"honey, where?"
the notification sound of WhatsApp messages appears on Mira's phone. Mira checked when she was in the mbok ci. mbok ci stall owner who often gave free meals every Friday.
Mira was seconded to help mbok ci prepare all the food to be distributed. stalls are always attached in Mira.
Mira who was looking at the notification, without replying but directly contacted her.
"Hey, morning.last night where did I call you, baby?" ask Mira normally
"morning baby, I'm sorry. I'm asleep!" Fatih answered with a smile of guilt
Mira seemed to not believe the unusual behavior performed by Fatih. Fatih who always slept a little night but that night he slept so early.
"Unusual?" ask Mira
"iya gapapa want it" Fatih confused what to answer
Mira does not want to continue that discussion. Mira asked back about her whereabouts.
"where?"
"oh, outside baby. Mira is what "
Fatih asked back because she did not know the whereabouts of Mira at that time.
"oh at the mbok ci stall, used to eat Friday"
Fatih felt a coincidence because he was there. Fatih plans to surprise Mira after Friday prayers at the mosque not far from the mbok ci. fatih stalls that have arrived at the airport and immediately fly to Surabaya.
Fatih has to meet someone first before she has to meet Mira. Fatih who has been assigned in Surabaya for the next two months.
at 09.00 am Fatih arrived at Juanda airport in Surabaya. Fatih approached the place where he had to stay and work.
Mbok Ci shop, Warung,
that afternoon the food was ready to be distributed. a mixed rice stall owned by mbok Ci. approximately two hundred packs of rice every Friday given. Mira was never absent during his time in Surabaya always helped mbok Ci.
"already all the mbok ci, I put it in front huh?" ask Mira who is completing her task. Mira is not alone but there is Princess Mbok ci who is the same age as Mira is also helping.
Mira and son mbok ci who is arranging rice wrap. a woman appeared in the stall mbok Ci was about to eat.
"Eh Mira, see you again!"
Mira stared,
"Elis..."
"here... want to eat?" connect Mira.
Elis nodded. actually Elis did not think that Mira was there. This was the first time he was in the stall mbok ci. not only Mira was shocked, but Mira was shocked, Elis was also surprised because of their meeting which seemed to be the fate of God.
"we often meet Mira" Elis who came while hugging Mira just like that.
Mira smiled and tried to be friendly with him. Mira was still a little awkward due to the story of Elis back then that had been troubling her mind. Mira took off her embrace.
"Have you met Fatih, Elis?" ask Mira
"oh no, tomorrow I'm going to Jakarta."
Mira seemed resigned and prayed that it would not happen.
"sit down first I get you some food" Mira who serves well.
Mira asks Elis to sit down and Mira will take food for Elis.
Elis was sitting in a stall mbok ci. mosque worshipers had been scrambling to get rice wrap mbok Ci. mbok ci and also his daughter who took rice wrap for the pilgrims.
"Assalamualaikum," a man greeted that afternoon.
Elis who was at the stall turned to the man.
"Trainer.." Elis gawked to see that the one who came was Fatih.
Fatih was also shocked after seeing the woman who appeared was not Mira but Elis, the former.
Elis ran towards Fatih and hugged her tightly. Fatih was speechless and tried to release Elis' embrace which was tightly stuck to the glue tub.
Mira who took the food for Elis came out by seeing Elis who had hugged Fatih. was surprised instead of playing Mira saw the incident that afternoon.
Mira who was carrying a plate of rice in her hand accidentally dropped as a result of the incident.
everyone was there, mbok nah, and his son was no exception Fatih and Elis who were hugging was shocked to hear the fragments of the plate.
Mira leaves Ci's mbok stall and lets Fatih and Elis embrace. Mira with one leg that has difficulty to run. soon Mira looking for transportation to ride.
Mira prevents Fatih who has been trying to chase after her. Fatih was trying to explain what really happened back then. Mira rejects him and leaves Fatih who is still in the shop mbok Ci. Fatih can't do much, he only knows Mira's attitude otherwise ya don't.
Fatih let Mira temporarily calm herself down. Fatih sat back at the mbok Ci stall feeling guilty.
"Sorry"
Elis stroked Fatih's shoulder.
Fatih still lowered her head and tried hard. Fatih sobbed until she finally dared to say a few words.
"You know how Elis is" Fatih asked him.
"Well, actually I plan to go to Jakarta to see you tomorrow. uh you're here first"
"What, to Jakarta" Fatih asserted
"meet me! why?"
fatih
Elis explained to Fatih about his plan as well as his meeting with Mira at the cafe campus.
"The message he gave yesterday was not clear!" Fatih chimed in on Elis' story.
"sorry, how are you going with Mira?" elis asked with a look in Fatih's eyes
"why do we try to explain to Mira about this marriage slowly"
Elis nodded as he thanked Fatih who had always been there for him.
mbok ci who accidentally eavesdropped on the conversation Fatih and Elis came to approach at his table.
"So you mean like this Fatih? so I know everything!" mbok ci intercepted them both.
Fatih and Elis were scared because the lady who had eavesdropped on her conversation was.
"take Ci don't tell Mira ya about any of this!" Elis pleaded with mbok Ci
"This is all for our good, I don't want Mira to know all this from others, let me and Elis who will tell this all to Mira." Fatih said.
mbok Ci who felt bad and mbok Ci promised not to say this to Mira.
"Yes, I won't tell him.Solve your problems well before it's too late"
mbok ci who gave advice to Fatih and Elis.
the sea of tears that afternoon snatched Surabaya.the feeling was not good because it enveloped Mira that afternoon. Mira needs the figure of Vina and Alif her best friend who should know Mira's feelings at that time. I don't know what Mira should do. Mira is helpless and feels life is getting more and more clueless.A newly organized heart has brought back a heart-wrenching destruction.
either Mira has to fight back or has to give life to the destiny of God. Mira did not think at length over all this. Mira cries, Mira looks at her fingers with a ring that has been coiled. Mira remembered the words of Fatih at that time,
...see dear, this ring will forever be on this finger...
Mira increasingly cries for Fatih's promise to her. Such fear has always been a ghost in Mira's life.
