REPLACEMENT MEN Season 2
RUMOURS

...Mistakes are the way God warns us to change for the better....

Maira and Dewi seemed to sit side by side. A table separates them from Bu Sapto. There were only three of them in the PIA office.

Bu Sapto's eyes stared intently at them. That graceful face was not as gentle as usual. There was not a single smile on his lips.

"I've heard unpleasant rumors among mothers" he said coldly. "I called out to these mothers because I wanted to ask for an explanation, what really happened!"

Bu Sapto turned to look at Maira. "So, is it true that the rumor I heard was Bu Janu?"

Secretly the Goddess grinned. His satisfaction saw Maira being asked in such a way by the officer's mother.

"Begging permission, mother, if you ask about me being escorted by captain Rian home, it is true" Maira replied calmly.

Bu Sapto frowned. The Goddess's grin is getting sharper.

"But it's because of the situation and the condition, mother. The ordered om picked me up, misplaced. I thought I was in Dago. Even though the night is late and the conditions of the race are also getting quieter. Captain Rian offered to take me, remembering that waiting for someone to pick me up would be longer. And since I was also very tired, I accepted the offer of captain Rian, mother."

"Digin, mother, however it remains unethical right, huh?" The goddess suddenly nodded.

Without looking at the Goddess, Bu Sapto raised her hand, making a gesture for the Goddess to be silent.

"Who's in charge of picking up Bu Janu?"

I doubt Maira answered. "Prince Haris, mother." He was afraid this would cause trouble for the princess Haris.

A moment later, Bu Sapto moved from his seat. He seemed to be calling someone. While the Goddess stared intently at Maira.

"If it's wrong, don't like black sheep. Basic ...!" His whisper in an intimidating tone.

Maira tried to be unaffected. He remained calm looking straight ahead.

"Gue knows Lo is beautiful. But beauty without balanced ethics, hmmm ... Just like bo'ong!" attack the Goddess again.

Maira's still holding on. His fingers clenched in his grasp. Resisting emotions due to the Goddess's provocation.

Not long after Ms. Sapto came back to them. He sat back in the chair. His eyes were now staring at Maira.

"Bu Janu, it is true, that as women we must understand ethics. One of them is not alone with another man. Especially at night. Hopefully this event can be a lesson for all of us."

The goddess took a glance at Maira. His lips returned.

"But in a situation like yesterday, I quite understand Bu Janu's decision to be escorted by Captain Rian."

The look on the face of the Goddess changed.

"We who should be apologizing for the impact we kind of abandoned Bu Janu. Though we asked Bu Janu for help to represent the race."

Maira breathed a sigh of relief. "Ready, mother, please forgive me if I have indeed violated the ethics of being a soldier's wife."

Bu Sapto nodded with a smile. Then he turned to the Goddess.

"What I don't understand, why did the Haris pratu who was supposed to be in charge of picking up Bu Janu was instead ordered by one of the housekeepers at the Dago guesthouse?" tanyanya sharp.

Goddess stuttered. At that time he and several other mothers were in charge of preparing a place to stay for mabes officials at the Dago guesthouse.

"Why, Mrs Andre? Is there an urgent matter that needs to trouble the Haris pratu who is on duty?"

"cn ... S-me ...my ..., permission, mother, k-we need some equipment to use in the guesthouse," replied the goddess stammering. At that time he was the one who told the princess Haris to go to Dago. Not to bring the equipment left in the lanud, but to bring one of the snacks that are happening in Bandung. Those who served at the guesthouse were bete and wanted to enjoy the food to drive away boredom.

Bu Sapto snorted in annoyance. "What equipment? That viral fried rice?" sindirnya, calling snacks ordered by Dewi and her friends that night.

The goddess said nothing more. Free to defend yourself, Ms. Sapto already knows everything.

"I hope this problem is enough to get here. There's no need for the chairman's mother and vice-chairman's mother to know. You guys finish it right here, right now!" said Bu Sapto firmly.

Elsewhere, captain Rian faces major Sapto. His face looked tense when he heard the senior say.

"It shouldn't be like that!"

"Ready, wrong, Bang!"

Major Sapto shook his head. Down to the back of his work chair. Both hands cupped in front of the face. The officer was riled up with the attitude of captain Rian which gave rise to unpleasant rumors.

"Actually, what the heck, your consideration to just want to take the soldier's wife in the middle of the night? Maybe it's nothing, but that, right, could set a bad precedent for the members?"

"Ready, Bang. Actually Serka Janu's wife was my old Junior High friend. So we already know each other. All I thought about at that time was the pity of seeing that she who was pregnant had to wait for a long invitation, while the night was getting late."

Major Sapto nodded. "Yes, already. But make sure it doesn't happen again. Keep attitude, keep ethics. Set a good example for the men!"

"Ready, Bang!"

Since that incident, both Maira and captain Rian have always avoided each other. That unpleasant rumor was enough to make them dizzy. Although the spreader of rumors and ringleader problems invitation for Maira has received a hard warning, still the bad story imprint for Maira and captain Rian.

At first Maira thought everything was done after in front of Bu Sapto, she and Dewi forgave each other. But when Janu's schedule came down, she was shocked when her husband asked her the news via video call.

"I heard bad news about you, brother!" said Janu with a flat face. His eyes look sharp on the phone screen.

"W-what, Mas?"

"About you and Captain Rian."

Maira surprised. Where did Janu know?

"What exactly happened?"

"Mas Janu knows from whom?"

"Unfortunately, I'm not from you!" janu said coldly.

Just this time Maira saw Janu as scary as how to talk and look at his face. He was worried that Janu had misunderstood.

"It's just a misunderstanding, Mom. We've finished it in front of Ms. Sapto."

"But in front of me you haven't revealed anything!"

Gluey!

Maira gulps. Is that how Janu got angry? His words were short but stern.

"Pardon me, Mom. We're all, just communicating now."

"If I hadn't asked, would you have told me too?"

Once again Maira swallowed her saliva. The woman's throat was suddenly narrow. He had no intention of telling Janu about the incident. He thinks everything has passed and does not need to be tapped again.

"Mas, why are you acting like this? What have you heard?"

Janu did not answer. He looks agitated. Hair on the head that looks longer than usual. Jealousy burned his heart.
