Dusk Above the Horizon
Give her a choice

"You may hate something when it is good for you, you may like something when it is bad for you. God knows, and you do not know." (QS. Al-Baqarah 216).

 "Don't be too hard on yourself, for the end result of all the affairs of this world has been established by God. If something is meant to get away from you, it will never come to you. But if he's meant to be with you, then you won't be able to run from him." (Umar bin Khattab).

Twilight still did not budge, did not understand what to answer, his heart as if not beating, not at all me'lebay with the term heart suddenly beat hundreds of times more than usual, he said, but in reality her heart seemed to have completely stopped or paused for some time, she could barely breathe.

Have you ever felt a sense of surprise in your daily life? suddenly got news that made the pale face and palms become not okay, somehow it feels like both feet support the body, but all feels not okay.

Still neutralizing the heart, he tried to re-assemble the words that Cakra had just said, trying to repeat the memory and convince himself his ears did not hear wrong.

"It confused me"

Dusk asked, looking at Cakra's face, he was devastated, it was difficult to take back the right word for his current confusion.

"As I said, I just follow my heart"

Cakra reopened his words.

"This sounds selfish, at first thinking how far this state of affairs I will go, letting us follow the agreement, you give yourself up and I get what I want, but don't humans just plan? while the power of Allah SWT who tapped it"

Said the man while continuing to stare in the twilight eyeballs.

"The plan hasn't been implemented yet but I've given up halfway through, sounds stupid right?"

"I am afraid to play on the sacred promise of marriage to Allah SWT, when promised and said I received his marriage.... I forgot the meaning of the covenant actually I said to Allah SWT not to my guardian or wife, I forgot about 'So I took responsibility for his sins (the woman he made his wife) from his father and mother.Whatever sins he has committed.From not closing the law until he left the prayer', forgive me..I was really embarrassed and I forgot the words that came out of my own mouth that day"

A million regrets appeared in Cakra's heart, remembering how he arranged the agreement for them, he thought this was a Korean or Chinese drama, marriage contracts that are completed with each other's agreements or suddenly over time make them fall in love with each other.

It's real life, which is much more realistic and drama-filled, framed adab and clinging to principles and religion, how it comes to her head to get married and end things easily.

"If the foundation of the family is merely material, how easily the material is lost and destroyed. Today is rich, tomorrow can be a poor person who suffers. Today has a lot of money to make a couple happy, tomorrow can languish because you have no money. Matter cannot sustain happiness, even though matter is the constituent element of happiness."

"If the foundation of marriage is only the tendency of orgasm, then how easily it destroys family life. Today attracted to a beautiful woman and married, tomorrow is bored and looking for another more beautiful woman. Today meet a handsome man and then get married, tomorrow have met another more handsome man. Orgasm invites man to wander, and can never be satisfied by whatever many women or men he keeps."

"If the foundation of marriage is only prestige or popularity, how easily it is shaken.Today married to a respectable noble, tomorrow can be disappointed because there are other positions that are considered higher. Today married to an up-and-coming artist, tomorrow already regretted because there are more reckless politicians. That is, if marriage is based only on maintaining prestige, then there will always appear a higher yeng comparison."

"If the foundation of marriage is only a matter of profit then how easy it is for people to seek many kinds of benefits and when they lose in droves to separate then look for other benefits to be able to prosper themselves in various kinds the aspect they need."

"And I took marriage lightly, suddenly making me ashamed of Allah SWT"

After finishing his words Cakra chose silence, staring at Dusk for some time.

"Let's fix everything and don't consider this marriage on the basis of material and profit, my choice is to look forward, want to try to start all of it from scratch, but if you want everything to end to this day, then I welcome it quickly before we go too far and the ghostly event goes as the parents wish"

He continued his words back, his heart adlas as he spoke, letting Dusk decide for himself his wishes, walking forward or stopping halfway before all felt aggrieved.

Dusk was silent, unmoved, staring at Cakra in a view that was difficult for Cakra to understand, at this time Dusk is increasingly riled up by the words of the man before him who now gives him two heavy choices between continuing to walk or stopping in the middle of the road.
