During the tense journey, Said continues to chant the do'a inwardly hoping for safety for a sweet girl who has lately taken control of his mind. Said was so afraid if the figure of Milla who will be met at the evacuation site later to why.

After following in the footsteps of Maps that had been shared by Nurdin via chat, Said and Keira arrived in front of a location that looked spacious and crowded. A parking attendant approached Said's car, which was covering slowly on the side of the road right in front of the two-story building.

"Where's the fuck is the problem going? If you're just watching a straight mending, Mas! Don't stop here, it'll get stuck!"

"I want to go to the village, sir! My friend was a fire victim!" reply Said from behind the open window of his car.

"Oo, if so go in, Mas! Parking inside. All the victims of the fire are in the main pendopo on the right side of the gate." explained the parking lot.

"Good, Sir. Thank you." Thank you."

Finally, with the help of the parking attendant, Said managed to put his car into a crowded rural area. The hustle and bustle of the people inside the neighborhood was extremely chaotic. Keira and Said got out of the car in confusion.

Both of them stared anxiously at the government office area that became the temporary evacuation site. While observing the large number of fire victims, Said and Keira compactly scanned the surroundings trying to locate Nurdin and Milla.

"Mending to call Nurdin deh, Id! Get Milla here! If we are rich, we will not be able to find the position where he and Milla are." suggested Keira.

Said nodded in agreement and immediately pulled out his phone to call Nurdin. Luckily Nurdin was still able to answer his phone call in the midst of such crowded conditions. Shortly after, Nurdin's figure appeared in the crowd of people passing by. Walking closer towards Said and Keira from the side.

"Sayen! Keira!" call Nurdin when the distance between them starts to close.

Said and Keira's head turned towards the source of the voice. Simultaneously they saw Nurdin among the crowd of people half of whom panicked.

"Thank you guys, come." Nurdin was relieved when he met them.

"Why, Din? Where's mill? He's okay, isn't he?" cecar Said's.

"Alhamdulillah, the physical is okay. I was just confused! Si Milla is still in shock, her stuff is all ludes. Fortunately he was able to slip into a shoebox that Milla said contained his savings. He had a lot of him than that. I'd like to help call his family, but he's not acting." Nurdin immediately ventured once he had faced Said and Keira.

Said immediately shook his head while holding his forehead, "Obviously he did not answer. Milla tuh former child's home. He doesn't know where his family is. Even he does not know, his family is still alive or not" Said said.

Keira and Nurdin were immediately flabbergasted by the fact. Keira even covered her mouth with her hands in shock.

"Seriously lo, Id!" ask Keira not to believe it.

Said nodded firmly. That is why he is so sorry to have prayed for Milla's boarding house to burn. Because the girl had no other purpose than the rundown boarding house. Even so there is a speck of relief in Said's heart knowing Milla will never be able to return to the neighborhood again.

"That's a big deal he. I don't have a family, now the death of rich gini too. How dong is it? Where should we take him? If there's no family, what's the fate after this?" now it was Nurdin's turn to ask the question in a concerned tone.

Said's riveted. His mind was dead-end for a while. Until finally he thought of bringing Milla home to his place. "Let me take him home to my place!" ngasal ceplosnya.

Then a punch landed on his head that was in a frenzy. "Ngawur aja, Lo! Maen brought home the girls. Want to lo apain the Milla at your place, huh?" nagel Keira.

"Yeah, Kei.situasi dah precarious like this you are still my amazon su'udzon." Said.

"Oh, obviously, you're a normal guy. And Milla tuh the innocent chick. There is no guarantee you will not say anything about him in the place you both just. Which is really lo!" Keira grumbling.

"What's your turf, Kei??? Milla said she could not go back to the orphanage because there was no place so she chose to spend alone after graduating from High School." Said panicked.

"We'll take him home to our house first, Kei!" suddenly Tyo appeared between them. Making the three classmates turn to Keira's husband.

"Darling.." call Keira to her husband. "You sure you want that? Is it really okay?"

Tyo nodded, "In our house there are many empty rooms. Milla can wear one for a while until we can help her find a new place to live. And at home later you can give some of your clothes to Milla. After that, we will re-direct the exit calmly!"

"I agree!" answer Keira sumringah. Feeling relieved to know the fate of Milla is no longer vacillating. At least for now.

"Where are the millers now?" tanya Tyo turned to Nurdin.

"Still in the pendopo there. But if you want to be taken home must report to the village first. It has to fill in the family data." explained Nurdin.

"Okay, let's go get Milla together. Let me fill in the family data." take Tyo without hesitation.

After that, everything passed so quickly. Lucky for Milla, Tyo comes and decides to take her home. Provide a decent temporary shelter for the girl before they find the right solution to Milla's next fate.

