The Ours In Another Story

68. Strive Strong

This week has been a busy week for all members of the Kusuma family. Starting from Monika who must undergo a trial on plagiarism charges, to Lia who still has to undergo examination by the local police. Jevan is no less busy. He goes back and forth to the hospital to accompany his wife as well as take care of the mess that was in the boutique after being left behind by Rere who fell ill.

"But still can participate in the exhibition, right even though it does not follow the catwalk?"

"It can still be the Boss. It's been taken care of by Hanna and Mas Cedar. The committee understood so we can still attend the exhibition without participating in the catwalk. It's just that, which we're still confused about. Although participating in exhibitions and sold out products, the most profits are only enough to reverse the capital of the damaged costume yesterday. Not to mention the rivals Rere must be looking for a gap to drop Mbak," said Doni helped explain to Jevan who came this morning.

"But you can still hold on, right? I will not demand that you work until you return the capital. For this loss is a back affair. Now we just focus on following the exhibition as it is. You guys I pay. Your overtime money I'll prepare. But I'm sorry that not much is at least enough to replace the gas and food money" Jevan said.

"No need to bother the Boss, we do not know why we do not get overtime money. We both live it. The children alone we both do not need, anyway we are this if not for mbak Rere also will not be able to be like now. We're doing fine. As long as we can still work together Mbak Rere there or not the payment is not a problem," said Dwi also embraced by Doni.

"Thank you both for being loyal to Rere. But you still have to appreciate. Whatever the amount will be accepted. It is not good to refuse the windfall" Jevan said with a smile. Although sometimes Rere's employees are annoying, but Jevan is lucky his wife is awarded employees who are so loyal to him. He did not have to worry because there were those who would help his wife. So his wife would never fight alone.

Elsewhere at the same time Monika along with her lawyer come to trial to settle the case that dragged her name. Unlike Rere and Lia, Monika had no fear of him at all. She became strong after yesterday accompanying her husband. It turned out that he actually got a lesson that most people do not have. Having the strength to challenge danger for the sake of his family was much better than others.

"Mother, you don't have your own papa?"

"No Dad, I've experienced it. From your case yesterday I found out I got something very valuable that I will not get from others. I'm becoming strong Jov. I'm invincible now. If yesterday I was able to challenge the whole world for you, especially now. This matter will be easily solved. Moreover, I am innocent. I'm sure I'll be fine" Monika said.

"Be careful, Mother" said Jovan.

"I'll be careful" replied Monika.

She asked her husband for his blessing. It's not usually that she'll kiss Jovan's hand and hug him before leaving but this time it feels like she should do that. He wanted to feel Jovan by his side even though he wasn't physically with her.

"I'm leaving, yes" said Monika, embraced by Jovan.

Another Monika, another Aprilia. The beloved wife of Junius Chandra has not stopped crying since last night. He's just like Rere who's still in shock. Never in his whole life had he dealt with the police let alone for something he didn't do. He himself also wondered where the screenshot of his conversation with a student came from. He never did but the police admitted it as evidence that's why Lia continues to be processed according to the law.

Rama continued to cry, Krishna did not want to eat, and Abhimanyu who had been famous for being active just sat quietly on the sofa while watching television. Lia was alone at home because Junius was out looking for something for lunch. He had to cover all the housework because he did not have the heart Lia had to do it even though his heart was not careless.

"Let's dong Krishna eat a little," said Lia finally back to crying.

"What's the cry on?" ask Abi.

"Abi, help Mother dong. You pinter yeah, don't be fussy huh," Lia said to her eldest son.

"Yes Mother," Abi finally fell silent. Only Krishna and Rama remained to calm him down.

On his back he carried Rama who never wanted to be taken down while his two hands held the same Krishna crying. Soon enough, the crying Krishna vomited on Lia's clothes making her cry even more. He panicked not playing because after vomiting Krishna instead of silence even more so his cry. In addition, Lia saw Abi so panicked even though she did not dare to get off the sofa.

At that exact time Junius was again immediately greeted by the sound of crying from inside his house. He rushed in and took Krishna from his wife's arms while Lia was already crying in confusion.

"Darling you're not papa?" ask Junius.

"Mas Krishna puked Rama was also crying continuously gini, help me dong I was confused," said Lia.

Soon Junius took Krishna to the hospital with the faithful Lia holding Rama and holding Abi. Mama herself checked Kresna's condition in the ER. The little baby had a high fever, Mama had given him a heat sink and also gave him a temporary infusion so he could rest. Kresna is currently sleeping in an ER bed. Lia cried, when she put Rama to sleep who finally fell asleep also next to Krishna, she cried.

Junius had just returned after redeeming the medicine. He found Lia daydreaming staring at her two sleeping sons. Junius could not bear to see him he knew his wife was in half-dead shock and had to take care of their young son alone. Junius immediately asked for leave of absence from his boss for one week because he could not bear to leave his wife alone.

"You can take a week off, but this is not going to be cut off from your annual leave. Besides the office is empty job again so you I give free vacation. The condition is only one, you must immediately solve the problem in your Papa's office. Because that problem dragged my sister along too. I don't want anything to happen to Rere, you understand?"

"Yes, thank you very much" replied Junius.
