A Waiting (Letting Off Single)

Him, Dira

That whole day Rasya's mind was completely muddled. Dira's name so seized his brain. To end all his curiosity, he turned the steering wheel of his car towards the house of Om Dewa. He had not visited his parents' friends for a long time.

He drove his car at standard speed through a fairly crowded street at night.

Rasya let out a long sigh as he stopped his car in front of the house of Om Dewa. He came down and walked to the door of the house. It was still the same as before, only the color of the walls had changed.

Rasya knocked on the door. A few moments later the door of the house opened.

That face, that eye gaze, was completely the same as Dara.

Rasya choked for a while. He caught a look at each other with the girl who had just opened the door for him.

"Who, Ra?" ask the Lord as he walks closer.

"This, there...." Dira stopped his words, then he hurriedly went inside.

"Rasya, come in first. You haven't been here long?"

Rasya smiled then shook hands with Om Dewa then he entered and sat on the living room sofa.

"What's wrong?" ask the Gods. But a second later he could understand the intent of Rasya's gaze. "That's Dira. He's Dara's twin brother."

Sure, as expected. Because only twin sisters have exactly the same face as that. "Why has God never told you about this?"

Om the God took a deep breath before telling it. "Because of the baby, Dira has been adopted by her brother Karin because he does not have children. But after Karin's sister passed away a few months ago, Dira came back to live with us."

Rasya just fell silent. Why is it all so coincidental like this.

"What do you need to come here?"

"Actually I was very surprised when I saw CV Dira."

"CV? Oo, so Dira applied in your office."

"yes Om. He's accepted to be my secretary and can start work tomorrow."

"It's good that way" God nodded his head. "Oiya, how are your parents? Long time no see."

"Alhamdulillah, good Om." Rasya now smiles when he sees Dira coming out while carrying a cup of drinks for himself. "No need to bother," Rasya said even though his heart was a little flowery even though only made a cup of tea by Dira. Is it just because Dira's face is exactly the same as Dara's making the feeling that has withered will bloom again?

"Ra, this is Rasya, your boss. Already know?"

Dira was a little surprised. But a second later she smiled sweetly. "Well, what a coincidence, sir. Mr. Rasya already knows my family." Dira is now sitting next to his father.

Rasya was fixated for a while staring at that sweet smile. The exact same smile she had when she first met Dara.

"If it's out of business hours, you don't have to call Dad."

"Eh, hmm, yes Brother."

"This is Papa's best friend's son. Have you ever heard a story from Dara? Because Dara used to be close to Rasya." her papa's story is short.

Dira just fell silent then shook his head slowly.

"Yes, you guys talk first. Papa stay ya."

After his father left, Dira was caught up in awkwardness with Rasya.

Apparently this introvert boss had to start a conversation. "Where did you live before, Ra?"

"In Surabaya, Brother."

"So close to the house of the old God Om?"

"Lumayan far away Kak. But in the past Papa time in Surabaya, every holiday I still often stay at Papa's house."

Vacation, in Surabaya? Rasya slightly scrunched his forehead.

"I was also invited several times Papi to Surabaya to meet Om Dewa. We also had a vacation together. But at that time Om God was just the same as Dara."

Rasya just smiled blandly. "Yes, close. But... Oh, that's it, it's all over."

"Too? Is Rasya able to move on?"

Rasya smiled back. "Honestly, I haven't forgotten that tragic event. I feel guilty. I felt like I failed to take care of Dara at that time." A single breath sounded at the end of his sentence.

"Sister, this is all fate. Don't blame yourself."

They chatted until night. Dira's warm attitude has indeed been able to melt the frozen heart of Rasya little by little. He who is usually difficult to smile, actually made Dira smile many times.

Is this time fate on Rasya's side?

...***...

At exactly 09:00 p.m., Rasya arrived home. He went into his house which happened to be unlocked because his parents were still watching television in the living room.

"Rasya, tumben just came home. From where?" asked Papi Rizal who immediately stopped Rasya's steps while going up the stairs.

"From the house of God."

"God's House? Really tumben? What's up?"

Finally Rasya decided to sit next to his Papi. "Papi or Mami does she know that Dara has a twin sister?"

"Huh, twin brother?" Rili who just came down the stairs was surprised to hear Rasya's words.

"Mommy doesn't know that Dara's twins. Karin never told Mami."

Rili, who was curious, now sat next to her mother. "Sister Rasya halu time so kangennya same Dara."

"No! I'm not halu. So Dara's twin brother's name is Dira. He applied for a job as a secretary in my office."

"Wow, what a coincidence."

"Dira has been adopted by his older brother Aunt Karin. And only a few months ago he lived with his parents" Rasya continued.

The three of them who heard the story of Rasya ber oh ria while nodding their heads.

"Mad dong?" chirps Rili.

"Why art?"

"Yes seneng, there is a twin of Dara. Pepet only if still single," said Rili while standing and walking back up the stairs.

"What the hell. He's my secretary."

"What if it's the secretary, huh? No papa dong as long as no one has." Papi Rizal actually added the flame of the stove. "When you were a child, the God had aspirations to be your ex-child. Unfortunately, he is the same as you. Who knows, destiny wills. After Dara's loss, Dira appears."

Mami Lisa just smiled as she pinched her husband's arm. "Pi, like a proverb. Haven't you, it's up to them to walk."

"Loh, would Papi want to be a team of encouragement. If you want to decetin the chick should be sat set sat set, so."

"The what is Pi. I just met Dira. I'm going to go to the room." Rasya stood up and set his feet up the stairs to his room.

"Your son Pi, it's cold."

"Loh, Mami's son is that too."

"Yes, I hope Rasya gets his happiness soon."
