Zehn POVs

I don't think I should be in this position right now. The morning that I should have been tidy became chaotic just because of him. Whether he was who I didn't understand, my body felt stiff when my gaze with him met.

It seems like he is the same as me, surprised. I even tried rubbing my eyes a few times, but nothing. He was still frozen looking at me without any expression. Until someone's voice breaks my daydream.

"Sorry, here! It's all two hundred grand" said the cashier, giving me a birthday cake box for Tara.

"This is mbak, thank you."

After giving two pieces of money a hundred thousand, I turned back to him who looked busy choosing some kind of cake. Where do I think I am now, what should I do? Wiped it first, then asked why did he imitate my handsome face?.

Ahh come on, I chose to walk first where my motorbike was driven. I'll wait for him to finish the payment. He briefly looked at me from across the street, then stepped closer to me. Maybe he knows what I'm doing right now if I'm not waiting for him.

"Are you having plastic surgery?" I asked spontaneously after he was in front of me. I really don't like anyone imitating my beautiful face.

She shook her head.

What the hell's going on? How can there be anyone who looks so much like me?.

"Ahh it seems like there is something strange here," I said when he just kept quiet earlier. Just like Jez, a cold, talkative creature.

"Zehn!?," he called out softly, what? He just called my name?.

"Ka.you know my name?."

He's nodding.

Hi, what's going on? I'm getting confused, why does he know my name? I just saw it this time. "Ta..know from whom?."

"Hear from my mother."

Deg

My mind began to sail as far as possible, what did his mother mean?

"May I meet with...."

".....Your mother?" asked me who somehow the question just came out.

"Follow me" he stepped into the car. I nodded, and followed him from behind.

My feelings are starting to feel bad, even I don't care what time it is. All I want to know now is him. Why our faces look alike. And his mother, know my name?.

"Let's go in," he invited her into such a magnificent house.

My heart was beating faster when the figure of a middle-aged woman looked at me from the stairs with a look that I could hardly understand. That woman is no stranger to me. Well, he was in a time bookstore with Tara and Krezy. The middle-aged woman who arrived left with a small child that Tara had met in the park.

His footsteps moved toward me and this guy next to me with glassy eyes. "Is she your mother?" I whispered before my body almost staggered as a warm embrace lunged in.

"My son."

Deg

My heart stopped beating, what did he say? Child?. Not likely. I shook off the strange thoughts from my brain. Trying to stay calm despite the many questions that want to come out right now.

That woman sobbed in my chest. Hugged me so tightly, even though I didn't return her embrace. "Annakku," he said again in a stout voice.

Why does my heart feel like it's rippling when he says that? And this hug, it feels very warm and comfortable. "Mom," said the man pulling a slow shoulder that I believe his mother.

The woman cupped my face, her gaze deepened with deep longing. Staring at me so softly, as if he was saying a regret there. "I'm sorry Mommy son."

My forehead is wrinkled, enough drama this morning. What's happening now is almost driving me crazy. "What do you mean, and who is he? Why is my face so similar to her. Then why does he know my name from you?" my lick.

A smile appeared on his face that was no longer young."Mommy-Son's son."

"You're my baby."

I could only silently digest the words that had just come out. The kid? Is she really my mother?

"Zehn, my son you've been this big."

Again the touch of his hand warmed my heart. Like a mother to her son. "Definitely Aryo takes good care of you, right?."

My eyes widened, even he knew what papa's name was. It can't be, right? She's-my mom.

My eyes warmed up when he showed me a picture of his wallet. A photo of twins with a husband and wife. And that's papa with this woman in front of me. Ohh, what a funny reality. I never thought that I had a twin brother, I thought that he would deliberately change his face to look like me.

My lips are stout, wanting to make a sound is very difficult. He hugged me tightly, as if he wouldn't let me go. What am I supposed to do now? Happy or sad?.

"Ke..why did you leave me?," escaped the question I had been thinking about.

He let go of his embrace, again that gaze ensnared me. "Your father would rather have property than his own family, son."

I would love to laugh listening to her very straightforward explanation. Yeah, correct. I believe he said the reason that papa would choose a treasure, because the papa I know is an ambitious figure with a treasure.

A slanted smile printed on my face. The family that almost drove me crazy turned out to be the one that had injured a woman who was now standing in front of me. It was fitting that my mother called Ziro my sister. What I even knew all along was that Ziro was my brother.

