Ayin was now sitting on the balcony. I don't know why, tonight he wants to look up at the sky. The sound of footsteps rang out from behind Ayin's back. Wilona sat next to Ayin. Ayin turned to look at Wilona and threw a smile.

Wilona turned her palms upwards towards her chin and moved them as if rubbing her chest which meant she was happy to see the clouds of night.

"Did you like the malem cloud? 'Don't you look at anything?" Wilona nodded.

He moved his hand again, his index finger pointed at himself and his face a happy expression. 'Wilo seneng sky equals night clouds. Try it, Ayin looked up, she was filled with beautiful stars, beautiful colors,"

"The sky is not just a moon but, there are beautiful stars there. The air calms Wilo's heart, Ayin's sister.' His hands pointed up at the dark sky and were only illuminated by stars and moons.

Ayin nodded his head in understanding, he knew Wilona from childhood loved the sky at night. Including Ayin, but Ayin is not as often as seeing the sky.

Wilona used to go to the balcony every night until she forgot the time. Sometimes, Ayin had to approach her to immediately enter the room.

Wilona pointed at the night sky again, she made her hands cone-shaped like a house. 'The sky that night was like a third house for Wilo, calming,'

"Who's the second house, Dek?"

His hands were pursed, his face was smiling then pointed at Ayin and held her chest— pointed at him. 'That second house, Ayin. Because Kak Ayin was always on Wilo's side, while the first house was family.'

Ayin's heart tightness. He had always considered Ayin as his home. He promised, he would never let Wilona down in the slightest. It never will.

"Calm down, look at the sky...." Ayin still looked up at the sky. Wilona. He patted Ayin on the shoulder and pointed at one of the fallen stars.

"Sir Ayin hope, we still keep together yeah, still together."

Wilona looked at Ayin's face. She is grateful to have a sister like Ayin. He put his hand straight to his chin as if giving fly kiss. The sign language meant that he thanked Ayin.

"Why?" Ayin turned to look at the sign language carefully. Wilona points to herself which means 'me'.

'Wilo is grateful to be able to be a brother Ayin. Ayin's sister is kind, humorous and gentle. Wilo is always grateful for all of that.'

Ayin pulled Wilona's body and hugged her tightly. "Thank you, I'm proud to have a sister like Kak Ayin. Sorry Ayin Kak if you ever hurt Adek."

Wilona nodded and smiled behind it. Ayin felt her clothes being squeezed by Wilona. He showed that he loved Ayin.

He let go of his embrace and they faced each other. 'Wilo's house is Ayin's sister.' Ayin looks at Wilona's smile that expands to show her cheeks filled with it and dimples.

I heard a call from Mother for both. Ayin invites Wilona inside. Before that, Ayin opened her phone to see what time it was. And it turns out that unwittingly, Ayin and Wilona have spent their time now showing at ten p.m.

...💌...

Ayin has been looking for Wilona at home. He panicked because Wilona was not heard at all. "Adeek, where the hell is it?!" His tone was now irritated with furious stomping footsteps.

Ayin opens the balcony door and sees Wilona crying silently. He's down on the balcony railing. Ayin regrets being upset with Wilona who disappeared for no reason.

Ayin walked up to Wilona and patted her softly until she barely touched Wilona's back. He saw Wilona's eyes turn red and her tears just kept flowing. He shook his head and wiped his tears.

"Why are you?"

Wilona raised her finger. Wilona's finger pointed towards the room door. Then his finger he put over his lips formed a whisker.

'The same Mother fought again ... Wilo was sad, sick to see Mother being yelled at by Dad.' The wind moved both of their hair. Ayin's eyes looked at the stars in the sky.

'This is Wilo's fault, maybe I'm ashamed to have a child like Wilo.' Ayin shakes her head to reject Wilona's words.

"No! Wilo's not wrong, it's not your fault!" Ayin looked annoyed. Wilona trembled withstanding the cry. He exhaled softly even though his chest hurt.

His eyes were fixed on the stars scattered in the sky. Bright and soothing. Only dark clouds move transparently. His eyes stared at one of the bright stars.

