After a long silence, Adel slumped his body on the floor with his head placed at the end of the bed, he cried sobbing.
"Adel...why are you crying son" said the mother sitting on the edge of the bed while rubbing Adel's head.
"Mother..why the world is still playing Adel.why mother"
"Why do you say so son"
"Mother.I was hoping it was Mika.. Mika I'm back, but why is it all just a dream..."
"Darling..had been son.relieved Mika's departure. And it's not just a dream either.. That's Mika's twin... "
Michael who was still standing looked at the crying Adel. He approached and sat beside the mother while his eyes did not blink looking at Adel's face.
"Why weep for someone who has gone, even if your tears are dry he will never be able to return, your heart will hurt even more because it continues to remember him" Michael said
Adel looked at Michael without a blink..
"You are Mika.. "
"Hi.why can't you tell me apart from Mika. Although our faces are very similar but as his wife who is always beside him should you be able to distinguish between me and Mika.. "
"Michael. you have to understand. She just lost Mika and now Adel is pregnant who should get more attention from her husband.. you can't say too loud with Adel"
"Mother.we must speak decisively.if we let her dissolve in sadness.she will never be able to accept the reality... precisely because she is pregnant again we must continue to remind her so that she does not
continue to grieve.it will affect the fetus. Leave me alone with him.. "
"Michael, but you promise not to add to his grief.. "
"Mother.I still have feelings. There's no way I'm making her sadder"
"Well son, but remember don't say too loud"
"Mother.believe me. Mother go first. He is also my brother-in-law"
Mother finally came out of Adel's room and let Michael talk to Adel, but the door was left open.
"Mother.I have something I can help you with" Daffa said, looking at Mother.
"Where her twin Mika was mother. "asked Citra sama mother.
"Thank you Daffa. Michael ya Citra. he's in Adel's room.want to chat with her"
"Oh. again in both Adel" Citra said deliberately let Daffa hear.
"Mother. pamit first. Want to accompany your mother who again prepares snacks for orphans later tonight"
"Well mother. "say Daffa and sit back on the floor carpeted in the living room.
In Adel's room, Michael drew her closer to Adel.
"Could accompany me to Mika's grave. "said Michael, but Adel did not answer, he was still silent with tears flowing.
"You're why weeping for the dead, you think Mika will hear you cry.You think if you cry it will make Mika happy to have a faithful wife who continues to cry over her disappearance"said Michael
"What do you want. Come out. I don't want to talk to you" Adel said and covered his face with his arms.
"You want it or not, I have to talk. Because I must realize that such a foolish woman as you are, you should remain vigorous and remain strong, because there is Mika's flesh blood in your womb. If you love Mika, you should have kept Mika's care. It will make Mika calm there"
"You'll never understand how I feel. What it's like to lose the person we love and love the most. I feel like I want to come along. "said Adel back crying.
"But you have to remember that it has become God's will, so if you do not accept reality you are against God's will and destiny."
"The doctor is not God.he can only predict.but everything comes back to God.. "
Adel grew sobbing with his cries. Michael took a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped Adel's tears.
"You may cry until tonight, but I ask that this be the last day you weep for Mika's departure. Tomorrow you have to live your life again.You have to take care of Mika's custody.I will also be angry if something happens with my prospective father"
Michael gave his wet handkerchief with tears to Adel's hand.
"I'm out again. cry out all your sorrows and tears today.Tomorrow you should be able to smile again, I'm sure you will look more beautiful if you smile.. "
Michael left Adel alone, and he came out of the room. He saw Daffa looking at Adel's room.
"You're her friend Adel or Mika. oh yeah introduce me Michael. "he said as he stretched out his hand.
"Daffa. I'm Mika and Adel's best friend... "
"Oh. So you know both of them well.. "
"Yes.. "
"That means you're also my best friend now"
"Of course. "say Daffa.
"This is who. "pointing Michael towards Citra.
"I'm Citra "
"Oh. You're engaged. means you want to get married"
"Yes.. pray we get married soon" Citra said.
The three of them were engaged in conversation with his exclaim. Michael was indeed a very friendly person so easily familiar.
The evening seemed busy and crowded at the mother's house. All the invitations have arrived. Prayer was read by Ustad.
Adel who heard Ustad reciting the prayer came out of the room, the guests who sat in front of his room on looking towards him.
He approached her and sat next to her. The guests whispered whispering.
After all the prayer recitation, and the series of events was over.
Adel was still sitting in his original place. Daffa came in and sat down in front of Adel.
"Adel.. "
"No Daf, I'm still full.. "
"You have indeed eaten.. I'll get ya.. "Daffa immediately stood up to take the rice and side dishes.
He sat down in front of Adel. Citra and Mama Adel have gone home, because there is a family event of his father.
"This. open your mouth" said Daffa, feeding her painstakingly until half the rice sheathed was devoured.
Michael had been watching Daffa and Adel.
"It seems that Daffa liked Adel.The way he looked and treated Adel."
