The echo again pierced through the hearing room, piercing through the darkness between two different passageways. Both are almost similar, but of course have their own end goals.

"Mirror …."

Someone is calling. His voice is well known. Who else if not a beloved man who is often missed. Then the figure appeared slowly, smiled, then waved his hand. It's beautiful like a three-dimensional stage with a bi-color bias.

"Mas Fadli …."

"Come, Honey. Come with me from now on. Come on, come on over."

"But, Mas, I have to—"

"Come on, Laras, come along right now. We're together again like we used to."

"Yes, I want to, Mas. But …."

"Come, Harmony …."

"Mas Fadli!"

"Salaras ..." The call was so gentle full of warmth. "Respect, dear."

"Mas Fadl—"

"It's the same Mother as Father, Son."

Aligned memicing for a moment and trying to remember, to recognize the figure in front of him.

"Mother? Mr?" The woman's voice shrieked in confusion. ". .. and that?" Alignedly pointed to a foreign young man standing not far from them.

Mr. Sugara and Ibu Selaras simultaneously turned to the man earlier. "Come closer, son," they told him.

"This is in harmony, Mr-Bu?" ask the stranger. Said Mr. Sugara, "True, this is in harmony with our son, son. This is how it is now."

"Ooohhh .. hhmmm," the man murmured while looking at Selaras who was still sitting dumbstruck on the edge of the bed.

She chimed in, "Laras, let's see, who's coming?"

Aligned staring at the figure that his mother meant. Long time they face each other, until then the smile of the lips of the woman was slowly expanding. This was quite surprising to both parents, and thought that Selaras liked the presence of young men earlier. Only for a moment, until then their happiness was changed ….

"Mas Fadli ..." whispered Aligned still with his smile, staring warmly at the figure of the young man.

"Yes, God ... Harmony ..." sighed Mr. Sugara disappointed. "That's .. it's not Fadli, but …."

"I am Vishnu, Ras," said the man who had introduced himself. " … Vishnu Aritama." In harmony shakes disbelief.

"No, you're Mas Fadli. Yes, my Mas Fadli has returned."

Vishnu glanced at the two parents in harmony. He seemed confused what to say. There was a hint of disappointment adorning the man's face, until he finally rushed out of the room without taking out a word.

"Son Vishnu, wait, son!" exclaimed Mother Aligned while chasing after Mr. Alex's son, died a sad Mr. Sugara mixed with anger at his daughter.

"He's Vishnu, Laras. Not Fadli who has mat—" Mr. Sugara did not continue his speech. He immediately closed his mouth with a palm, while closing his eyes. Imbuh the old man then, "Wake up, dear. Be aware. How long are you going to be like this? Worsened in grief and bemoaned the man who can't already hid— ... aaahh! Should you just tell me the truth?! My Lord, help us …."

In line to glance at his father, weak.

"Father angry with Laras?" tanya Selaras lirih's.

Mr. Sugara shook his head, then immediately hugged his daughter full of love. "No, Honey. You just haven't been able to be patient for longer. I'm saddened by your condition, son."

Undeterred. He was confused as to why his father was sad. Isn't he the one who is currently grieving?

"Keep ... Why did Mas Fadli leave again, sir?" tanya Aligned in her father's arms.

"Did he not love Alignment?"

"Yes, God!" pekik Pak Sugara hugged his son. Sobbing sedan holds the increasingly piercing pain.

Meanwhile, Vishnu who hastily came home earlier, facing his father in the office. The young man looked angry with the look in his eyes looking at Mr. Alex.

"So Papah asked Vishnu to marry that crazy woman, Pah?" vishnu hatch with hunting breath. "Do you think this is funny? That so?"

"Calm down, kid. Patience .." said Mr. Alex calming. "Listen to Papah's explanation. It's not at all what you think, son."

"No!" vishnu geram reply. "Wishnu has met the woman. Guess what Vishnu got from him? That girl is crazy! He thought this Vishnu was his dead lover. Papah should know that!"

"That's exactly why, son. There's something Papah wants to do for Mr. Sugara's family …." Alex asked his son to sit down. "You know, it's heavy. Papah just wants to help Papah's best friend who—"

"That's, right, Papah's business with Mr. Sugara. Why is Vishnu involved? Why is it not Papah who approached the woman, and married her? Papah too, right, widower?"

THE PLAQUE!

"Don't be rude to Papah, yes, Vishnu!"

The young man rubbed his sore cheek. It was not the first thing Vishnu got a slap from his father. A few months ago, a year ago, even before that time.

Imbuh Mr. Alex, "Remember, yes, what happened to you with your wife a few months ago. If Papah doesn't fix your problems, who else?"

Vishnu.

"If it were not for the service of Mr. Sugara, your Papah would not be what it is today, Vishnu! That is why, Papah really wants to help Papah's friend. With your help …."

