Happy at the End of the Dusk
Congregate

Sheza stared at the house in front of him and then glanced at the paper he was holding, making sure the address was correct.

"How can I get in?"

Sheza looks confused and is about to check the gate but, he looks shocked when he finds the gate is not in the lock.

Slowly he opened the gate and walked in. Ah in his memory, his house did not change still the same as it was fifteen years ago.

Sheza also looks confused when he finds a car parked in the yard of the house.

"Is there anyone here? Who's occupying it? Uncle said this house has not been sold by the father and is uninhabited"

Sheza who was curious immediately stepped up to open the door of the house however, his hand came to a halt as the door opened from within and a woman in her 50s stepped out.

Sheza was silent, ah he remembered the face of the gospel woman, he recognized her well.

"Syeza?" Ask the woman in a soft voice.

"Are you really Sheza?" Eyes glazed.

Sheza just nodded small.

"Ohh my daughter!!" The woman spontaneously hugged Sheza tightly, she even cried.

"Mother mother! You all right?!" He let go of his embrace and gently rubbed his daughter's hair.

Sheza was silent.

"Akh you must be confused, right?" The woman smiled a little.

"No!" Sheza replied while shaking.

"You know me?"

"Yes! I still remember my mother's face well! When the mother smiles it looks very similar to the smile of Brother Al!" Sheza held back her tears.

"I..., I'm just confused is this just a dream? I still can't believe that my mother is standing in front of me! Hiks.., hiks.., hiks" Sheza bowed and cried.

"No dear! Your mother is right now in front of you!" Erlina again hugged her calming daughter in her arms.

"I...., I miss you mom!"

Erlina nodded while gently rubbing her daughter's back.

"Let's go in!" After Erlina calmed down and took her daughter in, Sheza wiped her tears and sat down on the sofa.

"Drink" Sheza nodded then took a drink from her mother's hand and took a slow sip.

"When did you come? You been here a long time?"

Erlina asked, taking a drink from her daughter and keeping it on the table.

"No mom! I've only been here two days"

"Where do you live?"

"At the hotel"

"Where are your father and uncle?"

"Well, I left them!"

"Leave them? What's that supposed?" Erlina looks confused

"Father and uncle don't know where I am!"

"You ran away from home?" Syeza

"No mom! I asked my father for permission to give me some alone time and then, I disappeared from them!"

"Aahh what happened?"

"Many mothers! I've been hiding a lot of things from me!"

"Do you know that?"

"Ouh? You know that too?"

"Eemm yes! Before your father and mother lost communication your father had time to tell mom that he was hiding a lot of things to you! Mom also told him to tell you the truth, I didn't expect your dad to tell you just now!" Erlina smiled slightly.

Sheza was silent.

"But I'm grateful you haven't met your sister!"

"I've met him!"

"What?!" Erlina looks shocked.

"We went to the same school, we were even classmates!" Syeza smile.

"You all right?! He didn't do anything that hurt you, did he?!" Erlina looked worried

"No mom! We are good friends! He cares about me so much!" Syeza.

He did not want to tell the real story.

"Aahhh thank goodness!" Erlina looks relieved

Sheza just smiled a little.

"Did Al know you were his sister?" Syeza just nodded

"You guys okay? You know that too, don't you? Your brother's after your life and he's a...,"

"Psychopath!" Connect with Syeza while smiling

"Do you also know anything about it?"

"Yes mother! I've even watched for Brother Al to do the action!" Sheza just grinned

"What's going on? how come?"

"At first Brother Al just wanted to channel his desire to kill! I followed him and watched him live! But I also helped her resist her wishes!" Syeza smiled

"He didn't hurt you, did he?"

"Almost! But everything's fine!" Sheza laughed a little.

"Aaahh thank goodness! Then how is your relationship after knowing the truth? All right?"

Sheza shook little.

"I don't think Brother Al can accept the fact that I'm his sister! I don't understand what the reason is but, I'm also sure it must be very hard for Brother Al! I believe slowly Brother Al will definitely take it well!" Sheza smiled bitterly

"Don't worry your brother just needs time!" Erlina smiled then clasped her daughter's hand.

Sheza smiled and nodded.

"Then what about mom? You've been living here all this time?"

