The Secret Daughter of the Mafia King
20. LOW-SPIRITED

After the holiday, the Mikaila family returned to their hometown in Palembang. Syakira looks gloomy when there is no more playmates who always accompany her at all times.

"Darling! On Monday you will return to school. You will meet with your school friends again. Are you not happy?"

"Love mom."

"That means you can change your gloomy face back to cheerful, hmm!"

"Good Mom."

Syakira walks into her room and prepares her school book for Monday.

"Mother! if you'd known that I wasn't happy at that school, you might understand why I was so moody to see my cousin back home today." Ogre SYAKIRA.

Syakira recalls her conversation with Lintang and Lia.

"Are your schoolmates any fun?"

"YES SYAKIRA! There we've always been familiar with each other." Answer Lia.

"Have anyone ever bullied you?"

"Never. We always get along even though sometimes there are also those who fight because there are friends who are stingy to lend his writing equipment." Latitude

"Is your friend being bad to you, SYAKIRA?"

The latitude asked.

"Ah, no. They're all good to me."

Syakira lied so that her cousin would not complain to her mother.

"My mom was tired of working all day. I don't want to disappoint him." Inner SYAKIRA.

"Do you not want to feel the school in Indonesia SYAKIRA?"

"Maybe someday I'll move to Indonesia and school there." SayakIRA.

Tick.tock...

Syakira immediately climbed into her bed as her mother opened the door of her room.

"Jeroy! Are you going to sleep, baby?"

Mikaila was sitting next to her daughter who was looking at pictures of their family.

"Mom's soon!"

"alright. Then what are we telling each other so we can make SYAKIRA sleep?"

"Tell me about mom. Is there currently a crush on my mom?"

"Much."

"Are they handsome?"

"Unfortunately they're ugly so mom doesn't like it."

"What kind of man do you like?"

"Mother has no wish to remarry SYAKIRA."

"Is it because of SYAKIRA, you don't want to get married again?"

"It's not because you love."

"Is mother's love only for father?"

Degggg..

"Sleep baby! It's already night. You have to go to school tomorrow. Don't get up late."

Mikaila did not want to answer her daughter's question about Zefran.

"Good mother."

Syakira recited a sleep prayer and closed her eyes.

Not long after, Syakira's breathing had started to stabilize. Mikaila tidied up her daughter's blanket and kissed SYAKIRA's forehead gently.

He also did not forget to turn off the room lights and turn on the sleep lights.

Mikaila returned to her room and took a break.

The next day, Mikaila drove her daughter to school. The first day of school after the holidays brings its own fun for the school children.

Either the holiday satisfaction they feel or their longing for their friends and teachers makes them excited this morning. But not with SYAKIRA, the flat face seemed calm down from his car.

"Darling! Diligent learning and should be eager to receive lessons from your teacher. Appreciate your friends even if they're different from you." Mikaila then kissed her daughter's cheek.

"Don't be late, ma'am!"

"God willing, dear. I'll try to pick you up on time." Mikaila said as she waved her hand towards her daughter who was smiling at her.

Mikaila left her daughter's school and headed straight for her company.

Dreett...

Mikaila reached for the phone beside her. He then put on a bluetooth headset while talking to doctor Ae RI who contacted him first.

"Have you returned from Jakarta, Mikaila?"

"Didn't you miss me?"

"Of course it's kangen. I want to meet you too. Can we have lunch together?"

"alright. We met at our restaurant." Said doctor Ae RI.

"Ready Doctor!"

The two chuckled as they ended their conversation.

...----------------...

"Good morning Miss Mikaila !"

Mikaila bowed her Korean-style respect as the employees greeted her. He entered his study followed by his secretary, Araa.

Araa offered several clothing designs from several teams of company designers who worked at the Mikaila company.

"This is Miss, the design of the dress fits the theme for the upcoming snow season. It's from two teams that are testing their ability to make a contribution to the company. Please choose which one you like?"

"Are they able to review their designs directly on me? I need the details in order to determine which design products we need to prioritize." Mikaila.

"Just a second! I'll call them first."

Araa contacted the company's two design teams.

"Miss Mikaila wants you to come to her room because she wants you to explain directly the results of your design." Araa.

"Currently can't because we're outside again. We're shooting new works with some models from our company's subscription agency." Aereum.

"How many hours did it finish shooting?"

"Maybe till noon."

"Do you guys do outdoor shooting?"

"Yes!"

"alright. I'll tell Miss Mikaila again."

Araa relayed a message from their two designer teams that were outside the company.

"It's okay. I can meet them in the afternoon. I haven't been able to pinpoint the model of winter clothes we're going to launch next month." Mikaila.

"But they said they'd meet you in the afternoon."

"I have an appointment with my best friend for lunch. So I don't know if I'm going back to the company or if I'm going to pick up my daughter back from school." Mikaila.

"Well, Miss, I'll rearrange your meeting schedule." Secretary of Araa.

"Thank you Araa!"

"Fine miss. Excuse me!"

Araa returned to her study.

At about twelve in the afternoon, Mikaila had already skied to her favorite restaurant. Upon arrival there, doctor Ae RI, waved her hand to call the newly arrived Mikaila while circulating her gaze looking for her best friend.

The two hugged each other let go of longing and asked how they were doing.

Mikaila tells about what happened to Zefran who already knew that SYAKIRA was her biological daughter.

Doctor Ae RI gasps at Mikaila's story of how she escaped from Zefran's surveillance who wanted to seize her daughter SYAKIRA.

"Curtain! It used to be rejected now begging to SYAKIRA. Thank goodness SYAKIRA returned her heartache to her father. Zefran deserves his daughter's rejection." Doctor Ae RI.

Not long after their order came too. They both enjoyed their lunch.

But Mikaila felt her body feel extremely weak at this moment. But he forced himself to enjoy his food.

"Micilla! Are you sick? Why is your face suddenly pale like that?"

"Maybe I'm just tired or maybe I've been thinking a lot lately." Mikaila said while occasionally coughing.

"No Mikaila! Looks like you're very sick. We're going to the hospital, right?"

"No need for Doctor Ae RI."

"It has. Don't be stubborn Mikaila. I'm a doctor, so I know that you're very sick right now." Omel doctor Ae RI.

The two finished their lunch and Mikaila was allowed to go to the toilet.

"I'll take you to the toilet."

"No! I can do it myself doctor."

Mikaila got up and staggered.

Just a few steps away, Mikaila fell unconscious.

"Milaaahoo!"

Strangled doctor AE RI when he saw his best friend fainted.

Mikaila was immediately taken to the hospital by doctor Ae RI.

"Mother!"

Syakira stopped her lunch when she saw her mother faint in her inner vision.
