“Mas Kala, busy again? Aira peeper chat.”
He lifted the pillow that covered half his face. Ever since hearing Thoriq's words, he had been a little more silent and withdrawn. Even Liam did not manage to restore Kala's cheer as usual.
Her sister hesitated to enter the room looking at Kala's flat face alone.
Finally Kala sat down. “Sini, Deck.”
“Mas ... Aira confused how to do?”
“I too, Ai. I didn't think Buna was that miserable. I hate you, Mama you, and Aya. Really. Mas angry up to ubun-ubun.”
“Mas want to hate Aira?” His eyes were teary, his voice was trembling.
“Had. You cause Aya can't be fair with Buna.”
“No, Kala. Don't hate Aira. Hate aja Aya who has weakly agreed to marry Mama Aira. Aya sincere. Aira knew nothing. Please Kala, you must remain dear and take care of Aira, yes, Nak.”
Thoriq was suddenly already standing in the doorway, shocked to hear his son's words.
With cynical Kala replied, “Kala does not want to see Aya. Kala really wants to go home. But Kala knew that coming home now must be Buna confused. But Kala is grateful that Buna left Aya so she could meet Daddy who never hurt Buna in the least. With Daddy, Buna is happy.”
Kala left Thoriq and Aira who were staring at her back with a blank look.
Half ran Kala down the stairs and out of his father's house. Too much of an outpouring of past emotions that a fourteen-year-old should digest.
Kala walked to the park and sat on the swing. Hapeya.
“Assalamualaykum, Buna, what's new?” His mouth with a trembling voice.
“Waalaykumussalam, Buna well, dear. When why?”
“Aya Line Buna phone?” Kala grunted in annoyance.
“No, but feeling Buna has been a few days is not good.”
“Buna, now Kala knows the reason why Buna left Aya. Turns out Aya is evil, Mama Aira is also evil.”
Qiara sighed, she saw a look of disappointment in her son's eyes. He knew that the events of the night would be revealed.
“That's a very painful thing for Buna. But over time, Buna. Not easy, Kala, but Buna still move on.”
“That's Hanna Hanna's the one who kidnapped me, right?”
“Tante Hanna. Kala, even though he had done no good, but Aunt Hanna is much older so it must be polite, yes Nak.”
“For what courtesy same criminals?”
“Because Buna taught you to be polite to everyone. Especially the older ones. Kala, maybe this is all too complicated for you. Salah Buna and Aya did not tell her before.”
“No! Buna is wrong. Aya is wrong. Hate Aya!”
“Kala, Buna just don't hate the same Aya. Please, don't make anger take hold of you. This abis Kala prayers then Istighfar a lot. Regarding Aya, try to forgive. You believe in destiny, right? Means that Buna's destiny to mate with Aya is only short. And thank God now Buna with Daddy who loves Buna very much. Forgive Aya, Kala ..”
Qiara knew her son was still angry, free to talk to but there was an attitude that still had to be gently straightened.
“Sholat and istighfar yes, dear. And just like Aira, she's just like you. Don't blame Aunt Hanna's actions on Aira,”.
Kala again began to snort, but Qiara's voice penetrated into his heart and mind.
“When the user comes home ..”
“Go home if we want. Must be very confused Kala there ya.”
“Anged and disappointed, Buna. Kala thought Buna split up with Aya because of a regular divorce. But do not think that Aya was once KDRT with Buna.”
Thoriq who followed Kala heard his son's words to feel very sick.
“Boy and child Buna. Kala did not accept Aya used to be sick with Buna. Moreover, the Aira, must be the same as his Mama.”
“Kalandra! You don't talk about it. Yes, Aya was wrong, even Buna did not want to remember the incident. But it's already happened. Being angry doesn't change anything. It will just stain your heart. And Aira, she really doesn't know her mother's friend ..”
“He has started his mother's defense, kok.” Suluk Kala fiery.
“Sama like you bela Buna. Baby, let it pass. Buna forgave Aya and Hanna. You try too, yeah. Buna is glad you took Buna. But Aya is your father.”
Kala wiped away her falling tears.
“Kala, since Aya knows you are her son, she always tries to be there for you. Even though we live far apart, through Daddy, Aya always asks about your development. Every day, my dear. Buna knows because Daddy told me. Do you remember when you were sick? Every hour I ask. Even going to London. Aya dear Kala, Nak.”
Qiara looked at Kala gently, she knew her son was starting to calm down.
“Honey, this month, Aya looks very happy. Because you and Aira are with him. Continue to be Aya's son and sister to Aira.”
“Buna ..”
“Now Kala is home. Prayer of two rakaats, please calmness and tenderness of heart.”
“Kala does not want to go home, Kala want to pray in the mosque just across the park, kok.”
“Yes, be careful, take care of yourself Kala. Oya, which Liam?”
“I did not see Liam from earlier, I will look for. Buna .. Kala very dear to Buna. Kala will take care of Buna forever.”
Qiara's eyes warmed. “Buna loves you too. That's fine, yeah, honey. The video call was hopefully possible, right? Looks like there's a hundredth world war under.”