It's good, so a star? I like a lot of people and make a lot of people calm.

"Yuk in." Ayin pulled Wilona's hand and went into the room.

...💌...

"Geek, let's go for a walk!" With a cheerful face, Wilona nodded. Mother chuckles to see the two of them get along.

"Take a play, take care of it." Ayin nodded and began to ask her to change clothes.

Wilona moved her hand again. Wilona asked where they were going. Ayin said that she took Wilona to the biggest bookstore in Palembang. Wilona was so enthusiastic that she was one of the lovers of novels.

After a few minutes they changed clothes. Wilona and Ayin get in the car and Ayin drives. They were allowed to use the car because his father felt they were adults.

When they had arrived, Wilona was most enthusiastic. There he walked in first while Ayin smiled broadly at Wilona's spirit. Ayin calls him and points at the penguin doll on the left of the doll shelf.

"That's funny, huh?"

Wilona nodded then picked up one of the penguin dolls. He pointed at the penguin and his hand turned to Ayin.

'The penguin looks like Ayin's sister, it looks a lot!'

Ayin laughed with anxiety. "It doesn't look like Adek, does it? Adek is confused that his face looks like a penguin!" Wilona's cheeks flushed and then hit Ayin's small arm.

Wilona wiggles the body of the penguin doll. It seems like he was interested in buying the doll. "So liked? Let's buy." Wilona hugged the doll tightly and held Ayin's hand.

Ayin finds a large penguin-shaped doll as well. He pointed and looked at Wilona. Wilona smiled and ran towards the doll. Ayin seemed to shake his head, the price was so expensive. Wilona knew he wouldn't buy it.

They spend time together there. After they buy novels, dolls and cute items. They immediately came to the cafe for dinner. Wilona appears to show one of the foods in the menu book.

"Did you like it?"

Wilona nodded enthusiastically. Wilona moved her hand quickly, she said she was really happy tonight. Ayin was so happy and calm when she saw Wilona happy. He was no longer sad to think about family matters. Reasik Wilona was so happy, both his hands raised parallel to the ears and moving to the right and left that sign language 'joy'.

Ayin pushed her plate and offered her food. "You want Ayin's sister to bribe you?" Wilona nodded and opened her small mouth. Ayin is anxious with Wilona pinched her cheek first and then fed her.

A surprised and astonished look from Wilona. True Ayin said that Wilona if confused and surprised his face will look like a penguin.

...💌...

Wilona and Ayin walk towards the parking lot. Their footsteps slowed down as they stared at the starlit night sky. Wilona held Ayin's hand to continue walking and pointed to the moon that was perfectly bright. Look at the bright stars.

Wilona starts putting down her grocery bags and then starts stringing sign language for Ayin. Ayin stared at the hand gestures made by Wilona.

'Sister Ayin, Wilona is happy. Wilona wants to see the stars again.' Ayin nodded allowing Wilona to see him.

"You can now hold the stars because you have bought a star doll," joked Ayin made Wilona smile on her side.

'But if you can, Wilona wants to take a real star in the night sky.' Ayin looked at her face, Wilona looked at Ayin seriously. "Over dong, you will be old when you return to earth."

'Wilo wants to star for Ayin.'

Wilona smiled sweetly then picked up something in the grocery bag. He gave a snack to Ayin.

"Thank you, dear Adek."

Wilona sighed. He tapped on Ayin's arm for her to look at him.

'But honestly, Wilo wants us to stay together. Wilo does not want to separate from Ayin.' Ayin's heart was again hurt to see Wilona's words. It means so deep.

"Sir, Ayin will not abuse Adek."

Wilona believed that. Wilona raised her head staring at the beautiful night sky. He hopes his prayers are answered. He thanks God for giving him a good older brother even though Ayin was always ignorant of him.

"Let's go home, see the sky again. Tomorrow we can again!" Wilona nodded and picked up the bag below and walked back to the car.

Wilo promised, Wilo will always be next to Ayin.

SERIATE.
