I'm Not/Only a Shadow
The truth

Alyla nodded her hand to press the bell on the right side of the door, Immediately someone opened the door from the inside displaying someone smiling.

"Assynoltomodel.."

"Waalaikumsalam, uh Miss Risa"

"Yes bi Lastri, can I meet Mr Adam?"

"Mother, come in" Bi Lastri invited Alyla in.

"Den Adam's breakfast again, will Bu Risa wait here or wait inside?"

"I just wait here Bi" Alyla pointed to the terrace chair with a table in the middle of 4 seats facing.In front of the terrace there is a small fish pond filled with ornamental fish.

Bi lastri went into the house to rush to the dining room, actually Bi lastri was curious about Risa's business meeting with her master what, especially in a pale state of Risa even around her black eyes.

"Who's coming bi?" karina asked, they were having breakfast together.

"That's the lady there is Miss Risa said she wants to meet Den Adam"Adam stopped her chewing, then moved from her seat.

Karin and Arya throw their gazes at each other, and Arya nods."Yes, thank you" said Karina.

"Same madam, I'm sorry to make Miss Risa a drink"

Adam had darted off to meet Alyla who had been filling his mind since last night.

Adam was still watching Alyla in front of him, Alyla was seen staring blankly at the front of her hands squeezing each other, Alyla's face looked pale with a black line around her eyes, Adam grimaced inwardly looking at Alyla's appearance.

"Emmm.." Adam cleared his throat to signify his presence.

Alyla flinched from her daydream and tried to get up from her seat limply to greet Adam, "Assalamualiakum Pak Adam" Alyla said.

A moment of silence Alyla took a deep breath to begin with."We live in a simple family Kak Luna is smarter and more confident than me, tend to want to get everything you want, we go to school in the same place in High School.We have many friends maybe I, to be exact,because they were closer to me, until one day Kak Luna liked our upperclassman, but a few days later the upperclassman expressed his feelings for me and made Kak Luna angry and sad.

"My house was closer to our parents because I would rather be at home than playing with friends outside,I don't know maybe that's why Luna thought our parents loved me more than Luna, after graduating Kak Luna decided to go to Jakarta but I decided to stay with our parents and the lecture was hummed."Adam was still listening, Alyla's voice was getting pale and her eyes were soft.

"One day Kak Luna asked Father and Mother to go to Jakarta, but on that day my Campus held an event that invited parents to attend,so Dad told Kak Luna because they could not attend, even though we had planned to leave for Jakarta after the event was finished and gave Kak Luna a surprise, he said,but on the car trip we had an accident Dad and Mom died on the spot, only I survived.

A week after Dad and Mom died, Luna sold the house and brought everything Dad and Mom had and left me and said 'You don't need any of this,since you've taken the lives of Father and Mother, please forgive your regrets Beloved son'." Alyla shed her tears, Adam was transfixed with Alyla's story, as evil as Aluna.

"A year after Father and Mother died I met with Kak Luna, I thought as time went on and all my suffering could take away Kak Luna's grudge, but it was not enough.

Kak Luna asked me to be Kak Luna for a while because Kak Luna worked as a secretary without your knowledge, she said you would be angry if you knew Kak Luna was working,I thought you really loved Kak Luna so much that you didn't want Kak Luna to get tired of working.I agreed to replace Kak Luna for your Birthday at that time,because I thought that until you got angry you would break up and make me feel guilty.

After it all just happened there was no intention to fool you or your family about me, when I was about to leave that time, someone said you were sick and your Mama asked me to take care of you,That night Kak Luna came but to leave again for good, then told me the real reason why asking me to replace her and that's because Kak Luna always felt like my shadow first,and hate because everyone's attention is always on me, and want me to feel what he feels is his shadow, until Luna leaves. When I was about to leave too you came and thought I was Kak Luna and did 'that' I've tried to explain that I'm not Kak Luna but it seems like anger shackles you until your ears can't hear anything else, Kak Luna succeeded I have indeed managed to destroy it,even now I never forget it."

Alyla wiped her rough tears.Adam still quietly digested everything.

Suddenly Alyla stood and knelt at Adam's feet, Adam jumped in shock and rose from his seat "What are you doing!!"Said Adam

"Please forgive me, all my mistakes have mercy on me, please do not take Azka from me, she is half my life, not not not not half, but my whole life is on Azka, Azka,please let our lives run as before your presence, please don't take Azka from me, please, please" Alyla put her hands together in front of her chest while bowing her head, her face was already full of tears, she said,whatever Alyla will do for Azka, Alyla does not want Adam to take Azka away from her life.

"What do you think, you think by doing that I will give up on Azka so?, won't I still fight for my rights as the Father of Azka." Adam could not understand why Alyla accused Adam of separating Azka and Alyla, although he had said that but it was just a bluff because Adam was afraid that Alyla would not allow Adam to meet Azka.

Alyla clenched her hands her heart was sick withholding tightness but Adam still did not give up on his rights, Alyla tried to stand from his knees but his body was weak, his eyes were already cawed fireflies since earlier, Alyla tried to stand from his knees,his head felt heavy until the subconscious mastered it.