"Take care of that woman?" ask Vishnu slowly.

Alex took a deep breath. He continued saying, "Not only that, but also to be a caregiver in harmony forever."

"I mean Papah?"

"Salaras is not crazy, Vishnu," said Mr. Alex. "She just hasn't been able to forget her ex-boyfriend. That's your job to accompany him from this moment on. As compensation, Papah will give up all your equal effort, if he is healed and able to love you."

Vishnu pensive for some time, until then the smile of the man was developed.

The night is getting closer to the early morning, thickly decorated with natural sighs accompanied by the drumming of dark animals. Singing softly witnessed an event somewhere in the suburbs. When the road has long been quiet, there is seen a vehicle stopped in the condition of the engine is still on, but all the lights are turned off. There were three human figures in it, sitting silently bathed in a pitch-black bath. Then one of them began to open his voice.

"Are we going to do this right? Is there no other way than this to solve all our problems? Honestly, it feels—"

Not yet finished the one speaking, the other figure quickly interrupted, "Stay close your mouth, because the more you say, it will mess up this plan."

"But, Pah …."

"Shut up, Vishnu! Papah says too, keep your mouth shut!" the figure behind the wheel. "This would not have happened had you listened to Papah from the beginning. Now, what? Papah too, right, who should clean up?"

One of the figures named Vishnu lowered his head deeply, he said softly, "Excuse Vishnu, Pah. It is indeed Vishnu's fault …."

"Now ... hurry up, get that passenger out!" said the figure who turned out to be Mr. Alex, gave orders to his son. "Do it, while the streets are deserted, Vishnu."

"L-yes, Pah!" vishnu answered nervously, then quickly moved to the back seat of the vehicle. There was a woman, drowning in unconsciousness. "I'm sorry, Mom. I must do this to you, "sighs this young man. Slowly sit it down, then open the door of the vehicle, and lastly drag it out.

"Hurry, Vishnu! Should Papah intervene alone and follow the woman!" hardik Mr. Alex is impatient.

"L-yes, Pah, i-yes!"

Vishnu immediately accelerated his efforts to issue the female figure in question.

"I'm sorry, Mas. I'm sorry ..." said Vishnu sniffled sedan. Alex, who was still behind the wheel, turned with an angry look, then exclaimed, "He is not Dimas, Vishnu."

"It's Dimas, Pah. Dimas Aritama …."

"Aarrgghhh! Goddamnit! I have to do everything!" knock Mr. Alex out of the vehicle. Approaching Vishnu who was panting dragging the body of a woman to the edge of an abyss. "Here, let Papah himself throw this damn woman away! We've been in this place too long, Vishnu!"

"Imrc .. Dimaasss …. "

"Shut up, Vishnu! He's not Dimas! But this is …."

"No, Pah! Nah! He's my Dimas!"

"Vishnu! Be aware! Wake up!"

"Dimas .. Dimaass .…!"

THE PLAQUE!

"Isn't he?" Vishnu looked at Mr. Alex while rubbing his cheeks. "What's going on, Pah? What did Papah do?"

Mr. Alex snorted in annoyance. He ruffled his waist along with gurgling teeth restraining the anger.

"You must be daydreaming again, right?" ask Mr. Alex sharply. "Papah said, forget all your past, us! It's time for you to change, Vishnu! There is someone who can help you change, or at least hide your disgrace! A woman with the same problem as you. He ... Conforms. Papah's own best friend's son!"

Vishnu wobbled to pay attention to the appearance of Mr. Alex, the father. Then himself. Equally neat with a matching colored tuxedo suit.

"So …."

"Today we're going to propose to Harmony" Alex said.

"Today too?" ask Vishnu doubt. Answer Alex, "Yes, now. Today too. Wh why? Is there a problem with you?"

Vishnu.

"Yes, already. There's nothing to worry about, right? Come on, let's go!"

"But, Pah ... What about Dimas?"

THE PLAQUE!

THE PLAQUE!

"Forget over Fadli, Laras," exclaimed Mr. Sugara began to lose patience. "There's nothing you can expect from that guy. He has left you and most likely will not return!" Mr. Sugara deliberately did not use the word 'died' for the absence of Fadli's figure over the Selaras. Worried that it will worsen the condition and mood of the child.

In harmony shook her head accompanied by her sobs.

"No, sir," replied In a clean line. "Fadli will definitely be back. The barracks will continue to wait for him. Until whenever."

Mr. Sugara almost landed a palm because he was unable to hold back his emotions, but was detained by Mrs. "Hold, Sir! Violence will actually make it more difficult for our children to recover soon! Remember that, sir! Remember that! Cite …."

"But you can't take it anymore, Mom!" timpal Mr. Sugara. "Every time and almost every stranger he sees, everything is counted .. Fadli! How long will he forget the man?"