"Aah new mom is here for a month! Mom was on a remote island owned by Al!"

"Sir Al holds mom there?! Mama is okay?! Mom is okay, isn't she?! Brother Al didn't hurt mom, did he?!" Sheza looked worried and felt her mother's body to make sure she was okay.

"Ahaha no dear! Your brother purposely brought you to live there so that your father wouldn't meet you!"

Sheza looks to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then grandpa? Does Grandpa still live in his house? I had wanted to see him at home but, I still doubt how to deal with him after all these years!" Sheza laughed a little.

"Your grandfather died two months ago!"

"Huh?! What does mother mean?"

"That's why mom's in this house! Your grandfather was a late-stage stroke, his body was immovable! He can lie in bed! After your grandfather died your brother told his bodyguards to release mother!"

"Sister Al came home to the landon when grandfather died?"

"He came home the day before your grandfather died! Your grandfather asked him to meet her! He asked your brother to take you to see him, your brother is so angry that your grandfather always asks to see you every day! But after your grandfather died your brother was so frustrated, after the funeral he locked himself in his room for three days!"

"After that he rushed back to Indonesia! He also did not meet his mother when usually if he came, he would always meet his mother even though there was no chat and just stared from afar!"

Sheza just fell silent and wiped his tears.

"Can I go see Grandpa?"

"of course! But if I may ask, will you wait until Al comes? Let him take you to see your grandfather, even if it's too late at least it can reduce his guilt"

"Eemm fine, I'll go with Brother Al later"

Erlina smiled and rubbed her daughter's hair.

"I'm sorry, son!" Erlina

"Why are you apologizing?" Sheza held her mother's hand back.

"If only you trusted your mother everything would be fine! Our family will not be separated, your mother will still be alive! You and your sister will be fine too! All this is because of mother's fault!"

"Mother.., mother is innocent in this! Everything is out of our control! Most importantly now everything will be fine and we will regroup!"

Erlina nodded and smiled slightly.

"I'll call dad!"

"You want to tell your father?"

"Eeem yes! I taught him enough!"

"Hallo Sheza!! Where are you?! You all right?! Your father and brother went to see you at his markaz in Jakarta but, you weren't there! We just found the ex-room you used! where are you actually?! Tell dad!!Why did it disappear?!"

Elhameed spoke at length as his phone connected.

"So calm! Slow down! Sheza will be confused to respond!" Vino who was standing next to her brother tried to calm her down who looked agitated.

Sheza just laughed.

Elhameed sounded to take a deep breath.

"Dad apologize for everything that happened! I'm not gonna keep anything from you anymore! Tell me where are you, son?"

"Landon!"

"Landon?!" Elhameed looked shocked

"Yes! I now have my father's house with my mother!"

"Huh?! Home with your mother?!"

"Yes dad! Listen up!" Sheza then thrust his phone forward asking his mother to make a sound.

"Meed...,"

"Er..., Erlina?" Elhameed was flabbergasted when he heard a soft voice calling out to him softly.

"Syeza are you really with your mother?!"

"I'm not lying dad!"

"Aaahh alright! You wait there! Wait, I'm with your uncle and brother will be there!"

"All right!" Sheza smiled and switched off her phone just like that when her father was about to speak again.

Erlina looks small to see her daughter teasing her father.

"Ah her attitude is very similar to yours Elisha!" Inner Erlina

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

"Vino prepare! Ask Al to get ready too!"

"Good brother!"

Elhameed smiled happily and then walked away.

"Uncle what's wrong with dad?" Ask Al who just came.

"Your father is happy!" Said Vino with a smile

"happy?!" Al was confused

"Eeem! You should also get ready soon!" Vino hit Al on the shoulder and then walked away

"Prepare for what uncle?!" Al asked while pursuing his uncle's footsteps.

"We're going to Landon!"

"Landon?! For?!"

"Walking to your mother and sister!"

"Well?!" Al's steps stopped

"What's Al?!" Vino stopped his steps and turned to look at Al.

"Father and uncle only! I'll wait here!"

"No Al! We'll go together!"

"Can I not come?!" Al asked in a soft voice.

Vino then stepped closer to Al and held both of his shoulders.

"Al uncle knows this is still hard for you! But you have to face it anyway!" Vino patted Al slowly on the shoulder and then walked away.

