Dusk Substitute
Stay plan

"Assalammualaikum!" Inner Aira, while looking straight at the house of Radit.

Aira was standing right in front of Radit's house. Staring doubtfully, will step or remain standing in front of the door. The noise in the streets, not necessarily disturbing the heart and chaos of Aira. There is an inexplicable doubt. The weakness that made Aira unable to step. Aira was really in a dilemma. A choice that was never in his shadow. Aira sighed, as if a heavy weight was on her shoulders. His steps felt heavy, his gaze blurred. As if nothing was visible. Aira felt lonely in the afternoon breeze. A soothing twilight, feels peerless and gamang visible.

"I'm home!" Said Hana, a melodious voice that disperse the daydream of Aira. Hana the younger sister who always accompanies her lonely days. The voice he had heard all his life.

"Wait, comein!" Said Aira, holding Hana's hand. Hana's head is seen, the final answer that can never be changed. Aira stared fixedly at Hana, nodding Aira's head. The signal requests Hana, that she follow Aira's words.

"From the beginning, I was just dropping off brother!"

"For mama's sake!" Aira said softly, Hana sighed. Aira nodded the second time, the blink of Aira's eyes. Feeling warm and mending, Hana was silent. Hana stared at Radit's magnificent house. The father who made her cry.

Aira pulls Hana by the hand, stepping on the marble terrace of Radit's magnificent home. The sound of Hana's car, Radit's heart was heard that was holding back the longing. So Radit was standing right behind the door. Awaiting the warm knock of two hewedawari. But his heart felt pained, looking at Hana's head. The obvious rejection hurt her heart. It showed how much the wound in Hana's heart was in the endless. Radit hid behind the window curtain. Staring at the two princesses who are now transformed into wingless angels. Long Radit endured his longing, waiting warmly for the hand of Aira and Hana. Patience is constantly tested, a sincere proof of a father's love.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

The expected knock sounded, Radit was in disbelief. After twenty years, they finally came to his house. Radit's hands were trembling, confused as to what kind of behavior? Slowly Radit opened the door. Radit stared at Aira and Hana. Nervous to behave to them.

"Assalammualaikum!" Sapa Aira is friendly, then draws Radit's hand. Aira kissed Radit's back. The day Radit rumbled, not believing Aira would do any of this. Aira looked at Hana. Aira's eye gesture, as if asking Aira to kiss the back of Radit's hand. Hana looks doubtful, Radit feels clearly Hana's rejection.

"Hana!"

"Assalammualaikum!" Sapa Hana, shortly after Aira asks Hana to greet Radit. Hana approaches Radit, kissing the back of Radit's hand. The newness that immediately shook Radit's heart. Removing the longing for her two beautiful daughters.

"Come in!" Sahut Radit, Aira nodded while pulling her small suitcase. Hana was about to twist her body, stepping away from the house that had left the trauma so heavy.

"Hana, wait till dinner!"

"But brother!"

"Sister please, at least accompany brother until later tonight!" Said Aira, Hana sighed. Nodding her small, made Aira smile happily.

"Why is it still outside? Come inside!" Said Zain, Aira and Hana silently silent.

Aira and Hana step in doubt, Zain and Radit realize the awkwardness that is happening. They could understand the difficulty of Aira and Hana. With a big heart, Radit and Zain understand the turmoil of the hearts of Aira and Hana. Slowly Aira and Hana enter Radit's mansion. A really slow step, thinking will go back to stepping out. Hana clasped tightly onto the end of Aira's long hijab. Kala Hana saw Alvira standing up to greet them. Hana's fear was obvious, the trauma she had experienced. An unexpected encounter that had existed in their past. Hana's fear, inversely proportional to Aira's friendliness. Politely, Aira greeted Alvira. His father's wife at this time.

"You can stay in Nissa's room. The room never opens, but I always clean it!" Alvira said, Aira nodded slowly.

"Thank you!" Aira said, Alvira nodded slowly.

"Sama-sama, clean yourself up. When it's time for dinner, I'll call you both!" Alvira said warmly, Radit silently stared warmly at Alvira. A heartfelt warm attitude was given to Aira and Hana.

"I'll take you both!" Zain said, then walked right in front of Aira and Hana. Leaving Radit and Alvira.

"Thank you!"

Tap Tap Tap

"Aira, why are you down? Rest, you must be tired!" Radit said, shortly after seeing Aira go down.

"I want to help you in the kitchen!" Said Aira flatly, Radit nodded slowly. Before long, Radit bowed silently. Aira's cold attitude had made her come to a realization. If real Aira never thought it existed.

"Father!" Sapa Aira suddenly, Radit immediately looked up. A call he so wanted to hear. Now real sounds, said from the lips of his little princess.

"Yes Aira!" Sahut Radit doesn't believe.

"Why do we have to do all this? If this is all wrong!"

"You mean!" Radit doesn't understand.

"Why marry Aunt Alvira, if you never wanted her. Papa, if the big decision papa has hurt many hearts. Destroying two hearts that love you so much. Make the same mistakes and repeat!"

"Mir!" Radit said softly, not understanding the direction of Aira's words.

"Auntie Alvira!"

"Why with him? Do you mind if he's in this house? If it is, I will ask Alvira to stay in the pavilion!" Radit said, Aira shook her head with a dislike look. Radit is further confused by Aira's attitude. The look did not like Aira, making Radit upset.

"Then!"

"Mama's right, papa will never betray mama. But papa will also not be able to make your mother happy. Today, I understand the implied meaning of my mother's words. Mama's departure, the reason papa's heart was hurt. But papa's marriage to Aunt Alvira. Reason three hearts broken at once, the hearts of mama, papa and aunt Alvira. If papa had never married Aunt Alvira. Never will I see the pain in Aunt Alvira's face. My mother would never disappear for twenty years. It won't be me and Hana away from papa for long!"

"Aira, what's really going on?"

"Why did you marry Aunt Alvira? If papa really hurt him. Ignoring love, ignoring his attention, tormenting his mind and one more important thing. Papa broke the heart of a woman who loved him so much. The same woman, once gave birth to papa. The same woman has become papa's sister. The same woman is now standing in front of Papa. Two daughters who just knew papa, but now disappointed with papa's attitude. Before you hurt a woman. Remember, the women who have been in my life. Especially us, the daughter of a father who will live with a priest. Imagine pa, if our priest is like papa. The same attitude as papa's attitude towards Aunt Alvira!" Hana said loudly, Radit was silent.

"Papa, forgive our attitude!" Aira.

"Wrong papa, keep faithful to your mama!"

"Wrongly, when you've made a promise to Aunt Alvira!" Hana said loud and firm.

"Then, what should you do? So that you love papa!"

"Nothing, papa just needs to try to love Aunt Alvira and we love mama!" Said Aira lirih.
