Rainbow for Aqila
Feels Foreign

The morning became a different morning and felt strange to Aqila, this is because the attitude of her family that suddenly changed after the incident last night, that night Aqila chose to go straight home after the infusion ran out on the grounds of college and did not want to be in the hospital longer

The atmosphere of the dining table is now warmer and he feels more cared for by his family, such as when his brother asked gently what he wanted to have breakfast with, his father who often invited him to talk about the campus, and his family, his mother who always reminded him to rest, it was Aqila's dream, but why? Why does he feel so foreign to this situation

His heart seemed to have gotten used to their previous behavior, his heart was already immune to their indifference or coldness, until suddenly everything changed, he was not used to it even though from the beginning this was what he wanted

"Aqila left for campus" Aqila stood up from the chair and grabbed her bag

"Come brother Anterin" Darren who was sitting next to him stood up

"No need, Aqila can ride her own motorbike"

"But your bike is still behind in the company papa" Aqila patted the eel, forgetting the incident yesterday, he just left the bike

"Aqila called Renata aja" Aqila pulled out her phone from the bag to contact her best friend but her hand was first pulled by Darren

"Don't ngeyel, come brother anter"

Aqila just nodded, kissing their hands one by one and saying greetings, a habit that made him different from his other brothers

"Let's go in" Darren opens the door to let Aqila in, but Aqila looks reluctant

"Sister Darren won't drop Aqila in the middle of the road again, will he?" he asked with a soft voice that even pierced Darren's heart

"No way, big brother" Darren pointed his pinkie, just like what they did when they were kids

Aqila finally nodded in confidence and got into the car

Drett

Darren's phone vibrated, seeing the name of the caller Reyna, his sister who was staying at a friend's house because she had to do campus work

"Hello Rey"

"Hello Darren, minto can you please pick up Reyna?"

"Sister Vano same Kak Rian exist, tell them or there is Galang right?"

"They said they had gone to papa's office if Galang had been arrested"

"Jaudah wait brother for a moment, sister should nganterin Aqila first to the campus"

"Snap brother"

"Yes"

Darren turned off his phone by taking a deep breath, the distance from campus to Reyna's friend's house is not a fairly close distance

"Sir Darren pick up Reyna aja, get off Aqila here, Aqila walk later, the campus is already deket"

"No way, I promised you'd get to college"

"But Reyna Kasian is waiting alone there, you better pick her up, the distance is also far away?" However Aqila knew what her position was like, she understood how much affection her sisters had for Reyna

"No promise to you, make it to campus"

"Lupain aja promise that, if Reyna why would be dangerous, just get off me here, later I call Renata to pick me up" said Aqila with a reassuring smile

Darren was overwhelmed with worry, he was afraid of anything happening if he took Reyna longer, but his promise to Aqila was also not something that could be kept

"Front of a huge traffic jam, brother downin aja Aqila here" indeed hours like this are hours people go to work and children to school, so it's natural if it's stuck

"OK, but be careful" Darren finally gave up making Aqila smile

Darren gasped at Aqila's words, again he could not keep his umpteenth promise to Aqila

Meanwhile, Aqila walked towards the campus which was about to take another five minutes, yet someone she knew was sitting in the garden and was seen crying from her trembling shoulders

"Renata" Aqila holds the person's shoulder which turns out to be Renata's true best friend

"Lo why?" instead of answering Aqila's question, Renata stood up and was about to step away but her hand was pulled by Aqila

"Lo why?" Aqila repeated her question

"Why should I tell you, who do you think I am?"

"What do you mean by that? My best friend, I'm like my own brother"

"Where is a friend who hurts his best friend's heart"

"Gue hurts your heart? When?" Renata only silently responded to Aqila's question

"Okay, if you're ever wrong I apologize equally you" said Aqila cupped her hands in front of the chest

"Lo is so guilty Aqila, why don't you tell me? Why don't you tell me about your illness? Do you still think I'm a friend?" Renata shook her best friend's arm, making Aqila feel guilty

"sorry"

"Gue really wanted to tell you today"

"If it wasn't your cousin who told you, I probably wouldn't know"

"sorry"

Renata hugged Aqila's body tightly and shed a cry on her best friend's shoulders

"Don't go, don't stay with me"

"Our living and dead mind is in the hands of God, it has become the unchangeable destiny of man"

"Let's not give up, you must have the spirit to heal" Aqila smiled and nodded

The wind blew shaking the leaves of trees, the sound of water splashing from the pond built in the garden was so soothing, plus the sunlight covered by shady trees made the atmosphere more comfortable

Not many people in the park, because it is still morning and it is a working day not a holiday, the car that passes on the highway was not as much as this morning

"We're really truant now?" Aqila glanced at the clock on her wrist that had already passed from the clock that the lecturer said

"Mister Jamal's lesson now, of course, is just giving up the task out of class" Renata replied casually and Aqila could only nod, however she as an exemplary student never skipped like now

"How does your family react? They care?"

"Well, I feel alien to their present attitude, as if my heart had become accustomed to their former attitude" Aqila answered Renata's question with a straight look forward to seeing the water from the pool that began to fill and moisten the grass around it

"In addition, my heart says that their attitude is more visible as a kasian attitude rather than caring"

"They're the same as me who's sick, they're looking at my hair falling out, they're watching me nosebleed"

"They said you should have the spirit to heal, but why do I even want to go with them talking about it" Aqila chuckled saying that

"Lo don't say that" Renata shook Aqila's arm, not liking her best friend's words

"Why if I wasn't sick? their attitude must still be the same"
