Mistake (A Mistake Can Bring Love)
Restu Mama

Kalun thought for a moment, while repeatedly saying the word ‘maaf’ in his heart.

“I'll marry you.”

-----

The woman immediately rebelled when she heard Kalun's words, she would not be able to accept the proposal of the man she had just met, some time ago. But for a moment she thought about her stepmom's mockery on the phone, which required her to get married, whether it was from a street man or anyone else, she had to get married at that very moment, anyway, because the invitation has been spread to the top of the mountain merbabu.

Aluna was silent for a moment, stopping her movement, she stared fixedly at Kalun's face which was right down towards her.

“What did you say?”

Kalun realized from his words, he thought back to the words he had just uttered. He has now slightly loosened his embrace.

“We don't even know each other, how can you say that to me?”

Kalun who felt awkward, let go of his embrace, he turned to hold Aluna's hand, solidifying his intention to ask Aluna. He looked into Aluna's eyes which already looked so swollen.

“Yes, I-I will marry you,” said Kalun who has not switched to look into Aluna's eyes. “Do not try to end your life again.” Kalun then took off his hand. This was the first time she had physical contact with a woman, even with Kayra she never touched her after they grew up. When the fiancee is also Ella who pinned the ring on Kayra's ring finger. It was because he valued women so much, considering the many women around him.

Aluna breathed a sigh of relief. He then extended his hand.

“Thank you, for helping to save my family from embarrassment, introduce me Aluna,”. “I don't know if I don't meet you,” he continued, which ended with a crying voice because he remembered his fiancee who he could not meet again in this world.

“Don't be sad anymore, call me Kalun,” said Kalun who did not want to accept Aluna's hand.

“Where is your house, let me drive you!” said Kalun who left where Aluna stood.

Aluna was silent for a while, not yet willing to follow the footsteps of Kalun who preceded her, she felt that Kalun was not really going to marry her. He just stared at the back of Kalun who was getting away from him.

“I will not involve you in my problems,” he said softly. Then walking away from the bridge, he walked opposite from the direction Kalun walked. He walked down the road still rained down by raindrops. Aluna thought of her fate that was never as lucky as anyone else.

Kalun who just realized, that Aluna did not follow him looks panicked. He was worried that Aluna would try to end her life again. It was enough foolishness that caused others to die, lest the woman become his victim again, he then tried to find Aluna. However, he could not find the woman.

Doni, who had been searching for Kalun, finally found his master in a chaotic condition, with wet clothes and hair that was ruffled.

“Enter sir! I will definitely be angry, if you see the Father like this,” orders Doni while opening the door of his car. Kalun is seen according to the words of Doni.

“She goes Don, find her soon! I will marry her,” said Kalun who was already in the seat beside the steering wheel. Doni glared at Kalun, he did not understand what Kalun was saying at the moment.

“How about Miss Kayra?”

Kalun directly hit the dash board of the car that was driving slow. He then grabbed her rough hair.

“We think about it later, Aluna intends to end her life after knowing her fiance died, I do not want my sisters will accept the consequences of my mistake, she will be married in 5 days, and the invitations were already scattered in his village, if I hadn't bumped into his fiancee, surely this wouldn't have happened, and he would have lived happily with the one he loved, he said,” obviously Kalun on Doni who is still focusing on driving his car.

“I can't tell him if the one who hit his fiancee is me, he looks fragile different when I see him in the cafe,” he continued while staring at Doni's face.

“Say I should how?” ask Kalun to Doni. Doni was silent because he had not yet found the right solution to say.

“Tomorrow you seek him, I give you 24 hours, I will feel even more guilty if he also goes from this world!” kalun's orders have opened the car door because they have arrived home.

When Kalun entered the house, the atmosphere of the house was already quiet, all his family members had entered their respective rooms, he then slowly opened the door of his room.

Kalun flinched when he turned on his room lamp, his mother was sitting on her bed.

“Mama ..” he said as he walked closer to Ella.

“What happened to you?” asked Ella while looking at Kalun's appearance. Kalun looked at Ella, he then hugged the body of the woman in front of him. Kalun gave a sweet smile towards ella, to cover up the actual incident.

“Kalun just rained on Ma, Kalun's car broke down earlier, and Doni took too long to pick me up,” replied Kalun who did not dare to look at Ella's face.

Ella then turned Kalun's face towards him, she then looked at Kalun's eyes.

“Hey .. don't lie to Mama, a Mother always has a strong instinct, when her child is having a bad thing, be honest with Mama!” ella orders him to leave where Kalun stands to get a dry towel for Kalun.

“Go first with warm water! Mama will be waiting for you to tell me after this,” Ella's orders are directly followed by Kalun. Ella went down to the kitchen to make some warm chocolate milk for her son.

Ella stared at the clock on the wall of Kalun's room which already showed at 1am. He sat on the edge of Kalun's bed, waiting for his son to come out of the bathroom. From then on he felt worried, because Kalun had not returned home. And his gut was right that something happened to his son

“Mama hasn't slept? It's morning Ma, can't Kalun tell you tomorrow?” asked Kalun who saw Ella was still in his room.

“Mama won't be able to sleep, if you haven't told me everything!”

Seen Kalun throw his breath rough, he then sat beside Ella, silent there did not want to tell everything to Ella.

“What makes you this confused?” ask Ella directly. Kalun stared at Ella's eyes which still looked worried.

“Ka -Kalun, will marry Ma, please Mama give Kalun blessing yes ..” said Kalun who made Ella look at him in wonder.

“With Kayra? But kan-“

“Not Ma ...” Kalun immediately cut Ella's words.

Ella glared perfectly upon hearing Kalun's reply. He then asked Kalun again, with whom his son was going to marry.

“His name is Aluna,” replied Kalun after remembering the name of the woman he was going to marry.

“Mama just heard, if you have a friend whose name is Aluna? Who is he?” ella asked full of probes, she stared into Kalun's eyes, “Don't tell me you impregnated him?”

“Not like that Ma, it's purely because..” Kalun stopped his words because he was confused to answer a question from Ella. “Because Kalun loved him,” he continued with stammering.

“You cheated on Kayra? What a man are you!”

“Ma, it's not like that, anyway 5 days Kalun will marry the woman Kalun chose, and Kalun asks us all to keep this a secret from Kayra and her family.” Kalun stared at Ella in a pleading tone.

While Ella just stared at Kalun's face with question marks, she asked Kalun to explain all the events tonight, not to hear Kalun ask for blessing for his marriage. He knew very well, that from a young boy he loved Kayra, which is why he approved if Kalun was engaged to his girl first.
