Capítulo 52: Revealed
"Dad don't worry. Nothing will happen to Neil, he is strong Daddy to get to this stage," he said.
Sain manipulated Neil, and raped your son!
Skylar wanted to scream.
"How can you not worry. You already know, how is Neil's condition now and where is he?"
Neil is with Sain, that's the real problem. If Neil wasn't with Sain maybe he wouldn't be so complicated. "I know."
"I want you to know," Raihan began. Skylar waited for his father to say whatever he was going to say again.
"Father once got Neil to choose to change his name, a few weeks after Neil lost his memory."
Skylar's eyes widened in disbelief looking at Raihan whose eyes Neil couldn't catch because they were away from his sight. "What do you mean you did that? You want to turn Neil into someone else?"
Raihan shook his head. "No, Skylar. It's not like that, I thought if Neil changed his name at school, I wished Neil would be safe and wouldn't be detected by your mother."
Skylar's brows furrowed, confused. He knew that he felt anger bubbling when Raihan said he would replace Neil's name which would certainly contradict Skylar himself. However, only a word escaped his lips. "Why?"
However, Raihan again chose to remain silent and did not answer his question. Truly like Neil, as if all the burdens in this world were theirs.
"I never knew you went to the same school as Neil. Your mom said you were in a boarding school again in another city, Dad had wasted so much time looking for Skylar which turned out to be right in front of Father's eyes. Neil for not remembering anything he didn't tell Dad you were there too."
"Dad, I've always wondered. Why did Neil lose his memory?" Skylar asked dozens of times the question had crossed his mind and had yet to find an answer.
Raihan was silent and did not immediately answer, in the end, Raihan raised his voice and answered. "Doctors say Neil is seriously depressed for a kid his age. It's because he was too sad when you left him."
"It can't be like that, Father," said Skylar in disbelief. He straightened his body to better see if Raihan was hiding a lie. However, Skylar found nothing there, only sad and disappointed emotions swirling across his father's face.
"It's like that, Skylar. It's the biggest regret in my entire life, Dad, who wouldn't have thought that Neil would get depressed at such a young age because of parting with Skylar." His father took a deep breath and exhaled roughly. "But your breakup happened one year before Neil lost his memory and Dad found it odd at the time, Neil always said that he would go to Sain's house to play over and over every week and when he came home he would lock himself in his room. Dad wasn't worried about it at first. that's because you know that Neil is like that. Until Sain came and said that he saw Neil in a sick condition in his room, Sain said that at that time he had just come home from out of town with his parents for a few weeks. Dad realized something was wrong with Neil, but it was too late, Neil had a very bad fever and had to be rushed to the hospital and when Neil woke up he forgot all about it."
There was a short pause between them so Skylar could breathe properly, and process Raihan's every word well. She had unconsciously gripped the pillow that was in her lap with the raging emotions overflowing.
Raihan resumed this time with a heavy atmosphere around them. "Where has Neil been all this time? What is he doing? Who did he meet? There will never be an answer from Neil because Neil has forgotten about him. Even with his name. Father had guessed that this must be because of your mother."
"Why do you always say that it's mother's fault?" cut Skylar.
"You don't understand yet, there are things your mother did that crossed the line when we were together and I know it will affect you both later on. So we split up and it's always Neil who will be the victim. Dad goes to your mom and she admits, but doesn't answer what he did to Neil."
'Renjana is the name my father gave me. Not bad, but very strange side by side with George. Then at that time, the mother said jokingly if I have children later. My mom will give me a name, Neil. Isn't that ridiculous? If I had a child with that name, I would hate him.'
Neil blinked, bringing himself back to his senses, from his thoughts drifting through the lines of Mirror And Blood.
"I only found out a few years later what your mother did to Neil through the book you showed Dad."
"What is it, Daddy?" Skylar asked, feeling her stomach roll.
