Episode 73

Sean snapped out of his mouth, his forehead frowning, just to restore his consciousness. Sean looked at the watch on his left hand, it's early morning.

He fell asleep while accompanying Megi to sleep earlier, Sean sighed and rubbed his face rough. Shifted the head of Megi who was currently asleep with his arms.

Sean stroked Megi's head, raising the blanket to Megi's chest. Sean got up and went back to work behind his flat screen.

Until the dawn of Adhan stopped all his activities. Sean takes care of his work and prepares to spur his vehicle back into his routine.

Sean stroked Megi's head gently, kissing Megi's cheek which was currently sleeping soundly.

"Gue is gone, dear." whispered in Megi's left ear who was currently sleeping behind him.

Ting...

The doorbell of the mansion of Rayen's residence reads, it has been a third call but the residents of this big house no one has come out.

Megi sighed, he tidied his strands of hair that had been messy because the wind was blowing a little louder than usual.

Ting...

Megi pressed the doorbell back. After waiting for some time, there was the sound of the doorknob opening.

"Megi." said someone cheerfully behind the door.

"Let's go in." he ordered with a happy smile.

Megi grabbed Miranda's hand, kissing the back of her hand before stepping her foot inside.

"You alone?" ask Miranda while embracing Megi's shoulder inside.

"Yes, Sean's brother has a job west of town" Megi replied with a smile.

"You're lonely, if you're lonely, just play here. Sean can never be prevented, if the business he has handled, he can forget everything."

"Gee ... What's this fragrant cuisine, Ma? how yummy?" ask Megi enthusiastically.

"Oh my goodness, until I forget. Mama's cooking in the kitchen, Mama's staying for a while" said Miranda walking away from Megi herself.

"Ehm, Ma." call Megi to stop Miranda's footsteps.

"Yes." Yeah."

"I helped my mom cook."

"Hem, I can." Miranda replied with a smile.

Megi and Miranda are engrossed in chatting while cooking some food for lunch.

Since Rena went to prison, Miranda more often struggling in the kitchen just to find busy so as not to return sad.

There has been a lot that happened in his life, Miranda also can not continue to mourn his fate.

It was fortunate that Megi was still willing to set foot after what Rena had done to him. Like never having a grudge. Megi was a very kind girl.

"Megi." call Miranda in the middle of their busy kitchen.

"Yes, Ma."

"She heard he said you want to go back to Beijing, right?" ask Miranda carefully.

For a moment the activity of Megi's hand that was slicing carrots stopped. He turned his head to look at Miranda who was currently cooking behind him.

"San's brother told you, Ma?" ask Megi.

"Sean said, when Mika comes back, she'll take you back to Beijing."

"Yes, Ma. Megi will go to Beijing to continue Megi's lecture, Ma." Megi replied sadly.

Miranda sighed, she placed her cooking spoon and drew closer to Megi. Pulling Megi's head to rest him on his chest.

"Mama hopes that you will still be the daughter-in-law of this family, Megi" Miranda said as she stroked Megi's back.

"Can't Mama, persuade Sean to keep me here?"

Miranda took a deep breath, divorcing Megi's embrace.

"Sean knows what she's doing, Megi. Whatever it is, it must be for your own good." Miranda replied soothingly.

"Eh." Megi nodded his head.

Miranda wiped away the corner of her slightly watery eyes. Let go of his embrace and go back to the tenpat he cooked.

Megi pulls Miranda's wrist, before Miranda can leave.

"Ma," call Megi softly.

"Can you hold me a little longer?" ask Megi.

"For so long, I've never felt the warm embrace of a mother" she continued by bending her gaze slowly.

Miranda smiled wryly, she hugged Megi's tiny body back tightly. This time Miranda's embrace was countered by Megi, tighter.

"Hug as long as you want, dear" said Miranda Parau.

Slowly Megi's body began to tremble, crying deeper and deeper. Warm embrace Miranda, making him realize, that Sean has brought something very valuable in his life.

Is he too selfish to stay by Sean's side? he's got everything he's never gotten all this time. Would he be greedy, if he wanted to keep all this.

"You're an amazing girl Megi, Mama would be so proud if you were a daughter born from your womb" Miranda said, stroking Megi's back.

"I love Mama, like my own Mama" Megi replied in his voice.

For a while, Miranda let Megi dissolve in her cries. After a slight improvement, Miranda let her arms loose and expired the rest of Megi's tears.

"Until anytime, Megi. Mama will still be your Mama" Miranda said as she grabbed Megi's hands.

"You're Mama's daughter, not Mama's daughter-in-law. Whenever you miss, you have to meet Mama, yes." said Miranda back, he kissed the two fingers Megi that he held earlier.

Megi grunts her smile, although while smiling her tears still drip down profusely.

"Emh." Megi replied while nodding resignedly.

Miranda smiled, she tidied up the strands of Megi's hair that covered part of her face. Pull Megi's head and kiss Megi's forehead gently.

"Don't cry anymore girl. You'll be gone."

Megi let go of his bitter laughter upon hearing Miranda's words. They went back to the kitchen, preparing their lunch together.

"Hah, it's finally finished as well" Miranda said as she placed the last dish on the dining table.

"Mom, we cook this much who wants to eat?" megi asked as he looked at the dining table full of different types of cuisine.

"Yes" answered Miranda, looking back at the dishes that filled her large dining table.

"Finally Mama Seneng can cook with you. So until you forget." replied Miranda while pulling one of the chairs at the dining table.

"Mom I take ya eat."

"Can."

"Which one would you like to eat?"

"Hem, which is where. Must be good."

Megi swiftly took the plate and filled the plate with some dishes that he had cooked earlier.

"Meg."

"Yes." Yeah."

"As long as Sean's not here, you'll stay at your mom's house."

"Ehm" Megi scratched the nape of his neck. "Where is Ma? it doesn't seem like it's necessary to Ma." reject Megi gently.

"Loh why? than you're lonely alone in a hotel. Here it is no less comfortable the same in the hotel or in the apartment." refer Miranda back.

"That's not Ma's problem" Megi replied.

"So what? Sean isn't your izini? let Mama ask."

"It's not Ma, Sean's brother even told me to stay here nemen Mama."

"There's no problem dong."

"Hem, the problem is, Ma." said Megi a little afraid.

"What's? what's the problem again?"

"That problem, I ... I.." answered Megi.

Megi cast his gaze towards Miranda who was in front of him. Miranda only looked at Megi with a confused look.

"I, I.." Megi hung up the sentence.

"It's still a little scared of Papa Rayen" she said softly, her lips quivering as she said the word.

"What's? why can?" ask Miranda not to believe it.

"I don't know, Ma. I'm just scared."

Miranda let go of her smile and shook her head resignedly. Not expecting, Megi is able to fight Sean but I fear Rayen who is nothing compared to Sean.

"Papa Rayen is not a bad man, Megi. You don't have to be afraid of Papa Rayen."

In the middle of the conversation the two of them, without them noticing there was a footstep that was currently coming closer.

"I know Ma, Papa Rayen is not a bad person. But I also don't know why, at the hotel, if Papa Rayen hits me, even breathing is hard."

"nurtau ... Ha ha ha." Miranda's laughter exploded.

"You're scared because you've seen Papa Rayen talking to Sean?"

"I feel like hearing Papa Rayen's voice is like hearing a voice..."

"What sound?" connect a man with his bass voice.

Megi instantly dropped the plate in his hand when he heard the voice reconnect his words. His eyes were perfectly rounded when he saw the man in front of him.
