"Yudha, help me"
A short WhatsApp message from Mile was received on Yudha's phone.
"What's up, Mile?"
"Where are you?"
"Hey!"
"Milea?!"
Tuuut .... Tuuuttt ...
There's no answer. The series of WhatsApp messages Yudha was not reciprocated. Her tone is connected, but not her raised.
"What's wrong with you, Mile"
Again. Yudha contacted Milea once again. And the response is still the same. Her connecting tone is connected, but again not in her lift.
Tuuut .... Tuuuttt ...
"Ken, please go to Mile's house. Find out what happened to him"
"Good, Sir"
Yudha returned to the meeting room. Today he presides over a monthly routine meeting at the ministry. He must send Ken to find out where Mile is.
Since long ago Mile known as an independent woman, tough and strong. The somewhat tomboyish character attached to him. Unlike Irene, she was typical of meek women, her motherly soul had already appeared from a long time ago. These two women are conflicted yet they are very familiar. Maybe because they're the only two women among them.
Three and a half hours have passed since he ordered Ken to go see Mile. But Ken hasn't given him any news yet. The meeting is over.
Yudha returned to her study. He looked again at the file on his desk. He was back at work in his office.
Drr.... Drr....
Vibrate phone sounded. Yudha looked at her cell phone screen.
"Irine", he muttered.
He shifted the green button.
"Hello, irine. How are you?"
"Bad news, Yudha"
"Bad news. What's up?"
"Milea's bus from my house. He's told a lot of stories. She is divorced from her husband. Now that infotainment reporters are looking for her a lot, she says lately her household has been in frequent bickering. If I hear from the news on television, there's a third person"
"And the most surprising thing was that he asked me to accompany him somewhere. You know, Yudha, where are we going?"
Yudha was silent for a moment. He breathed his long breath.
"Outhor?"
"Yeahhhh.... How do you know? Don't we know something?" Tell me Yudha, what happened exactly"
"Did Mile say anything about her pregnancy?"
"none. It's just that she wants to raise the child alone. The doctor stated that he should not be stressed, because the content is weak. Fear of bad consequences for the fetus later"
"Where is Mile?"
"He's gone home. He just asked me to drive him near the station. Maybe he's home now"
"Hmmm..."
"Yuddha"
"Yes"
"alright. Thanks for the information. I'm gonna go find Mile"
Yudha hung up. Then I pressed a number.
"Hows it? Did you find him?
"Yes, Sir. I'll send her sent location on, Father"
"okay!"
******
"Bogor?", Yudha muttered as soon as she saw her phone.
Ken sent Yudha a sent location. Yudha called one of her staff and asked her to call the driver and prepare the car. With an hour and thirty minutes drive through the toll, he had already reached the intended location.
Ken opened the car door for his boss. Yudha told her staff to go back to the office.
"Where is he?"
"Miss Milea's in a little house down this street, sir. The road is pretty narrow. Please follow me"
Ken walked ahead, pointing the way to Yudha. They passed through a few small alleys. A little meandering, then they reached the house in question. A small house that only measured eight by fifteen meters. Semi-permanent house with red brick and board. Away from the city's frenzy.
Gts .... Geck...
Keekkk ...
"Yudha, I know you're coming"
Milea was very pleased with the arrival of her best friend and invited him in. Yudha codes Ken to watch the situation outside the house. Ken nodded. He stood on the right side of the front door.
"What does this all mean, Mile"
"I'm sorry for bothering you, Yudha. You must have known what hit my household"
"Hmmm..."
"Yesterday after the verdict from the religious court, Adam came to see me"
"Adam?"
"Yes. He said that he had just met and talked to you in one eye. I persuaded him to surrender and start a new life comfortably here. Together raise this child"
"Then?"
"He agreed. But he said there was something he had to finish first. After that, he will come to me. That's how it says. But I have a bad feeling about him, Yudha. That's why I was too stressed and caused a little trouble in my womb"
"What should I do, Yudha? I'm scared"
"You love her?"
"Yes, I love Adam so much"
"If you love her, you have to trust her Mile. Calm down and wait for him here. Take care of your health for the sake of the child you contain"
"Yes, you are right Yudha. After all this was done and this child was born, we were planning to get married. In order for this child to obtain a clear status in the eyes of state law"
"Yes, I pray you'll be happy together. Then I say goodbye first. Take care of yourself, Milea"
"Yuddha"
"Yes"
"May I embrace you. At least I feel I have more power with you. I beg you, Yudha"
Yudha approached Milea and hugged her, the warm embrace of a friend, transferring the strength of the heart to the fragile woman before her.
