Happy at the End of the Dusk
Zidan, I'm Coming!

~Basecamp

Three days after returning from New York, Geisha returned to Jakarta. The geisha slowly stepped inside the basecamp.

"Ray, have you been able to contact Sheza?" Fairuz turned towards Rayhan

"Not Ruz! The phone can't be called!"

"Akh where are they really? Alghifari who disappeared to this day has no news, Syeza too! And now? Geishas! Where's that little girl?!" Fairuz looks panicked.

Because, there is no news of Alghifari who has almost a month disappeared, then added Sheza and Geisha who have almost two weeks more disappeared.

"Akh Za, where are you? If it's just at home why are you so hard to call?!" Inner Rayhan

"Geisha?! It's Geisha Ruz!!" Viera looks happy and then moves to welcome the Geisha who is stepping in. Geisha just a little smile.

"Come here! Sit down!" Viera led Geisha to sit on one of the sofas.

"Sha what's wrong with you?! Why neck?! Your arms too?!" Viera was shocked when she saw the marks of the blow on the Geisha's body.

"What's wrong with you, huh?! You disappeared all of a sudden and went home in this state?! What's going on?!" Fairuz looked at the Geisha worriedly.

"Sorry..," Geisha looked down.

"I don't know if this news will make you happy or vice versa." Geisha is seen taking a deep breath and recounting the events in Alghifari's apartment to those who were taken to New York.

"The al?! That guy turned out to be Sheza's sister? That means, the enemy who has been eyeing the life of Sheza is his own brother? And that is Alghifari?! Then.., Mr Satrio is Uncle Hameed? Their father?! And Al is..., a CEO?! Wakh my head is dizzy thinking about this!!" Fairuz massaged his forehead.

"Sha since when did Al and Sheza know that they're sister's sisters?" Rayhan is making a sound

"Kak Sheza initially did know that he had an older brother but, Brother Sheza only found out his older brother was Brother Al after seeing the family photo in the room of Brother Al! While Mr. Al himself initially suspected Syeza and Mr. Al only found out the truth exactly three days after Mr. Sheza returned to Malang!"

"Wait, right on the day that Syeza and Fikral returned to Malang Alghifari also disappeared, right?!" Fairuz.

"Yes my brother"

"That means he's not missing anywhere but sitting in his apartment?"

"Maybe, but it does not rule out the possibility of Alghifari actually in New York! He was in his apartment probably when Syeza called him asking him to take him out of the house!" Viera is making a sound

"But what makes Al not accept Sheza? By knowing that Sheza is one of his best friends, it will be easier, won't it?" Viera looks confused

"It's not easy for Al" Geisha said

"Akh right! Al must be very disappointed! He must have thought why his sister was his best friend"

"Not only that but, Brother Al already loves Syeza as a grown man! That hurt Al the most!" Inner Geisha

"Then where is Sheza now Sha?" Viera looked towards the Geisha

"Kak Sheza is in unfortunate but, I think his condition is unstable! I mean, a lot of things happened beyond the expectations of Syeza! I'm sure he must have had a great argument with Uncle Hameed"

"Then Al?" Ask Rayhan

"Sir Al is still in New York! I think Al is also very hurt! Uncle Hameed was waiting for him to come see him!"

"Aargh that stupid guy!!" Fairuz looks worried

......................

~Base Camp (Three days after Geisha gets home)

Fairuz and Viera were seen getting ready, today they will take a test to study at the State University of Jakarta.

"Ray, are you going to Singapore?" Fairuz looked back at Rayhan who was sitting relaxing on the sofa

"Yes, maybe I'll leave in a week"

"You don't want to see Sheza first? There's a lot of stuff you have to talk about, right?"

"Akh about that, I don't want to bother him! Syeza must have taken some time to calm himself!I'll call him later after everything improves!"

"Eem okay!"

"Ruz?"

"Yes?" Fairuz turned towards Viera

"Al!"

"Al?" Fairuz is confused

"Yes, there's Al!"

Fairuz followed the direction of Viera's eyes.

Alghifari was seen stepping in.

"Where are you?!!" Fairuz, who no longer held back his anger, struck a punch in Alghifari's face.

"You made me have to hit you a second time! What did you do to Sheza and Geisha huh?! Is this your attitude as a brother and friend?! You realize who you're not torturing?! And you..., you're hiding a lot of things from us!! I really don't understand the way you think Al!!" Fairuz looks to be massaging his forehead

"Sorry..," said Alghifari lirih

"Don't apologize to me!! Go and meet Sheza and Geisha and apologize to them!!"

"For that I have come to ask you to accompany me to meet them"

"Are you a man or not?! Just to meet them you asked to be accompanied?! It's a responsibility you have to take care of yourself! I'm busy! Ask Rayhan to accompany you!" Fairuz then took his bag

"Where are you going Ruz?" Al asked as he looked at Fairuz who was wearing his bag.

"School!! I am not like you who have succeeded! I need a fight to get there!!" Answer the original Fairuz

"Come Vi!" Fairuz then walked away.

"Vi where's the Geisha?" Al held Viera's hand

Viera sighed then stared fixedly at Alghifari.

"Aahh I asked because I wanted to see him" Al replied as Viera just stood looking at him.

"Listen, make sure you apologize well to her! You understand?!"

"Yes" Alghifari nodded

"Geisha went to see Zidan!"

"Aaahh..," Alghifari then let go of Viera's hand.

"Why?" Viera asked as she looked at Al's change in expression

"It's okay! I'll see him next time! I don't want to interrupt his time with Zidan!"

"Al?"

"Heeem?"

"Can you see him?"

"Heeem? A geisha?"

