Dusk Substitute
Go without saying goodbye

"Radit, lady sucks!" rayhan said, Radit turned in the direction Rayhan said.

It seemed Amira was walking slowly with some books. Radit and Rayhan lean on the car, waiting for Nissa and Amira to finish teaching. The events of this morning, still hold curiosity. That's why Radit took Nissa to school. Without Radit telling Nissa to come to school. Radit and Rayhan set off, having finished reviewing the new plant's location.

"Amira!" sahut Radit, Rayhan nodded. Radit seemed to remind Rayhan of a name. Radit doesn't like to hear Rayhan making fun of Amira.

"Quick call him, tell him to tell Nissa. If we were here!"

"Why not you?" sahut Radit, Rayhan turned his head with an annoyed look.

Rayhan got into the car. Obviously Rayhan would never be willing to call Amira. Why haven't you met since? The two often argue, there is not the slightest match between the two. Radit smiled at Rayhan's annoyance. Friends who have been witnesses to Radit's life journey.

"Rayhan, get in the car!" said Radit teasingly, Rayhan indifferent he chose to sit back while listening to music in the car. Rayhan doesn't care, Radit calls Amira or not?

Radit did not call Amira, but he ran to Amira. Radit wanted to ask Nissa where she was. Since coming, Radit hasn't seen Nissa. Never mind Nissa, Nissa's motorcycle isn't there either. There was worry in Radit's mind. Remembering last night Nissa came home in a state that wasn't okay. While this morning, Nissa left with great disappointment. Radit calls Amira, shortly before Amira enters the classroom. Radit sped up his run, so that Amira would not wait too long for him.

"You, what are you doing here?" amira said in surprise, Radit nodded in greeting Amira.

"I'm looking for Nissa, where's the classroom?" said Radit while looking to the right and left.

The school Nissa taught at wasn't big. A small school with minimal facilities There are only a few classrooms. The school is surrounded by bamboo walls. The vast grounds, became the school grounds where the students rest and play. The location of the school is on a small road, the condition of a quiet road. Make the school atmosphere comfortable to study.

"Nissa's home, she's not well!" said Amira, Radit immediately looked up. He stared worriedly. Amira was astonished to see Radit's anxious attitude. Nissa's been home since morning. Even Nissa came just to give the children a task. Nissa went straight home.

"Where'd he go?" radit said anxiously, Amira shrugged both of her shoulders. Amira's signal doesn't know Nissa's departure.

Radit rubbed his face rough, he confusedly searched for the whereabouts of Nissa. Radit was completely in disbelief, Nissa left without saying goodbye to him. Why is Nissa's attitude becoming more and more? Nissa can't keep her trust. His attitude is always as he pleased himself, feeling right when it is clearly wrong. Radit turned to the right and to the left of the road. No vehicles passing by. Radit is getting more agitated, Rayhan running towards Radit. When I saw Radit was confused.

"What's Radit? Where's Nissa?"

"So, he's off today. But I don't know of his existence!" radit said, just after he shook his head slowly. Rayhan was wide-eyed, knowing the truth that was happening.

Amira looked so calm, Rayhan turned to her. Rayhan's gaze was cold and sharp, as if Rayhan realized Amira was actually aware of Nissa's whereabouts. But for one thing, Amira chose to be quiet and pretended not to know the whereabouts of Nissa. It is impossible according to Rayhan, a friend like Amira does not know the whereabouts of Nissa. Amira is Nissa's closest friend.

"Woman sucks, where's Nissa?"

Amira pushes Rayhan's body, when she realizes Rayhan's body is standing so close. Rayhan staggered towards the back, smashing into Radit's standing body. Radit was shocked, as his body nearly fell. Rayhan's childish attitude in situations like this is very inappropriate. Radit's sharp gaze became a signal of Radit's anger that was ready to explode.

"Radit, this woman knows where Nissa is. She's Nissa's only best friend since High School. Obviously he's the first person to know about Nissa's condition!" said Rayhan loudly with confidence, Radit immediately turned his head. It seemed that Amira was shaking her head slowly. Suddenly Amira's attitude turns awkward, as Radit looks at her sharply.

"Say, where is he?" said Radit lirih, Rayhan smiled triumphantly. He felt victorious, when he realized his thoughts were true. Amira took a few steps back, bullying Radit. Making Amira feel scared, even her body shook violently.

"Say, where is he?" said Radit again, Amira shook her head weakly. Radit pushes Amira's body against the wall. There's a sense of trust, if Amira knows where Nissa is. Amira's fear; reveals the secret Amira is hiding.

"Where is he?" rattled Radit, while hitting the wall. Amira instantly closed her eyes, she was frightened with her body shaking. Rayhan was holding Radit's body, Radit was angry with Amira. Rayhan doesn't want Radit to do anything out of bounds.

Amira picks up her phone, she presses a few numbers and calls someone. Radit and Rayhan quietly wait for Amira's answer. Amira seemed to be talking seriously, as if something fatal had happened. Radit's getting riled up, he doesn't want anything to happen to Nissa. Before long, I heard Amira's breath. Shortly after she called a number on her phone.

"Nissa, he's at Parmi's house!"

"Parmi MB!" the word Radit mimics the word Amira. Think of Amira's head, as the final and convincing answer for Radit.

"She's an old granny who lives alone not far from school. His house was in the middle and around him were coffee and cassava trees. Mbok Parmi is like a real grandmother to Nissa. Since she taught at this school, Nissa always visited Parmi mbok. In the past, Nissa often stayed at Parmi's house. Now that she's a big mistress, a lot has changed from her!" said Amira softly and softly, Radit sighed. He realized the truth in Amira's words. The luxury and status that Radit gave Amira. Unintentionally gets Nissa imprisoned in a golden cage. Nissa started to lose her identity.

"We're there!" radit said, Amira held Radit's hand. Amira shakes her head, as if she forbade Radit from going to see his beloved wife.

"Why?" sahut Radit lirih, Amira blinked both eyes.

"I just called the daughter of neighbor mbok Parmi. Nissa was there, but she was sleeping. If you want to meet him, then go!"

"When?"

"When dusk greeted her, Nissa became calm!"

"Why are you avoiding me? what are you thinking? Unaware of you, how anxious I was to find you. Nissa, I love you so much!" inner Radit riled, realizing Amira had not let him go.

"In a few hours, I'll drive you. I want to see the magnitude of your love for my best friend Nissa. But one thing I asked for, don't bang Nissa!" amira said calmly and firmly, Radit nodded without hesitation.

"I'll wait until you're ready!"