"Patience, sir," said Ibu Selaras calming. "We're trying. Hopefully this is the best way for our son to be able to accept this matchmaking and slowly forget about Fadli."

"Astaghfirullah …." The old man stroked his chest. Then glanced at his dumbstruck son.

"Mas Fadli is coming, isn't he, Mr-Bu?" tanya In line with a hollow view.

Mr. Sugara and Ibu Selaras looked at each other. After taking a deep breath, the old man replied, "Yes, Fadli is coming soon. He wants to propose you back. Get ready, son."

"Sir!" exclaimed Mother Aligned confused by her husband's words just now.

"Shut up, Mom," said Mr. Sugara resigned, then left Selaras who was smiling. Except his wife.

"Mas Fadli ... You've finally come too, Mas."

--------- o0o--------------------- o0o

The black vehicle slowly turned into the courtyard of the house. After stopping right in front of the garage, Vishnu immediately went out around, then opened the door to Aligned. The woman smiled as soon as the man let her down.

"Thank you, Mas," said Selaras as he set foot, greeted Vishnu handrails lead him into the house. "Are you sure we'll do it today?" ask as soon as they are in the room. Sit both on the bed.

Vishnu took a breath first before answering. He turned his gaze to the entire room that was dim with a different aroma. How not, it was the first time they were in one room with a sitting position together like that.

"I am still confused myself, Ras," replied Vishnu after a moment of silence accompanied by a heart beat that was increasingly timid.

"You still doubt?" tanya Reconciled. Vishnu. His face was bowed in shame with flushed cheek skin. The man replied, "It's not so, Race. But …."

Aligned frowning.

"If you're not ready, I won't demand you to do it today, Mas" she said, looking away. The impression then, "Because I realized, we haven't really loved each other, have we?"

"It's not about that, Race. But …." Vishnu hesitated to say. He squeezed his wife's fingers gently, then continued to say almost a whisper, ". I've never done it."

Aligned, surprised.

"What?" The woman's forehead shriveled back in wonder. "Aren't you married, Mom? How could you—"

"Yes, I know that. But …."

"What's the matter with you, Mom?" Curiousness. At first glance the man seemed indifferent, but when he began to know him more and more close, as if there was something hidden behind the cold attitude of Vishnu all this time.

"A-i ... a-i …."

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

A few months before they, Selaras and Vishnu, married on the basis of an arranged marriage, the man planned to marry a woman named Sarah. Initially everything went well, until then the beginning of the problem arose.

"Why are you being so candid now, Sarah? Why not from the beginning? At least we can change this plan beforehand. Now, just think, we've already stepped up to this last stage!" vishnu exclaimed withstanding the emotion that was about to explode. He slammed the bridal tarbus on the head, then took off his velvet dress and threw rough on the floor of the bridal room with a snort.

"I'm sorry, Mas Vishnu," said Sarah as she rested at the back of her husband's disappointed legs. "I know this is going to hurt. For me, especially you, Mom. But ... I don't want to survive the pretense that I don't reveal this to you."

"Why new now, Sarah! That thing!" shouts Vishnu growled. "If from the beginning you liked my sister, why would I be the one you chose?!"

Sarah's body trembled violently, between holding back fear and feeling guilty, for hurting the man.

"I knew Dimas long before I met you, Mas Vishnu."

"That's no excuse, Sarah!" snapped Vishnu creepy. "Whatever you say now, it's too late. We got married, and it hurt me. You should know that!"

Vishnu has a twin brother named Dimas Aritama. They both grew up without the presence of a mother, having died while giving birth to Vishnu and Dimas first. The condition of the two babies is quite alarming, where the brother has problems with mental, while heart abnormalities are suffered by Dimas, the younger brother.

Under the care of Mr. Alex who was pioneering a business with his old friend named Mr. Sugara, slowly the condition of the two children slightly improved, although not fully recovered until they grew up. Vishnu and Dimas loved each other, so they were almost inseparable.

Problems arise after they grow up. Precisely when Dimas intends to get engaged to a mooring woman named Sarah. But Mr. Alex insisted on refusing, fearing that he would hurt Vishnu. In addition to his status as an older brother, the mental condition of the man most feared by Mr. Alex will return to decline. On the other hand, Dimas' heart was threatened should their wedding plans be cancelled.

Finally the middle way was taken, Mr. Alex suspended Dimas' engagement to Sarah, then sent the sick man suddenly abroad to run a new business owned by the family. While Vishnu himself secretly married to Sarah without the knowledge of Dimas. One more thing that is very secret, the brother did not know the relationship between Sarah and her sister.

Later ….

