I'M A STATUE FOR YOU
MURDER

Brayen continued dragging Alena to the hall building where the art scene was held. Alena who had seen the other side of Brayen was afraid and did not dare to refuse anything Brayen did.

Alena half ran to compensate for Brayen's long footsteps.

"Lake in." Brayen pointed at a special door for participants to go up on stage with his chin.

"Prophe." Alena whined, she was so embarrassed, she did want to acknowledge her marital status but since Rio shot her in front of so many people, it was certain that people would blaspheme her after this.

"INCLUDE." Brayen said in a firm tone, his emotions have not subsided. Brayen's face looks scary in Alena's eyes, she doesn't like Brayen like this.

"But Bang I'm ashamed. I just moved to college."

"If you were honest from the beginning, it wouldn't be like this. It all started with your mistake. Now account. Better to be honest even if it feels bitter. Than lying even if it's sweet." As Alena remained unmoved Brayen finally dragged Alena's hand, entering the room towards the stage.

The atmosphere that had been violent due to the Sorrows of the students and students now turned silent as Alena and Brayen held hands on the stage.

All the women's eyes were fixed on Brayen, they were all fascinated to see Brayen's figure, his good looks and prowess hypnotizing every eye that looked.

The rector and dean, who saw Brayen coming, went up on stage and bowed respectfully to Brayen. Brayen stared fixedly at the faces of the students who were in front of him, while Alena just looked down with her legs trembling because she had stage fright.

"Children give a standing ovation to Mr. Brayen, he is the donor who made the largest donation on our campus." Said the Rector of the campus.

"Prok prok prok prok prok..." Everyone applauded Brayen. Brayen raised his open palm upwards, instantly becoming desolate.

"Include my name Brayen and the beautiful woman beside me is my beloved wife. Sorry if we didn't announce our wedding. Our wedding was simple. We're planning to announce our wedding after Alena graduates from college at the same time with her reception."

"Eeh, Brother turned out to have a purpose to get there." Alena looked up at her husband's face.

"I'm sorry for the consequences of our insecurities until there's some discomfort here." Everyone was surprised to hear Brayen's statement, they all did not expect that Alena could be married by a respected person like Brayen.

"I hope that in the future my wife can study comfortably here. BECAUSE SHE'S MY WIFE." Brayen said in a threatening tone that was emphasized because he did not want after this incident Alena to be humiliated on her campus.

"That's enough, thank you." Then Brayen shook hands with the Rector and Dean. And pulled the hand of Alena who was standing next to him and got off the stage.

In Brayen's car still wearing a cold face, Alena who was still afraid of Brayen repeatedly swallowed her saliva. Brayen's figure looks scary in Alena's eyes, the atmosphere in the car looks gripping for Alena. Alena was afraid that Brayen would punish her, in Alena's heart komat Kamit read the prayer. Along the way, the two were silent.

Brayen parked his car carelessly, he circled the car, opened the car door and pulled Alena's hand. Brayen brought Alena into the room.

Brayen stood face-to-face staring at Alena, who looked down in fear sitting on the side of the bed.

"There's something you want to explain to Alena."

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Said Alena who was still lowered, she was very afraid of Brayen. The shadow of Brayen beating Rio was still lingering in Alena's memory.

"Next think of cause and effect before speaking and acting."

"Yes." Yeah." Alena answered with a tight breath.

"Pondering all your mistakes." Said Brayen who then left Alena.

After Brayen closed the door, Alena's cries began to break. He huddled into the blanket, he was crying.

"I know I'm wrong but don't you know that today's events took me a huge hit. What else Rio almost harassed me. Why don't you sympathize with me. Why are you being cold to me." Alena grumbled in the blanket, she was embarrassed, her heart ached, what else with Brayen's cold demeanor.

"I told you last night that I wanted to confess to my wedding today, how did I know that Rio would shoot me in front of a lot of people. How do I know that Rio will harass me. Hikk..." Alena keeps crying, Alena doesn't know Brayen now. Brayen looks like a monster when he's angry.

"Why did you dump me in the orphanage?..." Arya said with a sad face, full of judgment. It was as if a thousand chunks of rock had been raining down on him during life. It was as if he was blaming the veiled woman who had been putting the burden of life on him all along.

"Mom knows, I suffered so much without my parents in the orphanage. I feel isolated... I feel ostracized... My friends make fun of me, 'cause I don't have parents..."

"I went through many days with much suffering, Mom. Why would you leave me at the orphanage?...." Arya spoke in a tone that should be possible. Arya reveals what Brayen felt as a child, until he became a cold man and did not want to know love. Luckily, a mistake unites Brayen and Alena in a holy marriage.

Arya's sad face that made the veiled woman successfully melted and touched, the woman felt guilty Arya.

The veiled woman began to approach Arya, she sat in front of Arya looking at that face fixedly.

"Who are you son of and where did you get that ring?..." Said the veiled woman. Arya could see the sadness and sorrow in the eyes of the woman. His eyes were so sincere.

"This ring I got from Mother's orphanage, she said she found me in the orphanage along with this ring." Arya said then Arya reached into her pants pocket. "And this bracelet, too." Arya.

"So the beautiful woman who met in the supermarket with me and wore this bracelet who?..."

"She's my wife."

"Please tell me what really happened, who am I? I know, this ring isn't just any ring."

The veiled woman seemed to be thinking about something, wondering if she should tell everything to someone she just met.

"Mother, say something don't shut up." Arya started to push him.

Suddenly the veiled woman cried hysterically and hugged him tightly. Arya did not expect that woman would behave like this. Arya begins to empathize.

"I miss you so much my son, I had to leave you to that woman, all that I did for your safety."

"Deg." Arya's heart was beating, she was shocked by the statement the woman said. "Son, so it's true this woman is Brayen's mother." Khasanuci was as surprised as Brayen, Arya and Khasanuci looked at each other, between believing and not believing.

"What do you mean, Mom?"

"Explain to me, I don't understand." The woman came back crying in Arya's arms.

Arya let the woman cry, Arya knew the woman had a heavy burden in her life all along. Arya let the woman let out all complaints and also her suffering in the arms of Arya.

"I'm sorry Mom. I deliberately threw you away because I didn't want them to kill you like they killed your father." The woman's crying became.

"WHO? WHO'S WHO? WHO KILLED BRAYEN'S FATHER." Arya shouted very loudly, she was furious at the expression of the woman. Arya took off her embrace and held both of the woman's shoulders. Arya's face looks angry.
