Ode To Latitude
Statement Letter

Prita screams an oath after receiving a call from an unknown person, while Tara can only resign. The number he had been trying to call was out of reach, frustrating him.

“Prit, how nih” said Tara weld, her eyes glazed.

“Why the hell do you not stop making it?” yell Prita.

Since yesterday Tara's phone was terrorized by an online loan debt collector. A loan of 10 million with a guarantee of Tara's personal information. The debt collector not only contacted Tara's number but also Prita's number. They threatened to spread Tara's personal information.

It is no secret that the next step of the debt collector and crew pinjol will contact Tara and pretend to borrow money from his acquaintances. If until the management of the artist knows and propagates everywhere can be longer business.

“Utang lo who yesterday has not paid off, your payment has not gone down. The new lo drama, still in the process of reading the script, has not yet reached the shooting stage. What will be your future if your work only pay off debt lo” Prita's emotions explode uncontrollably.

“Yuk Police report, this is extortion of his name. Not you who borrowed, why do you have to pay off” said Prita prepared to drag Tara to the police station.

“Prit, anyway she nyokap I” Tara started crying.

A glimpse of the past swirled in his mind. Every time Tara refuses Airin's request, she always tells him that Tara must thank him for raising her when her biological father refuses to take responsibility.

”You should be grateful that mom wants to take care of you! if not, you cannot be what you are today. So the child must know the return of gratitude, do not be an ungodly child, have been raised even do not know the return of gratitude!”

Those words flashed in his mind, all the hard work he had given his mama had instantly run out without a trace. His mother likes to owe, savant tens of millions with socialites to hire brondong. Tara knows her mother's behavior but chooses to close her eyes. It was a form of thanks Tara to Airin for taking care of her.

“Mah, I no longer have any money. The money I gave to my mom yesterday, I owe. I have not paid off the same car installments ma” apartment said Tara gave understanding to her mother.

“you can ask your boyfriend or you can sell yourself to rich producers” said Airin indifferently.

Every time they quarreled, that was the sentence his mother always said. For the sake of her lifestyle Tara tried to save. Not using a credit card, he had to think twice about eating out or buying luxury items. Tara as much as possible to take the time to cook or monthly catering with a regular menu to be more efficient.

“Total interest has been 30 million” said Prita did not believe. Prita had just negotiated with the debt collector they refused to delay the payment.

Tara lost her mind, with embarrassment mixed with nervousness she called Lintang. The latitude is at home. He got two days off after returning from a European tour.

“Halo” greet Latitude firmly.

...*****...

Tara, Prita, and Lintang sit in a cafe that looks quiet. Tara wearing glasses, a hat, and a black mask hid her chaotic appearance.

Lintang felt sorry to hear Tara's story. Lintang has never seen Tara. If only Tara was not much drama and possessive maybe Lintang can survive with her. Without many conditions, Lintang loaned the money and said Tara could return the money anytime the most important problem pinjol must be quickly resolved.

Tara was grateful that Lintang did not ask this as she told her about the problem. He handed Prita a paycheck. Prita asks him to rest while he goes to take care of the pinjol, with the spirit of Prita to the legal staff room in his management office.

“Ikut I bentar” said Prita pulled the arm of Clinton one of the legal staff who was smoking.

“Apaan anyway!” clintess tepis while fixing her crumpled coat sleeves.

“Gue need help lo, cepet aja mumpung hours rest” invite Prita.

Clinton ignored Prita's invitation while exhaling cigarette smoke to enjoy the view of Jakarta in the scorching afternoon.

Anyelin was a fellow legal staff member who Clinton secretly assessed. Anyelin already had a girlfriend and famously firm, Clinton's guts shrieked before expressing her feelings.

Clinton ignored Prita's threats.

“Anyelinnnn, Clinton save your photo buttoned pants kebuka” shouted Prita.

Clinton shut Prita's mouth. He dyed left right intended to clarify to Anyelin if Prita originally spoke. Thankfully, there was no one there.

“Gue Just training, I say it's” said Prita ignorant to see the panic on Clinton's face.

“Whisper lo ya” hardik Clinton.

“Help what, game!” clinton was angry.

Prita gladly told her purpose and purpose. Prita, Clinton, and two bodyguards headed to one of the city's most famous karaoke venues. Arriving at the front door of the karaoke room, the four people looked at each other and nodded as if they knew what to do afterwards.

Prita opened the door of the room. A bodyguard stood guard outside while the other one went in with Prita and Clinton. Airin who was singing accompanied by the brondong looked surprised to see Prita appear.

“Good yes, the child is busy looking for loan honorable lady Airin is busy with the brondong” said Prita, next to his eyebrows raised. A look of disdain was clearly drawn on his face.

“Exit y'all” whispered Airin to his brondongnya.

“Ngapain lo here” asked Airin looking at the three people were upset.

“I came bring lawyer” Prita gave code to Clinton.

“You were charged with extortion and fraud to our client and talent management artist, Tara Widuri” Clinton said coldly.

Clinton described the article and the losses Airin had to pay to management and the police related to the article that ensnared him. Airin who usually nyolot every meet Prita, silent a thousand languages. His face was agitated and fearful, he did not expect the management to act this far.

“Pinjol where esteemed mistress Airin owes, contact our management office” Clinton asserted.

“Please madam, sign this agreement letter on stamp duty if the case is repeated no apologies to the mistress, soon we will terminate the contract unilaterally and we will ensure that the lady will be jailed and pay the loss to our management.

Airin clenched his jaws, his teeth clashing. His blood was boiling yet he could not argue. If they do not work and are thrown into prison, their fields of money will perish and they cannot live well. The management of the artist who overshadowed Tara also had a lot of restraints on the police who could easily process this crime.

Airin was forced to sign the statement without any intention of reading it again.

Prita smiled with satisfaction.

“Honored Lady Airin, I warn you once again. Tara has debts to the bank, to me and also management because of your ignorant lifestyle. Your attitude makes a loss to psychic talent and also a loss to management if you do not stop your habit now then you will certainly not get a monthly quota” said Prita opposing views with Airin.

To hell with his brazen attitude towards his mother Tara. She does not deserve to be called a mother, let alone be respected. Sometimes Airin needs to be aware of his attitude.

The four of them left the karaoke spot as soon as possible before lunchtime was over.
