The Story of the Sky
Bereft

Tiara could not bear it anymore, her heart was already very disappointed. The plan that had been designed with Fadil for a month ago, turned out to be destroyed today. Should, today is a happy day for him, can be with Fadil the lover of his heart. Let go of each other's longing, which they've been pending for a month. Because during this past month, they very rarely met.

However, because of her brother Yunita, everything became a mess. In fact, it had been all day, Tiara had not met Fadil. And even more sad, that the news of where Fadil was Tiara still did not know.

Tiara who was scolded by her mother was getting sadder, she immediately ran into the depths of her room. Locking the door of the room, then laying down his body on the bed, while hugging the bolster pillow he cried. Her tears flowed so hard, that the pillows and bolsters she hugged became wet.

Mr. Shahroni approached the door of Tiara's room, trying to open it. But the door was locked. Then he knocked on the door.

''Tiara..,Tiara.., open the door!''

There was still no answer from inside, the door remained locked, only a sobbing of Tiara could be heard.

'' Tiara.., open the door!, let me in, I want to talk to you.''

After several times Syahroni knocked on the door, but there was no response from Tiara, he finally went away from the door, and allowed Tiara to calm down in his room.

Tiara's heart and body were already feeling very tired, she finally fell asleep after crying for quite a long time. From the look on his face while sleeping, it seemed like Tiara was dreaming. Occasionally Tiara frowned, her face looking like one who was exhausted. In every pore of his skin, it also let out sweat. In fact, the occasional Tiara screamed while crying, showing the uneasiness and sadness of her heart. Not only in his kingdom, even to get carried away in his dreamland.

Tiara kept running. Walk along a path full of steep rocks, pass through tall bushes and grasses, and finally arrive at the edge of a vast lake. From the edge of the lake, he saw a raft boat moving away, heading towards the middle of the lake.

A young man in white clothes stood on the boat. Staring at Tiara who was standing on the edge of the lake, her eyes were hard to decipher. The young man, dressed in all white, was no stranger to Tiara, but Fadil was his lover.

'' A.., Wait A, don't go.!, don't leave Tiara..!''

Tiara kept calling out to Fadil who was still standing still on the raft. The atmosphere in the lake was so quiet, with very clear and calm water, no waves rippling, nor was there any wind blowing. However, the raft boat that Fadil was riding kept moving away, as if someone was pedaling the raft boat. Though it looks very clear, the raft boat was only boarded by Fadil who was standing staring, looking at Tiara who began to sob while calling Fadil.

'' A Fadil..! don't go, don't leave Tiara A, take Tiara with you, Tiara wants to come with you A Fadil!, huu..,''

Tiara's cry became more and more, she continuously called out to Fadil. Until the raft boat boarded by Fadil, reached the middle of the lake and stopped there. A staircase leading to the sky was faintly visible, along with the loss of the thick white mist that enveloped the surface in the middle of the lake, the longer it seemed the more obvious.

Fadil stepped up the stairs. Tiara was relentless, constantly calling out to Fadil while crying as she pleased. When Fadil reached the third step, Fadil stopped. He then turned his head towards Tiara, smiling very sweetly at Tiara. Then turn up the next rung and so on. Every time Fadil climbed the stairs, miraculously the stairs behind him suddenly disappeared.

At the end of the stairs that are above the white clouds, looks a very spacious and beautiful garden. Along the way in the park, there are various types of colorful flowers blooming. Some species of birds, and also very beautiful butterflies, are also flying here and there so freely.

In front of the beautiful garden gate, stood some very beautiful girls. They were wearing such beautiful clothes, and looked like they were waiting to welcome Fadil's arrival. A little while later, Fadil had reached the gate of the garden. Without turning his head, Fadil continued to walk into the park, accompanied by beautiful girls who had been waiting for him.

Along with the footsteps of Fadil who entered the garden gate, a very thick white fog covered the shadow of Fadil's body. Then it slowly began to disappear, along with the loss of Fadil and the others. It left a blue sky and the silence of the place.

Tiara grew hysterical, she kept shouting Fadil's name.

'' A Fadil.., do not go A!, do not leave Tiara!''

'' A Fadil.., Tiara please, please don't leave Tiara alone!"

'' A Fadil.!, A Fadil.!, hu...''

Tiara still sobbed while calling out Fadil's name.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck..

'' Tiara, wake up Tiara.!, wake up!, open the door..!''

Geck.. Geck.. Geck..

'' Tiara, open the door..!''

Outside the door of Tiara's room, Tiara's father and mother kept knocking on the door. Calling Tiara to open the door to her room. The tiara who had been delirious, was now awake. Then sit on the bed. His body rests on the wall behind him.

