Behind The Lies
Scolded

Ten hours finally they arrived at the station and looked for the whereabouts of Sugeng, the driver of Juragan Hartanto.

“How now?” ask Iyash as he continues to move.

“What's the way?”

“You're not sad anymore, ‘kan?”

Aruna took a breath.

“Remember, if you need a storymate, find me aja.”

“Iya.”

“Do not be sad again, your face becomes ugly.”

Aruna turned to look at Iyash who was also looking at him, then he made his two eyeballs gather in the middle and become squint.

Iyash laughed as he rubbed the girl's face with his palm. “So getting worse.”

Aruna smiled and looked the other way. Now they are standing on the side of the road waiting for Sugeng. Aruna pulled Iyash's left hand to look at the young man's watch. He then sighed.

It was not until five minutes Sugeng came and they immediately got into the car. “Where, Mas, study tour?” ask Sugeng.

“No study tour,” replied Iyash ketus.

“Keep the two of you, dating?” investigate Sugeng while driving slowly.

“Iya. We are dating,” replied Aruna no less ketus.

Iyash looked at it. His heart beat when Aruna said that. However, he knew that Aruna was only joking.

“How far are you going to Jakarta. Tired of the village?”

“Bored. There are many hypocrites in the village. At least if in the city they will not interfere in our affairs,” said Aruna again. While Iyash just fell silent and bowed. Although not married, Sugeng is much older than them, that is the reason Iyash did not serve him.

“Run-Run.” Sugeng bobbing head. “Pity of your father has to lie. You don't think opo, hm?”

“Not Mas Sugeng business, anyway, just walk, not much comments.”

“Same men women can't go alone.”

“Iyo the third Mas Sugeng.”

“Satan! Opo Mas Sugeng - Mas Sugeng?”

Iyash shook his head as Aruna continued to argue with Sugeng. He just did not expect after analyzing Aruna turned out that the girl was far from what he had imagined before.

“Once again you two are together, go far away, sleep together, get pregnant you.” Sugeng as if cursing Aruna.

“Be careful when you say, Mas,” said Iyash firmly. “I was silent because Mas Sugeng was older than me. I appreciate it, but if Mas like that, Mas do not deserve respect from us.”

Sugeng suddenly nodded. Arriving in front of Juragan Hartanto's house they immediately went down, when Aruna was about to go home suddenly Grandma Alma called.

“Aruna, come here a minute we want to talk.”

Aruna's heart is beating. Instead of going straight in, Aruna looked and looked at Iyash who was also still standing in front of the house. Just like Iyash, Aruna was also actually scared, especially after seeing Grandma Alma's normally friendly face, now turned violent.

Slowly Iyash stepped in followed by Aruna. However, they must take responsibility for what they have done. Arriving in the living room they were surprised to see everyone gathered, including Ridwan who was also already there.

Two pieces of fake study tour letters are on the table. Though Iyash never showed it, it seems like Grandma Alma found the paper on her bookshelf.

“Sit!” alma Grandma's.

Iyash and Aruna were forced to sit on the same sofa and next to each other.

“Explain to us, where are you from?” juragan Hartanto asked firmly and authoritatively.

They even fell silent.

Iyash's heart was broken, indeed he was confused to answer what because the right to answer was Aruna. Iyash was just accompanying.

Mirasih closed in while sighing. “Aruna, you asked Iyash to take you to Jakarta for what?”

Aruna was silent and stared at Ridwan for a long time. Suddenly her tears fell.

Mirasih took a breath back. Iyash was afraid that this time his father's brother snapped because as they knew, Mirasih was a grumpy and stern man, he would not spare anyone who walked without complying with the rules he made. “Yash, you drove Aruna to meet Masmu?” urged Mirasih.

Iyash's heart is beating. If he answers yes, Mirasih must be angry, if he answers no they must ask for another answer, finally Iyash back to silence.

“Ck. means it is true.” Mirasih then looked at Aruna. “Aruna, I told you never to interfere with my son's education, he went to Jakarta to study, he has ideals. After all you are still too small to do this, you should focus on your education only, never disturb my child,” said Mirasih firmly.

However, it seems that Aruna did not care, he was silent and did not make any defense, which Iyash feared even added to his sadness.

“Aruna!” snapped Mirasih until the two of them gasped. “You heard my words?”

“Aruna to Jakarta for his mother,” Iyash fast and instantly everyone turns to look at Iyash. “Sorry, Run, I had to say.”

“Aruna, is that true?” ask Ridwan.

Aruna. His soul was like being thrown, even though he had previously had an argument with Sugeng. Finally Iyash who answered the question posed by Ridwan aka Gusman. “Iya, Sir, I'm sorry.” Iyash took a breath. “Aruna just asked for my help and already I should have helped her.”

“Because you like?” accuse Mirasih.

“Because of Aruna friend Iyash, Bude,” said the young man.

  “Friends? You should not interfere in Aruna's affairs too far, Iyash,” Mirasih said again. While Granny Alma, Juragan Hartanto and Ridwan looked disappointed.

“What's wrong? If it wasn't Iyash who helped him then? Mr Ridwan?”

 Instantly Aruna turned her gaze away and she looked at Mirasih. “At least just honest Iyash.”

Iyash turned his head and looked at Aruna who was unceasingly wiping away the tears.

“Aruna did not ask for more, Aruna just wanted to know whether the woman who gave birth to Aruna is still alive or has indeed died,” said Iyash.

“What results do you get, hm? Why not be honest from the beginning? Why lie?!” Mirasih kicked the table.

“Sabar Mir's. They are young.”

“Just because they are young, Mom, don't get used to lying.” Mirasih sighed and looked at Aruna. “You involved Iyash in your problem and you told him to lie?”

Iyash immediately shook his head. “That's the initiative Iyash kok, Bude.”

“Shut up! Bude knows you can't lie, let alone Grandma and Grandpa.”

Aruna took a breath. “Iya. Aruna asked Iyash to make up a story about a friend's birthday.”

“Good. Iyash is schooled here to get a good environment, but you even have a bad influence.”

Aruna felt slapped. Her tears flashed back on her red cheeks. Slowly he got up and left the Juragan Hartanto residence.

“Bude outrageous!” shout Iyash. He also chose to go to the room.

While slowly Ridwan lowered his knees in front of them. “I'm sorry. I failed to educate Aruna.”

“Lain times, this should not happen again,” Mirasih said.

“Wan, it's okay. Aruna is young, her curiosity is big, her soul looks turbulent,” said Granny Alma.

“He just wants to find the truth for his life,” said Juragan Hartanto.

Ridwan. Slowly, then he got up. “I excuse me. Assalamualaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”
