TMS EPS 28: WHAT'S MY FAULT?

One week has passed.

The prisoners were randomly transferred to feel they were either upstairs or downstairs.

As Syma feels right now. He was moved downstairs. This time there were three men with him in the custody. And even more surprising. He found a figure that was so familiar to him. The one who caused all the chaos of his life.

Who else if not Mia.

Well, this time Syma was one room with Mia. Stare in anger at the woman who has made her suffer.

"Why are you doing this to me, Mia? I love you like my own brother. Look at the consequences of your actions...

What's wrong with you, say !!" syma's voice sounded soft. His face was a disappointment.

While Mia was just staring blankly. His hands hugged his own body like a frightened person. Mia's condition looks sad. More like a person who is experiencing severe depression.

"You're just talking to him. She's crazy" said the middle-aged woman who was also in the same room with him.

"Why are you talking like that?" Syma looked at him confused.

"Because the woman often roared and banged herself. Sometimes he tries to commit suicide. But it was immediately thwarted by the police officer."

This made Syma surprised. And looked back at Mia with such concern.

"I'm sure he'll definitely attempt suicide again. Especially when he realizes that downstairs like this, we're going to starve because we're not going to get any leftovers,"

Hear that. Makes him remember the plan he made. If the prisoners did everything he said, they would not feel hungry. But Syma still doubts that. Especially now that he is on the ground floor. He could do nothing more, but surrender.

"I hope it won't happen" murmured Syma.

Slowly, Syma approached Mia. "Whatever you did to me, I've forgiven you Mia. Don't burden yourself with a slump like this. Make this a lesson in your life.

Arise up...

Fight for what you've done so far. But this time, I hope you change the way things are. Don't hurt anyone else anymore. Because even if you're happy, there's no blessing in it." Syma stopped her words while looking straight ahead.

"And again, mas Revan must be sad to see you like this,"

Hearing the name of her loved ones made Mia suddenly return Syma's gaze. I don't know what the gaze meant, Syma herself couldn't interpret it.

Then their gaze switched when they heard the sound of an alarm, a food sign was about to come.

The middle-aged woman who was rooming with them, cheered happily. When I saw there was still food on that table.

But the food is not much. Far from many words. More precisely only half a plate of rice, and there were some meat that had barely stayed bone.

Drinking water is no less concerning. Only about half a glass. How could they eat that very little food, while their number was three.

There's only one way. That is sharing the potluck with flat, muttered Syma.

But unfortunately the middle-aged woman was not that good. Even from his gaze alone it was clearly visible, there was a crab there.

"It seems to be my luck. I am the longest-serving occupant of this prison. So this food is only for me" he said with pride.

"It can't be like that, ma'am. In this prisoner there are three men, including me. The food should be divided equally" said Syma, who disagreed with the woman's remarks.

"Then what about us?"

"I don't care !" the woman shouted and with quick steps, wanted to ambush a lump of food on the table. But unexpectedly Mia suddenly pushed him to the corner of the room.

"Crazy woman....

how dare you push me !"

Not until there. Mia instantly ambushed the middle-aged woman's body so she couldn't wrinkle. Then Mia immediately looked at Syma, as if she was beckoning.

Syma immediately understood the meaning of the gaze, and immediately snuffed the food up so that it became three parts.

When she finished, Mia immediately let go of the woman. And sit at the table eating. Eating his food voraciously, but the killing gaze was still on the middle-aged woman.

"This small piece of food will not be enough to make my stomach full. You guys are shithead. "maki that woman, but she looked down immediately when Mia again looked at him full of hostility.

"Can't you be a little grateful. Didn't you just say that it is very rare for leftovers to reach the bottom floor?

Imagine if there was not a single grain of rice left, then we would definitely starve.

Which favor of God do you deny?" Syma spoke sharply. Makes the woman quiet.

They finally ate in silence. No more fighting until it's all over.

*****

"Until now, Mas Revan still does not know everything" said Mia who suddenly broke the silence between them.

Syma looked at him. "That's because you didn't say it." Syma muttered flatly.

"I can't do it. I'm too weak in this, '" he said.

"Then be prepared to live a life full of lies." Syma smiled wryly before continuing her words. "There will be an end to all this. And that end will happen, depending on how we react. If our attitude is good. Then everything will end well anyway. But if it's full of lies and deceit, then don't expect it to end happily."

"I never get what I want" said Mia bitterly.

"God never gives us what we want. But God will give us what we need."

Mia's tears suddenly trickled down without being prevented. He sobbed in silence.

While Syma who could not bear to see it, instead hugged the woman. Syma rubbed her back gently.

"Is it still worth it that I get an apology from you Syma? I have hurt you. I even ruined your life. And because of me, too, you got here.

If you want to punish me, then I will accept it. Tell me Syma, what should I do so that you will forgive me" Mia said in her sobs. Her tears were on her face. Mia's heartbreaking cry was able to make Syma also shed tears.

"I've forgiven you, Mia. To me you are still my friend. I'm glad when you've found your direction. Stay istiqomah. Do not repeat the mistake that will make you miserable like this."
