ASMARALOKA DUSK
CHAPTER 29. Trapped
...The best patience is where you prefer to be silent, when your emotions are struggling and asking to be heard. ...
...🍁...
The time shows at 14:45, the hour of returning from work has arrived and Asmara also moved from her seat.
"Ran you want me Anterin?, or you want to wait for Bagas ?"
The young pregnant woman was always waiting for her husband to pick her up, but not infrequently Asmara drove her home. It is only when the husband of his best friend is busy with work that he cannot leave behind.
"I think Bagas is late, Ma, I'm with you yes" Rani pleaded with a wink.
"Yes "Answer a short romance with her best smile.
The two rushed to pack their own belongings, as well as tidying up the work desk and KIA room. The two agreed to go home together.
The distance of Rani's house with Asmara house is not far, only about 15 minutes away, if from Puskesmas approximately 30 minutes.
Asmara is piggybacking on Rani with her Scoopy motorcycle, the only vehicle she currently owns.
Quite slowly when compared to when Asmara came home alone, of course that is the reason because Rani was pregnant young, Asmara did not want to take risks by driving as usual.
Along the way the two went through with laughter, not infrequently Rani teased Asmara with her silly guyonan.
The atmosphere was cool with a view of the tea leaves on the left right side of the road.
It did not take long, the motorbike that was driven by Asmara was parked in the yard of Rani's house.
"Let's go yuk first" Rani asked.
"No Ran, I'm going to go straight"
Presumably Asmara wants to see his little daughter soon. Remember Asmara promises Dusk to take a walk this afternoon.
"Let's go ma, just a moment !!" Rani forced with full plea.
To be honest Asmara was very reluctant, especially now that it was quite late afternoon, not to mention he still had to keep his promise at dusk. But seeing how Rani's efforts to force her, making Asmara did not have the heart to reject the invitation of her best friend.
"OKAY. Not long"
Soon Asmara standardizes his Motorcycle, and overtakes Rani who has first entered the house.
Asmara was so surprised to find in Rani's house there was someone who was quite familiar romance with her, The gaze of her eyes was fixed on one person who was very attention-getting.
It's nothing just that Asmara feels familiar with the figure there, not so familiar, just that he knows enough who it is.
"Asma, Please come in" said Bagas husband of Rani.
Asmara was a little hesitant, but in the end he entered the house, his arrival was warmly welcomed with a smile Mirza who had been there first.
"Thank you Ma, it's anterin Rani"
Asmara smiled wryly with a nod of her head "Yes gas, Equally"
The atmosphere of the living room was suddenly quiet, when Bagas and Rani said they would take drinks and food in the back.
"How are you doing Asmara?" Mirza greeted politely.
Asmara also looked up, glanced at the interlocutor, and then politely answered Mirza's question "Alhamdulillah Mr. Mirza, Good"
Mirza seemed to nod her head, not forgetting her best smile.
It is clear how Mirza stared at Asmara so intensely, enough to make Asmara uncomfortable, but it does not necessarily make Asmara forbid Mirza to look at him.
Bagas and Rani of course they deliberately left both. Presumably Asmara began to be suspicious of his two best friends, where both of them were deliberately reunited with Mirza, but Asmara did not want to bother with his bad prejudices.
An awkward atmosphere instantly enveloped the two.
"Ohy. No need to call sir, I'm not that old as Asthma" Mirza chuckled with her words.
Asmara smiled kindly, responding to Mirza's words by nodding her head again.
The two seemed to talk familiarly, with occasional laughter from Asmara, Although not like familiar friendships in general, but Asmara tried to compensate for Mirza's jokes.
Sepwrti two best friends Rani and Bagas, Mirza also likes to joke.
Until unwittingly the chat was interrupted because of Rani and Bagas who came with drinks and some snacks.
"Udah aja nih" Goda Rani with her rancid smile.
Both of them seemed embarrassed by the jokes of a married couple who were joking hobbies.
