The Moon is Split

End of Winter in Hokkaido - Part Two

A Line message came in on Kira's phone. From an unknown ID. Kira opens.

"What are you looking for me for. Cool"

Kira almost jumped out of her bed. Here's a message from Cool. He immediately replied to her.

"Keren, it's your twin brother Kirani"

"Yes, I know I've seen your pot"

"I want to meet you. I'm in Hokkaido"

"How did you get me here?"

"Sister Arzie is desperately looking for you, Cool. He's our only brother"

"The only boy?"

"So you're with him now?"

"Yes, we're at the hotel. I'll send you the address later"

"All right, I'll be there"

Kira sends her hotel address to Keren.

Geck... Geck...

Keekkk . ...

"Sir Arzie ... "

"Sister Arzie's going out for a second, Dek. I have an appointment with a friend. Arzie's sister will be back again"

"Relse ... Keren called me. He's coming here"

"Oiya, thank goodness then. But Arzie's brother has already promised. How about it, Dek?"

"Yes, already. Let me just wait for him here. If he comes I'll call Brother Arzie"

"OKAY. Be careful, honey"

Kira kissed the back of her brother's hand. Then back into his hotel room. He waited for the arrival of his twin brother impatiently. He wanted to quickly meet and hug Cool.

"I'm at your door, open the door"

Kira read Line's message. Quickly she took her hijab and opened the door.

Keekkk ...

"You're Kirani's name"

Kira's surprised. Cool leaning against the front wall of the door.

"Cool"

He doesn't care about Kira's surprise. He just kept going into the room. He put his body on the bed.

"Hey, tell me how you found me here"

"Wait a minute, I'll get you something"

Cool took the adoption papers he and his brother along with photos as proof. Cool reading those letters. Look at the photos one by one.

"You were adopted by two different families?"

"Then how did you meet each other?"

Kira tells Keren everything, about her meeting with her brother, about grandmother, about her search for their biological parents, and about Arzie's search for Keren.

"Are our families so poor that they have to sell all their children?"

"That's not what it means to be cool. Maybe at that time for Father and Mother we better live happily raised by other families than they can not make us happy"

"Whatever you say, I just can't believe it. I need proof that you're really my family"

"Is this evidence not enough, Cool?"

"No. I need something more convincing"

"You mean?"

"I mean ... "

Keekkk ...

Not yet Cool replied Arzie was already in the room and closed the door. Arzie looked at the two women sitting side by side on the bed. A pair of identical twins are very beautiful. He could not say anything as he watched that, his two twin sisters were already in front of him.

"Sir Arzie ... "

"Hmmm..."

"Have you returned?!"

"Yes, Deck"

Kira got up from her seat. He pulled Cool's hand to get up. Then hold her twin hand.

"It's Cool, Brother. The one we've been looking for"

Arzie was still stunned in front of the two beautiful angels. One is Kirani who is meek with beautiful long hair and one is Cool who looks rather tomboyish with her short hair, t-shirt and her jeans.

Many times Arzie saw both of them, on Kirani then on Keren. Yes Tuhaan... I don't dream, Inner Arzie. He approached both. She stroked Cool's head gently then hugged him. Kirani approached them. Arzie hugged her in the arm next to him. A sense of haru enveloped them that day.

"Is this what Arzie's sister was called by the woman who looked like me?", Inner Cool.

"He's very handsome. His body is tall. His chest is also a field. Is this what it's like to be hugged by a sister?"

"But I'm not that easy to believe"

Cool still looks awkward. It was the first time she was hugged by a man. Even if it's his real brother. But they only met after seventeen years of separation. Kira explains Cool's doubts to Arzie. Arzie just smiled. He was not angry at the attitude of his newly met sister.

"Well, tomorrow morning we go to the doctor. We're doing a DNA test"

"DNA test, Brother?"

"Hmmm..."

"here?"

"Yes, here. We don't need to go to Indonesia. We'll do a DNA test tomorrow morning. What do you think, Cool"

"Deal!"

"All right, tomorrow morning we leave. You rest first tonight. Calm your hearts. Hopefully tomorrow will be given a smooth run. Brother Arzie back in the room first huh. Good night, sweetie"

Arzie kissed his sister's forehead one by one as a good night's greeting. Then he went back to his room to rest.
