Happy at the End of the Dusk
Losing 2

'The truth is that the deepest hurt is not to love without being loved, not the one who does not want to be waited for, nor is he who asks you to learn to love others, it is he who goes away forever with love and hope and leaves wounds that will not be healed'

                             ~Geisha Al - Ahkam

~British School Boarding

Geisha sat pensively in the garden behind the Dormitory, she really became a quiet girl and always cried, Zidan's request which frustrated him, making the wound in his heart deeper.

"Ah Zidan why are you doing this to me? Why ask me to learn to love another man? I can't Zidan! I can't fulfill your request!" Inner Geisha.

"Remove your tears! Don't keep crying like that!"

The geisha wiped the tears and turned.

"Sister Al?"

"Follow me!"

"Where?" Geisha wrinkled eyebrows.

"Can you come along without asking too many questions?"

"I wouldn't have come with you if you hadn't told me where we were going!"

Alghifari fell silent and looked closely at the Geisha.

"Ah I don't understand Zidan, why did you leave the Geisha to me? What truth are you hiding?" Inner Alghifari.

"Why look at me like that?"

"You know who I am? So don't argue too much!" Alghifari then walked away.

The geisha gulped then snorted in annoyance and stepped following Alghifari.

"Why are we going to the hospital?" Geisha get off Alghifari motor.

"May you be strong with this reality!" Inner Alghifari.

"Just enter! You'll know!" Alghifari then got off his bike and stepped inside however, Geisha was still standing pensive.

"Ah why did I suddenly feel bad?" His inner.

"Why are you still standing there? You don't want to go in?" Alghifari turned towards the Geisha.

"Oh yes, brother!" Geisha rubbed his chest and followed Alghifari.

When down the hospital hallways suddenly Geisha's footsteps stopped, he again held his chest which suddenly felt tight and unconsciously his tears began to flow without being in command.

"What's wrong with me? Why does it hurt so much? What the hell is going on?" Inner Geisha.

He held his chest firmly withstanding the pain that suddenly attacked him. Alghifari then stopped his steps when he felt the Geisha did not follow his steps, he then turned towards the Geisha.

"Why stop?" The geisha did not answer, he just stood pensively with tears flowing.

Alghifari then approached him.

"I asked why did you stop?!" Alghifari asked, but Geisha stood still.

"Geisha?!!" Alghifari.

"What are you doing?!"

"I...., I don't know! I don't know brother! My legs suddenly felt heavy to step on, my chest suddenly felt tight! What the hell is going on? I don't know it's just that it hurts so much for me!" Geisha took a deep breath.

"Am I crazy, brother? Why did it suddenly become like this? Sick sister...., my heart really hurts a lot!" The geisha began to cry and was confused, he lowered his head and hit his chest softly which felt tight.

"Geisha look at me!!" Alghifari hugged both shoulders of the Geisha and made the girl look at her brown netra.

"What's up, brother?! What the hell's going on? I...., Aakh I don't know....."

Alghifari took a slow breath and wiped away the Geisha tears.

"Whatever happens, I believe you're a strong girl!" Alghifari then clasped the Geisha's hand and led her down the hospital hallways, Geisha took a breath, wiped away the rest of her tears that did not want to stop and then she just fell silent following Alghifari's footsteps in silence, the hand was able to calm him. Upon reaching the room, Alghifari let go of his hand. Geisha look wrinkled eyebrows when they find friends who are crying,

Viera who was sitting crying on the bench and Fairuz who was standing next to him was seen crying then, Fikral who still occasionally punched the wall and continued to blame himself.

The geisha glanced at Alghifari asking for an explanation but Alghifari only gave a small nod towards the Geisha.

"Sister?" Geisha walked over to Viera.

"Geisha?" Viera stood up.

The geisha grasped Viera's hands and wiped away her tears.

"What's up, brother? Why are you crying? Where's Syeza? Rayhan's brother?"

"Zidan Sha.., Zidan"

"Zidan's? What's wrong with her? Akh has he come back?" Geisha eyeballs that are covered by tears look sparkling.

Viera just nodded slowly.

"Where is Zidan's brother?"

"Inside"

"Inside?"

Viera just nodded.

The geisha who looked happy immediately ran in while smiling cheerfully.

Viera took a deep breath and stepped inside following the Geisha.

The sound of the door opening makes Sheza and Rayhan momentarily turn towards the door, seen Geisha step in with a cheerful smile followed by Viera and Alghifari.

