AL-THAR
#91. Inconvinced
For a fraction of a second, Mira blinked and digested as usual. What he had just heard was something quite terrifying but there remained a speck of relief, given how frightening Dennis was.
"Kok .. can ..." That's all he can say.
A gentle swipe now Athar lay on Mira's head. He looked at his wife with affection. "I got the info from Rhino."
I don't know which one the Rhino was, Mira forgot. For sure he was convinced that someone was Athar's confidant.
"Valid?"
Athar nodded.
"Really?" the disbelief was too big for him. How can? Didn't he still get a call two days ago from Dennis? He still heard clearly the voice as he had known all along.
"Because what? The cause?" he slowly stroked his own stomach. It was seen by Athar, and one hand of her husband also stroked Mira's stomach.
"He is on another mission."
"Mission? Duty?"
Athar knew that Mira must not have understood his words. "Remember that Dennis was an accomplice to the Garin family? Their confidant. It's always been a mainstay there." Mira nodded slowly. "There was a project that they definitely wanted to forcibly take over, as usual. Surely Dennis became part of their important mission. And it turns out that the project does not seem to belong to ordinary entrepreneurs. There are influential people behind it. I think, this time the Garin dynasty is wrongly targeting food. And Dennis is the one loss they've got for disrupting people who still seem to be part of the government."
"So .. that means Dennis is really ...."
Her husband nodded. "Yes, he's dead. Although I still don't believe it, people like Dennis are so easily wiped off the face of the earth."
Mira's hand moved to silence Athar's mouth. He shook his head slowly and said, "Udah, Bang. Shrimp is related to them. We live our lives. Let them be with his world," he worries. I don't know where that uncomfortable feeling came from. To be sure, Mira must convince Athar that it is enough for them to live happily with difficulties that are still within reach. It's not a big deal with Garin's family that Sabrina left him. Mira is worried that nothing will happen if Athar is still involved with his past problems.
Athar smiled soothingly. But it still hasn't made Mira feel the calm. "I don't want you to do anything else. Now there's him," point him to his own stomach. "There is he we must make happy. Yeah, right?!"
"Yes," Athar nodded in agreement.
"I ...."
"See Sheli. She went to work leaving her baby at home. He covers up his loneliness. She smiled even though she missed Bryan. He misses his father Tia. If Bryan is there then complete affection for Tia. But Bryan would never come back even if he cried blood. And I don't want to ... if ...."
Athar takes Mira into his arms. Mira quietly wiped away the tears that had melted just like that. "No, I'm a baper,"
"Yes, Al .. dear .. I understand your concerns. You just calm down. Do not bring stress. That's why I wanted to miss the story."
"Not spoilers!" Mira slapped her husband's chest.
A smile cannot be hidden. How pleasant this taste is. Yes, a completely genuine sense of belonging and belonging. And who would want to exchange all this for stupidity?
Compared to the reverse with Mira whose mind is now floating. The fact that Dennis is gone. I don't know. Like Athar, Mira still does not believe in it.
"So the Sheli is actually fragile?" ask Athar shortly afterwards.
Mira nodded in her arms. "I know how he looks. She is strong, tough .. but she is also just a woman who actually needs male affection. Especially with everything that has happened to him .. then a smile is the best thing that he can show in front of his family. Everyone can afford to lie with his smile, but me and my mom can never lie."
"Trus ... what can we do for you?"
"Help the spirit. I saw him again with Dylan and Baihaqi. Uh I mean, Wira is also Baihaqi. Maybe soon, he will make his choice. Seriously, that Sheli needs men in his life. Just like I need a brother in my life."
Athar did not immediately reply again. Mira's face tightened, without making her big belly feel uncomfortable. After a while, his voice sounded again. "Hm .. What if we kidnap one to accompany the other."
His words made Mira look up and let go of his embrace. "I mean Brother?"
