You & Dusk
The Same Feelings

(Flashback Part)

Afternoon after ashar in a house.

"Why you? Daydream like that?"

"astagfirullahaladzimu. Abiiiii... Just ngagetin." Alfy was surprised.

"yes, how come you daydream like that why? Come why?"

"no papa Abi."

"hm.. Suspicious of you yeah."

"ah Abi started to." Alfy was starting to get annoyed with his father's jokes.

"Your son is suspicious." Father Said.

"Abi.. Ih sprained." he muttered.

"Dear to joke dear." His father said with a light laugh.

Alfy and his father were quite close. As most people say that a daughter is closer to her father while a boy is closer to his mother.

Alfy's father was a humorous man. Even so he is also very religious, not something surprising considering the attitude of his son who has been like that.

Alfy and his father were very close even more so after his brother died. Since then, his humorous father has become a little worried about the association of the only daughter he has now. It can be said that there is a deep trauma of losing his first child, especially his first child died in a tragic way.

"what's wrong?" Said Alfy's mother walking from the kitchen.

"this is Umi, your son." his father replied.

"Why Umi's beautiful son."

"there is no Umi. Abi tuh yummy." Alfy defended himself.

"this loh. Hold the book but from earlier Abi noticed daydreaming. Not read the book."

"Abi let's not boong. Sins."

"yes sin, make Abi honest."

"already Abi.had not disturbed Umi's child. Pity his face is red."

"Assalamualaik." Said the new puput coming into the house.

"waalaikumsalam."

"where's son from?" ask Alfy's mother.

"from the Umi campus." reply Puput.

Puput lives in Alfy's house while his father and mother live in the village. Due to the demands of the college she has to be in town and live with Alfy's family. His father was the younger brother of Alfy's mother.

"try asking Put is you. It seems like a lot of thoughts." Said Alfy's Father.

"Tell me dong.." Alfy said evasively.

"yes yes." His father said laughing lightly.

"yes Abi, it's almost afternoon. Let's go to the Uztads."

"oh yeah." "oh yeah."

Alfy's father and mother wanted to visit Uztad Bawazier's house. He is sick, Alfy's father is a good friend therefore his father and mother will visit the Uztad.

"we go first, son. Assalamualaikum." His mother said to leave the house.

"waalaikumsalam Umi's. Be careful on the road." Reply Alfy.

Alfy who escorted his parents back in and sat in the living room. This time watching tv. But it's true, just like his father said when he read a book. This time in front of the tv he was seen watching but his mind was thinking about something else or in short he was daydreaming.

"Na.. Hey." said Puput.

"e yes Brother Fogged." Alfy replied.

"i'd like to pinch a novel in your room?"

"hm.. I'm curious." Puput said suspiciously.

"he? Curious?"

"that's your response is excessive."

"brothers Kayak Abi aja."

"hm.. Arman?"

"uh uh? Ke kee why? How's Arman?"

"do you look panicked?"

"ordinary as it is. Astagfirullahaladzim." Alfy's response.

The puput who had intended to borrow a book suddenly sat down beside Alfy. "i'm not Abi you can fool Na'. Come be honest with brother."

"there's no brother. Oh, my God." elak Alfy.

"Do you like Arman?" ask Puput.

"mmm..."

Alfy could not answer, his eyes suddenly did not want to look at the Soup who had just put on a curious face.

"honest or brother of the clitoris." Said Puput preparing with both hands.

"yes yes yes. I answer." reply Alfy.

"so how?" tanya Puput once again raised her eyebrows.

"i.. Don't know brother. By Allah I don't understand my feelings at all." Said Alfy.

"yesterday we met Arman at the Mall, he went with another girl. You jealous?" ask Puput.

"i don't know brother. I'm."

"if so, how does it feel?"

"what taste?" ask Alfy plain.

"your feelings yesterday? When you saw Arman with another girl."

"it feels. e it feels tight." she replied.

"i guessed it. Do you like him?"

"i don't know brother. I'm rattled. If I'm honest with my feelings, I'm afraid. I can only pray for this feeling to go away if he's not the best for me. But the longer, I.. I like it more." Alfy.

it seems to have been guessed that Alfy actually has the same feeling as what Arman felt.

"hm.. Na' Dengerin Sister. You don't have to worry. Likes are natural, what else likes the opposite sex at our age is very reasonable. The wrong thing is if the love we feel or love we channel in the wrong way in the eyes of God. You are right by praying but it helps you be honest with your feelings so that you can be relieved and not keep thinking." explained Puput.

"i mean I should be honest with Arman? I have to tell him?"

"if you think that's the way that you can be calm and not keep your mind, just do it."

"but I'm a big girl."

"what if you're a girl?"

"not that should say first is a man. Isn't the one who killed him a man?" ask Alfy.

"yes who preach or propose are indeed Na's men, but the matter of stating it is different. You know in the days of the Prophet Shallallahu alaihi wasallam. When he married Khadijah Radiyallahu anhuma. The one who expressed the desire to get married was not the Prophet but Khadijah declared it first. And there are many more stories in the time of the Prophet about women can express their feelings to men in his tribe. Of course with elements that do not deviate from religion." Light Escapees.

Alfy silently listened to the advice of Puput. He seemed to be thinking about his current feelings."Na'.. Since when do you like her?"

"since.. It was."

"at that time?"

"Actually I knew Arman when I was in High School." Said Alfy.
