My Prayer is Different from Yours

Chapter 33. Some Come and Go

Coming and going are different things. We as human beings can only plan and when the prepared plan just disappears.....

❤️❤️❤️

Today was exactly a week Mitha was hospitalized. The more days her body improved, Andra never left Mitha in the hospital made Mitha feel melted with Andra's sincerity.

"How's the doc of my son's condition?" ask Mr. Haris to the doctor who examined Mitha.

"Mitha is healthy. Today he can already go home, but, must rest completely at home for 2 days." Further

They all look happy and Andra is no exception. He who had been so worried about Mitha's condition could now smile.

Mitha looked at Andra so deeply. All this time Andra was never far from him, now he feels guilty to Andra.

Mitha wanted to be honest about everything to Andra and did not want to make Andra wish further to him.

"Thank you." Mitha told Andra.

Andra was startled and immediately turned towards Mitha. Their eyes were looking at each other, Andra was more and more amazed at Mitha's natural beauty.

"You're beautiful, even if you're sick, she still looks beautiful." Pekik Andra in heart.

"You're just quiet." Mitha said seeing Andra speechless.

Andra still looked at Mitha so sharply, her gaze did not want to be off looking at Mitha's face.

"It's nothing, I'm the one who should be apologizing for making you like this." Further.

Mitha smiled so sweetly at Andra that she could no longer release Mitha for others.

"You go home. I'm fine!" Mitha wanted Andra to no longer feel guilty towards her.

"hmm." Her speech.

They smiled at each other, there was no longer any grudge against Andra. Since then they were getting closer, there was no more awkwardness.

Mitha's comfort to Andra did not just forget Rial. Every Sunday he still calls Rial, Andra tries to hold back his jealousy.

Andra did not want any more emotions like before that caused Mitha to hate him. Now she wants to be more patient for him now he is the one beside Mitha.

But the happiness of Rial and Mitha was disturbed by the presence of Erna who turned out to be secretly paying attention to the state of Rial in his home.

Erna now knows why Rial is avoiding her. He could no longer be patient when he heard himself Rial talking affectionately on the phone.

"This must be because of her, you bitch. Who is that woman!" Pekik Erna upset.

Erna approached Rial with a face that was so upset. He who had been hiding behind the door could not bear to hear everything.

With a sly smile, Erna broke the phone cord.

"Hello..hello..." Rial said as she no longer heard Mitha's voice that was engrossed in chatting with her.

"That's who?" Ask Erna. How shocked Rial saw Erna was already beside him and holding the phone cord.

"What the hell is this." Say Rial and pick up the phone cable that Erna decided on.

"I should be angry. Who's that woman?" Erna seems to have lost her temper. He wanted to hear himself from Rial's mouth but, Rial left him just like that in the living room.

"I'll get you to talk and I know who can do it." Erna said with a smile.

Erna knows that Rial has not been able to fight her father. And this he can use plus Mr. Arif is so dear to him.

*****

That night they gathered at Rial's house, Erna and her parents were present at the wedding anniversary ceremony of Mr. Arif and Nia's mother. They do hold events every year without inviting anyone other than Erna and her parents.

"Om I want to say something." Erna.

"Say, son, is there a problem?" Ask Mr. Arif.

"Yes, Rial has always shied away from me." Erna said without hesitation. Rial who heard that was so shocked how could Erna shamelessly say that.

"Damn.." Mr. Arif looked at his son with anger on his face, Nia's mother seemed to calm her husband but, still, Mr. Arif looks so emotional.

Mr. Arif approached Rial and suddenly

"Snake." Such a loud slap landed on his smooth face.

They were all so shocked including Erna but she was also happy because she was so brave to refuse him.

"Well, why is this?" Asked Nia's mother, Rial only went silent receiving a slap from her father.

"Dad said you should be close to Erna. Why don't you understand either." Said Mr. Arif.

"I know why Rial is cold to Erna." Erna put on her face which made Rial even more fed up with him.

"You know. now tell me everything." Mr. Arif seemed curious about what Erna knew.

"I overheard Rial calling with another woman on the phone." Erna.

Mr. Arif and Nia's mother only realized that all this time Rial would look so enthusiastic when receiving a phone call on Sunday, however, he never thought that Rial had been calling with a woman.

"Now don't lie to me. Who's that woman." Continue mr. Arif.

Rial who had just been silent about everything, he no longer wanted to hide Mitha to his family. But the estimates did not match his expectations.

"Disconnect yourself with that woman." Said Mr. Arif.

"But my father started to like it." Rial said while begging his father to accept and not impose his wishes.

"Dad didn't want to hear anything. Until whenever father won't accept it. Only Erna deserves to be Dad's daughter-in-law." Continue mr. Arif.

Pupus is Rial's hope, he can no longer do anything. His dislike for Erna increasingly becomes so.

"It's all because of you." Rial said while pushing Erna's body. Rial looked very angry at the woman in front of him

"Don't blame me. I'm so upset about how a country girl can humiliate me." Shouted Erna.

"Now that I am more certain, you are nothing compared to Mitha." Rial's words passed from Erna.

"So the village girl's name is Mitha." Erna's condescending remarks towards Mitha further enraged Rial to her.

"Don't call Mitha a village girl. And even though Mitha's the village girl she'll be my wife." Rial said so firmly.

Rial follows his father to his room, hoping that his father can accept Mitha, but, Mr. Arif has such a firm stance. Not of those who can oppose it.

"Well..Rial please!" Rial.

"disconnect you. I don't want to hear anything more about the woman;" said Mr. Arif.

How is Rial and Mitha related.

Will they break up!

Thank you very much.
