You & Dusk
Bloods

(Flashback Part)

Tonight feels lonely, unlike 3 years ago when my father was alive, usually Dad always comes home at this hour and the three of us always welcome him with a simple surprise, just have dinner with special cuisine from Mom. We always give such surprises on his birthday like today.

Although it has been 3 years but if the moment of his birthday I still feel empty, I feel still have not let go. If it's like this, usually my hatred is growing, hatred of the person who killed my father, my hatred of *******the killer who threw the bomb at that time.

I kept looking at my father's picture, if he were alive I might have hugged him. The last time I hugged him was when I was still sitting on the Junior High School bench. When I started High School I had to show my love to her and now I'm sorry.

My dad looks good in his police uniform, so I remember what my brother said that he wanted to follow in my father's footsteps to become a policeman.

I went out to the porch, I saw my mother sitting daydreaming. I don't know what's on his mind right now, if I'm guessing he could be thinking about my dad right now."Ma's.. Come in, let's catch a cold." My word.

"boy, Mama still wants to sit here."

I approached my mother, I sat down next to her and spontaneously hugged her. He responds with his warm embrace."You know, your father as a young man looked a lot like you son."

"more handsome Mr. Ma." I reply.

"the two are handsome, who used to dong Mama."

"Mama can do it."

"but really dear, you are the same father has a similar nature. I guess now if it's spoiled like this." Said My Mother.

"Dear Mama is very dear to you Dad?"

"yes, baby, of course."

Not aware of tears Mother dripped and about my face that hugged her earlier. "lucky Father if that is so." I said.

My mother smiled and wiped away her tears."Mama hopes you will also find women who love you, want to accompany you when difficult or difficult."

"aamiin Ma."

"uh but by the way Mama likes your friend earlier."

"which one is Ma?"

"that's it, we met in the cemetery this afternoon."

"Alfy means?"

"yes, Alfy. Mama likes him. Don't you like it?"

"I LOVE MA." My inner.

I silently heard my mother say that, even in front of my own mother I couldn't admit that I really liked Alfy. My mother's words can be a boost for me because it means I no longer need to ask for Mother's blessing if someday I will marry Alfy. Be married? Do I deserve to marry him? That's the problem, I feel inappropriate. "the boy was very polite with Mama earlier, it looks like he is also good, sholeha, anyway if the same she Mama agrees very much."

"duh Ma, Alfy is just a college student, nothing more" I said.

"yes, I just wish, son. Who knows if this handsome Mama's son can match Alfy the beautiful." Mother said she confirmed her hope.

I feel like I want to hope that too, but again my feelings are messed up. Idan's words at that time still disturbed my belief to struggle to get Alfy. "yes already Ma, go inside. It's 9." I said.

"Yes, son."

Ibuki and I seemed to be late in longing to meet Dad. 3 years was not long enough to make us both forget about the handsome figure that can always be relied upon.

After reminiscing a little about Dad, I still hugged my mother as I walked into the house. Arriving in the middle room, I suddenly heard my smartphone ringing, I also went into the room because I heard it. When I saw the phone from Irwan's number. "Irwan, why is he calling you gini nights." I said while taking a smartphone from the bed.

"Arm.. Please, help me. I'm in the hospital."

I was quite surprised to hear the female voice. "hello, who is this?"

"this Ica. Please help me, I don't know what to do. Arman please." he said in a panic.

I heard Ica's voice, her voice trembling and like fear. I also heard him moaning like he was crying."Ica.. Why is Ca' calm first." I said.

"Arman help you come here now, I don't know.. I'm.."

"yes, relax, I'm going to the hospital right now" I said, trying to calm him down.

I took my jacket and went straight out of the house, "where are you going?" ask Mother.

"I went to the hospital first Ma. My friend went to the hospital."

"Innalillah, Yes son. Careful."

*on the other hand, where Ica is now.

Ica did not stop panicking to see Irwan who was currently handled by doctors and nurses, seen the blood on his face began to be cleaned with alcohol. Irwan was unconscious, he got three stitches on his left forehead due to a tear due to a stroke, as well as bruising at several points on his face and body.

After being treated seriously now his condition is stable but Irwan is still lying down while the Infusion has been installed in his right hand.

Ica approached, sitting beside the bed accompanying and holding Irwan's hand, she continued to hold Irwan's hand for fear of seeing his condition. Ica looked at Irwab's face, she held her right cheek. Her tears spilled again seeing Irwan's current condition.

Then, I arrived at the ER room but I didn't see Ica. I also asked the nurse who served in the ER, he said the patient on behalf of Irwan had just been moved in the treatment room.

I also accelerated my way to the treatment room that the nurse told me. Arriving in front of the room, I immediately opened the door that was not locked.

When I entered I saw Irwan lying unconscious, while Ica who was sitting next to Irwan who was lying down looked at me with a soft look because of her tears.

He approached me and immediately hugged me, seeing him in this condition I also hugged him back so that he could calm himself. "calm Ca', I'm already here." I said comforting him.

He still looks shocked, from his voice alone he has sounded gagu like a person who just saw a demon. How could he not have just seen Irwan with a face full of blood.

I also told him to sit down and calm down, I gave him a bottle of water I bought on my way here.

Ica started telling me everything that happened, she said about the old barn and the deserted road. About the two men with the face of the sangar who dragged Irwan out of the warehouse with a battered face. Also about Ica's smartphone being damaged by them. "we have to report to Ca' police." Of course that's what I thought the first time when Ica's explanation.

"don't, I'm afraid. I was threatened by them he said Irwan would be killed" he said.

"Ca' is calm, the police can definitely help Irwan. Trust me the same."

"alright, but wait for Irwan to wake up and we'll go to the police station."

"alright Ca', but you yourself don't papa right? No one's sick?" manyworry.

"nobody, I'm fine."

From the look of his face Ica still not calm, I also told him to lay on the sofa in this room. While I will replace him to accompany Irwan who is still unconscious.

Ica lay down, only for a while she lay Ica was asleep. Looks like the events he's been having tonight are making him tired. I opened the jacket and I put it on Ica as a blanket so she wouldn't get cold.

It was 11 o'clock and I wasn't asleep, I just told my friends, tomorrow morning they'll come here when the clock opens. They all planned to come except Ilham, not because he did not sympathize but he had made up his mind to forget Ica. For that he did not want to see Ica for a while. After a while of being tired, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
