Dusk Substitute
Permission denied

"Sister, may I come in!" saskia said right in front of Radit's room.

"What's wrong? I'm busy!" sahut Radit, Saskia snorted in annoyance. Several times Saskia set foot on the floor. Saskia showed clearly her frustration. Radit turned his head, then put down the file he was holding.

"Come in!" said Radit, Saskia smiled and went straight into Radit's room. Saskia sat right in front of Radit.

"Where is he?" saskia said, looking to the right and to the left.

"Zain's room!" said Radit, Saskia smiled sumringah.

"What's wrong? Say it right now!" radit said firmly, Saskia smiled grinningly. He realized that Radit was waiting for him to talk.

Saskia thrust the leaflet to Radit. The problem Saskia wanted to tell Radit. Casually Radit took the leaflet Saskia gave him. Slowly Radit read the writing inside the leaflet. At first glance, Radit's face changed. As Saskia fears Radit's response. Saskia silently lowered her head, squeezing both her hands very tightly.

"Then, what do you want?"

"I want to go to the show!" said Saskia, Radit put down the leaflet that Saskia brought.

"If you don't allow it!"

"I beg you, the first time I asked permission. Just three days, I'll take care of myself!" saskia said full of seriousness. Radit silently stared at the leaflet that was in front of him.

The flyer contains the event MAPALA (natural-loving students), climbing on one of the highest mountains for three days. The first nature activities performed by Saskia. Radit never allowed Saskia to follow such dangerous activities. But tonight, with all the courage. Saskia wants to go to the campus event. At least for the first and last time.

"It's dangerous!"

"There will be many expert climbers who accompany. I'll take care of myself, trust me brother!"

"But you don't believe me!" radit said coldly, Saskia sighed. Saskia was saddened when her request was rejected. Radit won't let Saskia be in any danger. Radit would more easily allow Saskia to shop and spend a lot of money. Instead of Saskia went exploring the mountain without his supervision.

"Sorry, I'm going out!" nissa said, when she saw Saskia in her room with Radit.

"Come in, this is your room. Saskia and I are done talking. He's going out, it's getting late!" radit said coldly, Nissa went into the room. Saskia fell silent, her heart sad to learn of Radit's final decision.

"Basically, there is only to disturb!" saskia said to Nissa, Radit stared in annoyance at Saskia. Radit gets angry, when Saskia insults Nissa. On the contrary, Nissa looked ordinary, there was no anger or resentment. Even Nissa didn't care about Saskia's attitude that was always sniffling at her.

"Saskia, go!"

"Sister threw me out for this cheap lady!" saskia said annoyed, Nissa walked towards the bathroom. Saskia stares at Nissa's cynics, but Nissa ignores Saskia's dislike. Because almost everyone in this house was staring sinisterly at him. Nissa is getting used to the atmosphere of Radit's house. As long as they were not outrageous, Nissa would choose silence.

"Where else are you? Why not sleep?" radit said, shortly after seeing Nissa come out of the bathroom. Nissa walked past Radit instead of towards the bed.

"I haven't prayed yet!"

"Well, then rest!" said Radit firmly, a voice that shows a sense of disappointment in Nissa's indifference.

"Who's waiting for you?" radit shouted, Nissa passed towards the empty room in Radit's room. A room prepared by Radit.

Nissa left Radit in her world. Nissa is obligated as a Muslim. No longer concerned with the busyness or attention of Radit. Nissa would only feel calm, when she was alone in prostration and prayer. Radit's mansion doesn't make Nissa feel comfortable. But Radit's home is now where he lives, in any way Nissa must survive. The promised heaven is now in his service to Radit. A husband whom he had chosen became the priest of his hereafter.

"Why is he so long? Usually half an hour, he's out. Now almost an hour more, almost 23.00 WIB. What the hell is he doing? If you only pray and pray, why so long?" batin Radit was upset and curious. Radit's waiting was so excruciating, Nissa never came out. There was a sudden sense of anxiety tucked into Radit's heart.

Kreeekk

"Finally!" said Radit lirih, along with a sigh. Relieved to see Nissa come out, Nissa's face looked so fresh. Radit was surprised, Nissa still looks fresh last night.

"Why so long? What are you doing inside?" radit said, as Nissa sat right in front of him. Nissa chose to sit with Radit. He couldn't sleep, when Radit was awake.

"If you're curious, why not enter? Maybe you want to pray with me!" as Nissa relaxed, Radit immediately turned his head. Radit's anger was ignited when he heard Nissa's words. Radit felt that Nissa was insinuating him as a husband.

"You insinuate me, because I don't pray!" radit said, Nissa shook her head weakly. Radit was upset to hear Nissa say. Despite being deep in his instincts, Radit is ashamed of Nissa. He could not be the best priest for Nissa. But Radit's self-esteem, made him upset and unable to admit his weakness.

"I'm sorry, if you're shunned. Trust me, I never meant to insinuate you. Honestly, I don't care if you pray or not. That's your right personally with HIM. You're mature enough to weigh the good and right?"

"I'm not your dream husband. That's why you don't care!" said Radit cynically, Nissa looked up in disbelief. Nissa put down the leaflet that Saskia left behind. Since then Nissa was curious about the leaflets left by Saskia. Climbing something that makes Nissa feel alive. Nissa became a different person in nature.

"Why are you quiet?" radit said loudly, as he saw Nissa walking away from him.

"Indeed you are not my dream husband, but you have become my husband. I don't care, because there's a boundary between husband and wife. It would be very inappropriate, reminding the husband with words or invitations. A man will feel inferior. When a woman teaches him. Just by poking I remind you. The rest is up to you!" nissa said, Radit was silent. Shame makes Radit go silent.

"Mr Raditya, it's time for you to learn to mature. Just like when Saskia asked for permission to climb. As a sister who loves her sister, you have the right to forbid her. But your love will destroy Saskia. All this time Saskia's arrogance and arrogance existed because of your status and success. If only Saskia had gone hiking with her friends. Saskia will realize the meaning of self-reliance. You won't be there for him. He would realize, how small and inferior he was in the vast realm. Saskia will learn to appreciate others. He'll learn two words, please and thank you. The luxury you gave Saskia. Nothing more than weakness and stupidity that you teach. After all, how long are you there for her?"

"For ever!" sahut Radit was arrogant, Nissa smiled cynically.

"There will never be forever, for it will all end in time. If you want to be with Saskia forever. Then learn not to love anyone but Saskia!"

"You mean?" sahut Radit doesn't understand.

"Trust me sir, Saskia and your wife will never be in one word!" said Nissa calmly, then went to bed.

"Aren't you my wife, it means you can't have a word with her. At least you learned to love him!" radit said loudly, Nissa raised her face. His body lay almost perfectly, but Radit's voice made him wake up again.

"A wife is not to be treated this way in front of her husband. One more thing, not that I'm not one word with Saskia. But your silence made me realize, I'm just in this house. I suggest you find a one-word wife with Saskia. So that no one would feel the pain of humiliation in her husband's house!" said Nissa final, Radit mute without a word.

"Nissa, you misunderstood me!"

"I'm tired, let me sleep!" said Nissa, then pulled her body over all her body.

"Why am I sick of hearing his words?" batin Radit.
