CELEBRITIES ARE NOT ARTISTS

CONFIDENTIAL

The knock on Aliya's room door sounded, she just wanted to sleep. Checking the phone screen saw her youngest daughter soaking wet.

Ai walked to her room, thinking that her mother was already sleeping. Ai also did not want to disturb her Papi.

Aliya's bedroom door opened, walking into Aira's room which was not tightly closed. Ai instead of changing clothes just sat on the floor hugging her knees.

"Change, get a fever." Al closed the door to take a nightgown for his daughter.

Aliya undressed Ai who was still sitting still, not letting out tears and not laughing.

"Open your underwear, there's no way Mommy can touch it. You've grown up, you've soon decided to get married." Al looked at his daughter who was standing taking off her clothes changed with her prepared clothes.

"Mommy don't make gossip so, marriage is because love isn't arranged." Ai sat back looking at Aliya who was into the bathroom throwing away her Daughter's clothes.

Al's smile was visible, patting the sofa asking Aira to approach him. Al knew very well that his daughter was confused.

"How's Papi? said sick. Has Juna checked yet?"

"The fire is fine, just plain sick. You know if Mami and Papi are getting older, you're all grown up so stop making trouble." Al noticed Ai's face which kept sighing.

"Ai just wants Mami and Papi to continue to accompany Ai for the next five years, Ai's time is still long. Aira's dream of becoming an international artist has not been achieved." Ai's head was bowed like it had no bones.

"Surely it was your dream?"

Aira's head shook her head, she actually had no dreams. Any kind of effort he had seen, only the artist who had not existed was why Ai decided to feel it.

Both of Aira's hands hugged her Mama, asking to be patted gently so that Aira's feelings were a little calm.

"Tell me what's bothering you?"

"Mommy ... Mi, I'm sorry Aira if one day it makes our family disappointed." Ai tightened her embrace.

"It's not your hobby. Andrian Aira my daughter, as long as you do not step onto the path of mislead then there is nothing to be disappointed about. Son, as good or bad as any of your parents, our way of life is different. Aira has a path to face, don't turn anything on if you haven't found the end of a path." Al's head nodded his forehead.

Aira's smile was visible, kissing both of her Mammys cheeks. It used to be only her Mama and her sister Tika who became Ai's opponent for a fight, after the adult Tika Aira had a fight with Isel.

Since coming out of the house Ai has no more opponents, especially after the loss of his best friend. Ai seeks the truth, and controls herself so as not to hurt many people.

All efforts Aira did, until he did not graduate college. Ai wants to defend her best friend, but everything changes.

"Mi, the person that Aira bela changed. What did Ai do wrong? why is it so hard to have friends?" Ai hugged her Mom, if she made a mistake already defending her best friend, but for seven years she was lied to.

Aira's life is full of guilt, she blames herself for not being able to save and promises to uncover death, but the truth is Aira was lied to.

"Keep, the woman showed up for revenge?"

"Yes Mi, where is Aira wrong?"

"One of you is too great to cover up grief, even Mami who is always watching doesn't know." Al looked at his disappointed daughter.

"I don't want to look weak! see the whole family has their own abilities, only Aira's no Mami." Aira's cries were heard hugging her Mammya tightly.

"What are you proud of from the life of Mami who has no parents, what do you admire about Tika when she harbors anger, and you are proud of Kak Juna, she said, without knowing what the great wounds were in his past. Aira wants to live a life full of pain? do you want to live in trouble? Ai, the prowess you saw for the result of the wound." Aliya asked her daughter not to envy others, and to respect herself more.

Aira was nothing special in her own eyes, but it meant so much to others. Care for her friend shows that Ai's heart is too soft.

"You feel the sadness of others, as well as the difficulty. Ai is special in this family, be careful dear. The anger of the one who has the grudge has no antidote." Al immediately frowned at the thought of Aira saying she had not graduated from college.

"Bapi, Mami beat up Aira." Ai hugged her awakened Papi hearing the commotion.

"Pi, this one kid is so brash. He tricked us, Aira hasn't graduated from college." Aliya stomped her feet in anger because she was lied to about education.

Altha looked at Ai who was smiling broadly nodding her head, Altha's body drowning overwhelmed at her daughter's behavior.

"But disappointed Aira, this time you're outrageous." Alt twitched his head at the anger of his wife.

Aira's screaming voice rang out, she had already told her Mami that it would disappoint the family, but her Mamminya said there was nothing disappointing as long as it was on the right path.

"How can you fool Mami?!" Al screaming in the middle of the night.

Aira folded her hands together and begged for mercy, running straight to her sister's house asking for help.

"Not only did Ai lie to us, but Juan did." Altha patted her forehead looking at the compact twins.

Aira walked into Juna and Genta's house, shouting for her sister. Juna who undressed asked Shin to immediately put his clothes back on before Aira entered.

"Sister Juna, save Ai Kak, Mami's rampaging." Aira entered the room hugging Juna who was patting his eel.

"Don't you know what time it is?"

"Know that angry Mami doesn't remember the time, Kak Juna Aira sleeps here alone." Ai wanted to climb onto the bed, but was kicked by Shin.

"Aunty why? here's Mora's story." Mora's wide smile was seen staring at the disheveled Aira.

"Little boy knows what? Aunty was expelled from college, so no graduation." Ai looked at the gaping Mora.

Juna and Shin's gaze was instantly sharp, Aira directly exited the room looking for Tika to ask for help.

Tika and her husband also wake up, shocked to see Juna angry because this time Aira is outrageous.

"What's wrong?" Tika hugged her youngest sister.

"Ai didn't graduate college, which means she cheated everyone." Shin shook his head in astonishment.

Tika directly hit his sister's outrageous shoulder, no wonder her mother was furious in the middle of the night.

Aira's head bowed to the anger of her two brothers who asked Aira to repeat.

Mira wakes up staring at the gaping Mora when she knows nothing, and does not understand either.

"Why you?"

"Pretend to be surprised, get in the mood." Mora's smile was wide.

"Ai, what have you been doing all this time? why neglect in education." Genta sat tidying Aira's hair.

"Sister, Aira's best friend died seven years ago, she was tragically killed. Ai wanted to give justice, but after a long struggle. Ai manages to uncover it, she's still alive and hates Ai." Aira's head bowed hugging her soothing sister-in-law.

Mora and Mira's heads shook their heads, believing that Aira was lying. He's just looking to be safe from the rampage.
