AL-THAR
#60. The Surabaya

Happy reading!

🍔🍔

After an hour and a half on the plane that was quite torturous for Mira, finally he could breathe a sigh of relief when he had set foot in the city of Surabaya. How he did not suffer if he had to withstand the nausea that had come during the flight. Fortunately, drowsiness immediately attacked him until time did not feel passed and he arrived in his destination city.

"Mim, Mira!"

Someone greeted Mira but Mira didn't know her. Not knowing at all, Mira never knew that face was one of Athar's men. It's just that Mira forgot her name altogether.

here's how it is to stay rame-rame, though,

at home many people mill around until I don't memorize their names.

Next time I'll make everyone's name-tags, so I can memorize the names.

"Yes?"

"Come,"

"You were told to bang Athar, huh? that means that bang Athar knows I'm here?" suddenly Mira lost her spirit. She should have guessed with her husband's ability, right?! How could Athar have left it unattended at this far away.

"No, Non. I told Roy without having to tell Athar."

"Seriously?" Indeed Mira told this intention to Linggar and Roy. Hence, both of his bodyguards were obedient not to follow him.

His spirit is back again. He smiled and said, "Ah good."

"Come,"

"Where?"

"Roy has told me that Non must rest at the hotel first when he arrives."

"Oh that's it," Mira stepped up following the person. "By the way, whose name are you?"

"I'm Rhino" he replied as he opened the car door.

"Rhya? Rhino isn't the English rhino, is it?"

The man's face smiled flatly and briefly without saying any more. He immediately headed for the driver's seat.

uh, I'm trying to name everyone. Hadeh, this mouth.

The journey to the hotel is not too far away. An hour ago, Mira saw that the car had finally turned on a hotel. It is true, he was already very upset with warm water that will soak it as usual. And the hotel was the best place before he met Athar and gave them a sweet surprise for their lives.

Mira smiled to herself imagining how Athar would react in a moment. Patience, bathtub is the thing he misses more important now.

Once at the hotel, Mira who had prepared her room, then immediately given her room key by Rhino. Then no need to waste time until he immediately took a straight path to his room.

"Water, water, water ..." His hands were busy taking off his clothes and immediately headed for the bathroom. "Geez, I'm like a fish that lingers on land. I need water immediately."

.

About an hour later, Mira was soaking. She was very happy and feeling refreshed after feeling the heat and nausea during the trip from Jakarta to the hotel.

Now Mira is ready by taxi to the office where Athar is now. Before leaving the hotel, Mira had read a message on her phone that Rhino could not drive her for an important reason. And that's not a problem. After all Mira's intention was indeed to come surprise her husband.

The building in front of him was not very big. It probably only consisted of four or five floors, when Mira looked up just a moment ago. With a happy step and holding a smile, he headed to the third floor where Athar was now, according to the information on the reception desk.

It's afternoon. Mira believes that it will soon be Athar's return hour.

With full confidence, Mira has stepped on the third floor and face to face with a person she believes is the secretary there.

"Mother Almira?" ask a woman behind the table that Mira approached.

"Yes." Yeah."

"What is the need for Mr Athar?"

The woman widened her eyes. It was clear that his shocked face was over Mira's words just now. "Oh sorry I don't know, Mom."

"It's okay,"

"This is Mr Athar's wife? Oh, sorry I don't know. I didn't come to Athar's wedding."

Mira just smiled.

"Then go straight in, Mom."

"Oh yeah, thank you."

...💔💔...

"Ma ... If I marry with such a big belly, wouldn't Mama be ashamed?" ask Shelia.

Pertiwi watched carefully the expression of her eldest daughter. There is a firmness and a belief, determination, and strength in the face of life. But on the other hand, also caught the look of helpless eyes that his daughter appeared even a little.

"What do you think you should do yourself, Shel?"

"Kok me?"

"Yes, you. Mama's done it, Shel. Whatever you want. Whatever you think, Mama accepts. Mama could be tougher than this, Shel. It's okay."

Shelia felt like her heart was pierced by a needle. Yeah, it's a little taste, but it hurts.

It was not her desire to give shame and disgrace to her family, especially the mother. But everything has happened beyond his sanity. Say it like that. Even he himself felt that he was a criminal and a victim at the same time. He was determined to end his life some time ago.

Then, when he has been able to accept and forgive himself, apparently it is not enough. There was still someone he needed to take care of his heart. Namely mama. How those poignant, disappointed, injured eyes looked at him in silence. As a sinful child, Shelia felt that she needed to make up for all her mistakes by making her happy. I don't know how.

Shelia immediately wiped away the tears that were suddenly present without permission. "I'm sorry, Ma. I–"

"Sst, already, Shel. It's all been happening. You don't have to bring it up again. Than that, it's more bail on you and we fix everything."

"Bryan proposed to me, Ma. Both of her parents have also told us to get married immediately."

"Then?"

"But I'm the same Bryan ..."

"Why?"

"Bryan it ..."

"Sheli,"

"He's different than us, Ma. How am I supposed to do?"

...💖💖...

Mira never once composed a sweet sentence in her life. He never tried to surprise her with all the feeling in her that she is today.

The shadows of her husband's reaction, words, and attitude later when he told her a happy news had filled his mind in a few days.

He was convinced that the child was the opening of the road to the happiness of a household. Especially his household with Athar. He recalled how Athar who often offended the issue of heredity, while Mira herself even feared for some reason. And so far their discussion is still in agreement to delay.

Then, when finally delayed even already present without prediction, then obviously kebayang will be as happy as her husband later when he found out.

Mira again smiled even as her hand touched the doorknob of the room where Athar was. Slowly his hand twisted the thing and pushed it.
