Trapped by Free Communion
Chapter 35 Stepping Alone

That afternoon, the sky was overcast accompanying the departure of one by one people from the front of Mutia

Rain spots drenched his face which a while later let out tears

It felt claustrophobic and unbecoming, especially when he saw Adelio being taken away by his mother, but Mutia tried to keep looking tough and sincere because this was her own choice.

"Mutiya..." Lirih Miko who looks like she is still there

Mutia turned to look at that sad face with mixed feelings, between sad and angry.

"I'm sorry, thank you for not telling my mom about me..." Miko gulped, afraid to continue her words because not far from there, her two parents were watching them

"I want to hug you one last time, okay?"

Mutia nodded and tears fell on her cheeks, even though Mutia wanted a farewell did not mean she stopped loving Miko.

For her all her heart is still controlled by Miko, but with her no longer makes her happy.

Miko hugged her affectionately "Sorry I'm Mutia"

Mutia neither nodded nor gave an answer.

"I know you're still angry, but one day I hope you'll apologize to me" Miko smiled knots and then moved on after shuffling the top of Mutia's head.

The back moved slowly from before Mutia

The back where Mutia once put her hope and the back where her shelter.

Mutia's feet were about to move in pursuit of Miko, but another voice inside her forbade her to move.

Nay! It's all over.

And slowly, rain fell all over her body that was still fluttering in the parking lot

Mutia never thought that her relationship with Miko would run aground like this, could she stand alone and pursue her dream?

Mutia did not know what happened after her, she could only try to prove to everyone she had made disappointed.

**

The first days without Adelio and Miko became very difficult for Mutia

Everything was bland and every time Mutia was pensive she would cry

This loneliness, this longing, as if to kill him slowly, but Mutia will still survive

As much as possible he tried to ignore the voices inside him who wanted him to go to Jakarta, meet adelio and give Miko an apology and repeat everything from the beginning again.

It felt... Stifling, Mutia then took a breath and exhaled slowly.

Crying is useless, life will go on

Now that time has become so precious to her, Mutia will not waste her time on something in vain and she must focus on her goals and her dreams.

He then stood up and took his bag and moved with confidence

"Mutia?" The voice greeted him as he passed through the hallway of the apartment

"Ja." said Mutia and threw a faint smile

"Excite ya! Gua is sure Lo can definitely pass all this!" The king shouted while clenching one hand upwards

Mutia nodded steadily "yes, thank you ja, you've always been there and gave me encouragement when I had a problem"

The king smiled widely and exhaled a long breath, in his heart he promised he would always be there for Mutia.

Seeing Mutia grieving, her heart also grieves and Mutia is like a new source of happiness for her

Although the king had yet to understand what kind of feelings he had been keeping all this time towards Mutia, was it just sheer sympathy or had even implicated his heart? The king will always be there for him, not knowing until when.....

"Ma, Adelio looks like Kansa huh? His eyes are round like a ping pong ball" Kansa comments while accompanying his mother cradling adelio nimang in the yard in the afternoon.

Amira no longer cares about the gaze or thoughts of her neighbors about the adelio who now lives with her

Amira tries sincerely through everything, for him the most important thing is that adelio must get all the affection that he can not get from both parents at one time.

It's been almost two weeks and Miko has only once come to meet adelio, Amira is not out of thought because of the distance of their house close by.

To her knowledge, Miko has not attended school since returning to Jakarta

Once Amira came to her house while carrying a crying adelio, but Sera actually told her that Miko was sick and could not be disturbed, feeling it was just an excuse, amira never asked Miko to meet Adelio again.

"Yes, very similar to you, the nose is also similar" said Amir while looking at the face of Adelio who just silently stared at him

"Ma, when will Mutia come home?"

There was a stiff face when the question was thrown "Hm, later if Mutia's sister has finished school in Bandung"

"Kok, Mutia didn't go to school here? Poor thing he's alone there, isn't he the same with us?"

