Inside a resort hotel. A woman in a knee-length cod dress looks at a person from the tail of her eyes. While covering his face with the menu book, he continued to watch the man who was busy talking to his business partner.
Well, she's Milea. And the man he was watching was Zaky. He had promised himself to continue to protect Zaky despite being silent like this though. Importantly, Zaky is still under his protection watch.
Long enough to wait, Zaky can be seen rising from sitting together with his colleagues shaking hands and then going out of the hotel resort. Milea closed the menu book, snatching her bag walking gracefully out of it.
"Sir Zaky there's no time tonight? My daughter will have a birthday. If you don't mind, can you please attend?" Ask the middle-aged man who became Zaky's business partner.
"I don't promise. But I will try to come." Answer Zaky.
"alright. The party will be held at the pardo hotel, I really hope you can come Mr. Zaky." After that, the two immediately parted into their respective cars.
"Taxi!!"
"Follow that car sir!" Pinta Milea after entering the taxi. "Ready man." This car is running. Every now and then Milea glanced ahead, where her master's car was.
His hand reached into the bag and found his phone, expressionlessly he pressed a few digits of numbers then pressed the green button to call.
"Hallo's? Who?" There was a wet hoarse voice from across there, indicating that the owner of the phone had just woken up from his sleep.
"Get me an invitation to the sutomo family's daughter's birthday. It's at the pardo hotel." Tut--- unilaterally Milea disconnects the phone without caring about the person she calls.
"Sir, the car stopped here. Would you like to stop here too?" Asked the driver to make Milea's consciousness return completely. He looked around, a foreign and deserted settlement. Why stop here?
"I'm down here sir, but can you wait for me?" Ask Milea because she is sure, it will be difficult to find a taxi in a quiet place like this.
"Can mbak." Answer the driver. Milea smiled then immediately got out of the car staring around. Now he knows where Zaky's headed.
The girl walked down the street carefully, so as not to disturb the inhabitants of the underground. You know where? Well, they are currently in a TPU where both parents and Zaky's sister are buried.
From a distance, he could see Zaky crying beside his sister's grave. Milea blinked her eyes a few times to keep her tears down, she even deliberately looked up hoping that her tears would not escape. Unfortunately, the tears escaped as well despite being banned.
She quickly wiped away her tears when she saw Zaky walking towards her after complacent sighing to her beloved family. Milea quickly turned around and immediately crouched down on one of the tombs that belonged to who, in order not to make Zaky suspicious. Evidently from Zaky who just passed by without suspicion at all.
Milea looks in front of the TPU, making sure that Zaky has left, and then she walks to the tomb of her best friend Anna.
"Hi Anna's. You're glad I came? Miss you. I'm sorry I just got to visit, because right now I happen to have some free time, so just come visit you. Haha, no need to be moved. I know I'm a good friend! I will never forget my best friend, even if I am busy. If there's time I'll always visit you." Said Milea trying to be cheerful in front of her best friend.
His gaze now turned to the two mounds of earth beside Anna's tomb. It is written there, Hendra Angkasa, and also Lastri Angkasa. "Holais... Milea's coming again om, aunt. Sorry for not bringing flowers for you. Abisnya son of aunty same om did not say if you want to come here. Tau it's Milea can buy flowers for aunt same om earlier. But, it's okay. Milea will still give gifts to om, aunt and Anna."
"Hiks hyks. Milea misses Anna... hiks, why did Anna leave Milea alone? Didn't Anna promise to always be with Leah. It's simple happiness for Lea. hiks but why is Anna leaving Lea so soon.." she said. His hands trembled remembering the beautiful moment together with his best friend. Promise to always be with each other, and be happy for each other.
Milea blinked her eyes quickly, then slowly wiped her tears and smilingly looked at the three mounds of land in turn.
"As per the trust you asked Anna for. I'll take care of your beloved brother no matter what. No matter if he wants to hate me or not, because I can't live with the shadow of the promise we made. If when you're dead you can keep your word, why can't the living me?" Tight Milea.
"You guys just calm down. I will do everything I can to protect the only Space descendant that still survives to this point. I'll always try to be by his side to encourage."
Milea smiled. "It's Milea saying yes, aunt, and Anna. Next time Milea will come here again."
After reciting Al-Fatihah, Milea got up and turned around. How shocked he was when someone he knew was now standing looking at him with a hard-to-understand look.
"Tu-tuan Zaky.. b-how did you get here? N-didn't you have been gone a long time ago?" Milea's question was still a little shocked by Zaky's arrival arriving.
Silent. There was no answer at all coming out of Zaky's mouth. Even the man seemed to flinch from his place, his eyes could not be separated to look at Milea's black eye bead. Feeling that there was nothing to say anymore, Milea nervously walked past the tall body of the man.
Just as he passed through the body, Zaky's hand first blocked his hand, holding the girl to leave.
Zaky looked cold. "From the beginning you already know my identity surnamed Angkasa. You came to me to seek shelter. Aren't you?" Milea was silent and did not want to return that ice-cold look.
"Say that's Milea's lie!! Tell me it's a lie!!" Zaky's shout violently pushed Milea's small body down right next to Anna's grave.
"Ssttt" Milea grimaced holding her palm that was scratched by the gravel that was fused with the ground.
"If you just want to discuss that my answer will remain the same sir. I'VE COME TO YOU TO ASK FOR SHADE PROTECTION!!" Milea stood up to challenge Zaky.
"Stop denying the truth, because it will hurt yourself. Because no matter how hard you deny, it won't change anything. Because as time goes by, without being revealed, the truth will be revealed by itself." Continue walking through Zaky until it stops right next to the body that is now holding his anger.
Milea glanced at the young man. "You won't understand the truth if you can't accept reality. Ponder my words, for not all reality is bitter." After saying that, Milea ran away from Zaky with tears that could no longer be contained.
Bugs
"Road sir!" Pinta Milean. Without refuting, the driver ran his car through the TPU to the address Milea gave him.
Milea stared out the window expressionlessly. Because he was fed up of venting his grief with tears, resentment with anger, hatred with revenge. He was fed up with the world as if he was playing tricks on himself, twisting his story along with the present.
"I just want to be happy, for a second. Without having to be shrouded in the shadow of the mass..."
