This afternoon, wrapped in a gray T-shirt combined with black hotpants, Ara cleaned the courtyard of her cake shop as well as the table there. Repairs the order of plants and some decorative lights in the store. While Aura was in the store serving some shoppers who came this afternoon.
Busy at her work, Ara is shocked when a broom suddenly lands on the table she cleaned. Someone throws it so violently that it hits his face a little.
Ara looked up at the group of mothers who were already standing before her, looking at her with a hostile look. Ara did not understand what happened, while Aura who saw the incident was no less shocked and immediately rushed forward and protected Ara. It could be dangerous if the mothers did anything further. Ara who was still in shock just looked at them with her dazed gaze.
"What are these mothers?" aura asked slightly up, not Accept what they did to Ara.
Can Ara see, the group of mothers were staring so angry at him.
"EXORCISE HIM FROM OUR VILLAGE" shouted one of those who was in the front and immediately accepted the people behind him.
"What's the matter, we can talk about. What's the matter, why does my sister have to leave here?" tanya Aura tried to calm down.
"SHE WAS NOT PREGNANT BECAUSE SHE WAS MARRIED, SHE WAS NOT LEFT DEAD BY HER HUSBAND. SHE'S A CHEAP WOMAN WHO GOT PREGNANT OUT OF WEDLOCK,".
Degs..
The words managed to pierce Ara's heart. Like an arrow that immediately shot its roughness, those words managed to make his heart crack again. Aura was no less shocked, how could these mothers know? The goldenness on his fingers Aura felt. Ara clasped her hands so tightly. The woman stepped back with her tears in her eyes. Aura understood Ara's condition now, surely Ara was struck and hurt by the words of those mothers.
"Right, get him out of here. He doesn't deserve to be here, just ruining our village" another cheered, agreeing.
Ara shed her tears, she no longer knew what to do now. The secret is already exposed and he will soon be expelled from here, then where will he live?. She didn't know who else to ask for help, she didn't know what to defend herself because what they said was true was that she was pregnant before marriage.
Aura let out a rough sigh, these mothers have crossed the line, even though she knows the truth but it is not a deliberate thing. This was out of both control. Aura did not justify it all, but anyway everything had happened, then why else blame Ara or her fiance, Gio.
"Ara is not pregnant out of wedlock" Aura replied firmly.
Ara looked at Aura with wet eyes, the woman was surprised by Aura who dared to defend her in front of everyone while she was alone.
"Mom don't be a vigilante, or I report your actions to the authorities" he continued. Makes the mothers instantly silent.
Aura pulled Ara to stand beside her, clasping Ara's hand tightly trying to convince her that everything would be fine.
"Who said Ara was pregnant out of wedlock, how do you know that?" ask Aura.
"Jawab," circus Aura.
"You don't need to know that, but clearly Ara has to leave our village before we drag her away" the mothers replied.
Again and again Aura sighed harshly, while Ara no longer knew what to do. Everything was revealed and what he had to say to defend himself. Deep down she hoped that in the present state, Gio came to hold her hand and told everyone that she was her husband, but hope only remained hope, it would never happen. Gio was already happy with his own choices and he had to face this kind of problem, also alone.
Aura took off Ara's hand and went inside Ara's house to get something. After a few minutes Aura returned with a letter and lifted it right in front of everyone.
"My sister is married, the evidence is there and on what basis are you accusing her of being pregnant out of wedlock" Aura continued.
Ara was shocked to see that, as well as the mothers who had asked Ara to leave from there. The whispers started Ara and Aura heard clearly from those mothers.
"I can report all of you for defamation if you continue to behave like this. Mothers, preferably before judging people, seek the truth first. Oh yeah, one more. It's a copy of Ara's marriage book and her husband's because Ara's marriage book is being held by her in-laws so she only carries her copy. If you don't believe me, please check. It was written clearly the name of Ara, her husband, the date of marriage, the photo and the signature of both," he explained at length and then put the paper on the table with a rough.
"If you still act like this, I will not hesitate to be rude to you,"
With hunting breath and chest up and down, Aura defended Ara alone. While Ara had already shed her tears, moved by Aura's attitude that still supported her.
"Mending mothers disperse, do not need to spread slander," he continued.
A while later, the mothers left Ara and Aura who were still standing staring at them. Aura let out a rough sigh then sat on a chair not far from her. Repeatedly the narrow-eyed woman rubbed her chest slowly trying to dampen the anger in her.
"Sister." call Ara slowly managed to divert Aura's attention.
Ara approached and stood right in front of Aura who looked up at her.
"Thank you for helping Ara again. I don't know what else to say but thanks," Ara said staring sincerely at Aura.
"If there was no brother, maybe I was dragged from here" he continued.
Aura smiled then led Ara to sit in the chair beside her, looking at Ara with a shady look.
"As a brother, that's what I should have done. Protecting my sister," said Aura made Ara's eyes glazed over.
Ara's gaze was fixed on the paper that Aura had shown the mothers who had come. "Why can't there be that?" ask Ara curiously.
Aura smiled meaningfully as she stared at the letter before the two.
"After you tell me what happened yesterday, I asked my friend to make it like that. Because I can't make a real marriage certificate so I ask him as if it's a photocopy of your marriage book," Aura replied with a wide grin.
"Can I think?" ask Ara.
"Do not know, just anticipate. Who knows when it was needed and really needed, no. Just a little bit of adding to the story makes it look real" he replied proudly.
Ara looked at Aura in admiration. He could have thought about it that far, but he didn't think at all.
"I don't want my sister and niece to do anything,"
