Tonight Alfi fell asleep hugging his guitar. He only wore knee-length pants without wearing a shirt. His mother and father kept an eye on him. They were very worried about Alfi because since the meeting of the village, Alfi only locked himself in his room. His father took his mother to the living room. He said something that made his wife smile.
"Tomorrow morning we'll take Alfi to a psychiatrist. But my mom didn't tell him that. Mama's persuading him tomorrow to come out with us."
"Sure sir! I'll do anything to make Alfi cheerful again."
"Tomorrow at 7 am we will go to the village of Momoki. There's a great doctor there. His name is Louhan."
"Did you make an appointment?"
"Ma already. Said we should come faster because the patients are a lot."
"Wah means he can dong pa heal Alfi."
"Goddessa ma. The train is at 7 a.m. So we have to hurry tomorrow ma."
"OK pa. Momoki's village is where Mr. Naoto is?"
"Yes ma. Yaudah let's go to sleep now."
"How's Shizuka Tan? I feel like what I saw wasn't Shizuka's brother. He looks different. Please tell me that my brother is fine tan."
"You have to be sure that he's going to be okay. Tomorrow Auntie will take him to a psychiatrist. Auntie's sure she'll recover."
"You know Dr Louhan? He has healed many patients who are depressed or disturbed. Even from the village and the city came to seek treatment for him," he said again as he closed the magazine he read.
"I hope the doctor can cure my brother."
"Mama, papa's home!"
"Nloto!" kejar Pertiwi's.
"Who is ma?" Naoto asked as he put some boxes of food on the table.
"The name is Zeexsa pa."
"What a good name. Hi Zeexsa's. Have you eaten?"
"It's been om" said Zeexsa.
"Let's go with papa to eat. I must have missed my mom's cooking."
"Very longing. Everywhere papa doesn't find the most delicious cuisine you've made."
Pertiwi and Naoto walked into the dining room.
"Happy Naoki has both good parents" Zeexsa smiled.
"Oh yeah, she's your niece?"
"Not pa. He and I met at the train station. And I kept bringing him here. He is not alone. There's his brother too. His name is Shizuka."
"Why did you bring them both here?"
"Oh pa! If you hear the story of your mother, you must be sad. Papa knew they were being gang-raped by the villagers. They were expelled for a mistake they did not commit. Her mother is dead and her father has been separated from her mother since she conceived Zeexsa."
"What a pity ma. Where is her brother now?"
"In the guest room."
"What the hell is ma?"
"They are the source of the problem. Shizuka is accused of being a night butterfly and her mother is accused of being a domestic destroyer. Residents were embarrassed and expelled them. They received punches, taunts, and their faces were littered with the ground. Keep their residences and stores taken or confiscated the same kades pa."
"What a weight of their tests. Papa hopes we can help them ma. Moreover, they have no family anymore. Has Shizuka eaten ma yet?"
"Not pa. He has never eaten since he was here. He said he wasn't hungry."
"Mama forced her to eat. How will he get sick?"
"No, neither would you. If you don't believe, try to be the same papa."

His gaze let out an innumerable pain that it had passed through even crashing into the great waves. The pillow was tightly hugged and hit his mouth. He also wrapped his body in a thick blanket. It is only emptiness that he feels. No more heard by him all the hate speech. Now only his ex perched on his body. There was no boredom or saturation for him to be in that room. His spirit has melted together the destruction of the dignity of his family. Sometimes he also speaks for himself questioning the whereabouts of his father. Dad is a shield to him. He continued to praise the meaning of a father in his life. Her spoiled laughter began to stop her tears. Slowly he imagined the figure of an angel who also left him. He again cried his voice that was no longer clear due to mixed cries.
"They say I'm a despicable woman ma'am, including mother," sobbed.
"Pa try to hear that Shizuka's voice. What the hell's going on? Let's wake up, pa. Hurry pa!"
"It's still one in the morning ma."
"Judah mama's going to her room!" Pertiwi went to the next room.
Shizuka continued to speak to herself. He was imagining his mother sitting next to him. He spoke without pause. How longing he had not seen his mother for years.
"Please, Mom. They just keep bothering me. Some say I'm poor, a liar, a night butterfly, some denounce mom and dad."
"I'm tired Mom" she said, closing her eyes and watching her mother gently caress her hair.
"God please make Shizuka cheerful and excited again!" Pertiwi said peeking out from the door of Shizuka's room that opened slightly.
The next morning Mina was getting ready to go with Yoman and Alfi. It has also awakened Alfi faster than usual. Alfi just as the days before remained lethargic. He forced Alfie to have breakfast immediately. Alfie didn't obey him. Yoman also made Alfi. Then pulled his hand into the car that had been parked in front of their house. Alfie was helplessly rebelling. He just silently stared at the road that passed by some people who were carrying cloths and also a bucket of fish.
"Where did Mr. Kades leave early in the morning?"
"You go to Momoki's village, Freddy."
"See if people are already working at this hour selling fish? Are we not late for this? It's almost seven in the morning."
"If seeking sustenance it must be early in the morning ma. Same with the treatment schedule. The doctor must not be in the clinic anymore" Yoman said.
"Ang? Brother since he came back from prison why was his face bent? Think what the hell?"
"Kok you look really relaxed Debi. Mom incarcerated. Please help me think. Brother is dizzy again," said Haikal entered his room by throwing the door.
