Bride Shadow

Poolside

"Fired Sindy as your secretary" Mitha said with a serious face.

"But why?" ask her back with a flat face. He had not expected Mitha to say such absurd terms to him at all. As a member of the family Abiman Mitha is very familiar if no one mixes personal problems with work affairs in their family.

"Because I don't like him." The eagle looked at him sharply.

"Mitha.it's about work. You know if...."

"I know mas. Sorry." cut Mitha fast. He knew that the Eagle must have refused his request. He didn't expect much from that either.

"Can we sleep now? I'm tired." said Mitha while laying down.

"You angry?"

"No."

"Then why are you trying to avoid me?"

"Avoiding you how? I am so tired. My head feels uncomfortable too."

"All right, we'll talk again tomorrow." The eagle pulled the blanket over her body as well Mitha then tried to sleep. Something stuck in his mind because their conversation was still hanging. But to force Mitha to keep talking also felt inhumane. His wife was really tired and fell asleep in just a few splashes.

The next morning, the Awakened Eagle did not find Mitha beside him. There was no sound of water in the bathroom or the balcony was open. All are still tightly closed because outside is also still dark even though it has entered the morning.

"Where's Mitha?" muttered. Hurry up to the door and get off the ground floor. The kitchen was the first time she stopped because she was sure that the daughter-in-law would be there when the family or relatives of her husband even though it never happened in her family. But there were only a few maids who immediately saluted him.

"So has anyone seen my wife?"

"Miss with mrs Malika sir." replied one of the servants who had crossed paths with the two masters.

"Where?" curiosity re-engaged in the Eagle. Didn't Mitha and Malika meet for the first time? they also do not have meaningful interactions other than handshakes, greet each other and the rest are just ordinary because they are in a suffering situation.

"This morning?" either muttered or allotted but what the Eagle did was to immediately leave the house with a wailing head to look at the rotation of the large mansion. Around the house in question the assistant may be equivalent to one RT accommodated because of their spacious yard and garden.

The eagle decided to go behind the house when he could not find them anywhere. It was the only place he had not stopped. Sure enough, he saw two other women of that generation were chatting at the edge of the fish pond. Fortunately, the sun was starting to light up. His golden radiance even bounced on Mitha's white marble face. Beautiful..that's the first impression that there is in the mind of the Eagle when the woman looks up while tucking her unraveling hair child.

"You sure of your decision?" asked Malika who although not loud but can be heard because of the silence in the pool area bordering the small park where they chatted that morning.

"Yes aunty. I will live in a new place." replied Mitha. New place?? what does Mitha mean? The curious eagle lingered closer.

"Don't forget to give your address to aunty huh. Aunty will try to come and see you. Ahhh.and you want to stay here.There are many places you can stay without the Eagle knowing because it is hidden." continued Malika. The middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful at her age was clutching Mitha's fingers lovingly, as if channeling life force to her.

"I'll be more comfortable in my homeland aunty." declined Mitha subtly. A bitter smile was engraved on his plain lips.

"As far as you go, son. Sometimes life requires us to sacrifice. It may hurt at first, but you will get used to it for a long time. What matters is that our hearts are sincere."

"I'll try it aunty. Brother Eagle must get the woman he wants in the end. Like mama Maria who wants to unite aunty and papa back." Malika. The girl in front of him.

"You're wrong Paramitha. Abi's heart belongs to Mary's sister. Not mine anymore." replied Malika almost whispered.

"Mama will remain in your heart, just as you always have in your aunty. Go aunty. And yes.please don't say anything to papa later. Always tell me about papa's progress. I tipped papa aunty." lirih Mitha with her hoarse voice. Malika nodded.

"Of course my dear. You should be fine there too. Remember, life without a husband is hard. Take care of yourself."

Degh's.....

Whahuh? without husband? what does Malika really mean? what was Mitha planning to do with her? the Eagle's hand clenched firmly, he immediately passed without a sound. That handsome face turned turbid as it walked back to his room.

He glanced at Mitha's suitcase that had been neatly arranged. Apparently Mitha was ready to go home because her dirty clothes were also wrapped neatly on the last side, even though she had not said the time of her departure later. Why not wash it first? even if left behind in this house, the maids will definitely arrange it in his possession. It was as if Mitha was acting like she would never return to this house again. Didn't he tell you that they would come here often? He opened the small suitcase and took out all the contents and moved it into his closet.
