The Moon is Split

The Hidden Reality

Gts .... Gts ...

"Sir ..."

There was no answer from inside.

Gts ... Gts ...

"Sir Arzie ... "

Stay silent. Kirani ventured to enter.

Cekreejekk ....

The atmosphere in the dark room. All the lights went out.

"Relse .... "

Kirani turns on her phone, searches for the light button and turns it on. Clik.... The whole room became bright. Kirani sprinkled her gaze throughout the room.

He saw Arzie sitting on the floor in the corner of the bed with a disheveled face, like someone who was in a deep depression. His head rested on the bed, one of his legs stretched out on the floor and the other bent, supporting one of his hands.

Kirani is surprised to see Arzie's state, she is very worried about Arzie's state. He approached her slowly.

"Relse ... "

Arzie raised his head and turned towards Kira.

"Sister Arzie all right?"

"Hmmm... "

"What's up, brother? Isn't it usual for Arzie's sister to be like this?!"

Arzie just kept quiet. He looked at the woman who was still wearing her school uniform deeply. His gaze penetrated deep into Kirani's bead of eyes. There was sadness coming from his eyes. Kirani searched for what was hidden from the eyes of the man in front of her.

"Where have you been, Dek?"

"So from the guided tryout"

"Why did your driver tell you to go home"

"Sorry, Brother. I was ... We met up with a friend so we talked for a while"

"Friends?"

"Yes"

"Male?"

"Yes"

Arzie shifted his sitting position. He looked at Kirani.

"Alexi??"

"Clean yourself and then change. Arzie's sister is waiting at the library. There's something Arzie's gonna want to ask you"

"Yes, Brother..."

Kira. He went back to his room and cleaned himself and changed his clothes. Half an hour later he was tidy then he headed for the library in one corner of the room.

Gts ... Gts ..

Keekkk ...

Kira went inside. Arzie sat in a swivel chair behind a large table. He leaned his body there and both hands were supported on the arm of the chair.

"What's up, brother?"

"Come here, Deck"

Kirani approached, she stood on the side of the table.

"May Brother Arzie ask you something?"

"Yes, Brother"

"When Mr. Arzie left town a few months ago, it was true that you also went somewhere and didn't come home for a few days"

"Yes"

"Where?"

"There's something important that Kira's looking for, sister. Sorry Kira didn't tell Brother Arzie"

"Where are you going, Grandpa?"

"Ke ... Palembang"

Arzie had guessed that answer. He sighed, his faint smile visible from his face. Arzie picked up a green map and a brown envelope located on the table. He approaches Kira and hands both of them to Kira.

"You looking for this?"

Kirani recognized the green map. Those are the secret letters that Grandma gave him. But that brown envelope, just this time he saw it.

"Open up...!!?"

Kirani looked at Arzie, her gaze full of questions. Arzie just nodded his head. Kirani opened and read the contents of the envelope. His face changed after reading the letters. Then he put the sheets of letters and envelopes on the table. He reopened the green map from Grandma. Toss both papers.

Take the pictures that are inside. Lock it up on the table. Kirani could not believe what she saw. Kirani looked at Arzie. His eyes seemed to say "Is this really so, Brother???" And Arzie, who seemed to understand the meaning of the gaze, nodded his head slowly.

"No way" said Kira.

The two of them looked at each other, for a while no one spoke to each other. They're trying to understand what's going on here, just eyes talking between them.
