Missing Scraps

29. The Eps 28

Zahra entered her room. He put his bag on his desk and laid his body on his bed. He kept thinking about Gilang's speech at the cafe this afternoon. Even when Gilang came home from work did not say anything, Gilang looked cold. Not as usual.

“What's the same as Gilang? Koq suddenly he changed. Is his memory recovered? But why was he so sad after his memory recovered?” muttered Zahra staring at the roof of her room.

Tok tok tok. the sound of knocking on the door of his room made Zahra turn.

“Log in!” exciting Zahra. Someone also entered his room.

“Cie who can already be alone again the same mas girlfriend.” Reza Ledek. Zahra snorted looking at her brother. He changed his sleeping position to sit.

“Apaan anyway.” Zahra said lethargic.

“why? Koq lethargic it.” Reza said astonished. Zahra just put her shoulder out.

“Call different koq ya?” ask Zahra suddenly. He looked at Reza who was looking at him in wonder.

“Beda? You said yourself Gilang amnesia.” Reza was astonished and sat down beside Zahra. I heard Zahra's heavy breathing.

“Well, let's get him amnesia. But..”

“That's it, maybe your feelings are just Ra's times. Waiting for my mom downstairs, the dinner is ready. I went down first yes.” Reza then left Zahra.

“Ya, I'll follow.” Zahra cried before Reza disappeared behind the door of her room.

Reza closed Zahra's room door. He breathed heavily. He looked back at the closed door.

“Sorry Ra, I can't tell you who it is.” Gumam Reza.

***

Two days after Zahra informed him that Gilang had returned, Reza was pleased. Finally, his best friend is fine. He decided to visit the house of Gilang, more precisely the house of Omanya.

“Assalamu’alaikum” greetings Reza while occasionally squeezing the bell. Not long after that the door opened.

“Wa’alaikumsalam. Reza Mas? Let's go in.” Welcome the aunt who knew Reza. He invited Reza to meet Gilang who was in the back garden.

“Mas Reza, he's there.” Appoint your aunt to someone sitting in a long chair with a book in her hand. Reza nodded and moved his feet closer.

“Lang?” greeting Reza as he stood beside his best friend, he turned his head and smiled faintly.

“Lo Reza?” abugn. Reza breathed a heavy sigh. It's true Gilang forgot his memory. He sat beside Gilang without being told to.

“Gue never heard the name Lo from my bokap. And from the girl.” He said, Reza looked astonished.

“Chick?” reza was confused.

“Zahra.” He did not look at Reza. Reza nodded. He glanced at the diary, one in Gilang's hands and two beside him sitting down. Reza took a diary named Reza. Frowning, he turned to the owner of the book before opening it, as the owner nodded, he began to open the book.

Reza occasionally smiled remembering his memories with Gilang while still in elementary school, there were even some curses of his frustration as Zahra continued to defend him from Gilang. Reza continued to open one by one the book, as if he was drifting in those memories.

“Rupanya Gilang has a friend who loves him. I salute your friendship.” He looked at Reza. Reza stopped reading the book and turned to look at her best friend.

“Gue have read all the books about Lo, maybe Lo also interest in reading books about me?” he then gave me one of those diaries. Reza accepted the book.

“Lo?” Reza was surprised to see the book. There's a Galang name there. Reza looked at him in disbelief.

“Gue told Lo, because it's just Lo who Gilang believed all along. And only Lo knows if I'm the same Gilang twins.” Added. Reza.

“So Lo liedin Zahra? Tell him about Lo amnesia?” reza's asking started to get emotional. He stood up from his seat. He turned his back on Galang. Heart rages.

“Gue won't lie to him. But I have promised the same I made a good nyimpen my identity before he who told himself the same Zahra.” Galang. He rubbed his face rough.

“The first time I met Zahra, Zahra my country with the name Gilang. Even when I asked 'you Zahra?’ he said, I forgot about him. From there I started planning this amnesia.” Added.

Frustrated, he went the wrong way. But he had already promised his brother Gilang. That he wouldn't tell anyone including Zahra that they were twins. Gilang who will tell him himself someday.

“Do not play with the feeling of Zahra.” Threat Reza. He turned his body to look at Galang. Galang just looked down at his two feet.

“What I have to do, Zahra also can not differ where the real Gilang which is not. He held my hand, even he also hug me, Zahra sure if I was Gilang without me telling.” His word.

“Ck, I hate to be the bad guy here.” decak Galang.

“Where is my best friend?” tanya Reza switched the conversation. He also did not know what to do if he was in the position of Galang.

“Since my family found him, he was taken to the hospital. He staggered unconscious for a while before he fell unconscious and ended up in a coma until now.” His word. Reza frowned in wonder.

“Hospital? But why do I find Gilang not in every hospital?” ask Reza astonished. Staring at him.

“That's because Gilang's identity was replaced with my identity.” His word. Reza understands now. So because of that, Reza could not see Gilang in the hospital.

“Gue please be with Lo, don't tell Zahra about all this. I'm sure it won't be long. Only until Gilang regains consciousness, I'll go.” His word.

Reza sighed, maybe just in this way, he could make Zahra happy. He doesn't know how Zahra would feel if he knew the truth.

***

Someone patted Reza on the shoulder until he turned his head. He was surprised to find Zahra beside him.

“Ngapain dumbfounded?” tanya Zahra brought a tray of snacks and orange juice.

“Ngga exists, just the office mind.” Reza smiled. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw Zahra nod. He looked at Zahra who was watching television. He did not have too long to hide everything from Zahra.

“Oh yes bang. Is it really? Nesya already wants to merried the same Australian because?” asked Zahra while chewing her snacks. Reza spread his shoulders, he also did not know too much about his half-sister.

“Papa's word is yes, just don't know when merried, no one knows who that guy is.” Reza. Zahra nodded in response.

“Why ask Nesya? Take it easy, he won't take Gilang koq from you. You are worried if Nesya likes Gilang?” reza said while teasing his sister. Zahra snorted and poked Reza with a pillow beside her.

“Iihh, that's not it. Kan he's also my brother Bang, so I care.” Zahra interrupted. He also still does not believe that Nesya and Gilang never had any relationship.

“OK if that's your reason.” Reza then took a snack from Zahra.

“Hayoo again on what's up? Exciting like?” her mother said from the direction of her room.

After dinner, Zahra and Reza would rather watch television with their mother.

“Ah ngga koq ma, was abis speaking mama, so beautiful today.” The timpal Zahra followed their laughter.
