The Destiny of the Mute Girl
Episode 12 ~ Suppose only...

...☘️☘️☘️...

The long night passed quickly, until the reflection of the not too bright sunlight entered the window of Wulan's room and disturbed his long sleep. The morning wind came through the window of her room, making Wulan seem reluctant to reveal the thick blanket from her body.

Slowly, the beautiful girl opened her eyes and rose from her sleep. His eyes that were reckless and looked black at the bottom of the eyes could not be covered anymore. How not reckless, Wulan cried after seeing Dhana and Mala's quarrel which was quite short last night. Coupled with the words of the mother who is very heartbreaking.

If I keep remembering Mami's words, I will definitely cry again. No, I can't cry this morning because I have to go to school. Wulan Spirit. Wulan murmured in the heart.

Eagerly, Wulan got out of bed and went straight into the bathroom.

"For everyone..."

Eagerly, Damar who had finished preparing to leave for school came down and greeted everyone sitting at the dinner table.

"Morning, Honey. Let's eat your breakfast quickly. Later Mami's son can be late if it is too relaxed like this." replied Mala who smiled sweetly at the son.

"Ah, Mami is too much. It's still six o'clock, Mi. Adek had not yet come out of his room. Damar will leave with Adek and be escorted by Papi. Yes, it's Pi?" said Damar who relaxed without heeding the words of the mother then turned to look towards Dhana.

"Really, Honey. From this morning onwards, it will be Papi who will take you and pick you up to school. Let your Mami not be tired of going out to pick you up." replied Dhana who smiled at Damar while glancing at Mala.

Damar just nodded his head and smiled meaningfully at Dhana while enjoying breakfast. While Pak Aidi and Bu Aini who heard the words of his son can only look at each other, as if talking in the heart if they really understand the purpose of Dhana.

The resentment in Mala's heart towards her husband is now mounting. It was very desirable that he let out his emotions at this time even though in front of him there was now his father and mother-in-law. But Mala did not want to fight with Dhana in front of her son because she was afraid that Damar would turn to hate her.

Mala who felt annoyed also sighed violently, trying to control the turmoil of his heart that wanted to erupt at this moment as well. With that annoyance, Mala enjoyed breakfast which made her lose her appetite. But the woman's appetite was further slashed, as her eyes were fixed on the figure of the girl walking towards the dining table. The girl not only walked over, but also smiled at him.

"Darling..."

Dhana who occasionally glanced at his wife while enjoying breakfast also received a catch signal that is not good from the look on his face when looking at the stairs. And it turns out that Dhana's guess is right, if his wife is as usual, is putting a sour face on his daughter who just came down from the top floor.

"The son of Papi is tidy. Come sit down, you have to have breakfast first, honey. After that we just went to school. Papi will take you and Damar to school." said Dhana who smiled at the princess regardless of Mala's gaze.

At first glance Wulan turned towards Mala who chose to turn her face. He knew very well what the papi's intention was, and honestly Wulan felt bad to see the look on the face of the mami like that. But Wulan also can not persuade the papi if the decision is final.

Wulan sat down next to Damar and took her own food. Sometimes the little girl also turned to the mother who always turned her face, reluctant or even unwilling to see her imperfect self. Wulan's heart really hurt, it hurt more compared to the pain of being sliced by a sharp knife.

As long as Wulan stared at the mother, it would not soften her already hard heart. Mala remained indifferent as if she did not consider the existence of the princess. Sometimes Mala just turned her head towards Damar, stroking her son's face without caring about the princess's feelings.

Oh Allah... Suppose Mami's soft hands also caressed my head, my face, and my shoulders like that. My life will be so happy. I want nothing in this world, O God. I just want Mami to hug my body and kiss my face as much as possible when I leave for school. I just want Mami's love. I just want Mommy. Wulan murmured in the heart.

While putting food in his mouth, Wulan seemed to try hard to hold the clear grain that was about to fall. Swallowing food that looks very delicious but feels bitter when touching his tongue, along with swallowing the bitterness of the mother's attitude towards him. His heart ached, screaming loudly inside but held back from coming out. Wulan smiled wryly as her netranya who could only see the sweet treatment of the mother to Damar, not to her.

The little girl tried to cover it up from everyone. But Wulan's attitude did not escape the attention of Dhana and Damar. The two men of different generations were looking at each other wistfully when they realized Wulan's movements.

"room, Wulan... Come on, kid, we're leaving now. Papi is afraid that you will be late later if it takes too long to eat breakfast." said Dhana.

Without waiting for an answer from the two, Dhana moves on and takes a quick step before the princess' tears completely fall in the wrong place. Damar and Wulan followed the papi, treating their opa and oma alternately as a sign of devotion and respect for both. Then...

"The room to go to school is yes, Mi." said Damar while greeting the mami's hand.

"You be careful, honey. Later in the day Mami will cook another lunch for you." Mala replied as she stroked the son's face.

Damar just nodded his head and smiled bitterly, as if reluctant to answer the words of the mother. After saying goodbye, the man who was no less handsome than Dhana also moved, intending to give a gap to the sister who stood by his side since then to be able to greet the hand of the mother.

Wulan who is currently standing in front of the mother also commented on the smile, her hand was outstretched to reach the hand of the mother. But what did the poor girl get? Without guilt, Mala walked away from the dining room and climbed straight upstairs. Wulan could only smile bitterly, the hand that had been outstretched immediately fell helpless, feeling weak because it did not get a warm welcome from the mother.

Really cruel you, Mala. What kind of mother are you? When your own child wants to go to school and kiss your hand, you act like a kid like this. Oh Allah... How long will my daughter have to go through something so sad like this? I really can't afford to see her grieving because of her mother's protracted hatred. Dhana murmured in the heart.

