Orange for the Sky

Who am I really, really?

"What if father's fear comes true, Orange. I don't know what I can do without you in my life" Alexander said.

That fear really haunted Alexander's mind. Until unconsciously the tears just shed again.

Once in the morning I woke up, both of my neutrals were staring at such a meaningful figure in my life. Who else if not dad. The man who became my first love. I love her very much.

My father is my life and death. Since I was a child, only my father has always been by my side. Although many say that father is cold and evil, but not with me. His burly hands were always able to wipe away the tears that used to often flow from both of my eyes. He was the first person who had always been my greatest source of strength.

This morning I saw something different from my father, unlike the days before. Dad cried. Seeing that made me look at her aging face.

"Well, why cry?"I asked as I continued to look at the father who had rubbed his eyes that looked wet.

"Dad's okay, baby. It's just that Dad was scared. I'm afraid that anything will happen to you" he said, gently rubbing my head. It was very obvious that my father loved me very much.

I looked into his eyes, It seems like you are hiding something from me right now. I don't know what you're really hiding, I don't know that.

"That's fine, Dad. Orange is not papa. Dad don't be sad anymore huh" I replied while wiping my father's tears.

Suddenly my father hugged me, Erat, very tightly. Even the hug felt different, What's the truth.

"Don't ever get out of my dad's life, honey. Whatever happens, the orange must be with dad forever. Because the Orange is the greatest treasure that you have, the Orange is the life and death of your father, the Orange of everything" he said, hugging my body tightly.

I returned his embrace, a hug that always felt warm and always able to make this peace of heart.

"Dad talk what? Orange is indeed a father's child, forever will always be a father's child. Father also lived and died Orange, Father everything. Father is the source of the power that Orange has" I said as I rubbed my back.

I don't know if there's anything wrong with what I'm saying, but for sure, Dad's getting his arms tightened and his crying's getting broken.

It made me even more curious, What exactly makes a father like that. Something happened while I was unconscious. It suddenly came to my mind.

Finally I decided to let dad cry while continuing to hug my body tightly."Come out for a minute, honey. I want to buy something for you" said the father, kissing the soft tip of my head.

I just nodded, I don't know what you really want to buy, but seeing that kind of behavior makes me wonder, What you're really hiding.

When Dad was out of my room, I accidentally saw a brown map. Curious, I finally took and opened the map. It turned out to be the data of someone who had donated his blood to me. Darwin Mahendra, not Alexander.

"Darwin Mahendra, why don't you give me his blood" I said as I watched the brown map.

"Oh yes. I don't know what your blood type is. Your blood type should be the same as mine, because you once said that your blood type was O. While I'm AB+, that means my blood type is like my father" I said again.

While I was busy with the map, suddenly there was a nurse who came and brought me breakfast. "Eating ya mbk, Let's get healthy and go home" he said kindly while smiling at me.

"Sus. Can I ask you something?" I said and made the nurse stop her footsteps. I saw his identification tag he's named Wulan.

"Yes, what do you want to ask?" saying slowly

"It's yesterday that donated blood to me why not dad, why someone else. Dad can't donate his blood" I asked

"Oh that. Yes mbk, Mr. Alexander is not able to donate his blood because his blood type is not compatible with mbk"

The deg!

Sister Wulan's words made me frown at my little forehead"Ah, don't joke around. How could my blood type be different from my father's" I replied with a chuckle.

"Yes mbk, Because of the blood type of Alex A sir, While mbk Orange AB+" he explained.

What a joke is this, am I dreaming? It's impossible if my blood type is different from my father's. If it's mom O's blood type, I should have the same blood type as you. But why did Sister Wulan say that my blood type with my father was different.

"The time is sus" said

"Yes mbk, Blood type sir Alex A, While mbk Orange AB+. So yesterday they had a panic when they did not find the same blood type as the orange mbk, Lucky there was a pack of Darwin who had blood in accordance with the blood mbk Orange" he explained.

"Once you go, thank you for the info" I replied with a wry smile. Sister Wulan's words reminded me of my father's words and father's different attitude this morning.

"If I'm dreaming, please wake me up from this silly dream immediately" I said as I pinched my two painful cheeks. That means it's not a dream, but reality.

"In the meantime, if my blood type is different from my father's and mother's, what that means is that I'm not their biological child" I said

I don't know why it suddenly crossed my mind. How could I not have the same blood type from one of my parents.

While I was still busy with my thoughts, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps walking towards me. That must be dad.

I watched my father who had just walked into my hospital room, His eyes still looked soft. This has something to do with blood type.

"It's honey, I bought you a kebab with toast. You eat yes baby, Dad hurt if you see you like this" he said while removing kebabs and also toast from the paperbags he brought.

These two foods have always been my favorite foods. Since I was a kid, when I was sick I would always buy me that food. But for this time my appetite was immediately lost when I remembered my blood type which was different from my father and mother.

"Actually who am I?" I asked directly to the point.

Hearing my question, the paperbag fell out of my father's hands. I could see clearly if Dad was very surprised by the question I just asked.
