The Story of the Sky

The Story of the Sky
A conviction


For a while, the atmosphere at the dining table was so quiet. They are immersed in their own thoughts. After Alan sat there, and everything was still drowning in silence, Alan finally opened the word.


'' Sorry sir, mbak..! Have you ever known anyone who is somewhat similar to me? is that guy named Fadil?'' alan looked at the two.


Tiara and Pak Syahroni looked at each other. After being asked by Alan, they only realized that the person in front of him was not Fadil as they had thought.


'' I yes mas, and indeed this mas is really similar to Fadil, almost no difference at all except the color of your skin.'' said Mr. Syahroni, said, answer questions from Alan.


Tiara was still dumbfounded. Alan's face was deep. I don't know what he is feeling right now, but from the two corners of his beautiful eyes, the clear water droplets flow slowly.


'' I'm sorry, did the person you mentioned earlier, have died a year ago from an accident?'' asked Alan curiously.


The main purpose of Alan coming to Baturaja is to find the address of the Fadil family. But unexpectedly, on this trip he even met people who knew Fadil he was looking for. Therefore, when Mr. Syahroni said that he was similar to Fadil, he felt excited because he had found a clue.


'' Yes, he died almost a year ago. According to the story I heard, he died due to a collision on the Baturaja causeway, replied Mr. Syahroni.


Hearing what Mr. Shahroni said, Alan was absolutely convinced that the person in question was the person he was looking for. Alan then turned his head towards Tiara. As Alan turned his head towards Tiara, he saw Tiara shed tears. Seeing such a Tiara, Alan felt heartless. He felt like he wanted to grab onto Tiara and hug her. For some reason, his heart felt the pain of seeing such a Tiara.


'' Ma'am Tiara why are you crying?'' alan then gave his handkerchief to Tiara.


Slowly, Tiara, who was looking down, raised her face to look at Alan. Then slowly, he reached out his hand to receive a handkerchief from Alan. Mr. Syahroni and Zul, just watching the two like watching a drama scene. What this Alan did, Tiara was like being with her lover Fadil. He felt, the attention given by Alan, was really like the affection Fadil gave him.


'' What is this Fadil? how can I know Fadil and why ask him?'' ask Mr. Syahroni was surprised.


'' I am not who he is, but I am looking for the address of his home and family Alan replied, not wanting to explain further about the purpose and purpose in his heart.


'' Oh yes, how can this mas know my son Tiara?'' asked Mr. Syahroni also felt surprised that Alan also knew Tiara.


'' Oh. that!. That's what I met with this mom, a few months ago when she was with Naila.'' Alan replied.


Tiara then began to recall the kidnapping incident. He recalled seeing Fadil's face, the moment after waking up from fainting and before he fainted again. He also recalled that Naila said the person who had helped him was named Alan and had a handsome face similar to Hitrik Roshan. Unmistakably, his heart said that the person in front of him was the one who had helped him at that time.


'' Is this mas kang Alan, santrinya Abah from Jakarta?'' tiara looked at Alan's face.


'' Certainly mbak.'' replied Alan briefly.


'' Then I say thank you very much for the help of Alan at that time. And sorry, I can say it in person now. Once again thank you kang.'' said Tiara while putting both hands in front of the chest.


Mr. Shahroni who did not understand what he meant they just quietly listened. While Zul who had heard the story from Alan, now began to understand, if it turns out Tiara was the person who was helped by Alan from the kidnapping carried out by Deddy at that time.


'' Oh yes, let's have breakfast first!, later we continue this conversation. I also later if you don't mind, want to ask your father to show you the address of Fadil mas.'' said Alan who did not want to discuss everything in this place.


Although with a feeling that is difficult to describe, they finally ate the dish that has been served on the table. Tiara, whose sitting position was directly opposite Alan, occasionally stared at Alan's face. Don't know why? again he felt that the person in front of him was Fadil not Alan.


After breakfast, they then returned to the car brought by Alan, and continued their journey which was only about two hours away. On the way, they did not talk much. Only Zul spoke occasionally to show direction to Alan, when they had entered the Batumarta junction area. Mr. Shahroni also did not talk too much, he only answered a few questions from Zul, while occasionally glancing at Tiara. After meeting Alan who has a face similar to Fadil, Mr. Syahroni is now worried, if later Tiara will grieve and think back to Fadil his lover who has died.


After passing through a traditional market, Zul then showed the direction where he lived. But he did not go down, but remained with Alan to deliver Mr. Syahroni and Tiara to his house. The distance between Zul and Syahroni is not too far away. Only about 2 km from where Zul lives, the car driven by them is now in front of Tiara's house.


'' Alhamdulillah.., thank you mas, have been delivered to the front of the house. Mari! stop by for a while, let me later drive to the house of the Fadil family.'' said Mr. Syahroni while getting out of the car.


