Being Queen in the Hands of Sister-in-law
part 49's

[Sweetie, how was it today?]

Micah smiled reading a line of messages Nathan had sent. Nathan doesn't usually send messages. He must have called Micah.

But today Micah was also busy doing his duty. If Nathan calls, he can't concentrate.

^^^[ I just got a thesis. Just a minute, yeah.]^^^

As a student pursuing a master's degree, Micah was preoccupied with working on a thesis that drained his time and energy.

He rarely had time to reply to messages or take calls from Nathan.

Sometimes, Micah also felt guilty. Moreover, Nathan has rarely been to Paris because Nathan said his business here has developed enough. Check out from Jakarta.

Nathan also said that he is also developing his Singapore business. The Sabab was sometimes so busy that he could not inform Micah.

In fact, in one to two weeks without measure they have ever done. All because of their respective activities.

In essence, Micah was just trying to keep believing in Nathan. Because trust is the foundation of a relationship.

Just enjoy the LDR process that he is living with Nathan. Until they are found, there is only beauty and happiness.

[I'm free today, honey. So you can wait to do your job. Want a video call?]

^^[ Later, Nath. I'm afraid I won't concentrate when I see your face.]^^^

[Can you. Yes, I helped prayer, huh?]

^^^[So much better. Hehe]^^

Micah put down his phone. Returning to continue his work to be finished quickly and he could soon return to Indonesia.

Almost two years, Micah was curious how Indonesia is now. Especially Jakarta, where he lives.

Micah also wants to see Nathan soon.

"Bismillah... Four months to go home" he said encouraging himself.

The target is in Paris for only two years. So worked hard by Micah, everything was finished on time. And he can go home in time.

***

"Mikha?"

"You?"

Both could not hide their surprise.

Gilang who came to Paris just for a vacation, without the slightest intention to meet with Micah, was actually met accidentally.

As far away as Paris, Gilang did not expect to meet Micah. But it turns out fate brought them together. And Gilang felt very happy.

In Gilang's eyes, Micah was getting prettier. Much prettier than the last time she met Micah almost four years ago.

It has also been a long time.

Gilang did not expect that long he could love Micah in silence. Though not daring to hang on hope in time to reunite them.

That's not gonna happen. Micah's heart was already adrift with whom Gilang did not know. Micah is no longer alone.

"Vacation?" micah asked opening the conversation.

Gilang smiled and nodded his head. "Yes, here. Five years ago, this was my first time on vacation again."

"Seriously?"

Gilang nodded again. "Yes." Yeah."

"Never stress? No need for healing, huh?"

Hearing Micah's question, Gilang let out a laugh.

"Lelaki is that, huh? There's a big problem they don't need healing."

"Not all that, really. If for me, healing does not have to go to places that calm. But that actual healing, getting closer to the creator, is at peace with yourself and circumstances. Until the heart is truly at peace and we can finally rise again."

"Wow!" Micah was astonished to hear Gilang's words. "It's really Lo right, Lang?" micah continued in disbelief.

I can't believe what said just now is Gilang. The man who used to be so annoying and constantly hurt Micah with his behavior, can now even say that. Very motivating according to Micah.

"Why? Strange, yeah, I'm talking like that?"

Without further ado, Micah nodded his head. "Yes, weird."

Gilang chuckled small. "It's weird, anyway, considering my behavior. Many people don't believe in my change. But man has the right to make his life right, right?"

Micah nodded in confirming.

"And I'm trying to do that" Gilang said calmly.

It's hard to believe the changes he's brought in now. Remembering how Gilang used to behave. But once again, humans are entitled and must change for the better. Micah has no right to bring up again how the former Gilang.

Micah doesn't think he has the right to ask how the process is until he can be like now.

"I heard you're getting married?" Refresh to open the voice.

Micah smiled faintly. "Yet. The plan was to propose after I got home from here."

"Still in college?"

"Doain so that it can be completed on time. About three months more."

"What about Gavin?"

Hearing the name called, the smile on Micah's lips faded.

Micah is also confused as to how about his relationship with Gavin. Micah was astonished, with Gilang alone he could be like this. This casual conversation with Gilang. In fact, come to think of it, what Gilang did was actually more painful.

But somehow he can't just act normal to Gavin. Even Gavin's arrival here to apologize from Micah did not allow Micah.

Giving him a chance to talk but the end remains the same, Micah is reluctant to establish a good relationship with Gavin.

"Maybe because you used to love her. So what he did, it was more painful than anything I've ever done." Gilang's words signified as if he knew what was on Micah's mind.

Surely Micah's face and eyes couldn't lie about how he got along with Gavin after their relationship ended.

"okay, Micah. I have to get back to the hotel. My friends went back there first. Thank you for being willing to talk to me. I wanted to take your walk for a while. But you're busy, huh? Success in his thesis. I can help prayer."

Micah laughed a little. "Thanks for the prayer. Careful," Micah replied.

Although it was not willing to part with Micah, Gilang still had to leave.

At least, their meeting had reduced the longing in Gilang's heart. But, instead of Gilang felt relieved, but the longing was getting bigger.

"Mikhayla Wiratmaja, there is a daycare for you" said the receptionist at her apartment in French.

Micah squinted his eyes at the large doll at the reception desk.

"From who?" reply Micah, in French too.

"I don't know. There's a letter here."

"OKAY. Thank you." - Thank you."

Micah was carrying a panda almost as big as he was. He took her walking and got into the elevator.

Already heavy carrying a bag containing thick books and a laptop, Micah still had to carry the doll.

Micah wondered, who sent this big doll for him? Nathan-was he sending?

Micah smiled happily. Thought that Nathan was the one who sent the doll for her.

Arriving at the apartment, Micah placed the doll on the sofa. Take the envelope containing the letter tucked in the doll.

Hi, Micah! How are you doing?

Still like panda dolls, right? Hopefully the doll I sent you can make you smile a little.

Micah...

May I envy your closeness to Gilang?

You can forgive him. Even chatted casually with him.

But with? Like there's no apology from you to me.

Success for the thesis you are working on, yes!

Hopefully you can graduate on time and return to Indonesia soon.

I waited for you...

Gavin

"Sir Gavin?" muttered.

Micah breathed a long breath. How did Gavin know Micah could have a casual chat with Gilang?

Micah kicked the doll in frustration. Why is his life never calm? There is always Gavin and Gilang who come back in his life alternately.

"Yes Allah... I'm tired of dealing with them."