"We're out, right? Give time to the Geisha" Rayhan said.

Sheza just nodded.

Rayhan then leads him out with Sheza still in his arms.

Alghifari glanced for a moment at Rayhan and only took a slow breath.

Those sparkling eyes suddenly disappeared and became dim just like that as the Geisha's eyes intently watched Zidan's final struggle, the smile also disappeared along with Zidan's last smile that he fought to be seen by the Geisha even though it was very late and his smile looked very thin but, Zidan still wanted to smile for the girl who was standing in confusion in front of him. With eyes dimmed, Geisha slowly grasped Zidan's cold hands and began to stiffen, the man was not even able to return the grip of his hand.

"What's up Zid? What the hell is going on? Why is your whole body in this device?" Geisha started to look panicked.

Zidan only smiled a little towards the Geisha and that was his last smile.

A painful farewell! No words said, no greeting after long enough they did not meet, and on the contrary there was no goodbye, no explanation about the disappearance of Zidan, no explanation, only a thin curve of Zidan's pale lips attempted to calm the panicked-looking Geisha, then Zidan slowly began to close his eyes perfectly, turning a blind eye for eternity and from today on, the story between them ends, the story of the Geisha who loved Zidan without being loved, the story of the Geisha who always faithfully waited for Zidan, and the, the story of the Geisha who never forced Zidan to love him again and the story of Zidan who began to open his heart and love the Geisha but destiny hindered the story between them. Fate does not even allow them to greet each other, it only allows the last little smile for their story, the little smile that takes away their love story and leaves sadness.

"No Zidan!! I beg!!" The geisha clasped Zidan's hand tighter, not wanting to let it slip out of his hand, a hand that already looked very pale, cold, and stiff. The hand that could no longer return his grasp.

"Zidan you're listening to me, aren't you? Please open your eyes!! You...., you once said that you wanted me to call you by brother's call, right? I want to do it now so, listen to me carefully and open your eyes!!" The geisha wiped away her tears and took a slow breath.

"Sister, brother Zidan I love you brother! Open your eyes, brother!! You're listening to me, aren't you? I....., I've done what you want, brother, what...., do you think it's too late? Say it!! Am I late to do it? Aakh I'm late, aren't I?" Geisha tears are flowing again.

"Sister, I know I'm late but you want to forgive me right? Sis...., are you mad at me? If you're not angry, you'll open your eyes! I beg you.., I'm afraid brother, you're scaring me brother" Geisha then wiggled Zidan's body.

"Wake Zidan!! Look, I wouldn't call you by brother's call if you still closed your eyes like this! Zidan!! You can't just go and leave me like this! Open your eyes, Zidan! What the hell are you doing?! Why are you still closing your eyes?! Aren't you listening to me?! I told you to open your eyes!! Zidan open your eyes!! I don't want you to close your eyes like this!"

The geisha grew louder and shook Zidan's body and cried hysterically.

"Sha relax!" Viera pulled the Geisha and hugged her.

"Sister..., Zidan sis!" Geisha crying.

Viera just cried while rubbing Geisha's hair trying to calm her down.

The sisters then removed the tools attached to Zidan's body and the body was covered in white cloth.

As the white cloth covered Zidan's face, Alghifari was seen turning the other way and wiping away his tears.

Viera then takes the Geisha out to follow Alghifari. Fairuz then turned his head towards Alghifari, Alghifari only gave a small nod.

"Ruz, Ray can you take them home? Wait at basecamp! I'll take care of Zidan's body"

Rayhan and Fairuz nodded.

Alghifari then went to the doctor and took care of Zidan's body to bring home.

Fairuz and Rayhan then took us out of the hallway, a passageway that witnessed the end of Zidan's story.

~Basecamp

A sad afternoon, an afternoon that should be decorated with twilight full of beauty, splendor and happiness but, this time even dusk did not want to show its splendor in the orange sky, or, he chose to hide behind a cloud.

Drizzles of rain began to pour down on the earth, as if to show that the sky was grieving for Zidan's departure.

Sheza, the girl took a breath and looked around her, seen Alghifari, Fairuz and Rayhan who were busy serving guests who arrived and taking care of other needs and were helped by some British School children, who were also helping the girls, there were also some men in suits standing guard like security guards.

