Night Cloud
12. You're Human Too

...Warning: Everything here is fiction. To special children, allow me to make this fictional story so that there are no misunderstandings....

...BE REMINDED TO THE READER not to carry the names AYIN and WILONA outside of this novel (OOT, LATAH, LATAH, comments on all social media aespa and so on that make people uncomfortable and trigger fanwar) except for the promotion of Night Cloud you can be creative in your own content....

It was a hard day without Ayin. Not tired for him who continues to learn so that he can one day meet with Ayin again. Through college or work. Honestly, he was fed up with his monotonous life.

Even so, Wilona will continue to learn and continue to learn through her sign language. She gets in more often without getting sick than Naya. Even at her SLB school, Wilona tried to find activities.

Wilona is almost invisible at home making the Mother worried about her health. "Don't be forced if Wilo is tired, Adek's health is more important ... Bunda tau Adek gini because of Kak Ayin." the phrase Mother made her learning activities stopped at the study table. Wilona smiled knot.

He shook his head and made sign language. 'Father, the more diligent Wilo learns, the more Wilo meets Kak Ayin!' Mother stroked her head gently.

"You're tired, just take a break, okay?"

Wilona nodded after that Mother went to cook downstairs. Honestly, Wilona's tired. Even so, his fatigue was outdone by the sheer amount of determination he had put in. Wilona has promised herself to meet and restore Ayin's memory for her.

People with amnesia have difficulty remembering past events and new information. Neurological disorders such as uncoordinated movements and tremors. Frequently experiencing confusion.

The actual memory is still there, but it is stored very deep in the mind and cannot be remembered. Even so, the memory can reappear by itself or after being triggered by something that is around.

Wilona knows the symptoms. Therefore, Wilona is ready when she meets Ayin later when Ayin forgets her. He is also ready even though he will still be fragile again.

He's a normal human being. She can cry too. Can't see his brother forget it. I don't know since when his tears wet his book. Gisel's message went into his phone. Soon he wiped the tears and took the cell phone on the table.

Wilona read Gisel's message. That Ayin has moved since she got sick. Gisel apologizes and promises to take care of and be Ayin's surrogate brother for a while. Wilona caught her breath for a moment and replied to a message from Gisel.

He typed tremblingly and accepted Gisel's offer. Wilona closed her eyes for a moment when her head felt dizzy and throbbing. He held his forehead and massaged slowly.

Had it been that time Wilona kept Ayin from leaving. Surely he and Ayin will survive the accident and will definitely continue to be together forever. But what power, that event has passed and happened. His fate will not be able to be replayed.

His hands down opened his study drawer and looked for the drug paracetamol. He immediately opened and took the medicine and gulped down the mineral water. After the pain faded. Wilona glances at her frame with Ayin. The photo is still clean neatly arranged on the nightstand.

Wilona walked in her study chair to the nightstand. Picked up then rubbed Ayin's face. In the photo, Wilona hugs Ayin from behind and holds her hand while singing her lips. The photo was taken when Ayin was on her birthday. I photographed them happily.

Wilona shed her tears back. He realized that this room was now empty. No parties, no chatter, no jokes and no laughter. Just him and Mommy here. And now he's the only one in the room. Wilona waved her lips and placed the frame back where it was.

He took a sticky note and then wrote it slowly. The note contained; "Wait for Wilo to return, Brother Ayin." He put it behind that frame.

Then he closed his books and immediately got up from the chair to sleep. He still wants to blame himself for the accident.

...💌...

Gisel knocked on the door of his house, on Sunday morning, Palembang City was so bright that the mute girl opened the door slowly displaying it behind the door.

"Let's go to Punti Kayu? I want to take a picnic outside. Look at the bright clouds in Palembang!" Wilona agrees and then she runs into Mother's room to tell her that she will have a picnic with Gisel today.

****

After they arrived at the picnic site. Gisel put his body on the pedestal. While Wilona leaned back on the shady tree. Gisel's eyes stared at the blue sky with the moving clouds there. The shady tree makes the air in Palembang even cooler.

Wilona breathed deeply into the beautiful city of Palembang. "You say, every time we look at the sky. Must be calm, huh, inn? I think the atmosphere is really pretty. The burden of thought is gone." Wilona agreed.

"I'm sure, Ayin in another city must be relaxed. At this hour he's playing!" The joke from Gisel managed to make Wilona laugh without a sound. Happy he is today.

"Sister Gisel will be your substitute brother as long as Kak Ayin has not met,"

"Same old sister Gisel will continue to be beside you, take care of you and support you continue. Don't feel lonely. We're here to be your medicine and your sandals now." Wilona was silent and did not answer. His gaze became empty. His fingers played the green grasses—dark greenness.

