The Agent's Shadow Bed
Dara Sadar

A month passed Dara was still in a coma. Alzam and Emira go back to the hospital every day. They are not tired of hoping that Dara will soon realize. Alzam and Emira sat in a chair located outside the ICU. They're still silent. Each one thought something in his mind.

"Alzam what are you thinking?" ask Emira.

Alzam breathed his rage. Heavy and tight weight on his chest. It piled up and made it difficult to breathe.

"If Dara is siuman, I want to invite Dara to go abroad for treatment" said Alzam.

"To foreign countries?" Emira surprise.

"Yes, Dara's health is declining, I don't want to regret it later" Alzam said.

"You're right, try your best, how it will work out" replied Emira. She smiles. Hopefully there is still hope for Dara to be healthy again.

"Emira," said Alzam.

"Yes" said Emira.

"If I leave later will you wait for me to come back?" ask Alzam.

Emira remained silent. Digesting the words of Alzam.

"Waiting for what?" ask Emira.

"Married to me" replied Alzam.

"Alzam, there's something you should know" Emira said. It was time for Emira to say this to Alzam.

"What?" ask Alzam. He wondered what Emira would say to him. Like something important.

"I may be Dara's missing sister" replied Emira.

Alzam instantly fell silent as Emira said that.

"If you're Dara's sister, then I don't ..," Alzam said heavily.

"You can't marry me" replied Emira. There's no way Alzam would marry a brother and sister at once.

Alzam. The hope of marrying Emira will be dashed.

"I'll be your sister-in-law, so we'll be family" Emira said.

"Emira, tell me if you love me, at least I know that" Alzam said.

Emira remained silent. Alzam's question is difficult to answer. He remembers everything he spent with Alzam.

"I beg you to answer that is enough if we can't be together" Alzam said.

Emira breathed her rage. Prepare to say his heart to Alzam.

"Yes" replied Emira. Just one word out of his mouth. Then he stood up. Leaving Alzam. Just a few steps. A nurse who had just come in to check on Dara's condition, called Alzam.

"Mistress Dara was awake" said the nurse.

Alzam and Emira smiled. They walked towards the ICU room where Dara was being treated. Go inside with the nurse. They came straight to Dara.

"Honey," said Alzam approaching. Kiss Dara's forehead and hold her hand.

"Where," said Emira.

Dara looked towards Alzam and Emira with teary eyes.

"Mas, Emira," said Dara.

Both Alzam and Emira smiled. It's good to see Dara is sober. Dara raised her hand into the air asking for Emira to hold her hand. Rushing Emira held Dara's hand.

"I was happy when I realized there were people I loved" said Dara.

Emira nodded with a smile. Same with Alzam. They were very happy when they saw that Dara was able to call out their names.

"I miss you too" replied Dara.

"In addition I miss you too Emira," added Dara.

"I miss you too Dara" said Emira.

The three of them let each other out the longing he had been feeling all along. Sharing a joy story. Dara looks happy to meet Alzam and Emira. The people he loves and loves.

***

A week passed. Emira and Dara go to the hospital for a DNA test. They went with Alzam to the hospital. Alzam didn't think Emira might be Dara's younger sister. His meeting with Emira while at the hotel was the road that brought Emira and Dara together. He is happy if later Emira is indeed Dara's sister, although it will make him impossible to marry Dara. Alzam no longer needs to worry about finding people who have to take care of Dara. After completing DNA tests in the laboratory in the hospital, they returned home to wait for the results to come out in the next few days.

Emira takes Dara to her room to rest. After he went out of Dara's room, Alzam asked Emira to speak together in the balcony of the family room upstairs.

"Emira if you were Dara's sister, would you stay here forever?" ask Alzam.

"I don't know, I'm a secret agent who might be able to return to base again after Dara recovers" Emira replied.

"Because she loves you so much, she definitely doesn't want you to be away from her" Alzam said.

"So promise me that Alzam, never hurt Dara, be happy with him! otherwise, I will beat you with my own hands" said Emira.

"I promise you, I will not hurt Dara again and I will make her happy" Alzam said.

Emira smiled faintly looking ahead.

"Then what if you weren't Dara's sister, would you be my wife?" ask Alzam.

"I'm an agent, maybe I can't stay in place, can you give me permission if I'm still an agent?" ask Emira.

"Originally you come back after doing your duty, I'll give you permission" Alzam replied.

Emira remained silent.

"Are you ready?" ask Alzam.

Emira nodded.

Then Emira looked up at the sky filled with stars and bright moons. The cold night wind felt on his skin. Emira inhaled deeply in the air at night that released all the fatigue in her heart.

"Emira your hair is so long as rapunzel, does your hair not hinder your work as a secret agent?" ask Alzam.

"No, I want to take care of him. Even if it is cut at least because of the length.

But I'll never cut it short" replied Emira.

"Why do you keep your long hair?" ask Alzam.

"When I was little, a boy told me that my hair was as beautiful as rapunzel. From that moment on I kept this long hair" Emira said.

"What does that boy mean to you? You seem to keep remembering that?" ask Alzam.

"Because of her I became a tomboy like this" said Emira.

"How can you tell the story?" ask Alzam.

"When I was 8 years old, I was bullied by my friends and they even hurt me, there was a boy helping me. He gave me the hat and the ball he brought to me. Since then, I have loved to wear a hat and play football. This is how I became a tomboy" replied Emira.

Alzam. Like remembering something.

"Emira, have you ever met her again?" ask Alzam.

"Not yet, it was my first meeting and until now I've never met him again. I don't know where he is now" replied Emira.

"He's near you, Emira" replied Alzam.
