365 Days Towards Halal

121# 276HMH (Finding truth)

For three days, Queen locked herself in her room. A sense of loss and guilt let Tika go on her own without her, continuing to gnaw at Queen's heart. Actually it wasn't her fault. It's just, Queen continues to feel lost to make herself feel guilty.

Queen stared at the photo of herself along with Tika who was inside her laptop. Starting from the photos they are still teenagers, until they grow up. Added to their vacation photos to various places. Whether in the country, or abroad. Tika advises Queen a lot when something goes wrong with Queen. Also, with Queen always reminding Tika to be better, when Tika started to misstep.

They are like two different sides of a coin, but they are one body. Sure enough, losing Queen to Tika is like losing her own twin sister.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

There was a knock from outside Queen's room. He immediately wiped his tears that had been rolling from the corner of his eyes. Lazily, Queen moved to open the door of her room.

It appears that Mother Farah smiled at Queen with a tray of warm tea and some small meals neatly arranged in a transparent jar.

"May the Mother come in?"

"Please Bun" said Queen, opening the door to her room and closing it again when Mother was in her room.

"What are you again?" Ask Mommy while putting the tray she was carrying on the nightstand next to the Queen's bed.

"Nothing Bun," Queen said, closing her laptop. Queen knows, Mother does not like to see people who drag on in grief. So, he tried to hide the memory of Tika with a photo of her and Tika togetherness.

"You're still thinking about Tika?" Ask Mommy.

Queen was silent, she lowered her face deeply.

"Law, when we remember someone we love so much. But life has to keep going. Every human being will go home, no one is able to stop time, or delay death."

Queen raised her face with reddened eyes.

"Honey, Mother is also grieving. But maybe not as you feel. Because you and Tika are so close. You know the outside in her Tika, both her bad Tika and everything about Tika. This must be your heaviest loss. Only, the only way if you really love Tika, please explain her. He must be happy with God. Tika will definitely be happy to see you move on with life at your best. May, in the hereafter, you may return to be friends in God's heaven."

The Queen began to sob, without a word, she hugged Mother tightly.

"Here son, now, you are diligent in praying for himself and his fetus. Pray for them to be at peace with God. Pray for them to rest in peace."

"Yes Bun" said Queen who still sobbed.

"There is a meaning behind this incident. God let you lose, that you may cherish togetherness. God save you and give you a chance you can still gather with us here is a gift extended by God. Tika's accident wasn't your fault. But, it was enough of his journey in this world. Those of us who are alive should be thankful. Pray for the dead, pray for yourself and your family. In order to extend our age, extended the favor of our togetherness. Queen, you can definitely get through this. Don't lock yourself up anymore, take care of your suffering. Enduring suffering does not mean forgetting Tika just like that. But, more to be grateful to live the days back."

Mother rubbed gently the Queen's back. Who kept crying in his arms.

"I'm sorry, Queen Bun" Queen said in between her cries.

"It's okay, son, it's only natural that you cry today. Mommy hope, tomorrow you're better, yeah,"

"Yes Mother..."

...

Dad looked at Mother who had just returned from the Queen's room. His face looked tense and like he had a lot of thoughts. In his hand was a cell phone that he kept holding.

Mother sat down beside Father. Then, return my gaze carefully.

"What's the matter, Dad?"

I just shook my head in doubt.

"Unusually Dad is like this, what's up? Mommy noticed, since the incident of the accident Tika, Dad began to often stay silent," said Mommy.

Dad let out a long sigh, and put his reading glasses and his phone on the table. Then, he looked at Mommy carefully.

Arriving in the room, Dad sat down on the edge of the bed, while Mommy was still standing looking at Dad who looked agitated.

"What's wrong? Why do I have to talk in my room?" Ask Mother curious, while sitting next to Dad.

"Farah, I've seen CCTV on the highway where the accident hit Tika. Apparently, the accident was deliberately made that way."

Mother frowned and looked at Father with a look of disbelief.

"meaning?" Ask the mother with a serious-looking face.

"I deliberately invite you to talk about this in the room, so that no children will listen to our conversation. Let me handle all this. I don't think that person's target is Tika. It's just that, Tika was the impact." Bright Father.

"You mean?"

"Actually, Queen is the target. Only, they thought Tika was the Queen. So, this was a mistargeted accident. Meaning, the Queen is currently in a dangerous state. Therefore, I always send down aides to take care of all of you. There's a good thing Queen's still at home" Dad said.

Mother looked surprised, she still did not believe what Dad said to her.

"Queen is being targeted!"

"Yes, this is just my assumption, but believe Farah, my suspicions rarely miss. I suspect that our son is in the interest of someone who intends to harm him."

Mother was silent, her face began to fidget.

"Not to be afraid and anxious. You have to trust me. I'm helping the officer to investigate all this. Take it easy, as long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone harm you."

Mother took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

"But you're sure?" Ask Mother again.

"Still seventy percent. The car that caused the accident is being searched. Unfortunately, the car number was faked. So, the investigator found it a little difficult to meet him. While the owner of the original number of the vehicle does not feel guilty and the type of car he owned is different from the car that uses the number of his vehicle. It's obvious that there was a planned element in the accident. It's just, it's still a mystery, whether or not the real Queen is targeted." Bright Father.

"Oh God..." Mommy said while wiping her chest that felt tight.

"Maybe next time, I'll talk to the Queen. Whether he has enemies, or someone who doesn't like him. This problem should be removed. Not only because it concerns your safety, but also, the executors who caused Tika the accident must be revealed. It's justice for Tika too" Father said.

Mother nodded in understanding. Then, he hugged Dad with a face that looked sad.

"You also take care of yourself, baby, I am also afraid something will happen to you" said Mother.

Father kissed Mother's forehead and gently stroked Mother's hair that covered the forehead of his beloved wife.

"Just pray for me, God willing, I'll be fine" Father said.

Mother nodded and continued to hug Father tightly.

"I pray for you every step of the way, on duty or anywhere. I love you Andra."

"I love you, my wife. Let's find the truth about everything that happened. Pray for everything smoothly, so that we can live in peace. I won't feel calm, if things aren't clear yet" Father said.

Mommy takes her hug off Dad's body and looks at Dad with sad eyes.

"Do what is your belief. I'll keep supporting you,"

Dad smiled and hugged Mommy tightly.
