The long-awaited time has come. After performing the Ashar prayer service, Alan went with Alfin to the house of Mr. Shahroni to meet with Tiara and his family. Tiara has also told her parents that this afternoon Alan will come to their house. However, since it is now the month of fasting, then they do not need to prepare anything for the treat of the guest.
'' Assalamualaikum.'' said Alan when he was in front of the door of Tiara's house, after getting off the motorbike brought by Alfin who had now been parked in the yard of the house.
'' Wa'alaikumsalaam.'' heard an answer from inside the house.
Mr. Syahroni and Ms. Lilis who were chatting in the guest room, immediately invited Alan and Alfin to sit down. Tiara has just finished performing the Ashar prayer. After chatting for a while with them, Miss Lilis wanted to go back to cook. While Yunita and Vita, who were behind the house, plucked duku and mangosteen for the afternoon break their fast today.
'' Sorry son, huh? mother stay back first, because the mother wants to cook to break her fast later.'' said Ms. Lilis, then rose from her seat to go to the kitchen.
'' Emm sorry ma'am, sir. Didn't mean to be presumptuous. But if you don't mind, let today, for the menu iftar and sahurnya, let me order at the restaurant only. You see, I also want a message to break the fast at home, and also for the mosque.'' said Alan offered them.
'' Ah don't bother son, let me cook myself.'' said Ms. Lilis.
'' I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't insist. But I do want to give other people an open meal. Let his reward be to those who fast! That's also if if the father of the same mother does not mind.'' he said.
'' About the menu, mom and dad can choose for themselves what dad and mom like. If the father and mother are willing, let me now order.''' continued Alan again offer to Mr. Syahroni and Miss Lilis.
'' Yes, ma'am, it is not good to refuse windfall!'' alfin told them.
Seeing the seriousness of Alan offering that, Mr. Syahroni and Bu Lilis looked at each other. After a while, Syahroni finally gave a signal to Bu Lilis to accept an offer from Alan.
'' Yes, ma'am, just accept it. Itung-itung today is a cooking holiday, let it relax a little.'' said Mr. Syahroni.
After getting approval from them, Alan then ordered some boxed rice, as well as some packaged rice separated by side dishes so as not to easily stale.
'' Remember sir yes! in addition to the boxed, I ordered four servings for a complete family with side dishes. Please everyone who is still warm and delivered to the address before the magrib.'' said Alan when contacting his subscription restaurant every time he came to the city of Baturaja.
'' Ready sir, I guarantee you will not disappoint you, replied the person across the phone who had known Alan before.
After hanging up the phone, Alan then went back into the living room and again sat down with Alfin who was chatting with Mr. Syahroni and Ms. Lilis.
'' I have ordered sir. God willing, before the magrib later, the order has arrived here, Alan told Syahroni and Bu Lilis.
'' Wow, thank you so much, son! sorry, this is even me who is troublesome said Ms. Lilis.
'' No papa kok ma'am, this is also not every day. Not necessarily once a year, Alan replied.
'' Ma! why not start yet? are we not cooking?'' asked Vita who suddenly appeared from behind with Yunita.
Because Vita and Yunita had not seen her mother in the kitchen, those who did not know that there were guests in front, Vita immediately commented to her mother. However, after seeing his parents chatting with Alan and Alfin, Vita immediately covered her mouth with both hands. Vita, who was embarrassed by her actions, immediately ran into her room, and was followed by Yunita. From inside the room, a chuckling Yunita laughed at Vita. Seeing that, everything in the guest room, also smiled amusedly.
'' Sorry son! Vita is like that. If you don't look around. Where the sound is like a speaker again, said Bu Lilis commenting on Vita's behavior.
Alan and Alfin just smiled listening to Bu Lilis' explanation. Tiara, who was still in her room, also smiled amusedly at what was going on there. After a while, Mr. Syahroni then began to seriously ask Alan, about the intention of their arrival to his house.
'' Oh yes, sorry Alan. Approximately, the arrival of the two of you, is there really a need, or just playing?'' ask Mr. Syahroni.
'' Oh that! private or what?'' continued Mr. Syahroni.
'' Ah no sir!. I just want to explain something, whose nature can be heard by all. Father, mother, or anyone in the house. Although this is a bit closed!'' said Alan.