"Ran, I came home late in the afternoon"
Asmara gawked at the clock in his hand, it had been 1 hour without feeling Asmara was there.
Mirza had offered to take Asmara but soon Asmara rejected his offer.
Not without reason, other than because it is uncomfortable also because Asmara is very guarding themselves from the gossip of the neighbors who sometimes often hurt.
After finishing his drink, Asmara rushed to leave Rani's house, Back riding his Scoopy motorbike, down the streets that felt cool and a little cold.
Presumably not in accordance with Asmara's expectations, because suddenly the fog dropped just like that, he accelerated the pace of his iron horse to immediately Samapi to the house and immediately bring Dusk walk as promised the other day.
Asmara has reneged on her promise to the princess 4 times, it is unlikely that today she will renege on the promise by not so take Dusk for a walk.
After approximately 15 minutes drive, Asmara arrived at the front of the house, his arrival was immediately greeted by the little princess who was always waiting for him.
"Yourn...."
Dusk ran and splashed on Asmara who just finished standardizing his Motorcycle.
"Dear Ones, Have you taken a shower ?"
Asmara grabbed her daughter's tiny body, she carried it in her arms and returned with twilight to enter the house.
"The streets of ibuk" said the twilight expectantly.
Instead of answering the question of Asmara, just dusk catapulted a call that immediately reminded Asmara of his promise.
To be honest Asmara is a little unsure, but seeing how his daughter desperately hopes to make Asmara do not have the heart to re-deny her.
"Okay Darling, I'm Bathing and changing clothes first baby, Enja wait for mommy ya"
Dusk nodded his head excitedly, a happy twinkle clearly visible on his little face.
Asmara sat her daughter in the living room chair, while she headed to the room to clean up.
It did not take long, Asmara had come out of her room with a much fresher face, although her soul and body might have been tired, but not for the twilight that always made her excited.
As long as Asmara is in room , lucky mbok Jum has changed twilight clothes using clothes and trousers, so it will not take long to just get ready and wait for his daughter.
The two then set off together riding a Scoopy motorcycle with dusk sitting in the front.
Along the way Dusk looks so happy, the humming of a song that is not so clear what it sounds like he always jerked along the journey of romance, Asmara, It certainly turned with the feeling of Asmara who actually felt anxious because the fog was getting down. Do not rule out the possibility that soon it will rain again.
Luckily the streets are quite quiet, or maybe because it is in the middle of the fog. Asmara use it to increase the speed of the Vehicle, it does not take long he has arrived in the Park where usually Dusk play.
While Dusk playing, Asmara ordered some food in the stalls that still seem open, because most of the stalls there have been closed since before Asmara and Dusk arrived.
Two pop noodles, one cup of warm milk and , One cup of warm oranges becomes the choice of romance to fill the stomach with the beloved princess.
Not a heavy food choice, the reason is simple, because of course Asmara will not take a long risk to wait for the food to be ready, while if the instant noodles type of pop noodles just stay in the brew, it won't take long. In addition, because instant noodles are one of the favorite foods of Dusk, although it is not healthy but Dusk is always excited when Asmara allows him to eat it.
Perhaps not only Dusk, most children like instant noodle type foods, although to be honest it is not good for health.
With painstaking Asmara giving bribes for the sake of bribes to his daughter, of course also with her who participated in eating. It didn't take long for the two to finish off the food and drink previously ordered.
Now it's time for Asmara to bring her daughter back home.
Nahas had not yet had Asmara walk to the parking lot, rain first greet, so Mau does not want Asmara forced to find a place to shelter.
Sebrang road, not far from the parking lot there is a lonely ojek base, there is a place of choice Asmara for shelter.
Quite comfortable, besides there are some long chairs there is also lighting.
Long enough Asmara and her daughter wait for the rain to subside, but presumably the more rainy afternoon is also getting heavier, it is impossible for Asmara to bring her daughter, who is not the only one, although Asmara brought a raincoat but presumably he hesitated to break through the rain with the dense fog that enveloped the road.
