"Kahlf?" That name again.
Zack Shangra's calm rapture turned tense. He looked at Liz Nadiah with a frown and widened eyelids. The name had just spoken from the mouth of Liz Nadiah, who was still staring at him tearfully. Thus it means, Nadiah is the third person who thinks of him as Kahfi.
"But I'm not Kahfi" elak Zack Shangra. The man raised his body, moving two steps back. "I'm Zack, Zack Shangra!"
Liz Nadiah was dropped directly on the ceramic floor with a grayish wooden pattern under her feet after she heard the man's unacceptable pats. His heart was broken. I don't think he could be wrong. Although the dozen years did not meet, the face was still remembered very clearly. The face that always gave her a warm and protective smile, as well as the face that ended up hating her.
Liz Nadiah still kept an old picture in her purse, when she and Kahfi Albareeq posed together at a wedding of her father's relatives at the time. Only her mature face, body shape and hairstyle changed. Also his mini round glasses that no longer appear perched on his nose. The rest is nothing to deny.
He ... the man .. must be Kahfi! Kahfi Albareeq! Father-brother with him, said heart Liz Nadiah still brushed off the confession reassuring the man.
"Who exactly is Kahfi you mean?"
Liz Nadiah gasped, suddenly raising his face looking towards where Zack Shangra was standing. The man asked without looking at him. The face is straight towards the window blocked by dead glass without hinges at the end of the room. "Acci ...." His sentence stopped Liz Nadiah for a moment to scoop up the air that felt really stifling to him. "Acci ...."
Zack Shangra turned her body to look at him from a distance - still in his position. "Who? Who's Kahfi?!" It is a dashed patience.
The name really bothers him, since he took on the role of a fool as the man named Kahfi, in order to make it easier to bring Shinar without anyone's suspicion. But why is he stuck in his own game now? And the girl in front of him .. also mentioned the man's name just a moment ago, and addressed him as well.
The pointed chin with Liz Nadiah's sweet hemisphere was raised upright like a compass needle, oriented to Zack Shangra, his expression was still difficult to define. "Kahfi, Kahfi Albareeq .. He's my brother!" he assured. "Even though we were not born of the same womb. But we have blood from the same father."
An invisible fist had just struck the heart of Zack Shangra. The gaze with his wide eyeball swooped towards Liz Nadiah. His pair of legs slowly moved, shakily approaching the woman in white who was still sitting weakly on the edge of his bed. "Where is that guy named Kahfi now?" ask her in a slow tone, yet simply affirm her impatience. Highlight his eyes flashed full of piercing intimidation.
Liz Nadiah. Looking up at the pale, handsome man who belonged to Zack Shangra who loomed in front of him. Those eyes ... that look .. I'm sure I'm not wrong. The gaze he saw the last time when they spoke twelve years ago. The gaze that confirmed the hatred in the look in his eyes .. was exactly what he was seeing right now.
You're not my sister! You and your mother are thieves!
Liz Nadiah's shoulder shook violently. His crying broke down into the river. The short but striking sentence, again ringing in his ear. The words uttered the voice of teenage Kahfi Albareeq, after the funeral of their father-shada Yasin, were hateful.
Still not understood Liz Nadiah. Who would have had the heart to incite his brother to hate him, as well as his mother-Galuh Aisha at that time, until Kahfi considered him and his mother as life thieves and affection of his father. Though Kahfi is a loving figure who always carries him when the rain in their yard while laughing.
Change is too painful!
Kahfi Albareeq decided to stay in a boarding school, to avoid their togetherness. And Muana, the strong-hearted woman of her mother Kahfi-the first wife Shada Yasin, chose to leave the house with two bridal beds in it, because she thought it was better, not to hurt his favorite son. The house belongs to the Muana family. Galuh Aisyah is just a girl who was forced to marry Shada Yasin, because of a slander that spread in her village at that time over both of them.
The great power of faith, making Muana berapang heart receive Galuh Aisyah to be his honey. Until the birth of Liz Nadiah from Galuh's womb, complete their happiness, including Kahfi Albareeq who also rejoiced at getting a sister. But it didn't last long. The death of Shada Yasin became the beginning of chaos in their lives.
A whisper of the devil overturns the situation. Smelting their harmony. Kahfi Albareeq suddenly turned to fighting. I don't know because of what .. and who.
"Are you getting mute, Miss?!"
Liz Nadiah flinched, staring at Zack Shangra's face. It seemed like for quite a while he struggled with his heart and mind. "I-i ...." I don't know why his lips became so faint. The shadow of his childhood with Kahfi Albareeq, made his head turn chaotic. "I-i ...." His chest was getting tighter. She desperately wanted to hug the man - as her brother. But ... What if he's wrong?
The gaze of Zack Shangra's eagle was piercing. Responding to the residence of Liz Nadiah was enough to make him furious. "Go home."
Kahfi Albareeq or Zack Shangra?
But Liz Nadiah couldn't even move her lips to speak. His throat seemed to narrow without giving room for him to make a sound, even though his heart was quite confident about the man.
Slowly the balcony door closed. Swallowed Zack Shangra's body behind it. Liz Nadiah looked at him scarred, flooded with tears - even more so on herself.
The sound of the girl's cry being heard explained Zack Shangra from outside. Yang was currently leaning his back on the door leaf that had just separated the two. The head behind him docked to the blocker wood strands. His eyes were closed with irregular chest fireworks-full of turmoil.
Wh who? Who's Kahfi?
Why do they think he is Kahfi?
How did he get an answer about that?
He doesn't even remember anything about his childhood. Other than what Diraga Madewa had told him, when he asked; why was his life so awkward that he couldn't remember anything about himself before he was 16?
Diraga Madewa's reply at the time;
"You weren't born and raised in this country until you were 15. Papa brought you back here, because of something about work. But you were in a car accident when you went to school. It causes the loss of all memory in your head. Even you forget that I'm your father."
And Zack Shangra believes it.
He was still able to dismiss, when Shinar thought of him as Kahfi, because that included the achievement of success over his disguise at that time. But for some reason, when the name came out of Liz Nadiah's mouth earlier .. she felt a tremendous shiver she didn't understand at all, deep in the trough of her soul, clawed at her claws, painful.
Nah!
He returned with all his heart. Enforcing his body was self-assuring.
Kahfi is not himself.
Wasn't it!
It was Zack Shangra.
Stay Zack Shangra.
Aye! Zack Shangra's!
Until whenever.
It will stay that way.