'' Oh. ya already, it means it's okay if we also join the tour?'' ask Mr. Syahroni back.
'' Yes, no papa sir!. Therefore, I am also the same case Alfin.''
'' Yes, Tiara. Come here son! this is a guest.'' call Mr. Shahroni to Tiara.
Tiara then walked out from inside her room. He sat down next to Miss Lilis. It appears that Tiara's heart has now improved. It could all be seen from the hue of his face and also the radiance of his eyes that were seen starting to sparkle. Apparently, what Alan said last night, further increased his confidence, that he would be able to meet his lover Fadil.
Slowly, his half-soul that had left now began to return, with the return of his once-fading spirit of life. Miss Lilis and Mr. Syahroni who saw the change in Tiara, they were happy. But the question arises in their hearts. Can Tiara forget the fadil? did Tiara also start to fall for Alan who clearly looked more handsome compared to Fadil?. Whatever it is, they don't need to know. Because for them, the return of the Tiara was at its original condition. It's the best thing for everyone.
'' This is how Tiara. As I have said before, I came here because I want to explain all the questions mbak Tiara, or others.''
'' Please note, that my face which happens to be similar to the Fadil mas. That is God's power. But clearly, between me and Fadil, there is no blood relation at all. Unless we are both born from the descendants of Adam as.''
'' I myself am the only son of both my parents. My father was from Baturaja. However, he has lived in Jakarta since he was a teenager. My mother is still of Chinese descent from my grandfather. And my grandmother was a native Betawi. If you look at the lineage. Of course between me and Fadil, obviously can not meet. Because according to the mother of Fadil, she is purely descended from the Cirebon family.''
'' As for why I am now in the midst of the Fadil mas family, it is because of the events that happened almost a year ago.''
Alan then began to tell the events of the accident that befell him. Which coincidentally, the accident also involved Fadil until Fadil had to lose his life. Alan also recounted that the one who should have died at that time was him. But thanks to Fadil, he can still live even though it will not be long. Alan also told that after this fasting month, and precisely on the second day of Lebaran later, he and Fadil will exchange lives.
,,,He will re-think his destiny to face Allah SWT. While the body, will be used by Fadil as a replacement for the body Fadil who has been buried. Everything in that place was so moved by what Alan had told him. Yunita and Vita, who were in the room, also came out and listened to Alan's words. Tiara and Yunita could not hold back her tears. Although not until the most bitter, but his tears also still flowed down their cheeks.
'' That's how sir, ma'am, ma'am Tiara. My life to this day, is the result of the great sacrifice of Fadil for me. For the sake of giving me the opportunity to repent, he has sacrificed himself, to have to live a life that is somehow like what he was there.''
'' Therefore, I feel obliged to explain this to Fadil's mother and her family. Apologize and thank them for everything.''
'' Ma'am Tiara, sorry. Because of me, I also feel sadness for this year. But, as I can't believe. Soon you will be back together. It's just that, not with the old Fadil body. Except with the body now in front of this mother.''
'' Ma'am Tiara, if it comes in time later. Please return to Fadil. I know your love is so amazing. And one more message to mbak, please also accept my family. Because after all, my body still has a family other than his family, Mas Fadil. Promise mbak! promise me that. In addition to receiving my body, please also accept my family.'' Alan asked Tiara after explaining everything.
Tiara who was still in tears, she nodded. Although he does not know how later he has to adapt to Fadil who uses Alan's body, and also does not know how the Alan family, but the news that Fadil his lover will soon return for him, it has become an infinite happiness for him. Therefore, whatever and however, he is ready to accept the message of destiny for himself in the future.
Towards the magrib, Alan and Alfin resigned. The food order from the restaurant that was ordered by Alan has also come. Miss Lilis and the others were shocked. It turned out that what was ordered by Alan was really a lot of food and looked so delicious. Alan and Alfin who were going home, they were detained by Mr. Shahroni to break their fast there.
'' Fin how is this?'' alan asked somewhat confusedly.
'' Yes uncle, uncle break his fast here. Let me accompany my grandmother to break the fast, as well as bring food orders for the house and mosque.'' said Alfin then went with the car that brought their order, while his motorcycle he stayed for Alan.
