Gita Dusk Geetruida
Don't Be Outside the Boundaries

Again Mangata visited Geetruida, later the handsome young man was keen to fight for his blessing for the fate of his romance. This time, his son intentionally stayed. Cleaning every corner of the tiny Geetruida house, fixing the roof, painting the walls, tidying the yard around, accompanying him activities also cook for him. The sweet boy did no less sweet things for Geetruida, but .. how could Geetruida's heart be swayed?

"You still don't want to see your only niece get married, Mam? Glad I'm nicknamed the weathered bujang, is that it?" mangata fishing rods as he invites Geetruida to relax by the lake one afternoon.

"Hah, listen Mangata ... Which parents do not want their children who are married, have a family? You've often urged me to immediately have a companion, right? But ... not Arunika. Another girl, can you?" reply Geetruida indifferently.

"Oh mamiii, I love to die with Arunika. Is love really the kind of light switch that can be on-off so it can move to another switch?"

"You can, if you want!" sahut Geetruida while throwing pebbles into the lake. Mangata followed Geetruida, he also threw some pebbles.

"Right, but don't you have a little empathy for me, hm? It's just because I still want to cherish you as the only family I have. Until I get tired, I think I will still marry Arunika with or without your blessing" Mangata said intimidatingly.

Geetruida hid his head into the hands resting on his knees, "If you know why, you will understand" Geetruida said.

"You always say that, you wish I understood but you yourself are reluctant to tell me your reasons. You think I'm a psychic, what?"

Hicks ... hiks .... Geetruida began to sob.

"Hey, Mi ... Is that so much your reason, Mi?" mangata's voice softened, he gently stroked Geetruida's back. Mangata still remembers Geetruida being the wife of his father Amar several years ago. How the woman who is still very beautiful in middle age patiently takes care of her father during illness until death. One last request of his father was to accept Geetruida, call her mami, make her happy and not let this woman cry.

"Your mama's life is very hard, son. At least when I can no longer be his life companion, never hurt him let alone make him cry. Poor thing, fate has been so cruel to him," so his father's words that sound simple but in fact .. ah, even this afternoon Mangata has denied his father's request.

"W-w-w-would I be too much?" asked Mangata which he might more accurately ask himself.

After a while Geetruida lifted her head and wiped her tears, "Actually not really but ... for this matter, I must firmly reject your relationship with the girl" Geetruida said.

"Do you need this?" Mangata pulled out a pack of cigarettes and took the lighter. 1 stick he pulled the tip slightly and then thrust the object to Geetruida .

Geetruida shook her head, "No, I don't smoke other than in private places, the stigma of our society against women who smoke is still negative, I don't want people to judge me badly" she said.

Mangata smiled obliquely, "You are at home or outside the house, just the same. Why cover something like that for the sake of others' judgments of us?"

"Hm, alright for this time," Geetruida pulled out a full 1 stick that popped and Mangata lit the lighter and Mangata also picked up a stick and lit a cigarette for herself.

"You? When did you become a smoker?" Geetruida.

"I know, this thing has been your true friend for years. With the smoke billowing your inner scream evaporates, like that until you don't seem to need someone for you to share."

Geetruida smiled, "But you're a doctor, Mangata."

"True, is there a rule doctors should not smoke too? No, for this time I am willing to bear the consequences of what I did, just like you."

"You mean?"

Mangata began to suck and exhaled smoke from his mouth as Geetruida did.

"Huuuh, can't I do the same with you? I am also in a state that ... I hope someone understands my heart but I am reluctant to share it with him, either out of shame, condolence or .. angry, perhaps? I'm just trying to dive into how every struggle that seems 'finished' with every butts that leaves this ash. Uhuk ... uhuk ...." Mangata coughed because it was unusual and it was only this time sucking the cursed object. 'Hah, do not know where it can make opium, ' he wrote in his heart.

"Have, don't start anything that shouldn't," Geetruida snatched the newly burned white bar about 10% of it from Mangata's fingers and immediately sucked on the thing.

"Hey .. that's my mouth, '" Mangata protested.

"So, what's the problem? I said stop doing something that is not useful before you get addicted like me" Geetruida said.

"Pech gehad (shit)!" mangata Ovecat.

"I'm sorry, Mangata is all for your good" Geetruida said softly.

"Even though you have said you will marry her with or without my blessing, let your heart be burdened by my objections, Mangata." Geetruida.

"Why first? W-how about I say, if ... Arunika is carrying my seed?" say Mangata slowly.

"Haha, don't make it up. I know you're not that stupid. Remember, stop before you start something useless for you and don't get out of bounds, Mangata!"

"Well, that reason didn't work out."

"I know it's just your wits."

"How did you know?"

"Somehow, it's hard for me to explain why I know that you're trying to fool me, Haha. Honestly, Arunika is indeed a good girl and right for you, unfortunately .. she's Sagara's girl."

"From yesterday I also nanya, why is it that if he is the son of Mr. Sagara, you always just kink. This time let everything sort out quickly, please explain. If indeed your reason makes sense then I will accept with all humility. I promise," Mangata pointed her little finger at Geetruida.

"Find me with your girl's father, so I can confirm something, hopefully my hunch is wrong" Geetruida reluctantly linked her pinky to Mangata.

"Hm .. tap.

your premonition was right. Gini deh, this is between us, just give oneuuuu reason of your hunch, at least so that I as you said earlier 'burdened' to think about your objection."

"Are you ready?" ask Geetruida.

"Ready-be!"

"Why am I being stubborn?" chirps Geetruida doubtful.

"Ck. Don't buy time or do you want us to sleep by the lake tonight?" mangata Response.

"It seems not bad, may also occasionally feel so homeless, hihi" Geetruida laughed happily.

"I'm serious, Mi. I even purposely did not go to work to be with you and talk to you like this."

"How long have you been allowed?"

"As long as you keep that secret."

"Well, you stubborn kid!"

"Hey, don't get me wrong .. you start!" reply Mangata annoyed.

"If I don't tell you?"

"Yes, tomorrow morning I will marry Arunika."

"Don't!"

"Don't you? Who are you, what right do you have to forbid me to marry my beloved girl?"

"A-you're sure, the girl's father is blessing your relationship?"

"Ck, I've said many times, they don't matter, only you make things difficult!"

"I ... complicate it?" geetruida asked half-whispered.
