The sun slowly crawled up even though its shape was not visible, this morning felt not as beautiful as the previous morning. The sky was filled with dark clouds, the speck of rain still had not subsided, as if the sky was saddened by Lukman's departure.
Sheerin was accompanied by Nindi in the front row in the funeral procession Lukman. Throughout the procession, Sheerin unceasingly cried, saying his words of apology and regret. Undeniably, Nindi's heart felt slashed by thousands of sharp knives that hit his heart. Without realizing it, now Nindi joined in crying, the two women shed each other all the lara they felt.
While one by one the people who drove Lukman to his final resting began to say goodbye, but Bima still faithfully held the umbrella so that his wife was not exposed to the rain stubs that still fell. Not one bit he moved from where he was, behind Sheerin and Nindi.
This is one way to protect his wife. Although Nindi did not consider it to mean that seremeh.
As for Mama Anya, she had already gotten into the car, of course she did not want her clothes to get wet because of the rain. Maybe even now his car has sped away with Luis, then celebrated death with joy.
"We have to go home now, later you can come back here again after the situation calms down a bit." Bima started to roar back there.
"I still want to accompany you." Sheerin said in his voice.
"Yes, sister, give Sheerin a little more time." Nindi defended Sheerin, making Bima feel herself in the duakan number. Now, Nindi is more about bringing together women who look like her. It was not that Bima did not see the situation, just that her heart suddenly became selfish to want to have Nindi alone. Friends indeed, even Bima himself was not able to think with himself, why could this strange feeling lodge in his heart?
Alright, now Bima knows what things can lead the two women to come home with him.
"I got a message that your mother and Yuvi have arrived home. So, do you still want to stay here?" Ask Bima later.
"What's? Is Yuvi's mom home?" Sheerin repeated the word Bima.
"Yes." Yeah." Bima answered his alakadar.
"We have to go home now Nin!" Sheerin put a little distance between himself and Nindi.
"Wait a minute!" Nindi held Sheerin's hand so as not to move first.
"Why?" Sheerin asked confusedly.
"According to Loe, are you going to be mad at me?" Nindi asked back, a look of anxiety began to fill her face.
"Gue doesn't know either." Sheerin replied as if resigned.
"We just explain everything to your mother, God willing your mother will step in to forgive you." Bima Say.
"Yes already." Nindi Reply.
"Dad, Sheerin go home first. Sheerin promised to visit my dad here often, a quiet dad there. Sleep well." Sheerin spoke as he rubbed a gravestone bearing his father's name.
The three of them began to leave the cemetery. Sheerin and Nindi walked hand in hand, as if inseparable, leaving Bima who was walking alone behind.
Outside it seems that the man is ordinary, but deep at the bottom of his soul, Bima harbors feelings of envy, should now be he who is with Nindi, not even his twin.
Along the way to the house of the late Lukman, Sheerin never broke away from Nindi's arms, they sat in the back of Bima's car, making Bima feel like their personal driver.
Every now and then Bima glanced through the rearview mirror in front of her, Sheerin who was so spoiled to Nindi. He felt that he had a rival, he should have been in Sheerin's position now, spoiled for his wife, and yet, what did he get?
Meanwhile, the,
Mother and Yuvi look confused when they arrive at a house whose location Nindi sent through the WhatsApp application earlier. Yuvi had felt strange, is it possible that now they are being misaddressed? Because, this house is too luxurious for the lower middle class like them. And there is any business that Nindi had to go all the way to tell them to come there.
Yuvi and mother are seen standing in front of the main gate of the Lukman house while watching the situation around. A black umbrella becomes a protector for the mother to take shelter from the raindrop
Increasingly confused, several sets of condolence flowers lined up along the courtyard of the house, even the scent of flowers still smelled fresh in their sense of smell.
Thinking of leaving and returning to bring her home, a man in a college uniform came and rebuked them.
"Sorry, is this mother Nindi's mother and Nindi's sister Yuvi?" As soon as the security guard reprimanded.
Mother and Yuvi exchanged views, it turns out they are not being misaddressed, then, what business is Nindi with the owner of this large house?
"Yes, I'm Nindi's brother, where is Nindi now? He's not making a fuss in this house, is he?" Yuvi asked who was starting to worry about her sister. Not without reason Yuvi thinks like that, from the experience that has been, Nindi must be in trouble and ask for help to solve the problem.
Moreover, the last sister was saying goodbye and not clear where to go. Even until last night he did not come back, then in the morning he sent a message to come to this house immediately.
