WIFE OF CHILDHOOD

THE MISSING PUZZLE

Zul sat silent in the house of the Word. He's been home since noon. Her mother was cleaning her luggage in the guest room. Zul was still inexhaustible, looking at Akis who was like that. Akis still has to be treated for a few more days because of his unstable condition. His mental burden was completely down until he always tried to end his life.

Zul looked down sad. He does not remember his past at this time. But from the story of the Word, he did not do anything wrong or do violence both physical and psychic on Akis, Akis, it was Akis who opened his underwear and there were blood spots there that finally made Zul hysterically try to ask for help from adults. Which is actually fatal because of misunderstanding at that time.

Was Akis depressed because it was Zul who made him bleed? Zul covered his confused face.

Vera sat next to Zul.

"It's been a long time like that, Zul! He was always alone at home or at school." said Vera made Zul look at him.

"But this is the first time Akis has attempted suicide?"tanya Zul investigates Vera. Vera shrieks. His eyes dodged Zul's gaze.

"In other words...mmmmm, the time of day before that.mmmmmm, Vera said the same Akis if Zul is sick. Zul's sick now, Zul's sometimes like crazy. Zul could have died because of the disease. mmmmmm. Abis, Vera hasn't seen Akis in a long time. Just want to tell you, who knows Akis asked his parents to come to Zul to Jakarta......"

"What????" Zul glares. He's very angry. Why are the brothers like there is a vicious circle that always almost makes people hurt.

Vera ran in avoiding Zul. But Zul's not after him. Just trying to hold back the emotion that was about to explode. Almost his hand slapped Vera. Fortunately Vera immediately ran away otherwise, somehow this happened.

Zul went to the bathroom. Shaking his head that was about to boil. He immediately ablaze, entering the room for prayer. Ashar is still a long time, so he only prays sunnah. After that take his prayer beads then dhikr.

After Zul got a headache that attacked him. Only prayer and remembrance are his helpers. He has always given God all his life. Neither his sorrow nor his suffering. Zul only asked for the happiness of his parents. Begging not to torture his mother's father for taking care of him.

With Zul prayer is calmer. He could think more clearly after that. I knew she was complaining to God. Mom approached Zul slowly then asked if Zul had a headache.

"Zul is fine, ma'am! I took medicine last night too. It doesn't hurt!" zul replied, keeping his mother calm.

Zul's mother was afraid that Zul would get sick. They had only been in Pandeglang for a day.

Zul hugged mom. He was happy to have parents who loved him so much. Support him under any circumstances. Even when he who is currently supposed to be independent, it is still troublesome for father and mother. Zul was very grateful to God. But Zul is sad to see Akis is not much better than him.

It turned out that everything was not okay for Akis. Everything that adults thought would improve as time passed turned out not to Akis. His inner pressure is getting worse. Making him constantly feel fear and worry that Zul cannot read.

"Now we can't do much, boy! We wait for Akis to come home from the hospital alone," said the mother as if understanding the heartbreak of Zul. Zul hugged mom. Mother knows her heart best.

"Zul wants to go to the hospital, ma'am! Who knows...Akis can be calmer after seeing Zul!" muttered Zul sadly.

"Where would Akis be more shaken? We can't guess his heart yet."

"But Zul is sure, ma'am.... Yesterday Akis was just shocked. I think it must be calmer now, "mother just smiled as she shook her head.

"You are the duplicate of Dad! Just as stubborn," said the mother making him smile in embarrassment.

Finally the mother accompanied Zul to RSUD Pandeglang to visit Akis.

Akis was asleep when Zul arrived. His pajas face looked plain like a baby. Zul begs Akis' mother and mother to leave him alone with Akis until Akis wakes up later.

Zul just looked at the girl's face in front of him. Her lips are tiny but pale. His nose is so real because his thin cheeks are almost fleshy. Her eyelashes are long and plump. Akis is so pretty. Suddenly the memory of Zul's memory flashed through his head. The small-bodied little girl ran around him laughing. The girl's lips were red with lipstick.

"Camey,.... It's like a blood-sucking dracula!" little Goda Zul that time***.

Akis laughs at Zul. They were so familiar, hardly ever quarreled. Because Zul teases him not with a loud or rough voice like other boys. So did Akis, who never got angry at being teased by Zul like most girls. The two are so familiar, complementary.

Zul holds Akis's fingers flattened but looks so thin. His nails are not well maintained.

"***Akii.... Don't like to bite your nails. Ntar nail Akis ugly like a nail mak Ocah!"

"Hahahaha.biarina... Khan mak Ocah likes to make Ucul dodongkal Ucul's favorite!"

"Ngaco,.... what does it have to do with mak Ocah's nails as well as dodongkal? Haha... Akis funny!"

"Lucuan also Ucul, weeeee!!! Dokoh dodongkal mak Ocah but don't like his nails. Hahahaha.khan mak Ocah make dodongkal use his hands with his nails. Weeee!"

"Hahahaha.. his girlfriend Ucul, pinter yaaaa***.....!"

Zul as if twisting a cd in his brain. Everything comes so clearly. Those childhood days were so warm and fun. Make him shed tears. Touched.

Zul was still clutching Akis's cold fingers.

"***Ucuuuuuul..., Ucul banguuun...! Ucul don't die...., don't stay Akiiiiiis!! A'aaaaa, don't hit Ucul. Ucul ain't no bad,"

"I never accepted your treatment of my son. I can sue all of you, who have made my son like this!! You see, your child for life will not be happy for harming my child***!!!"

Zul. His angry father took him away from the hills. Since then they moved from Pandeglang city to Jakarta. Zul was treated for almost a month at Jakarta Hospital. Until he no longer has a memory of Akis and Pandeglang.

Akis woke up from his sleep. His eyes looked at Zul. His eyes are brown.

"Acise! I'm Ucul.... Zulyand. I remember Ucul khan?" Akis was silent. His eyes seemed to speak a lot, but Zul did not understand.

Zul rubbed the back of Akis' hand slowly. He didn't want to shake Akis.

"Zul's been fine all along. Zul is healed, only Zul has lost his memory of Akis all along. So now Zul is coming, sorry Akis!" Akis still looked into Zul's eyes. There's an emergency over there. Zul smiled, trying to understand Akis's eye language.

Zul kissed Akis' hand. Put it on Zul's cheek. Unconsciously she smiled while crying. Akis was crying slowly.

"Zul kangen Akis. Cute and cheerful. Akis the lipstick. Akis always called Zul 'Ucul'... Akis who always nemenin Zul playing robots. Akis remember? Akis once said, even if we grow up later, we must both Ucul! You can't stay away from each other, because Akis loves Ucul, Ucul also loves Akis!" said Zul with tears. Akis covered his face which was also teary.

"Zul is wrong, linggalin Akis. But really, it's because Zul forgot his memories. Not because I want to hide Akis. By Allah, Akis!.... Maafin Zul yaa. Surely Akis suffered a lot during this time, because of Ucul. Sorry yaaa!"

Akis hugged Zul while crying loudly. Mother Zul and Mother Akis barged in. Both of them cried to see their children who had eliminated the turmoil in each other's hearts.
