I CHOOSE FAITHFULNESS
The Buried Ego

Happy beginning of the semester, become a new student with loved ones. After being given input several times by Keanu, Aura finally decided to continue his school.

His initial intention to work remains in his doing, currently Aura is working in a fairly large bookstore in his area. And that was enough for the tuition and also helped his father buy medicines for his mother.

"How was it today?" Keanu asked as Aura approached him in front of the campus.

Keanu deliberately waited for Aura there, because they were going to go to lunch together.

"The start is heavy." Aura replied bending her face, as she had just come out of the class of the famous Aandre sir was very resolute.

"Patience baby, remember you need good grades in the course of Mr. Andre." Keanu gives encouragement to his lover, because to get a scholarship in the next year Aura must get good grades.

To stay in college without thinking about finances, the only way is to pursue a Scholarship. Because Now Aura only thinks about raising money for her mother. Apparently the splendor offered by her birth mother did not make Aura's heart moved to stay with Jasmin. He chose to live well with his mother who was very ill.

Drrt..drrt....

The sound of vibrating from Aura's phone, he reached into his pocket to pick up his phone, and it turns out his father's name is clearly displayed on the screen of his cellphone.

It was not usual for Agus to contact Aura if it was not about his mother. He breathed before wiping his phone screen.

His eyes widened and began to collect tears in his fertilizer. His body was limp, as if all the bones had just slipped away. After hearing the news from his father.

Apparently Keanu noticed and looked at the fort, Keanu immediately embraced Aura's body and asked what was going on.

"So father? what did you say?" Ask with worry.

Suddenly his sight began to blacken. Keanu's face that was as usual was clearly blurry.

"Aura's sober!" His body was shaken so hard, that he could see a bright light again, Now he saw Keanu who was staring worriedly at him.

"Mother Nu, we need to get to the hospital right away." Answer Aura riled.

"Drink first, then we go." Keanu said giving a glass of water to drink Aura.

By riding Keanu's flagship motorbike, they also headed to the hospital. Aura was very anxious, she did not want to lose her mother. Along the way she just won and asked Keanu to speed up to get to the hospital immediately.

After arriving, Aura immediately ran to the ER where her mother was, and there she saw her father was pleading with the sick runah.

"Please break up my wife, save her first." Shouts break Asa from Agus' mouth.

"Sorry sir, we'll take care of your wife after you pay the fee."

"Sir...." Aura called Agus and cried in her arms.

"Aura, your mother, son, she needs to be urgently operated." Agus can not do much, financial limitations are a problem at this time.

"How much do you need, sir?" Asked Keanu who understood the circumstances back then.

"The whole cost is 100 million, but they asked for half, to start the operation." Agus bowed his head, From where can he get that much money in an instant.

"Aura, keep your mother here, you have to find the money." Agus could not just remain silent. He has to find the money as soon as possible somehow, which is clear he has to keep berusha.

Kenau pensive for a moment, his brain turned hard, looking for a way to get that much money. Even the money he had collected, from all his hard work, did not cover a certain amount of the necessary expenses.

"Nu, you better go home too. Don't you have to work Nu, I'm fine."

Said Aura slowly.

Kenau grabs Aura's hand, then tightly knocks her. Trying to convince Aura to believe what she was going to say.

"Aura, you wait here, I promise I'll come with money for the mother's expenses."

"Where are you going to find that much money?" It was not that she did not believe Keanu, but Aura was worried that Keanu would do something to harm her.

"You believe me, don't worry, I'll bring you the money. Wait for me."

Keanu could not just think about the burden of the Aura family, if only he remained Keanu hartanto it would be very easy to get 100 million money.

But he realized now that he was not Keanu Hartanto, who could easily spend that much money, he used to think that 100 million was a little money, but after only being a Keanu only, he used to consider that money, without his father's last name, 100 million is very much money.

There is only one way to get that big money in an instant, which is to return to being Keanu hartanto which means returning to being the son of his father, who must follow what his father wants.

For the sake of Aura, despite having to throw away her pride, for the sake of Aura, despite having to get back constrained and Demi Aura, Keanu could do anything.

By this time he had been standing at the door of his parents' house, already months after his departure he had set foot again in the house where he had grown up.

"Mas... Our son's coming home, Keanu's coming home." Shouting siska called for her husband, leading Keanu into the house.

Rian who heard his wife's screams immediately came down and nagged his screaming wife.

"Oh mama, why are you so crazy." Omel Rian approached his wife.

"You see, Keanu's finally home." Being able to meet his youngest child is a special blessing for physics, especially so far Rian forbids him to meet Keanu, even though they know where and what his son is doing.

Rian turned his gaze to the figure of the man who was bowing his face standing beside his wife.

"Why are you coming home? Didn't you think we were your parents?" Rian's voice was very piercing in Kenau's heart, if it wasn't for Aura's sake, he wouldn't have come to see his father.

"There's something I want to talk about!"

"What's? You need money? Or what do you want?" Rian can immediately blow the contents of his son's head. according to him Keanu who is used to living a life of adequacy will only have one maslah, namely money.

"100 million!"

Rian raised next to his lips, as Keanu mentioned the nominal he needed.

"Are you aware, after you left this house you are no longer my son, so why did you come and ask a stranger for money!"

"I beg pah, I will follow whatever papa wants!" Keanu implored Rian. This was his last hope, his pride had already fallen, losing was not a problem.

"You should have said that a long time ago, you're just a kid who still needs parents' money. Throw away your haughty nature.You can't do anything without papa's help. You realize that now?"

"I'm sorry, I realize I was wrong, like you said I was so proud." His words held tight because of the insults his father said.

"Well, papa won't ask what you're asking for this money, which you obviously have to follow what you've decided for you."

There was nothing Keanu could do but follow what his papa would do and take a clear 100 million check before his eyes.

After getting the money, Kenau immediately returned to the hospital where his mother Aura was treated.

When he arrived at the hospital ER, Keanu had not seen Aura bahakan Ratmi's mother there.

"Bu Ratmi's already in the operating room." Answer one of the sisters.

"Have they paid the price?" Ask Kenau again.

"Yes, it's all paid off."

Keanu was surprised, he stared at the check that was in his hand, it turned out that he was losing fast. A little disappointed but still grateful.

Keanu ran in search of an opration waiting room, but when he arrived, he did not see Aura there, there was only Agus who was restless waiting for his wife who was in surgery.

"Sir, how's mom?" Keanu asked closer.

"Mother is in surgery."

"Which aura is it, sir?" Ask Keanu then. Krena Aura was unlikely to leave her mother in this condition.

But Agus just silently held back his tears, it made Keanu even more confused and also worried about Aura. He imagined bad things. But it is impossible for Agus to do something that will hurt his son.
