"Heykal!" greet Rafan with a soft voice.
Haykal turned his head, seeing Rafan standing not far from him. A friend who was once his sister-in-law. Stand up gallantly in a white medical suit. A friend who was hurt by his decision. But never once did I blame or ask why. The two stood for a long time, not how long were Rafan's footsteps heard. The sound of knocking his shoes, rhyming sound accompanied the heartbeat of Haykal. His relationship with Kanaya has ended, the big decision he ever made. It ends with a word she never imagined.
Buuughh
"Why dream? You are angry or upset with me. Until you are not willing to greet me. I'm the same Rafan, the friend who once shared a bed with you!" rafan said, shortly after patting Haykal on the shoulder. As Haykal looked up, Rafan's slow clap felt so loud. When Haykal dissolved in his reverie.
"Hmmm!" haykal said hesitantly, as he came to his senses from his daydream.
"Yes I'm Rafan, not a ghost!" rafan said teasingly, warming up the cold atmosphere between himself and Haykal.
Rafan realized the reason for Haykal's attitude. The real awkwardness and guilt do not need to exist. Rafan never blamed or questioned the reason for Haykal's decision. Instead, Rafan believes, there is a big reason that makes Haykal decide to end his relationship with Kanaya. Kanaya may be her younger sister, but Haykal is a friend who understands her. A friendship made with the heart. It will be as strong as the relationship made by blood. Rafan will always protect and ensure the happiness of Kanaya. Instead, Rafan will always believe in the decisions and thoughts of his best friend Haykal.
"Sorry!"
"For!" sahut Rafan, with a flat voice. As if Rafan did not understand the meaning of the word sorry that was spoken from Haykal's lips.
"The pain of Kanaya, your real sister and the woman who matters in my life!"
"There's no need to apologize, Kanaya's pain is not a mistake. Sometimes people appreciate happiness. When he understood the true meaning of pain. Just like them, will appreciate being healthy when now sick!" rafan said, pointing at people who are sick.
Haykal bowed lethargic, mixed feelings. The word talak that was spoken from his lips, became the most bitter and painful word in his life. Haykal has failed to become a husband. She releases the love of the woman that makes her understand the meaning of life. Kanaya, the only woman who makes him so happy and hurt. A heart dilemma that no one can ever understand? Including himself, because separation is not something he wants.
"Why Rafan? Why?" haykal said, shaking his head slowly. Rafan patted Haykal's shoulder gently. Calm the heartbreak of his beloved friend. Long before Haykal became his sister-in-law. Rafan has considered Haykal to be a sibling.
Rafan embraces Haykal's fragile body. Rafan led Haykal, walking slowly towards his room. Haykal bowed, there was no wise twinkle in his two eyeballs. The light of success dimmed along with the lamp of his heart that was extinguished. The lamp of love that Kanaya put out slowly but painfully.
"Sit down, drink this soda!" rafan said, Haykal shook his head weakly. Shift off a bottle of soda that Rafan gave her. Rafan smiled wryly, seeing Haykal's rejection. Rafan immediately stood up, asking one of the sisters to make a cup of coffee without sugar. Rafan took a bottle of mineral water, then gave it to Haykal.
"Pacify yourself, white water can eliminate your thirst. But the thirst of your heart, only faith can remove it. Like Kanaya who seeks your love in her faith and prostration!" said Rafan calmly, Haykal looked up. His gaze was full of questions, astonished by Rafan's words.
"If you're honest, Kanaya never broke with your decision. Maybe she is fragile, but with the rest of her love and faith she is strong enough to face it all. Kanaya got up and became a better person. Like he promised you, he went to study not because he wanted to avoid your obligations. But Kanaya left, all for the sake of being a better wife. Now that you can see her, Kanaya is back to being a better woman!"
"You're right, he's getting better. Even so good, that I no longer deserve him. Kanaya is not a child anymore, she transformed into a mature woman with her wise thoughts. Kanaya was no longer a weak woman, she turned into a tough and tough woman. The freshness that resuscitates me, if my shoulders no longer deserve to be his back. It's a policy that says, if Kanaya is much more mature than me. The toughness that refused my shoulders to cry. Now all that's left of me is shame, there's no hope of one word!" said Haykal, then gulp down a bottle of mineral water given Rafan.
