The Story of the Sky
Missed him back

That afternoon, after performing the Ashar prayer, Alan and Zul went to the house of Mr. Shahroni. Alan immediately pulled over his car on the side of the road, in front of Mr. Syahroni's yard. By wearing a light blue shirt and black standard pants, Alan who had been bathing at Zul's house, now looks more handsome and cool. Ririn (sister of Zul ) who had met with Alan, until she almost did not want to blink her eyes when she saw Alan's face. He even had time to take photos of Alan secretly with his cellphone camera. It seemed like Ririn now had a new idol in her heart. Indeed, many teenage girls like to idolize the artist of a pop band or soap star both domestically and abroad. But apparently after seeing and meeting with Alan, Ririn is now increasing the collection of his idol.

Alan and Zul got out of the car immediately, then walked towards Syahroni's house. From inside the house, from behind the window of his room facing the road, Tiara saw Alan's car that had stopped and also saw Alan and Zul who were walking towards his house. Tiara who had just finished performing the Ashar prayer, and was just about to put her face cloth in the closet, she was glued when she saw Alan's face. His posture, gait, smile, was exactly the same as Fadil. He sees Alan as if he sees Fadil in a slightly different version. And what makes him feel even more astonished is, he does not feel that Alan is someone else, but Tiara more feel that it is Fadil his lover. Shown back in his memory, when Fadil came to ask permission from his parents, to take him for a walk on Eid last year.

But Tiara finally realized, that the person who came was not her lover Fadil. Because in reality, Fadil had died a year ago from an accident. Tiara's heart was now completely in a dilemma. He was confused by what he was feeling. On one side when he saw Alan, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope, that he was going to meet his lover Fadil. But on the other hand, he also remembered that Fadil his lover was gone. Without him noticing, his tears were now beginning to drip down both of his cheeks. He then took a picture frame of himself and Fadil, and hugged the picture frame tightly.

'' Oh my God, what is wrong with me? why is it that when I see it, I see A Fadil? why is it that my heart is getting sore and misses A Fadil?'' tiara said inwardly.

'' A fadil, I miss you A!. Didn't A Fadil say!, if I go to the boarding school, my shady will be treated. Why is my heart still like this?. I did meet someone who looked like you A. And I wish it was you. But the truth is, he's not you. Then with can I treat my longing for you? A Fadil. please, give me an explanation of your words.''

Meanwhile, Alan and Zul are now in front of the door of Mr. Syahroni's residence. Since the door was already open, they immediately said their greetings. Mr. Shahroni, Ms. Lilis, and the two Tiara brothers who were in the middle room, they simultaneously answered the greeting. Mr. Shahroni immediately came out of the room to see who was coming. Seeing that it was Alan and Zul, Mr. Shahroni immediately invited the two of them to come in and sit down.

Before long, Miss Lilis also came out to look. Although Mr. Syahroni had said, that the person who would come was similar to Fadil, Bu Lilis was still stunned when she saw Alan's face. Just a few steps he came out of the middle room, his steps instantly came to a halt. Spontaneously he said:

'' Fade!'' bu Lilis said surprised to see Alan.

Vita and Yunita, who heard her mother say Fadil's name, came out and wanted to see what was going on. But, when the two of them looked with their own eyes at the person sitting in the guest room, they could not hide their shock either. The two of them who were not told about Alan, simultaneously they immediately spoke.

'' Mas Fadil!'' said the two were no less surprised than Bu Lilis.

Alan, who saw and heard them say Fadil's name, was also shocked. His heart now wondered how similar he was to Fadil, so that everyone in the house thought he was Fadil. Meanwhile, Zul, just speechless did not understand witnessing the shock of everyone who saw the Alan.

'' Mom, where's the drink? how even on the bengong!'' mr. Shahroni said breaking the silence in the room.

Bu Lilis immediately told Vita and Yunita to get the drinks and fruits they had just prepared. Vita and Yunita immediately returned to the middle room to take what had been ordered by Bu Lilis, while Bu Lilis sat next to her husband Syahroni.

'' I'm sorry, we all really do not think, if this mas is so similar to Fadil.'' said Mr. Syahroni to Alan.

'' Yes, this mas is very similar to Fadil. To the extent that we can not distinguish the two of you, Ms. Lilis confirmed her husband's remarks.

'' To my knowledge, Fadil did not have a twin brother. But how can it? you guys are so similar.'' said Mr. Syahroni.

After they started talking, Vita and Yunita came up with a few glasses of warm tea, as well as a few plates of duku and mangosteen, which was then taken by Bu Lilis to be placed on the table there.

