Dusk At the End Please
The Unsourced Taste

The holiday has arrived, everyone is happy to welcome the victory day of Muslims around the world. Victory for having been reborn into a holy person with the end of Ramadan and closed with the payment of zakat fitrah.

When the holiday arrives the hope of becoming a better person is mountainous. After a month of being educated in the blessed month of tarbiyah, hoping to succeed in becoming a new human being with the predicate of taqwa, which is the highest achievement of the fasting month of Ramadan.

Bu Hana has prepared a variety of special eid menu to be a meal on this holiday. Start ketupat, vegetable lontong, opor, pepes fish, potato fried samber already Bu Hana prepared. Assisted by Fauzan the youngest son who came last night from Bogor because he was stuck in traffic, Bu Hana arranged everything at the dining table which was deliberately moved to the family room to facilitate the parasman process after having a good night later.

This is the first eid-fitri passed by Mr Imran's family in Garut after his move a few years ago to Bogor. Today after performing the Ied prayer Mr. Imran invited all his family members to gather together at his house.

Shanum has arranged everything nicely. Starting the place, home decor that little he changed because of the additional knick-knacks eid fitri, food menu, various cakes, THR money and hampers for all members of his family Shanum already prepared.

Within two days he prepared everything assisted by Indri. The other employees had already had a holiday, exactly two days before Lebaran along with the closing of the mother's rice stall. Shanum already provides salaries and also additional benefits as a holiday allowance for all employees. In addition Shanum also bought ceu imas, bi aisah and indri lebaran clothes also parcel food.

Shanum was very enthusiastic about getting everything ready, Mr. Imran as the eldest son and himself as the first grandson should facilitate the gathering of a large family from the father who for several years only met who sometimes their meetings were separated. Now Shanum deliberately prepared everything so that his extended family could gather and increasingly strengthen relations as when there were still deceased grandparents first.

Not only Shanum was enthusiastic about getting everything ready. Fauzan the youngest brother who only lived a few years in Garut before finally moving to Bogor was very happy to be back in his hometown, where she was born and grew up before adolescence she had to move to Bogor. He was eager to help his mother arrange food and various cakes at the table that had been provided. While his two brothers were preparing and dressing up their only niece who had begun to actively move and was very adorable.

Sometimes Rida and Adam are overwhelmed by the action of the very active little guy. Currently Rida is dressing up after previously preparing all the needs of her husband. Adam became the most enthusiastic person when asked Shanum to spread in Garut. While Shanum who was ready first seemed to be holding a beautiful baby Humairah with a maroon red hijab with a typical baby model to make it more comfortable to match the color of the family uniform on the holiday these.

They are all deliberately costumed in the same color, although different dress models but the same color makes their family look very compact. Mr. Imran and his family plan to follow the ied prayer in the square of the district.

Shanum's parents' house is located in a strategic place, the village where it is located becomes the center of the district level government. So that the strategic location is not only suitable to be used as a place of business but also facilitate access to other places, especially those related to public facilities.

Back from the square room which is not too far from home so it can be reached on foot Shanum and the family apologized to each other. He started from Bu Hana who insisted on apologizing to her husband Mr Imran, followed by Shanum, Rida, Adam her husband Rida and the youngest Fauzan who did sungkem to her parents and siblings.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, please bless the mother for all that she has given to you. May the mother always be healthy and long live" Shanum slumped on the lap of the mother with unbearable tears.

Bu Hana rubbed the head of Shanum, her eldest daughter who always tried hard to be the pride of all family members. Since long ago he has presented himself as an independent person, rigid and always cheerful. But behind the rigor and cheerfulness shown by his daughter stored the worries of Bu Hana for the firstborn considering until now he still seemed reluctant to open himself and his heart to the presence of others in his life after the death of her husband. Ms. Hana really wants to see Shanum happy, meet men who love her, have a household and have a sadinah family, mawadah warahmah. Moreover, his second daughter is now blessed with children.

"Mother is always the same, thank you for being a proud child. Teteh has always been a good role model for the younger siblings. Do'a mother always accompanies, may always be happy, the blessings of the life of the world and the hereafter" said Bu Hana embracing her eldest daughter.

