The Story of the Sky
The Strange Dream

Towards magrib, Mr. Syahroni returned home. His job is to deliver Alan to Zaenab's mother's house, which he has fulfilled. However, since seeing the attitude and words of Zaenab's mother towards Alan, many things have now become questions in his heart and mind. Actually, what is the status of Alan's relationship with Zaenab's mother. He who knows that Fadil, the youngest son of Zaenab's mother, did not have a twin brother when he was born. But why Zaenab's mother's attitude towards Alan, as if to think Alan is her son. It was as if Alan was the incarnation of Fadil, his youngest son who had died.

Tonight, Alan plans to stay at Zaenab's mother's house. He called Sintya this morning at Zul's house. He also told of his meeting with people who knew the family of the person he was looking for. And after meeting his mother Fadil, Alan again contacted Sintya and the rest of his family, because he would stay there. So in the meantime, he has not been able to go to his uncle Hartono's house in Baturaja. Alanpun had contacted Hartono, if he was now in Batumarta and only going to Baturaja the next day.

After Mr. Shahroni returned home, Alan, Zul, and Alfin also, went to the mosque next to the house of Fadil, to perform Maghrib prayers congregated there after performing the magrib prayer, after performing the prayer, they returned to Zaenab's mother's house for dinner together.

'' Kang zul, do you want to stay here with me?'' alan asked after they finished dinner.

'' I think I went home, because I still miss my family at home. And also, I still have a lot to talk about with my parents, said Zul replied to an offer from Alan.

'' Oh yes, Alan when to go to Baturaja?'' ask Zul.

'' Insyaallah tomorrow morning kang, because tonight there is something I need to say to my mother.'' replied Alan who now considers his mother Fadil is his own mother.

'' Kang Zul calm down, later if kang Zul really wants to go home, I will take kang Zul to home.'' continued Alan.

After a short conversation, Alan invites Alfin to drive Zul back to his house. After arriving in front of the zul house page, Alan immediately turned the direction of his car and returned to Zaenab's mother's house.

'' Didn't stop by for a second?'' zul said as he got out of the car.

'' Thank you kang Zul, God willing next time.''

'' Oh.. Yes already kang, thank you already delivered.'' said Zul.

'' Both kang zul, I should be the one to thank you for being won, Alan replied.

'' Yes, I did Zul, I said first. Greetings to the father and everyone, sorry I did not stop by first, assalamualaikum.'' said Alan.

'' Yes kang Alan, wa'alaikumsalaam warahmatullah.'' Zul while waving his hand as Alan's car left the place.

Mr. Waluyo and his sisters Zul came out of the house, when they saw Alan's car had stopped in front of their house. However, because the only thing that came down from the car was Zul, and the car immediately left, Mr. Waluyo asked Zul.

'' Lho koncomu kui, arep muleh nang Baturojo to Zul. How come ora stopped by?'' ask Mr. Waluyo.

'' Mboten pak e, mas e dalu niki bade nginep teng KL, enjing mangke wangsul teng Baturojone.'' said Zul answered his father's question.

Zul and the others immediately entered the house, they briefly talked about Alan. Especially Ririn who looked so enthusiastic, asked a lot of things about Alan. Zul only answered questions from his sister Ririn, with a smile and answers.

After delivering Zul, Alan and Alfin immediately returned to Zaenab's mother's house. His car he parked on the floor of the house that was quite spacious. He then invited Alfin to go to the mosque, because time was almost Isha. Alfin who although just met with Alan this afternoon, but he already felt familiar with Alan, as if Alan was his uncle Fadil.

'' Fin. yuk we go to the mosque!, it seems like it is almost time to pray Isya.'' asked Alan to Alfin.

'' Yes mas.'' said Alfin who is still confused to call Alan with what name.

'' Call uncle Fin! do not need to call mas.'' said Alan smiling to see Alfin who still looks a bit awkward to him.

'' Yes mas uh uncle.'' Alfin replied rather stiffly.

After performing the prayer and returning home, Alan, Alfin and Zaenab's mother sit in the family room. While enjoying the cake made by Zaenab's mother, they began to engage in quite serious chatter. After a while, Alan then said to Zaenab's mother and also to Alfin.

'' Mom, did you know anything about me?'' alan asked as he looked at Zaenab's mother.

'' Ma'am, what mom said is true, but for now, I'm still not Fadil's mother's son. I am Alan, the person who at that time was involved in an accident with Fadil's mother's son.''

