Being Queen in the Hands of Sister-in-law
The Part 35

A heart that has been broken will not be able to return to its original state even though it has forgiven.

Micah is happy that Gavin finally apologized and realized his mistake. But Micah can't behave the same way he did after what Gavin said yesterday.

Wanted to be spoiled again, afraid Gavin felt uncomfortable. Wanting to ask Gavin for a moment, afraid Gavin thought he could not understand Gavin's busyness.

Everything feels bland and not as sweet as it used to be.

Even Micah was getting used to it without a line of messages coming into his phone. Micah gets used to it without the video call that goes with him at bedtime. Micah was getting used to it.

Like their meeting in Bandung yesterday, the meeting ended with Gavin saying goodbye because there was still work to be done.

Despite Micah's heavy heart to release Gavin, he could do nothing to keep Gavin at his side.

That love is still intact. Not less even though it has been disappointed.

But their quarrel yesterday became a big fortress that prevented Micah from acting like he used to.

"Mama's got some university brochures abroad. You can read first. You might be interested in going there."

"Want to study abroad?"

Feni smiled and nodded enthusiastically. "Well to, baby. But my mom doesn't want your meaning. But after what happened all this time, isn't this a good opportunity to develop yourself? Your own status can be a golden opportunity to achieve what you aspire to."

In Micah's heart confirmed Feni's words. This is an opportunity for him to go to high school. Expecting to soon be able to live with Gavin also somehow will materialize.

"Why go abroad, Ma? In Indonesia there is no less good university."

"Yes, it does." Feni nodded in confirming. "Mama's just offering, Micah. If you still choose in Indonesia, it is not a problem. Closer to mom and dad."

In Micah's heart laughed cynically. Closer Feni said? Until now they had no time for Micah. Especially if Micah is already abroad? They're going to be crazy about their work and they don't even remember they have kids.

"I'll think again, Ma" said Micah as he moved from his seat.

***

"Where are we going, brother?"

"At this soon, dear. Patience, yes."

The journey they had been on was over three hours. Jakarta-Surabaya by air. And now I don't know where Gavin will take Micah away.

They had to rent a car and the driver because Gavin himself had not memorized the area they would go to.

Just this time Gavin dared to take her away. Without Micah's parents' permission either. I was afraid Gavin would do anything. Although Micah fully believed that Gavin could not do it.

"Bromos?"

Gavin nodded and smiled. "This place is beautiful, Micah. Brother sure you like."

Micah smiled faintly. Micah considers this to be Gavin's attempt to restore Micah's trust.

"We're not staying there, are we, brother?"

"Stay, dong. Brother has ordered lodging for us." Gavin's words made Micah look at Gavin with a look of protest."Two rooms," continued Gavin making Micah sigh in relief.

"Although you really only want one room, anyway."

"That's it, she wanted Gavin. You want to get a chance, right?"

"For so long why not use it, dear?"

"Oh, huh? Okay. We'll just go home if that's it."

"Don't, dong! Nanggung, it's here, really. Just calm down, honey. As promised, brother will look after you until later when the time comes."

Micah smiled in relief without being able to ask when that time would materialize. Micah was afraid that his question would cause a quarrel like yesterday.

Micah could only hope, that time soon arrived with an easy path.

After a long journey, they finally reached the Savannah Bromo.

A vast expanse of grassland located on the south side of mount Bromo. At a glance the expanse of savanna in the form of hills – beautiful green hills that resemble Teletubbies hill in the film children – children.

"Wear the jacket" Gavin said before they got out of the car. The air there is quite cold. Especially if it is late afternoon.

The cold and the wind gently came upon Micah's face as Micah had just gotten out of the car.

Gavin immediately took Micah's hand and invited him to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the slopes of Mount Bromo.

"Well, that's pretty, brother."

"You likey?"

Micah nodded enthusiastically.

"So my sister wanted to take you to the beach. But afraid that you're still traumatized by yesterday's events."

"I've never been traumatized by anything, brother. The beach and the mountain are equally beautiful. All I like."

Micah nodded again enthusiastically. Visiting a place as beautiful as this must indeed be immortalized. Especially coming with loved ones.

One day, Micah wanted to come again. But with a different status to Gavin.

Be a husband and wife, maybe. Or even have children later.

Micah's cheeks were hot imagining it happening.

Micah's various styles have been immortalized by Gavin. They also took a photo together, asking one of the visitors to take a photo of the two of them.

"That's great, brother." Micah screamed happily. Even he pranced happily to see their photos look very good. It is common for a woman to do something if she is happy.

"I made a nice wallpaper." Micah immediately changed the wallpaper. Her picture with Gavin that she made wallpaper.

"Good, right, brother?" Micah asked for approval.

Gavin nodded and laughed. "That's great."

Gavin continued to look closely at Micah. Micah was busy sliding slide by slide the photos they had just taken.

Loving Micah was a happy thing for her. During his life, Gavin only felt his life full of color after he got to know Micah closely.

"Dear."

"Yes?" Micah answered without looking. Both eyes were busy to see the natural beauty presented before him.

"Someone wants you to talk about."

Micah looked at him. "What?" ask her with a racing heart.

Gavin was silent for a long time. In his mind he was busy stringing up the word that had been to talk to Micah. His hand gripped Micah's hands tightly.

"What's up, brother?" mikha was impatient.

Gavin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Staring at Micah with a stern look. It was so hard to say what was in his mind. But all that he had to do.

"We'll just get here, okay?"

Micah widened his eyes. I still don't understand what Gavin meant. "What? The roads get here? Does my sister have any other purpose what? I don't understand."

"Our relationship, honey. Our relationship is quite up here."

Hearing this, Micah's chest was like a big rock. Stuffy. Micah immediately pulled out his hand which was in Gavin's grasp violently.

"What does brother mean?" Micah's tone of voice sounded vibrating.

"Sorry," said Gavin quietly without being able to look into Micah's eyes that had shed tears.

"Son Gavin took me to a place so far, this beautiful, just to destroy me?"

Micah laughed blankly. Either Gavin who has no feelings or Micah who is too stupid back to put trust.

He thought it was Gavin's attempt to fix what he had broken. But Gavin destroyed it.

"Emang actually said Mama with Papa. I should have left your family. I regret fighting for my brother in front of them."

Micah was sitting down. The defense he was doing had finally collapsed as well. Micah sobbed with a heart full of wounds. "Why, Brother? Why are you the same with me? Not satisfied to see your sister hurt me, huh? Until you have to hurt me."

"Sister has been trying to fight for our relationship. But your parents really don't approve of us, Micah."

"And you give up, brother?"

"You can get better."

Micah laughed cynically. Nodding his head, feeling understood by what Gavin meant. "Yes. I'll get a lot better than you."

Micah moved his legs leaving Gavin speechless. Even Gavin wasn't after Micah at all.

After Micah took his bag which he left in the car, Micah left the place.

Though Micah did not know where to put his foot, Micah did not care. All he wants is to be away from Gavin.

As long as the phone and wallet are in the bag, everything will feel safe. Micah could not have died on the spot from straying or starvation unless it was time for Micah to die.

Micah is heartbroken, but his mind is still healthy. The reasoning can still work well.

Micah hope all this is just a dream. But Micah also realized that what was happening right now was a reality.
