Family to My Son

CHAPTER 4

Happy Reading!!!

Arumi eagerly presses the green button to lift the call from the man she loves so much.

"Bintang Mas," said Arumi cheerfully picking up her phone. The woman went to the side of the deserted cathering building so that no one would see her.

The star across there smiled handsomely. There was a longing and carefree tone from Arumi picking up her phone. "What are you again?" ask the star across there.

"This is again at the cathering place. Mas how are you? Everything's fine, right?" asked Arumi with a worried fiber tone.

"Good mas. Sorry, this one month is a lot of work. I can call you now."

Arumi breathed a sigh of relief. She was happy to hear the news that the man she loved was doing well. But tucked wistfully in his heart. "I'm also good here, Mas," Arumi said intending to tell even though Bintang did not ask.

"Jas. Then I'll continue my work, Mom. I'm afraid someone will find me. You don't want other people to know our relationship, do you?" tanya Arumi continued intending to test the Star.

Let alone. If the world needs to know that you have me.

Those words were what Arumi wanted to hear from the lips of the Star. But all was disputed in seconds.

"Yes already. I closed yes. You're fine there."

Arumi kept the phone away from her ear. Her tang wiped away the tears that had suddenly fallen without her being able to prevent. He was glad the stars contacted him. But on the one hand he was also sad that the Star did not ask how he was feeling at the moment.

There is fear in Arumi. What if the Star does not return and what about the fetus that is still in the stomach?

"Please say to God for the love of mama strength yes, son," said Arumi rubbed her stomach still flat. Arumi had not checked and checked for pregnancy, but her heart was very sure of the truth of this alleged pregnancy.

Arumi turned around and re-entered the cathering kitchen. Arumi frowned to see some of his fellow employees who seemed very enthusiastic to hear Buk Ida tell a story.

"What's up, Mom?" ask Arumi, curious.

"This is nduk, his son, Eli, next door, already has children" said Ida Bu.

"Then what's wrong?" ask Arumi in wonder.

"You are how, he is not married yet. I don't have a husband yet. I don't know if a child was born. His own mother was shocked," said Ida Bu told more clearly.

Arumi's body stiffened hearing Ida's words. With a reflex he immediately touched his flat stomach. "Then what now, Mom?" asked Arumi nervously.

"In the village next door tight, son. The news is that the law whips and is paraded around the village without clothes," replied Ms. Ida who made Arumi look in disbelief.

"That's cruel, Mom?" ask Arumi to make sure.

Madam Ida nodded. "There will be no tolerance for Zina, son. Especially in our village which is still thick with customs and strong religion," replied Bu Ida honestly.

Arumi could only nod. Fear was now lodged in his heart. Without saying anything else the woman immediately moved on and immediately did another job. His head got dizzy the more he heard the bad news.

Finished gossiping, Ms. Ida resumed her work. The middle-aged woman turned around and looked in surprise at Arumi's trembling back.

"Why are you, Nduk?" mom asked Ida to touch Arumi's back.

Arumi jumped in shock. "This, Buk. Her eyes hurt from the onion" replied Arumi nervously.

Arumi turned her eyes away from Ida. Curious Mother Ida looked closely at Arumi's eyes. "So cool is this onion, nduk?" ask Ms. Ida suspiciously.

Arumi smiled and nodded. "Until I sob like this, Buk," replied Arumi reassuring Ms. Ida.

"If something makes you hurt, tell me, nduk. You don't think of your mother as your own family?" buk Ida looked pityfully at Arumi.

"Mom don't know how cruel this onion water is to make you sob so, son. Hopefully this is only because of onions, yes son," said Buk Ida sincerely.

But this isn't about onions, ma'am. Inner Arumi cried. It's very hard to tell everything. Whatever he's gonna say, he's the one who's wrong here. He was wrong because he couldn't take care of himself. He is wrong for being overwhelmed by love. Opening the sound will only make him more tormented.

Buk Ida sighed softly. "If there's anything Mom's ready to help you, son," Buk Ida replied affectionately.

"Thank you very much, Buk," replied Arumi politely.

.....

"I'm sure if a school like this is not possible to let the facilities just be damaged," said Bintang staring intimidatedly at the head of Nusantara High School. The school that became the last place his favorite sister died.

The headmaster named Abdi Husin sighed softly. "I'm not lying, Star boy. If you do not believe please check the CCTV footage four know the past. The rooftop is rarely checked because it is a place that is rarely visited by students or teachers" replied Mr. Abdi tired.

"Follow"

The Star's speech came to a halt as soon as Space held its shoulder. They both came here to look for rooftop CCTV footage when it happened.

"Can we ask for CCTV aisle to the rooftop?" ask the Space patiently. The man had more patience than the stars.

"If there is. Come with me" said Mr. Abdi took his chair and walked to the school CCTV recording room.

Walking towards the passageway made all of the students' eyes focused on the Stars and Space. Two very handsome adults. Moreover, this is a break hour. Star and Space accidentally come not wearing their police uniforms because they do not want to make school residents think that no-no.

Arriving at the storage room, the headmaster asked the guard to find CCTV right on the day of the tragedy of Kintani's death. It did not take long for the guard to return to face Mr. Abdi, Star and Space. "This, sir," he said politely.

"Please turn, yes," asked Mr. Abdi and immediately embraced by the guard.

The stars and space seemed to be very focused on seeing the footage. There are no suspicious signs there. Right on the recording at Four in the afternoon over nine minutes, Bintang and Angkasa saw Kintani walking alone up the stairs to the school rooftop.

"Stop, Sir!" said Bintang instructed so that the recording was paused.

"Who is this woman?" tanya Bintang refers to a female student who climbed the stairs after Kintani.

"He was also one of the students here first, son," replied Mr. Abdi confidently. Because who else rides the rooftop besides the students at this school.

Angkasa swiftly pulled out his phone and photographed the footage that was pause.

"I Ask for a Kintani Class Aisle Record. My sister used to be in XII class. IPA 1" said the star again.

Mr. Abdi nodded. He gave the guards a code to immediately search for the footage.

After a few minutes, finally the recording that the Star requested was played.

The stars and Space looked at each other as soon as a student stopped Kintani's steps about to enter the classroom. After a few minutes, Kintani was seen leaving. But not to class or to the stairs.

"Why!" say Space.

"Please zoom in on this schoolgirl," said the sky in order to see clearly the face of the student who was talking to Kintani. This must be all related.

The stars and space look at each other. Their guess is even stronger if Kintani doesn't die by suicide.

"We're asking for this student's data, sir."
