Romance at Dusk
Say Sorry
Tonight feels peaceful for the night. He enjoyed a simple dinner menu cooked the traditional way by the wife of Asep kang. He is a resident of Badui Dalam whose home is occupied by the entourage of Dusk and Sherli.
Kang Asep's house is grounded and bamboo-walled, and has only one door. This one door is a philosophy which means that in Bedouin should not marry more than 1, a concept of loyalty. In addition, no nails were used in the house. To hold the building materials together they use rope or some kind of rattan.
After they finished enjoying the hunger-busting dish, they gathered while chatting about whatever they wanted to ask the host.
"Kang Asep has been to Jakarta, he said, where have you been?" tanya Dusk recalled her conversation with Asep's kang this afternoon.
"Many neng, until Bekasi also ever," replied Kang Asep, although he was a native of the Bedouin Tribe but he could speak Indonesian well, because often traveled to sell typical Bedouin honey.
"I bought honey, Kang, take it home tomorrow, please prepare," Pinta Dusk wanted to bring souvenirs of Bedouin honey to his friends.
"Ready man," replied Kang Asep.
Furthermore, Kang Asep also told me that in Bedouin, they do not know dating, because from childhood they have been betrothed. If there is no match, then before the application process, it is permissible to refuse the match. In Bedouin there must also be no divorce, if so it must come out of Bedouin In.
It doesn't feel like the night's chat is getting longer. The day was getting late and the rain fell unexpectedly. They begin to end the conversation and get ready for bed. Tomorrow's journey is long.
"Kak Dusk, accompany yuk," early in the morning Sherli woke up Dusk who was sleeping soundly. He was eager to throw away the small water. Dusk opened his eyes then grabbed a flashlight and accompanied Sherli to a nearby river.
"Bring an umbrella, brother?" ask Dusk.
"It's not raining, how is it?" ask Sherli.
"Okah, yuk kak," asked Dusk.
Dusk and Sherli get out of Asep's house. The road in front of the house is very dark because there should be no electricity there. They're heading for the nearest river. Sherli goes down and Dusk helps give light from above.
"Be careful brother," cried Dusk from above.
In Jakarta this morning, it just started to rain. Lightning struck so tightly. Ryota, who had just fallen asleep after he was busy thinking about his lover, was reawakened by the sound of lightning.
"Darling, are you okay?" inner Ryota. He was so worried about the situation.
Ryota finally decided to wake up from sleep. He's headed for the bathroom. The only way to calm him from this guilt is by night worship. He had to seduce God in a third of the night as it is today for the salvation of Dusk as well as for forgiveness from Dusk the next day when the two met.
The warning from the leader of the group has not lost true in memory but Dusk has now fallen. Dusk suddenly dizzy, because today was the second day he had the arrival of the red guest, plus a steep and slippery road.
"But dusk is not papa? yuk sat down first, "Sherli helped Dusk to stand up and immediately asked Dusk to rest for a while while drinking plenty of water.
"Easy?" ask Sherli.
"Already brother, yuk continued already strong really," Dusk forced to stand in order to immediately catch up with other group friends. Dusk a little limp when walking because his legs were sprained. Kang Asep gave her a cane to help her walk.
At 12:00 the group arrived at Cekuem Village and after that they will use an ELF vehicle that will take them to Rangkas Bitung station to return to Jakarta.
Around 15:00 they arrived at Rangkas Bitung station. The drizzle starts to pierce, and soon after the KRL comes. God was so kind to them this afternoon, they could still sit on the KRL in the middle of the crowded passengers.
Dusk turned on its data package after it had been shut down since yesterday. Dozens of messages flooded his inbox. The message from Ryota eventually becomes the first one he opens. He can imagine if from yesterday his lover was very worried about him who was walking full of likes in Bedouin
"I'm fine Ta, it's a trip home to Tanah Abang station, sorry to worry," Dusk sent a short message to Ryota. Afterwards Dusk contacted both his parents and brother to make sure he was okay at this time
Shortly after the message was read by Ryota, the Japanese Javanese man immediately called his girlfriend. He had to make sure straight through the voice if his lover was okay.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry," Ryota said. She felt that she was so guilty and had to apologize to Dusk immediately.
"I am the one who should apologize Ta, have been selfish and ignore responsibility, sorry, sorry and sorry Ta," replied twilight so as not to disturb his next-door friend who was asleep.
"No, sweetheart. The wrong me cannot understand you. I'm sorry, I should have been able to behave better yesterday" Ryota said.
"I'm the wrong one, baby. I was immature yesterday. I was wrong so I had to apologize," Even Dusk felt the biggest mistake was in him. He is hard to divide his time between studying for S2 scholarship interview and work. As a result, the study was finished until late at night, and the next morning he became not too focused to work optimally.
"We're both wrong, baby. And we have to be able to change for the better. This incident is an experience for us in moving forward" Ryota broke up. He and Dusk were just scrambling wrong without end. In the end, neither of them can be justified.
"You're right" answered Dusk. Dusk is aware that a good relationship should acknowledge each other's mistakes and do not hesitate to apologize first. In addition, each person must also be aware and ready to change in order for the relationship to be better.
"I picked you up at the station?" ask Ryota. He had missed the lover who had been more than 24 hours no news before.
"Alright, see you there (meeting you there)." The two hang up the phone call and Dusk intends to close his eyes for a while before arriving at his destination.
