You & Dusk
Debts

(Flashback Part)

a bright morning as usual, in a residential complex sounded the chanting of the holy Ayat Al Qur’an. "assalamualaikum."

"yes, waalaikumsalam." replied the middle-aged woman who stopped the chant of Qur’an from her mouth.

"excuse me Umi, I'm sorry I've been to see you in the morning."

"uh.. Yes, I want papa. Let's go in."

"yes to Umi."

"what's up, son? Tumben came this morning."

"iya Umi, this is my invitation."

When the two of them were talking, Alfy who was in the kitchen then went into the room wearing his hijab and came out to the living room because he heard a familiar male voice in the ear. "loh kak. How just came." Alfy said he saw the man.

The man turned his head and looked towards Alfy. "God be ye great. It's beautiful again."

"this is your sister, bring a wedding invitation. Umi wishes you were his wife." Said Alfy.

"ih Umi don't do that, sorry brother. Umi mah likes it."

"yes no papa." the man smiled.

"Umi's just kidding, son, hope your wedding is launched yah."

"aamiin Umi, do not forget to come well Umi same Abi. You too." Said the Man.

"yes, brother InshaAllah."

"then I say goodbye."

"quickly very son. Bok yah drink first."

"Sorry Umi, hurry because there is still an invitation that I want to deliver.

"well, be careful on the road."

"yes Umi, assalamualaikum."

"waalaikumsalam."

The man got out of Alfy's house and left on his motorcycle. "Umi tuh if you look at him always to remember Imam Nak." Said Alfy's mother.

"iya Umi, I Also. I really like Sister Imam."

"the two of them used to play very often as children, both entered the boarding school, one lodging. In the past your brother Imam also planned to mate you with him." Said Alfy's Mother.

"continue your own as well." continued Alfy's mother.

"that time I was a little boy" replied Alfy.

"yes even so first Umi mah agreed-agree bae lah. But now he wants to marry, if the Imam is still alive maybe the Imam has also married, son."

"yes Umi. Kak Imam is popular among the schools." Said Alfy smiling.

Alfy and his mother are involved in talking about his brother who has died, it turns out that the man is his brother's best friend since childhood. The man and the Imam were so close that even the Imam planned to match Alfy with his best friend. If the Imam were still alive, perhaps the match would have been realized.

*in the hospital, where I am.

"Arman wakes up, Man.."

I opened my eyes, my vision still blurred by the light, although it was unclear I knew what woke me was Gina. "what time is it?" my many.

"10 o'clock." reply Gina.

"Where's it?"

"he's talking to Irwan again."

It seems that I fell asleep to the point of not realizing the arrival of Adi and Gina. It appears Irwan is also conscious and is talking to Ica.

"eat first bro, yellow rice." Said Adi who gave me a black plastic office.

"yes thank you, I'll go to the restroom first."

Meanwhile, Ica who was near Irwan. "last night why did you?" ask Ica.

"no papa, you don't have to worry."

"how could I not worry about seeing your condition last night. We have to go to the police." Ica said.

"no, that's my personal business."

"you.. Don't be stubborn, dear. I'm worried." Said Ica holding tightly Irwan's hand.

"honey, I'm honest. I have a debt to them and I don't want to involve the police in my debt" Irwan explained.

"debt? Howmany? I'm helping you?"

"don't darling. I don't want to take your nicotine."

"but it's a pity that they're yelling at you again. How's it?"

"no way, I have money next month. It must be next month everything paid off. So you don't have to worry." once again Irwan calmed Ica down.

"yes, dear."

"oh yeah, we should call your parents. Yesterday I didn't know which number was so I didn't have time to tell them." Ica explained.

"last morning when you were sleeping, I texted them. He said again outside the city there is business." replied Irwan.

"soon?"

they're both busy people."

"yes, let me keep you here."

"hey Ca, tomorrow you have an appointment with Prof Armin early in the morning. Not that you want to help him research in the area. You better go home and get ready for tomorrow." Said Gina cutting off Ica's conversation with Irwan.

"so you have an appointment with the Lecturer, honey? You go home." said Irwan while rubbing the head of Ica.

"but there's no one to keep you here."

"there will be doctors, there will be nurses. You go home dad. When your business is done, you come here again."

"yes, yeah."

"eh Ica spoiled really well." Adi is noisy to Gina.

"that's if people are kasmaran." replied Gina whispered.

"so you don't like that to me"

Hearing that, Gina pinched Adi's waist making Adi scream. "Why why?" ask Ica.

"no papa Ca' usual old disease relapsed." replied Gina.

"what the hell is a fuss? Where was the yellow rice." I said cutting off their conversation. "get on the table." replied Adi.

"where is the water?"

"jeez sorry bro, the white water was the same as us-us."  Answer Adi.

"uh. I'm out first."

I also came out of the room intending to buy water in the supermarket in front of the hospital. When I walked into the supermarket door, I immediately picked up a few bottles of water and some biscuits as snacks for them inside.

As I walked to the cashier to pay, in front of the cashier I saw a middle-aged man reaching into the pockets of his front and back pants. Pocket in front of his shirt he rogoh but did not get anything.

From the gelagatnya he is like losing money or his money missed. Finally he told the cashier that he did not buy because he had no money.

I heard it was spontaneous to offer to pay for his shopping. It's not that generosity is just that sharing is beautiful. Moreover he only bought a few black coffee sachets cap water boat.

I spent more money because of it, after paying me out of the supermarket."tell you bro, you've already bought it." Said the bayah man who looks this slang.

"yes sir, no papa."

"i think I know you."

"sorry? Recognize sir?"

"ohs.. I inget. That's a motor loh. My motor that deflated tires anyway. The one you pushed until you took a sweat bath." explained the father.

"ohs.. Yes I remember. Mr. Uztad yes."

"nah that.. God, we'll see you here again, bro."

"yes Mr. Uztad, by the way Mr. Uztad is here to say what?" my many.

"this, I just finished looking at the hospital ahead of it. Now I want to go home, but stop by and buy coffee. I forgot to bring money. Good thing you are, bro."

"oh, that's Mr. Uztad."

"you're a good young man, a role model for other young people. You've helped old people like me twice."

"lady Mr. Uztad, I also like to help others.

"mashaAllah.. Your young man is cool too.. My daughter likes you when your attitude is like this."

"ahs.. Mr. Uztad can do it." I laughed at the thick accent, after a short conversation I said goodbye and went back to the hospital.

In the room where Irwan was treated, Adi and Irwan were seen in a conversation together. "bro, you don't owe how much to make bonyok kayak this same as them?" ask Adi.

"is bro." said Irwan

"bro... You're not lying anymore, are you?" adi asked once again suspiciously.

"make me boong." replied Irwan.

Hearing that does not reduce the suspicion of Adi. This one friend does have the expertise to see lies. He's obsessed with being a great detective like the character from the comics he used to read.

Sometimes his intuition is right, but not infrequently also misses just a presentation about the sharpness of his instincts is greater than his failure to analyze the situation.

After I ate the yellow rice given by Adi, I then decided to go home to them. Because I don't bring a change of clothes, of course I have to go home to take a shower and go back to sleep of course.

After I got out, Adi and Gina also said goodbye because Adi had to do his job as a motorcycle taxi driver to take Gina to her cousin's house away from this hospital.

It seems Adi is increasingly affirming her feelings for Gina even though Gina has not reciprocated what Adi is feeling at this time.
