My madam, my poison
Freer
The correctional institute.
That afternoon Maureen had just finished her lunch when suddenly the warden called her name.
"Karmila Brothers."
"Karmila or actually named Maureen was quickly moved from his seat and walked closer to the door of the iron bars.
Yes, Mum. Is there a visit for me?" tanyakanya.
"Congratulations, you are free today. You're one of those inmates who's getting remission." The warden's right hand was stretched out.
"A-what-what, Mom? I'm free?" maureen asked as she shook the woman's hand.
"really. Right now you can get out of this place and get back to your family."
"Allahu Akbar! Maureen could no longer hold back her gratitude at once. He also fell down where he stood. Due to remission, his supposed four-year prison term was only three years.
"I'm saying goodbye, thanks to you guys for accompanying me through tough days" he told his cellmate.
"We are sorry that when you first entered this place, we were often rude to you" said one of the detainees.
Maureen commented a smile.
"Oh, I've forgotten everything. May we be reunited in better circumstances" he said.
"Never set foot in this place again. May your life be better in the future" said the warden.
"Thank you, Mom. I'll say goodbye, Assalamu'alaikum."
Maureen waved her hand at her comrades who were inside the holding cell before actually leaving the place.
"Going home? Where am I supposed to go home? Is Fabian still willing to accept me?" muttered.
Despite his slight hesitation, he had no choice but to go to Fabian's house. However, when he arrived at his old residence, he did not find the house again. After asking the residents, he got information if his house was destroyed by an earthquake about three years ago. Through other residents he got information if Fabian now lives in a small rented house with his mother. After an exhausting search, he finally arrived at Fabian's residence.
"Assalamu'alaikum" he said from the front door.
"Waalaikumsalam," said someone from the kitchen.
A few moments later the occupants of the house appeared. Of course he was surprised not to play to find who his guests were that afternoon.
"Kar-Kar-Kar-mila's chat. You?"
"Yes, Mom. It's me, Karmila."
"Aren't you still in custody? Why are you suddenly here? Don't tell me you're you're running away from the prisoner."
"Astaghfirullahaldzim says. How could you accuse me of that? I could be free sooner because I got remission. My supposed four-year prison term is only three years" Maureen explained.
"Lantas, why are you looking for Fabian?"
"What does Mom mean? Fabian never once dropped the word talaq on me. That means we're still legal spouses, right?"
"The rabbinical is tired of you. Besides, what would people say if the occupants of this house are ex-convicts."
"Why do you talk like that?"
"Here you go, just go home to your successful sister. I was just kicked out because he thought I was just a troublesome burden."
"I mean Azzura's mother? Maybe he could throw Mom out. I know his heart is so sincere."
"I'm sorry, I'm busy!"
Bu Kinanti pulled the doorknob and then entered the house.
"Let me stay here, ma'am," said Maureen.
"Quick leave this house or I'll yell at you thief!" threaten bu Kinanti.
Maureen had no choice but to leave the house.
Maureen continued walking aimlessly until she collapsed in front of a house from exhaustion.
"Where are you going, son?" ask the owner of the house after he wakes up.
"I-I just got out of custody. But I have no purpose."
"Do you have no family?"
Maureen shook her head.
"I had a chance to meet my mother-in-law but she refused me to stay back with her."
"So where are you going now?"
"Yes, it's getting dark soon. You better stay at my house. I just happen to live alone."
"Sorry troublesome, Mom, um…"
"Call me Mira."
"Yes, Miss Mira."
"My name is Maureen."
"You must be hungry, right? I'll cook for dinner."
"thank you. Mira's so nice to me that we've never met before."
"As fellow human beings we should help each other, right?"
Maureen responded to Mira's remarks with a knotty smile on her lips.
"Thank you, O God. You are giving help from an unexpected direction" he murmured.

"So Karmila came here" Bu Kinanti told Fabian between their dinners.
"That's right. He is still in custody. Where might come here."
"She said she had remission. So it could be free a year sooner."
"Commonsense too," inner Fabian. "Lantas, where is he now?"
"Mother throw him out.
"Huh?! Why did you throw him out?"
"Do you want to live with an ex-convict? Besides, you do have the intention to divorce her, don't you?"
"But I shouldn't have kicked Maureen out. Pity him that these nights sleep outside."
"Why should you feel sorry for him? Never mind after separating from Silvia, you just want to go back to Maureen."
"It's not so, Mom. I just, …"
"Here you go, don't talk about it anymore.
We better think about what we want to use for 500 million money from Mr. Anthony," said bu Kinanti.
The mood was silent for a moment.
"You why? Don't you like that we have a lot of money now?"
"I was just thinking. Is our action right to ask for such money because Mr Anthony's car accidentally hit Amira? Isn't death a written destiny before we were born?"
"Why should you think that far. Mr Anthony told me himself that he was willing to give anything to the family of pedestrians he hit?"
"T-t-but, Mom, …"
"Here you go, 500 million is a small sum for Mr. Anthony. Ehm ... how about we use the money to open a business?"
"What is it, Mom?"
"How about convection?"
"So many types of effort. Why did you choose convection?"
"Mom think you know why."
"What was the reason you chose that venture?"
"We're going to rival Zura's efforts. We have to show that our efforts can be more successful than him" said Bu Kinanti eagerly.
Bu Kinanti, the woman whom Azzurra loved so much, now considered her an enemy.
