Romance at Dusk

Romance at Dusk
JiLu (Siji and Telu)


Langit Putra Gautama, an accounting teacher at one of SMK in the hometown of Dusk. He and several other fellow teachers are now taking students at his school to participate in the National Student Competition. Because the race was held in Jakarta, then Sky plans to meet his prettiest sister as well as bring the mother's care.


The 35-year-old man with a face so similar to Dusk was standing in front of the hotel waiting for his sister. His right hand is busy scrolling scholarship information on Instagram, while his left hand holds a bag of souvenirs for his sister.


"Mas," Dusk waved at his brother. He walked from his boarding house to the hotel where Mas Langit stayed, which happened to be next to Ryota's apartment.


Today Dusk rushed to go home quickly, then prepared clothes for him to stay at Ryota's apartment with his brother of course, if only himself he never wanted to visit his lover's apartment, he said, fear khilaf.


Dusk approached his brother and did not forget to kiss the hands of Mas Langit, wherever they are courtesy towards older family members should always be prioritized.


"Which lyota?" ask Sky. Sky already knows the relationship of his sister and Ryota, apart from the mother also Dusk who had told by the time they returned home together yesterday.


"She's meeting after dinner as well, so I'm told to just go in, go there," pointed at Dusk at the apartment next to the hotel.


Dusk with the sky goes hand in hand towards the apartment. The two did not forget to report to the security in order to get to the Ryota unit, the unit owner also had information to the security beforehand so that his lover and prospective brother-in-law did not have trouble getting in.


"There is a deposit from the deck," said Sky, both are now in the elevator.


"Well, what is a mas?" ask Dusk.


"Buying jerky, said the mother until she wanted to go home yesterday was unfortunately not able to make it," replied Sky. Dusk smiled happily imagining tonight would eat his favorite yeast jerky menu. Yeast jerky is a term for jerky equipped with coconut milk. For Dusk, he did not matter if he only ate this rice, because Bu Metta's work was the best for him.


"Sampean used to play here?" tanya Langit, seeing Dusk seem quite familiar with the items in Ryota's apartment. The sky sat on the sofa, while Dusk took water for his brother.


"This is the second time, the first time here to eat malem with his parents Ryo, all nginep, I'm bobo with his mother," explained Dusk. The sky seemed to nod in understanding as the mouth was full of water.


"According to the Sky, how's Ryo?" The dusk sat down next to his brother.


"Well, polite, friendly and affectionate-looking too by the way, kenopo no problem? sky Search.


"He's the first child of mas" replied Dusk lethargic.


"meaning?" ask the confused Sky.


"Haishh mas this Javanese is not the case, iku lo mas jilu understand right?" say Dusk.


Jilu stands for Siji and Telu. Siji means first and Telu means Third. Jilu dusk means the marriage of the first child with the third child. In Javanese belief, if this marriage is still held can cause disaster and bad luck in the household later. Ryota is the first and only child, while he is the third and last child.


"Oh yes," replied the Sky. The two fell silent for a while, until the phone of Dusk rang that his food order had arrived in the lobby and meant that he had to come down immediately to retrieve it.


"Opened yuk jerky raginya, mas laper," said Sky break the tension.


Dusk enjoys warm white rice only with beef jerky yeast, while his brother chooses grilled chicken and occasional icing side dishes his sister.


"Kok, sir, do you have my blessing?" wonder Dusk. Mr. Joko his father, who he knew so strictly and saklek when it comes to Java count when looking for dates for neighbors who ask for help, but why for his own son he gave his blessing, he said, isn't the risk big.


"Do you know that jilu?" tanya Dusk returned and was replied to a nod by the Sky.


"Mas sure Widya's mate mas, and mas try to convince the father, thank God given blessing, because if according to the weton count we fit and well, Ryo's weton what?" ask Sky.


"I don't know yet, I'll try to ask his mother, but why am I afraid, mas," complained Dusk, really he can't imagine if in the end he can't be with Ryota.


"Leave what makes you doubt, ask God for instructions on the deck, if indeed the mate must be facilitated the way," The sky looked closely at his sister's eyes that began to fade maybe soon tears began to fall.


"If the weton doesn't match how you are?" tanya Dusk began to think of a negative scenario for her future.


"Try asking first what weton he, hopefully suitable, later help talk to the father how the solution if not suitable," Sky tried to calm his sister.


"But know where it fits or not?" insist Dusk.


"Mas also gatau hahaha, so later I ask the father first, it was calm first." The sky stood towards the sink to wash his hands of grilled chicken. Although Sky lives close to his parents but for the business of Java calculation, he never understood and did not want to understand about it.


The sky came back from the sink. He saw his sister who seemed to still think deeply with her status with the lover, jilu. A long series of questions appear to go around the shaft of the head of the Twilight. The sky felt guilty, its base changed.


"You still want to be a professor?" The sky tried to shift the topic, so that the fret in the heart of Dusk could evaporate a little. He knew his sister was now aggressively starting to hunt for scholarships, however they grew up in the environment of parents who are educators, making the profession they can pursue also later. If Langit majored in accounting education and is currently a teacher, Dusk with S1 pure accounting wants to achieve S2 in order to become a lecturer. Unlike the second child, Angkasa is very comfortable as a machinist and does not intend to be an educator.


"Now look for scholarship information, if there is info share dong mas, who went abroad if you can," Dusk raised his eyebrows hoping his brother would help to achieve his dream.


Sky relieved, the new topic he threw changed the mood of Dusk for the better, ahh better chat jilu and weton will he pending next time.


"To China would you?" ask Sky. His recommendation is derived from the results of the instragram scroll before his sister came earlier.


"Want to see the snow in London" chirped at the twilight. He imagined being able to cycle to campus, or if lucky to meet One Direction personnel.


"In China there is also snow, and remember the old saying that demand Science to reach China, try to apply to several campuses, do not focus on London.


"Well, well, then I'll try to browse again a lot about the cool campuses in China," Dusk then stood up to clean his hands and take a cold drink.


The door was open, the owner of the apartment unit had come and walked towards the Sky, it seemed Ryota rushed home after the meeting and did not have dinner with his colleagues.


*Weton is a calculation of a person's birthday that is used as a benchmark to designate a particular prophecy. How to calculate weton is usually based on the day and market. The day refers to Monday to Sunday, while the markets are Pon, Wage, Kliwon, Legi and Pahing. Examples of weton, for example: Monday Pon, Tuesday Kliwon and so on.
