“Gusti!”
“Mami!”
The woman, called by Gusti as mami, immediately approached the man, and hugged him. Gusti like getting protection when the mother came to visit him. Yesterday, my mother and her two sisters visited and showed only cold faces. There were no words they spoke to comfort him, let alone try to assuage his father's anger.
“You have nothing, baby?”
“Mami. I'm scared. Papa wants to put me in jail. I'm afraid mami.”
“You just calm down. Mami won't let you in jail. It won't! You are a mother child! Mami's son!”
The woman hugged Gusti. His hand rubbed against Gusti's back, trying to provide calm and support for him. Anything will be done to prevent Rashid from putting his son in jail.
Hearing the arrival of her brother, the Officers rushed towards the room where Gusti was locked up. He was sure that the brother would act again under the pretext of loving Gusti. Astari, her brother does have many acquaintances of influential people in the government and also the TNI. He did not want Astari to use her powers to get Gusti out of punishment.
Astari is a widow. Her husband and only child died in a plane crash 22 years ago. The woman was devastated when she lost two loved ones at once. He stayed home more and refused to take care of himself. At that moment, his life seemed to be over.
Three months after her husband and child died, the clerk gave birth to Gusti. In order to restore the spirit of the brother's life, the Officers often bring Gusti who was only a month old to the Astari house. What he did worked. Seeing Gusti, Astari again eager to live. The woman begged Gusti to be given to her.
Of course the officer did not grant her brother's wish. After all, she who was pregnant and gave birth to Gusti. There's no way he's just giving up Gusti. As Astari continued to plead, the Officer allowed her brother to take care of Gusti with her, provided that Astari did not interfere in her and her husband's ways when educating children. Astari also accepted it.
While the Officer is busy taking care of his other two children, Astari comes to his aid. He just wants to take care of Gusti alone, while for Rizky and Razak's business, he does not care at all. For him, Gusti was a child given by God in exchange for his son who had gone home earlier.
Secretly behind the Officers and Rashid, Astari always indulges Gusti. He always fulfilled what Gusti wanted. Even when the boy made a mistake, then he was in the front guard to cover up all Gusti's mistakes. Every child was punished by Rashid, Astari secretly helped him. This even formed Gusti into a spoiled, arrogant and self-described person.
Repeatedly making trouble and not deterred, Rashid decided to send his son to attend an air force academy. He wanted Gusti to be more disciplined and purposeful in his life. Rashid hoped that being away from Astari would change Gusti's attitude. But once again, the boy disappointed him. Now Gusti made a more fatal mistake.
Kembai into the isolation room, there Gusti was telling the problems that befell him. What he did to Seno, and why until Eko got involved and eventually died.
“Seno is brash, mi. He has no respect for seniors. It's only natural that I rebuke him. Uh he didn't accept me and trap me until I was punished by the same coach. That's not it, mi. He spread slander about me to friends in the department. Until I was not strong and fought him. He's the same as me. Hari and Esa help me, mi. We fight and Eko falls. He died because of his own actions, why am I wronged? This isn't fair, is it, mi?”
“Badness of the child whose name is Seno.your papa also just believe the news he got. Don't worry, my mom will help you. If need be mami will send a letter to the president to release you.”
“Still, mami.”
Gusti hugged Astari. Now that only woman is the only hope. He didn't go to the hotel prodeo. The man did not want his freedom to be shackled and did not want his future to be ruined. He will soon be appointed as an officer of the TNI AU. His hard work during this time will be in vain if he is expelled from the academy.
The door of the room opened violently, from the outside the officer entered. His eyes stared intently at the older brother who was still hugging his son. Seeing his mother's arrival, Gusti hides behind Astari.
“Your path, Wita. As a mother, you should be defending your child. Not even pushing him to the edge of the abyss. You are a real mother what is her stepmother?!” astari's anger just exploded seeing his sister coming.
“Mba.. let's get out first. We're talking somewhere else.”
“Ngga needs! If you want to talk here. I will not leave my son!”
“This is not a house where mba can do as she pleases. Let's go, mba. Before Rashid ordered his men to drag mba out.”
Hearing the threat of the Officer, Astari finally moved from her place. Before leaving, he again calmed Gusti down. The woman just passed her sister. The officer looked at Gusti before exiting the room.
“If you are a son of mama and papa. Dare to face reality and accept punishment. Don't hide behind your mama's armpits anymore. Mama's really disappointed in you, Gusti. Just because your mom always grants you what you want, you think she's better than you. Mama is hard on you, because she wants you to grow up to be a good and responsible child. Not to be a spoiled and arrogant child. Not always a kind and gentle attitude will guide you in kindness. It could be the way to get you. Catch that!”
The officer came out of the room after speaking at length to his son. Gusti fell down after the officer passed. He held his head which immediately felt dizzy. It seemed like for this time, even an Astari would not be able to help him out of trouble.
After exiting Gusti's isolation room, aide Irjen Rashid led Astari to the academy's governor's room. The officer and Rashid used the room to talk to the older brother. During the investigation, Irjen Rashid took over the academy. The governor and deputy governor were relieved of their duties, and temporarily placed under house arrest. So do the people who helped cover up the case.
The adjutant opened the door of the room and invited Astari to enter. The woman immediately went inside and sat on the sofa. His eyes continued to look at his sister-in-law who was sitting behind the governor's desk. Not long after, the officer entered. The woman sat right in front of her sister.
“What do you want to talk about?” ask Astari without further ado.
“I want to mba not interfere in Gusti.” problem
“Can't! Gusti is my son. I want him released right now!”
“Gusti has made a mistake. He must be punished to be deterred,” timpal Irjen Rashid.
“You can't punish him, can't! You have no right to punish Gusti! On what grounds did you punish Gusti? On what basis?!”
“GUSTI IS MY SON!!”