'' Emm thank you sir, but I can't seem to stop by right now. God willing, I will be here again this afternoon. You see now, I have to deliver kang Zul first. Frightened kang Zul family was worried, because it was already one day late from the schedule of his return.''' said Alan refused the offer of Mr. Syahroni.


'' Yes sir, equally.'' said Alan, then looking for a place to turn the direction of his car.


Mr. Syahroni and Tiara were still standing on the side of the road in front of his house, until Alan returned past them, after turning his car not far from the place.


'' Let's sir, ma'am, Assalamualaikum.'' said Alan when the car was right in front of Mr. Syahroni and Tiara, then left the place.


'' Mari, wa'alaikumsalam.'' said Mr. Syahroni as he waved his hand.


Hearing the sound of a car stopping in front of his house, Bu Lilis, Yunita and Vita immediately came out of the house. They saw Mr. Syahroni and Tiara, standing on the side of the road and waving towards the Pajero sports car that passed there. Mr. Shahroni and Tiara then turned around and walked towards his house. Tiara was immediately greeted by Bu Lilis and her two brothers. After shaking hands, Tiara then entered the house to her room.


'' Whose car is it?, I think I just saw. He said get on the bus?'' ask Bu Lilis to Mr. Syahroni.


'' His friend Tiara's car, met last night in Lampung, happened to want to go to Baturaja. Was yes to ride a bus, just last night the bus broke down, so join the car bell earlier.'' replied Mr. Syahroni.


'' Oh. kirain, car travel.'' said Ms. Lilis.


'' That, Tiara why? how does his face look so weird?'' whispered bu Lilis who had seen the look of Tiara's face that felt somewhat different.


'' Emm later Dad told me.'' Mr. Syahroni whispered to Ms. Lilis.


Tiara who was already in her room, she then took out some clothes and books from inside her carry backpack. After putting the clothes and book in the closet, he took a towel and went to the bathroom to clean himself. After bathing and changing clothes, he then took a picture frame that he always carried, which was taken from Fadil's room at that time. He stared deeply at the photo of Fadil and himself in the frame. I don't know, ever since meeting Alan whose face resembled that of Fadil, Tiara had no idea what she was feeling. Do I have to be sad, or happy? Tiara was completely confused by what was being felt in her heart.


While Tiara was looking at the picture in the frame, Yunita came in and sat down next to her. Tiara was surprised, then hurriedly put down the frame of the photo. But Yunita already knew, that Tiara was looking at the picture frame. Yunita then grabbed Tiara's hands, placed them on her chest, and said:


'' Tiara, I'm sorry! I'm sorry Tiara!'' yunita said with teary eyes.


Tiara slowly, pulled out both of her hands that were grasped by Yunita. He then took back the picture frame he had put down. While staring at the photo in the frame, his hand then stroked the photo of Fadil with tenderness.


'' Brother.. Never mind!, everything has happened. Although it's impossible, but I'm sure. I'm sure, A Fadil will definitely come back for me.'' unknowingly Tiara said those words.


Hearing Tiara's words, Yunita's heart grew even sadder. Her tears are now flowing down both of her cheeks. The guilt of the incident, really made Yunita more and more powerless to hold back her tears.


'' Tiara.. Can you forgive me? Can you not remember Fadil anymore? Don't you know? I'm really sorry Tiara, I'm very, very sorry.'' Yunita while covering her face with both hands.


'' Brother.. Told you! let what has happened. I have forgiven my brother. But please!, don't forbid me to always hope to be with A Fadil. For me, A Fadil will always be there for me. And someday, I'll be with her.''


While saying that, Tiara who was still caressing the photo of Fadil smiled so sweetly. It was as if Tiara was waiting for the arrival of someone, whom the person had told, that soon she would come to see him. Yunita no longer knew what to do, she then walked out of the room crying. Bu Lilis who saw Yunita like that, then immediately approached Yunita who was crying in the corner of the back room.


'' Why are you Yun? is there a problem?'' bu Lilis asked after being near Yunita.


'' Tiara ma'am.. Tiara still remembers Fadil. He even said that Fadil would come to see him, Yunita said as she pleased.


Bu Lilis took a deep breath hearing what Yunita said. He then left Yunita and walked towards Tiara's room. When entering the room, Miss Lilis found Tiara still stroking the picture frame.


'' Tiara... Are you okay, son? why are you still like that?'' Bu Lilis approached Tiara and stroked her hair.


'' Tiara is fine! Tiara was okay.'' she replied.


This time Tiara did not hide the picture frame from her mother, as she had done when Yunita approached her. Although Tiara was looking at the photo of Fadil, but Bu Lilis did not see any tears in the corner of the eyes Tiara, as Bu Lilis used to see. But anyway, Bu Lilis also felt a little uneasy about what the Tiara was doing.