Vishnu and Dimas' almost indistinguishable resemblance, tricked Sarah, so the orphaned woman accepted the marriage. But all revealed during the event ijab kabul. The man who married her was not Dimas, but Vishnu.

In the middle of the young couple's household, unbeknownst to Mr. Alex and Vishnu, Sarah secretly searches for Dimas's whereabouts and informs him about him.

"I can't believe it, Sarah," Dimas replied through an interlocal conversation. "It could have been as a tactic for me to marry you soon, right?" return the man. "Papah and Mas Vishnu love me very much, and that is impossible for them to do to me. That's what you need to know, Sarah."

Sarah's starting to sniff out the sedan.

"Yes, Lord .. Mas Dimas," Sarah cried through her mobile phone. "I can't stand living with Mas Vishnu. Your brother is really another with you. He ... that's crazy."

"You're saying my brother's crazy? How insolent of you, Sarah!" Dimas was angry. "Nobody should insult Mas Vishnu! No one, but you …."

"Mas .. forgive me," said Selaras lirih. "I didn't mean it, but the reality I got was like that. Your brother has a mental disorder. Dia—"

"Shut up, Sarah!"

Dimas, who still did not believe in the incident, finally returned to his homeland, intending to meet Mr. Alex and Vishnu. There, the reality is revealed through Sarah.

Dimas was surprised. His heart disease immediately relapsed, and claimed the life of the man instantly.

Vishnu arrived late and saw Sarah crying over Dimas' body. In the eyes of the brother, the death of his sister is due to the fault of his wife. Sarah is thought to have committed murder. So this mentally troubled man also attacked the woman, randomizing.

Nahas, due to Vishnu's rampage, Sarah suffered serious injuries. He almost took his life. Then in the midst of the immortality of a Vishnu, he contacted his father.

"Yes, God! Why is it like this?" sir Alex panicked.

"Dimasku, Dad! My dimasku!" vishnu shouted while shaking the body of his brother who was lifeless.

"Stranquilo, Vishnu! Be quiet! Let Papah think for a moment …." Mr. Alex twisted the brain so that this incident did not end up sniffing the other party.

In order to protect the child, Mr. Alex decided to throw Sarah's body away. So panicked, they thought the woman was both dead, but ….

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"A-I want to take a shower first, R-ras …."

"Maas …."

"Sorry, R-ras."

Vishnu hurried away from the astonished Conformas.

'The strange man, ' the woman muttered, staring at her husband's back and vanished behind the door. 'What exactly is with him? Could it be that something had happened, until he turned like this.'

Selaras quietly pondered there waiting for Vishnu, until then smiling himself, while reaching for his phone. Searching for a contact number, then intending to make a call. However, suddenly the ringing sound sounded so close. Coming from work bag ….

"Mas Vishnu?"

In line to look at the screen of his phone that reads the name of the contact Fadli, then switch on a briefcase owned by Vishnu. The ring was still screaming in there. Unbelieving, she changed the call to the husband's number. The voice came back from the same direction.

"Mas Fadli? My Vishnu?" Aligned to wonder for himself. "So ... all this time …."

GECK! GECK! GECK!

Suddenly there was a knock at the front door. Aligned surprised. The sound was so loud, that ….

"Good day, Mom."

"Yes, good day."

In line to see some figures of men in brown uniforms standing firmly in front of the house.

"I'm sorry to interrupt" said one of them in a loud voice. "Is this really the house of Brother Vishnu Aritama?"

Staring at the figures one by one. The woman replied, "Yes, right. My wife. Vishnu was bathing inside. What's up, huh, sir?"

Then the figure showed a paper, explained, then without being asked to order the others to immediately enter the house.

Aligned mert. He was weak without words. Even when Vishnu thrashed in the checks of the figures, the woman could only stare blankly.

"Clearned! Tell them I'm innocent! I never did anything like they accused me of!" vishnu shouted trying to release the checks of the sturdy hands. His body was dragged outside and put in a vehicle.

"Mother's husband was involved in a crime, the persecution of a woman named Sarah. He must take responsibility for his actions along with Mr. Alex, his father. You knew that girl named Sarah?" ask them a moment before taking Vishnu away.

Aligned to shake a few times. He looked back at the figure with teary eyes.

Aligned slowly to him, "Mas Fadli .. You finally came too, Mas. I miss you so much, my dear. Hihih."

The figure in the brown uniform did not retaliate. He stared at Alignedly, then ordered the others to contact his family.

The woman seems to be happy. Either because it has just separated from Vishnu, or now it has found a new 'Fadli' figure. Happiness is hardly tattered. For to be in harmony now, between right and not, there is absolutely no limit whatsoever, except through laughter.

Like today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, maybe so on. They have found the world themselves. An infinite nature as it has been around.

"Hihii .. Mas Fadli-ku, dear. When are you going to marry me again? You promised, right? Hihih …."