Kala chuckled while drying her tear-soaked face, “Triplets?”
“Who else .. Greetings to Aya and Aira, bye, Darling.”
“Bye, Buna.”
Kala was still sitting on the swing. Thoriq did not approach him. He heard all the conversations Kala and her mother had. Before long Kala left the park to the mosque.
Thoriq hoped Kala would forgive him. Losing Qiara was the toughest thing that would be borne for a lifetime. It doesn't feel good if Kala is hostile to him.
After seeing Kala enter the mosque, Thoriq returned home to see the state of Aira who was also very sad.

“Leasin! Diii! Please.”
Aira shouted, both of her hands were gripped by two thugs who had somehow appeared from nowhere.
“Cute come!”
“No! Please!”
His feet kicked back and forth but instead made the two thugs laugh even more and pulled him towards the bush.
Aira continued to fight, but her strength was not comparable.
Suddenly one of the thugs fell.
Aira immediately freed herself. He saw Liam holding the wood hitting the thug who now woke up with angry eyes.
“Aira, run home!”
Aira ran away from Liam who was now fighting two people. Liam who used to be in karate fought fiercely. Although I finally faced the village thugs who issued sharp weapons.
While running, Aira looked back. Liam complained because his hand was hit by a knife. Spontaneous Aira turned around taking the stone and twig. The young princess was undaunted let alone seeing Liam's clothes stained with blood.
With all his strength he threw the thug towards the head. One stone on target. Liam, who saw Aira back to help her, now sets up a body to protect Aira.
Aira's strong hand held the twig and then aimed at the thugs.
“Go! Go don't disturb us.”
The thug was about to fight back when he saw a group of residents coming closer. Apparently someone saw the incident and called for reinforcements.
Both of them were riding parked motorcycles. Some of the residents chased while others helped Liam.
“Ai, did they hurt you?” Liam asked softly to endure the pain.
“No, I’m fine. You are bleeding.”
Aira took off the veil because inside it was wearing the inner. Then tie Liam's hands to stop the bleeding.
“You're from Mr. Thoriq's house, right? We're escorting. We have to report that the thugs are getting bolder. Yesterday his son Bu Wulan got a todong also here.”
While picking at Liam who was staggering because of his wound was bleeding a lot, one of the helpful fathers tried to contact Thoriq.
From a distance Thoriq saw Liam and Aira with the villagers behind.
“Liam, Aira!”
“Aya!”
Thoriq hugged Aira, then approached Liam who looked pale.
“Hey Uncle, cool, eh? Got hurt saving a girl ..” Didn't have time to continue his sentence Liam fell unconscious.
“Liam!” Aira and Thoriq shouted.
Towards the hospital they see Kala.
“Mas, Liam fainted.”
I got into the car sitting in the back.
“Liam, Liam, what happened? Why is he bleeding.”
“Aira was attacked by thugs and Liam helped. Liam got sabet knife.”
“Liam hold on, please .. please. Aya, fast.”
Upon arrival at the hospital, the ER doctor immediately handled Liam. Thoriq called Devan.
The incision on Liam's hand hit a large vein. Fortunately Aira rebelled so strongly that Liam did not bleed more.
Aira stood pensively. His body was shaking violently.
“Adek ..”
Kala hugged her sister. Aira was crying on her brother's shoulder.
“Salah Aira, Mas. It's all Aira's fault. I am not useful. Make it hard all. Aira hates herself Aira. I wish I’ve never been born.”
“Sshh sssh .. Everything will be alright.”
Kala stroked the back of his sister's head that was still crying. He led Aira to sit on the waiting bench, leaving her shoulder to lean on.
“Dek, Istighfar yes, while praying Liam can survive.”
Aira nodded, her hands still tightly hugging her brother. Kala continued to stroke and calm her sister. His lips chanted a prayer sentence for Liam's safety.
In Kala's heart was scared to death, but he tried to cover for his sister. Liam's face was so pale, his body was cold.
Thoriq out. “Kala, titip Aira yes. Liam needs a donor. Aya will go to PMI first as a condition Liam can get blood.”
“Ai, same as Mas Kala. Kabarin Aya.”
Both nod. Thoriq left his children with anxious faces. Liam is still not out of critical condition.
Kala and Aira continued to look at the ER door, waiting for anyone to tell them about Liam. Kala saw his sister's hand still trembling then grasped it.
“Bismillah all good,” he said calming Aira. Her sister nodded.
“Mas, sorry Aira because it turns out the presence of Aira makes Buna and Aya part. Sorry also because Mama Aira is evil with Buna and Mas.”
“Ssssh, don't think about it, Ai. As Buna said, it is like this destiny was written for us. All we have to do is be sincere and keep living it well.”
“Mas, don't hate Aira..”
Kala dried up the tears flowing down Aira's cheeks with her index back.
“You are his sister Mas. Sorry Mas also, yes, my attitude was rude to you. These few days Mas also disappointed with Aya and angry at you.”
