Rainbow for Aqila
Chapter 12: Just Tired

Rain spots greet the earth in the depths of the night, moonlight and millions of stars covered in cloudy clouds, followed by lightning strikes as well as the sound of thunder that makes the night increasingly gripping

While all the oarangs were soundly asleep with a warm blanket wrapped around their bodies, Aqila chose to sit on the balcony of her room, watching the rain speck that fell along with her tears

He always brushed off everything about the disease, ranging from frequent headaches, often forget, nosebleeds and even hair loss

He always assured himself that he was just exhausted no more than that, the hair loss he often experienced was considered because he was just stressed with his mind no more than that

Who would have thought this would happen?, who had just learned about this new thing Mother Maya and Naufal, and Aqila would make sure the two of them did not tell anyone

His family is happy at this time celebrating Kevin's wedding, Aqila does not want to ruin their happy atmosphere, nor can it tell his brother because they are busy? or just don't believe it

Aqila held a white envelope with a hospital logo, her hands shaking open the envelope to see the results of the examination

And

Tests

A drop of water soaked the hospital examination sheet, when he was declared to have stage 3 brain cancer

"Family is the best encouragement"

Aqila smiled softly at the doctor's words at that time, could she get the spirit from her family? Or just a mere dream until death to pick him up

His life may be soon, patients with stage three brain cancer including malignant cancer because of its rapid spread, can even rise to stage four or the final stage

Their average chance of survival is only a few years and only a small percentage recover, with treatment and chemotherapy to shrink the size of the cancer

Aqila stood up from her seat, took some ablution water and began to perform tahajud prayers, after which recited the holy verses of the Qur'an

His voice was carried away by the rhythm of the rain, the sky seemed to be sad along with his tears that slowly fell

Aqila knew God was the only place to hope, not to anyone including doctors, doctors only as an intermediary, Aqila knew he was not God himself with him, God saw him, God heard him, God knew everything, Aqila was convinced that God had prepared the best course for her

He knew that God would not give a test beyond the limits of his servant's woman, that night with the sound of rain that became a beautiful sleep rhythm for the inhabitants of the earth, Aqila prostrated herself to God because she knew that God's plan was so beautiful and that no man could ever guess

.

Everyone has a side that has never been shown to anyone, both lovers and family friends. Hiding the content of the heart and the true nature with false laughter and planned gestures, that is how false happiness is created

Always showing false laughter by hiding a torn heart, that was what Aqila had done until now

He looked at himself in the cermi, his hair was thinning due to severe loss

Tests

Blood dripping from his nose made him immediately take a tissue and clean it, he knew that he had to have the spirit to heal, Naufal was right if he could not achieve the dream to be happy with his family he had to have another dream and the dream was that he wanted to set up an art gallery and build a school for children who are less able, so that they can also feel a decent education

Aqila left early this morning, she chose to walk to further relax her mind by meeting the children on the street

Drett

Just about to open the door knob, a call came in from Naufal

"Hello, Assalamu'alaikum"

"Wa'alaikumussalam"

"Did you call early in the morning?" Aqila still does not believe that college badbyoy like Naufal has a soft side

"Gue in front of your house"

"Huh? What are you doing in my house?"

"Gue anterine"

"No need"

Wait a minute, Aqila thought for a moment, where did Naufal know that he was leaving early this morning

"No need to think macem-macem, I also have class today, and I also nanya Renata said you have morning class, so all right"

Renata, Aqila seems to have to warn her best friend not to give any information to strangers

"No need"

"Eh..."

Tut

Tut

Tut

The phone connection was already turned off by Naufal, Aqila without thinking long immediately ran out of the house before Naufal actually entered his house

His father who read the newspaper and sat in the living room was ignored, his mother who was preparing breakfast was not greeted, as well as Darren who also came down from the stairs before Aqila without greeting as usual

Aqila had no idea what was going on with her, which she knew she was just tired, tired of being ignored, even if greeting nothing more than the deheman she received

They also feel strange, because it is not usually Aqila like that, usually he will say hello or good morning with enthusiasm from the top of the stairs even though in a hurry

Or kiss the backs of their hands one by one, and say "do' Aqila will be a successful person"

But this morning was different, there was no more such greeting, they felt something different but did not bother with Aqila who was like that, maybe there was a sudden thing until she was like that, he said, that's how they think they are

.

"Out too" Aqila glared at Naufal sitting casually on his motorcycle seat

"The result is non?" Mr. Mamat who was guarding the gate asked Aqila, because Naufal who was sitting on the motorbike did not intend to enter or ask

"No, I..."

"He's my senior at the college sir"

Aqila immediately interrupted Naufal's words, afraid that he might say something

"Oowh" Mr. Mamat just nodded in response despite being confused about their relationship, but he appreciated the privacy of his employer's son by not asking further

"Let's go up" Naufal thrust a helmet at Aqila, instead of accepting Aqila instead of walking alone ahead of Naufal

"Hey, wait a minute"

Aqila paused and took a deep breath, she turned towards Naufal and crossed her chest in front of the man

"Gue wants to take a walk today, so sorry your ride was turned down"

Naufal gaped for a moment to see Aqila's attitude like that, he smiled thinly and then launched his motorbike

"Hahhh, finally free" Aqila took a breath and skipped around like a child who just got something

"Let's go together" Naufal suddenly appeared right at the end of the complex road, making Aqila automatically stop

"Where's the motor?" Aqila asked to see that the man was not carrying a motorbike

"My father left me at the patrol post" he said without sin pointing to Post Ronda across the street

"What if?"

"His father's word here is safe" Aqila patted his eel hearing that, what was actually inside Naufal's brain that chose to walk with him?

"Jaudah let's go" inevitably Aqila stepped on her feet before she was also late to campus

"Qila"

"Hmmm"

"Lo can be angry too?"

"Well, I'm a normal human being, you think I have a heart like what to never get angry?"

"Gue thought you could only cry, starting from Kenzo's accident, on the beach, in the hospital, I always met you in a sad state"

"Lo the first person to say that because people think I'm always happy, I'm also surprised, why is it when I'm sad you always show up?"
