The Goddess of Pigeons

CHAPTER 17: FURQON AND ANDO'S JOURNEY

They continued on their way home.

‘brmmm..’

The sound of the car was heard from inside the house. Hearing that, I looked and confirmed it through the window.

“ is really Furqon who came, why do I feel bad now. I became wrong behavior” muttered Am.

Furqon got out of the white car. And say hello to his best friend Ando. Seeing Furqon going to enter the house Am immediately ran into the room Furqon. Somehow that day he became misbehaved.he felt happy, anxious and ashamed of Furqon at that time.

After entering the house Furqon only glanced at his room. Then he went towards the back kitchen. He looked for his mother and told her he had come home.

“i've come home mom.” Furqon.

“iya son, eat first.” Said mother.

“Furqon, that Fi was out to mom. He went to the tapestry town. He said he had a friend there. I'm sorry son, he's walking from here to there. What if you taught her to ride a bike?.” Said Mother.

Hearing the words of his mother Furqon immediately swallowed the saliva.

‘glek!’

“mother,,,, mom still doesn't know her so don't trust her too much.” Furqon.

“what do you mean nak?” Ask mother.

“already, yes, yes, later Furqon will teach him.” Furqon.

“all right, then you teach her in a gentle way huh? Don't be rude.” Said mother.

“iya.” Answer Furqon.

“how are you doing Furqon?” Ask Mom.

“apa?”

"oh that,,,!!"

(there's no way I'm saying that Fi is Am on mom)

“Furqon still looking for it.” Furqon.

“so bad. Though your pigeon is really smart and he seems to understand our words. But you don't want to lock him up. Yes it is gone.” Said mother.

“just because Fuurqon brackets him go mom.” Furqon.

“where there is a pigeon caged he can escape. If you're not the tledor, son. You this how the hell.” Said mother.

“iya, yes Furqon who has tledor mother. But Furqon has already started to have a clue of his whereabouts.” Furqon.

“really? Where's nak?” Ask mother.

“but still not sure ma'am, so Furqon will make sure it first.” Furqon.

“well. Actually it's not the pigeons that matter now Furqon. But.. when will you find a life partner?” Ask mother.

"uhuk uhuk,"

Furqon coughed in shock at her mother's words.

Suddenly the food stopped when the mother said that. Then he drank a glass of water that was currently beside his plate.

Furqon softly replied.

“ibu,,,, there are some tasks Furqon has to complete first. Once done Furqon will definitely start it.” Furqon.

“what do you mean nak?” Ask mother.

“ibu need not know, because it is very confidential.” Furqon.

“secret.”

“already, already mom, mom must be soaked and let me take you to the room ya.” Furqon.

Furqon ended his conversation with his mother. Because if it was too far away, Furqon was afraid to speak what he should not have said.

In the next few days Furqon saw Am's movements at every step. He tried to lure Am, about what he had asked the doorman first. Unaware Am is fooled and she tells him exactly what she used to say.

After that incident, Furqon was absolutely certain that Fi was indeed Am.

That morning he knocked on the door.

“tok! Geck! Tok!”

(that must be Furqon, why I'm being misbehaved like this) said Am.

Then Am opened the door.

“you rest? Am?” furqon.

“iya sis, why do you call me Am?” said Am.

“then why haven't you told me if you're Am?” furqon.

“apa?” Ask Am.

“I don't think the angels can lie, they are noble beings, sinless but what angel is now before me?” furqon.

“what sister is talking about.” Am said.

(how is this, where does he know it. Sir, has my life come here?. Am I going to turn into ashes after this?).

“you still quibble?” furqon.

Furqon came in and closed the door. So that others do not hear the conversation of the two of them.

“well. The first time I met you, I felt this was a strange thing. Where there might be a pretty girl, like to wander around last night suddenly living in my house and saying no family. It turns out.. You are an angel Am?” furqon.

“you know I've been looking everywhere for you. I worry about you like that. But why can't you say anything to me. You even quibbled and lied to me” Furqon said.

“i so doubt are you really an angel?” furqon.

“how can a pigeon turn into a human like me. Have you gone crazy, brother?” said Am.

“you once told me about the angel of the ruler of the sea. Then the angel dived together with the water so that no man would know its existence. That night you said the angel was curious about what it was like to be human, hungry or thirsty. No human being would know that much. If he is not an angel himself.” Furqon.

“all right if you already know then why? Is that as important as my status in your view?” said Am.

“that's not what I mean. You know for yourself all this time I've been looking for you. Feeling guilty about you. You were punished for saving my life. You know how much this guilt of mine tortures me?” furqon.

“do you know with the opening of my identity I will disappear?” said Am.

“what do you mean?” Ask Furqon.

“with humans know me as an angel. Then I'll vanish like ashes.” Am said.

“apa?” furqon.

“now I'm just waiting for how many more days of my life. No, maybe just a few more hours or even a few more seconds. Looks like we can't see each other again after this Furqon.” Am said.

“what is your reason for hiding it?” furqon.

“I have to go, before any other human sees it.” Am said.

“no, no, I'm really sorry. I don't know. I'm sorry.” Furqon.

“nothing. I gotta go. Take good care of yourself man” said Am.

Am running as far away from the settlement as possible. He was looking for a place where there was no human at all. Am ready if his life should be finished by then. Because Furqon has learned of his identity. Furqon followed Am from behind.

“why are you following me?” said Am.

“I lost you once. But now I don't want to lose you again.” Furqon said.

“but my life is no longer Furqon.” Am said.

Furqon clasped Am's hand.

“if indeed your life is soon and will turn to ashes. I still have to be next to you.” Furqon.

For hours they held on tight. Suddenly a small light appeared in me. Like what happened this morning.

‘ting!’

“what light was that?” Ask Furqon.

“no I don't know either. But this is the second time this has happened.” Am said.

“you didn't ask the one in the sky?” Ask Furqon.

“actually at that time I wanted to ask this to my friend Amal. He's in the Tapestry town. But as I was traveling to the Tapestry town, many men wanted to kidnap me. They're chasing me. Until my feet are so tired.” Am said.

“you mean this morning?” Ask Furqon.

“iya, how do you know.” Am said.

“mother said if you go to see your best friend. But he didn't tell me anything the rest of it was.” Furqon.

“iya I kept it a secret. So that mom does not worry.” Am said.

“now how are you doing?” Ask Furqon.

“ya.. it is okay. They failed to kidnap me.” Am said.

“lain times, go with me. Don't be alone.” Furqon.

Furqon recalled when Am came home for the first time, when Am was still the dove Am's leg who was shot first.

“Am, then how did your legs ever get shot when you were a pigeon first?” Ask Furqon.

“healed, you want to see?” said Am.

By opening her skirt and showing the bullet marks.

“good news then.” Furqon said with his eyes restrained.

“ngmong, until when should we be here?” Ask Furqon.

“entahlah, why did I not immediately become ashes huh..? though I am here so that no human sees it.” said Am.

After hearing the words spoken by Am. Furqon hugged Am.

“please don't turn him to ashes. Because I love him so much God.” Furqon.

Then he kissed Am's forehead.

Without realizing Am, the Light appeared again from 2 fingers Am. The middle and sweet fingers.

Heard the words Furqon had just thrown from his mouth. Am's heart is racing, comfortable, happy and happy. Then Am hugged Furqon tightly. What he thought at the time. He did not want to miss his happiness at that moment. And just disappear.

The mind says (it feels very comfortable, is this what is called love?).
