My Prayer is Different from Yours

Chapter 30

Mitha's body trembled when she reached her house, along which she was a path of rain so heavy that it made her body unable to withstand the cold.

"Why are you, son? you are raining. Where's your bike?" Mr. Haris asked, he was so shocked when he saw his daughter coming home in a soaked shirt. Mitha was speechless hearing the question from her father, her shivering body instantly disappeared. He did not know what to answer to his father.

Mila's mother who was napping was so disturbed when her husband called her from outside. He also had to get up from his bed.

"Mr why the hell! mommy ka sedanh take a nap." His words came to a halt when he saw Mitha standing in front of the door while holding back the cold. He immediately brought Mitha inside, he did not want to rush to ask what happened. Although, he himself was curious about what happened.

Rini was so quick to give a towel to her brother, she who was still a child did not know what happened to her brother.

"You go to the room first, get dressed!" Said Mr. Haris who was curious about what Mitha experienced. Mitha stepped on her feet in a doldrums, thinking hard what she was going to say. He had to lie again.

****************

Rial looked uneasy in her room, she was afraid that something might happen to Mitha. He could only go back and forth in his room. Rial did not know what to do, he could only communicate with Mitha by public phone and that was only once a week. Type he was so happy to receive a call from Mitha and Andra messed it up.

"Mitha you're okay!" Pekik Rial with annoyance to Andra. He did not know what happened between Mitha and Andra. Mitha also never told Rial anything so he was confused when Andra sounded angry when Mitha joked with him on the phone.

Not only was Rial worried for Mitha, Andra was only able to pacing around in her room. The guilt of humiliating Mitha was like that. But, she was also upset when she heard Mitha herself was familiar with other men. Mitha's smile was so revealing when talking to Rial.

"His name is Rial, what does Mitha have to do with Rial?" In her heart, she was so jealous when the woman she loved was close to another man.

"It's not my fault, who told the boy to make me angry." Andra. He looked at the window of his room as the rain so heavily soaked the earth. Andra tried to calm her heart, she poured her body into her soft mattress. He wanted to forget his guilt for a moment to Mitha.

In her room Mitha tried to find the reason she had to say to her parents, her brain seemed to want to break. Maybe because all this time he lied to his parents so now he got the consequences, Mitha tried to take his breath so deep. Now he resigned if later his parents will scold him.

Mr. Haris and Mila's mother were still sitting in the same place, they were so worried about Mitha. They were afraid that someone would run their daughter. Excessive parno made Mila's mother frightened.

From a distance Mitha noticed the faces of her parents, she slowly approached her parents who were already waiting for an explanation from her. His legs were so stiff as if he did not want to step.

"Have you changed, son?" Ask Mila's mother while letting Mitha sit next to her.

"Yes, um." He said in a soft voice, he was afraid that later his parents would scold him when he told the truth.

"Now we're talking about what happened." Said Mitha, Mitha can only be bowed, her mouth like it is locked tightly.

"Jawab dong son, don't worry us." Said Mila's mother while holding Mitha's hand, she tried to convince her that nothing would happen. Mitha's eyes looked at her eyes, knowing that her mother could not lie to her.

"Actually my motorbike pawns at Siti's mother's stall." Mitha said as her hands trembled. Mr. Haris and Mila's mother who heard that was so shocked, they were more worried that something was wrong with their daughter.

"Can't you kid?" Ask Mr. Haris. Mitha began to tell what happened from the beginning until finally she had to pawn the bike.

"You calm down, tomorrow I'll go to school and teach the boy a lesson named Andra and his friends." Said Mr. Haris annoyed as soon as Mitha was shocked, he did not know what would happen to Andra if tomorrow father to school.

"Don't reward." Mitha said, she does not want to prolong her problems with Andra. Moreover, Andra will soon graduate and that means she will not meet him again.

"Why indeed?" Ask Mila's mother who was astonished at Mitha's attitude.

"Yes mah, Mitha did not want to prolong the problem. Besides, I'm not okay - why is it just the bike that I pawn." Mitha tried to give understanding to her parents. However, Mr. Haris did not care about what Mitha said.

He was firm on his stance, Mr. Haris gave a little lesson to Andra for making his daughter have to go home with a wet situation. Mitha and Mila's mother couldn't do anything anymore

Mitha returned to her room between happy or sad, her parents not being angry at her in the least. Mitha was only worried about what would happen to Andra tomorrow. He knew that Mr. Haris would be reckless with Andra.

"Why should I worry too. He does deserve it, who told me to ruin my happiness with Rial." Pekik Mitha was upset.

"Oh yes Rial, what should I say to Rial later. She must have suspected that I had a relationship with Andra." Mitha momentarily recalled Rial and grew increasingly upset with Andra.

The next day Mitha slowly opened her eyes, she wanted to get ready for school as usual. However, suddenly his body was so heavy to be moved like being stabbed by needles, his eyes were watery, his head was so painful that his body fell back into his mattress.

"Where are you going this early in the morning?" Ask Mila's mother because she sees Haris is not usually well dressed.

"To Mitha la mah's school!" Said Mr. Haris who was impatient to meet the child who made his daughter in distress.

"Seriously, I thought Papah had forgotten." Said Mila's mother.

Suddenly Rini called Haris and Mila's mother.

"Mah.pah..." Shouted Rini. She was so shocked to find her brother unconscious in her room. Mr. Haris and Mila's mother who heard Rini's cry immediately ran to Mitha's room.

"What's up, son?" Ask Mila's mom to panic.

"That's mah's sister." His hand pointed at the unconscious Mitha with a face so pale.

"Why are you, son!" Mila's mother approached Mitha who was drowning.

"Bah, we're taking Mitha to the hospital." Mila's mother panicked and Haris immediately lifted Mitha from the bed and immediately took her to the hospital.
