hands in front of the chest. It was only when Tia greeted Kaluna that the hijab woman would shake Tia's hand.

" Can we just start? Can you make this a live broadcast?"

Ari and Tia look at each other, to make a live broadcast of course both must get permission from the superiors where they work. Ari then fell silent for a moment trying to think of something.

" Sir, this is my first video recorded by Mbak Kaluna later I will share on youtube the company. But now I can make a live broadcast on my social media. How's mbak?"

" Okay, let's do that."

Ari and Tia nodded. Tia will play the interviewer and Ari will record using her phone. He certainly did not expect if Kaluna would ask for a live broadcast. The beginning of the plan is just a regular question and answer interview. Ari only carries a recording device that she used to interview the source.

At the villa Yasa was really confused. Going after Kaluna where she really doesn't know. There are no more cars there. Behind her confused attitude was Tara coming out of her room. The boy then asked where the mother was. Yasa could only answer her mother away but did not know where.

Tara went back to her room and took the cell phone. He will certainly contact one of the Wild Eagle members who are in charge of following where Kaluna went.

" Well, Tara knows where you are."

Yasa furrowed his eyebrows together, he just did not know where the wife was going and his son so easily told where Kaluna was. But I don't know why Yasa believes in the son.

" Well, get Uncle Zion here to bring the car. We borrow uncle's car."

" Astagfirullaah, I don't think so."

Yasa patted his forehead slowly. He really didn't think that way. The panic made the father of one child unable to think rationally. His brain immediately blank when he found out the wife left the house. Anxiety filled his heart. Given how Kaluna was able to live her hard life in S City, Yasa was really worried that Kaluna would do her idea last night.

" I hope you don't do that Kal."

Ckiiiiite

Just 5 minutes after Yasa contacted Zion, the young man had already parked his car in front of Vila. Yasa, Tara, Raffan and Vanka ran outside.

" Come in, I'll drive" Zion told her brother.

" Mommy and Dad are home. Wait at home if Kaluna comes home earlier than us."

Raffan and Vanka agreed. They should be at home.

Zion immediately forwarded her car according to Tara's instructions. Somewhat doubtful in fact, but the two adults were convinced by what Tara was directing.

Throughout the journey Yasa never ceaselessly prayed that kaluna would not do things that she should not do. Zion momentarily glanced at the older cousin. The young man could understand when Yasa was so worried but Zion did not know what the older brother was worried about.

" He wanted to endure all the news that was circulating about us by confessing that he was the one who framed me."

" What?"

Zion almost braked suddenly when Yasa said that. How could Kaluna think like that now. Zion knows the news is heating up but really she does not know that Kaluna will do the idea.

" Sister, if that happens what the public will not blaspheme brother-in-law all out. I'm really worried."

" That's what I'm worried about Zi. I hope we're not late."

That prayer was what Yasa said in his heart. But it looks like his prayer this time will not be fulfilled. Tara who had been holding her tablet immediately saw the news of Kaluna doing a live interview.mekipun it was in the form of repost, but it could be concluded that Kaluna had even finished doing the interview.

" Well, looks like we're late."

Tara said this while giving her tablet to her father. Yasa's eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw what Kaluna was doing. The man's tears fell unstoppably. Zion momentarily pulled over her car and picked up the tablet held by Yasa.

" Sister, he's protecting you. She's a really good woman. He's taking it all by himself."

Tara who was sitting in the back seat just fell silent, but her hands did not stop moving. He gave instructions to the Wild Eagle men to escort his mother wherever she went safely.

Apparently currently Kaluna was traveling back towards the villa. Tara asked her uncle to return to the villa. Of course Zion was confused by the orders of the nephew.

" Lho boy, we don't want to catch up with your mother."

" Mother is on the way back to uncle's villa. So we better just go back."

Yasa who heard the son's words nodded. Zion turns her car around and returns to the villa. Yasa was still speechless, digesting everything Kaluna said in the vidio.

" Assalamualaikum, I am Kaluna wife of Mr. Yasa Naratama Dwilaga. Here I will say something, Mr. Yasa is a good man and not neko-neko. We are married but we are not married in secret. We got married attended by relatives and close friends. If you ask us that we were married because we were pregnant first it can be said to be wrong but it can also be said to be true."

In the video, Kaluna is very calm when talking, there is no nervousness at all.

" I am indeed married to Mr. Yasa because we have a son who is 5 years old. It was all my fault when I was young. Mr. Yasa here is not guilty at all. It all happened because I set up Mr. Yasa. so I beg you stop saying bad things to Mr. Yasa, Mr. Yasa is completely innocent. And yesterday we got married I wasn't pregnant. I think this is enough. Wassalamula."

When Kaluna finished with her video Atri and Tia just looked down. They did not expect Kaluna to admit everything like that. Before recording the video, Kaluna first told the chronology of the events of the past year. Actually it was a private domain, but all was already known to the public so yes he also told it to Tia and Ari.

" Mom, why don't we just say that mbak was also framed?" ask Tia.

" Free Ma'am Tia, we have no proof. Let the public now consider me so. The important thing is my husband's name is clean."

Tia and Ari

salute to the courage of Kaluna. Finally Ari also covered Kaluna's face with an emoticon when winning the video upload. So that people do not know the true face of Kaluna.
