Fazila Tipan From Heaven

Do I Know Him?

I arrived home with a yeri feeling on my right face, Opa was old but his strength was still strong to break his opponent's bones, understandably he retired Army who half his life spent to maintain the peace of the country. One naughty grandson like me would be easy for him to teach a lesson, but he chose to be quiet. I don't know what his colleagues said until the night of anger exploded, flooding our family with tears.

"Is mom still sad? I'm sure you're crying in her room, and then you'll be busy comforting her." I muttered while imagining Mama's smiling face.

Mom was so naive, sometimes she was like a child. Whining to papa to leave me alone, I just don't seem to care too much about the opinions of others, only Opa will start to get angry if his family's honor is on the verge of collapse.

I slowly walked towards the balcony, letting the night wind caress my irritated face. Hope this gust of wind brings all my fret. Cloudy shrouded the sky of the capital tonight, slowly drizzling began to descend greeting the earth.

"This guy is freer than I am." Smirked me while taking a deep breath and then exhaled it violently.

"If tomorrow I can still see the sun, I don't want my eyes to capture the shadow of the past's pain. God, I want to be happy for just a moment. Show me your way..." It felt like my tears wanted to spill, but opa's words felt like a wall of hers 'You're a boy, don't be whiny. Haya the weak man who will cry like a woman' That's all I hear from opa from childhood until I grow up.

An adult? Hhmmmmm! I'm not that mature to not feel pain anymore.

Dretit.Dret.Dreep.

The phone in my pocket shook, slowly I grabbed it with my left hand. 'Araf' his name was clearly plastered on the phone I was holding. I nodded before I received his call. I think I need a friend, at least it will lessen my frustration.

"Hi bro's. How are you?" Araf's voice came from the phone line I was holding. I'm a taxant, he's happy.

"I'm asking a stupid question, of course you're okay. After all what problems can make the best entrepreneurs of the Capital City grieve." Say Araf again. This time he laughed, I was happy to hear his laughter.

"Tell me, what makes this handsome doctor so happy?" I tried to be late and happy my friend, even though I was sad myself.

"You know, the woman I was telling you about? It turns out she was just a single mother. This afternoon I had a chance to talk to him, he was making koffe for me. She's very kind, and I'm very fascinated by her natural beauty." Said Araf while picturing the face of the woman he was talking about.

"Are you serious?" Ask Araf.

"Of course Alan, I'm very serious. I don't know which stupid man leaves a woman as good as Miss Fatimah. Even so I am very grateful." Araf explained.

Fatimah!

The cessss!

My heart beat faster to hear the name Araf mentioned, I was silent a thousand languages, there was a Magnet that I could not imagine contained in a name that is rarely used for modern girls today.

Fatima? Did I have a relationship in the past with the owner of that name? Aah no way, I've never been involved with the owner of that village name.

Fatima? What happened to the owner of the name? Do I know him? I muttered to myself in the midst of Araf's non-stop speech.

"I wish you'd come to this beautiful place, and if you could see it, I'm sure you'd fall in love with it right away. Especially her sweet daughter. Oo yes... I have a picture of the beautiful princess I told you about, I'll send it to you. Give my regards to Aunt Nani. Good night." Araf closes the call.

"Good night." I replied, but Araf had turned off his phone.

It turned out that Araf had really made his speech come true, a photo showing the smiling face of a little girl sitting down while enjoying ice cream. There was a great peace stored behind his faint smile.

May you always be happy, son! My love is in the dark, because I deliberately didn't turn on the lights in my room.

...***...

The sound of crying filled Mr. Otis's hearing, since two hours ago Nani always whined like a child who lost his favorite toy.

Seeing the look of frustrated face bu Nani makes Mr. Otis lost his mind, he really does not know what to comfort his wife in any other way.

"Papa knew mama was very sad, but even so papa asked her to stay strong." Say sir Otis while holding fingers bu Nani.

"This time papa is really outrageous! He shouldn't have forced Alan like that. Don't know what Alan's gonna think of us!" Reply to Nani.

"Alan's a smart kid. He could tell which was wrong and which was right. Mama doesn't have to worry about anything. Tomorrow meet him at his house, the boy's not going anywhere." Reply Mr. Otis while fixing a pillow for Ms. Nani so that his wife can tend her head.

Meanwhile in a different place, Araf was already preparing to go to sleep. He felt a tremendous drowsiness, repeatedly trying to sleep but many times also the shadow of the woman who missed her net as if dancing in his mind.

Hhmmm! Araf sighed, heavy. There was a strange feeling that disturbed his calmness, yet he did not know what made him feel uneasy.

"Tomorrow I must meet him! If I met him, what would I tell him?" Lirih Araf in the darkness of his room.

Together with the moonlight tonight I hope to have a new hope in a life full of surprises! Lirih Araf opened the window of his room. Like in a lightning strike, Araf was shocked beyond measure. A man standing right in front of his bedroom window, not only that the man with the body of a badminton athlete almost fell down on the window that Araf opened.

"Oohhhhhhhhhhh... Geez! What the hell are you doing there? Don't you have a room, then why are you standing in front of my window." Araf said annoyedly.

"I'm sorry if I surprised boss Araf." Said the man in black.

"I just want to get some fresh air." Reply to the man again.

"alright. I forgive you! Out of annoyance I never even noticed you properly. What's your name?" Araf asked because he really did not know the name of the new Bodyguard who was the same age as him.

"My name is Amri boss."

"Okay Amri, I honestly don't like bodyguards very much. Seeing you always wear black makes me uncomfortable. If you want to stay by my side the first thing you have to do is not wear black like the clothes you're wearing right now." Said Araf while pointing at Amri's clothes.

"Good boss." Reply Amri briefly.

"And one more thing, you can't call me boss if we're alone or with someone else. You just call me master." Araf explained.

"Okay sir, all the lord's orders will I obey."

"Take this, and buy new clothes." Said Araf while thrusting tens of pieces of money a hundred thousands.

"I can't accept this sir."

"I command you. And this is the first commandment."

"Alright if that's what you want." Amri said while taking the money in Araf's hands.

Hammu! Araf yawned while closing his mouth, Araf closed the window again leaving his personal bodyguard who was still sitting alone, he walked to his bed while reading the Verse of the Chair that Fazila taught him.
