Dusk Substitute
Under the rain

Two days ago, Nissa was in the same town as Radit. Two days later, Zain tries to meet Nissa. But there was no meeting, Nissa continued to refuse and ignore the longing of her little son first. Nissa was no longer the warm, cold gaze that was visible from Nissa's two beautiful eyes. Amira looked at her heart, looking at Nissa who kept on dodging from her son Zain. For no apparent and reasonable reason. Cold Nissa slowly killed Zain in an endless longing.

"Nissa, let him see you. Twenty years ago, even after he grew up. He never forgot you. Every time he met me, he always asked for you. He does not deserve your hatred. Know Nissa, right the day before you came back. He intends to go look for you. Even though he never knew where you were. Although he never knew his two younger siblings. He still wants to find you in the vastness of the world. There is no fatigue in his waiting and longing. It is not appropriate that he should accept your hatred. He's a son born of your sincerity, not your cold and hate!" Rayhan said coldly, Nissa was glued to Zain who was standing waiting for her outside Amira's house.

Amira immediately turned her head, walking towards Rayhan. Bringing Rayhan inside, letting Nissa finish her business with Nissa. Fully Amira believes, Nissa is able to solve everything. Nissa's refusal must have had a reason. There's no way Nissa hates Zain, Nissa's cold demeanor is not hatred. Rayhan refuses to leave, but Amira forces Rayhan away. Asking Rayhan to believe, Nissa can solve everything.

"Lisa!" Shouted Rayhan, Nissa turned her head immediately. Amira is no longer able to force Rayhan to leave. Rayhan forced a conversation with Nissa. I don't know what Rayhan wants to say? But Rayhan's sharp gaze, implied a deep message.

"He's a son who misses his mother. He was a brother who wanted to know his sister. Your cold shouldn't be accepted. Hate Radit with all your heart. But don't show her your hate. He's the son you left at the age of six. Now at the age of sixty. He still misses and remembers you. All because of his love for you!" Rayhan said loudly and firmly, Nissa lowered her head. Nissa's breathing sounded heavy. Showing an easy burden. Amira realizes that Nissa's cold attitude exists for no easy reason.

"Enough, Nissa wasn't that cold. Let Nissa decide, know or forget those who hurt her. Maybe Zain never hurt Nissa. But it is undeniable, Nissa is nobody Zain? There is no blood relation between them. You have no right to corner Nissa. If you can see Zain's pain. You should be able to see in Nissa's wounds. Nissa's silence, clearly harboring an inexplicable wound. Only Nissa understands the wound, it's inappropriate for us to judge. If we're never in his position!" Sahut Amira more assertive and loud. Amira could no longer hold back her anger. Rayhan has doubted Nissa's sincerity. Silence has its own reasons.

"Amira, don't talk that hard to Rayhan. He's your husband, not your friend!" Nissa interjected, Amira turned to Rayhan. Rayhan lowered his head. Clear .Rayhan understood the meaning of Amira's gaze.

"He asked me to respect you, the one who clearly doubted and cornered him. Could it be, Nissa's cold attitude towards Zain was just hatred for no reason!" Amira said coldly, then left Rayhan in anger.

Nissa looked straight at Zain from behind the window curtain of Amira's house. Handsome young man waiting for Nissa's warm words. The yearning of a son who wants to embrace the woman he once called mother. Nissa looked at Zain with a glare. It was clearly the same longing Nisss had for Zain. But there is a reason to miss it restrained and unspoken. Nissa remained silent, looking at Zain who was standing in the cold middle of the night. Lean on his sports car, hoping Nissa comes to see him.

Zain was no longer the same as before, he was so dazzling with his good looks. Glasses were attached to his eyes, revealing his intelligence and compassion as a leader. Since two years ago, Zain has worked in one of Radit's branches. With his hard work, Zain transformed into a great businessman like Radit. He also has an orphanage. The generous and warm attitude he imitated from Nissa. Zain changed a lot, but unfortunately Nissa never changed. She loves Nissa more than Zain loves her real mother Alvira.

Duuuaaaarrrr

Nissa was stunned in shock, hearing the sound of lightning splitting the sky. The originally bright sky, was suddenly red in color. The clouds covered the originally bright sky full of starlight. The sky was sad, seeing the pain of a son who missed his mother. The thunderous sounds of lightning were earthy to each other, impassioned to exalt HIS greatness. Zain looked up, staring at the blushing sky. Zain felt a bone-chilling cold wind. As cold as Nissa's attitude would be her longing.

"Mama, look at the sky tonight. The roar of thunder, like the sound of my screaming heart missing you. The red sky tonight, as bright as my eyes that can't see you. The drizzle that soaked my body. Like me crying, hoping for your warm embrace. Mama, I'm not as funny as before, I'm not as cute as I used to be, I'm not as weak as I used to be. But until anytime? Zain Al Ghifari, fragile and devastated by your cold gaze. Warm your attitude, sincere your affection and gentle caress of love ma'am from you. The greatest power of my life, the reason I want to conquer the world. All for your sake, mama Nissa my wingless angel!" Zain's mind was bitter, staring at the night sky that began to cry.

Zain immediately looked up, staring at Nissa who was already standing in front of him. Zain rubbed his face wet with rainwater. Zain smiled, seeing Nissa in front of him. Happy to see the mother he missed, caring about the cold and the crying.

"Mama!"

"Zain, get inside the house. I'll make you some warm tea. Change your clothes now, before you catch a cold!" Nissa said, Zain smiled.

"Thank you mama!" Zain said, Nissa blinked both eyes. Nissa twisted her body, walking in front of Zain. Nissa invited Zain into the house. But his steps were restrained, when Zain's hand pulled his hand. Nissa immediately turned her head, she saw Zain looking at her heartily.

"What's wrong? Your body is already cold, you should change clothes immediately!" Nissa said, Zain shook his head weakly. Nissa stared in wonder, the head of Zain's arm. Zain's gesture disagreed with Nissa's words.

"What's up Zain? What do you want?" Said Nissa again, Zain approached towards Nissa.

"Mama, hug me!" Zain said loudly, then spread his hands as wide as possible.

"Come in, your body looks cold!" Said Nissa, shortly after shaking her head.

"Why did you refuse my embrace?"

"Zain, you're not a child anymore. You are an adult, there are limits that you must take care of. Mama will forever be your mother. But my mother's affection, limited to attention without touch!"

"I understand now, forgive Zain who never realized. Zain couldn't hug his mother. At least Zain can be close to mom. That's enough!" Zain said, then went into the house following Nissa.

"Mama, I love you so much!" Inner Zain with an unspeakable sense of happiness.
