Daffa opened his eyes slowly.
Sunlight came in through the curtains in his room. His head feels heavy.
Daffa fumbled the nightstand beside his bed. Looking for his watch.
After obtaining the object, Daffa squinted his eyes to see what time it was.
It's almost noon.
"God what I did" Daffa again condemned his stupidity.
Daffa's phone rang. It says Raka called him.
"Yes Ra, I'm still in the apartment" Daffa replied trying to endure his headache.
"Daf, your plane leaves at 2. I'm waiting at the airport" Raka said across the street.
"Alright I will be ready" Daffa replied languidly
"Hey, I left the medicine by your bed so that your headache would lessen. And you still owe me an explanation" Raka warned
"Yes yes, it's up to you" Daffa said annoyedly.
He immediately left the soft mattress.
Walking a little staggeringly, Daffa went to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water. His stomach is rumbling now because last night he missed dinner, and this morning he hasn't eaten anything.
Daffa opened the refrigerator.
There's soup and porridge.
Looks like Raka bought it for Daffa. Now Daffa feels grateful to have a friend as good as Raka.
Daffa heats soup for breakfast.
Do not forget Daffa took the medicine left by Raka.
After feeling better, Daffa rushed to take a shower and prepared to go to the airport.
*****
"So, what happened?" Raka started to wonder. All he knows is that Daffa hasn't touched a drink since last year.
But last night, Raka was really confused.
"I've found Nuna" Daffa replied briefly
"Good if so. Then what's your problem until you're so drunk?" Raka still doesn't understand.
"Nuna will be engaged to Daffi" Daffa replied flatly.
Raka immediately jumped from his seat, fortunately the seat belt was still coiled around his waist so that he did not make other passengers surprised.
The two friends were on a business trip abroad.
Daffa's schedule is a little busy this week. On the one hand Daffa was embarrassed but on the other hand Daffa was grateful because this way Daffa could momentarily forget Nuna.
"You didn't see it wrong, did you?" Raka is still trying to find a gap in hope that what Daffa says is just his delusion.
"I saw him sitting friendly with Daffi. They looked very happy" Daffa smiled wryly.
His heart is ashen as it is sliced open with paints
"But I was confused, how did Daffi get to meet Nuna?" Raka still guessing hell.
"Nuna is the son of a friend. So Nuna's mother and mother intended to match the two of them" Daffa's story was lethargic.
Raka was just a mangosteen mangosteen until finally a conclusion dropped by on his head
"Couldn't it be that Nuna thought Daffi was the one who helped her at the time? You two face the same" Raka guessed.
Daffa seemed enthusiastic
"You mean how?" Daffa is still a little confused actually. His brain is not very focused
"You never wanted to call your full name. Daff, Daff doang.natural Nuna confused.
Daff can be Daffa or Daffi. Eh he meets Daffi, same face. Yes, he thought Daffi who at that time did not help him." Raka drew the conclusion.
Daffa just scrunched his forehead.
"It's true that Nuna discussed it as Daffi shouldn't Daffi have denied it?" Daffa was still doubtful.
"There are two possibilities, Daffi lied or..." Raka did not continue saying. Give a little pause for fear of mispronunciation
"Or what?" Ask Daffa impatiently
Daffa did not understand
"Mami Salma took advantage of Daffi's memory loss. It could be that Salma's mom told Nuna that Daffi lost his memory after waking up from a coma. So Daffi did not remember the incident at that time" suddenly Raka's brain was as thin as that.
Her detective instincts seemed to be working well this time.
Almost everything Daffa says makes sense.
But Daffa was still weighing all the opinions and conclusions Daffa conveyed.
"But I don't think it's entirely my fault. Maybe you think Daffi was the one who helped Nuna. And Daffi forgot about it because of the accident." It sounds like Daffa is defending the mother.
"Heh, it still doesn't make sense. When you helped Nuna, obviously Daffi was still in a coma" Raka denied
"Yes, Nuna could not tell the time and details of the incident" Daffa still guessed.
For a moment both of them were silent, busy with their own thoughts.
The pilot announced a landing that would soon be made.
Daffa threw his gaze out the window of the plane. There are only white clouds there.
Maybe Raka was right, this was all his own fault which at that time did not want to be honest about his identity to Nuna.
Daffa really liked to judge Nuna at that time and deliberately did not reveal her full name.
Daffa did not expect this to happen.
It was all his fault. Nuna is misunderstanding now.
The two men left the airport and rushed to the hotel where they were staying.
Raka decided to invite Daffa to stop by the nearest restaurant because his stomach had been rumbling since earlier. Thinking about some of the conclusions just now seems to really drain the energy and mind of Raka.
Daffa according to Saka when Raka brought him into a restaurant. Daffa has no appetite this time. So he decided to order a cup of bitter coffee.
His life has been bitter and grim lately.
The glimmer of light that came with Nuna had also left before Daffa could feel it
"Bro, you still have a chance. Do not be so moody" said Raka trying to encourage.
In the heart of Raka really feel concerned about the path of his best friend's life.
"A chance?" Daffa snorted in despair. His chance had already evaporated away with the happiness of Daffi and Nuna.
"You can meet Nuna, explain to Nuna everything.
Bro, they're just getting engaged so there's still time to fix things up" a brilliant idea from Raka Aditya.
"Heh" Daffi smiled wryly, clucking in disbelief at the idea of his best friend.
"What's? My idea is good, right? After all, whether Daffi or Daffa who married Nuna were both the same as his son Mami Salma. So I thought there wouldn't be a problem" Raka grew proud of the idea she came up with.
Daffa really wants to laugh now.
His best friend really did not recognize his mother turned out.
Everything that belongs to Daffi will never belong to Daffa at any time.
Daffi is the golden boy, the beloved son of Mami.
And Daffa? Dissenters and trouble makers. That's what my mom always said.
Daffa just wants to live by principles and does not want to be a puppet to his mother. Daffa just wants to have his own life. Doing everything according to his heart's desire.
"What if Nuna really fell in love with Daffi and this had nothing to do with what happened that night?" Daffa drew his own conclusions.
Raka frowned at the mark of not understanding.
"I mean, when they were introduced, Nuna immediately fell in love with Daffi. It could be like that" Daffa explained.
Raka looks mangosteen mangosteen and has understood now.
The conclusion of Daffa is also true if you think.
"So, brother Diandra or Daffi couldn't have told Nuna that Daffi had a twin brother." Daffa.
"So, now what are you gonna do?" Tanya Raka was curious.
"I will only make sure that Daffi really loves Nuna and does not just play her feelings. Nuna deserves to be happy." Daffa said.
Now he can control his emotions.
Daffa only wanted Nuna to be happy even if it was with another man.