Alghifari was seen taking a deep breath.

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

Alghifari sat pensively in a jet that carried him flying towards a heart he was not ready to meet, a heart he should not have loved so much that he found this painful wound.

Alghifari looks rough and rubs her face.

"What's wrong with you, my son? I noticed you were so nervous! Is there something you're thinking about?" Elhameed patted his son's shoulder and sat down beside him.

Alghifari looked back for a moment at his father and looked up at the night sky Landon was beginning to see.

"Akh is only a few minutes away!! Relax Al!!" Inner Alghifari

Elhameed smiled as he looked at his returning son looking extremely agitated.

"Al listen! Whatever you're worried about, whatever you're upset about, it'll all be treated if you learn to accept fate freely! And remember, not all destiny hurts!"

Elhameed stood up.

"Be prepared! We have arrived!"

"Dad!" Al held his father's hand that was about to step out.

Elhameed turned his head, Alghifari was only silent with his hand still holding his father's hand.

"Come down! Your mother and sister are waiting!"

Elhameed let go of his son's grasp and stepped out.

Alghifari sat pensively, then glanced outwards clearly his jet was leaning over the rooftop of his father's house. He took a breath and then moved and stepped out

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

Sheza smiled and opened the door to welcome the three most important men in her life. It was obvious Elhameed stood up with a smile full of happiness, then stepped in followed by Vino and Alghifari. Erlina smiled and walked up to Elhameed and kissed his hands softly and for a long time, her tears even flowing, Elhameed smiled then rubbed Erlina's palm gently Erlina looked up at Elhameed, and looked up at her, it was clearly a deep longing that had been for many years hidden. Elhameed then kissed Erlina's forehead lovingly, ah needless longing spoken with words, just with a soft hand kiss, a soft one, in reply with a kiss full of love and eyes that save the longing, make the sense channeled to the owner miss.

Erlina then turned to look at Vino who was standing next to her husband.

"Vino..," Call Erlina while holding her sister's hand.

Vino's eyes glazed over, he hugged his sister tightly, Erlina cried and patted her on the back gently.

"How are you? Are you okay, brother?" Vino asked as he let go of his embrace.

"Eeem brother is fine! You are this old!" Erlina smilingly looked at her only sister who had grown into a handsome adult man.

Erlina turned to look at her son who was standing behind her husband and sister.

"Al..," Call Erlina

Alghifari looked up at the mother with guilt.

"Come here!" Erlina spread out her hands welcoming her son in her arms.

Alghifari slowly walked up to her mother and hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry.., I'm sorry Al mom! Sorry.., Al sorry" Al said in a soft voice.

"Already, don't think too much! Let the things that pass by pass!" Erlina said as she rubbed her son's back.

Alghifari nodded then let go of her embrace.

"Syeza you don't want to hug me?" Elhameed chirps as he looked at his daughter who was just standing still.

"No dad! I just want to hug my uncle!" Sheza said with a smile and hugged his uncle.

"Elhameed just chuckled.

"Uncle are you okay? Dad doesn't overwhelm you, does he?" Vino just chuckled and nodded and rubbed his nephew's hair.

"Dad overwhelmed him even that was because of you!" Connect Elhameed.

Sheza just turned the eyeball lazily.

"Al don't you want to say hello to your sister?" Erlina asked who saw her son just standing still.

Alghifari did not respond, he only caught a glimpse and then threw away his face.

"What's wrong with her? Why does she look so sick staring at her sister?" Inner Erlina

"Al?" Erlina touched her son's hand.

"Let's Lin, maybe they need some time to chat together!" Elhameed

Erlina simply nodded then let go of her hand.

"Ah Al, you can't accept me yet? Wh why? What exactly is the reason?" Inner Sheza, he looks to be breathing.

They sat on the sofa.

"Father grateful we can finally regroup after all these years! Come on, forget everything that happened and start with a new sheet! From now on I'm taking good care of you!" Elhameed said happily.

"Now rest! It's late, tomorrow we'll chat again for future plans!" Connect Erlina

Vino and his two nephews just nodded.

They went into their own rooms, and so did Al and Sheza, and they walked together into the rooms because they were both adjoining rooms, and there was no greeting! They just walk around without a sound.
