New Hope Together Dusk That Is No Longer the Same
Have you really forgotten?

“I'm sorry to go to the toilet for a while,” said Karina after finishing her meal.

Actually it was just a made-up excuse so that he did not linger between Faris and Aisha. The wound in his heart was still too early if it were to be re-faced by such a sight.

“Eh Rafa gumoh yes dear.” Aisha is somewhat shocked when Rafa suddenly regurgitates the milk she was given.

Indeed, sometimes most babies or toddlers will experience such things because the size of the stomach is still very small so that it quickly fills up.

Azka immediately retrieved the baby wipes from the bag of equipment that Karina had deliberately prepared before leaving, giving it to Aisha with an unbecoming heart.

“Udah full like he is,” said Faris took Rafa from his wife's lap, gave him space to be able to clean himself.

“I went to the toilet for a while,” said Aisha was about to clean her hands and headscarf that was accidentally knocked out of Rafa.

When dusk began to appear, the Blue Mosque which became his main goal had begun to be seen. From his current position he could see six minarets looming around the dome of the mosque.

The ship that had been carrying him along the Bosporus began to pull over, he fixed his grip on the suitcase that had accompanied him since he set foot in the country of the two continents.

His license unceasingly praised the splendid creation of the Almighty before his eyes.

As soon as the ship docked, Gus Hasan dragged his suitcase towards a shop not far from the port. Ordering milk tea with ice that is very cool when crossing his dry throat since earlier.

Judging from his casual appearance, maybe here no one would have thought if the man sitting on the edge of the transparent glass was a Gus, the crown prince of the owner of one of the big pesantren in Yogyakarta.

Finished with the milk tea in his hand, Gus Hasan again continued his journey on his ultimate goal.

For a while Gus Hasan just pegged in front of the mosque that has been standing since 1616, the arch at the corner of his lips was attracted, he said, haru's taste also mixed as he stepped in to enter the mosque which had long been his dream in the city.

He mingled with others, whether it was a Muslim who did come to worship like himself, or visitors who came just to expel his curiosity about the mosque building.

Finished with his series of worship in the blue mosque, Gus Hasan again continued his journey before the night really accompanied him.

Gus Hasan narrowed his net when suddenly someone aligned his steps with him, returning his birel-coated book which again fell without realizing it.

Aisha curled both corners of her lips awkwardly when she accidentally met Karina in the toilet, now both of them standing in front of the sink, but still in their respective silence.

“Sha,” call Karina hesitate.

Aisha suddenly turned her face, waiting for Karina's next sentence.

“I can nanya?”

“About?”

“You ever had any relationship with Azka?” karina asked hesitantly to see Aisha's face change.

Aisha's tongue seemed to be confused to hear the question Karina was asking, not because she still had a taste for Azka, only that she was too reluctant to reopen the wound she had desperately buried inside.

“Sorry, now I'm married. It feels less appropriate if I hurt other men besides my husband,” reject Aisha smooth.

Karina nodded in understanding, maybe Aisha would not want to remember her anymore. He was very curious about what exactly happened between the three of them, Azka, Aisha and Diana.

“I first,” say goodbye Aisha after cleaning herself.

Aisha had not been able to pass through the doorway, her curiosity could not make her not to turn her head and stop her steps.

“Mas Azka the same story you?” aisha asked from the doorway, making Karina turn her head as well.

Karina shook her head, making Aisha nod her head, then resumed her steps.

“Even Aisha calls Azka use ‘Mas' designation?”

“What is between them anyway?”

The flashback

“Where is the baby carrier?” muttered Karina looking for a baby carrier to carry, just in case Rafa is fussy.

Karina opened the closet containing all Rafa's equipment, one by one the door he opened but the result was nil.

When she was about to close the closet back in front of her, Karina saw a pile at the very top of the closet that she had not tried to find there.

When he found what he was looking for, he immediately stepped in to pull it. But accidentally something fell along with the baby carrier he pulled.

A book wrapped in maroon with a piece of photo that also fell right on his leg.

“This is Aisha? Why the same Azka?” murmured Karina confused when she saw who the woman in the photo in her grasp, in the photo they looked at each other with the same snick.

Written ’North Quay, 16 November 2016’ behind the photo.

Karina immediately picked up the diary that was still lying around, opening it slowly. He was even more confused when he read the first page of the diary in his hand, written there ‘Diana Syafira'.

“Karin ...” Suddenly from downstairs, Azka's voice called out her name.

The surprised Karina immediately tidied up the items that had fallen, including photos and diaries maroon-colored without having time to open them further.

Karina immediately carried Rafa to reach Azka who was waiting for them.

Since then, she always wondered about what really happened between Azka, Aisha and Diana.

When he arrived at the end of the stairs Karina was really stunned to see the appearance of Azka, so he forgot what he had just seen in Rafa's room.

Flashback off

Aisha immediately picked up her sling bag when she rejoined Faris and Azka, inviting Faris to come home soon.

“Ngga met Karina in the toilet? Long time really say he,” asked Faris when Aisha who actually came back first.

“There,” Aisha answered briefly while picking up her phone lying on the table.

Faris is just a mangosteen, yet unaware of Aisha's change.

“All we buy tomorrow again? Suddenly Ica not feeling very well.”

Aisha did not completely lie to her husband, it is true that her body felt very tired, plus the condition of her heart which was also suddenly unfriendly after the incident in the toilet with Karina.

Faris who was now aware of the sudden change of his wife squinted at his neutrality, looked at Aisha with a questioning look.

“Come!” aisha deliberately avoided her husband's gaze.

“Gue equals Aisha first yes Ka,” say goodbye Faris while giving back Rafa to her father's lap.

“Oh okay.” Azka just agreed, without knowing what really happened.

Moments after Faris and Aisha's return, Karina returns.

He was quite surprised when he saw Aisha and Faris who were not in his place, but his heart was quite relieved as well because he no longer needed to pretend to be able when the wound in his heart was still gaping.

“Aisha you apain?”

Karina is quite surprised by Azka's question, she has not even had time to sit in her chair but Azka has put on her worried face by asking questions that seem to accuse her of what happened to Aisha.

How important is Aisha that she doesn't give Karina a chance to return to her place?

“Why did it come to me? Aren't you the same Faris from here?”

“Aisha in toilet will meet you.”

“Keep meeting me then you have the right to accuse me of what happened to Aisha?”

“Why do you seem to know what happened to Aisha?” asked Azka with a probing look.

Karina took a long breath.

“OK I did it! Indeed I am the same Aisha about what really happened between the three of you!” karina replied with eyes that were starting to heat up.

“Bertiga?” ask Azka confused.

“Iya! You, Aisha and Diana,” replied Karina with a clear circle that first escaped from the net end.
