AFTER YOU GO ~Story About Farrel~

IT'S COINCIDENCE?

Farrel wriggled from his sleep, slowly opening his eyes. When Farrel woke up and sat down, he rubbed his face. Oh he could have fallen asleep here. Farrel looked at the wall clock stuck on the clockwork wall showing the number five over forty-five minutes. Farrel was surprised that he slept for almost three hours there.

"Wake up, son?" Mr. Subagyo who just came down from the top floor approached Farrel who was still returning his consciousness on the sofa.

"I'm sorry I overslept" said Farrel.

"It's okay, Papa understands you must be very tired. Take a shower in Fahira's room! In a moment, Magrib, we have to get ready to go to the mosque."

Mr. Subagyo invites Farrel to follow him, of course, the goal is Fahira's room. Mr. Subagyo knocked on the room many times but the owner of the room did not open the door.

"Fahira, open the door! Farrel's gonna take a shower." Mr. Subagyo shouted. But Fahira still did not open the door to his room.

"Already sir, let me take a shower in the other bathroom."

Mr. Subagyo felt bad about Fahira's behavior and finally let Farrel take a bath in the bathroom downstairs. Mr. Subagyo gave a change of clothes to Farrel in the form of a white T-shirt and also his jogger pants.

Farrel who is fresh is now invited by Pak Subagyo to eat first while waiting for the time to pray magrib. They were only two at the dinner table, Fahira refused to go down and chose to lock himself up while waiting for the right time to hit Farrel.

After the adzan magrib, Pak Subagyo with Farrel went to the mosque. They want to do the prayer.

"Oh yes, son. He said there would be a study after the magrib prayer in the mosque. It's up to Farrel to come or not." Mr. Subagyo said to Farrel as he walked towards the mosque.

"Oh, who was the meeting father? I'll come with you, sir."

Mr. Subagyo stopped his steps, Farrel who walked first then turned to look at Mr. Subagyo in surprise.

"You better call me Papa. You've become my son."

Farrel smiled then nodded making Mr. Subagyo's face beaming back. Really Mr. Subagyo is very happy at this time at least his son returned to two like twenty years ago.

The study lasted until the time of the issue arrived, the meeting ended with congregational prayer. When returning from the mosque Farrel and Pak Subagyo many cross paths with the neighbors. It was Mr. Subagyo's chance to introduce Farrel as his son-in-law.

"Oh this is the person who has destroyed the future of the Father's son, If I become the Father mendingan enter him into prison rather than make him a ghost." One of the neighbors apparently thought something wrong. Mr. Subagyo tried to explain it but the neighbor just passed by while sneering from behind.

Farrel who saw his in-laws upset then invited him to go home immediately.

Arriving at home, Mr. Subagyo again invited Farrel to Fahira's room. After knocking on the door more than four times Fahira finally shouted from inside.

"Not locked in!"

Mr. Subagyo smiled and looked at Farrel, "come in, son! You'd better get to know each other."

Then Mr. Subagyo passed leaving Farrel who was still fixated for a while in front of the door.

For now Farrel suddenly remembered Sofia, even though his body was no longer there but Farrel felt that he had betrayed her. Farrel could not remove Sofia's shadow from his mind.

I don't have the feeling to love anyone but you, Sof. But I will try to love him as much as I can.

Farrel knocked again on the door and turned the knob open while greeting. Farrel saw Fahira standing on her back while folding both her hands over her stomach.

"Dare to enter here too. You know not how bad you know this. Utilizing people's weaknesses is only for personal gain."

"I just can't bear to see Papa cry."

"Who are you?" Fahira shouted and then turned his body.

When Farrel was surprised instead of playing, he retreated his steps backwards. He shook his head faintly then hurriedly opened the door then exited leaving Fahira who was currently gawking in disbelief.

Huh huh?

Farrel who was still surprised down the stairs with a broken heart.

Did he see wrong?

Farrel walked towards the glass door that led directly to the swimming pool behind the house. In the silence of the night Farrel tried to calm himself.

She's she?

Mr Subagyo?

"Hanoon?"

The three names revolved around him, Farrel stood up thinking was this a coincidence?

Ah Farrel's mind is really upset. How could there be two people so similar in this world unless they were twins.

The twins?

Suddenly Farrel remembered the words of Mr. Subagyo who said that Fahira had a twin brother.

Oh could?

When Farrel was still at war with his mind suddenly Pak Subagyo was behind him.

"Why is it here, son? Did Fahira kick you out?"

Farrel who was still surprised was made even more surprised by Mr. Subagyo, he turned to the man who began to enter the age of twilight.

Should he say it?

But what if it wasn't?

Ah Farrell is confused.

"What's up, son?" ask Mr. Subagyo. He started to worry because he saw Farrel's pale face.

"Sa-me ... Um." Farrel cleared his throat to dispel his shock.

"Did Fahira say anything? Let me meet him." Mr. Subagyo prepared to go to Fahira's room but Farrel immediately restrained him.

"There's something else, Pa."

Mr. Subagyo looked back at Farrel, Farrel invited Mr. Subagyo to sit in the chair there.

"What else, son?" ask Mr. Subagyo curious.

Farrel set his breath to start the conversation.

"Papa once said that Fahira had twins."

Mr. Subagyo nodded and the old wound opened again, how he was negligent to look after his son at that time.

"Rubber, Son. Fahira and his brother are separated because of me. At that time, Papa's company was on its way to success. Papa's having a company party and Papa's taking Papa's two children there." Mr. Subagyo glanced deep into his past.

"Papa was busy talking to company colleagues. To forget the two children. After the show was over, Papa realized that they did not exist. Half-dead Papa searches for them until finally Papa finds Fahira crying alone on the side of the road. Only Fahira, while his brother disappeared since then. Papa is devastated and almost madly made Papa has reneged on Papa's promise to their late mother to take care of Fahira and his brother. Papa couldn't forgive himself until now. Papa misses him a lot."

Mr. Subagyo rubbed his cheeks because the tears just melted.
