Bride Shadow

The morning dialogue

"Wife??" The eagle chuckled at it. He remained focused as if he had not responded to Mitha's words just now.

"Let's go." take the Eagle to Sindy who of course looks happy with her winning smile.

"Kak .." There is no word from either Sindy or the Eagle. It seemed like the two people had already considered Mitha an invisible astral creature.

"Sister..what time is it?" mitha asked weakly. He did not expect the Eagle to hear or answer. Suddenly the man stopped walking.

"As far as I am." she replied short without turning her head.

"But I want to talk to brother...."

"I'm busy."

"But it's about my graduation tomorrow."

"Don't spoil. You can leave or go home with bang Udin."

"But brother....." The eagle continued his steps accompanied by a figure of Sindy who again put a face cursive on him. Smirked cunningly then took the Eagle's arm away.

The roar of the car broke the silence, leaving Mitha who had burst onto the floor. For almost an hour he sat on the cold floor without thinking about anything, his soul empty. She couldn't have called her papa's mom and asked the two to come home just to attend her graduation. Destroying the therapy and a series of treatments the mother who has gone well. No. gabe...Mitha wasn't that selfish. Who will he ask? While Eagle, her brother and husband were already angry and did not care about her.

Trained, Mitha left the Eagle's study. Bring back food in a tray to the dining table.

"Non.." said Sri almost made the dreamy Mitha tiptoed in shock.

"Yes, mbak.."

"Didn't Lord Eagle have dinner with Sindy's mother?" Mitha shook her head uninspired.

"Sister went to Sindy's house."

"Yes understand non.again in love." reply mbak Sri while chuckling. Mitha simply lowered her face, lowering the tray to the table.

"Non..enggg...yet eat? mbak Sri looks a little thought considering her name, Mitha has not introduced herself directly to the woman in her late forties.

"My name is Mitha mbak. I'm still full."

"But non. said the Lord Eagle non Mitha had not eaten since lunch. It is better for non Mitha to eat first. Pity this meal is non." Suddenly Mitha remembered Maria's message to never waste food. Slowly he pulled up the chair and sat on it.

"Mbak Sri has eaten?"

"Then accompany me to eat" Mitha said as she patted the chair beside her. Ma'am Sri smiled rattly.

"I.I eat later behind the non." of course Sri refused. He knows enough about his position and the manners of a maid in his employer's house.

"Udah no papa kok mbak. My sister also cannot go home soon. We spent both. Adilted?" Sri has to comply. Clumsy he pulled the chair beside Mitha and sat there hesitating. It's his first day at work, but he eats alone with his employer.

"What does this have to do with bik Ijah?" mitha asked pleasantries because she did not want to be too quiet.

"I'm his sister mbak Ijah non. Meanwhile, Ijah has not been able to return because her husband's illness is getting worse. While bik Mun. may have been banned from returning by his son. It's old non." Mitha only listened while occasionally staring at Sri.

"Hmmm.yes already, I went upstairs first huh mbak. Sorry for not helping Sri clean up. I am so tired again. Do you know the room?" Indeed, not usually Mitha does not help tidy up the former dinner. So the son of a rich man does not make him immediately become lazy and always rely on helpers only.

"Already non. Room is very nice. Non Mitha just rest. It's my job already." reply mbak Sri kindly.

"Hopefully work here. Good night."

"God willing I am non. Good night too." Mitha then climbed up the stairs to her room with excited steps. A tired body is not a guarantee he will be able to sleep fast if you think it goes everywhere. If other students will be busy preparing for their graduation day and have fun, then he is the opposite.

Almost midnight. No sign of the eagle coming home. Mitha kept pacing around in her room, unable to sleep. Feelings of restlessness, uneasiness and anxiety mixed into one. Where is her husband? did they really go to Sindy's house to work? or somewhere else to spend the night together? dissolving in various wasangka shakhs, Mitha fell asleep on the long sofa in her room.

The chirping of birds perched between the branches of mango trees was unpretentious without stopping when Mitha was open her eyes. For a moment he blinked his eyes, glanced at the wall clock and bent and stretched his body. I don't know what time he fell asleep last night.

While coming out of her room after taking a morning shower and holding her black bag, Mitha passed by the Eagle who was also about to descend down. There was no question or greeting from the man to her. Mitha was disappointed again. If when the Eagle was a child did not care about him, he still accepted. But now? they are husband and wife, right?

"Sir .I'd like to talk for a minute." mitha asked before her man actually went down the stairs.

" Speak" said the Eagle sounding reluctant.

"Can you come to my graduation at noon?" The eagle turned around and looked at him sharply, making Mitha fall for it.

"You know, anyone who wants to see me or ask me for help has to make an appointment first. I don't like sudden things. And about your request, conclude my own answer." again cranky and cold.

"But I'm your wife's foot. At least you can replace papa mama when they're not around." Mitha's tone rose an octave because of it. Whatwasthat? making promises? aahh..last once!

"Wife? again you say that sentence without responsibility." a cynical smile graced the handsome face of the Eagle.

"What does big brother mean??!!"

"You call yourself a wife but never a wife of Paramitha. Think about it carefully." she said as she passed.
