"Go and meet your daughter. However, you need to remember not to do anything if you do not want your punishment to increase for harming others!" The rutan officer tries to alert Mia before releasing the woman to meet Queensha.
Mia twirled her eyeballs lazily. Bored because since coming out of the holding cell until his legs were almost reaching the door of the besuk room, rutan officers continue to advise him with the same sentence.
"Okay, I must remember it." Then Mia again swung her legs towards one of the special rooms used to meet with relatives who went to rush the prisoners.
Mia unsheathed a hateful look as she saw the door of the room open wide. Up ahead, Queensha was sitting sweetly with the loyal Yogi standing not far from the chair where her stepdaughter was sitting. The woman's hand gripped the tip of the prisoner's clothes very tightly to break the explosive anger.
Meanwhile, Queensha looked flat as the two neutrals clashed against each other. He raised his chin up, looking down at Mia as if he wanted to say that now he was the one who won the game. Mia, Sarman and Lita finally get a reply for all the mistakes they have made in the past.
"Would you like to come here? Is this coming you want to make sure how much it hurt me and my husband, huh? If that's what you're going to meet me for you, you better get out of here because I don't want to see that annoying face of yours! A face that always reminds me of a sick old man who brought me at the beginning of the destruction!" mia shouted in a high voice. So tight he exclaimed, the rutan officer and Yogi who were in the room almost simultaneously turned towards Mia.
Back there Yogi took a swing, taking out the sharp objects he always carried everywhere from his leather jacket pocket. He did not want to give Mia a chance to attack Queensha first. Want to explain what if he is considered to fail to protect Queensha, even though Ghani has entrusted the woman to him.
Same with the rutan officer. It has a responsibility to protect the relatives who visit. Especially knowing that Queensha also reported Mia on charges of kidnapping and mistreatment of Aurora, he must be on alert, not to be careless and the opportunity was used by prisoners to attack targets.
Queensha' chest is deflated, the late beloved father is humiliated in such a way that the man Mia despises has given everything for the woman's happiness. However, Mia does not remember all the good Gunawan ever gave her. Mia only remembers all the distress Gunawan caused after the man was sentenced to stay in the chronic disease that requires dialysis every month.
Both hands clenched beside the body. It feels like he slapped Mia's deformed face using his own palm, but he has other plans to avenge Mia's actions by deliberately insulting the father.
Pointing the corner of her lips up, Queensha smiled mockingly at the woman she had considered to be her own real mama. "Oh, so Mama thinks that my Papa is a sick man who has brought you to the brink of suffering? Um, I think Mama forgot what my late Papa had been doing all this time."
Queensha pushed her face forward until she was one inch away from Mia. From this close distance, he could see how terrible Mia's face was deformed by the actions of the Yogis.
"Did Mama forget everything Papa did to make you happy, Ma? Should I mention one by one what Papa has done to make Mama smile?" queensha said, both eyebrows move down and up. Still imprinted in the memory of how cute Gunawan until the man was willing to bury the ideals of his only child with his first wife.
Because of the work of Mia, Queensha was only able to study at the level of high school even though he was gifted with an intelligent brain and ease in capturing the material conveyed by the teacher. However, due to Mia's dislike of Queensha, she eventually relents and gives the opportunity to Lita, her half-sister.
"You ... dare to defy me?" Mia pulled her body back. Staring into Queensha's eyes made her guts shrink. Somehow he felt intimidated when the two blind were stared at by the owner of the narrowed eye.
Queensha folded both hands in front of the chest. There was a happy feeling to see the look on the face of fear emanated in the look of Mia's eyes.
"Why not dare? What can a disabled person like you do to me? Slap me in the face? Take my crown that my beloved husband always takes? Or.... locked me in an abandoned building, not feeding me and drinking all day? I guess, Mama must have thought twice about doing that to me. Especially now that there are two people watching us."
Queensha glanced at the rutan guard and Yogi who was behind him. "I'm sure Mama couldn't have dared to do that to me, right? Mama must be afraid that the punishment that will be given will increase, not to mention the reply from my beloved husband when he knows my smooth and white body is blisters due to someone's actions."
"Mama can imagine how angry my dear Koko Ghaniku is when she finds out that Mama dared to attack me in front of Yogi. It's not just Mama's hair being pulled over, your face is deformed, it could be that your hands and feet are rendered dysfunctional like your wicked husband!" hiss Queensha with a sharp eye.