"Oh, no no." The security replied while shaking his head quickly.
"You guys just wait inside! Non Nindi is coming home soon." Said the security.
Wait-wait, this Yuvi is not being framed by someone, right? Could there be someone who called them Nindi to come here? But for what?
"Ahh, it's okay sir, we just wait here." If something unwanted happens, Yuvi can move quickly to take mom away, as soon as Yuvi thinks long.
"This again drizzle, later can runny nose. Non Sheerin also said that you guys have come to wait inside." Persuade the security.
"Who's Sheerin?" Ask the confused mother.
Tin... Tin...
Not yet the security replied, the horn sound of a car sounded, making the three people turn simultaneously.
Quickly mother and Yuvi shifted position to the edge, aware that they were blocking the entrance of the car.
However, the foreheads of the two shriveled as they looked at someone who had just got off the car and ran a little towards them.
"Mom!" Nindi screamed hysterically when she saw that the two closest people were now in front of her. To be honest, Nindi misses them a lot.
"Nindy!" Mother and Yuvi screamed at the same time. They gladly welcomed Nindi's embrace.
But Yuvi felt that something was awkward, Nindi hugged them possessively as if she had not seen each other for a long time. Didn't they just split last night? That long time was too short to say miss someone.
"Nindi is really kangen." Nindi spoke with her tone made spoiled.
Yuvi broke away from Nindi's confinement, then looked at her full of probes.
"Did you stay here all night? And what else do you do in this big house?" Ask Yuvi then.
"You're not in trouble, are you, son?" Mother stroked Nindi's hair, the warm touch that Nindi always longed for from a mother.
Nindi was speechless, she was also at a loss of her own having to start her confession out of nowhere.
"Mother, Brother Yuvi!" Another creature came out of the car, who else if not Sheerin, while Bima was waiting for the right time to introduce herself as her husband Nindi. Of course being Nindi's husband was the greatest title she ever held.
Suddenly mother and Yuvi turned towards Sheerin, even when they heard his voice, they already felt something strange, because the owner of the voice was not opening his mouth. They thought it was Nindi's voice.
The deg!
Instantly the umbrella that was in the hands of the mother slipped away. When their eyes met, it was as if the earth was not rotating on its axis. Or maybe even at this time the oxygen supply in the open room was lost suddenly. Mother and Yuvi felt the same confusion.
"Nindy!" Yuvi stared alternately at Nindi who was right in front of her and Sheerin who was less than five meters away. Of course with a furrowed eyebrow. Thinking if this was just a hallucination due to the night he could not sleep because he thought too much about his sister who had just learned a big secret in his life.
Ahh, yes! Yuvi must be just hallucinating, where maybe Nindi can split into two like this.
"Vi, Nindi, are there two?" Mother is no less shocked than Yuvi, she embraces Yuvi's arm, because otherwise, mother herself is sure if she will fall down.
"I don't know Mom either." Yuvi replied in a daze.
"So, among you, which one is Nindi?" After feeling himself being played, Mother then asked.
"We'll just talk about this inside." One more voice joined in this puzzling situation. The sound of Bima's sister who just got off her dating train.
***
"So, among you, which one is Nindi." Yuvi who was already itching immediately asked a question when she had just landed her butt on the chair.
"Your faces are so similar. Does this have anything to do with our conversation last night?" Ask Yuvi again.
"All right, ma'am. Here I want to admit one of the biggest mistakes I ever made." Sheerin spoke seriously. Everyone there is ready to listen.
"I want to apologize before because all this time I've been lying to Yuvi's mother and sister. But believe me Mom, I have absolutely no evil intentions for you. I just want to run away from the forced matchmaking my stepmom had planned." Sheerin took a breath.
"...he's the real Nindi, but for the last two months or so, I borrowed her position. Nindi was so kind as to help me who was in trouble. But..." Sheerin glanced at Nindi, coding for Nindi to continue the story.
Nindi understood, because during the journey to this house, they had already composed words to apologize to Yuvi's mother and sister.
"But I fell in love with the man Sheerin was going to marry. And now I've married her mom." Nindi Recognition.
"You kidding, kid?" Mother asked in disbelief.
"I beg you not to hate me, even though I know my actions are not easy to forgive."
"So, the one who overheard our conversation last night meant it wasn't Nindi?" Yuvi asked still
"What talk?" Ask Nindi who knows nothing.
"Talking that you're not your biological child." Sheerin answered.
Nindi gasped, Sheerin talked about it again. Nindi was really offended by him.
