The Moon is Split

The Old Key Disappears

Drr... Drr...

Kira's phone rang. He stopped learning. Take his phone on the bed.

"Have you slept, Deck?"

"No, Brother. What's up?"

"Sister Arzie seems to be coming home late tonight, there's a little overtime, double-checking some files with each division. You go to bed first, Dek"

"Yes, Brother. Careful of your return, brother. Keep health. Don't push yourself too much"

"Yes, good night ... "

Kirani continued her studies. Tomorrow he has a daily math review. He didn't want to get bad grades in his studies, so he was always studying hard.

Eleven o'clock in the night Arzie's black pajero is parked in the yard. Arzie got out of his car, got into the house and headed upstairs. He deliberately turned towards the library room at the right end of the stairs. Put some files on a big table over there.

Suddenly his eyes were fixed on the old bookcase owned by his Papi. He saw a carved box tucked between the big books there. Arzie approached the cupboard and picked up the carved box. He just saw that thing this time. Maybe it belongs to Papi, he thought. Arzie. In the box is an old photo album. The pictures of Papi when he was young. And a key.

"Key?"

Arzie. What keys should be stored in this carving crate.

"What's this key"

"God .... Maybe it was the key to the suitcase Bi Mar found?"

"There's no harm in me trying. I wonder what the old suitcase is"

He took the key and put the box back in its place. Then he headed to his room. Arzie immediately cleaned himself and changed clothes so that his body felt fresher.

Arzie came out of the bathroom wiping his hair. Then put the towel back in the bathroom. He's headed for the wardrobe on his wardrobe. He remembered storing the old suitcase iti wardrobe.

"Hopefully this key fits" he murmured.

Slowly he put the key in the keyhole. Turn it slowly and kliikk.... The key sounds open. He opened the suitcase very carefully. There are some old documents inside. An envelope that says ....

"Children's ado file?"

His eyes were wide at reading the writing. His heart beat faster. He read all the documents. Her whole body read the contents of the document. If only he had not strengthened his heart, he might have shouted as loudly as he could.

"Yes, God ... What does all this mean? So I'm an adopted child? I'm not Papi and Mami's real son?"

"Cannot be. I can't believe any of this. But... All of these files are official and original. What am I supposed to do now?"

******

Gts .... Tock....

"Sister..."

Arzie got up from his bed and opened the door. His face was still shabby as a result of not sleeping all night.

Keekkk ...

"Sir Arzie ... It's fine"

"Sister Arzie's fever"

Kira got up from her seat about to take the medicine, Arzie held her hand. Prevent him from leaving.

"Sister Arzie, it's okay, Deck. Just lack of sleep. Overnight overtime"

"But sister, your body is so warm", Kira touched Arzie's neck and forehead once again.

"You take it easy"

"Sister Arzie wait here for a minute. I thought I'd get some medicine first"

Kirani immediately went downstairs to ask Bi Mar to take a heat-lowering drug in the medicine box. Then he returned to Arzie's room with a glass of water and a heat-lowering medicine.

"Relse ... Take the medicine first"

Arzie opened his eyes and smiled and rose from his sleep. He took the heat-lowering medicine and vitamins that Kira brought.

"Thank you, Deck" said Arzie, holding Kira's cheek.

"Sister Arzie just take a break, Kira goes to school first... "

"This is your pocket money. Just ask the driver to drive you, yeah, Dek"

"Thank you, Brother. Cepet healed yes ..."

Kirani closed the door slowly. Then he went to the yard and called the driver to drive him to school. Actually, he wanted to take the public transportation, but Arzie must be angry. She was so worried about Kira that she went back to school to pick her up herself or have the driver pick up Kira.

******

Almost noon Arzie just woke up from his sleep. His entire body that had been painful once now became fresher. His body heat is back to normal. Kirani was indeed the most efficacious medicine for him.

An hour later he was ready and dressed.

Tuout... Tuout..

"Good day, sir"

"Piang. Wi, please reschedule my schedule this week. I have important business out of town"

"Good, sir", said his secretary.

Arzie went downstairs to see Bi Mar.

"Bi ..."

"Yes, sir.."

"When Kira comes home from school, please let me know that I have an out-of-town event for a few days. So for a few days I didn't go home huh"

"Good, sir"

Arzie knew that Kira turned off her phone during study hours, since she had contacted Kira several times but did not pick up. So he thought it best to leave a message to Bi Mar alone.
