Dusk Substitute
Arsyila Amira Princess

The dawn greets, the sound of birds squeaking each other. The fog went in place of the soothing dew. A beautiful morning with harmony. The beginning of a long day, until dusk greet signifies nightfall. But the beauty of the morning is not as beautiful as the day of Radit and Amira. When two pairs of their eyes looked at Nissa's body lying limp. A body that is getting weaker, remembering the tired body and heart that gnawed at its serenity.

Nissa's body fell limp in front of Radit. Nissa lost consciousness, as her heart screamed in extreme pain. A burden of mind that he can no longer bear. Nissa's prayers and prostrations, for a moment made her calm. But back in pain, when missed tormenting him. Longing to be restrained, when remembering the words of Radit. The love that exists cannot make Nissa happy. When Radit's hatred was ringing in his ears. Nissa was fragile and shattered in an instant. No longer able to stand upright with a heart full of wounds.

This is where Nissa lies limp, a village pack away from the hustle of the city. Radit and Amira take Nissa to a public health center not far from Nissa's house. A small packing facility. Radit could've taken Nissa to a big hospital. But Nissa's condition is getting weaker, very risky and dangerous. Amira suggests, in order to bring Nissa to the village puskesmas. At least until Nissa wakes up. Puskesmas are so beautiful, far from pollution and noise of the city.

"Sir, gohome. I'll take care of Nissa. Since your phone's been ringing, maybe your family's worried!"

"I'm not leaving Nissa. Once Nissa regains consciousness, I'll take Nissa to the city hospital. Rayhan's coming with the medical team!" radit said without turning his head, Radit's hand continued to hold Nissa's hand.

Amira is happy to see Radit's great love for Nissa. But on the other hand, Amira is angry considering how bad Radit's evil intentions are to her best friend. Amira is moved, realizing Radit's love for her best friend. At least now there's someone who really loves Nissa. Amira felt that everything would be fine. Although it all takes a little time. But patience and sincerity will make things better.

"Well, I'm gonna go out and get you some breakfast!"

"No need, I'm not hungry!" sahut Radit flat, Amira smiled faintly at Radit's reply. An answer that has been spoken for a few days from Nissa's lips. Amira is happy, realizing the bond between Radit and Nissa.

"For a week, I heard the same word from Nissa's lips. Now I hear it from you. You love each other, but you hurt each other. I won't force you to have breakfast, but just remember one thing. Nissa is lying weak right in front of you. If you fall, who will take care of him. Don't blame me, if Farhat takes your place!" said Amira firmly, Radit turned with a look of surprise.

"I'm kidding, Nissa never wanted to depend on anyone else. No exception to me, so stay strong. In order for his weak body to not need to lean on the others!" amira said, then left Radit alone. Amira realizes Radit's dislike. The name Farhat was called by him. But Amira would never care about that. His carefree and carefree attitude, made Amira not care about the gaze of others on him.

"Nissa is my best friend, sober up and look at her pain. He is cruel, but his love is sincere with you. As long as your eyes are closed, he stays awake next to you. Your fear becomes his anxiety, your groaning the reason for his pain. Maybe he's not the best priest, but he's a good man. If only crying did not hurt his pride. Maybe the tears you see now. You've been asleep for almost twelve hours, but he's been awake next to you. Swiping your cold face, hoping your cold moves on to her. Realize my best friend, see his love is not his fault. Nissa, he may have been wrong with your father. But know you, he deserves a chance. Don't torture yourself with your love. For the same love has tormented him. Realize my best friend, he loves you. Fight your pain, reach for his love and be happy with him. Only prayer can I leave between my two prostrations, for the sake of your happiness!" inner Amira, while looking at Radit's back. Amira stood in front of the door. Amira looks at Haru, Radit's great love for Nissa.

Bruuuuggghh

"Awwsss, sick!" moaning Amira softly, Rayhan was frozen still. Radit immediately turned his head, when he heard Amira's scream. Rayhan walked in without apologizing to Amira. Just a pleasant-nonsense hit Amira's body.

"You're fine!" radit said, Amira nodded slowly. Rayhan does not turn to Amira, Radit asks Rayhan to apologize.

"No, he's the wrong one standing at the door. He should be the one apologizing, daydreaming at the door blocking people from entering!" sahut Rayhan was thin and cold, Amira glared. Amira was annoyed at Rayhan's words, Radit shook his head. Radit placed his index finger right in the middle of his lips. When Amira fell silent, she turned to look at Nissa.

"You're lucky!" amira said annoyed, then came out of Nissa's room. Rayhan ignored Amira, not one bit affected by Amira's attitude.

"He's Amira, Nissa's best friend. The son is jolly, but firm!"

"I didn't ask!" sahut Rayhan was cold, Radit smiled.

"When you ask me!" said Radit, Rayhan was silent. The look on his face was irritated, Radit increasingly wanted to tease Rayhan.

"That amira!

"Be quiet Radit, I just wanted to see your condition Nissa!" sahut Rayhan was upset, Radit shut his mouth. Rayhan's countenance was really upset. Radit chose silence, before Rayhan's annoyance turned to anger.

"Well, where's the medical team?"

Radit sighed, staring at the pale face of Nissa. The infusion hose is perfectly fixed on the back of Nissa's hand. Radit is silent, why does Radit feel weak? His mind was muddled, unable to decide anything. Everything feels confusing, Radit seems afraid to decide. One wrong decision would be fatal to Nissa.

"Radit, you have to decide!"

"Mama!" nissa said deliriously, Radit and Rayhan immediately turned their heads. Radit immediately sat down beside Nissa's bed. Clasping Nissa's hand tightly, while rubbing Nissa's pale face.

"Rayhan, get Amira!"

"Why should you call him? Why not a doctor?" sahut Rayhan was annoyed, Radit stared intently at Rayhan. A gaze full of decisiveness, a ready gaze turned into anger.

"Mama!" nissa said again in her sleep. Radit was getting anxious, Nissa's body temperature was still very high. The reason Nissa's consciousness is declining and continues to be delirious.

"Mama!" said Nissa the third time, a call of grief accompanied by tears. Radit felt pained, as he saw Nissa's cry in his sleep. Radit realized, how deep was the wound inflicted on Nissa's heart? Radit wiped away Nissa's tears, tears full of pain she had never noticed.

"Rayhan, find Amira!" radit said loudly, Rayhan gasped and immediately left. But his steps stopped, when he saw the door open.

"What's wrong?"

"Amira, Nissa is delirious!" sahut Radit, Amira flutters towards Nissa. Radit stood away, Amira standing right beside Nissa.

"Nissa realize!" said Amira, while rubbing Nissa's forehead. While the other hand, grasping tightly Nisss' hand.

"My friend wake up, please!"

"Nurul Choirunnissa Ghinyah, dusk never give up. Remember my friend, there are still many twilights that we have not pursued. So wake up and we'll chase the twilight of our dreams!" amira said softly, then put her forehead on Nissa's forehead. Amira's tears dripped down Nissa's cheeks.

"Wake up, please!" amira said softly and poignantly, Radit twisted his body. Radit was unable to see the heartache that lay before him.

"Radit, he'll be cured. I'll take care of everything!" said Rayhan, shortly after patting Radit's shoulder softly.

"Thank you!" sahut Radit, Rayhan blinked both eyes.

"Arsyila Amira Princess, my best friend!" sahut Nissa was shrewd and weak.

"Lisa!" sahut Amira is happy, seeing Nissa sober.

"Darling!" call Radit warm, then run to Nissa.

"We're going after the twilight of Amira, I promise!" nissa said softly, without looking at Radit.
