Memories of Dusk
The Fights Between Me, Father and Mother

The late night made me and Dimas have to rush home, so that my father and mother did not know that I was gone since afternoon. However, because the street holidays become so very jammed. Want to not want me to just get home around 22:00 Wib. And when I got home I saw Dad's car was in front.

I'm afraid they're mad 'cause I came home so late.

“I accompany you in yes son,” said Dimas who tried to help me enter the house, so that father and mother are not angry with me.

“No need Dim. Udah you calm down yes, I can kog face them.” I said with convincing Dimas.

“If you are scolded how?” asked Dimas with a face so anxious. She was so scared that I was scolded by mom and dad.

"The problem of being angry is common, you calm down.” I said with a calm face, so as not to make Dimas panic.

“Beneyes? yasudah, I went home first yes,” said Dimas who was still worried to see me.

“Still make this afternoon. I Love You,” I said with a smile to Dimas.

“I Love You too Sonya.” replied Dimas.

Dimas went into his house and so did I. I very carefully walked so that my father and mother would not know. Turns out I was wrong. They've been waiting for me since.

“Where are you Sonya?” mother asked with an angry face.It seemed like I was currently in danger.

“I.. Akuu.. go with my friend mother,” I replied stammeringly, I was confused what to answer.

“With a man? Is that your friend Sonya?” father said in a tone that began to rise and made me more afraid. They seem to be getting mad at me.

“He is my friend father, I do not lie.” said I tried to defend myself, and avoid their anger.

“Then from afternoon till night like this where have you been?” mother asked me again with a face that was really very angry.

“Only holidays dad, mom. I just want to get rid of boredom.” said I who once again tried to convince father and mother that I did nothing.

“Then what to do with men!!” snapped dad at me. I began to feel afraid to hear the voice of my father who had begun to rise.

“I just want to find entertainment yah.” I replied to dad.

“What to do with a man? You will still have Liana who can accompany you.” continued mother with a tight tone to me.

“Liana's time isn't just for me mom, she's also busy. That guy is also my friend. He who can make a sense of loneliness in my life disappear. You don't know how lonely my life is. Without a sister, a sister, even a father and mother who are too busy with their respective affairs. Then now I just want to find my happiness was forbidden?” I said with tears. I felt so sad when my mom and dad scolded me.

“Sonyaaa!!” father said by slapping me. That hand, for the first time landed on my cheek.

“Even now that my father has slapped me,” I said with a face of disbelief, my father can be very rude to me, his own son.

“Sonya.. You have to understand father and mother like this because we love you,” said mother to me.

“You have enough of my life, Father, Mother. But you always kept me here. He was just asking me to take the road to get rid of all my loneliness. I know my limits as a child, and I wouldn't be able to do anything out of bounds,” I said with great disappointment.

“Sonya.. He is a man and you are a woman. Whenever if you are always both you can be tempted.” said father.

“You're wrong dad, mom. I still know my limits. I still want to achieve my dream. And where might I ruin my life,” I said then left them.

“Sonya, Sonya.. Listen dad.” yell dad called me.

“It's already yeah. Maybe he needs time alone at this time.” said Mother who tried to forbid father to pursue me.

The father who slapped me that night felt sorry for what he did. He realized that he shouldn't be that violent with me. I cried myself in the room. I feel like mom and dad don't love me anymore. Since they have been busy with their work. At least I never get time from them.

Tok tok…

Someone knocked on my bedroom window, it looked like it was Dimas.

“Heyy Sonya's.. Why are you crying?” asked Dimas while wiping my tears.

I couldn't bear these tears I was crying more and hugging Dimas tightly.

“You why Sonya? You were scolded by your father and mother?” ask Dimas to me by returning my embrace.

“Iya Dim, they are so mean to me.” I replied by crying sobbing.

“I'm sorry yes, all my fault. Just try not to take you away this afternoon.” said Dimas who felt sorry for taking me away.

“You mean?” asked Dimas who was curious about my words.

“Dad slapped me for the first time.” answered me.

“You're serious? Until this is your parents?” said Dimas who was astonished.

“Stop Dim, they changed. They don't love me anymore.” I said with my eyes down.

“You should calm down. You have to be patient, maybe they are tired after coming home from work all day. Tomorrow too your father will apologize to you.” said Dimas who tried to calm my heart and not think bad things about my parents.

“Iya Dim's. They are still my parents. I love them both very much.” I said with a downcast face sad.

“Well it donk. Now you sleep, baby. Pudahan donk sadnya.” said Dimas by throwing a beautiful smile.

“Thank you because you were always there for me.” I told Dimas.

“Iya equally Sonya.” said Dimas.

“Udah I'm back and you're asleep. Night Sonyaku,” said Dmas.

“Night too Dimas.” reply.

I tried to close my eyes to sleep after I was tired. I love my mom and dad very much. But I don't know what made you slap me. Maybe my words were also very outrageous which made my father angry at me. From daydream I finally closed my eyes to sleep. The cold night made me sleep.

****

That morning I woke up and went out to look for breakfast. Mom and Dad were waiting for me at the dinner table.

“Sonya.. I want to apologize to you.” said father.

“Daddy is not wrong. I was wrong I should apologize.” replied me.

“Should father ask you nicely without having to slap you.” said father.

“You've forgotten it. It's okay,” I said with a smile.

“Now can I ask you something?” ask mother.

“Please bu,” answer me.

“Who's man?” ask mother.

“He's my schoolmate ma'am,” I replied briefly.

“Then where were you last night?” ask mother.

“Ke Beach. Seeing the twilight and playing rain and dinner on the beach,” answered my mother's question.

“Are you happy with all that?” keep up with the father who asked me.

“Yes very happy. It can slightly reduce the loneliness in my heart.” I replied.

“Alright dad already knows what you're doing. Next time if you want to go like yesterday you have to call dad or mom first. So that we do not worry like yesterday.” said father.

“Means dad allow if I go to the Beach again?” ask me dad.

“Iya. As long as you want permission first on us,” said father.

“Iya well I promise if you want to go will permission first, thanks ya yah.” said my happy face.

“Iya dear equally.” said father to me.

“We love you so much. If we are angry, it does not mean that we limit all your activities. But, we are only worried about you.” said mother.

“Iya ma'am I'm sorry ya one more time,” I said.

My mom and dad hugged me so tight. I know fighting like whatever we are, it's just a temporary fight. Behind it all the father and mother are very affectionate and very worried about me. A father's affection is the strongest love. while the affection of a mother is affection throughout the masses.Eternal affection that will not disappear easily.how angry my parents are, they remain my parents. I will never forget that.
