Mistake (A Mistake Can Bring Love)
Parangs

Inside the house of Budi. Aluna's heart pounded even faster after seeing the figure of Kalun in front of her earlier. He was still confused about how to deal with the man who was still at his doorstep.

Behind the door Aluna continued to rub her stomach into a circle, somehow her son moved more actively tonight. His kick grew stronger, as if he understood that his father was outside and asked him to open the door. But what he did was just the opposite, he put the trash he was about to throw into the kitchen. He went back into the room, locked the door tightly, not caring about Kalun waiting for him on the porch. He was still confused as to how to deal with Kalun. Aluna put her body in bed trying hard to think about it.

“Lun. Who's coming? How did Papa hear the scream?” Budi knocked on Aluna's door asking what was going on out there.

Aluna looks anxious, he again occupied his body, “Nobody Pa, only Mas Khusnul who usually sells wedang round.”

Budi who does not one hundred percent believe, is still curious about who was making a fuss. He then walked over and peeked behind the living room curtains. His eyes reddened to see the figure of a big man there. The man faced the small garden against the main door. Budi frowned, he suspected if his house was a target for thieves. Budi quickly walked towards the kitchen, taking a machete that had been sharpened every day, but never used. Only he uses it when it helps to cut the bones of the cow when Eid al-Adha arrives.

His face looked scary as Budi walked back towards the front door of his house. He opened the door plan of his house, so that the man he thought was a thief would not run away from him.

When he swung the machete in his right hand. Kalun turned to face Budi. The two men were both surprised, but the machete could not be stopped, its pointed tip right on Kalun's arm which was only dyed in a red cotton shirt. It did not take long for fresh blood to flow there, until the drops of blood came down to dirty the floor.

Budi immediately dropped his machete on the floor, his face paled when he saw blood rushing out of Kalun's arm. He did not expect that his daughter-in-law had come this late. Kalun was seen to be holding his pain by hand.

“Lun! Lunaa!” budi shouted to call Luna who was still awake.

“Take wasp oil Lun!” he continued shouting, when Aluna did not come to him.

Everyone who was inside the house was disturbed by the screams of Budi, stepmom Aluna came out with her hair that had been neatly coiled. While Aluna walked quickly to Budi who was in front of Kalun. He was shocked when he saw blood continuously dripping on the floor of his terrace.

“Aa’ why?” asked Aluna who alternately approached towards Kalun who was still busy stopping her blood by hand. Kalun did not blink staring at the face of Aluna, the woman he had longed for was in front of him. She wanted to hug him, but his hands were now covered in blood, she was afraid that he would dirty Aluna's clothes.

“We're going to the hospital!” aluna said as she pulled the uninjured right hand of Kalun.

“No need, only small wound!” refuse Kalun holding Aluna's hand.

“How small injuries? It should be stitched!”

“Which I need only your explanation!” Aluna stopped her footsteps when she heard Kalun's words, she released her hand which was on Kalun's wrist.

“Hei Lun.” Call Kalun when Aluna gets away from him.

“Go home!” throw it away while walking into the house.

Budi who heard the words of Aluna could only frown, he could not believe if his son could be that cold to the father of the child he was carrying. Budi then approached Kalun, asking Kalun to enter his house, he would treat the wounds he caused. He doesn't want to be labeled a killer because Kalun could have run out of blood because of his actions.

Kalun followed Budi's orders, at least tonight he can stay here. Budi took the P3K box, prepared to treat Kalun's hands, he himself cleaned Kalun's wounds, responsible for all his actions.

“Why are you visiting not going to knock on the door all right! Good thing I didn't cut your head off! I thought you were a thief!” maki Budi while cleaning the blood on Kalun's arm.

Kalun only smiled faintly, not listening too much to his in-laws. He kept thinking about his wife who didn't want to meet him.

“I actually hate you, why are you only coming now! You let my son go through it on his own, nauseous himself, cravings himself. And you know I go around town almost every night to get what she wants, you throw it away when she's pregnant! Don't imagine your stupidity! As the man who raised her my heart ached. Is that as low as my daughter? Until she was dumped while pregnant!”

“Pa. Don't get me wrong!”

“Already. No need to explain to me!” budi said while bandaging bandages in Kalun's hands.

“It looks like I allowed you to approach him even, he won't want to be with you!” he continued while smiling wickedly towards Kalun.

“Sleep here! I'm sure she won't open her bedroom door!” terang Budi while walking to leave Kalun. She then went inside her room to get her pillows and blankets for Kalun, asking him to sleep on the living room sofa.

While in the room, Aluna was still awake. Flipping through his body looking for the most comfortable position for him to fall asleep, the age of the womb that has 7 months makes it more difficult to breathe. Not only that, he was also thinking about the wound on Kalun's arm. Move the baby more active, making him have to walk back and forth to the bathroom. He remembered what the doctor's message was that forbid him to hold urine because he would be prone to UTIs.

As he walked into the bathroom, he kept glancing towards Kalun who was sleeping on the living room sofa, the man looked soundly under the batik blanket covering his body, which he had covered, she ignored him and went into the bathroom outside her room. Finished from the bathroom, his eyes glanced back at the chair again, but Kalun was not there. Aluna decides to walk towards the living room, presses the light switch and looks for Kalun.

After not finding Kalun in the living room. He simply shook his head and smiled incisively towards Kalun's pillow. He decided to sit there for a while, inhaling the scent of Kalun that was still left behind. Her eyes closed, feeling the scent of her husband, Aluna's lips pulled upwards as the baby inside her stomach responded with a loud kick in her stomach.

Feeling wrong with his actions, he immediately ended it, opened his eyes and moved from Kalun's used sofa. She felt sleepy and would not think of her husband anymore.

Aluna walked towards the room, slowly opening the door of her room. He walked towards the bed with his eyes closed due to drowsiness that could not be held, Aluna lay her body on the Queen size bed.

“Didn't you miss me?”

Aluna's eyes suddenly shone when she heard Kalun's voice, her sleepiness instantly evaporating as she received a warm embrace from behind her body.

“Why are you here!” aluna said a little loudly.

“In the cold outside, while the blanket that Papa-in-law gave me was very thin, so it's better that I'm here with you.”

“But I don't want you here!” sahut Aluna's.

“Really?” kalun said while gently palpating Aluna's stomach, “What if our future child wants me to stay here!”

“That's impossible, how could you say that, after you could sign the divorce papers!”

“Do you not want to listen to my explanation!”

“Ngak. I've decided after this child is born, I will submit the lawsuit to the Department of Religion.”

“Then what about me? How can I live my next life?” Kalun kept his hand away from Aluna's stomach. He put his hands under his head in place of a pillow.

“Today you are fine living without us! It will be like that later!” replied Aluna who changed her position to supine. He pulled out his blanket to cover his petis hanging exposed.

Kalun closed his eyes, trying to explain everything to Aluna about the punishment he received while in prison.

“How can you say that? I even flew straight to Solo after my freedom day this morning!” kalun said while carrying Aluna face towards him.
