You & Dusk

You & Dusk
Ayah


(Flashback Part)


This afternoon the heat was very hot, unlike the usual birds that can be seen perched and fly over the tree behind my house now only seen silent in the nest. People who ran their feet in the narrow alley behind my house were seen wearing umbrellas even though it was not raining, of course to protect their heads from the hot sun.


I was playing with my sister in the back of the house. My sister is currently in 6th grade, she is my only sister. Yes, we are two brothers with a mother and father who died 2 years ago when I was in the 3rd grade of High School.


My father was a great police officer, my father was a hero. He died while on duty at a highway traffic post. He died of being killed after hugging a bomb thrown by an irresponsible man. My father hugged the bomb to prevent the explosion from hitting other pedestrians.


The attack****** 2 years ago was so devastating for our family, of course because it killed my father. After that incident, our family was well certainly not wanting to dissolve from the sadness.


Mom fought alone to give me and my sister a living. If asked if I love Mom or not, then I don't have to answer enough I prove by making her happy. "Ha.. Raihan.. Here's a minute." My mother called my sister.


"yes Ma.." Answer Raihan.


"please buy this material well in the supermarket ahead." Mother said while giving a list of groceries and money to Raihan.


"Ma.. Why don't you tell me to." I said to Mom.


"yes, you anterin this to his aunt Lani yah." Said Mom handed me a box I didn't know it contained.


"ohhh yes, here Ma let me anterin." I then get ready to take the goods to Aunt Lani's house because the house is quite far from my house.


Long enough I'm on the road, not because Aunt Lani's house is far away, just that the short distance will feel very, very far if the traffic jam has occurred on the road. About 2 hours more I was stuck in traffic until finally able to drive smoothly.


After I got to Aunt Lani's house I then gave the item and immediately left home. The sound of the Ashar prayer adhan was finally heard and I was about to stop at the mosque to fulfill the obligation.


After that I lay down for a while in the mosque. I saw people one by one coming out of the mosque, I saw one of the people who was so solemn in prayer. The stature of a middle-aged new man uses a turban with a long robe to the calf. A long beard that looks gray has begun to cover the chin up to his chest.


If I ask you if I hate ******, of course I hate it. They're just fools, they're just killing, they're fighting for nothing, all they're doing is based on their stupidity. And then the victims are their religion and my religion.


My religion and the religion of the middle-aged man who had earlier prayed in front of me. These people do not think openly, they are blinded by false ideology without wanting to find out what is right or wrong they do. As a result, innocent people become victims.. I lost my father too.. I lost my father.


Thinking about it unconsciously I shed tears, I remembered all the moments I had with my father. Have you ever felt like what I feel, the figure of a father who looked after me from childhood, taught me to be a responsible man, had to leave me when I was a teenager.


The magic moment when I was a kid, where I fell asleep in the chair at night, and in the morning when I opened my eyes I was already in my bed. Miraculously thinking I was, growing up now I see who moved me back then, when I saw Dad doing the same thing to Raihan. Fathering.. I've missed him.


I really can no longer hold back the tears that keep coming out, flowing without stopping if I've been thinking about my father. Crying is a positive emotion, because after that you will really feel relieved by the situation. Finally, with tears in my eyes, I prayed for my father. I pray a little to you in nature there, forgive your son who has not been able to make Mother happy. Fathering.. Miss you..


After spilling all my feelings with prayer, I then walked out of the mosque. Now it's about 5 and a half hours, the perfect time to enjoy my favorite nature. Twilight..


The best place to enjoy the twilight where again if not a sunset place is off the coast in the western part of the city, quite far but hopefully I can arrive on time.


The road is not too crowded and then help me arrive faster than expected. It's not just me here, there are a lot of people waiting for him. There are many activities, ranging from just sitting, just chatting with family, just enjoying a glass of hot coffee in the shops available and there is also a time to play water on the beach.


I walked to my favorite place when I was here. Unknowingly the sun slowly began to semitize, the sky was orange-colored furiously like a pink mortal. Pampering the eyes of anyone who sees it, birds that fly with their flock add to the beautiful twilight sky this time.


When I got to the usual place where I was enjoying the twilight, I saw that there was a woman. I approached for a moment I realized that the woman was Fina. Again.. This time I will not be wasted.


This time I have to successfully get to know him, I don't want to constantly just look at him from afar. I was quite stubborn, with a long sigh I gathered the courage to greet him. I approached and tried to talk to him, "hey.." I said awkwardly.