Slowly Tiara began to realize that she had just been dreaming. Dreaming of seeing Fadil dressed in all white, going to a beautiful garden, leaving himself sitting on the edge of the lake.

Tiara felt shock at the thought of her dream, it was clearly all just a dream, but in her feelings she felt it felt so real. The shadows from his dreamland were, like something very real.

Tiara's body felt so tired, like running away. Her tears were still dripping from the corners of her two eyes. So shocked, that he did not realize that from then on his father and mother were calling him, asking him to open the door.

Tiara then grabs her phone, looking for Fadil's number to make the call. However, before Tiara could make the call, there was an announcement from the loudspeakers at the mosque.

Deg.., Tiara's heart suddenly thumped, upon hearing the announcement of the death news from the loudspeaker. Suddenly, his feelings became unpleasant. His hunch stated there was something bad about the news.

'' We have passed away, our brother, Muhammad Fadil bin Abdul Manan.''

Duarr.., like being struck by lightning, Tiara's heart when called the name of the deceased person, although Tiara still could not believe what she had just heard, but she reacted immediately. Tiara immediately got out of her bed, opened the door of the room and went out standing in front of her door. He wanted to make sure that what he had heard just now was a mistake.

When Tiara opened the door to her room, Syahroni and Lilis were still standing in front of the door to Tiara's room. Khusu' listened to the announcement, then followed Tiara out of his house.

'' Once again, Innailaihi wa innailaihi roji'un. We have returned to the mercy of Allah, our brother, namely:, Muhammad Fadil bin Abdul Manan. Died today, at approximately 14:00, this afternoon in Baturaja. He will be buried today. For that, to the whole community, please be present at the funeral home, to help the funeral procession of the deceased brother. Thank you, wassalamu'alaikum Warohmatullahi wabarokatuh."

Tiara stood glued to her place, staring blankly ahead. What he had just heard, had really taken him by surprise. His mind is still between believing and not believing. Miss Lilis and Mr. Syahroni were also silent behind Tiara. Not talking or doing anything, they just looked at the body of Tiara who was behind him. Tiara then opened the screen of her mobile phone that she had been holding, then made a call to Fadil's number, which she had not had time to do.

Foeto.. Foetish... Foetish...

The number has been activated, but not yet raised, until the third time Tiara tries to repeat the call, then the call is connected.

'' Hello.., Assalamualaikum.'' a voice came from across.

'' Hello, A Fadil..!'' Tiara immediately said without recognizing the voice of her interlocutor.

'' Not bi, it's with Alfin!''

'' Alfin!, how can A Fadil's phone be the same as yours? Where's A Fadil? Where are you again?'' Tiara did not stop nyerocos.

'' I'm on the street again, uncle's cell phone is indeed Alfin who brought, and uncle Fadil..''

Alfin paused for a moment, it felt like he was a bit heavy to say that sentence to Tiara, moreover he also knew, that Tiara was Fadil's lover uncle.

'' Uncle Fadil, there's no bi!'' continue the next Alfin.

Tiara suddenly drooped, her chest felt so tight, then her eyes immediately darkened, then she fainted. Mr. Syahroni and Ms. Lilis who also heard Tiara's conversation with Alfin on the phone, saw that Tiara was about to collapse, they immediately caught Tiara's body. Carrying her, then laying Tiara's body in her room.

Vita and Yunita who were taking a nap, also woke up. After washing their faces, the two headed to the living room. Found her father and mother carrying Tiara's body unconscious.

'' Well.., Tiara why? So, what announcement was it?'' ask Yunita.

'' Fadil died replied Ms. Lilis briefly.

'' Innalillahi wainna ilaihi roji'un..'' Vita and Yunita are together.

'' When? So why? This time Vita asked.

'' Just now, but did not know his face, but he died in Baturaja.''

'' Baturaja? Vita and Yunita are almost at the same time.

'' Is it possible because of an accident huh?'' Vita asked back.

'' I don't know, but maybe!'' answer Mr. Shahroni briefly.

Hearing that, suddenly Yunita's mind became chaotic, her heart felt careless, sadness and also guilt over this incident, making her heart really dilemma. After all, he was the initial cause Tiara and Fadil failed to meet today. In fact, if the news of Fadil's death is true, then not only can they not meet today, but also for a long time.

Suddenly Yunita felt a rumble, she sat down on the dresser chair in the room, staring at Tiara who was still unconscious.

'' Tiara, forgive me Tiara!, hu.hu..'' Yunita sobbing.

Bu Lilis approached Yunita.

'' Never mind!, there is no point in being regretted, everything has happened.''

In the hearts and minds of both Tiara's parents, they were also actually feeling restless. However, they realize that Tiara and Fadil, both of whom love each other very much. It would certainly be very hard for Tiara, if she lost the person she loved forever.
