Rainbow for Aqila
Thank You

"Can anyone explain? What'sthis?" said Darren repeated his words by lifting the white envelope results of the hospital examination also opened the results of the ST scan

"Sir Darren, let's sit down first" Kirana pulled Darren's hand towards one of the garden chairs there

Kirana was sitting in the middle between the brothers, Darren still holding the results of the examination and ST scan with his head down, Kirana guessed he was crying. While Aqila chose to look straight ahead with a flat gaze with no expression at all

"Aqila Valisha Bramadja" Darren called out his sister's name with a quivering voice

"Hmm?" only Deheman was given Aqila in response

"Do you still think of us as your family?" Aqila chuckled at her brother's question

"Aren't I the same as big brother? Do you still consider Aqila a family?" Aqila said that without any expression at all which actually made it look miserable, as if her soul had disappeared

"What does that question mean? Of course we think of you as family" Darren's tone sounded angry and disliked Aqila's words

"Thank you then..." Aqila paused for a moment with a still flat look

"Thank you for making me jealous of your harmony, thank you for making me learn to appreciate the feelings of others more and ignore my own heart, thank you for making me realize that my family is different from other people's families, and thank you for the distance created between us that makes me feel like a stranger to you"

Darren was silent for a long time, his tears dripping from Aqila's words, unknowingly the distance between them had come so far that Aqila had hidden this deadly disease from her family because she considered herself a stranger

"Do you hate us?" Darren defeated his gaze at Aqila who was reluctant to look at him, Aqila shook her head

"Aqila is just tired for now, allow Aqila to fix her heart first to be ready to give up for the next day"

"Aqila is not angry anyway, just tired so just let Aqila rest, Aqila was tired of the smile is not clear brother, Aqila wanted to cry first so Aqila's heart is calmer" aqila said she shed her tears unconsciously

Aqila's words seemed to pierce the recesses of Darren's heart, his sister who was always seen cheerful and smiling in fact only a mere mask, Kirana who sat next to Aqila patted the shoulders of his cousin while wiping tears

"Where can Aqila be angry, if it turns out that Aqila went to a far place and could not return" Aqila took a deep breath and got up from her seat

"Aqila don't say that" Kirana's voice choked because she held back tears

"Well come on in, Reyna will be angry again with Aqila like yesterday, now happy day why should cry?" he started to step up while wiping away the rest of his tears

Greppp

Aqila's body stiffened, Darren hugged her from behind, the long-lost embrace of a sister, the embrace she often envied seeing Reyna, the sincere embrace that symbolized affection

"Sorry, sorry brother who never understood Aqila" he said shed tears to wet the hijab worn by Aqila

"Why should I apologize? Brother is not wrong, Aqila is wrong for not telling you, why should I apologize?" aqila asked with her voice trembling but Darren did not let go of his embrace

"Sister, we go inside, Reyna will be the same as the others nyariin" Finally the hug was released by force, Darren never even noticed his sister's body more and more take care of every day, Darren, until guilt returns

"Let's go inside" Darren held Aqila's hand that had never been done before

"Come on Kirana" Aqila forcibly took off the armband, because she somehow felt uncomfortable when she saw the new attitude that Darren showed her. Aqila chose to hold the hand of Kirana who was silent looking at the scene of the brothers

While Darren looked at his hand that had just been released smiling wryly, what was the distance between them now?

The three people entered the house while the cake cutting was taking place, Darren smiled sweetly at Reyna who was cutting the cake and was greeted with a smile no less sweet by Reyna

"Aqila" Renata immediately approached her paler-looking friend

"Who are you?" Kirana instantly pulled the hands of the two people back, in search of a quieter place

"Lo Renata right?" Renata nodded in answer to Kirana's question

"Gue asked for your phone number, I'll tell you later" Renata looked confused but still gave her number

"Later to call, now I can't" Although she was filled with many questions, Renata could only silently nod when she saw Kirana holding Aqila back in the middle of the party

"Where's aqila?" Darren who was aware of Aqila's disappearance asked Devano

"Pulled Kirana back, I think it's important"

"Sister Darren let's eat the cake" Reyna gave a piece of cake on a small plate to Darren

"In the meantime, I'm looking for Aqila first" he said, sounding a worried tone from the way he spoke

"Where else is that boy now? last year forgot now forget again?" Papa Arya shook her head

"So she was here, but somehow lost where" Rian answered her nonchalantly

"Sir Darren enjoy it, Aqila later" said Reyna, how also this is his birthday party

Darren was surrounded by feelings of anxiety and worry, although he was not an oncologist but little did he know about the symptoms of the deadly disease

"That's Aqila" Devano pointed towards Aqila that Kirana pulled past the hordes of people partying

"Where are you two?"

"We are from here Ma" replied Aqila who made a pain arise on their forehead

"I mean we were in the back row of aunty" Kirana replied when again the disease affected her

"What are we doing behind the back?"

"Aqila are you saying that? Are you the same as Kirana?" Wonderful Mama Intan

"Yes, it was the same Kirana" Aqila's increasingly nonsensical answer made the twitching on their foreheads even more apparent

"Kirana, where's the gift?" Kirana painstakingly opened the bag that Aqila was wearing to take out a small dark blue gift

While Darren, who saw that, silently wiped away his tears, the illness had affected the way he spoke as well as his sister's memory

"Happy birthday, I'm sorry last year Aqila forgot" Aqila said giving her gift box to Reyna

"Sama-sama sister" Aqila retreated slowly after Reyna said that, she held her head for a moment, and clenched her hands holding back the pain, fortunately the guests of the event focused on enjoying the party until no one noticed them except Darrenn and Kirana

"Grandma and grandma are here too? How come?" aqila turned her eyes forward

"Aqila what are you talking about?" Devano who was next to him sharpened his hearing, he did not listen wrong? Their grandparents and grandparents are dead

"Grandpa and grandma are here, Vano" said Aqila once again who immediately made Kirana pull him to sit on the sofa there, really hallucinations that come at the wrong time, imagine what doesn't exist as if there is
