Happy at the End of the Dusk
I don't know!!

Sometimes things that happen in your life come unexpectedly!.

...~Syeza Anastasia...

"Yes!! syeza!!"

There was the sound of uncle vino shouting after me, I didn't pierce him and continued to step.

"Yes!! stop and stay on your feet!!"

Uncle Vino came back screaming and I still didn't touch him.

I don't want to talk to anyone! I just want to get the hell out of here!.

"Syeza! I give you orders as your uncle not your bodyguard!"

Instantly my steps came to a halt when I heard uncle vino again shouting.

Uncle? akh iy! awake syeza! vino is your uncle not your bodyguard!.

I turned and looked towards him.

Vino uncle! uncle who has always been with me! but I don't even know him!.

"Come here! don't cry like that yeza!"

Uncle vino smiled as he spread out his hands welcoming me in his arms.

My tears soon grew louder when he heard her calling me yeza.

Yeza's? I miss that call!.

I ran towards him and hugged him tightly.

"Uncle? uncle vino?"

"This is uncle yeza!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry uncle! let alone to keep my promise, I don't even recognize you and forget about you! sorry, I'm sorry uncle"

Vino smiled then rubbed his nephew's head gently.

"No need to apologize! uncle understands your condition!"

"But wait, why did uncle hide this from me?!"

I let go of his embrace and squinted at him.

Uncle vino smiled slightly.

"Uncle apologise, just like your father! uncle hid the identity so that no one would find out about who the real uncle was!"

"And even your own nephew?! how could uncle hide it from me?! akh is it because I am not the desired niece in this family either?!"

"Sheza.....,!!"

"Akh one more! seven years ago uncle wasn't to amsterdam was he?"

"Uncle is there syeza!"

"really? akh but not just for education not"

Uncle vino was seen closing his eyes for a moment.

"Of course uncle was there for a strategy"

"Aakhh my father and uncle are indeed mysterious men!!"

"You regret it?"

I nodded slowly and then hugged her back.

"I know my uncle did his best! I just wanted to apologize for forgetting you! I'm a useless niece, right?"

"Huusss don't talk like that! you are one of the precious ones for uncle!"

Uncle vino stroked my head gently and smiled faintly.

"You remember? when you were a kid, if you and your brother had a fight and you cried, you would complain to uncle! and you'll stop crying if you're in uncle's arms! and your sister will mock you as a whiny, spoiled little girl! though behind the ledge he felt jealous because you prefer uncle's embrace than him!"

I'm laughing a little.

"Did uncle and brother ever fight?"

"Yah!"

Uncle vino nodded.

"Ouh? because?"

I let go of my embrace.

"Toy!"

Vino smiled slightly.

"Aakkh I never thought I'd fight with my niece just because of toys!!"

I'm smiling too.

"Then who gave up and who cried?"

"Of course it was uncle who gave up!"

"And the brother who cried?"

Vino nodded while chuckling.

"And she'll stop crying if she's in your arms!"

"Ouh?"

"Your brother is the kind of kid that's hard to tell! but he'll obey if you make a sound!"

"Is that how we are?"

"Very close!"

Vino looks bright.

"If he's sick, he just needs you to always be by his side and hold you tight! that way the fever will go down! akh you're like medicine to him!"

"But he who is now different from the one he used to be is not he? he's after my life! not the comfort that was created between us!"

I bowed and held back my tears.

"And if I ask about him, neither will uncle tell me? I have to find it myself, right? I'd love to meet him! no matter how dangerous it is now!"

Uncle vino was silent.

...----------------...

It's been a week since dad told me about his past and to this day I choose to lock myself in a room even with breakfast, lunch and dinner there is only dad, he said, uncle vino and ficral are spelled eating, I do not eat together so always delivered to the room by the assistant.

Father also chose to busy himself with the world of business and who often came to visit me in the room was just uncle vino and ficral.

Akh father doesn't even care about his daughter's condition!.

"Za?"

"Ficral?"

I opened the door and let him in.

"You haven't had dinner yet?"

Fikral glanced at the food lying on the table and walked up to me who was standing in front of the window.

"I have no taste for food"

"What's wrong? still thinking about it?"

"I just feel confused about Dad!"

"Don't think too much about it! hameed uncle might just need some time!"

"You know the fik?"

Fikral smiled.

