Father and Mother, in a few minutes the Bima train will arrive in Bekasi. For all passengers who end their journey in Bekasi, please prepare your belongings. We remind you to stay in your seat until the train stops. Thank you for using our service and see you on your next trip.

Echoes of a warning sound on the Bima train resuscitated Dusk from his long sleep. The journey from his hometown to Jakarta this time passed by his contemplation and sadness, so he decided to sleep even though not soundly so that when he arrived later could stay fit to return to work.

Dusk seemed to sigh slowly, while tidying up his luggage. Although he did not stop at Bekasi, but he had to prepare soon because soon his train will arrive in Gambir, his final destination is also this train.

He then stared at the glass window which looked dark as his watch was still showing at 04:00 a.m. He recalled his serious conversation with his parents yesterday afternoon.

The flashback

"Sampean can not continue the relationship with Ryota nduk," said Mr. Joko began a serious chat with his wife and youngest child.

"There are 2 crucial things to his abstinence" continued Joko.

"Nopo niku sir (What is Sir)?" tanya Dusk stared alternately at her parents.

"The first one is because of JiLu, the third son of nduk, and Ryota the first child. There have been many incidents of first and third children forced into marriage eventually they did not get old," said Mr. Joko. Mr. Joko then went on to tell him about the marriage of JiLu's friend, neighbor and even his brother which ended in a young death by one of his partners.

"But right Mas Langit and Mbak Widya also JiLu sir, pripun (how)?" ask Dusk.

"Bedo nduk, weton they are good, different from your weton," replied Joko. Ms. Metta then switched seats from the previous one next to Mr. Joko now sitting near Dusk while stroking the head of her beloved daughter.

"You were born Monday Pon. Monday is 4, and Pon is 7, which means your total weton count is 11. Ryota is Monday Pahing. Monday was 4, and Pahing was 9, the total was 13. Wetonmu and weton Ryota combined it's 24. Weton mate met 24 that means 'PADU'. Couples 'PADU' if married will often experience arguments nduk, abot (heavy) nduk, if you want to continue," explained Mr. Joko long and wide. As a person who was raised in his village and often as a place of encouragement around the date of good marriage according to the Javanese priestbon, of course Mr. Joko will be careful if it is related to his family especially for the soul mate of his youngest daughter.

Flashback off

Marriage is fate, loving is destiny. Who you plan to marry, but who you can't plan your love for.

An excerpt from East Java-born author and mastermind Sujiwo Tejo accidentally reaches explore on his Instagram account. Dusk stared at the old post and then did a screenshot to save it.

"Can this time my destiny and fate not be anchored to the same figure of God?" inner Dusk sobbed with this sad fact.

"Why did you fall in love with me, if in the end you were the one who separated?" continued.

The twilight tears suddenly came out without instructions. Lucky he sat alone, so he did not need to be ashamed of others will cry before dawn. He was at a loss how to explain all of this to Ryota. Men who are born and raised with Japanese culture, whether the weton ban will be easily accepted logic.

In a different place, Ryota today woke up so excitedly. This morning he will pick up Dusk at the station and all of you will propose to the girl. He wanted to propose to Dusk in person at dawn, the time opposite to his maiden name .

At dawn or at dawn he chose it because at this time, the angels gathered to change tasks on earth. Therefore, he wants his good intention to immediately justify the lover can be witnessed by the angels. Morning is also the beginning of the day. Ryota wants to start the day with happiness because it is at the stage of getting closer to being with Dusk.

"May this good will be guaranteed by the universe. I love you Twilight," Ryota kisses the portrait of Dusk on the background of his phone.
