Almira's Regret

Small hope

Fahmi who returned to deliver groceries that would definitely be needed by Mira had to see the woman crying in a corner of the room.

His body shook while immersing his face between the bent knees. He approached and sat down next to Mira rubbing the head that had been wearing a veil. Earlier this morning the woman said that Adelia wanted to try to improve herself by telling her aurat. Adelia was happy to give the veil and the gown is still worth using. Fahmi offers to buy new clothes but Mira refuses.

"Dec Mira? Hey what makes Dek Mira cry?"

Realizing that there was Fahmi Mira immediately wiped the rest of her tears. He pulled his lips to form a smile then shook his head as if he was fine.

"Keep why you should cry. If Dek Mira feels alone here, come with me home. I don't mind Dek Mira staying with us."

"I'm .. I just miss my sister, Doc. But luckily he's back at the cottage."

Fahmi nodded, really he could not imagine how miserable the children who experienced the same thing as Mira. Not a few of those who were not strong with the mental burden borne chose shortcuts. One of them jumped from a height.

In his match Mira did look calm but it turns out the contents of his head as loud as that.

"Doctor's back again?" tanya Mira saa was already completely in a state of calm.

"I need food for you." Look at some of the car bags near the door.

"Geez I'm a hassle" said Mira and immediately rose to clean up the groceries Fahmi brought.

Although it looks calm, Fahmi does not immediately leave Mira. Again this action is not because it has bad intentions or self-interest but purely out of compassion.

"Daddy, can I help you find that guy?"

Mira who was focusing on her activities turned her head. With a smile she refused, "no need, Doc. I'll look for it in a certain time."

"If you can't find it?" ask Fahmi carefully.

"I'll stop, I won't look for him anymore. Let him live as he wants. Someday, maybe or not he'll be looking for this kid when he needs it."

"You're a great girl" praised Fahmi for encouraging Mira. At least that's what he can do, keep Mira mentally with soothing sentences, and put the spirit in Mira.

Fahmi pampit home when he felt it was enough to accompany Mira. When he left, Fahmi made sure Mira was okay.

"Thank you for helping me, Doc" Mira said as she reached the door.

"Whoever does not do the same when he sees his brother or sister in Dek Mira. I'm saying yes." The man headed for the car but turned back after opening the door. "Don't say you need something."

Mira begins solitude no longer by lamenting and regretting. He began to grow out of the small things. Wake up early, prepare breakfast even if only warm rice and eggs. Certain days he would revisit the places where he met Dion. But for a month he had not found it.

Today Mira came to Fahmi's house. The person he was aiming for was Syafa. Syafa was raised by two people. The influence did not mind because with the Mira his duty became light. Shafa's more tacky attitude to Mira did not make the woman feel envious, anyway her salary remained the same. Not reduced at all.

"Dor," Adelia surprises Fahmi. "Cie again smile-smile menghatin future wife. It's the same with Syafa," seduced the sister with a witty smile.

"Your habits are main fitology. It doesn't suit you to be a psychologist later."

"That's a guy I'm just flirting with, Mom. You don't need any more women in your life, Mas. Pollen isn't piled up?" Adelia smothered her because of her fling again.

"Adel?" Fahmi looked at the sharp sister, not liking Adel's sentence that was too frontal. Not once did his sister say that twice, Fahmi was worried that his sister would say that to others. Surely others can think no-no about the younger brother.

"Maas ...." Adel felt guilty at his last sentence.

"It's not the first time you've said that. Fear that it will become your habit. Stop saying things like that. Don't be told to say that even if it's just a guyonan."

"I'm sorry, I was just kidding." Adel did not dare to return the sharp gaze of the older brother.

"Pardon me, but next time find the right sentence." Fahmi returned to his friendly face. Adel hugged his brother. Fahmi's anger is scary but not for long.

"Mass?"

"Yes?"

"I wonder why I'm not looking for another woman to add color to the life of Mas and Syafa. I pity to see Mas, working to take care of Syafa to manage the household finances must be very heavy. Do you need a friend to release stress hormones? Can't I move on from Silvi? Sister Silvi herself can loh, even one year after your divorce occurred."

"It's not hard to move on, Dek but how to explain it. The man is difficult to find a woman who can accept his status. Especially when the widow is having children."

"That's not hard, it's the one who doesn't open your heart. Many want to be the same as men. (This author is an example). Bringing a child will not be a problem either. Syafa has been able to compromise if he is a good boy. The woman who got the mas was lucky. Handsome, well-established, well plus there's her son," mussy Mira at the end of the sentence. "Are you waiting for Mira?"

"Well, how about Mira?"

"I see that concern for him. Mas also often watch him secretly right, while smiling like that. Come on," todong Adel.

"Salah, Mas not only paid attention to the deck of Mira but also paid attention to Syafa. Deck Mira is also a lot of changes now. Smile more and talk more, even with Syafa. How did Mira progress while studying?"

"That's kind of attention from Mira. I was just doing it."

Since she became acquainted with Adelia and her family, there is indeed much that Mira did for her. One of them is never absent to learn to teach. When the schedule to study with an ustadzah brought by Fahmi for his sister, Mira always present early. He asked a lot of Islamic laws that became guidelines. He always found peace after studying.

The person Fahmi and Adelia were talking about turned to them because Syafa called her father.

Their gazes met but this time it was Mira who first subdued her gaze. He has made it hard for her to not fall in love again. Other than due to the self-improvement intent, Dion's name still occupied a huge space in his heart. There's still a little hope Dion will return. Whatever the expectation is still expected even though the possibility is very small.
