As Strong as the Mentari, as Soft as the Moon

Episode 93's. Brother Keanu?

Twilight. The color of the violet adorns the skyline. The color was so seductive that my eyes could not see him for a second. I also saw a flock of birds crossing the sky preparing to go home to the nest. His head was so rhythmically following the leading bird. I'm sure it's the herd's zaim.

Ah, birds alone have zaims. Why me alone? I'm ingrained. My lips break the smile. While my mind wanders far away. Where not...

Then my mind wandered. Greet the Bayu while leaving a smile and longing greetings for a man who is far away there. Somewhere that I myself cannot penetrate. Not even his shadow was I able to catch him.

"My man, how are you?

***You know...Thinking about you every second, minute, hour, day, is the cure for my illness. My illness is because I miss you.

You knew...?

I did three things today: miss you, miss you, and miss you.

Yeah, I missed you. A little too much, a little too often, and a little more every day.

My men...

I hope you miss me like I miss you***."

Again through the baby I swung my mind trying to figure out how to find you. Even if it's just your shadow, I'll make me smile and happy.

It's getting used to it when Keanu's brother is far away. But this time it felt very different. There are worries that tickle the tip of my heart. Especially now that I know another profession from Brother Keanu. Ah, my heart is really overwhelmed with misgivings.

One week has since Keanu's departure fulfilled his duties. From that moment on longing and misgivings alternately tickled the tip of my heart. Instead of wanting to find out, I called her phone. But all that is nil. Not one call of mine bears sweet fruit, all just a void. I tried to share my race with Brother Noah, but it was the same. Set three money. Finding the situation no doubt my soul languished. My mind wanders. And the boat in my heart no longer swayed violently as usual because of its absence.

Drrt...Drrt...Drrt...

Cellphone fluoresces. A series of numbers are on the screen. I frowned staring at the phone screen that was still glowing. I was really reluctant to take the call, especially from a number I didn't know. But somehow there is an urge in the heart, so that I immediately accept it. "Ah, pseudo feeling. A picture of my longing" I murmured. I threw my cell phone on the couch. And let it sink without a master. But once again my eyes looked at the luminescence of my phone screen. And once again the urge again tickled the tip of my heart. Then finally, I grabbed him and opened the conversation.

"Hello... Assalamu'alaikum?" I said a little doubt. "Wa'alaikumussalam.."a voice on the other end of the phone.

Deg.

"My parents are unequaled, baby. I tied my miss to Bayu. Hoping to deliver to a lover who is now far unreachable" he said which actually makes me sob. I know why I behave that way. "Don't cry, baby. Your crying will weigh on my steps. Just pray for me, so that I can finish this task as soon as possible" he half-whispered. And not to mention I chimed in he said. Brother Keanu has ended our conversation.

"Take care of yourself, baby. I love you.." so he said just before closing the conversation.

Tut's...Tut's...Tut's...

The phone also dimmed. The founder I can no longer see. "Ah, brother Keanu. My kangen has not been cured, brother has passed.." I grumbled.

I was still staring at the sky that was beginning to be left behind by the sun. A habit of me and brother Keanu that continues. The sky color is getting thicker. Only the street lights give their own color.

Then my eyes turned to a neatly arranged flower bed. Not tired of me circling the entire park as my mind wanders back with the baby's breath. Until one day I stopped the adventure. My daydream became bland as my eyes caught the brightness of the shadows in the corner of the garden.

My eyes immediately circled the entire garden. And once again I caught a shadow that flashed rapidly. There was a suspicious whisper approaching. Then my steps quickly went down the stairs. I tried to catch the shadow. Grateful step deeper in my control for some time undergoing therapy with Faaz. His cold hands were able to make me make peace with the pain on both my legs.

"Thank you, Brother Faaz.." I said in my gratitude at the speed of my steps.

Until in the garden where the shadow was seen, I stared at a man. I'm sure it is. In the garden lamp he stood his back to me. A moment ago the fragrance from his body tickled the tip of my senses. Such a distinctive aroma. I almost cheered when I said her name.

"Sister Keanu." I said confidently. "Don't cry, Fara. You'll never be alone. I'm always with you. From a distance I will keep you until I finish my job. I love you." said Brother Keanu just before passing by. His body so lightly jumped over the high fence of the house. And disappeared into the thick of the night that continued to crawl without hesitation.

I still stand stupefied. There are no words that I have revealed. His presence is so short it just makes my kangen taste more and more bloated. I breathe, then close my eyes. I tried to put a look at Keanu's handsome face back in my mind. Playing for a while with a smell of masculine which always makes the boat in my heart shake in the waves of passion.

"Mrs.." said a man who immediately broke my daydream. "The lady's okay?" ask again. He is Satria's brother. "How will I be fine, when I know my husband's condition now" I said as I stepped up. "I mean madam...? Has the young master gone home?" ask again. "Just for a second. Just now.." said me with the steps that diekori kak Satria.

"Ah, don't joke Madam. The young master is on a distant duty. And I just got a call from the young master" said Mr. Satru.

Deg.

Time again seems to stop. Likewise with my steps that immediately stopped. "Satria, don't joke. I'm sure Keanu's brother just met me. Even he told me" I started to get nervous and messed up. While I saw Brother Satria also looks wry when getting information from me. The steps until stopped. And brother Satria looked at me. At the end of his gaze seemed a deep worry.

"Son Keanu.." I said softly as I continued.
