Between Love and Love
Reunite.
You who left may not have come back. So let me seek and finally succeed in binding the heart.
-**Adwan*** -
Ratna shut her mouth in disbelief. Is this fate, or just coincidence? The distance Tara took is meaningless now. Now the two are back close. Even when Tara was sick the Clouds were by her side.
"May I, come closer brother?" ask the Clouds to Ratna.
"May please." Answer Ratna.
The handsome man with the typical smile of dimples was approaching. Her heart was pounding and her eyes were starting to tear up. He sat next to Tara's body. His eyes were closed his heart was unceasingly grateful.
"Tara, I'm here. Wake up! I'm waiting for you" Cloud pleaded with a soft spot. He was downcast and the clear liquid escaped without permission from the corner of his beautiful eyes.
Unfortunately the woman in front of him could not hear. Only her pale face still looks beautiful even without makeup. His sleep was so good that he refused to wake up.
"Let him rest first. Let's come here again." Damar. He doesn't want the Clouds to disturb Tara's rest.
"You go! I'll wait for him to wake up." Clouds say firmly.
"But, sir-" Damar's words came to a halt upon seeing the hand signal from the Clouds.
"I know what I'm doing. Please believe me, and go! You rest at home. When Tara wakes up I'll let you guys know." Clouds say firmly.
"Come, we're home! Brother believes in him," Ratna invited him who held Damar's hand by force.
In a room less than 3x3 meters is quiet. Only the sound of clockwork is heard in the ear. The clouds faithfully waited for Tara to wake up but it was almost night time never to wake up either.
"It's time to pray maghrib, I pray first at the hospital mosque." Clouds that only hear themselves.
The clouds rushed to the mushola as the sound of the Adhan was already heard. Nothing will calm him down but to carry out his duties as a Muslim.
After carrying out his duties as a Muslim, Awan returned to Tara's room. His heart was calmer as he complained to Allah SWT. He took a deep breath when he got to the front of the room.
Chequek...
"Assalamualaikum," said Awan greeting with a smile as he saw Tara sitting staring at the window.
"Waalaikumsalam," replied Tara who also turned her gaze to the Clouds.
Degs... Tara felt tightness encircling her lung cavity. How could the Clouds be in his presence at this moment. And he has gone far.
"Thank God you are awake. I called the doctor first," said Awan, his right hand pressing the button on Tara's bed to call the doctor.
"Why are you here?" ask Tara.
"I'm transferred here. It's just noon." Answer Cloud.
"I mean why are you in the hospital with me?" Tara repeated her question.
" Fate." Answer Cloud.
Tara was silent and quickly turned her face to the window.
"I'm here, why are you looking over there?" ask the clouds gently.
" Why are we meeting again?" ask Tara. His eyes have been bathed in tears.
"You're gone, but I'm always looking." Answer Cloud.
