At the End of Dusk
part 19 (revision)

"do you know Erwin. Six months before Ersha was married, Ersha was diagnosed with brain cancer.."

"what." shouted Chintya and Erwin together.

"Ersha asked us to keep this a secret to you, she did not want her father and mother to worry.With great difficulty finally earth managed to persuade Ersha to want to undergo surgery in Germany, he said, and the day before their departure to Germany you forced her to marry someone she didn't know at all. at that time Ersha agreed to get married because she thought her marriage to feroz might be the most beautiful gift for her father before his departure.Ersha's two-year battle with her cancer, and, I am the earth and my husband who witnessed her struggle.I understood at that time your absence in the process of healing, because Ersha asked you not to seek her existence.." Nia stopped her story, she gulped down her drinking water

"it was I who asked Ersha to return to Indonesia, to decide whether to continue her marriage with you or end it."

"you know Feroz, Ersha does love the earth, and if at that time the earth declares his love and asks Ersha not to return to Indonesia maybe Ersha will never love you and throw away her love for the earth, he said,and Ersha will not suffer so much before her death.." Nia cried she took her breath to ease her overflowing emotions

"but that is his destiny." he said in a soft voice

"i saw Dimata Ersha's love for you Feroz, she's happy to be your wife, which is why I asked my son to forget her.."

"over a year my son and I broke off our relationship with Ersha. We thought Ersha was happy until she never told me and my husband we were wrong, you lock our daughter in your mas cage, you arrange her life, but you never see her condition.he's lying.hiks hiks hykss" cried Nia increasingly become so.

"Ersha called earth that day.in the arms of the earth she cried, she was devastated when she was sentenced to brain cancer for the second time.she was devastated.you know!!!"

"if you knew Chintya Ersha's condition that day, I'm sure you'd feel what I felt. disintegrated Chintya .. angry Chintya.." Chintya hugged Nia's body, she regretted her stupidity not knowing the state of her daughter

"pardon me mba, I failed to be the mother who protected her .." Chintya said with her lips twitching

"Tante Ersha please under Ersha go far away from here, Ersha can't afford to see the people that Ersha loves sad, devastated to see the condition of ersha Aunt, it said that night Chintya.hiks hiks "

"my husband and I had forbidden her to go home that night, but she said she had to go home, she wanted to welcome her husband home, but what did she get? feroz your proud daughter-in-law treated her cruelly with contempt, even more despicable than an animal.." Angrily Nia looked at the face of Feroz who had been silent in a thousand languages.

"sorry you said, sorry you can't change everything, sorry you won't be able to make my son's earth come back the way it used to be, sorry you won't be able to bring my Ersha back to life..." yell Nia

"he called me Erwin, Auntie please Ersha, Auntie please Ersha said.you know when I arrived at his house, by Allah Erwin my heart was broken seeing him crawl from his room, you know, his body was full of bruises, blood. hyks hyx"

"ersha's condition is getting worse, let alone to return to activity, to hold a glass only he can not, but what you did that day, he divorced he was thrown away, he was thrown out, without any of you airing the news, listening to the explanation.You are punishing him guilty without listening to his defense, you are really cruel..."

"Ersha misses her loved ones so much, but what you did, you forgot her, you hated her, made her look like she never existed, even to mention her name you're not sad,"

"you Feroz, I thought you loved her more than my son, until I asked my son to turn off his love, but I was wrong. the earth that Ersha loves shouldn't be a loser like you.."

"forgive me Auntie.." the sentence came out along with her tears flowing

"forgive me dear. I've made you suffer." feroz kissed the gravestone that read Ersha Inara's name

while on the beach where Ersha breathed her last, Earth enjoyed the twilight while telling stories and laughing as if Ersha was with her..
