Still on a park bench in the hospital area, Daniel and Selena are still sitting together enjoying the afternoon towards dusk.
Dusk is always beautiful when enjoyed with someone we love, sitting together on the beach, with the sound of the waves. However, this time Daniel and Selena actually looked at the beautiful twilight from a small bench in the hospital garden.
"You've always liked twilight, haven't you Selena?" Daniel asked, looking at Selena.
"Not only dusk, I also love the sunrise. Did you know that there is a Sanskrit language for sunrise "Arunika" which means beautiful sunrise. There is also the word "Swastamita" which means beautiful sunset view." Selena unraveled her every word with a smile on her face.
"Oh, yes. Where did you find such good words?"
"In a novel I read. As soon as I read it, I kept remembering those two very beautiful words. Arunika and Swastamita, beautiful isn't it?"
"Hmm, yeah... Is beautiful... Selena also means beautiful. The moon that shines brightly. Don't you?"
Daniel and Selena laughed together. A hint of happiness was lodged in the hearts of the two of them.
"You could have, Dan." Selena hits Daniel's arm.
"You're right, Selena is beautiful too. The moon that shines brightly. Don't you?"
"Yes, right. But don't repeat it. I'm ashamed."
"Why embarrassed? Your name's beautiful..." Said Daniel. "Hmm, but why is your name Selena?"
Selena tried to remember stories from her mother when she was a child. "Said my mother, I was born on a full moon, so Mom and Dad named me Selena. Actually there are also many pronouns for the moon, there are Candra, Candrika, Luna, and others. However, Selena said it was chosen by my father and mother. That's how it is."
"Selena... Full Moon? Hmm, it fits too." Daniel seems to laugh linking the word Selena to the Full Moon. Often people will name their children based on something that happened at the time. Likewise with Selena's parents, because her mother gave birth during the Full Moon, her child was named Selena.
"Don't make fun of me, Dan. You can sleep later by muttering my name." Reply Selena while laughing with Daniel.
"And, can I go to the mini market across the street? I want to buy some snacks and drinks. You just wait here, Dan. I won't be long."
"All right, I'll wait here."
Selena also walked across the road in front of the hospital park. There is a mini market, and Selena intends to buy drinks, snacks, and of course fruit that can be given to her father later.
Selena chose a few drinks, snacked a few snacks, without waiting a long time, she paid for the various items she bought to the cashier. Afterwards he immediately returned to the bench in the park to meet Daniel.
Selena looked to the right and left to make sure that the road was deserted, and she could cross the not so big road. Only half of the crossing, a motorbike passed at high speed and almost hit Selena.
"God...." Shouted Selena astonished at the motorcycle that would suddenly hit her.
In his heart Selena was sincere if he had to get hit again by a motorbike, even this time he could not avoid.
A split second, before the motor hit Selena's body, a strong and sturdy hand, seemed to protect Selena.
"Daniel's... You're... Are you really, Daniel?" Selena opened her previously closed eyes in fear with a motorcycle ready to hit her body.
When he opened his eyes, he seemed to have survived. The man with firm hands, and his bright face glowed was helping him at this moment. Selena could not blink her eyes, because she was very curious who had helped her. Could Daniel?
As minutes passed, Selena finally could see clearly who had helped her.
"Yes, I'm Daniel. But my face is not shining. Maybe you saw it wrong." Daniel breaks his embrace from Selena and walks away, leaving Selena still confused.
"No. What I just saw was really Daniel's face looking very bright, like sunlight." Selena muttered while recalling the collision event that she almost experienced.
Selena ran after Daniel who was walking further and further away.
"And wait for me... And..." Selena called Daniel while running.
Daniel looked back and stopped his footsteps.
"Explain to me, Dan... I didn't see wrong, did I? My eyes are still working as they should, and I just saw your face shining brightly." Said Selena with breath gasping for running.
"Indeed me, Selena. But my face is ordinary. My face is not as bright as he says. Even now, my face is ordinary." Said Daniel who wanted to avoid.
"Explain to me, Dan... I can take everything. Didn't you promise to explain everything to me?" Selena took Daniel by the hand, and she waited with all her heart.
"Don't lie to me, Dan..." Selena.
For a moment, Daniel saw the look on Selena's face asking for an explanation from him.
"alright... Come on, let's sit down first, I'll explain everything to you."
Daniel and Selena sit on the bench that he had previously occupied.
"We've sat down, so now listen to me, Selena."
"Yes... I'll listen." Selena nodded her head.
"Actually...." Pause for a moment, Daniel took his breath out slowly. "Actually, I'm an angel, Selena. I'm not human. I'm here because I'm on a mission to take care of you." Clearly Daniel slowly, and he looked at Selena's face that seemed to be in disbelief.
"Angel?" Selena's eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with both hands as a sign of how shocked she was to hear Daniel's explanation.
"Yes, Selena. I am not a human being, nor is I Satan. I am an angel, I am a servant who serves the Most High. I'm here to take care of you. My mission is to take care of you, to make sure you're safe and happy. Wipe your tears, and give you happiness in your life."
"Will, how is that possible? That means we're different in the world?"
"Everything is possible in God's decree, Selena. Which is impossible for man, it is possible for God. The proof is now with you. I have been looking after you for a long time. So, you can see what is impossible for man, it is possible for God. Hmm, at least I'm now more relieved that I don't need to hide my identity anymore to you." Daniel said as he looked at Selena who still did not believe.
Selena looked at Daniel. Indeed, he did not believe and did not think, Daniel who had been with him was an angel.