"Why do I feel you're so devastated by Kanaya's decision?"
"Not just crushed, I was standing with only weathered bones. There is no more energy left. Just one reason I'm standing tall!"
"Smile Zahra!" sahut Rafan, Haykal nodded slowly. Rafan looked at Haykal's nanar. Destruction completely destroyed and never realized by anyone?
"Why don't you explain the honest reason for your departure five years ago? Maybe Kanaya will change her mind. Explain also the status of Zahra, so that Kanaya believes you never betrayed her love!"
"Why?" sahut Rafan was astonished, Haykal shook his head weakly. Rafan smiled, Haykal continued to shake his head. Hope Rafan no longer discusses the reason for his departure. The big secret that was sealed up until now.
"Never, I'm gone and that's the truth. No reason can justify it!"
"Including the illness you are suffering from!"
"Rafan, you!" haykal said, with a look of disbelief. Realizing that Rafan has learned the secret that was kept close by him. Haykal stared and groaned, hoping that Rafan would never tell Kanaya.
"Steven told me. He called me, one year after you left. If you think Kanaya doesn't know it. I'm sorry Rafan, Kanaya knew everything and decided to stick with your wife status. After two years, when Zahra's mother died and you received a kidney transplant from her. Kanaya's outside the operating room. He came with me, became the only family to support you. We are near you, though you never notice. Kanaya never left you, she was in every fight. Even though you never realized Kanaya's presence!"
"No way!" said Haykal lirih, while shaking his head slowly. Rafan nodded, as if he convinced Haykal. That everything that Rafan said, is true.
"Haykal, all this time Kanaya lived in the same country as you. He was so close to you, but so far away from your gaze. If you may remember, the day you returned to this country? Kanaya was on the same flight as you and met you at the airport. It's just the fragility and weakness of your love, making you never feel the presence of Kanaya!"
"Rafan, I hope this is all a lie. You are not serious, Kanaya will not end our relationship. If he sees my pain, Kanaya will understand the reason for my departure!" haykal said out loud, Haykal does not believe in his hearing.
"Sorry, that's the truth. My little Kanaya never forgot her obligation to you. She became the best wife, in the worst times of her husband. He became a protector, in your weak hour. He becomes a reinforcement, when your fragile. The cries and screams that come from your lips. Reason and steadfast Kanaya clasped your hands. Tears that drip between tears when both eyes are closed. His little hands are wiping him!"
"Kanaya, the woman who was always in my dreams. Grasping my hand tightly, wiped my tears and calmed my pain. Why is Kanaya silent? Why is he leaving me now? Why did Kanaya cruelly dump me? Why Rafan? Why?" yelling Haykal hysterically, Rafan immediately ran to embrace Haykal's body. Asking Haykal to sit back. Soothing Haykal's anger that might interfere with Haykal's health.
Kreeeeekkkk
"Because my voice will only become weak and hopeless. Brother chose to leave, not wanting to see my pity. That's why I stay away, so that my brother does not regard my love and my worship as pity. I never left you, but a brother who never believed in our love. Our relationship is over, because the foundation of love is too fragile. It will not be able to sustain three souls at once!"
"Three souls!"
"Zahra is not your daughter, but her real mother's kidney is in you. Zahra is part of your life and she's half of your heart now. Supporting two hearts, our love is incapable. Especially with another heart. At least my sister is happy with Zahra. No more worries, no reason to keep your smile on!" sahut Kanaya, Haykal and Rafan immediately stood up. Kanaya hands over a file to Rafan. Kanaya twisted her body without saying anything else?
"But our lives are incomplete without your presence. Wouldn't you be willing to be my wife and the mother of Zahra my adopted daughter?" said Haykal, Kanaya was silent.
"Sorry, the responsibility is too big and my heart is still too small to bear it!"
"Maybe there's a chance?" haykal said, Kanaya looked down in silence.
"Sister Rafan, everything is ready. Mr. Haykal has been able to pass his full examination!" kanaya said, turning Haykal's question.
"Kanaya, answer!" yelled Haykal, Kanaya turned her head. The loving gaze was clearly visible in both of her beautiful eyes.
"Watching you makes me happy!" sahut Kanaya lirih, Haykal was fixated on hearing Kanaya's answer full of question marks.
