Dusk At the End Please
Terror

A sense of loneliness slipped back into his heart. The mother's departure again leaves sorrow for Akhtar. Even though this time he himself delivered the departure of the Mother, he also knew the existence of the Mother, could communicate smoothly and could meet her at any time. But still what is called separation is always something that hurts.

Stared at every corner of his house, he smiled to himself as the shadow of the Mother with her morning routine in the house flashed through his mind. Two wonderful weeks for Akhtar, staying one roof with his mother makes his days feel more meaningful.

His departure every morning there is a delivery and his return in the afternoon there is waiting.

With a heavy heart Akhtar finally gave up his mother to live in Garut. After having a chance to argue with the mother, because she refused the mother's request to move to Garut, Akhtar finally gave up. She let her mother go back to her hometown after Fatimah's mother told her all the reasons why she made this decision.

Ms. Fatimah also explained about the arrival of Father and Mother, she continued, complete without being missed. At first Akhtar was angry, he did not accept the treatment of his mother. He also did not think about his father's behavior.

Almost Akhtar lost control, he insisted on seeing Father and Mother for justice, but Ms Fatimah with patience and tenderness gave Akhtar understanding so as not to get carried away. Akhtar also said, he could again control himself and obey the wishes of the mother.

After all the events that happened in the foundation, Ibu Fatimah decided to return to Garut. He only stayed a few days at his parents' house, he said goodbye to both parents to fill his time by devoting himself to a boarding school owned by a friend who is also still a brother away.

Pameungpeuk.

A subdistrict located in Garut Regency precisely South Garut. Mother Fatimah's existence here is not only to fill time by sharing knowledge, but also as healing after all the things she experienced lately.

The existence of pesantren not far from the beach makes Mother Fatimah often spend her time enjoying the beauty of the beach.

Garut is not only famous for its culinary dodol Garut, one of the popular beaches also found in Garut Regency, namely Pantai Darang Heulang.

This beach has a stretch of about 3.5 km with a stretch of sand decorated with coral rocks, the sea water is clean with waves that are quite strong.

Pantai Darang Heulang also has a natural spot in the form of mangrove forests, the charm of Pantai Sayang Heulang Garut has long been a tourist choice for Garut residents and surrounding areas.  

The tourist area of Pantai Darang Heulang, Garut Regency, West Java is indeed quite charming. The vast expanse of coral that juts into the mainland, making it one of the southern coastal beaches of Garut which is relatively safe for visitors.

P antai is named Pantai Darang Heulang, because once in this location a lot of Eagle or Heulang in Sundanese, and unfortunately in Sundanese language means nest.

So named Darling Heulang (Eagle's Nest), but unfortunately now the Eagle birds are hunted by humans to extinction and no longer exist.

"May you be at home here" the voice of someone turned away the eyes of Ms. Fatimah who was busy staring at the blue sea expanse on the beach at Darling Heulang. The bright afternoon atmosphere in the place made the audience forget themselves. Ather to the beauty of the Nature of Allah's Exalted Creation.

"Thank you for taking me to such a beautiful place, God's Mashaa is amazing" Fatimah replied to the man.

She is the Muslim Mother, a friend that Fatimah found when she complained about her fate abroad. Bu Muslimah also had become a workforce abroad, the contract was only two years and faster to return to the country. Unlike the Fatimah Mother who continued to extend her contract. They became close because they came from the same area, Garut.

Arriving in the homeland of the Muslimah mother established a pesantren with her late husband which was their goal. Ms. Muslimah also still intertwine with Ms. Fatimah by phone.

After the departure of her husband a few months ago now Bu Muslimah has to fight for himself to continue the management of this pesantren as a trust from the husband, assisted by his children Bu Muslimah to manage the pesantren well, and now the presence of his best friend who was also still a distant brother was very helpful to Ms. Muslimah in taking care of pesantren.

"I'm glad you're here" said Ms. Muslimah. Ms. Muslimah already knows all the stories of her best friend's life, she was also grateful and proud to see her best friend able to survive and even become a better person behind all the problems of her life.

"I'm at home" replied Fatimah briefly.

Ms. Fatimah underwent her new routine at the boarding school with enthusiasm, in addition to being a teacher for pesantren children she also gave skills training to the surrounding community. His presence in the pesantren has brought its own blessings there. Santri mukim more and more, and the trust of the donors was increasing.

While in Bandung...

Since his last meeting with Akhtar in the back garden of his official housing complex, Shanum has always received terror from a number he does not know. There are warnings and threats that he often receives.

08xxx.....

