A Handful of Homes for Mikayla

INNER BOND

Happy Reading

Mentari looks back at the place of the contest, the sky changed twilight. Time continued to run until the sky was completely dark until it revealed the brilliance of stars scattered over the sky.

In a mansion more precisely at the dining table, the middle gathered three adults who were sitting quietly. As usual, they had only three dinners since the last five years.

"When did your college start?" Ask Daddy Jackson.

"Next week, Dad." Mikayla answered briefly.

"Then, when are you going to start interning at Uncle Sky's company?" Ask Daddy Jackson again.

"Tomorrow, Dad." Mikayla answered briefly back.

"Oh," Dady Jackson was just a jolly.

Mommy Star who heard the conversation only held back her laughter, she glanced at the husband who seemed to be hoping to be asked a question by Mikayla. Especially the husband who is closer to the princess than Luis.

"Do you like the food?" Ask Daddy Jackson again.

"Like, Dad." Mikayla answered again briefly.

Daddy Jackson keeps asking Mikayla questions, and she hasn't even touched her dinner yet. Until Mika let out a long sigh, she turned towards Daddy Jackson who was looking at her with an innocent face.

"Oh, sorry Dad. Mika's just tired, so sorry." Said Mikayla who now moved from her seat and hugged Daddy Jackson.

Daddy Jackson and Mommy Star just smile because Mika is still a sensitive child, "No problem, baby." Answer Daddy Jackson.

"Alright, Dad ... Moms. Mika went upstairs first because tomorrow morning Mika has to go to the office." Mika said to her parents.

"Okay, for the first day Daddy's going between work." Daddy Jackson replied by pinching the child's nose.

"Ready! Good night everyone." Mika said by kissing both cheeks of her parents before going up to the second floor.

Daddy Jackson and Mommy Star just smiled at the back of his daughter who is now an adult, Daddy Jackson stroked the back of his hand as if both were wishing the best for the happiness of their two children.

"Let's eat, baby." Bring Mommy Star to her husband.

"Boat." Daddy Jackson replied spoiledly.

Mommy Star just laughs but takes over the plate that is in front of her husband, they live happily even though the journey of love both also not easy starting from the intelligent mission of falling in love.

While in the room, Mika immediately locked the door of her room from inside. She walks in one corner to turn off the headlights and leaving only the sleeping lights on either side of her bed, Mika slowly walks up and climbs to her place of contention.

He lay down tilting his body, reaching for the device that was on the nightstand. His fingers playing on his cell phone screen he opened a photo gallery, again looking at the photo Nathan he secretly took from the side.

Although the distance is quite far, Mika still very memorized how the husband's face. "Are you still my husband or am I a widow?" Mikayla said quietly with an intense look at Nathan's photo.

Mikayla's eyes slowly closed with the phone screen still on, a smile, and a sense of relief accompanied Mikayla to her dreamland. On the other hand, Nathan held onto his chest which suddenly thumped violently.

"Why with my heart, why did I become this erratic pounding." Nathan said with a confused face.

Kinan who saw the older brother just standing by leaning against the wall immediately put down the bowl he was carrying, immediately he ran towards his older brother.

"Sister why? Is anyone sick?" Ask Kinnie in a panic.

Nathan raised his gaze, he looked at Kinan who was now faintly turning into Mikayla's face. "Mika," Call Nathan with two teary eyes.

Kinan who heard Nathan call her Mikayla became confused, "Sister, it's me Kinan." He shook Nathan's shoulders.

As soon as Nathan regained his senses, he rubbed his wet eyes. "Let's eat," Nathan immediately passed from Kinan's presence and walked towards the dining table.

Kinan twisted his body and looked at the older brother who was now sitting in the dining chair, "I'm sorry Kinan, sis." said Kinanti from the heart.

"Come here, why just stand there!" Nathan called his sister.

Kinan smiled and started to step up to Nathan, "Yes, be patient." Her speech.

It looks like the two brothers who love each other, Kinan painstakingly took dinner for his brother. The food on the table also looked simple, as neither Kinan nor Nathan were any good at cooking.

"How are you, Mama?" Nathan asked in between his dinners.

"Okay, brother just go home for a day." Kinan replied with a sad face.

Nathan just smiled bitterly, he still remembered how his parents were so angry with him. Even everyone who knew Mikayla was his wife also judged and blamed her, because she was Mikayla until she died in school.

"When is it." Nathan said that feed the food back.

"Didn't you feel sorry for Mama, if you could see me every day." Kinan said by playing the food inside the plate.

"Sister is done eating, just put everything on the table. Tomorrow you'll clean it up." Nathan finished his dinner, he immediately fell out of his seat and walked to the main room.

"Sister!" Kinan.

Nathan does not make the Kinan call, he immediately closes the door and locks it from the inside. Nathan immediately turned off the headlights and laid his body on the bed, in the dim light of the sleeping lamp a tear came down from the corner of Nathan's eye.

Slowly there was the sound of sobs from the handsome man who had now changed his sleeping position, Nathan slept coiled like a cat. Hugging both of her knees in tears, a feeling of tightness within her chest could never be lifted alone.

Kinan who was right in front of Nathan's room was only able to cry in silence, wanting him to shout saying if Mikayla was still alive and now back to Indonesia. But Kinan remembered between his agreement with Luis, so that until this moment he was only able to look at the suffering of his brother.

Kinan finally let Nathan let out his grief, he walked over to the dinner table and cleaned up the rest of their dinner. Put the remaining vegetables into the refrigerator after storing them in the lunch box which he then recommends washing all the dishes.

Until in the minimalist apartment was heard two different sounds, the sound of sobbing mixed with the sound of plates and water flowing from the faucets decorating the night Nathan and Kinan.