'' Come on mas! please taste the drinks and fruit. But sorry, this is all it is.'' Ms. Lilis told Alan and Zul.

'' Yes, ma'am thank you, sorry even troublesome.'' said Alan.

'' Yes, there are some who have started cooking. But it tastes sweet! because this is the original duku Komering.'' said Mr. Syahroni who also took the duku fruit.

Vita and Yunita, after bringing drinks and fruits to the guests, entered Tiara's room. But they were surprised, when they saw Tiara who was covering her face with a pillow and like she was sobbing. Yunita immediately approached Tiara.

'' Tiara, why are you crying?'' whispered slowly.

Vita just stood looking at her two brothers. He came out to his mother and whispered something. Miss Lilis got up and went into Tiara's room. Mr. Shahroni who saw that, he felt there was something. But he sat there with Alan and Zul.

'' Tiara, why are you son? do you remember Fadil again?'' said Bu Lilis suspected the cause of Tiara crying.

Tiara did not answer. He still covers his face. Miss Lilis kept trying to cheer Tiara up. Until Alan, Zul, and Syahroni sir went to the house of Bu Zaenab, Bu Lilis and others were still in Tiara's room. Before going to deliver Alan and Zul, Mr. Syahroni had seen them. But because nothing happened to Tiara, she immediately went to accompany Alan to the house of Bu Zaenab.

Alan who did not see the appearance of Tiara in that house, his heart felt a little restless. For some reason?, ever since meeting Tiara this morning at home eating, she felt that something was being hidden by Tiara. Moreover, he had also heard, there was the sound of someone who was crying as much as in the room. He began to feel, Tiara's rather strange attitude, and also the Tiara family's attitude when looking at her, had something to do with Fadil. Alan also began to remember, when he saved Tiara during the kidnapping, Tiara mentioned Fadil several times. Could it be, this Tiara was Fadil's lover? that was how Alan had in mind at this moment.

Arriving at Bu Zaenab's house, Mr. Shahroni immediately led Alan and Zul to visit there. Slowly, Mr. Syahroni knocked on the door and also said his greetings of course. After several times the door was knocked, a greeting came from inside the house. A young man appeared from behind the door. Seeing Mr. Shahroni who came, he immediately invited Mr. Syahroni to enter. However, when he saw the person behind Mr. Shahroni, the young man was silent. His lips were shaking as if he wanted to say something, but his tongue was like a muffler. Only his eyes kept staring at Alan, like he didn't want to look away from him. And unconsciously his eyes began to tear. But not so long, he also immediately wiped the tears that would drip from both corners of his eyes. He shook hands and invited them to sit in the guest room.

'' Is there a Zaenab ma'am?'' ask Mr. Shahroni, to Alfin.

'' There, I called for a moment. Please sit down first sir, mas.'' said Alfin then went to the back to look for Zaenab's mother grandmother.''

Not long after, Alfin and Zaenab's mother appeared from the back room. Upon seeing Alan, Zaenab's mother suddenly cried. She hugged Alan tightly. Alan, who was hugged by Zaenab's mother, just remained motionless. And he unwittingly returned Zaenab's mother's embrace. For the first time, Alan meets Fadil's mother. But for some reason, his eyes seemed familiar with this face. In fact, with Alfin and this house as well. And as she hugged Zaenab's mother, she really felt as if she was hugging the person she had long since missed. Zul, Mr. Shahroni and also Alfin, they look with haru taste. They seemed to be watching, the meeting of a mother and her favorite child who had long separated.

After Zaenab's mother let go of her embrace, Alan led Zaenab's mother to sit down, and she sat down next to him. Seen from the corner of Alan's eyes, falling tears dripped down his cheeks. Alan tenderly wiped the tears of Zaenab's mother with his hands. Likewise with Zaenab's mother, she wiped Alan's tears lovingly, as if the person next to her was Fadil her favorite youngest child.

'' You're finally home son!'' said Zaenab's mother, stroking Alan's face.

'' I know, you will definitely return my son, I always pray for it. And now, finally the mother's prayer was granted.'' he said with a smile looking at Alan's face.

'' Yes ma'am, thank you for your prayers, '' Alan replied.

Apart from Alan and Zaenab's mother, Syahroni, Zul and Alfin, no one understood what the two of them meant. In fact, Alan, who still had not told his secret to Zaenab's mother, felt a little surprised by what was said by her. But Alan guessed, perhaps because a mother's premonition was stronger, so that she could feel something that no one else knew about her child.