'Basic cheap chick'

'Basic actor'

'Women don't know themselves'

'Don't approach Akhtar'

'Self-conscious, who are you!'

'Don't mess around, you don't know who you're dealing with'

Shanum received a series of messages every day. Shanum did not know what the person meant, he initially ignored him. Thought it was just a misdelivering message. But it turned out that the longer the messages he received were increasingly pointing at him. He knows who the messages are from.

Shanum chose to ignore the messages. Choosing to undergo his activities as usual, at sixty-thirty he was already at the school where he taught and returned to the official house after performing Ashar prayers, sometimes before Maghrib he had just returned. His activities are quite solid in school, in addition to teaching Shanum is also believed to be the coach of student activities.

His dense activity made him have a reason to avoid Ahsan who until now still continues to meet him. Shanum has decided not to establish communication with Ahsan again, he has promised Suraya to release Ahsan completely.

Unlike Ahsan, he did not care about Shanum who kept dodging. He was persistently looking for various opportunities to be with Shanum. Sometimes Shanum also can not avoid if the activities of the foundation turned out to bring them together.

Ahsan often comes to the school where she teaches for various reasons, even though her work with Ahsan is completely unrelated. Like today, when all her work at school was done and preparing to go home Ahsan was already waiting for her outside.

"Assalamu'alaikum" he said as Shanum flashed before him. Ahsan was deliberately waiting for Shanum in the classroom corridor that Shanum used to pass when he was going home who already looked lonely.

This shocked Shanum, who was walking alone. He came out last after guiding the exculus activities of his students.

"Sister", he jolted...

"What's Brother doing here?" ask Shanum

"I was deliberately waiting for you, I missed" Ahsan replied honestly.

Shanum looked up, all this time he had been trying to avoid Ahsan even if there was one

the work that brought them together Shanum was very trying to avoid personal things with Ahsan, especially regarding their togetherness and plans before.

"Here you go, Brother" said Shanum lirih.

"Shanum, I don't know what deal you made with Suraya. But obviously I will still fight for our love." Ahsan said firmly.

Shanum sighed, he stopped his steps.

"Sister, my decision has been unanimous. Please respect that" Shanum replied no less firmly.

He walked faster leaving Ahsan who was still standing in his place.

Not only Ahsan who is still trying to fight for his love, after knowing the reality about Ahsan and Suraya Akhtar was back to aggressively do the action. He sent Shanum messages every day. Shanum just read it without ever replying. He was firm in his stance considering that the two men were not around.

Shanum chose to focus on his busy life at school. In addition to avoiding the two men who continue to approach him, Shanum was more often spent time at school to divert his mind about the younger brother.

Next month is her sister's wedding day, the news that says that her sister's future husband's family asked them to hasten her wedding day has reached Shanum's ears.

Shanum can only pray that everything will be launched, he also assured his parents that he is okay if it must be preceded by marriage. His father could accept and understand Shanum's decision but in contrast to his mother, the last news he received from his youngest sister was that I was taken to the health center because it had been two days not feeling well. Shanum decided to take a holiday later this month and he will return to Bogor.

Towards Magrib Shanum arriving at his official house, he threw his body on the sofa in the living room of his official house. The condition of the house is still dark, he chose to close his eyes enjoying solitude in the dark.

Ting.beep notification of incoming message to his gadget.

'I think our last conversation was clear. If you still let Ahsan see you I make sure your career ends at this foundation!'

A message that Suraya sent made Shanum flinch. Long Shanum looked at his dress, confused as to what to reply. All this time he had always been avoiding Ahsan. But Ahsan is still Ahsan who is not tired of fighting for his love, he does not care even though every day Suraya flowed attention, but did not necessarily make his heart turn away from Shanum.

Shanum repeatedly said Istighfar, remembering all the problems that were facing him. It all seems to come in a row. Had crossed his mind which part was wrong of him until the problem so terbibi come. Happiness and tranquility do not seem to be on his side.

His desire was simple, able to work quietly. Saving to spend the hajj both his parents. Set yourself up to get the right match for him. He had expected nothing of Akhtar or Ahsan, let them be part of his life journey that ended up being a memory. But in reality, his life is not that simple.

"Astaghfirullah" Shanum rubbed his face.

"Forgive me, O Rabb, forgive my sins" he said.

Ting...

'This time I'm not kidding, the choice is yours. Leave this place, resign well, or be dishonorably discharged', he said',

The second message of Suraya goes back to the whattsapp application. Shanum was again surprised by the choice given by Suraya.

"Oh Allah.." murmured Shanum.