"It's mom son! Your mother," he said again shaking my arm.

I can't believe a drop of liquid made it out of my eyelid. I don't want to believe it, but this is the truth. The person I should hate right now is not the one who has abandoned me since I was a baby. But the guilty person is the one who separates a child from his mother. Papa, he's the one I never thought would prefer property over his wife and son.

"Mommy," I said, ahh did I just call the woman in front of me mother?.

"Yes this is Mommy son," she replied still with tears flowing.

"I'm sorry Mommy wasn't there for you."

"Sorry son, sorry."

No, he's not the one who should apologize. Nope.

"It's not your fault" I said softly, bringing him into the deck. This time I hugged her so tightly, I really missed the embrace of a mother who I had never thought to look for. Even I just found out from Ziro that Papa Aryo is my real father, as far as I know Papa Aryo and Mama Indira adopted me from the orphanage since infancy. Because that's what they told me, until one day they made Ziro hate me just for love. And it was I who came out of Aryo's golden cage.

"I miss Mom!."

The Zehn POV End

🌹🌹🌹

A day full of surprises for Zehn. It was unexpected that he would meet his mother and brother right on the day of Tara's birthday. He should have given a surprise this morning for the girl at school, but because of this incident he had to skip school. Until the surprise ends at night.

Even on this same day, his happiness increased many times because he was near Tara. A beautiful night for two people who are drunk with romance. Tara's beautiful smile, Tara's last laugh, Tara's embarrassed face, as if hypnotizing Zehn in an instant. Makes her forget what happened this morning.

But why is the fear of losing Tara now suddenly enveloped his heart? The anxiety came back, thinking about his life flow during this enigmatic.

"I'm sleepy Tar."

"Sleep first, but not for long."

"Why?," asked Zehn to reopen his heavy core eyelids.

"Fear I was alone here? You're sleeping."

"She slept here."

"What the hell is not clear," Tara replied grunting quietly.

Zehn let out a rough sigh, his mind and heart were now restless. Do not know because of what, to his growing worry never saw the face of Tara.

"Tar, I'm tired."

Tired of a universe that gives too many surprises. Tired of a life that feels empty, if only the girl who is now near him does not come, even if only for a moment.

"What a shame, because of the surprise all day?."

"Hhmm," Zehn replied that was out of sync with his heart as well as his current state of mind.

Not tired of his physical activities, but tired of his mind and mind. Tired of the destiny of the universe.

"The client went home, but didn't know what the real house was."

Yes, Zehn wants to go home really can make it comfortable, and can give happiness intact. But he did not know now which house would give that beauty 

"Go home Om Aryo aja Zehn, don't go to the apartment-."

"Kasian aunt Indira, she really wants you to go home."

"Hmm, home? I don't know," Zehn replied interspersed with a ruckus that felt heartbreaking Tara. Did he speak wrong?

A home? Which house? Would a home for Zehn right now be able to make his injuries improve? Since he left home, Zehn no longer considers what a house means. For him the house is just a hell in his life at this time.

Zehn sat down to face Tara, holding her hands together. "I can hope for you, Tar?."

"Be..wish what?" nervously Tara raised one eyebrow. Zehn's hand was extremely cold with a serious look piercing his neutrality.

"Hopefully, never leave me whatever it is. As bad as it was, the reality was short, perhaps even more painful," word for word just popped out of Zehn's mouth. The serious look now turned into a sad look. It was as if Zehn was the most fragile in the absence of Tara at this time and until that time.

Yes, because only Tara is the only one Zehn can trust to keep his heart. Afraid, afraid that one day Tara will leave her.

"Ka..kamu ngo..by the way what the hell?."

"Jawab Tar!-."

"Yes, I also don't want to be away from you Zehn," replied Tara as she wrapped her hands around Zehn's stomach. Clutching the guy's body very tightly, reluctant to take off. Hoping for time to pause, let the two fall asleep in the embrace.

"I'm lucky to meet you, Baby Ra."

"I too, feel most fortunate to know a figure like you Zehn."

A short night for Zehn. But it was also a very beautiful night for the two young men. He could not deny it, that his heart was beating fast when the lips were really he could reach.

Zehn smiled obliquely looking at Tara's face reddened by her actions.

"Thank you for the first kiss, Baby Ra."

