Mia's idea came at the right time. Mia and Haji Hamid came out of her room through the window. An hour has passed. At 9am. Bu Ningsih who felt very lonely and curious made him dare to knock on the door of Haji Hamid's room.
"Excuse me. Haji sir, Mia, wake up. It's 9 o'clock. It's not good to sleep until noon like this. Later rejeknya in chicken patuk. Let's get up first! Later in the day can sleep again if still sleepy," said Bu Ningsih.
Still no answer. Bu Ningsih knocked again on the door of Haji Hamid's room.
"Mia, I've been cooking for breakfast. It's cold, it's not good. Let's get up first!" said Ms. Ningsih again.
Bu Ningsih shook his head, he was upset at Haji Hamid for torturing his son. Last night's battle left Mia not awake at 9. Mia usually wakes up at 6 a.m. It turned out that Haji Hamid had a bad influence on his son.
When Bu Ningsih was grumbling in front of the door of Haji Hamid's room, Mia greeted him.
"Mother, what are you doing?" ask Mia.
"Mia?" Bu Ningsih was very surprised when he saw Mia carrying two bags of crackles filled with vegetables.
"Well, what are you doing there?" ask Mia.
"From market?" asked Bu Ningsih who was trying to divert the question from Mia.
"Yes. Here, Mia buys vegetables for stock next week!" mia said showing the pocket of crackle that is still held.
"Oh, yes. Mom cooked for breakfast. Let's eat first! You must miss mom's cooking, right?" ask Bu Ningsih.
Aye! For several months now, Mia has never eaten the cuisine of Bu Ningsih. Mia smiled and nodded. Bu Ningsih who was happy because Mia did not discuss anymore about herself, who was standing in front of the room door immediately approached Mia.
With great care and compassion, Ms. Ningsih prepared dishes and breakfast for Mia and Haji Hamid.
"Mom, don't be. Just let me!" said Mia holding the hand of Bu Ningsih who spooned the rice for her.
But Bu Ningsih still did all that. "Mom misses these times, son. I miss when preparing your breakfast, because you have to work early in the morning. I miss all that, Mia." Bu Ningsih's eyes look teary.
Mia felt her heart ache. A small incision of the tapjli within, mamou tore through the tear defenses that Mia had weathered from earlier. "Mother, Mia also missed all that. Thank you for being the best mom for Mia. And forgive Mia, because Mia can't make you happy." Mia's cry broke as she hugged Bu Ningsih.
Haji Hamid looked at all those scenes with envy. Mia is lucky to have someone who loves her. And Haji Hamid? The only one who loves him is Dev. And his decision to improve, made Haji Hamid confident that Dev would also stay away from him.
After the scene had finished, the three of them had breakfast. Probably heading to lunch. Time is getting late because of a lot of distractions.
After eating, Haji Hamid said goodbye to rest in his room. Dev's face always seemed to be in his mind. How the relationship that has been established for a long time must be extinct. Dev? He would have hated Haji Hamid so much. But that is the risk of his decision.
Dev, the man he had in mind was missing him. Video call, but ignored by Haji Hamid. His mind refused even though his little heart really missed that figure.
After Dev's call ended, Haji Hamid sent Dev a message. It was about his decision. Dev simply replied to his message without replying to it. Haji Hamid knows, Dev must be angry and very disappointed. However Haji Hamid tries to accept all of Dev's decisions.
When Haji Hamid was sad in his room, Mia entered and her eyes were swollen.
"You why?" ask Haji Hamid.
"Dev accuses Mia and her mother of influencing Pak Haji. Dev said he wanted to come here to make a calculation with Mia. Mia should how about Haji sir?" mia said with a sob.
Mia nodded. Haji Hamid immediately hugged Mia. "I'm sorry, Mia. You calm down! I promise Dev won't do anything to you and Miss Ningsih." Haji Hamid feels very disappointed in Dev.
Haji Hamid did not expect that Dev would involve Mia in his decision.
"Am I wrong, Mia?" haji Hamid asked after letting go of his embrace.
Mia shakes. "Sir Haji has made the right decision." Mia tried to respond to Haji Hamid.
"Why did everything go like this? Is this a punishment for me?" ask Haji hamid.
"Sir Haji, every time we do good there will be obstacles. And Allah will not give trials above the ability of His people. Mia believes Pak Haji can deal with all this. Mia sure," said mia reassured Haji Hamid.
"Are you sure I can?" ask Haji Hamid.
"May Mr. Haji, Mia sure." replied Mia.
"Mia listen to me! College in earnest. And after you graduate, I'll just calmly leave you alone." Haji Hamid felt that now Mia had to learn to be truly independent.
"What does Hajj mean?" asked Mia sadly.
"You know what I mean, Mia. Ii'm sorry. I just want to make you free Mia. The status of the widow will bring you to meet a man who can really love you as sincerely as possible" Haji Hamid said.
Mia could not hold back her tears and immediately dropped her body on the bed. "Pak Haji is evil with Mia. Pak Haji is evil," said Mia in her tears.
Haji Hamid did not respond. He just sat on the sofa in his room. His heart ached when he saw Mia who was always cheerful, now crying. And more painful, the crying was because of her actions.
"Mia, you can hate me. But you should know, as long as I'm with you, Dev's going after you. Dev will always think that you are the cause of my decision" Haji Hamid said.
"That's just a stale excuse for Mr. Haji. Mia is not afraid of Dev. Mia doesn't care how angry Dev is with Mia. As long as Mr. Haji does not leave Mia," said Mia.
Haji Hamid shakes. "Sorry Mia. I need to free you from Dev's threats. I can't make you bear all this burden. You've suffered enough with everything that's happened in your life. You deserve to be happy." Haji Hamid reassures Mia.
"Sir Haji is wrong. Mia will suffer more if Pak Haji ninggalin Mia. Stay right here. We'll face it all together." Mia begged.
"Mia, I feel like you're my son. I want you to be happy. I've made you suffer enough. It's time you should be happy with a free life, Mia." Haji Hamid was unable to look at the 30-year-old girl.
"Sir Haji, Mia please." Mia continues to plead for Haji Hamid to change his decision.
Haji Hamid did not answer. He prefers to approach Mia and hold her. Love is there, but not love. Not like husband and wife, but from brother to sister. Or maybe from father to son.
I'm sorry Mia. I want the best for you. I can't possibly let you always be in my twisting life. I have a lot to fix, but I am not young anymore. You deserve to be happy Mia. I'm sure you'll get a husband who really loves you, and can treat you like a husband to his wife. And that guy wasn't me. Sorry Mia, I'm sorry.