Alan then told me about who he really was. He also recounted the entire incident of the accident at the time, which caused damage to his internal organs, and also blindness in both eyes. While crying, Alan also told about occult events, during his meeting with Fadil in nature there. Until in the end, Fadil who did not have the heart to see Alan, who would be punished for all his actions during his life, then sacrificed himself to give his age ration for one year. And also swapped his internal organs to Alan's body, as well as the exchange of his two eyeballs in the hospital.

'' Fin, do you remember? at that time Mr. Hartono, doctor Hafis, and also doctor Yusril. They asked you to donate both eyes of your uncle Fadil, in exchange for his nephew's two eyeballs?'' alan looked at Alfin.

Alfin who was crying as he pleased, because listening to the story told by Alan, he nodded. His memory now returns to the events when he saw the body of his uncle Fadil, who was already stretched stiff lifeless.

'' Fin, Mr. Hartono's nephew is me!. I was the one who needed an eye donor back then. The eyes that are on me right now, are the eyes of your uncle Fadil. Even all the internal organs in my body are also his.''

'' Mom, I'm sorry mom!. In order to help me, Fadil your son has sacrificed a lot. He has given me a chance to live for a year, so that I can make amends. In order to help me as well, she had to lose her body and everything. Mom, I'm sorry! forgive me!''

Alan was getting powerless to hold back his cries. He could not tell how much Fadil had sacrificed for him. Zaenabpun's mother was sobbing to see Alan like that. She hugged Alan tightly. Alfin who saw that, he also grew sobbing and embraced them. For a long time they drowned in the atmosphere of the day. Finally, Zaenab's mother let go of her embrace, and said:

'' Behold, son!. What Fadil did was right. I wish I had been there, and Fadil didn't. I'm the one who's gonna ask Fadil to do that. She is the best mother. Not in vain mother educated and raised him.'' said mother Zaenab while wiping Alan's tears with his palms that had begun to wrinkle.

'' Thank you mom! thanks though. Even if I wasn't born from your womb, I would still look up to you like my real mother.'' Alan said as he hugged Zaenab's mother back.

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

That night, Tiara, whose heart was in turmoil due to her longing for Fadil, could not sleep. His mind continues to be reflected in beautiful memories while with Fadil. Until late at night, after his body really felt so tired. Tiara began to sleep in her sleep.

'' A Fadil, Tiara comes A. Sorry, old Tiara did not visit you.'' whispered Tiara who was sitting in front of the tomb owned by Fadil.

Clear water granules, slowly flowing from both corners of his eyes. His hand still holds his little Qur'an. Tiara had just finished reciting the verses of the Qur'an, then sprinkled flowers over the navel. Suddenly, in front of him appeared a thin fog which then turned into the figure of the person he always missed. Yes, that figure is Fadil his lover.

'' Tiara, don't cry. Look there!'' said the figure to Tiara.

Tiara who was looking in front of him appeared the figure of Fadil, she smiled. Then look at the direction Fadil requires of him. Not far from where he was, a young man similar to Fadil was standing at the funeral pendopo, staring at him.

'' Tiara, look at him!. He's not me, but a part of me is on him. And one day, I'll really be there for her.''

Tiara was shocked when she saw the young man. It turned out that the person Fadil showed was none other than Alan, the one who had helped him and also the one who met him this morning. Tiara was confused by what Fadil had just said. He then turned to Fadil again to ask for an explanation from him. However, the figure of Fadil who had appeared before him had now disappeared. Tiara kept looking around looking for Fadil. But the figure he was looking for was really no longer there.

'' A Fadil, A fadil, A Fadil.'' he shouted as he continued to search for where Fadil was.

'' A Fadil.., A Fadil...''

'' Tiara, wake up Tiara. Come wake!'' yunita.

Yunita who was surprised to hear Tiara who was deliriously calling out Fadil's name, immediately woke Tiara up by shaking Tiara's body. Tiara finally woke up from her sleep. He looked around and found himself in his bedroom.

After sitting down and calming down for a moment, he finally realized, it turned out that he had just been dreaming. She dreams of meeting Fadil, who tells her something. Still ringing in his ears, what Fadil had just said. But he really did not understand, what the meaning of Fadil's words.

Tiara then looked at the clock on the wall of her room. It's almost dawn. Tiara then went to the bathroom to clean up, then performed the morning prayers after the sound of the adhan from the loudspeakers in the mosque. After performing the morning prayers, Tiara went to the kitchen to help her busy mother cook. While cooking that, Tiara still kept thinking about her dream. I don't know what the meaning of this dream is.
