Dusk Above the Horizon

Dusk Above the Horizon
The delayed miss


The main residence of Mama Niar and Papa Gunawan.


In the domineering white room, Mama Niar is seen coming out of the bathroom while rolling her hair with a towel that is still wet, she walks towards the ornamental table and then starts cleaning her face.


Glancing at her husband who looks busy fiddling with his beloved old watch, with glasses that frame the face.


"Let's just change pa, has been repeatedly dandy, already fit into the display case of the collection of non-use goods"


The woman spoke quickly, removing cotton and cleaning her face.


Papa Gunawan gave a smile, he was still focused on turning a special mini-sized screwdriver to open the bolt of the watch on his right hand.


"sad"


It was always the answer of her husband.


"Is that worth that watch Pa? accompanied you long before we got married"


The woman sighed softly, she thought that when her husband had an item with his memories, the man really took care of her and appreciated her.


Getting a question from his wife, Mr. Gunawan stopped his hand movements, he was silent for some time, choosing to stare at the old and worn watch.



Older than Cakra's age, worn out and actually enough to fit and no longer worth using, a small sagging is seen in the lower corner, the,the color is worn and the clockwork sometimes moves calmly sometimes like to die suddenly.


But that was not what he defended, but rather a beautiful memory stored in it in the past.


The clock was entered on the most expensive watch category in that era even today, Rolex, who does not know the price list?!.


And someone gave it to her.


Mr. Gunawan released his glasses, he closed his eyeballs for a moment, remembering the appearance of the woman who was still nicknamed girl in his time.


The small-bodied girl with a pretty face that was quite similar to someone she had recently kept seeing, filled many days and hearts with joy that could calm her down.


Wise but so spoiled, self-sufficient with all her circumstances, so warm and able to make her miss him if they are far apart.


"I brought something for you"


The delicate voice lingered beautifully behind her ears, the beautiful girl standing right in front of her, hiding both of her hands right behind her back.


Young Gunawan, no less handsome with Cakra, stared at the netra that later made him infatuated, nervous he felt but he harbored a sense, he was, not daring to erode the distance of friendship because he fell in love with the petite figure in front of him.


He pretended to be stern, displaying one side of his arrogance, but remained with a warm gaze yet with a seductive expensive smile, he said, hair on the side comb with neat and expensive clothes because he is the son of people have, his papa the owner of a giant construction company in Jakarta, who does not know their family.


Gunawan's smile is only for the girl in front of him, not for anyone.


"Close your eyes and let me give it to you"


The girl spoke quickly, dismissing the rows of white teeth neatly arranged, natural pink lips added to the beautiful figure, making young Gunawan increasingly pounding to see it.


Ahhhh if only he did not remember the sin and who the figure before him, he wanted to snatch the beautiful lips, fused in the touch of the heart that might be more deeply to tear himself.


He's really in love with her.


Gunawan closed his eyeballs, smelled a smile and waited for the surprise that would be given a girl who was able to tear apart the hearts of Gunawan who had never been adrift with any girl to this day.


"Pa?"


His wife's voice surprised him.


Unknowingly there was a melt of water adorning the periphery of the old eye, he removed his hastily while his wife was busy cleaning the rest of his makeup.


"Precious, very, from a best friend in my heart, whose daughter I just found after decades apart"


Gunawan answered quickly, he lowered his head back, struggling on the watch that was able to make him cry day and night because of the longing that was never delivered again.


******


I loved him as the last.


But I love you so much that I was the first.


Did you miss me? I miss you so much.


And my longing was a little lost when I saw him who had exactly the same face as you here.


Twilight!.


She's beautiful, just like you.


Don't get mad, I pulled her because I knew she deserved to replace you for Horizon.


We may not be together, but children can unite our pending longings.
