Almira's Regret

Expelled by His Own Family

"I thought you were a good boy who never protested but it turns out you secretly made us ashamed of your pregnancy. You child don't know it's lucky" Ardan's hard drive once again landed on Mira's cheek and knocked her down.

Ardit who was about to help wake up her brother was immediately prevented by Ardan. "Leave it. This child will walk if he is well.

Mira got up and wiped her tears. "Okay I said I was wrong" cried Mira. "But don't forget this happened because of you too. I'm lonely. I live like an orphan even though I have parents. Where you as parents when your children need you. You are busy collecting money, money and money as if afraid to live hungry. You forget that you have a child who needs affection."

"Every night I have to hear yelling and insults coming from your mouth. You don't take into account my mental state." Mira vented all the anger that had been stored up. "I do need money, but what good is it all if there is no family romance. Luckily Ardit doesn't live here. He won't feel a burden like me."

"Shut up!!!"

"I'm not going to shut up, Pa. I need to talk to you to realize that I also need your affection and warm embrace. I need a mommy with papa I need a place to complain."

"But it doesn't have to be stupid, Mira." Dina spoke up.

"Enough-enough. Tell me who the hell is that guy? Where's she?" ask Ardan.

Mira shook her head, "I don't know where she is, Pa. I've searched and contacted him but I didn't find him."

Ardan rubbed his face rough, "stupid." He went back to snarling Mira. "You think it's easy raising a child by yourself, Mira? No, it's not easy even we failed to raise you."

"I have to, Pa." Mira looked at the father, hoping that the man would come up with a good solution for his condition.

"Evocate that content!"

"No," Mira looked at the father's face fixedly. How could the man so desperately ask him to kill his own flesh and blood. Although the presence of her fetus is undesirable but Mira does not want to make a fatal mistake for the second time. "I wouldn't do that, Pa. Let me take care of her and raise her. He did not have to endure the pain of my stupidity" Mira said with tears in her eyes.

"You want this family to be looked down upon by relatives and neighbors, huh? Don't fool Mira into keeping that fetus without a husband is the same as you humiliating us slowly. I'm trying to find money to be looked at by them again. But because of your efforts I will be in vain, Miraaa!!!!"

"Father!" Ardit doesn't like to hear Ardan's words.

"So that's what papa thought. Money, money and money. I don't need the money you're looking for."

Ardan's emotions didn't subside in the slightest. "Look Dina, if you listen to me, this disgrace will not happen. Look at the boy now! Looky!" Ardan shouted in anger at his wife.

"You're blaming me Ardan? Don't mind you, if you're good at taking care of business, I won't work." Dina doesn't want to be blamed.

"Enough! I don't need your money" said Mira.

Ardan approaches Miri and blocks Mira's jaw. "No need? you don't need the money I collected, do you? You don't need that, do you? Get out of my house now." Ardan blew Mira so hard. "Go, never come back. From today I don't have a daughter named Mira."

"Pa, papa is aware of not what papa said. Mira needs us." Ardit is talking.

"He doesn't need us, go you Mira. Whatever you want to live like, even being a prostitute I don't care. You'll know how hard it is to make money." Ardan turned his face not looking at Mira.

"Ok, I'm going to go and raise this kid. I don't need your intervention. I am not afraid of living a single life. May Mr. Ardan be happy with the money." Mira took her bag and left them.

"Let her go to Ardit. No one's coming after him."

Mira does not care about the words of her sister, she continues to step up carrying the pain of her own actions. Mira intercepted the taxi that was passing by. He no longer glanced at the house that had always been his shelter.

Ardit catches up with Mira, but her brother is no longer around their house. "Aaaaaaaahhhhh," shouted Ardit.

Dina only cried but did not prevent her daughter from leaving. While Ardan punched the wall as a form of anger overflow.

"Where are you going, Neng?" ask the taxi driver.

"Stop there sir."

A taxi stopped in front of a bank. After paying Mira immediately go down and enter the ATM counter. He can't be stupid a second time. He has been expelled by his father so he will withdraw money from the ATM card given by his father.

"I'm sorry I need your money to last a while." Mira withdraws the money in a matter of 10 million but when it will withdraw again, the ATM card is no longer usable.

Ardan immediately asked the bank to block the ATM card given to Mira.

"No problem, I'll hang on with this kind of money." Mira put the money in the bag. He walked down the sidewalk on a freight ride one then got off and changed again. I don't know where he'll step even when it's dark and the sound of Adhan starts to roar.

The traffic of people towards the mosque caught Mira's attention. He also stepped foot into the luxurious magnificent building. Mira bowed her face, embarrassed to say she hated God.

"Sorry, sorry." A woman hit Mira.

"Oh yes,"

"Want to go to the mosque too?" ask the woman.

"I am ashamed to have to see God when my life is in trouble."

The woman who hit Mira smiled. "That's exactly it, Ma'am. Perhaps God was longing for his servant, so he put the test on him to come to meet."

"But I'm ashamed." Mira humps her face.

"God never shamed his servant, even so well that Allah covered the Aib of every servant. Unless the man opens it. Come on, Ma'am."

In the end, despite his doubts, he entered the mosque. Take ablution and join the congregation. In the last rakaat Mira shed her tears, complaining all lara was asking for forgiveness.

Mira felt calm after shedding her tears in the house of God. He wiped away the rest of the tears and re-established the determination that he was able to stand up again. No matter how much he falls . He believes God exists and will always be there for every creature in need.