"Through the pictures of the house without windows and doors, big hands filling a whole page, and other pictures that Neil deliberately colored in dark colors. Skylar knows what that means?" asked Raihan.
Skylar shook his head slowly, a feeling of restlessness had surfaced on the outer surface of his skin and kept on wondering what Raihan would say next.
Raihan then answered his question. "It's an indicator of sexual abuse happening to children."
***
After the long conversation, Skylar had with his father. Skylar immediately threw his body on the bed and felt that he was really tired. Mind and body.
Skylar stared at the whitewashed wall in the room. Then his eyes fell on the hangers hanging above the ceiling, the cotton balls in the shape of clouds. His mind drifted to where Skylar was still worried about Neil until now.
What happened?
He took a deep breath and quietly listened to his steady heartbeat and his ragged breathing returned to normal.

"Skylar, we've been waiting for this day. Our boss must be happy," Skylar? This is wrong, she is in Neil's body but why is that person calling her. Please wake him up from this strange dream. Skylar didn't understand.
The sound of a woman's laughter deafening her ears, she approached Skylar quickly following her cheeks which suddenly hurt.
"Never reappear in front of Raihan," the woman stepped back and crossed her arms, and gave a code to the two big men. Skylar got kicked in the stomach. What is this dream that Skylar can feel the pain?
Who are they? The messengers?
Skylar was unable to fight back. His body crashed to the ground, he didn't know what they were doing. All fast. All Skylar knew was pain, which made him lose focus.
The woman swung the wooden block at her head as her ears buzzed loudly. Skylar wouldn't care anymore, with the wooden blow to his body and the pain. If this incident happened outside of his dream. That was the reason Neil got hurt yesterday. Look, the person who hit him or whoever dragged him here. They will regret it.
Skylar coughed so fresh blood came out of his mouth as she hit him in the stomach.
Skylar could only look around the deserted alley, it was only fitting that they could do this to him. Skylar knew Neil's body was about to speak. But he could feel his throat dry.
Skylar, Help!
*
Skylar blinked in confusion as she recalled the dream that seemed so real again, where she was in Neil's shoes. Then why are they there mentioning his father's name? Skylar sighed again tiredly and tried to forget the nightmare.
Yes, it was just a dream. And Skylar will think this is just a flower bed to fill his five minutes. How can he be toyed with by a dream?
And Skylar prays this dream doesn't come true.
Skylar, what to do next?
She would never give up to keep wooing Neil to change his mind and at least think about himself. Neil thinks too much about other people, Skylar wants to let Neil know that he doesn't have to do that. Neil only needed to think about himself and at least be selfish this time.
Skylar knew that someone who had been her hero since childhood had returned. The one that was always in front of him, even before Skylar asked. But this time his colorful hero had faded to gray. Once again Skylar knew that his hero had so many wounds he had to keep to himself. His gray universe even makes it difficult for Skylar to find a speck of color in the life of his hero. This time Skylar will not choose to be behind or in front of his hero, he will be beside him so he doesn't feel alone and will always be there when his hero needs a shoulder to lean on. Skylar will tell him that he is not alone, which will pull him from a world of gray to a world of color. Skylar will now be the hero of his twin. her sister. Neil.
Neil's lack of memory of Skylar makes Skylar believe that everything happened because of the interference of his father and grandmother. Skylar had been looking for Neil for a long time but it turned out that Neil was around him, within sight of him and the sky kept ignoring him. Not without reason, Neil is so similar in behavior and face to his brother. Skylar at that time did not know who Neil was because for Skylar Neil could not be replaced by anyone even though he was the same person.
Skylar is in the room that his mother had prepared for Neil, who knows when Neil will return. Skylar and his mother opened the door wide for Neil to come home. But Skylar again had to be patient whereas now Neil forgot him. He didn't know what happened to Neil after they left. Sooner or later Skylar will find out for himself.
Skylar put his hands behind his head instead of a pillow. He closed his eyes allowing his consciousness to be taken away by the invading drowsiness.
