Wife Interlude

Bab.51 Proud

"It turns out he's the son of this actor, it's worth it as a child his behavior has been like a thug," said the young woman with hair in purplish paint.

Lina who heard that immediately turned to the woman, as well as Arya and all the adults who were there.

"Get's talk, you, Madam!" sharp Arya who felt unacceptable with the words of the woman.

"Why? That's the truth" asked the woman cynically. He glanced at Lina with dislike.

"Ah, is it okay that the child is an illegitimate child, so his behavior is very rude," continued the woman again in her relaxed style, as if she was used to saying rude things to others.

"Please take care of your mouth, Madam. It doesn't feel right to talk about it in front of kids like this." Rina stood up then sat down beside the Star, opposite the woman who was sitting on a different chair.

Rina still looks calm with a face that is without ripples at all, but, actually the woman is holding back her emotions, because she does not want to embarrass the Star at school, what else this problem has not been clarified, who is guilty.

Arya knows all that, six years they repeatedly faced problems together, making Arya already know enough how Rina always behaves.

"What happened to the stars, sir?" Arya switched the conversation and preferred to ask the headmaster who had been paying attention since.

"Look, Sir-"

"She has hurt my son and his friends, and she doesn't want to apologize and admit her mistakes!" one of the middle-aged men who was the guardian of the students there replied by cutting off the words of the principal.

"May I ask for an explanation, Principal Sir?" Arya seemed to have never heard the reply from the student guardian, and was still focused on the principal. Until the middle-aged man clucked furiously.

"We found the Star pushing her friends until they were hurt, sir," the headmaster replied, bowing his head slightly, as if reluctant to meet Arya with a glance.

Meanwhile, Lina hugged the frightened-looking Star. This time Rina only wants to focus on her son, while Arya takes care of the problems that occur, considering that as a man, Arya will be more respected and heard by her interlocutors.

"Then do you know what the reason for this fight is?" arya asked again with a serious face and a cold tone of speech.

"The star hasn't opened its voice yet, sir," replied the principal.

"Well, no betele-tele, this is clearly the Star's fault, and we just want him to admit his mistake and apologize to our son!" the middle-aged man began to give provocation to other parents, until now they whispered to each other.

Arya seemed to be exhaling slowly, trying to regulate emotions and not being provoked by the elders there. His gaze now turned to the Star who was still seen sitting down beside Rina.

This kind of situation was simply not worth seeing and hearing by Star-age children. It could be just a casual quarrel between small children, which does not need the intervention of adults in it.

But that's all gone. Now adults have interfered in this little boy's problem, and it seems that they have been beating the drums of war on him from the beginning.

Arya now turns to sit beside the Star, until the child is now in the middle between Arya and Rina.

"Hey, hotshot," said Arya while holding both shoulders of the Star and taking her to look at him, until Rina took off her embrace on the child.

Slowly the Star raised its head looking at Arya who was now smiling at him. The tiny hands seemed to be squeezing each other over his lap, to dampen his nervousness. Arya again exhaled her breath slowly upon seeing that.

"Now there are Papa and Mama here, you don't be afraid anymore, hem," said Arya while taking the tiny hand of the Star.

He could feel how nervous the current Star was. How not? A six-year-old boy, getting pressure from some adults who looked at him full of intimidation, even blatantly insulted his mother in front of him himself. It was a very tough situation for the stars.

"Papa believes the Star is a good boy, the Star couldn't have done any of this if there wasn't a reason, right?" arya said with full of tenderness.

The star replied with a faint nod. The boy still chose silence.

"Well of it? Already making people's children hurt, instead of being scolded or punished, this is even praised. Ck!" muttered one of the guardians there who could still be heard by Rina, Arya, and Bintang.

Arya turned her head with a sharp look at that person, she did not like if there were people who were talking while she was being serious. Especially judging and judging his family.

The purple-haired woman seemed to swallow her saliva with difficulty, and instantly silenced her mouth the moment she saw Arya's sharp gaze. He cast a glance in any direction, the important thing was not to collide with Aryan's eyes.

"Talk to Papa, why are you fighting with them, hem?" arya asked again, turning her attention back to the Stars.

"They also said that papa Bintang, not Papa Arya," continued Bintang again, with a more soft voice as well.

The little boy's nose looked red, indicating that he was holding back crying.

Lina hugged her son from behind, she really felt guilty for this incident. It turns out that now the Star is also affected by the video made by Tari. The struggle came back again like when they were in the village.

"I'm sorry Mama, baby," said Rina with a face that changed. He kissed the top of the star repeatedly.

Which mother will not be sad if she sees her child getting hurt, because of problems between parents. Rian and Arya have done various ways so that Bintang does not get in trouble because of the video. However, it turns out that there is still a gap until now the child must feel heartache because of the situation.

Unlike Rina, Arya now smiles and stares at the Star with a proud twinkle. She was proud that the Star only defended herself, especially defending her mother's honor.

It is undeniable, if the last words of the Star make his heart flowery. Arya was very happy because the Star really thought of her as a father.

"Great boy, Papa loves the stars very much." Arya kissed the boy's forehead, with her face.

"Sir, it's a pity to see the CCTV footage," said Arya again turned to staring at the principal.

"Well, sir," the principal replied, then contacted security to send CCTV footage showing the fight between the Star and her three friends.

Moments later, both Arya, Rina, and everyone else there were focused on looking at the screen, where they saw footage between their children.

There it was clear that when the stars were playing with other children as usual, they looked equally happy. Until suddenly the three children approached the Star and immediately pushed the Star until it almost fell.

However, since the Star balance was already trained, the boy only slightly staggered forward. The star was still seen ignoring when the three children began to be seen talking to the Star, until shortly afterwards the look on the face of the Star seemed to change. The three children were still talking until one of them again tried to push the Star. The trained star turned things around so easily that the three children fell to the ground.

Fights ensued, unfortunately the Star that has been equipped with martial arts can defeat the other three children without any injuries, until now the Star became accused.

"From the CCTV footage it is clear, if the people who started the fight are them, the stars are just defending themselves" Arya said with a smile.

The man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled at the Star, before continuing his words.

"Well, this way the problem is solved. The star shouldn't apologize, because he's just defending himself. And, as a victim ..we have also forgiven you, before you apologize."

Arya said confidently, a mocking smile accompanied in every single one of her words.

"Eeh, can't do that dong! It doesn't matter who started first .. Now our child is hurt, so still the wrong one is the Star!" The woman with purple hair did not accept, some of the parents nodded in agreement to her words.

"That's a risk for your child who's been bothering the stars. After all, why did you let those kids insult his friend's mother? So now accept the consequences of your upbringing as their guardians!" arya replied easily, she even still maintained a thin smile on her face.

"Sir, can we go home?" arya asked turning back to the principal. He then went to stand with Bintang and Rina, after getting the principal's approval.

"Ah, and one more. Please also take care of your mouth, if you do not want to receive a police summons," Arya said before going outside the Bintang principal's room.

This afternoon Rina again felt lucky because there was Arya beside her. She was so grateful that God had brought Arya for her.

Arriving outside the room with her cheerful face Arya and the Stars are posing, then Arya holds the Stars on her shoulders. The man wasn't even afraid his shirt would get dirty and tangled because of the Stars.

"Smart child, Papa is proud of the Stars, because it is willing to defend Mama without fear!" arya said without hesitation.

Rina who accompanied Arya's wide steps while carrying her son's school bag, could only smile while shaking her head faintly.

Thank you for always being there for both of us.