They must be his father's assistants. And in the room they used to gather, Viera was accompanying the Geisha who sat pensively in front of Zidan's body, seen, there were some British School children and also some residents who were carrying yasin and then Fikral, ah the man chose to lock himself in the room. He could not accept the fact that Zidan was gone forever and continued to blame himself. This fact is too painful to accept. Sheza then stepped over to Viera and Geisha.

"Sha" Sheza clasped his hand.

The geisha looked back with tears that never stopped flowing. Sheza smiled slightly and hugged her, Geisha then sobbed in her arms.

Sheza closed his eyes for a moment and let go of his embrace and wiped away the Geisha tears.

"I know you're a strong girl" he said, opening the cloth that covered Zidan's face, his tears suddenly flowed when he saw Zidan's calm face, he smiled at Zidan's body.

"You seen Sha? Zidan looks so calm! He no longer felt the pain that spread throughout his body, the pain was gone forever".

Yeah! Together with him, not only is the pain gone, but Zidan is gone forever!.

Sheza took a breath and again covered Zidan's face with the cloth and then turned back to the Geisha.

"Don't cry like this in front of Zidan Sha, you'll make Zidan feel sad because he can't wipe away your tears"

Geisha are getting sobbing.

Sheza then wiped her tears.

"Huuss don't cry anymore"

The geisha nodded and her hands lifted and wiped away her best friend's tears.

"Nor don't cry anymore!"

"Ahaha yes" Sheza smiled and wiped away her tears.

"Vie, ysha, I'll stay a while and see Ficral's condition"

Viera and Geisha nodded.

Sheza then stood up and walked slowly towards the room in Fikral. He opened the door slowly and then closed it again, in the room Fikral was seen standing pensively in front of the window, his eyes were fixed towards the park behind the basecamp but the eyes were empty.

"You don't want to go out?"Sheza asked, and he sat on the bed

Fikral only turned his head for a moment and refocused. Sheza smiled slightly and walked up to him.

"I understand how you feel but this is Fik's last, you haven't seen Zidan in two weeks since he disappeared, meet him for the last time! He'll get hurt if you keep shutting yourself up like this!"

"It's too much Za, this reality is too painful to accept! Zidan left suddenly!" Fikral then took a breath.

"It's all my fault, Za! Had I known that she was sick, things wouldn't have ended like this, would they? Zidan will definitely stay with us! All because of my mistake!"

"No Ficral! Don't blame yourself like this! Everything has become your destiny not your fault!"

"Then how will I explain to uncle? Uncle will definitely be very disappointed, I can't even take good care of Zidan!"

"You did your best! I definitely won't blame you so, please don't blame yourself like this!"

Fikral just fell silent.

"In a minute we're going to get into the funeral, come out for a minute!" He said again then stepped out leaving Fikral who was still standing pensive.

                         ************

The afternoon began to move, the footsteps began to move to deliver Zidan's body to his final resting place, the footsteps accompanied by tears of sadness, and the, the footsteps were accompanied by a drizzle of rain that was still soaking the earth. When the footsteps came out to deliver Zidan's body, Sheza stopped his steps and briefly looked back to see if Fikral was in the group or not.

"Ah Fikral really doesn't want to go out to join Zidan's funeral?" His inner.

"Leave it, Fikral just needs time!"

Sheza turned towards Fairuz who was smiling towards him, smiling back and nodding small.

As the ground began to cover Zidan Geisha's corpse back sobbing, Sheza pulled him and hugged him tightly.

"Zid, this hurts a lot more! You go and this time for eternity! When again? When will I see you again? When's? When's Zidan? This will be my last!" Inner Geisha.

The geisha then fainted.

"Sha, Geisha!!" Sheza tries to support the Geisha's body.

"Ray borrow your car, you can use my bike later! I'll take the Geisha first" Fairuz said.

Rayhan nodded.

Fairuz then took Geisha's body and took her home in Rayhan's car.

The trembling hands wiped the eyes of those who were still swollen when Zidan's tomb was already perfectly visible with his tombstone.

ZIDAN ELSIRAJ

"It hurts so much to read his name written on a tombstone, it's like a dream! Are you really gone forever? Wh why? Why so fast? We're even planning to have a farewell, aren't we? But, you've even left first! You're planning on going to Landon's, aren't you? I even prepared everything for you! Oh my God, this is too fast!" Inner Sheza

See you Zidan Elsiraaj's. Thank you for being part of his love story Geisha, thank you for being part of the color Painting Twilight, thank you for your life story that became part of their story.