"Uncle Vino just told me two days ago!"

"Do you also know who my brother is?"

"Uncle Vino just told me about his past uncle hameed and about your brother never mentioned!"

I just fell silent.

"Oh yes, I'm here to say goodbye!"

"Pamit? where are you going?"

"America!"

"america? you went to college there?"

"Yh za"

"Why so far away?"

"Would it be that far away you can catch up with me, right?"

I'm manyun.

"Aakhh I also really hope you give me permission to get out of this house and breathe some fresh air out there!"

Fikral smiled.

"Already, how about we call those in Jakarta? you haven't called them, have you? they must be waiting for news from you! moreover, the geisha bringer, he even asked you 12 x 24 hours!"

I'm laughing a little.

Fikral then took his phone from his pants pocket and contacted those in Jakarta.

"Sister ficral!! where have you been, huh?! why just called?! where is syeza?! did you give my message to sister syeza?!"

The sound of a geisha's sandals sounded so loud when the ficral phone was connected.

Apparently the geisha has returned to the real geisha! she's a strong girl, isn't she? may you still be a cheerful girl like this! I hope there are no more crying!.

"Aiss!! can't you not scream?! my ears hurt hearing your voice!!"

Fikral nagging.

"Close your ears then!! I didn't tell you to hear it!! hurry along! where's sister syeza?!"

Geisha looks sewot.

"Yah-iyh!! a minute!!"

Fikral then shifted a little towards me until my face was also seen on the screen of the ficral phone.

"Biggat!! missed you!!"

Geisha screaming.

I smile.

Inside the screen, you can see the faces of geisha, viera and fairuz....,

Akh is rayhan, right?.

Rayhan is seen sitting on his couch and focusing on his phone.

Why did I suddenly miss him?.

"Why are you missing the news huh?! I told you to call me when you get home but, to this day, your phone can't even be reached! good thing there's a ficral cuek!"

Fairuz.

"Ahahaha I'm sorry"

I nodded towards them.

"How are you guys doing there?"

"Good! very well! oh yeah bang, did al go to the bascamp often?"

"Al's? akh that man! it disappeared again! since the day you went home to the poor until today, he hasn't appeared in the bascamp!"

I'm speechless.

Where are you really? what the hell's going on? did it have anything to do with your embrace at the time? akh al, are you okay, right?.

"Did he not call you?"

"Not bang!"

"Aaiss that man!? you're how ficral"

"One week ago he called me but now his phone can't be reached anymore!"

"Aiss!! just look at it later, if I had met him I would have destroyed that hair he was proud of!!"

I'm laughing a little.

"Oh yeah I want to say goodbye too!"

"Where are you going, fik?"

Sound of viera.

"America!"

"america? you went to college there?"

Fairuz.

"Why is it so far away, brother? when will we get together again?"

Geisha looks sad.

"Geisha is a real fik, I really miss our togetherness! y'all know? bascamp is now very quiet like there are no residents!"

Fairuz is back.

"I miss you too!"

I looked at them with longing.

I really miss bascamp! longing for the togetherness and friendship that has been established! I miss the arguments and arguments between them! akh when else? when did that moment repeat itself? since the incident zidan died to this day, slowly from us one by one to go and start busy with their respective affairs! when will we get together again?.

"Aiss!! why are you guys so melow like this?! already-had!! it's starting the night!! you better get some rest!!"

Fikral.

We all just nodded silently and were only able to keep that longing deep until at the right time, it would be healed.

After the connection was cut, ficral then turned to look at me.

"I'm also saying yes"

"You're leaving now?"

"Yah! ten more minutes!"

I immediately hugged him and slowly the tears came out of my eyes.

Fikral just fell silent, took a slow breath, tightened my arms and stroked my hair gently.

No words were spoken, we only strengthened each other through hugs.

Fikral then let go of my embrace.

"Rest! it's already night! and don't forget about your dinner!"

I just smiled and nodded.

"I'm waiting for you to come home!"

Fikral smiled and nodded.

Fikral then held both of my shoulders.

"One thing you should know, I'm sure that hameed uncle must have a reason why uncle doesn't want you to know your brother!"

I just fell silent.

Fikral smiled then rubbed my head and stepped out.

I took a deep breath.

You're right fik! the reason for that is because my brother is aiming for my life!.
