Mika is struggling with a laptop in front of her. Lately a lot of tasks made the girl. There is no time to play around other than with his lentic fingers playing with a laptop keyboard. Sometimes Mika stretched her hands to relieve the pain of fatigue that whack.
In addition there is a glass of iced tea and a jar of banana chips. Chips that Yumna provided for her because, women know if Mika tengan to do her college assignments.
"Ahhh, tired of it." Mika stretched her hand upwards. Stepping into the bathroom because of nature's call.
"What's Mimi's sister?" While coming out of Aileen's bathroom, the little girl went inside Mika's room.
"Silver pee Ai, what's up hmm?" Mika approached Aileen who was sitting on her bed.
"Ai want to play with Brother Mimi. We haven't played in a long time. Ai is tired of playing with Azlan or Abang Al," Rajuknya while folding both hands in the chest. Act like an adult.
"Where is Emang Ai going to play? Big Brother's college assignment is still a lot of Ai,"
"Main in the backyard is also okay Brother Mimi while mam ice cream." Aileen said with sparkling eyes as she said ice cream. The girl's favorite ice.
"Hmm, okay Ai. Where's azlan?" Mika agreed to Aileen's invitation. After all, it's been a long time that the girl didn't invite Aileen to play. About after telling his love to Ali 2 months ago. Since then Mika rarely sleeps at the house Yumna Mika spends more time at the house Tiana. Not wanting to avoid continuing, it's just that the college assignments done in groups make Mika decide at the house of Tiana, her best friend.
"Sir Mimi is serious?" The girl seemed to sparkle at Mika's words.
Mika nodded. "Yes, let's play for a second. Later brother still wants to connect for duty. You see the task of big sister Ai," Mika gently pulled the little girl's hand. Take him down the stairs holding on.
Mika took three boxes of ice cream in the refrigerator. Take him to the backyard with a happy heart. Not to forget they also invited Azlan who was in the Yumna bench in the living room.
"What do you want to taste? Strawberry, chocolate or vanilla?" Mika arranged the three ice cream boxes on the bench they were going to sit on.
"Ai want strawberries Brother Mimi," Aileen was enthusiastic when she received ice cream given Mika.
Mika gives a vanilla taste to Azlan and to herself a chocolate taste. The three human children enjoyed the cold sensation created from the ice cream. Very sweet and delicious. Moreover, the weather today is very hot, adding a cool impression for them. A gentle breeze struck Aileen's long hair down to the ribs. While Mika's hair is only limited to the shoulder because a few days ago in the cut.
"Sister Mimi, it's delicious!" Aileen thrust the ice cream she had eaten to Mika.
"Yes Ai, having a sister is good too. Gih continue to eat it later if it's liquid is not good."
"Good Brother Mimi,"
"Enak Az?" Mika turned to look at the boy sitting on her left side.
"Nak Tatak Mi," he replied with a mouth that was smudged. Azlan was unable to speak properly. Because the boy used to be quick to sit and walk. While speaking a bit slowly from Aileen or Ali. Mika knew from Yumna when they were sitting on the porch at that time.
"Son't got Ai is over. Ai wants to play first with Azlan, Brother Mimi. Brother don't go wait for us here until we're done playing?" pinta Aileen who Mimi.
The girl continued to eat her ice cream which was still a quarter. Seeing the activation of the two little boys from a distance not too far away.
"May Brother sit on the Deck?" Mika gasps because of Ali's sudden presence.
"Byeah, sit down Bang. The seat is also still empty." Mika replied. "Want to?" Mika thrust the ice cream she had eaten to Ali.
"No Deck, eat." replied Ali who was watching his two younger siblings. "When are you coming home Deck?" ask Ali. Some days Ali did not see Mika's whereabouts, because the girl was staying at her best friend's house.
"So 10 Bang, why?" Mika glanced at the man she still loved. However, he no longer showed his sad look because, trying to stay strong even in his solitude remains fragile. Really moving on is not easy but, showing ourselves to be strong and not fragile is a pluss value.
"Yes these days you don't see me, Dek. It's always breakfast."
"Oh that's it Bang, because now I have a lot of Bang's college assignments. Moreover, there are also many group tasks that will automatically be done at Tiana's house," said Mika staring straight at Aileen and Azlan who were playing.
Ali just nodded hearing Mika's words. This was how they had been since Mika expressed her feelings. Sometimes it feels warm and cold. Honestly, Ali and Mika miss the atmosphere at that time, but now it has all changed. No more tight-knit familiarity like a few months ago. A lot of awkwardness that pair of humans experienced. Especially since Ali brought her lover home to be introduced to Andi and Yumna.
The flashback
"Assalamu'alaikum Mother, Abi," Ali entered the house with a girl who might be a short distance from Ali. About 2 years under Ali.
"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied those in the living room turned to Ali and looked at him who was brought by Ali in a daze.
Several times Mika's mind said that's the girl Ali likes. A girl who can make a man fall in love.
"This is Yola, my lover, Bun, Bi," Ali introduced Yola to her parents.
Degs...
Sure enough what Mika thinks, if the beautiful girl is Ali's lover. A lover who could attract Ali. It was sad, disappointed and angry that was how Mika felt at this moment. As powerful as Mika held back her cries, there was no way she would leave from there. Obviously Ali would think she was a weak girl who was not strong to see her carrying the girl of his heart. For the sake of her ego that must be upheld, Mika held herself to sit beside Aileen.
"Oh that's Al. Tumben's taking people's girls home? Usually never, either? Mother force you not to take it." Ledek Yumna smiled at her son.
"Heheh it's okay Bun, besides now Yola is not busy so, I can bring it here. Most of the time I'm busy at Bun Hospital with how to get Yola here, too,"
Yumna just nodded her head. "What's college doing, son?" Yumna turned towards Yola.
"Please Non," Mbok came up with a juice carry for Yola.
"Yes Bi," Yola smiled gently at the old woman. "It's Tan's work" replied Yola.
"What work?" Now it was no longer Yumna who asked but Andi.
"SLB teacher, Om," Yola smiled sweetly at Andi. It was a bit awkward for Yola to feel because, just this time set foot in the house of Ali's parents.
Andi nodded. "How long has Al been?"
"One year Bi," replied Ali who understood where Andi was going.
Andi nodded again. "When will it be inaugurated?"
Mika's heart was broken when she heard Andi say when Ali and Yola's relationship will be inaugurated which automatically is a marriage relationship.
"This is Allah as soon as possible Bi, pray yes," pinta Ali displayed his smile.
"Yes, Abi will always wish you the best. Don't take too long because, it's not good."
"Good Bi,"
"Tante, Om, I'll go to the room first. You see, there are still tasks I want to do," said Mika who could not stand it.
"Yes dear," Yumna replied with a smile.
Mika left the living room. No longer want to hear anything they're going to talk about. His chest was painful, his ears were hot to hear the words that Ali let out. Go, one of the best ways to keep her still fragile and broken heart.