"Yes! It's been almost three hours but, Geisha hasn't come home yet! I was going to see him but suddenly there was a call from college! I was asking Rayhan, but by chance you wanted to see him in my place? I'm just worried about Geisha for nothing"

"Geisha...., isn't it okay?"

Viera nodded.

"He left by hugging Zidan's picture frame! He didn't want to be accompanied so I let him go alone! I thought, she wants to spend some time with Zidan!"

"All right, I'll catch up with him"

"Eeemm, then I must go! And don't think too much about Fairuz's attitude! He was only worried about the condition of the three of you"

"Eeemm yes I understand" Alghifari nodded

Viera smiled then stepped away following Fairuz.

Alghifari was seen sighing, he then took a drink and sipped it.

"I don't think you feel guilty about what happened!" Rayhan the daritadi just silently stepped over to Alghifari.

"It's none of your business!!" Answer Al cuek

"It's none of my business?! Of course it's my business Al!! You hurt...,"

"Your ex-lover?!" Alghifari cut Rayhan's words and then poked at him.

"Remember Ray, we are now in a different position! You may still be her best friend but, don't forget that, you've become her ex-boyfriend! And me? I am her brother!!"

"Huh after you tortured her like that you still consider yourself a sister?!"

"Of course!! Why not?!" Alghifari smiled cynically

"I warn you, no more trying to get close to my sister!! I won't let you touch a hair again!! Look, I'm a psychopath!! I can kill you without getting my hands dirty!! My sister only I treat like that especially you who are nobody!!"

Alghifari then walked away.

Rayhan was seen clenching his hands.

"Are you feeling arrogant now that you're her brother? Let's see who's gonna win!!" Inner Rayhan

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

Thumpy footsteps slowly walked into the public cemetery, his body shaking violently with his hands hugging the picture frame and tightly grasping a red rose stem, he did not care about his hand-piercing duri. There were clearly drops of blood flowing from her tiny hands, after gathering her courage she decided to visit him after sending him to his final resting place.

The geisha stood staring at Zidan's grave long enough, his gaze blank! Now he is silenced by a longing that never meets again. The girl tried to hold back her cries, she smiled slightly and fell down before the tomb of the man she loved, the man who was now silent and grounded.

Carefully he placed a red rose with the rest of his blood on the flower on Zidan's headstone, hugging Zidan's picture frame tightly.

"Zidan, I'm coming!" Geisha whisperer

"You okay? You happy there? You're not in pain anymore, are you? I..., I miss you!!" He could no longer hold it, Geisha closed her eyes with one hand and then, biting her lips so that her cries could not be heard.

"Sorry, I just met you now! I'm sorry I needed more courage just to come greet you! A lot of things are happening outside of my control Zid!"

"I.., I'm trying to forget you! I'm trying to accept the fact that you're no longer breathing on the same earth as me! I'm trying to be okay but in fact, no! I'm not okay Zid! I can't accept this fact easily!" The girl's cries began to sound

"Zid you know? A few weeks ago when I sent you away, I convinced myself with one full conviction that I would meet you again in His eternity but, that day was too long for me! And I thought I'd be strong once you'd cut without a wave of hands, I thought I was able to get through the day painlessly but in fact, I was cheating myself, I was, to deny all the silence that dwells in the chest. Sorry for unknowingly, I invited drizzle to be the rainy season on the face page until it was soaking wet every time I remembered you!"

"Why is the universe so evil with our destiny? Why would he take you for granted without thinking about how I live my days?!"

A few minutes passed by the girl was still crying, her crying did not stop.

"Sha..," Alghifari stepped over to the Geisha who was still lying in front of Zidan's tomb

"I want to be alone, brother!" Reply Geisha without looking towards Al

"Do you want to hear the story of twilight, the full moon and the star eleanor?" Ask Al

There was no reply from the Geisha, Alghifari smiled and continued his sentence.

"So, dusk so admired the full moon that he was willing to fade the color for the arrival of the full moon. But dusk did not know that it turned out, the full moon put its heart on eleanor the star. At first he doesn't know, but one day before dusk fades, he jokes with the sun and accidentally tells the romance story of the full moon and the star eleanor, that is why the color of twilight sometimes reddened like blood"

"Because he's hurt?" Geisha Sahut

"It is true, but dusk cannot do anything because it has become the law of nature. He realized that he would only be mediating the arrival of the full moon to meet his lover eleanor the star!"

"Then you know who never leaves twilight?"

The curious geisha wiped away her tears and looked back at Al waiting for the man to continue his sentence

"The sky!!" Al answered with a smile

"You know what the sky teaches at twilight? The sky teaches twilight how to give and receive! Like he who accepts twilight as it is!! Dusk comes without excuse and goes away without saying goodbye leaving a thousand memories attached to the heart! However, the sky will still wait for dusk to come back!!"

"You know what to do, don't you? I'm not asking you to forget all about him! But be sincere and accept it! Let the full moon be with Eleanor the star of her beloved! In your life there are still many heavens that will always receive you!"

"Can I?" Ask the Geisha with a purau voice

"Eeem yes! You can definitely! I believe!"

Geisha just smile.

"Sister Al is right Zid! In the end we are just a story that is finished without starting! But can I go through everything?" Inner Geisha

Slowly Alghifari sat in front of the Geisha.

"Sha, I'm sorry! Sorry for everything that has happened lately! I'm sorry I dragged you into my trouble"

"No brother! Don't apologize! I understand how you are! You must be very hurt too, right?!"

Geisha smiled and held Al's hand.

"Meet sister Sheza and uncle! Finish your business with them all right!"

"Eeemm yes!" Alghifari nodded

"We're going home, right? It's starting afternoon! Let Zidan rest! We'll see him again!"

The geisha smiled and nodded, standing up and being led by Al.

"Zid rest!! I'm home!" Inner Geisha
