Memories of Dusk
Trying to Forget the Bitter Memories of Dusk

The night was getting late, when a heavy rain suddenly came flashing my body which was standing waiting for a taxi. I'm looking for a place that can be used as shelter. The lightning and lightning coming together made me even more afraid. Suddenly a car came to me.

“Sonya, why should it rain anyway. I told you to go home with me,” said Satya who came to me.

“I don't want to bother you,” said I shivering in the cold.

“You never made me hard. This you wear so that it does not cool anymore,” said Satya who took off her coat and wore it on my body.

“Still Yes Sat,” I said by looking into Satya's eyes. That night I felt that there was something different in my heart, behind Satya's sincere concern for me. There might be a handful of love between us.

“Udah let's get in the car let me drive home,” pinta Satya.

“Iya Sat,” I replied briefly.

Satya drove me home, but because it was raining very hard that night and it was midnight I asked Satya to stay home.

“Sat, it's been night you stayed here just one night,” said.

“No need Son.. As cruel as your parents,” replied Satya who refused.

“My parents are good kog they must understand,” I said.

“Sonya? You are that kid? Talk to who?” said the father who came to me.

“Yes this father is Sonya,’ I replied.

“Sonya, why aren't you logged in?” ask mother.

“Iya mom.. This is my friend, briefly yes.” I said to mom.

“Loh you kannn?” mother said with disconnected.

“Mother?” satya was surprised.

“Who's outside buu?” ask the father from inside the house.

“This is well,” replied the confused mother.

“You son, why did you come here with Sonya?” ask Satya.

“Dad knows Satya?” my many.

“Know dear, he's the one who every month order cake here.” said father.

“Wah sir, what a coincidence. I really don't know if his father was Sonya.” Satya said.

“Oh. Father, Satya is the son of Mr. Satrio.”, I said.

“Pak Satrio your boss is Sonya?” keep mum.

“Iya mom's right,” my word.

“Wah this is a strange coincidence,” said mother.

“Haha yes mom. I also did not expect, oh yes I apologize in advance yes mother same father. I have to leave home late at night,” Satya said to father and mother.

“Nak it's been very night, danger once you go home. You just stay one night here, there are still 1 empty room here.” said father.

“Iya Sat, bahayya loh.” connect me.

“I'm reluctant sir,” replied Satya.

“No need to hesitate. Father same mother happy to help others,” continued mother.

“Before thank you mom, dad. I am so not good.” said Satya.

“Udah don't have to be that good. Think of it like a family of your own, let's go in let us make ginger warm for you.” take father to Satya.

“Iya sir,” replied Satya who walked into the house.

“Sonya lock the front door yes,” mom said to me.

“Iya mother,” I replied briefly.

I locked my front door and I took a shower and rested. Thank goodness tomorrow is Sunday so I can rest at home. Oya but I have not given good news to my father and mother about the gift that Mr. Satrio gave me. I finally got out of the room and met them.

“Dad, Mother.” call me.

“Loh you haven't slept? I thought you were sleeping Sonya.” said Dad.

“I have something for you guys,” I said.

“What is nak?” ask the curious mother.

“Something special for you sir, ma'am,” Satya continued.

“This...” I said while giving a map and car keys.

“This is Sonya's home letter and car key?”ask the confused father.

“Yes yeah, Right.” my word.

“Where did you get this from, baby?” ask mommy.

“He got it from his hard work ma'am. He loves you very much, he worked hard until the project he worked on succeeded and he got the gift from his boss as appreciation.” Satya said explaining to father and mother.

“This is true that Satya nak said?” ask dad once.

“Yes Allah, Alhamdulillah.” says grateful father.

“Alhamdulillah thank you Allah,” continued mother.

“Thank you son, father and mother are proud of you.” said the father who hugged me.

“Thank you dear,” said mother who also hugged me.

“This is all because of your prayers. Without you I wouldn't be able to do this to all dads, Mother.”.

“Your hard work is not in vain son,” said father.

“Iya.. Oya I was so sleepy, I slept first ya.” said I.

“Iya darling,” says mother.

“Sat I slept first yes,” I told Satya.

“Good night Son..” says Satya.

“Night too Satya,”.

I walked to my room and rested. That night the cold air made me fall asleep.

****

The sun started shining that morning. I began to rise from my sleep and opened my bedroom window.

“Good morning Sonya..” said Satya who suddenly appeared outside the window.

“Ih Satya. Make me surprised,” I said.

“Mandi donk Son, let's take a walk. You are not alone for what at home aja.” invite Satya.

“Hem want to go for a walk where?” my many.

“Beautiful place,” replied Satya.

“Example?” ask again.

“Surface of the river that there are many flowers there,” said Satya.

“No! Less good.” my words.

“Peak?” satya said, offering another place.

“Not bored and too far.” I replied.

“Heemm tea garden?” satya said again.

“No no. Boring atmosphere,” I said.

“Beach? Dusk?” satya.

I was silent for a moment hearing Satya's words. I miss that place. I haven't been to that place in over a year since the day Dimas hurt me. I don't want to remember the pain of that time.

“Son? You kog silent?” ask Satya.

“Not Sat, I'm not okay.” I said.

“Hem, do you remember Dimas? I'm sorry Son.” said Satya.

“No papa Satya. Relax,” my words.

“Heyy your face so look so sad,” Satya said.

“No. I just still remember the pain of that day Sat,”.

“Son? Do you still love Dimas?” ask Satya.

“I've long forgotten that feeling of love Sat,”.

“Now, one you should forget. The pain, you must remember that the pain will definitely recover someday.” Satya said.

“I know Sat... But I do not want to come to the place where all the memories of twilight happened Sat, the pain is still imprinted until now.” said I.

“I understand Son, may I try to remove your pain?” satya.

“By way?” ask me seriously.

“I want you to be able to see your weapon again. I want your gun to shine in your eyes like it used to. But not on the beach,” said Satya.

“Then?” ask me with curiosity.

“Above the tall building. Which makes your heart become much calmer,” said Satya.

“But Sat?” I said with disconnected.

“We tried Son. To forget our bitter past! You want?” ask Satya once again.

“Hemm yes I want,” I replied.

“That's new name is Sonya...” said Satya.

From today I try to see the twilight from the top of the tall building and hope that the bitter memories of the twilight can be forgotten. Maybe it was time that I slowly forgot the pain in my heart and drove forward.
