Zehan faithfully accompanied Alish to do his work activities. Alish whispered once in a while as Zehan asked him.
When the break arrives, Alish has lunch in storage like yesterday. Alish returns to feed Zehan because Alish is afraid that someone will suddenly enter the warehouse and see the spoon floating.
Alish smiles every now and then as Zehan complains about why he should be bribed by Alish, like a baby boy.
And while Alish was smiling, at the same time, there was a strange tremor in Zehan. I don't know what it is, Zehan doesn't understand but clearly, Zehan is very happy.
Time passed quickly, and without feeling it had been almost a month Zehan lived with Alish. And during that time, the shadow of his past kept coming. Sometimes it's just blurry sometimes there's just a sound. But Zehan still doesn't dare to tell Alish.
Until one day,,
" Sister, I'm off tomorrow. And tomorrow my schedule comes to the foundation of Mother. Brother want to come or stay home,,? " ask Alish.
Zehan, who was about to fall asleep, opened his eyes and turned to look at Alish, who was sitting on the wall right on his floor mattress. Alish was reading a used novel book she bought at a used bookstore.
" You want to go there, huh,,? Have you been paying, huh,,? " ask Zehan.
" It was my sister, a few days ago. Tomorrow before you go to the foundation, I want to shop for a while. To be brought there. Snack for Mommy and small meals for the Sisters. "clearly Alish without turning his eyes away.
" Okay, I'm coming. I'm curious about your childhood residence " said Zehan.
" Yes already, Brother sleep first. I still want to read this book, " said Alish.
Zehan closed his eyes again. His left arm is under his head while his right arm covers both eyes.
Shortly after, Alish began to sleepy.Alish turned off the lights and lay his body on the mattress. In a matter of seconds, a soft snoring sounded.
And again, just like the previous nights, Zehan woke up from his sleep and sat beside Alish's body. His eyes fixedly stared at Alish and his hands gently stroked Alish's cheeks.
Zehan also tidied up Alish's little haircut that slightly covered his face. And tuck her behind Alish's ear. A small smile adorned Zehan's lips.
" I don't know what I feel right now for you, Lish,,? To be sure, I feel very comfortable and happy with you. I want to always be by your side. But can, please,,? I should have realized, I'm just a ghost. And you still have a long life. You'll get to know a man, fall in love and then get married. And me,,? I can only be your shadow. For some reason, it felt tightness and pain in this chest, as I imagined it. Can't I fall in love with you, right,,? " zehan murmured to Alish, as if he were talking to her.
After being satisfied to see the beautiful face of Alish, Zehan returned to his bed. Same position every time Zehan sleeps.
The next day, the,,
Again Zehan woke up because he inhaled the fragrant aroma of Alish cuisine. Zehan got out of his sleep and walked over to Alish.
" Sister is up, is he,,? Soon the breakfast is ready" said Alish after seeing Zehan sitting on the dining table chair.
Before long, Alish began serving food on the table. Just simple cooking. White rice with vegetable soup and fried tempeh. Do not forget tomato sauce, for a spicy flavor enhancer.
Twenty minutes later, Alish came out of the bathroom, had changed her clothes, and was only getting her hair and face straightened. After being neat, Alish came out of the house and did not forget to take Zehan. Alish didn't bring his bike, because he was going to take a taxi online.
Alish stopped by a minimarket to buy groceries and snacks to take to the foundation. All of Alish's actions did not escape Zehan's gaze.
After shopping, Alish climbed into his online taxi that was waiting in front of the minimarket. Zehan got in the car.
Half an hour drive, Alish has arrived in front of the gate of Yayasan Kasih Bunda. His place in the past. Alish entered the foundation followed by Zehan. Mother Ani and her little sisters were waiting for her in front of the entrance. Because last night Alish had informed Mother Ani.
They welcomed Alish happily. Mother Ani hugged Alish tightly and asked her how she was doing. And her little sisters hugged Alish while Alish was handing out small meals for them.
Mother Ani has gone inside to bring the pot Alish gave. The little sisters who had already divided the food, began to disperse themselves.
A pair of small eyes, staring intently at Zehan. Made Zehan scrunch his forehead.
" Why did the boy look at me so sharply, then,,? Can he see me too,,? " inner Zehan.
All of Zehan's actions were sharply stared at by the boy, a six-year-old boy. Alish looked at the boy who kept looking at Zehan. Alish approached the boy and gave him a small meal.
" Why are you, Andi darling,,? " ask Alish.
" Who is that brother,,? " asked the boy named Andi, pointing towards Zehan with his chin.
Alish gasped in shock, not expecting that Andi could also see Zehan. Alish turned to Zehan with a confused look.
