Happy at the End of the Dusk
The Unreplaceable Choice

"Za have you met Rayhan?"

"Heeem?"

"Today I saw him at dibasecamp"

"Aahhhh yes!"

"What about your relationship? Back to how it was? Everything all right?"

"What's wrong? Seems like you're really worried about my relationship with Rayhan?"

"Akh I'm too meddling, huh? Sorry!" Alghifari smiled clumsyly and was about to walk away but, Sheza held his hand, he put his hands together on the man's waist and buried his face in his field.

Alghifari just stood still, not nodding at all.

"I want to hold you for a minute!" Said Syeza then tightened his embrace.

"What's wrong? You got a problem?" Ask Al

"No!" Sheza replied.

"Please stay that way!" Syeza

"Heeem?"

"I never mind if you interfere with all my business! So keep doing that! Stay mixed up in whatever it is to me! I want you to keep doing it until I get old!"

"Aahaha"

"Yakh! Why are you laughing?"

"Even if you're married?"

"Eeemm of course!"

"You think your husband will agree later?"

Sheza lifted her head with both hands still embracing Alghifari's waist and looked at Alghifari with a smile.

"I don't care! If I were to choose between you and my husband, of course I would still choose you!"

"Aiss you!!" Alghifari flicked at Syeza's forehead.

"Yakhh why are you touching my forehead? You don't trust me?" Sheza then buried his face in the field belonging to Al.

"Eemm I don't have to convince you! I'll show you when it's time! I'll prove you're everything to me! That I would still choose you under any circumstances!" Syeza.

Alghifari just smiled a little.

"You didn't caress my hair?" Ask Sheza.

"For?"

"Yakh!! If anyone praises you in an embrace, you should smile while stroking her hair! That means you really appreciate the effort!"

"Akh forget it! You always do something for me if you want!" Al said then let go of Sheza's embrace and walked away.

"Al! Do it once! You've never done that, have you?!" Said Syeza with a small laugh and then chased after Al's steps.

"It's over!" Answer Al.

"really?! When?!" Sheza just laughed a little and then sped up his pace.

...****************...

"You guys ready?" Erlina approached her sister and her two children in the middle room.

"Yes sis!" Answer Vino.

"Wait a minute, I'll check on Elhameed! Looks like he's got an important phone!" Erlina said and walked away.

Vino, Alghifari and Syeza just nodded.

"Yakhh what's up? Why look at me while smiling like that?!" Al asked Sheza who stood looking at him with a smile.

"I'm still waiting for him! Just do it once!" Said Syeza smiling jail then thrust his head towards Alghifari.

"Amaha!!" Alghifari dodged and stood beside Vino.

"Al?" Sheza tries to get close to Alghifari who is hiding beside Vino.

"Yakh yakh yakh! What's wrong with you guys?" Vino tries to avoid the actions of Sheza and Al.

"Don't go anywhere uncle! Stay by my side!" Alghifari arrested his uncle.

"Yeah what's wrong with you?"

"Akh Sheza has been acting strange since this morning! I don't want to get close to him!"

"Wakhh can't you guys just calm me down for a second?!" Vino then looked towards Sheza.

"You too! Why do you like to prank your sister?!"

"God!" Sheza just grinned and then turned to look at Vino with a smile.

"Yakh! What was? Why are you staring at uncle like that?!"

"Then uncle did it!"

"What?!"

"Do it for me! I don't think uncle has ever been, have I?" Sheza then thrust his head towards Vino.

"Yeah! What's wrong with you?!"

"Show uncle? Akh come uncle! I don't want to get close to him!" Al then embraced his uncle's hand and walked away.

"Where are Al and your uncle?" Erlina asked who was back with Elhameed.

"Akh they're waiting in front of mom!"

"Alright come! Did you prepare the flowers?" Erlina asked as she stepped out.

"Yes, mom! It has been stored by uncle in the car" said Syeza then embrace his father's arm and step out.

Elhameed smiled slightly then rubbed his daughter's head.

"Even though those two men don't want to do it for me! There will still be one man who will do it for me without even asking!" Inner Sheza with a small smile.

In the car ride by Elhameed, Erlina and her sister with their two children look silent, they are both silent and focused with their respective minds.

"Where did you bury Elisha? Public burial place?" Asked Erlina who was trying to melt the atmosphere.

"No!" Answer Elhameed.

"Family cemetery! There are my two in-laws there too!"

"Aahh alright! Ah Sheza, do you visit your mother often?"

"No!" Sheza smiled bitterly.

"This is the second time for me! The first time, when I was about 8 years old? After two years, my mother died!"

"What's wrong! Your mother must have understood! Haahh this time he must be happy to meet his daughter again who has been a dozen years!" Erlina smiled.

"Then what about you Vino?" Erlina asked as she glanced for a moment towards Vino.

Vino just nodded small.

"Uncle visits mom often?" Ask Sheza.

"Eemmn yes!" Answer Vino.

"Thank you!" Syeza.

"Why are you thanking me?"

"I feel represented every time my uncle visits my mother! I feel like I was there when my uncle saw him!"

Vino just laughed.

"From now on uncle can't be alone!"

"Heeem?!" Vino.

"I'll accompany uncle! So if uncle wants to visit mommy, let me know! I want to see you with uncle!" Syeza.

"Eemm alright!" Answer Vino.

"You didn't take me?! Don't want to go with me too?!" Alghifari.

"Waakhh!! Apparently you're still jealous just like you were when you were a kid! Vino.

"No!" Al said then throw away face making others just laugh.

"So when do you want to see Elisha's sister? We're gonna stay in Landon! Chances are we can visit him on a private jet!" Vino.

"At least once a week? Ah no! You will be exhausted later! What if it's once every two weeks? Or once a month?"

"Depends uncle! Akh or can we visit mom when uncle or I want to visit her?"

Syeza.

"Ah right! That's much better!"

"Aargh I really want to stay in Landon!!" Alghifari.

"What if you just move your mansion to Landon?" Sheza looked at Alghifari.

"That's never gonna happen! I'd rather be New York than Landon!" Al said that he made Syeza rotate the eyeball lazily.

"Don't ever expect your sister to move Sheza's mansion! He's been too comfortable living in his neighborhood in New York!"

"Me or your mansion in New York?" Ask Syeza spontaneously.

"Yeah! Why are you giving me two tough choices?" Said Al.

"Wakhh turned out his mansion was in for a heavy choice!" Syeza.

"Even my uncle said no?"

"Akh if you're uncle? Me or your position as the third richest CEO in the whole world?"

"Of course you are!"

"Aakhh I know only uncle who really loves me!" Sheza then embraces his uncle's arm.

"Yes me too!" Al who does not want to lose.

"Stay the best uncle!"

"Me or uncle?" Ask Al.

"Then I choose father!" Syeza.

"Yeah! Dad's not on the list! It's just me and uncle! You have to determine it! Me or uncle?"

"I chose my mother!"

"Wakhh you're not so predictable!" Alghifari made the others laugh.
