AL-THAR
#97. Condition (2) - Friction

"I don't see the Diva, do I, Mir?" Soli dingingukan's. As far as his eyes tried to find the figure but he could not find it either.

"Emang Pram invited him?" ask Rizka. "She's he invited? It's not important."

"Ryo the time you invite," replied Mira. Hearing Mira say Ryo's name, Athar turned to her. "Kan Diva Ryo's. So it's natural that he's here."

"Mending is not there."

Mira just slicked her shoulder. He went back to eating the food he had taken. Likewise with Athar who was sipping his drink, while chatting with his girlfriend Soli and Rizka.

Mira recalled a moment ago, as she was still standing near the bride. As much as possible, he avoided eye contact with Ryo. Somehow Mira was afraid that Ryo would give her a look that would make her heart feel pity. A sense of compassion that tends to guilt. Likewise when he studied Pram's eyes. The guilt is much greater.

But it all comes back to destiny. Yes, whatever the cause, whatever story they have gone through as part of the journey of life, then all has been described by the word called destiny. That means, it all has to happen. Whether it tastes bitter, sweet, fair or not, still all is the order.

Even when they finally had to say goodbye to Pram an hour later, then Mira had to go through something again. Something that creates a bit of friction in her home life.

Ryo reached out to him. Both Mira and her two best friends, especially Pram and Athar are now watching it all. Trivial and trivial things but become unusual if it intersects between Mira and Ryo.

Mira's reflexes turned to Athar who was currently looking at her fixedly, as a warning.

"Mir," call Ryo who draws his gaze. "Plis ... for the last time ...."

Mira doesn't understand. What does it mean that Ryo said that? and again, this is really a dilemma. It should be just a handshake, right? But it is not simple that Athar has made a decision that Mira must obey as a wife. So he turned back to Athar. Requesting permission, or rather requesting a decision.

"Gue represents." Athar welcomes Ryo's hand and immediately takes it off.

Ryo just sighed in silence. His eyes are always sidetracked on Mira's big belly.

Has Mira spoken inwardly that Ryo looks amazing at the moment? Oh, no seriously, the Japanese guy is very handsome in his black suit.

"Thank you, Mir, for coming. I hope that Pram is my true soul mate for the next, until death," he said as he looked at Pram at a glance. "You just calm down, I won't want your best friend."

Inevitably Mira pulled the corner of her lips in response. "I hope so. Ah, I mean, I hope as Pram expected."

"You mean, Mir?" ask Soli.

"Yes I mean, I would wish anything for Pram's happiness. I support Pram one hundred percent. Just for Pram."

"Whatever it is. I hope we are happy .. and I also hope .. if you are happy ...."

Ryo makes Mira look at him again.

...---...

"From now on, there's no reason for you to see him again" Athar broke up as soon as they got home.

Mira guessed that, considering how haunted Athar's face was since leaving the wedding reception building Pram and Ryo, until they arrived home an hour later. Mira tries to calm down and patiently face the heat of the husband's heart because of Ryo's last words. Though, to Mira, Ryo's speech was nothing. Because Mira has told Ryo for a long time that she is happy.

He is also familiar with Athar who is easily emotional in every thing he does not like. Therefore, Mira felt no need to get angry, and just be patient in dealing with the anger of Athar this time.

"Yes." Yeah." He answered briefly, concisely, and clearly.

"Cock you express that?" apparently Athar was not satisfied with Mira's answer.

"How is that? I'm not how I am. I'm following you Brother. If you want to go anywhere instead of me always permission the same brother first, yes, right?! So yeah, I don't do anything."

"I'll never give you permission to meet him, no exception."

"Yes. But if Pram–"

"Yes." this time Mira replied with a nod.

"I, as a man, know very well how he sees you, Al. He's still the same as when I hit him on the beach. His gaze was still the same as that. Even after seeing your stomach this big, his eyes did not change. Now do you understand why I feel this angry?"

has he? Ryo still have my same taste? wow, this is really bad.

"Yes, I get it. I'm getting angry, too, Bang. That means he's evil with Pram. Why would he marry Pram if he didn't have a taste?" Mira leaned on the sofa with both her legs raised and straightened on the sofa.

Athar slammed his body on another single sofa. While massaging his forehead, he said, "Why should there be him who has excessive feelings for you, Al. It frustrates me."

How Mira could answer, it was out of her control.

"I'll never let you meet him, Al. Never ..."

"Yes, dear brother .. I never expected that either."

Athar approached Mira and sat down after raising both of Mira's legs to place her in his lap. He rubbed Mira's legs with a massage that made Mira feel comfortable for a moment.

how can I turn around, if he's this sweet, right?!

"Tomorrow I'll go to Jakarta early in the morning. Tonight we go to Mom's house." Thankfully Athar has changed the subject.

"Again to Jakarta again? How many days?" Lately Athar has been out of town a lot. In addition to Nanda being almost always with her husband, inexplicably Mira feels anxious when Athar is away from her. Maybe it was the effect of her aging pregnancy. He was a little worried when something happened to him while Athar was away from him.

"Just a day. Home night. Dirga opened a new branch restaurant there. And everything we have to prepare before we actually walk. Look next week, if you're strong, you can come. But if I feel like you can't, then there's no need."

"Oh .. Trus if I don't come, you will come?"

Athar has not answered but Mira has already continued, "I don't want you to stay away from me, how?"

"Yes I'm not leaving." That's as easy as Athar answered for him. A little anxiety subsided instantly. Mira smiled warmly in response.

"Mama's not going anywhere tomorrow. Donny's show when?"

Somehow, Donny has become part of the Mira family. His family's important events always involve his mother in them. Often it makes Mira grateful. Because Mama who does not have a family anymore as if getting a new family with the existence of aunt Renata. Moreover, since the departure of papa, then the emptiness felt by his mother was real.

"Three more days he said."

"I don't want to leave you without one of your families, Al."

"There's Ghani."

"Ghani is on the mountain again."

"Masa? How do I not know?" Mira wondered why her sister could never open up to her. Nothing he never knew. And now, why must Athar know more about the whereabouts of his brother, while he as a brother does not even know? "Not so much wonder. Ghani 'is that right." especially since the problem with Kiara, it seems Ghani is a little distance from the family.

"He kicked, Al," whispered Athar who had just moved into his stomach.

"He's almost ready to come into our world, Papah."

Athar smiled sweetly. "Do you know his name?"

Mira nodded in spirit. She was very anxious for her husband who actually hid the name for their son. He said, after they saw the true gender when it was born later, then the name was only mentioned Athar. "Who?"

"Secret."
