Neighbors Don't Know Themselves

Part 17's

While at his home, Kiran and Tita wait in dismay. Mira rarely came home, but somehow today she felt so bad as if something bad was happening. Until he decided to go to Citra's house.

"Ateu.. Ateu.." call him outside.

The image that was watching tv, rushed to open the door.

"Eh Kiran, what's up Kir?" Ask "want to come in?"

"Engga Ateu, just here... Euh Ateu, why did well Kiran fidget continuously from earlier. Kiran kept thinking of Mamah, Iwan's father. Why ateu?" He asked again, while his face was filled with great anxiety.

"Emang Mamah where is Kir?"

"Yesterday mah pas came home saying he wanted to go to the religious court, he said now the divorce verdict" Kiran looked down sad "but why not go home?"

"Kiran calm down well, many do do'a. Hopefully Mama's with Iwan's father is okay." Answer Image comfort Kiran.

"Yes Ateu, Aamiin." replied Kiran "Ateu, thank you for horrifying Kiran. Though Mamah Kiran often make the same problem Ateu, but Ateu still good with Kiran and Tita as well. Thanks Ateu, Kiran go home first." He said as he passed away.

The image only smiled then closed the door after Kiran's back was not seen anymore.

"Who's Neng?" Ask Doni who just came out of the bathroom.

"Si Kiran Kang, she said she felt bad about Teh Mira as well as A Iwan." Citra replied.

"Oh.. But Akang also had not seen Mira Tea again for a long time, where are you?" Ask Doni again.

The image just shrugged with a stern feeling that looks obvious on his face.

Since his quarrel with Teh Dewi, Mira is rarely seen again. Especially when the mothers here demand that Mira be expelled from this complex for fear of their husbands being bullied as Mira did to Tisna.

Tea Dewi had indeed apologized to Citra, and the situation was normal again. But not with Tisna, reportedly he expelled his wife and now either where?

At the time of the incident, RT RW was only giving a warning. They still see the whereabouts of Kiran and Tita who know nothing about her mother's problems. But if this incident is repeated again, then inevitably Mira must lift foot from here because it has been proven to disturb the comfort of the residents.

"Neng bobo yuk, it's late." asked Doni. But Cita even melengos go alone to his room. Don't forget to slam the door and lock it from the inside.

Somewhere else..

It was still dark when Mira woke up from feeling a cold piercing her skin. Apparently he fainted last night after escaping. While in the distance there was the sound of people reading sholawatan in the mosque.

Rushing Mira rose because now he is still in the rice field not far from the place where he was held yesterday.

With a limp step, Mira down the road while holding the pain and linu. He shivered behind the thin clothes he was wearing.

Many times Mira looked back, fearing that Hendar's men would find her and do evil again to her.

After some distance, Mira felt her head twitch. He was a little relieved when he found houses that lined up, a sign he was close to the settlement residents.

Tired, hungry and traumatized, he fainted again by the roadside.

*****

"Mom, wake... Madam.."

Rushing Mira got up and spread her gaze around with a face of fear. The questions asked by those around him were ignored.

"Mom why would you faint on the street?" Asked a woman gently who was now looking at him fixedly.

Mira just looked back at the woman without answering at all.

"Where are you going, where?" Ask again.

Many times the person asked but Mira was confused about where to explain. Finally, he chose to shut up while crying.

"Yes, now I'm calm myself first.." The woman rubbed Mira's back.

After her crying subsided, Mira finally made a sound.

"I'm where? Why is it here?" asked Mira stammeredly.

"This is my house, ma'am. Earlier the fathers who wanted to go to the mosque found the mother collapsed on the side of the road." replied the woman.

"Actually, where are you going?"

"Do you want to be escorted to the police station?"

The woman's bargain because she saw Mira's face bruised like a trace of persecution.

Mira recalled what happened to her. Slowly, tears began to wash over her cheeks. Then he shook slowly.

"I want to go home..." He said slowly while bowing his face. Crying with a loud voice

*****

"The fountain.. Mom, is this really the Griya Sakinah complex?" Ask a father, with a helmet still attached to the head.

Mothers who were busy shopping at that time, immediately stopped the activity and simultaneously turned to the direction of the voice.

"Muhun Sir. Are you looking for someone?" Mother asked back.

"Not really, Mom. At dawn I wanted to congregate in the mosque, I found people fainting in the street. After waking up, the person asked to be escorted here. He said his house was here" explained the father again.

"Oh that, where's the guy sir? If you're a real citizen here, we know you.." Neni.

"That's Tea, the piggybacking of my friend." He said pointing at the motor that stopped in front of the mother's shop.

There are three people in one motorbike. While the very back seemed to hold the person sitting in the middle who was fleeting as if he was asleep. While his face is not clearly visible because it is covered with a hood jacket.

"It was like a former mistreated ma'am, was about to be escorted to the police station, but the man wanted to go home aja he said" he continued.

"Try Neni Tea, look at you, maybe the real person here..." The mother said so while coming out from behind the trading table.

Without saying much, Neni accompanied Citra to approach the person. Looking at the face behind the hood of the jacket that makes him so curious.

Neni's hand stretched out to open the veil that covered that face, when it opened, her reflexes screamed.

"Astagfirulloh's chat.. Mother Mira, this is Mira why?" It looked at Mira's pretty bruised face, as well as some burns such as cigarette stubs. He and Citra looked surprised.
