Dusk Above the Horizon
We won't fall in love with each other

"Do you love the chakras?"

"No"

"Why did you get married?"

"Didn't they say Life is Choosing Not Choices? but the reality is we can't do it"

Humans are the most perfect creatures among the other creatures in the world. Humans have common sense that can be used to do something before acting. But human life can be said to be good and perfect if it obtains happiness, both in the form of inner happiness, material etc. Indeed, man is on the face of the earth is nothing but to do good and useful for others and obey Him in order to obtain eternal and eternal happiness.

But they are caught in a distortion where he resigned to something that makes his life seem pushy. If man can think clearly he will choose something that makes his life calm and comfortable. Choosing between choices is a good thing, why? Because by choosing we can be ready to do something we want without having to give up on a coercive choice.

But I'm stuck on a coercive choice.

"Let's discuss it together"

suddenly Cakra's voice was heard behind his ears, fortunately dusk had wiped away his tears since earlier, he hurriedly turned his head because of the man behind him, then choose to turn his body quickly and sit from his sleeping position.

"He em"

the girl nodded her head while she said she had to discuss everything together.

for a moment Cakra sequenced his forehead as he saw the twilight eyeballs looking teary and also reddened.

he thought the girl seemed to have cried out, but that stupidity was none of his business.

"you're not crying over this marriage, are you? it's just a deal between the two of us where you agree and I agree"

the man spoke quickly.

"from the very beginning we knew we had benefited from each other in this marriage covenant, and do not engage the heart in the covenant we made, make sure you don't fall in love with me so you have to be depressed and cry like you are right now"

Cakra spoke a little arrogantly, trying to fortify himself and not wanting the girl before him to fall in love first with him.

hearing Cakra's words instantly made dusk chuckle, the girl then said.

"i cannot possibly fall in love with the master first even if the sky and the ground change positions though, if the master has a past then so do I, we both have a first love whose position will not be replaced by a second love, just as the Prophet loved Khadijah in the end will never be the same as the Prophet loved Aisha"

have you ever heard the most painful words in your heart? has your arrogance ever been dropped by someone just like that?!.

never for the more than 35 years did she live, dusk became the only girl to plunge herself to the bottom of the earth over her arrogant and cold remarks.

The instantaneous snoring chakra was in disbelief at the speech of the girl who did not speak much in front of him.

"a little talk but once you talk you hurt more than me"

said the man later.

"i take that as a compliment, sir"

reply Dusk later.

Cakra only raised the tip of his lips, from the very beginning of their meeting he knew as he explained at length the matter of their agreement the answer of the girl who was before him was very short densely clear at that time.

"Can I get her down payment?"

he could already guess the character of the girl, from there it would not care about anything but money and also the people he considered important, he was gentle but so painful, he was, he was obedient but quietly swept away.

"take your journal and let's get it right about where we first met how we met and who we used to fall in love with"

the man ordered the twilight to take the journal he had given the girl after their marriage, take her wherever she went or even keep her in her own way.

dusk did not answer just obediently according to what Cakra said, began to move looking for a journal book that Cakra had given to him that was in his bag and he always carried everywhere lately.

after getting the book the girl slowly climbed back up onto the bed, facing towards Cakra and waiting for what the man was talking about.

in the end Cakra begins to speak out putting together each date and also the manner of their meeting, no one wants to be forgotten until one day if the question is again resolved by one of his family as questioned by his father earlier, he said, they will not lose communication nor will they be able to provide information between each other.

until in the end all the discussion went almost to the end on who fell in love first.

"don't say I was the one who fell in love with the master first, a poor girl will not be able to melt the heart of a rich man who has everything, I'm not a modern-day Cinderella because people wouldn't believe me if I fell in love with you first"

Dusk spoke as he stared at Cakra's eyeballs, waiting for the male's answer before him for some time.

hearing the words of the girl in front of him was like you reading a floating laugh in disbelief.

"i just found out you're a pretty smart girl"

cakra said then.

after that silence occurred between them, still looking for the right answer actually who should be written to fall in love again first among them in their journals.