Wilona. Holding his little note that he carries every day. Gisel knew what he meant, he got up and turned his position towards Wilona.

"I finally know, the catetan is stunned now it turns out for you, Wil." (I finally know, the note is useful now it turns out to be for your older sister, Wil).

Wilona nodded small. Trying to observe the note. Then he breathed a sigh. He turned his solids to the sky. He prayed, that God might tell his misses to his brother.

Wilona looked at Gisel. 'Sorry Wilo.' Gisel smiled then approached and extended a hand. "Here, you're gonna need a hug." Wilona moved and approached Gisel. Gisel hugged her warmly. He stroked Wilona's head.

"Gapapa .. You need rest, you are also human."

Wilona let go of the hug and then took Gisel leaning against the tree. He leaned his head against Gisel's shoulder.

"Aren't you the laper? If so, I'll take the food there."

Gisel took the picnic lunchbox. Wilona smiled knot. He gave Wilona bread. Then Wilona ate it voraciously making Gisel laugh.

"You're so funny, Kak Ayin's panties are always clamorous and like to hug you." Wilona's cheeks blushed red. He tried to hold a smile even though his mouth was filled with bread to make it look like a squirrel.

Wilona raised both hands and stringed up the words, she was seen hugging herself then raising both shoulders and as if hugging herself firmly. 'But his embrace Kak Ayin made a breath.' Gisel laughed again. Gisel invites Wilona to lie down with him to see the blue sky. He lay down beside Gisel.

"You like the sky, Ayin likes the sky blue." For sure. If your sister likes the night, she will love the morning. Like complementing each other.

'He likes blue.' Wilona pointed at the sky along with her sweet smile. Gisel was silent for a moment. The atmosphere so quiet there was only wind blowing and the sound of the leaves moving because of the wind.

"You will graduate soon, Brother is also ready now. You still want to wait for Ayin?" Wilona answered that question.

'Yes, Wilo will continue to wait for Ayin to come home.' Gisel smile. Then they both looked at each other. I hope that day will happen.

...💌...

Semarang, Central Java.

On the other hand, there is a girl who is experiencing sudden confusion due to the influence of her disease. His head kept pulsing. He started holding his body at the study table. That girl Ayin.

"Friday again."

Ayin's hands fumbled and looked for the medicine on her desk. When he had found it, Ayin immediately drank it on the spot. He finds it hard to accept new information and remembers little of the past.

Every time he remembers the past, there is a sense of obstruction. He vaguely recalled something again in his mind as if the shadow had suddenly appeared. The short haired girl. Ayin felt unconnected to a particular memory as if it belonged to someone else. The effect of medicine, he thought.

Ayin sat down and started to open her phone. Display messages from specific people. There's a Gisel name in there. Ayin has been close to Gisel ever since she met him in the hospital. Gisel always accompanied him.

According to Ayin, the child was a good child sent by God to accompany him. There are no friends besides Gisel. There is, but not too close. Ayin started smiling as Gisel told her funny things in her message column.

"It's so funny." Ayin hung up her phone and then she stood looking for her mother. "Ma" call the girl.

The person called also shrieked in an annoyed tone. Already ordinary, Ayin was getting rough treatment by her stepmother. Even so, Ayin still loved him. He hoped, he could get a sister so that he would not be lonely.

"Ayin kangen...." Ayin approached the mother spoiled. The person grieves then pushes Ayin rudely. "Dear spoiled, diem there." Stepmom Ayin pointed to the dining chair.

"Say Dad, Mama's pregnant, huh?" The question made the mother a little calm not upset like before. "Yes. No longer dear to you." Ayin smiled happily, it was fine.

"Gapapa, Ayin's origin has adek and Ayin can play equally adek!" A sigh of resignation and hate sounded in Ayin's ears.

"Sunny. Uruzin tuh, college! Didn't pass your college test. My son doesn't know himself, I'm ashamed of my husband." He leaves Ayin alone in the dining room. Just plain, it's common. But why is he feeling so tired today or maybe he is tired.

"Later if Adek was born, I would love it very much" Ayin murmured.

He got up and stood up from the dining chair. Greeting his father who just came home. "Graduating?" Ayin shakes. His father told Ayin to be patient.

Ayin sighed resignedly, he had tried many times for the entrance test, but he was rejected. He went upstairs into the room and closed the door. Stress Ayin, he's just trying to paint. Eliminates the stress that builds up in his head.

His hands began to tremor, he stopped his painting activities. He looked at his hands that did not stop trembling. He stared blankly at the immeasurable thick books.

"I'll be private again." Ayin rubbed his face rough. Confused by his decision. "That's a damn piece." Ayin stood up and started lying on the bed. Hopefully, tomorrow there is a miracle that makes him excited again to get through the day.

I want to have a brother, so I can understand me.

SERIATE....