"We're almost there!" Yoman said parking across the Lingga street.
"Let's get down! Papa please bring a yellow map and Alfi stock," said Mina holding Alfi.
At the station there are several hawkers who sell cigarettes, snacks, mineral water, and juice. Alfie stopped in front of the cigarette seller. Mina understood the meaning of her son. He bought the cigarette to Alfie.
"Papa book the ticket first" said Yoman staring at Alfi smoking.
"Alfi let's get to that seat by the train."
"Three tickets to Momoki's village."
Seven minutes later.
"Papa's coming! This is our plane ticket."
" Good luck, pa!"
*Louhan Clinic*
"Please next in line 25th" said assistant Louhan.
"Shizuka we go in first yuk son. C'mon boy!" said Pertiwi who continues to hold him.
"Good morning, Mother Pertiwi. Who's sick, ma'am?
"This is my daughter doc. He has trouble sleeping and sometimes is sad. As a result he lost his spirit."
Louhan started treating Shizuka
"Whose name?"
"Shizuka."
"Can you read this?"
"I'm terrific. I will make my dream come true. My fear will not be able to separate me from my big dreams. I'm not just dreaming. But I will try my best to make my dream come true" Shizuka smiled at the motivational book
"Do you feel anything?"
"Yes I feel it is my heart. Are you experiencing something similar with me?"
"You and I we both have dreams. But our dreams are different. I love petrifying people like you."
Shizuka smiled.
"What's your dream?"
Shizuka. He looked at the doctor while thinking about his big dream. Pertiwi tells Shizuka not to be ashamed or afraid. Shizuka looked at the doctor and Pertiwi alternately. After he saw Pertiwi who kept encouraging him to speak, he started by smiling again at the doctor.
"I have a dream. I've been dreaming of it since I was eleven. I noticed my mother who was always embroidery. He embroidered gloves for Zeexsa, embroidered pillowcases, knitted sweater clothes and made beautiful motifs on the front of the shirt. I really like my mother's embroidery. My mother taught me that time. He seemed happy to teach me because I was quick to master it. When I was growing up, I decided to become a designer. I learned patterns, cutting, measuring, and everything else from the internet. I don't have a cell phone. But I tried to go to the cafe near the Kinara stall. I recorded it and I practiced it at home that I learned. Thank God I could and ended up opening a small business at home."
"That's a beautiful dream, son! Your mother must be so grateful to have a child as smart as you."
"Thank you Mom!"
"So the dream is real? This is a dream that not only benefits you, but also has a positive impact on many people."
"Of course doc. My sister, her friend, neighbors, and the villagers were also encouraged to sew clothes with me."
"You open a job?"
"No doc. I just open the course willingly."
"The good boy! Your heart is soft!" Rangkul Pertiwi's.
"Can I learn with you?"
"The doctor can comfort me. I'm still an amateur doc. If you just introduce the world of design can doc."
The doctor smiled.
Then say, "Write down the things that make you disappointed, happy, afraid, and hope you are here!"
"I...!"
"Let Shizuka calm down this is just a stage of our introduction. Do not worry that no one will know your heart except God, me, and Mother Earth. You're going to help you get through this phase" Louhan said.
"All right!" Shizuka replied while writing.
A few minutes later Shizuka gave the paper she had written to Dr. Louhan. He also told Dr. You to read it after he left. Dr. Louhan agreed and then they went home.
"Let's share my results on the phone later yes doc," Pertiwi whispered.
"Mom just come here later this afternoon."
"Oh yes-yes. Thank you doc!"
"Yes Mom!"
"Stay the spirit of Shizuka!" Said Dr. Louhan.
Next queue no. 26 are welcome in.
"What do we get in line for?" Ask Mina.
"No. 30 Ma!" Answer Yoman.
"Shizuka! He's here too" said Alfi, who had just come from the toilet.
"Shizuka!" He shouted while running after Shizuka.
People were staring at Alfi as it was shouting loudly.
"Alphi?" Shizuka.
"I finally found you Shizuka. You go anywhere. You're okay, right?"
"You know Shizuka?" Ask Pertiwi.
"I'm Alfie Ma'am. I live in the same village as Shizuka. The Unicorn village. Our house is not too far away. Only the hallway is different," said Alfi tone talk quickly.
" Oh. What are you doing here, son?"
"I was invited by my parents for treatment."
"You're the same as your parents?" Shizuka asked worriedly.
"Yes Shizuka. Let's go home!"
"I don't want to go home. Excuse me first!" Shizuka walked away from Alfi.
Alvin is chasing him again.
"I can't forget you Shizuka. Even though you can without me. But I'd go crazy without you. I'll protect you from everyone who tries to hurt you. Including both my parents," said Alfi sincerely.
"I'm sorry I can't go back to that village again!"
"But Shizuka I'm with you."
"My lupus. You can live without me. You are rich, smart, and there are still many beautiful women there who can look after and love you sincerely."
"I just love you Shizuka" alfi argued.
Shizuka kept going and did not look back. The mother followed him and just kept quiet. He does not want to interfere with his feelings because he wants the best for Shizuka. Alfie was there. Shortly after, his mother came. He grew suspicious of his son that his son experienced illusions like a mad man.
"Alfi is getting worse. He often speaks for himself. His delusion was always about Shizuka. The poor woman made my son's future tragic too" muttered Mina worriedly at Alfi's condition.
