Cliches
13. Open

“what are you doing?“

I didn't heed the question, I was just fixated on that bandaged head.

“ you okay?“

I forced myself to make sure, to clear the question I thought from earlier. These nanar eyes were getting increasingly uncontrollable, tears were coming out as hard as the current rain. No answer came out of his lips, he just nodded his head and held me tight. I shed all the water I held in the dam in my eyelids. I poured out all my fear, while he resigned and tightly wrapped his hands until I drowned in his body.

Adhan took me to his house, he gave me a change of clothes to change my wet clothes. Do you know how I feel?This was the first time I had ever worn his clothes. He gave me a very warm knit shirt. He also dried my hair with a towel. His eyes never escaped my eyes. My heart is more than average. We were struck by the ringing of the phone which read, obviously it is not my phone because my phone has closed its eyes since.

“ hello Firas, yes I have found him. Now that he's at my house, let him stay here tonight. WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND ??!! “

sounds a little upset at the end of the sentence. I don't know what made him go up that tone.

“ hey, maruko chan, why can't your phone be contacted? “

“ lowbath since then, I called brother Firas asking for your house, after it was extinguished “

his sharp eyes made me wonder.

He's coming out and I don't know where I am either. Then is this his room? my eyes began to comb every corner. I was buried in a picture frame beside his bed, at first glance seen a photo of togetherness with a long-haired woman. My feet are running towards that little table.

“ Hey, it's warm milk, drink “

“ thanks, “

“ you like watching movies?”

I nodded and followed her steps towards the living room. Really a big and neat house. All the interior items are perfectly arranged. Adhan prepared some tapes he had. There are horror, comedy, and drama. What makes me spin in my heart is children's cartoons. What did he do with the cartoon Sinchan? it really describes his face. Really a muscular and tall burly body like this is not funny if you have to enjoy a cartoon?

“ I want to see this “

I held up the high cassette of the movie Sinchan which made me have to hold back my laughter while doing it. He looked astonished and wondering.

“ where did this come from? I don't feel like buying these crazy kids' tapes? “

“ have confessed, you repeatedly call me maruko chan, surely every day you also see the cartoon film right? “

“ I've never seen a silly movie “

“ but looking around, Sinchan's face is a bit similar to yours. Are you brothers? “

“ hey, shut up “

Adhan throws a pillow at my face violently, but I think at all times there is still affection in it.

We spent the night enjoying each of these sinchan series. Not spared, we also had time to laugh with silly actions. I don't know what story was written this night. But when I woke up in the morning I had fallen asleep gracefully in a blue room.

Tell me little things to fill time. I also had time to praise the taste of his cooking that was near perfect. He is truly a man who can do everything well. Contrary to me who is always careless.

My job is to wash and clean the kitchen. Adhan went somewhere, he said he wanted to check the clothesline. But I was shocked when I gently touched my shoulder. I think he must be giving me a little surprise. His life always has surprises for me. But this time what I saw was not Adhan. This man was tall, mature and his eyes were twinkling as he looked at me. Along with her eyes, she does. More than anything I've ever felt when I got a surprise from Adhan. The presence of this man just makes me wonder and very surprised mixed up so I can not express.

“ Zhu, you Zhu.. The zhulaikhah? “

he called my name many times to see if I was someone he knew or not.

“ Father? “

I was wondering if this was someone I knew and missed all this time? my father, a father who was missing for years. It wasn't my father who disappeared, but me.

The father I missed all this time. Is it true that he in front of me is my father ? just like he filled my eyes right now. I was caught in his arms. Not a word came from our lips. My father and I were swept away in a meeting. I never imagined I would be reunited with my father. I can touch dad and even feel the warm embrace of dad. Many times my father took off his arms and kissed my forehead and face, and then hugged me back and repeated like that.

“ dad, where's mom? “

“ forgive dad, mom has been dead since eight years ago baby. Mom is sick and does not improve. Mom has heart failure, and that's because dad can't take good care of mom.I'm sorry dear dad, forgive dad who can't take good care of you.“ dad cried to be.

“ father, all is not the father's fault, but it has been written the story of our lives like this. Not to regret but to live. Thank goodness dad is still alive and we can meet back dad “

we embrace the intimate more tightly and become, no matter who is around us. I saw the figure of a woman standing behind my father was solemn’ wiping his tears. There was also Adhan who stood firmly staring at us.

“ Oh yes Zhu, introduce!! this is the woman who accompanied and gave father affection for the last years. Dance father's wife, and new mother to you, son. You don't mind? “

I was shocked and disbelieving, God brought a whole new family. How can I refuse if this woman has been keeping my father happy all this time. I waved a smile welcoming Tari's mother, the woman that my father introduced. And since then wipe away his tears.

“so long ago we searched for you son, mother also very much expect this meeting “

in line with my father, my mother Dance also kissed my forehead and both corners of my cheeks. Heavy breathing still felt, I was confused to say and behave like what.

“ thanks, mom has taken care of my dad. He is a very great man, I am very happy to meet my father and have a mother as beautiful and soft said like bu Tari “ the figure of the mother in front of me is smiling and hugging me back.

One thing that was going through my mind was why these two people were here. Isn't this Adhan's house, and since last night we were just the two of us. Adhan said his parents were on their way home from Lombok. And if this morning who was here were these two people. What is possible ??

“ and that, that handsome hunk and that's your sister. Bu's son Dance from a previous marriage, he's three years older than you “

I have not succeeded in guessing the answer to my question, father has made lightning move over my head. It feels like thunder is breaking my heart right now, the person I've known all along as the person who grabbed my heart is my brother? my half-sister? what am I supposed to do? What's in my mind? I felt so silly this morning.
