Dusk Above the Horizon

Dusk Above the Horizon
Man is the place of dissatisfaction


When dusk asks who Cakra is referring to, the reality does not make the man answer his question, Cakra prefers to wait for dusk to reach for a new towel on the walk in closet.


"I think his new towel's on the walk in closet"


the man spoke quickly then he glanced towards the twilight without being confused by what he said earlier.


for a moment of silence, the girl was silent, until at last Dusk moved towards the Walk in closet, looking for a new towel for Cakra, after getting it the girl handed the towel to Cakra.


His head had been covered with a million question marks about what Cakra said.


After the man received the towel from the hand of the girl before him, Cakra said.


"I'll move you home in the village tomorrow"


he said quickly while staring at Dusk.


hearing the words of the man before her making Dusk momentarily silent, the girl immediately turned her head towards Cakra staring at the man for some time.


It was as if he had forgotten what Cakra had said he was focusing on what Cakra was saying right now.


"i think you have a right to everything, ever since the deal broke out, you've had all control over me and my family"


the girl spoke as she continued to stare at Cakra's eyeballs.


"I'm in control of everything, but I'm talking to you from the husband's point of view to his wife, counting because I'm trying to respect you, asking for a decision before it's all done"


as usual the man spoke so flatly, he was just trying to appreciate the twilight he had married.


"Moveting your parents without talking about it first may look and sound very unkind among us, lest my parents ask you confused looking for your own father's whereabouts"


Continue that man again.


"I was quite flattered to hear it at the beginning, but the words at the end of the lumanyan were not pleasant to hear, I knew and I understood the meaning of what you said"


Dusk then replied as he moved towards the chair where Cakra had put his briefcase and removed his shoes in any place.


The girl grabs Cakra's bag and shoes, choosing to put them where they should be.


"Go to bed early, tomorrow I'll take you to one place"


"What brings me to such a luxurious place as buying clothes for tens to hundreds of millions?"


Tanya Dusk then, she turned around and looked towards Cakra.


"If it's there, I'm refusing it"


Continue again.


Cakra raised the tip of his lips.


"Girls usually like to go to places like that"


The sentence that he uttered sounded mocking, quite distrustful of a girl like Dusk not liking her.


too hypocritical.


Dusk knows the meaning of Cakra's gaze.


"Maybe I like it, I will get all these facilities during our marriage, but after we get divorced I can't get myself used to those luxuries, so that in the end it will make me turn to become a colonial girl to be self-important to many men in order to maintain a high lifestyle, I am not that kind of girl, you know? we are really ourselves who limit it from the glitter of the temptations of the world, if we follow the world and its contents it will never be endless"


"indeed, the prophet Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said: Had man been given a valley full of gold, he would have wanted a second. If he is given a second, he wants a third. Nothing could block his entrails apart from the ground. And Allah is Most Received of repentance to anyone who repents.” (CHR. Bukhari. 6438).


"and I'm not going to turn into a city girl who's glared at the temptations of city life, sir"


Cakra did not flinch, listening to the words for the sake of his words said by the girl in front of him, his reality wanted to argue but what was said since it was true, was true, one day when they parted he who used to give a pool of treasures will turn Dusk into a life he did not expect.


"I'm just taking care of myself from a life that's not mine, sir"


Continue to Dusk again.


Back they were silent, until finally Dusk chose to turn his face.


"I want to take you to Jelita's grave"


Said the man later.


Hearing that instantly made Dusk stop his steps, he immediately turned around and turned his head towards Cakra.
