Single-minded

Resha Shafa Maulida

"Not sleeping!" Saying that Falan was friendly, Bayu turned his head and shook his head slowly.

The night was very late, there was no sound around Bayu. Only the sound of the night animals accompany Bayu. The atmosphere was calm and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The silence holds many mysteries. Silence without any sound that disturbs Bayu's mind. The sky looks so beautiful. Stained stars decorate the night sky. The moon is shining so bright. Nothing prevents Bayu from looking up at the sky. It was as if the sky was so close to him.

"I feel comfortable, as well as foreign in this place. Very stupid, if I go to bed too early!" Sahut Bayu relaxed, covering his anxiety and heartache.

"I'm sorry Farah's attitude!"

"For!"

"Be firm in your heart's sincerity. I realize his love for you. But his heart refused to admit it. He did not want to be fragile because of that sacred sense. Farah wants the best for you!"

"Including hurting my heart by ignoring my taste and attention!" Saying Bayu coldly, Falan nodded slowly.

Falan chose to sit right next to Bayu. Both of them sat down with weeds. The sky becomes a roof that is so heart-shaking. Two men who harbored a taste in Farah. I wish I had more relationship. Although there are many reasons that make them unable to be with Farah. Falan and Bayu were pensive, staring at the dark nature that was in front of him. They seek an invisible light in the darkness of the night.

"Farah was too afraid to hurt you, so he chose to get hurt. Ignore the taste you offer. Much easier than ignoring his love for you. Farah is nothing more than light in the dark tonight. A small light that tried to shine on the vast realm. Farah's expected goal, awakening the Atmaja family!"

"Should he forget me!"

"Must, because it makes you a part of his life. Will become weak, as well as a wound in his heart!" Falan said firmly, Bayu turned his head with a sharp gaze.

"What does big brother mean?"

"Call me Falan, I'm almost the same age as Farah. It's just my status that makes me a big brother to Farah. A blood relationship that I would love to deny. But reality is not what we expected. When people taste sugar it's sweet, but to me it leaves a bitter taste!"

"Why do I feel you have a taste for Farah? Your love is more than a brother!" Sayu is calm, but firm. Falan sighed, a smile knot answering Bayu's words.

"You love Farah!" Bayu said again, Falan nodded with a smile. A smile that seemed to want to mock her pure taste in Farah.

"Either Bayu, is this the love or affection of a sister? Decades I've been trying to find the answer to this tip of taste. But I was always confused, right down the road to my decision. I came back and I came back, this feeling makes me even more upset. I'm worried about feeling unworthy. Farah's not my sister, she's my niece, Azzam's son, my cousin. A niece who was supposed to be a princess, but grew up together with Farah. It even makes me fall into such a confused feeling!" Said Falan, Bayu was still pensive. Bayu hopes that he hears a lie.

"You lie, tell me it's all your lies. To keep me away from Farah!" Said Bayu lirih, Falan turned her head while shaking her head slowly. Falan's stern gaze was full of certainty and honesty. Falan gave an answer that Bayu never expected.

"Farah and I grew up together, we shared everything. There's nothing I didn't give her. I am strong just to protect her. I'm being smart, so I can be on par with him. I'm warm, so I can warm Farah's cold. I complete the less side of Farah. My hand that has been holding it all this time. Fill up his empty fingers. The affection of a brother that I started to feel was different. When I saw a man start chasing him. I was jealous, my heart ached hearing that someone loved Farah besides me. But I realized Farah would never be mine. My love is stastus!" Futan is full of honesty.

"Flood!"

"What's wrong with her?" Sahut Falan, for a moment Bayu was silent. He was looking for the right word, to express his inner voice. More precisely his deepest heart unease.

"Did he realize how you felt? What's her opinion?"

"He never realized and didn't need to know. This feeling has been stored deep in my heart. I'm being honest with you, not to tell the world my race is with Farah. You feel pain and anger when Farah ignores your race. But you are much luckier, the dream with Farah can still be realized. As for me, I'll never be with Farah!"

"Wood, learn to see the wounds of others. In order for you to realize, your injuries are still nothing? Farah always looked down, not up. He won't go shopping when he's sad. Hope the crowd will cheer his heart. Instead Farah will come to the wilderness as she is today. So that he can be grateful, because his pain and injuries are still mild. Compared to those who live in the dark, without ease and luxury!"

"You know him well!" Sayu said softly, she felt helpless. Bayu never knew Farah more than Falan.

"My little blood, like those fireflies!" Falan said while pointing at a group of fireflies not far from them. Bayu looked in the direction Falan pointed. Although Bayu did not understand the meaning of the word Falan. But Bayu justifies the word Falan. For Farah was a little light in her heart.

"The fireflies that continue to glow in the dark. Although fireflies are aware, the light is very small. A light that will not shine through the night. But fireflies will continue to shine, so that the heart that expects him continues to be happy staring at his little light. Light that wants to be grasped, but will die when grasped!"

"Like the love Farah wants us to get. But the same love will make Farah weak!" Bayu said, Falan nodded slowly.

"You better be back, in two or three days Farah will be home. He must continue his life goals!"

"You're with him!" Bayu said, Falan shook her head slowly.

"I have to stay here, the construction of the school is still unfinished. The hospital has no best doctor. The people here are my responsibility, and Farah I leave it to you!"

"Farah is still weak, she needs you!"

"He'll be fine!" Falan said confidently.

Tap Tap Tap

"Sister!"

"What's wrong?" Falan is cold.

"Farah is leaving tonight!"

"I was expecting it, Arya contacted Farah earlier. Grandfather threw a tantrum, he harassed the foundation that Farah managed!"

"He who?" Say Bayu lirih, while looking at the veiled girl.

"Resha Shafa Maulida, Farah's adoptive brother. He's my distant cousin, the three of us grew up together. But strangely my heart chose Farah. There is a Shafa near me!" Balan whispered, Bayu looked down. Instead Shafa the veiled girl, was instantly bowed. When Falan told me who she was?

"You have prepared your needs!" Falan said, Shafa nodded slowly.

"When's brother coming?" Shafa.

"So soon, get ready brother will drive you!" Falan said firmly.
