Between Me, My Beloved And Her Friend

Chapter 29. Adel's Grief

The main event, the engagement between Citra and Daffa, has not yet begun. Still an entertainment event from friends of the school who donated their voices.

Indeed, this event is all Citra and Daffa graduation party. So school friends are almost all invited.

The image that Adel saw came with Mika whispering something to her mother's ears..

"Ma. see the girl who just came in wearing a black dress, it's Adel. I deliberately invited her as my mother said, so that she would know herself and stay away from Daffa after witnessing our engagement"

"Adel.. You mean Adelia it. "pointing mama Ayu towards her biological daughter..

"Yes ma.. she is the girl Daffa loves.do you know her name is Adelia"

"Wasn't she the champion of that class, you remember.. "

"Yes. ma. I hate him so much. I just want to kill him. "citra growls.

"You can't do it. It's a criminal act "

"Ma. I couldn't have killed him either. I just wanted to teach him a little lesson if he was still in contact with Daffa.. "

"I'm sorry Adel's mom, I don't know if you're Daffa's girlfriend. If you know you're the woman Citra means, surely you're trying to break this engagement. You're so pretty tonight, baby. I want my mom to hold you... "

The host asked Mika to donate her voice.

"Am I allowed to go on stage.You're okay here by yourself." asked Mika.

"Well, I want to hear your voice" too"

"Then you stay here, don't go where"

"OK. don't be afraid "

Mika walked towards the stage. All the schoolmates knew that if Mika had a golden voice, she was asked to donate a song.

Mika sat in a chair and held a guitar..

"Good night everyone. I want to perform a song called PAINTING DUSK for someone there... "Mika pointed towards Rainbow making all her friends look towards Adel

The image and the daffa who was still sitting with his extended family also looked towards the Rainbow.

Mika started strumming her guitar and playing her sweet voice..

I got it

The journey you are now going through

I hope

Although heavy, you don't feel alone.

You've been fighting

conquering your day is not easy

Let me keep you company

wash your tired

Let me paint twilight

Carve your name there

heard you tell a story

Crying, laughing

Let me paint the night

Your friend's hurt

Until you're happy

I'm right here

If you are tired, try again, do not stop

I hope

Although heavy, you don't feel alone*

Adel who heard Mika's song unconsciously cried.

"Thank you Mika. You are always there to comfort me when I am alone and sad"

"Thank you. "said Mika after performing the song.

Mika approaches Adel,

"You're crying, why" asked Mika saw Adel rubbing her watery eyes.

"Mika. I'm happy to meet you and your mother.You are the place where I lean and tell all my sorrow"

"I want. From this day on you never feel alone.never be sad.. "

"Thank you, Mik... "

The host announced that Citra and Daffa's engagement will begin. Both families were asked to take to the stage.

Adel saw his mother accompanying Citra and attached the engagement ring to Daffa's finger. Adel felt her chest tight at that.

His sadness to see Daffa and Citra officially engaged, not as sad and painful as seeing his biological mother accompany the daughter of people when engaged.

"When I get engaged one day, my mom will come with me... "

Adel could not hold tight in his chest. It hurts. He ran out of the room. Mika's after.

Mama who happened to see Adel running, got off the stage. He was looking for Adel's whereabouts.he wanted to hug his daughter. He knew for sure his daughter was sad at this time.

"Adel.. cry. Don't hold it" Mika said.

"Well, there's still happiness for me"

"Why do you say that... Daffa does not deserve your cry. Losers like him are too valuable for you to cry... "

"Mika. I admit I was sad to see the engagement of Citra and Daffa. but that is not what stifles her chest. I. I. envy seeing Citra... why he got love from mom I never found"

"You mean what Adel" asked Mika pura not knowing

"Mika.. mama Citra is my real mama..why only Citra given happiness.he found all the love of mama.. I just want you to acknowledge me, ask me. I won't ask you to come back, because I know your happiness isn't beside me... but should I not ask for a little love and attention from my mother, and you see, from today Daffa love has also moved to Citra... why does everyone I love turn to love Citra..."

"Adel. they just don't know how valuable you are. I'm sure one day after they realize how much you deserve to be loved. Your mama and Daffa will regret for leaving you... "

From the hidden place of Mama Ayu, hearing all the conversations of Adel and Mika. He cried hearing it.

"I'm sorry dear mama.mama never want to seize your happiness with Daffa.mama betrothed Daffa and Citra because you know, Citra loves Daffa... mama won't match them. I'm sorry that Mama came back to hurt you. Mama also loves you. Mama never forgets you. but mama has not dared to meet you because mama is afraid you can not accept the presence of mama"

"We should just go home.forget everything that hurts." said Mika and took Adel to take her out of the hotel.
