NAURA'S SECRET BEHIND THE PRISON BARS
The Debate Between Affandi and Ayuni

Affandi got out of Kemal's house at 11. The afternoon began to reveal his nose. Until the hot sun starts to sting considering the dry season that has come.

"Mas Affandi!"

Affandi looked back. Where the voice calls his name.

Ayuni Kartika.

The woman was 8 years older than him and gave something to him. A thin white envelope.

"What is this, ma'am?"

"Please! Let Naura stand her way!"

"What does this mean? Ma'am..... is bribing me? You're afraid that you might also be the prime suspect behind Fendy's murder?"

Pallid face Ayuni immediately. His lawyer Naura was not a lawyer.

Although he is still quite young, although Naura does not directly hire him as her legal representative but with the help of the government.

It turns out that Affandi Rajata's performance should not be underestimated by him. Affandi has been able to open the dark veil that Ayuni has been closing tightly.

Spread out instantly a twinkle of sadness in her beautiful eyes. Falling scattered wetting both sides of his thin cheeks.

Affandi asked him to speak with four eyes.

Ayuni obeyed the young lawyer who got into Affandi's car after looking left and back at the conditions around Kemal's house.

...............

Affandi ordered two cups of cappucino coffee and a pizza pan as a friend of his coffee snack at the cafe waiter.

Ayuni looked down not daring to stare. From then on his eyes were incessantly letting out his melt.

"What does this mean, ma'am?" ask Affan after he thought the atmosphere began to be conducive.

"I didn't mean to bribe you. But that, is.check worth 20 million."

"For what? For Naura?... What do you mean, I'm giving it to Naura?"

"Mom not so!" Ayuni stammered in denial.

"Then?"

"I mean,... Naura will already be fully responsible for the murder of Fendy. And... never mind, do not look for any more fabricated evidence that will make this legal process widen, I mean!"

"Is that? And then let my brother bear it all by himself while I wash my hands?"

"A ee, isn't it.not so."

"Then? Ma'am threatened Naura to keep quiet and confessed that she alone committed the murder? Then mbak himself? Why mbak? Wouldn't you love your sister who's just that one?"

Ayuni sobbed in tears. It was regretful but unfortunately too late. Rice has become porridge.

"Why did I do all this? Why?"

"Because I love Kemal. And I, am blind jealous of Naura!"

Affan held his breath for a moment in shock.

So, Ayuni did this not out of sympathy for Naura who had cheated on Fendy so much that she became anxious and killed her sister-in-law?! Wow... hhhh.., the more interesting it turns out! And, hmmmmm.I was wrong apparently!

"Frequently visit Naura. Kemal even told me about going to the Night Market Entertainment Place with Naura. And, and I'm hot to hear it. Because, since the two met again after so many years,....Kemal no longer take me for a night out even if it's just looking for food!"

Ayuni opened all the secrets of her heart. Including the incident that happened to Fendy was actually just an 'accident' only.

Because he didn't really mean to kill Fendy. He even shouted for Fendy to be taken to the hospital immediately.

But it turns out, the words of Fendy who continued to corner him about to report to the police made Ayuni increasingly confused and dark in the eyes. Until several times the kitchen knife belonging to Naura stuck again in Fendy's chest.

Ayuni also recounted her suffering for a dozen years living like a prisoner of war.

Ayuni quietly heard Affan's speech after a long time just listening and being a loyal listener.

"How you are, Ma'am! Your sister endured all her suffering alone to keep your good name. Your sister is silent a thousand languages, covering this up for your love. But you, mbak!.... For your own sake and the desire of***** your pent-up that you're hurting again your own little brother who has nothing wrong at all!"

"I love him! Very loving because she's my only sister!"

"But the way you 'get rid of him' makes me judge you low!"

"You know what about me and Naura?!? You've only known Naura for a month. And that's because you're his lawyer! I can pay you double so you can keep your silence and just keep doing your job in a relaxed manner without having to go to and fro looking for evidence!"

Prok prok prok prok prok prok prok prok prok prok.

Affandi cheering, clapping.

"Great!... You're great Ayuni!"

Ayuni just swallowed her saliva staring at the young and handsome face of Naura's lawyer.

"You're so relaxed saying that, while your sister struggles desperately to fight for her dead life in a holding cell for your sake! Where's your conscience, mbak? Are you glad your sister's behind bars now?"

"Where might I be happy to see him at the diesel! But it's his own fault. Suppose they had followed my words and taken Fendy to the hospital, her life would have been saved!"

"Are you able to sleep well after 8 stabbing Fendy? Is the demon Fendy not wandering around looking for you?"

Ayuni's eyes are rounded. Vibrating lips. I want to talk but I can't. Because actually he still continues to dream strange and creepy even though it is not life-threatening let alone his life.

"You feel like you're a persecuted woman? You envy your own sister? Even to the point of stabbing a knife into Naura's body if Fendy doesn't become a shield!"

"I just pretended to do that to Naura! Naura knows, I can't afford to commit a crime much less harm physically. It's just a threat! But Fendy who just got home from work witnessed it as if I was really going to kill Naura!"

"Did Kemal know you loved him?"

"No. Kemal can't know. He cannot know my heart!"

"Why? If you're really in love, why don't you be frank with your stepdaughter about how you feel about her? Why mbak?"

"Because I was afraid, afraid that Kemal would feel uncomfortable and stay away from me. I. don't want any of that to happen! I was just trying to stay by his father's side now without any coercion because of God's punishment!

Me, I survived because Kemal was also standing next to me. Help me and Lyora in everything!"

"Tragically your love, ma'am!"

"Let me be a victim of the injustice of my family. Kemal's origin is always with me. Accompany us until the end!"

"For what? As mother and child? Or...as a dark lover? Or.. as an unregarded lover? Hehehe.... Stupidity bothered you to be the bad guy! You are evil because you have sacrificed your own sister for your very little happiness!"

Affandi laughed seeing Ayuni daydreaming about her words.

"Why do I say very little happiness? Because you're the only one who harbors love, and Kemal doesn't. Kemal just does not know how you feel about him. It's sliced!!! Hehehehe. and only a fool would do something like you!"

"Is it wrong that I want love and happiness in my life too, lawyer sir?"

"Not wrong. There is no harm in wanting love and happiness. Because it is the right of every human being! What's wrong is the way you got it, ma'am!"

"Well what should I be like? Must how? Hik hik hicks...."

"Very unfortunate! Even though you're eight years older than Naura, you're ten years younger than your sister!"

"You're defending Naura so much! What's going on between you guys? What's.... Naura told you to attack me?"

"Originally you know, Mother! Your sister is desperately defending you! He always ignored me. He never mentioned your name let alone vilified you. Let alone to attack you, saying that it was you who thrust the knife into the breast of her own husband she never threw.

But you, Ma'am! You still grieve and think evil to the sister who loves you so sincerely! Hhh.... You don't deserve to have a golden-hearted sister!"

Affandi's upset. He left Ayuni alone in the quiet cafe with an envelope containing the check she had handed to him.

And there remained a man who wept alone. Regretting that in the end, it was she herself who had unmasked herself.