They both hugged each other tightly and broke into tears. Soluble in do'a and expectations of each.

The same thing Shanum did to his Father, followed by Rida, Adam and Fauzan they also dissolved in happy tears. The newness enveloped each other's hearts on this fitri feast.

The behavior of the little Humairah broke their cry. Shanum was made anxious by the behavior of his beautiful nephew who has now begun to learn to walk. He held Humairah in a fit of rage and carried her forward because the sound of knocking on the door sign of the big family had begun to gradually arrive at the request and invitation of Mr. Imran.

The family of Mr Imran has also gathered. Ritual on the feast day began, mutual forgiveness continued by enjoying the typical dishes of Lebaran, various cakes, for THR, take pictures together and share the story of each life that they have missed because of the distance and busyness of each.

Happiness is on the faces of all family members. Now, everyone has been cool with their respective chatter. The parents had gathered in the living room, Mr. Imran and Ms. Hana were busy chatting with her sisters and brothers-in-law. Their children also colonized according to their age. Divided into two camps of teenagers and children. There are gathered on the back porch, in babancong also on the front porch. The stall was even opened to be used during the family event. Fauzan became the object invaded by his cousins who were mostly women. The charm of the city's youth has been hypnotizing girls since they were in the square.

Shanum circulated his gaze to every corner of the room of his parents' house. He saw a happy twinkle in everyone's eyes. He was happy that finally his extended family in Garut could get back together.

While in Bandung...

Fatimah was feeding someone in a wheelchair. Akhtar had returned the day before the holiday, Bu Fatimah even had to return to Bandung the next day because Ahsan received the news that Akhtar would return home tomorrow. Though they had just arrived at Pameungpeuk, but the fatigue of Fatimah was eroded by his longing for the son.

After dawn prayers Ahsan returned to drive his car to bring Bu Fatimah to Bandung.

"Eat again, son" Ms. Fatimah seemed to persuade Akhtar to return to accept her bribe. Since coming to his senses from the coma, Akhtar has not spoken much. He also had to go through a series of checks before being allowed to return to the homeland. The results of the last examination stated that all of his organs are functioning properly. Only until now Akhtar still has difficulty walking, his legs still feel stiff to move after a long enough sleep that he went through. Until now Akhtar still have to use a wheelchair to be able to move.

Madam Fatimah grabbed Akhtar's head into her arms, in every sentence that she said stored her sorrow and happiness mixed together. Happy because Akhtar is conscious and sad because his current situation looks very worrying. His life spirit seemed to be gone, his gaze was still empty. He seemed to have no purpose in life, empty.

"Assalamu'alaikum" someone was heard saying his greetings and entered the house where Akhtar and Bu Fatimah were at this time. Since his return from the land of Akhtar requested that the father take him to the house he bought for Bu Fatimah first. The house in the border area of Bandung Cimahi also looks cleanly maintained because every time to Bandung Bu Fatimah always routinely visit the house and take care of it. Mrs Fatimah who came from Garut immediately headed to the house after receiving news of Akhtar's whereabouts.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Fatimah Ma'am, he got up from his seat on the patio seat of the backyard where they are currently located. When the sun began to warm the earth, Ms. Fatimah deliberately brought Akhtar out to breathe cool air while warming her body in the morning sun which is good for Akhtar's health development.

From her voice, Fatimah knew that it was Ahsan. He let his guest in by himself and greeted him on the back porch.

"Taqaballahu minna wa minkum, Mother" Ahsan grabbed the hand of the fatimah mother and endured it with reverence. Replied with a gentle swipe at Ahsan's head by Fatimah Bu. The boy who used to live with him because his parents had to move around the task turned out to be an adult and reliable today.

"Taqabbal yaa Kariim" replied Bu Fatimah full haru. After shaking hands and apologizing to each other with fatimah, Ahsan approached Akhtar who was still in his position back to Ahsan.

"Bro, taqaballahu minna wa minkum yes" Ahsan said, he crouched down beside the wheelchair that Akhtar was sitting on and grabbed his shoulder from the side.

Akhtar turned to the side, looked at Ahsan and nodded his head with a faint smile on his lips. Just like with Ms. Fatimah, since Akhtar's return from abroad Akhtar has not talked much with Ahsan.

