"You're a friend of Mila's? What are you doing to get on stage like this? What's your name, Ma'am?" ask Kakra while stepping over to Tati.
"My name is Tati. Mila is one of my best friends. I was a witness to the bullying that Shae used to do to Mila when we were in High School. The three of us are both attending the same school." replied Tati while shedding crocodile tears.
Brother Cakra called Shae to go up on stage.
Shae looked at Tati with a sharp look. Shae believes that Tati must have been told by Mila to do all this to drop her name in front of many people who were watching the night of the IMPC Academy victory this season.
At that time Shae, Mila, and Tati were indeed a school even once in class, but Shae had never been close friends with Mila or Tati at that time. Shae begins to be close friends with Mila is when they both enter the same campus because they also feel from the same housing complex at that time so they are close friends. Shae and Mila's friendship grows closer when Mila offers Shae to be the lead vocalist of the band she leads. But during High School, Shae never bullied a single student at school.
"Dati is a witness to my life. The bully witness that the two Shae's faces had done to me. What a taste! I was grabbed, slapped, my head buried in a bucket of mop water, really your devil-hearted girl Shae. You did it behind everyone's back so that no other students or teachers would know the bullying you did to me!" mila said with a fiery face.
"Yes and I are his witnesses. In the past, Mila and I both did not dare to complain to the school because Shae was so dark and terrible at that time. In front of everyone at school Shae acts like an ordinary student who is innocent and does not like bullying, but in reality he is more than just a bully!" sahut Tati stared intently at Shae.
Shae cried sadly. It felt like the surrounding was dark. It felt like Shae wanted to faint and had no power to hold back what the words that Mila and Tati were accusing of. From the audience, Mr. Farhan was staring at the stage with a sad look at his good-natured son being cornered by such a crazy lie.
Mirza lifted the microphone and spoke,
"Make what allows that girl to go on stage, outrageous! Why allow him! This is a singing competition! Not a dark story in the past! This competition is so tainted because of the story of Mila's life who is said to be bullied by Shae! Just this time the IMPC Academy had something like this! Brother Cakra!" angry Brother Mirza.
Kak Indah got up and replied to Kak Mirza.
"Let everyone know who and what the character of the real hero Kak Mirza is. The evidence gets stronger with the eyewitness, Mila's friend. I was a victim of bullying too! It took a long time to recover those pitiful wounds! I can feel what Mila is feeling now." said Kak Indah.
"But this is unethical, Beautiful! The grandfinal night that should have been the most memorable night was even stained with the presence of the jutek-faced chick on stage!" firmly Kak Mirza while pointing towards Tati.
"Everything, we will return after the following messages" said Kakra as he looked at the camera.
Commercial break is done faster because the organizers will improve the atmosphere in the stadium first. A few moments later the show started again. Mila and Shae were still standing on that stage.
"Rather than this old problem being discussed continuously, on this grandfinal night, it would be nice if you two made peace. If Shae really had bullied Mila first, it would have been better if now to apologize to Mila and you made peace, to embrace each other then with that the problem will end. Your fans won't be at war anymore on social media. I see your fans on social media always making a fuss defending their respective idols" said Kak Cakra.
"Shae, do you want to apologize? You must apologize to the person you once bullied!" tell Kak Indah from the jury seat.
Brother Indah sighed,
"If you don't want to apologize then you will always be bullied by Mila's supporters, Shae. Come on, apologize? A great person is a person who has a great soul and admits his mistakes." said Kak Mila.
"Shae is so good since Kak Indah, he is a selfish and stubborn person. I'm not surprised by his attitude and his two-faced self!" sahut Mila while putting on a pretentious face melas.
Shae's heart was completely broken on this night. The vilification is hitting him and it's getting stronger. Tati's presence made things even more miserable.
"Shae let's apologize? If you do not want to apologize to Mila, I am sure your supporters will be disappointed because of your selfish attitude." said Kak Indah again.
Mila's supporters inside the studio in a frenzy force Shae to apologize to Mila.
"Let's apologize you villain! Apologize!" shout them.
Shae was getting more and more tears. Pak Farhan and Kak Mirza also cried seeing Shae's current position. While Mila, her heart was very happy because victory was in front of her eyes. With this incident Mila is sure that more and more people will hate Shae.
"Hahaha, feel you Shae! You took Clay away from me, the guy I like! Now you are broken to pieces, hahaha." - Mila.
Bu Rianti, Evi, and Rachel were very happy to see what was going on with her stepson but suddenly, the big screen behind the stage played a video, video of Tati talking on the phone with someone. Everyone stared at the screen.
"Okay Mila, but according to the agreement yes about the payment. I'll make a slander about Shae ngebully lo it will be more excited again. Actually Shae never bullied you and I know it, but for the money, I'm ready to go through your plan so that more and more people sympathize with you. I don't care about his good name. Okay, later I try to get on stage." said Tati then Tati hang up the phone.
Mila looks panicked.
"What video is this? Who recorded it?" inner Mila wondered.
"That's Tati your friend Mila. Why is he talking like that? Who recorded the video?" ask Kakra to Mila.
Mila was silent not knowing what to answer.
Seriate...
