Picking Up the Past

Inner Bond

A bright morning on the earth, the warm sun on everyone on the streets that morning, Tomy glanced at the clock on his phone which showed at 08:54. While Abel sat on the sofa while looking at some of the items he wanted to buy at the online store.

Tomy breathed a long breath, her mind was still not calm with Arya's words last night, she realized Mila's position was very dangerous Arya, ‘I have to make sure Mila chooses Arya and protects her inner Arya,’.

Tomy then unlocks her phone and searches for Mila's contact.

Mila who was explaining the lesson in front of the class for a moment stopped hearing her cellphone notification, she then glanced at her phone and then saw her students who were still watching her.

Mila then ignored her phone and resumed the lesson. But moments later, the Notification on Mila's phone went back to sound and made him stop from the sentence he delivered to his student. Mila takes a pissed breath, ‘who the hell?’

Mila then approached towards the teacher's desk and immediately picked up her phone. His eyes narrowed in astonishment at the name of the person who sent the chat to him.

‘assalamualaikum Mil, where are you?’ Tomy.

‘I no need, we have to meet now’ Tomy.

‘walaikumussalam Tom, I'm again at Tom's school, later I will go to the hospital to see you’ Mila,

‘Send your school address’ Tomy.

Mila read the message with a confused feeling, ‘Tomy why?, does she want to come here?, she will still hurt her inner’.

‘later I'll go to the hospital, I finish my hours first’ Mila.

‘send now!’ Mila is more confused with Tomy, she then notices her students are still staring at her, the students are waiting for the veiled teacher to immediately continue the lesson.

‘send!!!!’ Tomy.

‘astaga, this is Tomy why the hell?’ the inner Mila who began to feel strange because of Tomy's sudden strange attitude like that. Mila then relented and sent her school address, she then saved her phone and resumed the lesson.

After getting Mila's school address, Tomy then glanced towards Abel, ‘I couldn't possibly talk about this in front of Abel, I had to figure out a way to go meet Mila now’ her inner self.

“Bel, what are you busy with?” tomy asked Abel in her gentle tone.

“I again look around accessories for wedding, I want to prepare the best for our wedding later” replied Abel innocently.

“really, Bel, can you help me not?, I want to eat something” said Tomy a little spoiled,

“what do you want to eat?" ask Abel who's been affected by Tomy's spoiled tone.

“what a time Bel, I was tired of hospital food” replied Tomy, Abel for a moment thought long while looking at Tomy, He then smiled when thinking about one of Tomy's favorite foods.

“ok, you wait here yes, I will buy something for you”

Abel then stepped out of the room excitedly. With his innocent mind, he was so sure Tomy would like what he bought. After a while his bedroom door closed, Tomy immediately got up, he opened all the equipment attached to his body, he then got off the bed and immediately went out of his room.

“maaf Bel” murmured slowly.

Mila who was sitting at the teacher's desk was watching her students who were doing the tasks she gave, she watched her students closely so that there was no cheating there, he said, his eyes watched carefully every strange movement that emerged from the seats of those Elementary School disciples.

While the students of Mila do their homework with a fear of seeing the veiled teacher who has been teaching them, even though Mila has been teaching using a veil for more than 4 months at the school, it still did not take away the fear in the hearts of its students.

On the other hand, he also often gets a warning from the headmaster about his veil, many guardians who complain to the headmaster because their child is afraid of Mila, what else these days, what else, the issue of veiled teachers at the school has also reached the Education Office, increasingly making Mila uncomfortable with her veil.

Mila's phone suddenly rang, she narrowed her eyes looking at the name of the person calling her, Mila immediately picked her up, "what's wrong sister?" ask Mila to the person who called her.

"said the school security guard, there is a man waiting for you at the gate" replied Syifa across the phone,

"men? who?"

"sister does not know Mil, yes, sister still has class now" Syifa closed the phone.

Mila thought long for a moment because of that, "Tomy" he muttered slowly because he remembered that he had sent the school address to Tomy, Mila then got up and left her classroom without saying anything to her students who were still working on their assignments. He is still confused by Tomy's attitude which is suddenly not as usual.

And there Tomy is now standing in front of the school gate watching the school environment.

“astaga Tomy, you why here” said Mila who could not believe the existence of Tomy who stood with her nursing clothes and her face that looked pale.

"there are important things that I have to talk to you about with you”, said Tomy with a gentle smile on Mila, even though she knew Mila betrayed Arya, after all she was the same as Arya, not being able to be rude to women, no matter how bad the behavior of the woman.

Tomy's smiling face instantly turned confused after seeing the 2 sturdy men now standing nearby and Mila.

"who are you?” ask Tomy in her tone.

Mila's eyes suddenly rounded in shock, he immediately turned his body and rightly guessed, 2 of his guards were already standing there, Mila directly stretched her hands to protect Tomy from the 2 people.

“ini brother Arya, you guys do not misunderstand” said Mila with a worried tone, he was afraid that 2 men would hit Tomy like they hit Arnes. But Mila is confused because the two men pay respect to Tomy and also herself.

“sorry sir, you shouldn't be here, you're still sick” one of them told Tomy regardless of what Mila said. Tomy glanced at the pin that 2 people were wearing, the pin that had the symbol of 3A made him know who the 2 people were,

“there are important things that I have to talk to him, you please make sure no one listens to our conversation" said Tomy kindly to the 2 people, who, The attitude that always makes people who know Tomy and Arya will always respect them.

“well Sir, but please tell us if your body can no longer stand, we will immediately take you to the hospital” one of them replied to Tomy.

Mila then glanced at Tomy in confusion, “do you know who they are Tom?”

“see the pin they wear Mil, it's a special pin Ari made for her confidants” Tomy smiled at Mila.

Mila and Tomy were sitting in a park not far from Mila's school, while 2 of Mila's bodyguards stood not far from them near the park's entrance.

They stood firmly, their eyes keenly watching the surroundings around the park, making sure no one was listening to Tomy and Mila talk.

“why do you suddenly want to see me?, I will be able to go to the hospital if there is something we need to talk about” said Mila opened their long chat.

“This is an important talk about Arya, in the hospital there is Abel who will not give us time to talk together like this” replied Tomy.

Suddenly Mila's phone rang and she immediately pulled out her phone from her black skirt pocket. He can see written Arya's name there, “Arya called me” muttered Mila slowly which made Tomy smile to hear her.

“you've seen the sendirikan, what kind of inner bond between us, he even already knows if I'm with you now”

Mila looked at Tomy with a confused face, not yet had Mila lift Arya's phone, Tomy had already snatched the phone first.
