To Mutia

To Mutia
Faisal Kamil's



"When I came in, I heard a loud noise coming from your room. I thought you were having a fight with one of the residents in this house, but it turns out there's only a couple quarrel here."


As minutes passed in silence, Yudha again let out her voice while throwing a cynical look at Faisal who was still trembling behind Mutia's back, before turning her attention to Mutia who was looking at him with a frowning forehead.


"Sorry, if my presence is disturbing, but I just want to remind you. It seems you forgot, I told you once when you were going to live in this house, that every resident in my house is strictly forbidden to bring a man, let alone to put him in the room. And what you're doing is really disappointing, Mutia." continued Yudha, causing Mutia to panic, shaking her head while shaking both hands.


"Something seems to be a misunderstanding here."


Faisal caught the attention of Yudha and Mutia. The teenager was not at all bothered by Yudha's sharp gaze, just to make a smile, when the black bead glittered amusedly.


With light steps, not intimidated by the hostile aura that Yudha gave off, Faisal approached Yudha. Standing next to Mutia, she extended her hand to the twenty-seven-year-old man before her.


"I'm Faisal Kamil. Mutia's sister."


Seeing Yudha's reaction when she heard his words made Faisal smile widely. The widened eyes and surprised look that appeared on Yudha's handsome face, strengthened the thought that a moment ago filled her brain.


"And you?"


Yudha cleared her throat, then immediately shook Faisal's hand. "I Yudha. At..."


"Yuk Mutia's boss?" cut off Faisal, who got a stiff nod from Yudha.


After their handshake was removed, Yudha directed her attention to Mutia who had been silently observing since.


"So..he's your sister?"


Mutia's soul, which had disappeared from her body a moment ago, had now returned and made the pregnant woman scream in shock. Then clumsily nodded his head, before turning to Faisal.


"You got a student card?"


Although puzzled, Faisal nodded his head. "It's in the wallet, in the front bag."


A second later Mutia approached Faisal's backpack. Taking his sister's student card, then switch to open the wardrobe. After finding what she was looking for, Mutia returned before Yudha.


"This is Faisal's student card. His name is the same as the one on our family card. And this is a picture of our family taken one year before Father died." along with that Mutia thrust out the three items she mentioned to Yudha, to further convince the man.


Faisal had been observing Yudha. Starting from body gestures, until the expression of his face. And now Faisal saw relief in Yudha's face and gaze after seeing the files Mutia gave, even Faisal had heard Yudha's breath, too, it was as if he had just released a heavy burden from within his heart.


"okay." Yudha muttered, then returned the files of Mutia. "Please continue talking. But please.don't raise your voice. The neighbors are afraid to hear and must think the same as I was."


Mutia nodded. A second later Yudha stepped away, leaving Mutia who instantly closed the door of her room and took a deep breath.


"Oh my God, my heart almost jumped out" he said, clutching his chest.


"Aah, Ayuk is overrated. If it's not wrong, why should it be that hot." Faisal commented, then laughed amusedly.


"If not wrong, if in the face as sharp as that boss, still make a taste."


Ignoring his sister's annoyed look, Faisal went back to discussing their initial subject.


"So... How old is he?" faisal's chin hung out toward Mutia's large belly.


"Eight months."


"Oh my God," this time Faisal's hand moved to nourish the hair. Then she remembered something that made her turn away instantly. "Just like half a year here, that means this kid..."


Mutia nodded. "A few days arrived in Bali, it turns out I was eight weeks pregnant."


"Astagfirullah, Ayuk. How can you, before you split up you can make a child first, huh?"


"Sal, I didn't know about Haikal and Sonya's affair. I also never thought that we would end up at the green table. Don't you corner me like this." sitting on the bedside, Mutia covered her face and sobbed softly.


Faisal felt pity and guilt at seeing Mutia who looked so depressed. Easing his emotions, Faisal approached Mutia, sitting side by side.


"Sorry, I didn't mean to corner Ayuk." embracing Mutia, Faisal brought the woman to lean on him. "I was just angry at Haikal. Maybe the bastard got Ayuk pregnant, then left Ayuk."


"At that time Haikal was drunk. He did it in an unconscious state and forgot what had happened."


Creating a distance, Faisal stared fixedly at Mutia. "So she didn't know that Ayuk was pregnant?"


Mutia shook her head. "I didn't tell anyone but Arumi, Kavira and now you. Even everyone here that year my husband is dead."


"God willing, let's lie."


Closing her face, Mutia rubbed slowly. "First time, I accidentally said that my husband was dead. And now I'm a mess."


Faisal brought Mutia back into his arms. Faisal gently rubbed the upper arm of the brother. "Ayuk didn't tell me about Tono?"


Mutia shook her head. "If I tell Dad, I'm sure you'll fight for my son's rights and that means I have to go back to Haikal, while I don't want that to happen."


"Yes, Ayuk is right. I would no longer accept him as a brother-in-law. She's also about to have a child, so I'm sure she won't want this child. So let this baby be born knowing the fact that he only has a Mother and uncle who love him so much."


Looking up, Mutia looked at Faisal with teary eyes. "You received this baby?"


"Even though I hated his father who was that jerk, yet within him also flowed Ayuk's blood. So how could I possibly hate her." Like an older sister, Faisal rubbed Mutia's long mane, then landed a kiss on the top of the pregnant woman's head. "By the way, why didn't Ayuk tell me? If today I don't see Ayuk, maybe I just found out when Ayuk came home to Prabu and took a toddler."


Mutia laughed crisply in Faisal's warm embrace. "I don't want to talk about it over the phone or skype. Because I'm sure you'll react like that. And if you're angry, you'll turn off the call immediately, then follow me here soon. It doesn't matter if you miss school. And I don't want that to happen."


Faisal sighed softly, then looked around Mutia's room. "Well, I said I work as a housekeeper, but why is Ayuk's room this good?"


"I'm sorry, I haven't been able to tell you. When you called me back then, I actually stopped at my old job and was accepted by Mas Yudha. So the sales at his car dealership."


Supposing Faisal was a response to Mutia's speech. Then there was a voice from Faisal's stomach, making the teenager look at Mutia while putting on a wide grin.