Ahsan parsed his embrace from Akhtar. He then sat the chair that had been occupied by Bu Fatimah and shifted it right opposite Akhtar.

"Bro, I don't know what you remember right now. I am glad you finally woke up from a coma. I hope you can start a new life better. It's hard but at least I tried"

"Lo knows Bro, I'm happy that I'm finally not married to Suraya" Ahsan smiled as he told Akhtar. Akhtar gave him a glance, there was a sharpness in Akhtar's eyes but a second later he turned his eyes straight ahead again.

"What happened after the accident?" Akhtar finally made a sound. A happy sparkle flashed in Ahsan's eyes, Akhtar finally spoke even though he missed his cousin and best friend very much.

"After your accident Raina and Omm Gunawan do not accept if you decide your marriage and Raina. Omm Gun said that she would tell Raina to wait for you to get well and continue with your wedding plans. But after Dad gave evidence that caused you an accident, Omm Gun was shocked. She did not expect that her proud daughter had such depraved behavior"

"Omm Gun begged me not to reveal this to the public. But it turns out the police first found your device at the accident site. Your car caught fire, a few minutes after Ghifar was helped by the people who managed to get you out of it. It was quite difficult because at that time the position of the car was reversed and you were unconscious"

"Ghifar immediately took you to the hospital and made the police take care of everything in the CTF. After a few days Ghifar and his father were called in for questioning. The police also gave me a memory card. But somehow the story of Raina's video in hp lo spread in cyberspace until finally the scandal of Raina's affair was spread and people concluded if it was what made you crash right on the wedding day lo"

"Raina was shocked when a video of her with her boyfriend spread across the virtual world. He had been sick and stressed, Omm Gun was angry he was really disappointed with Raina until his heart disease relapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital. He was treated long enough that time"

"Gue knew it all because I was still with Suraya, she didn't let go of me for a second. My agreement with his father that helped Papi get out of the case that ensnared him really made me powerless to say no"

"Gue resigned and did not care anymore about my life. Lo accident, Shanum is married to my good friend. I was fucked at that moment. I don't care about my future anymore, I want to marry Suraya or whoever I don't care about. Honestly, although I was crazy about Suraya, but now Suraya is different from the Suraya I used to know. Suraya is now a woman with a character that I have been avoiding. There was no more love in my heart for him. Either because of the pain of my heart when he chose to leave me or because of Shanum's presence in my life." Ahsan paused his words, at a glance he stared at Akhtar's increasingly cold face as he said about Shanum. Ahsan realized that her cousin still loved her first love so much.

"But it turns out that God loves me very much Bro, along with the revelation of Raina's scandal with her boyfriend to the public. It turns out that the behavior of Suraya while abroad was not much different from Raina. I don't know who leaked Suraya's secret to the reporters. A few days after Raina's video went viral, vulgar photos of Suraya with a male bully were posted on social media. I had a reason to leave Suraya, and I took the opportunity to uncover the truth about Papi, who had only been framed by his father Suraya to carry out his personal mission."

"Now Papi is completely free, even he got a promotion of promotion. Now his job is in the ministry in Jakarta. I am also free from Suraya. The last news I received, Omm Gun took all his family to move abroad. All of his assets here on sale including his position in the foundation were directly crossed off and replaced by others. Bokap Suraya was demoted and he said he chose early retirement, they moved out of town precisely to Sumatra his birthplace nyokapnya" There was a happy smile on Ahsan's face when conveying all that.

Akhtar still listened carefully to what Ahsan was saying. He digested well all the things he had been through for months due to a coma. But there is one thing that still holds up in Akhtar's heart and mind. How's Shanum doing after marriage?

To be honest he was still thinking about Shanum. I was eager to ask Ahsan. But his tongue was as though he was a mute, he knew enough of Shanum's current status. He was sure Shanum would greatly guard his limits.

"There is a sense that should not be expressed by the word, because it is more honorable if stored in the heart only. O Allah, teach me about the patience of Abraham and the sincerity of Ishmael, so that I do not always complain about the range of sweat, do not always give up if I have to lose. I'm sorry if this heart still loves people I should've forgotten." Akhtar murmured in his heart.