Dhana's hands clenched firmly, trying to calm themselves so as not to get emotional because of seeing the wife's cold attitude to her daughter. Just like the papi, Damar is also his emotions. If not for remembering the morning, maybe Dhana will pursue Mala and quarrels will not be inevitable again.

Seeing the granddaughter who was silent on the spot, made Bu Aini's heart feel sore, as if slashed by a knife. In the morning atmosphere like this, there should be a speck of spirit for Wulan. But it doesn't seem like that speck would be real if Mala kept hating her own daughter.

Mr. Aidi who sat beside the wife also grabbed his hand and nodded, as if asking the wife to calm the heart of the grandson who always get cold treatment from his mother. Ms. Aini understood her husband's intentions, then she moved and embraced Wulan's almost unstable shoulder.

"Darling... Why dream, son? Let's go to school. Look, Papi and Damar are waiting for you." said Bu Aini who grabbed Wulan's shoulder and turned her body to look at Dhana and Damar.

Wulan who was lethargic and still sad just nodded slowly. Then he grabbed his beloved note that was perched pretty around his neck and wrote something down.

'Adek went to school first yes, Oma. Pray for Adek to live today and get through it smoothly. Come on, Mami yes, Oma. Adek dear Oma and Opa'

Wulan's hand was stretched out after tearing up a piece of note that he had just painted beautifully with short words. Bu Aini's smile expands when reading the writings of the grandson and then kissed him affectionately.

"Oma also loves Adek."

Ms. Aini also let out a long sigh as her eyes were still fixed on the child and her two grandchildren who were walking out of the house.

"Alright, Honey. They're gone and don't daydream. Come here, sit down again and accompany your husband to breakfast." said Mr. Aidi who teased the wife.

"Ck, you're all there. We are old. Don't tease me so much like a young man. Remember the age, baby!!!" replied Ma'am Aini who sat back at the dining table.

"Tempting your own wife doesn't have to look at age, darling. Let's eat some more. Your breakfast is not over yet" said Mr. Aidi, trying to comfort his wife who was sad because of Wulan.

Ms. Aini shook her head at the husband's words. Both of them continued to eat breakfast.

Drrr...

While Mr. Aidi and Ms. Aini were having breakfast together, Mr. Aidi suddenly felt his phone vibrating from his pocket. Without thinking anymore, Mr. Aidi immediately grabbed the bright flat object. Mr. Aidi's forehead shriveled for a moment when he found someone's name on his phone screen and immediately lifted it.

"Assalamualaikum Sadha's... What's up, son?"

It turned out that Mr. Aidi got a call from his middle son. They also spoke but immediately Pak Aidi's face suddenly pias. The middle-aged man's eyes widened instantly upon hearing the news from the son who was across the street. Mr. Aidi's hand weakened helplessly, drooping until his phone fell and surprised Ms. Aini who had been busy eating food since.

"What's up, Mom? Why is your face so tense?" asked Bu Aini while shaking the body of the husband.

The shaking of the wife's hand made her realize from a short daydream after hearing the news coming from Sadha. Mr. Aidi herded his eyes towards the wife who had demanded further explanation from him. His eyes were reddened and the pile of water was also clearly visible there, making the heart of a Bu Aini unsettled.

"Ammar... Ammar's in the hospital, honey."

The spoon in Bu Aini's hand fell down instantly when he got the news. Hurrying, he immediately moved, ran towards the room and came out again carrying a small bag.

"Let's go to the hospital now, Mas!"

Without thinking anymore, Mr. Aidi also moved and followed the wife who had run first out of the house. The peerless panic made them forget to tell Mala or leave a message to Bi Iyah. The two middle-aged men rushed away without giving anyone any news.

"Then Papi goes first. You must be enthusiastic and diligent in studying!!!"

Before leaving, Dhana who took her twins to the front of the school gate also commented a smile. A smile that would be a spark of enthusiasm for his two children, especially Wulan.

"Ready, Pi. Damar and Adek will be excited and it looks like Papi doesn't need to pick us up. Let Damar and Adek go home alone, Pi." replied Damar who was negotiating.

Dhana was silent for a moment, considering the son's request to go home alone with his sister. While Damar was seen struggling when the papi was silent, praying and hoping that the papi would give permission because he felt lazy if he had to be picked up continuously like an elementary school child.

"Alright, but you must take good care of Wulan!!! Papi trust your sister, completely the same as you and do not make Papi disappointed." said Dhana who pressed every word.

"Ready to be carried out by His Majesty King Dhana..."

Wulan giggled amusedly when she saw the funny behavior of her twin mas who was respectful firmly to the papi. Meanwhile, Dhana just shook her head the effects of being anxious to see the behavior of the son.

After laughing at Damar, Wulan moves forward to kiss Dhana's hand and is followed by Damar. Then they entered the gate after saying goodbye. Meanwhile, Dhana, the man also left his two children for school.

"Mas between Adek up to the class ya." said Damar while embracing the shoulder of the sister.

Wulan shook her head quickly, a sign of rejecting the request of the twins. Then the girl grabbed her little note and wrote something down on the grounds of rejection from him.

'No need, Mom. Mas Damar just went to class. We'll meet in the cafeteria'

Damar sighed as his eyes were able to pick up the rejection signal from his sister, plus again after receiving the note. As a bonus, the girl smiled sweetly trying to persuade the stubborn Damar.

"Alright, pretty. We will meet in the cafeteria. Be careful, if there's anything contact Mas!"

Wulan nodded in response to Damar who could be said to be overprotective towards her. After gently shuffling his sister's head, Damar and Wulan parted ways due to their unequal class. Wulan walks into her class, while Damar walks into the classroom.

"Room..."