“Mas and Buna deserve to be angry.”
“Buna who has the right to be angry. But even Buna said she forgave Aya.”
“I didn't expect my Mom to be so bad. Good thing I don't live with him anymore.”
“Hey hey .. how is Aunt Hanna your mother. You still have to be respectful,” between Kala who remembers Bunanya's advice.
“I don't remember what Mom's face was like. If it's Buna, from childhood I know. You know, Aya still keeps all of Buna's photos. There are photos of them on the beach that Aya always looks at before going to bed. I also often see Aya shed tears after reading a letter from Buna.”
Kala's eyes warmed. He also felt how his father was covering up the love for Buna.
“Aya has received punishment for his actions, Mas. Aya can't live with Buna, the only woman she loves. On the other hand, I am sad and sad about my Mama who lives in the shadow of Buna.”
“We can't possibly understand what they're feeling, Dek. But obviously from this it's all me and you. We're brothers. We will take care of you, even if we are far apart. Like Aya who also always take care of Mas.”
The ER door opens.
“Family Liam Patrick Donavy.”
“We, our sisters.” Kala and Aira stood closer to the sister.
“Patients are now being operated on to close wounds in blood vessels. Please wait in front of the operating room of the second floor.”
After saying thank you, the brothers headed to the second floor. Kala told Thoriq who was still in PMI. Also called Devan who apparently monitored through one of the doctors at the hospital.
Hape Kala reads, “Buna, assalamualaykum.”
“Waalaykumussalam, Buna has been updated about Liam. How about Aira? Aira you're okay, son? Auntie heard that Liam again nolongin you.”
Aira choked, guilt re-crawled her heart. “Iya, sorry Aunt.”
“Loh, not your fault. So what's the story?”
“Aira was going to nyusulin Mas. Aira thought Mas Kala was into the garden behind. There is indeed a lonely road, Aira confronted by thugs. Aira ... Aira was pulled into the bushes, thank God Liam came and helped. Sorry Aira, Aunt.”
Qiara and Kala looked at Aira in horror.
“Astaghfirullah, Aira. They .... they had time .. sickin you?”
“Ngak, Aunt. Thank God there is Liam, Auntie. He hits one thug, then tells Aira to run. Turns out the thugs had knives.”
“When check if your sister has any injuries,” command Qiara with an anxious look.
Kala flicked Aira's long arm and saw the traces of the grip of the two thugs earlier.
Devan is now on screen with Qiara. He was also surprised to see bruises, meaning that the thugs were gripping very firmly.
“Kala, you take Aira to the ER, ask to apply the same coolant ointment. Then have them check if there are any injuries in other parts.”
“Aira is okay, Uncle. Really. Earlier, Aira even had to throw the plume using a stone and hit the head. Keep leaking his head. Sukurin!”
Kala laughed loudly and embraced her sister proudly.
“Adek me.”
“Kalandra!” Qiara was anxious with Kala's behavior instead of anxious even proud.
“That dong, Dek, can volunteer. It's me who's educated, from my small super hero story checkokin. Abby also I taught you not to be a girl meme-menye.”
“Kalandra Akira Son Thoriq!”
Qiara desperately saw Kala and Aira instead tos with pride.
“Yes already, you wait in front of the operating room, later Daddy asks Aya you guys buy a cold ointment for Aira's hands. Kalandra, take care of Aira, promise?”
Kala held her embrace to his sister's shoulder. “In shaa Allah, promise.”
Aira was moved and immediately hugged Kala.
“Makasi Mas.“
After ending the video call, Kala and Aira sat down waiting for Liam. Before long Thoriq came and immediately hugged Aira.
“Aira, are you okay? Uncle Devan was on the phone Aya.”
“I’m fine Aya. But still like to be afraid if the incident happened earlier. Fortunately there is Mas Kala who makes Aira calm.”
Thoriq embraces his two children peeling their heads one by one.
“Aya what the heck, shy tau ..” Said Kala but did not also break his father's hand.
“Holden his shame, Aya dear to you both.”
“Family patient Liam ..” Call a doctor from the operating room door.
Thoriq, Kala, and Aira immediately approached the young doctor.
“Liam has passed the critical period. The operation was successful now the patient is already in the recovery room.”
“Alhamdulillah ..” Three fathers and sons said in unison.
“Oya, is Adek named Aira?”
Raised Aira eyebrows, “Betul, Doctor. What's up?”
“All throughout the operation the patient keeps calling your name.”
Aira's face turned a dead red. “Ooh it was probably because earlier Liam saved me,” he replied quickly.
“Alright, later the nurse will tell if Liam can be visited. Doctor Sonny inside has also been in contact with Doctor Devan in London. I didn't expect to be on the team that operated on Doctor Devan's son. He is a famous Doctor especially for baby tube.” method
“Daddy I was, Doctor. Later I also want to be a Doctor like Daddy,” said Kala proud.
“Hopefully smoothly, well, I say goodbye first.” The young doctor left Thoriq and his children who were now able to breathe a sigh of relief.