***

At the Pratama family home,

Keira escorts Milla to one of the guest rooms downstairs. The girl had been silent ever since they picked her up at the hotel. Even during the trip, Milla remained silent while hugging the shoe box that looked half wet.

Mbok Sri followed them from behind while carrying a new set of toiletries. The aged household assistant directly arranged the toiletries she brought into the bathroom after the three of them entered the guest room. Only the bathrobe still hangs in his hands.

"Milla, you take a shower. The clothes you wear are thrown away! It can't be made anymore. I'll get you all the clothes you can wear!" keira.

Milla nodded weakly. Keira asked for the bathrobe that Mbok Sri still brought and then thrust it on Milla. "In the meantime you put on this bathrobe first and wait for me here!" keira Pinta.

Again Milla just nodded even though one hand grabbed the bathrobe slowly. Keira's heart became bitter at the attitude of the girl. His attention was then focused on the worn shoe box that Milla still held tightly.

"That's, rich'nya wet!" Keira pointed towards the shoebox in Milla's embrace. "Would I get you a hairdryer to dry that?" ask Keira.

Milla stared at the box she was carrying fixedly and then looked back at Keira. "You, Ma'am!" answer later.

Keira was finally able to smile in relief after the girl returned to voice. "Then I get it first! Just calm down, it's safe!"

After finishing his last sentence, Keira and Mbok Sri finally came out of the guest room together. Keira went upstairs to her room to pick up the clothes and hairdryer she offered Milla, while Mbok Sri went straight back to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Half an hour later...Keira knocks on the door of the guest room that Milla occupied while calling the girl. "Milla, it's me!"

Milla opened the door and Keira saw that Milla was already looking better even with a bathrobe on her body. It seemed that the girl had already finished cleaning herself up and was waiting for him. Keira then entered by dragging an eighteen-inch suitcase with her.

"These are the clothes you can wear. I am not a minjemin. This is all I love you because most of it does not fit on my body. But calm down, the condition is still good. You don't have to give it back, okay!" bright Keira as she raised the suitcase on the bed and opened it.

Milla gawked while looking at the contents of the suitcase that Keira had opened. Then Keira handed a paper bag with the logo "Victoria's Secret" right in front of Milla. "And this, underwear. I bought stock, so I've never used it. There's even a tag. For you too."

Milla speechless. He thought Keira would only give him a piece or two of clothes to change temporarily. At all Milla did not expect if the new level brother she knew would be very generous to give a suitcase full of clothes that look too good for Milla.

"After changing clothes, you're out! We had lunch in the dining room. Oia, the hairdryer's in the suitcase." Keira added.

Milla again could only nod. His lips still felt faint even now for a completely different reason than before. After Keira left her alone, Milla rushed to change clothes. He did not want those who had been kind enough to help and support him to wait for him just to have lunch.

Before long Milla came out of the room and began to wander looking for the location of the dining room that Keira mentioned. However, suddenly from behind he was startled by a voice calling out his name.

"Son Milla huh?!" call Ms.Naina who just came out of the kitchen.

Milla turned her head and looked frightened from facing an unknown person. "L-yes, I." answered Milla stammered.

Ms.Naina who saw the eyes full of fear from Milla immediately felt unbearable. Keira's in-laws immediately approached and hugged Milla warmly.

"Don't be afraid! I'm Keira's mother, call Ms. Naina. I have heard of your condition. I'm so sorry, kid.but don't worry, we'll help you as much as we can!"

Ms.Naina let go of her embrace then gave Milla the warmest smile she had ever received from a middle-aged woman. Milla thought, this is what it feels like to be hugged by a mother. Milla felt so comfortable that she wanted that hug again. However, Milla also felt awkward about the sudden kindness.

Ms.Naina takes Milla to the dining room. There were already gathered Tyo, Keira, Said and little Arga who were sitting on the baby feeding chair.

"As for the info, Nak Milla, Keira's friends are always welcome in this house. And Nak Said has often been hitchhiking here, so Nak Milla do not feel shy. Consider it your own home!" Ms.Naina patted Milla on both shoulders before finally letting the girl choose her seat.

Said waved at him then patted the dining chair next to him. Milla nodded and walked slowly towards Said. As Milla approached, Said stood up and pulled the chair in question so that Milla could sit down. Mrs. Naina herself immediately chose to sit next to her grandson's chair.

"Milla, please eat as much! Eat a lot. Because you need energy intake to face reality." said Tyo bluntly.

At that time Tyo was sitting in the main seat that his father used to sit in. Mumpung Mr. Ruslan is still working, so this time Tyo who acts as the head of the family in the house.

"Yes, Milla. Eat a lot, but don't worry too much about reality. We are sure to help you!" added Keira while feeding little Arga lunch.

Lunch was quite crowded, each of them all tried to encourage Milla to not get too bad in her problems. Although they both realized how strange the problem that was plaguing the girl.