"Is that true, ma'am?" Nindi asked, hoping her mother would say no.
"I'm sorry, son, you weren't born from your mother's womb. But believe me, I love you just as much as I love Yuvi." Mother said while looking down inside. Although it was still puzzled which Nindi was the real one.
"What's? Why can mom? Mom's kidding me, right?" Nindi asked while grinning in disbelief.
"Mom didn't lie, son. Well, I'll tell you everything from the beginning."
He also started his story in the past. Telling back to Nindi what she had told Sheerin last night.
***
The sky this morning was not as bright as usual, the cold atmosphere was so piercing and penetrated into the skin.
Levin had just arrived at the parking lot, after properly parking his beloved motorbike, Levin rushed into the campus area. In the midst of cold weather like this, drinking hot coffee is probably the most appropriate choice, Levin himself had imagined how delicious the coffee was when it flowed in his throat.
After all, it was still too early in the morning, not many students had wandered around the campus. Surely there was still time for Levin to momentarily calm his mind.
Even though under his eyes there are two bags, Levin can easily hide them behind the sunglasses he wears.
Do not ask how Levin can get the eye bags, overnight after coming home from the funeral home and find the astonishing fact, Levin can not sleep in his sleep at all.
The shadow when Nindi admitted to deceiving herself kept ringing in her head. Disappointed, as Levin feels now. How could he be so stupid as to not be able to distinguish if the one who had been in a relationship without status with him was not the real Nindi.
He was angry, not at anyone, but at himself. Leaving the fake Nindi last night left a regret in her heart. However, it cannot be denied if he is already comfortable on the side of the fake Nindi. Her gentle demeanor and delicate touch of her hands were far inversely proportional to the rough and contemptuous Nindi.
Hah, Levin himself is still inexhaustible, how could he have liked the woman.
"Mom, gooday cappuccino one!" Levin yelled at the canteen mother shortly after sitting in one of the chairs.
"Ready boss!" As soon as the mother replied.
Levin rested his back on the back of the chair, not long after, the mother came while carrying an order.
"Thank you ma'am." The mother simply nodded then passed away, letting her customers enjoy the cup of coffee.
Levin again put the coffee cup after sipping it twice slowly.
His mind was still not separated from the fake Nindi. Without even listening to Sheerin's explanation, Levin just left him, putting a million disappointments in his mind.
Is this Levin's act too evil? What else so steadfast last night he left Sheerin who was fondling and tearful while begging him.
But, what does that woman care? This woman had never had any feelings for her. But with all his heart, Levin gave all his love to the fake Nindi.
Ahh, I don't know, Levin's head gets dizzy when he thinks all about that woman. Whether he immediately finished the coffee or not the coffee will turn cold.
He went back to sipping coffee which was left half of it.
Normally, Levin had always told fake Nindi under any circumstances, but now, he was too embarrassed to report his activities to Sheerin. She must not want to know anything about Levin anymore.
Sad to remember if Sheerin only played with his love all this time, ahh, Levin began to understand now, why the woman did not want to accept him as a lover, it turns out this is the reason. Sheerin never loved himself.
Hiks, Levin is crying in silence.
He did not want to be too long in his sadness, he decided to meet his rock friends and start mingling. Levin immediately moved on and was about to pay his coffee bill.
"How much mom?" Ask Levin.
"Just a cry, ordinary" replied the mother.
"okay." Levin reached into the back pocket of the jeans he was wearing, looking for the whereabouts of his wallet.
But he found nothing there.
'Oh, maybe in the bag.'
Levin began to look for it in his bag, but his wallet did not exist.
Holy hooch!
Did Levin forget to bring the wallet? It can be fatal.
"Mom, my wallet is missing." Levin.
The look on the mother's friendly face instantly turned sour.
"Oh, at best you. I already know your rich student model, it looks cool, but it's really bokek." Reply the mother with contorted lips, of course, she did not want to add to the list of students who often owe in her canteen.
Levin just gawked at the mother's words.
"This is what I pay for." A woman came and gave money to the mother of the canteen keeper.
"Ehh." Levin gasped at the sight of the woman, the same woman he had met the other day.
"Clarissa, forget it again, huh?" Asked the woman when she saw Levin who was shocked.
"Ahh, yes! Clarissa!"
Levin could hear an indistinct grin, wanting to feel like he was drowning his face in the deepest crust of the earth. Now the shame has multiplied many times, where is the value as a man?
Moreover, the mother will look at him with dislike, such as saying, 'cow kere, want in teraktir same girl.'
Wasn't that a big slap for her??