Mia fell silent, while Yogi smiled proudly at the words he had just heard. Queensha was much braver than he had imagined. If only Ghani had been here, the man would have rained down on Queensha with an affectionate kiss because the woman not only dared to confront Mia, but also praised her boss in such a way.
'Why do I look so weak in front of Queensha? What the hell is going on with me? Then where did he get the courage to dare to oppose me?' Mia was monologuing, asking herself.
Last time I met, Queensha was still like a fool to obey everything she said. However, why was now that his stepson was braver than before? Could it be because his condition that looks weak like this make Queensha dare to him?
"I know Mama must hate me so much now for throwing you in jail. It could be that the hatred in you is getting more and more considering how sincere Mas Ghani loves and loves me until he is willing to make an ambush against you and your evil husband. However, do you not realize that everything that happens to you is the fruit of what you have planted all this time."
"Didn't you realize how hard you were to separate me from my own daughter? Mama could have engineered the story, asked the obstetrician to say if the baby I gave birth to died. Mama could sell my baby to a married couple who have no children for a long time."
"Where is your conscience as a fellow woman, Ma? Isn't Mom a mother too? But why did he do this evil thing to me? Why, Ma?" ask Queensha. The woman's lips trembled, her eyes began to glaze over and her nose was sour.
"What did I do wrong until Mama decided to separate me from Rora? All this time I always obeyed your orders, even I was willing to bury my ideals for the harmony of the Mama household with Papa. But everything I do is always wrong in your eyes."
Queensha could no longer hold back her tears. The crystal circle slid between the two cheeks. The woman's body trembled violently, her chest felt tight as if a huge rock was squeezing her. In front of Mia, he took out all the items that had been harbored all this time.
"When Papa first said he wanted to get married again, my heart flowered because he thought he would get love from a mother after being left behind by my late mother forever. Many dreams and dreams I want to realize after Papa marries you. However, after the sacred vows of marriage and Papa brought you home, it was not happiness that I got but suffering that came in turn."
"I used to be pampered and treated like a king's daughter, but after you came I became a babu in my own parents' house. Really sad. When other people continued college, I actually worked to slam the bones because my own parents were no longer able to meet my needs. Until I finally decided to work in Japan as a waitress to help Papa's medical expenses."
"When a great calamity came, again and again Mama instigated Papa to drive me out of the house because she felt that my presence was a disgrace to the family. Then after I gave birth to a baby girl who was considered a family disgrace, Mama also separated us until I thought she had died. Why is Mama cruel to me?"
Throw Queensha's tears in that second, too. All the pain, pain and sadness that he experienced was spilled in front of Mia. It was fine if Mia considered herself weak as long as she could strengthen everything, that was more than enough.
"I have been silent for thinking of you as my stepmother, a woman who is willing to raise me to adulthood. However, once I knew the truth, of course I couldn't stay silent. Therefore, I ask Mas Ghani to teach you a lesson to give a deterrent effect. But it turns out that living in jail doesn't make you aware of all the past mistakes."
"And now I realize that Mama will never change forever. No matter what I do, it is impossible to make you aware because the Devil has been residing in you. So it's useless to teach Mama a lesson because forever you remain a bad person."
Queensha looked at Mia. He said in between his sobs that slashed the heart. "If neither I, Mas Ghani, nor Yogi are able to resuscitate you, let the hand of God work. I've seen enough of how the universe works."
Sighing a long breath and then rubbing the remaining tears in the corner of the eye. Glance at the wall clock in the room. The time showed three o'clock in the afternoon over fifteen minutes, which meant that he was already almost thirty menita was in the same room with Mia. The flight to Jakarta was five in the afternoon and he had to return to the hospital before everyone waited for him too long.
"Today I'm back in Jakarta, starting my new life with no shadow of yours behind it. Since I wanted to live a quiet and peaceful life, I decided to untie all the ties that exist between the two of us. It's not that I don't want to have an evil stepmother like you, but I think it would be nice to cut off the relationship that Mama once had with me."
"Oh anyway, Mama never considered me a child so I guess this is the best way for all of us." Queensha stood up, then briefly tidied up her appearance. "I hope the door of repentance is still wide open so that Mama, Om Sarman and Lita can improve themselves, become better human beings."
"I'll go first, Ma. Good bye." Queensha turned her body. Biting her lips firmly, refraining from crying anymore. After that just step slowly leaving Mia who was still frozen in place.
