Dusk Substitute
Return from the Hospital

Time passed so quickly, a week passed without meaning. Radit and Nissa's relationship is getting colder. Tasteless, silent coloring the wedding days of Radit and Nissa. It is a cover for the relationship of the two. No hugs, no warmth, no more loving voices. Everything is different, even though the heart has each other. Radit and Nissa are silent, respecting each other's decisions. Thinking time will give you the best decision.

For a week, Zain was hospitalized. Almost every day, Radit is in the hospital. Radit came home just to change clothes. Every time Radit came home, Nissa was never home. Is it coincidence or is it intentional? Never met, undermining different judgments. Both Radit and Nissa, don't want to explain. Both chose silence, as the best way. Their last meeting, left a wound and misunderstood. Therefore, stay away as if it were true. At least the two of them had some time to calm themselves down for each other. Seeking the meaning of their togetherness during this time.

Hospital

After a week of treatment, Zain will be home today. Alvira chose to give up, she did not want Zain to get hurt again. Alvira lets Zain stay with Radit. But within a week, Alvira asked for time with Zain. Alvira wants to be a good mother to a son who never knew her. Alvira does not want to lose any more time, she wants to feel the happiness of being a mother. Although unknowingly, his presence made other mothers hurt.

"Alvira, I will finish the administration of Zain's return!"

"Yes!" sahut Alvira flat, Radit out while carrying Zain's file. There was a happy feeling hearing Zain come home. But there was a side in his heart that was empty. Radit was confused to have to act to Nissa.

A week is not a minute. Tens of hours passed, without Nissa beside him. Hundreds of minutes passed by, without seeing Nissa's face. Thousands of seconds were lost, without hearing Nissa's voice. Radit is empty without Nissa, a fact clearly visible from Radit's body gestures. Without passion in his life. Radit begins to realize how much he misses Nissa.

After waiting for almost an hour, Zain was ready to return home. Radit pushes Zain's wheelchair, while Alvira follows alongside Radit. Ifa walked a short distance behind Radit and Alvira. Ifa brought some Zain gear. Looking happy Zain's face, he finally returned home. Zain longed for the one person who never came to see him. The yearning of a lim-year-old boy that no adult ever understood.

"Mama!" zain shouted, Alvira turned towards Zain. Alvira felt Zain was calling her. But Alvira's guess is wrong, not him who is being called Zain.

Radit stared at Zain's index finger. He looks like a person who is very much missed. Radit's heart skipped a beat, his body weak and powerless. I want Radit to run to Nissa. In order to remove the longing that gnaws at him. Radit was unable to hold his heart, but his steps were too weak. It was as if Nissa was so far away, that Radit was unable to reach her.

"Mama!" zain shouted, then got out of the wheelchair. Zain ran towards Nissa, he was no longer able to resist the longing for her. Zain was happy to see Nissa in the hospital. Thinking Nissa came to pick him up. Zain loved Nissa so much, for her only Nissa was his mother.

"Zayn!" nissa said surprised, when there were hands hugging her legs. Nissa immediately sat crouching in front of Zain. Nissa rubbed Zain's face, then kissed Zain's forehead in love.

"Mama!" zain said softly, with a stifled cry. Nissa pulled Zain's body in her arms. Nissa missed Zain very much. Despite his arrival to the hospital, not to meet with Zain.

Nissa looked up, she saw Radit standing right beside Alvira. The couple is happy, before she was in Radit's life. Nissa looked down, covering up her pain. The warmth between Radit and Alvira. Increasingly added to the wound in Nissa's heart. But his disappointment is not more important than Zain's recovery and happiness.

"Sorry, I can't go see Zain. For a few days, mama's been out of town!" nissa said she gave an explanation. Zain was crying in Nissa's arms. Seemed a longing that was too big, until Zain got hurt. Zain's close embrace, showing an unspeakable longing. Zain's cry sounded heartbreaking, the selfishness of the adults made Zain hurt.

"Nissa, your lab results and the drugs!" zahra shouted, I turned towards Zahra. Beautiful obstetrician. An old friend at High School, now Nissa's personal doctor.

"Thank you!" sahut Nissa, while entering the file and the drug that Zahra gave.

"Lab and drug results, what's up with Nissa? What the hell happened to him? Why was he in such a hurry to enter it? As if he was afraid I'd see him!" batin Radit was anxious, while looking straight at Nissa.

"His lamp, who is Nissa?" said Zahra, while rubbing Zain's head slowly. Zahra blinked her eyes, signalling Nissa should immediately take Zain down. Nissa's body isn't as strong as it used to be, there's a weak one she has to guard.

"He's my son!" sahut Alvira, then took Zain from Nissa's sling. Alvira forced Zain down, Alvira did not care about Zain's crying. Zahra nodded with a smile. Understand the attitude of Alvira who does not like his hospitality.

"It's not wrong to come back to fill your heart, but it's my fault that we can't keep our faith. It's not your fault that you feel comfortable with her, but it's my fault that you never understand your heart. I'm not a great woman, willing to share love. I'm just an ordinary woman, who always expects happiness and love!" inner Nissa, upon seeing Radit and Alvira trying to calm Zain together.

"Zahra, I have to go back to school!" pamit Nissa to Zahra, the two hugged each other. Zahra blinked both eyes, a gesture she reminded Nissa of something.

"Zain, mama's gone to work. Zain, go home with papa and mama Alvira!"

"Mama!" zain said, holding Nissa's hand. Nissa turned her head, Nissa kissed the back of Zain's hand warmly.

"Mama will play with Zain at home!" nissa said, shortly after kissing the back of Zain's hand.

"I have to go back to school!" pamit Nissa, then pulled Radit's hand and kissed Radit's back. Zahra flinched, when she saw Nissa's attitude towards Radit. It was not long before Zahra nodded. Understanding the relationship between Radit and Nissa.

"I'll drive you!" said Radit, holding Nissa's hand.

"No need, they need you!" nissa said politely, while clasping Radit's hand. Nissa staggered, until Zahra supported her body. Radit was about to approach Nissa, but stopped as Nissa stretched out her hand.

"I'm sick to see your silence. I want to see your anger, so I'm sure you remember me. Your body almost fell, as if slapping me. Proving inside I hurt your heart. Nissa, I'm sorry for ignoring your wounds. But believe me, there's only your name in my heart!" inner Radit, while staring at the back of Nissa who was away.