"His silence and lips have been mine for as long as He has."

"Love you, See you Tara Him Zehn!."

Zehn was very content to prank the girl, without waiting for a reply from Tara who was still frozen, Zehn stuck gas splitting the darkness of the night that felt silent.

Drop by drop of water soaked the jacket the man was wearing. Without a care he still rained his motorbike splitting the water stub that was getting faster.

CEETAAARRR

The lightning flash also highlights the lamp from the left to make him surprised to slam the steering wheel to the right. But ill-fated when the light beam highlighted it from the front.

One in Zehn's current mind, there was only the face and name of the girl. Tara's.

The loud thump broke the sound of such heavy rain. Even the sound of broken glass sounded terrible. His body was so far from the motorbike, the helmet worn had been thrown out of nowhere. His body passed through the car that had just hit his motor from the front.

It was as if the incident he had just passed with his girl was back spinning like a broken cassette. Although his body continued to roll with the rest of his consciousness.

Blood kept coming out of his head as well as his nose. The hysterical screams of some people around him could still be heard. His body feels dead now.

"North.amma.sorry..."

🌹🌹🌹

This is where the two twin brothers are, a room filled with medical devices. His body was filled with life support tools, it was sad to see the figure in front of him. Zweit, Zehn's twin brother could only remain silent with all the worries that enveloped his heart. No, he didn't want to see his brother like this. The tears came back to see Zehn still tenaciously writing a few words. In fact, his own condition is already very bad.

"Ja.jangan nangis Zweit," said Zehn lirih. His hands still continued to dance on the paper which somehow looked like writing.

Zehn forces the doctor to give her a minute so she can say something, something for Tara. Even though his body felt very sick, his body felt dead, he was only short of time before all the words he wanted to say flew high with him, before the word reached the owner of the heart.

"Don't be forced" said Zweit, his voice sounding purau. Zehn smiled, still trying to move his hand.

"Ja.jaga Tara ma'am.make me Zweit..."

"....Ma'am.make in.he ja..falling in love with lo."

Zweit looked up so that the liquid would no longer drop. He was silent, his voice seemed to be stuck in the throat.

"Ja.janji lo ba.bakal take care of him.ja.don't tell se.before he.ta.know yourself.."

Zweit nodded weakly.

"Yes, you have to operate" said Zweit weakly.

"Lo ka..kasih this letter to.dia," said Zehn handed a piece of paper with his hands begetar.

Zweit rubbed his face rough. "Lo has to hold on, Zehn!."

Zehn reviewed the smile, staring in the bead of his twin brother he had just met. "Sa..one more.."

"What else is Zehn!? You have to have surgery now!," Zweit yelled in frustration. Look at this stubborn brother, who at a very thin time can still deliver strange messages that cannot enter his brain.

"Ka.if I don't ba.wake up again-.'

"Love gin.jal I ma'am.make Saniya," continued Zehn laboriously. The breath feels heavy, the air supply around as slowly exhausted. His chest also felt very heavy, but his eyes were trying not to close at this moment.

Zweit again just nodded, unable to say a word. Seeing the face that had looked fine, now it looks very heartbreaking. Very pale, plus the jacket worn has changed to red.

"I'm sorry we have to have surgery now!" the doctor and several nurses said.

Zehn smiled at Zweit before those eyes slowly closed perfectly. "Lo strong, Zehn."

The operating light flashed, some nurses and Doctors started to get busy with their duties. Zweit paced back and forth with a feeling of uneasiness. An hour had passed, the operating light was still green.

"The doctor's heart rate dropped dramatically" said one of the nurses.

"Get me a heart booster!."

The situation grew more panicked when three times the heart drive pulled Zehn's chest that did not improve.

A drop of liquid managed to get out of the corner of Zehn's eyes along with the loud sound of the monitor as well as a straight line on a square screen.

Ttiiitttttt

The medical staff breathed a sigh. His gaze looks sad accompanied by a thin smile releasing the departure of patients that they cannot help.

Stop over.

Stop already beating that heart. Maybe he was tired of facing the world, tired of everything that happened.

"April 25, 2021 at twenty-three minutes and fifteen minutes, the patient is declared dead."

A faint smile adorned his extremely pale face, the corner of his eyes still looked wet. Finished the story of his life. Although the universe never gave him time to feel what life could mean. Although, the universe has brought a girl whom he loves very much.