Amira smiled "Ya Kangen dong dear, but Mutia's brother will have to go to school first, later if it's finished then we can get together again here"

"Oh, Hmm, okay"

Her hair no longer looked well groomed and also with her eye bags that now seemed clear, not as usual

"Sera, what's wrong with you?"

"Bak help me, Miko again friday, no one's home, help me mbak!"

"What do you mean, how do I say?"

Sera seemed reluctant to answer "Later to tell mbak, there is no agy at home? We need to calm down Miko!"

"Dance, please call Brother!"

"Yes ma!" Kansa then ran into the house

Before long agy came up with a astonished face "Why ma?"

"Agy, please Auntie! Miko Kumat, om Adi again outside the city, Auntie does not know how to do" said Sera frustrated

"Why Miko Aunty?"

"You see for yourself at home!"

Sera turned around and walked quickly to her house across the street and was followed by Amira and Agy.

Upon arrival inside the house, they heard the sound of people shouting for help, the closer the sound became clearer and the door of the room was also in the gedor-gedor from inside

"Ma! Open Ma! Miko is going to Bandung! Please open the door ma!"

"Miko why Auntie?" Agy asked astonished to hear Miko like a stressed person

Sera squeezed her fingers restlessly and said "Miko, Miko.... Sakau Gi's"

Amira and Agy were shocked to hear the confession

"Miko, what's Aunt?"

"He said, almost five months this he consumed meth" Sera replied in between crying Isak

"Geez, are you really Sera?" Amira clenched Adelio's body tightly

Sera nodded "You also just found out yesterday shortly after returning from Bandung, Miko was very addicted so every time she dropped off the drug, she would get angry, cry, and cry, even hurt yourself and like to damage things at home".

Amira and Agy looked at each other for a while, despite having felt angry with Sera's haughty and selfish attitude all this time, but knew the facts with what happened to Miko, it makes them sad and sympathetic.

However, they have known Miko from childhood and their relationship has been quite good all along.

Agy moved closer to the door because he did not hear Miko's voice anymore, in the turn of the key and then opened the door a little, or Miko lunged at him, he said, was about to run away but fortunately agy moved quickly pulled him back into the room.

"Take me off! Release me!" Shouted Miko and desperately trying to get rid of agy from his presence.

"Sorry ko, but Lo can't go in a gini-rich state" agy stretched out his hands

"Why? What business do you forbid me! Who am I, huh?!"

Those eyes bulged furiously and his neck veins were clear, his hands clenched tightly and his aura was truly terrifying

"Lo adek me and I care the same Lo"

Suddenly Miko's emotions evaporate out of nowhere, she suddenly sits limp and hugs agy's knees and cries

"Bang help me bang! I have to go, I can't get rich gini keep bang"

Sera's heart was saddened to see how Koko begged like that, her tears kept flowing, and never thought that Miko would be like this.

"Lo must fight that feeling! You can't keep using that illegal stuff! Remember Lo has parents who love Lo and also adelio who need Lo!"

Miko let go of agy's legs and cried roaring, then she crawled to the bed and squeezed the sheets that had been messed up due to her anger some time ago

Can agy see Miko who is trying to fight the taste of the sakau, Before long Miko did not move

Agy approaches and corrects his sleeping position, Miko is exhausted from yelling and trying to escape from her room.

"Why isn't Miko rehabilitated by Auntie?" Ask agy then

"Yes agy, the plan is that, but wait for his papa to come home first, there is still an urgent job outside the city"

"Faster is better Auntie, kasian miko if diibiarin long-time rich that"

"Yes gi, thank you, you have helped Aunt to nenangin Miko" Sera hugged Agy briefly

"Yes aunty together" replied Agy

Amira rubs Sera's back slowly and then says "patience yes, ser"

And Sera hugged Amira and cried as a result of her regret.

"Mom, I'm sorry? I'm so mean to you, it's a punishment for me"

"Don't say that, you're never evil, where there's a bad sister like her own sister, you're a mother, you want the best for her child"

Sera was speechless, she only cried regretting her attitude all along towards the Mutia family.
