Romance at Dusk
Likes and Grief

"Sorry Ta, I can't accept this ring" said Senja grudgingly rejecting the ring that Ryota had prepared. Both are now in a car parked in front of one of the parks in the Menteng area.

"Why baby?" ryota slowly said. Is there a mistake made until Dusk refused or because the process is too simple in the car in the morning as it is today.

"I'm sorry it's just a simple proposal" Ryota continued. Then he explained the reason why this application event was done in the morning and personally as it is today.

"Thank you Ta I'm happy with your reason, but sorry I want us to finish here" said twilight.

Ryota, don't ask, he's getting confused about the lover's attitude. Why does this lover want a sudden separation, even they had no problems before and are still fine. "Why?" Ryota clasped his fingers at Dusk hoping for the girl to give a reasonable excuse.

"It's noon Ta, take me back to kosan, soon we will go to the office right," elak Dusk. He still did not know where to start giving understanding and understanding to Ryota and his fault he had asked to separate first without a strong underlying reason.

Ryota was furious in his heart, yet he couldn't possibly be indistinctly angry right now. Right said Dusk he should immediately return to the apartment and prepare to the office. Personal matters should not interfere with his professionalism. His relationship with Dusk will be discussed back later tonight. Without making a sound, Ryota immediately drove his car to the boarding house at Dusk first, then to his apartment.

Daytime at the office.

Amidst the eulogy about his relationship with Ryota, Dusk received encouraging news. His S2 scholarship was accepted, and tour packages to the laskar pelangi island were falling in price. Dusk tries to stay focused while perusing both news, especially related to his S2 scholarship.

It is informed on the scholarship email that at the end of next month, the scholarship recipients will follow the departure preparation program, and after that they will leave for the destination country, namely the United Kingdom. The scholarship program received by Dusk is an offer of 1-year full study funding for S2 degree from the UK Government for future leaders. After passing S2, candidates are required to return to their home country.

I am grateful for the announcement. He immediately called his parents to share his happiness and about his plans to resign or resign.

Regulations in this office for employees who will resign must be submitted H-1 month. Of course, this rule was made on the grounds, to prepare the candidate for replacement. Dusk already understood this rule, so he had prepared a letter of resignation long ago, if one day there was good news about his S2 he would immediately apply for resign. And today after being satisfied to contact his parents, Dusk immediately printed his resignation letter and gave it to Radit, his superior. Dusk must move quickly, because one more month he has to follow the departure preparation program and preparation of many things of course considering the country that will be shown is very different both in season and culture with Indonesia.

"I am very happy and proud of your achievement Dusk, congratulations yes," said Radit sincerely will receive the scholarship S2 Dusk. Right now Dusk was facing Radit in a special room that only the two of them were there.

"Since you told me that you were going to sign up for the scholarship, and you were already accepted first at the London campus, of course it is a warning that I must immediately prepare your replacement" Radit continued.

"I'm sorry sir, can not accompany you to run the project in East Java," Dusk felt bad because he had to leave the project that was once proposed by him.

"No papa Dusk, just relax, you deserve a scholarship and continue studying in the UK. In these 1 month please start sharing your duties with Dila and Adam, so that the new replacement will not be too difficult to learn your duties" Radit said.

"Ready, sir I will do, thank you very much for your recommendation for this scholarship," said Dusk. One of the requirements of this scholarship is a reference letter that knows the professional capacity, and the letter Dusk get from Radit as his superior.

This day Dusk was busy taking care of his resignation letter, because after Radit, he had to deliver the letter to HRD. After finishing with HRD, Dusk returned to his desk to start sharing his duties and responsibilities to Dila and Adam.

The two subordinates of Dusk, of course, were shocked but mixed happily. Enthusiastically they listen to every direction of their superiors so that later they can help replace Dusk.

Dusk is still loyal to his laptop even though all the employees in his division have been home since half an hour ago. He had to prepare many things for the transfer of his duties and responsibilities, so he deliberately went home late.

Dusk fun hunting tickets to the island laskar pelangi. He seemed to have forgotten about the rejection this morning. He did not realize while he was busy comparing cheap tickets, there was a pair of eyes staring at his action furiously.

"Have you been satisfied with your trip?" a woman gasped as a question came from the man who appeared in front of her. The screen of a typical fruit-studded old laptop containing the results of booking tickets to Laskar Pelangi Island was immediately closed when the man was right in front of him.

"Until when are you satisfied traveling alone? until I forget how to open my own hotel room?" scabies returned.

The woman grew clumsy, as questions kept coming out of the man. Mouth as if locked tightly can not make a sound. The heart beats faster and the imagination begins to drift at a time when the man is rejected by the woman. The first time a sincere man wants to make it a halal partner.

“Senja, I hope we can be serious with our relationship, I want to marry you?” ryota said as she held the hand of Dusk tightly.

The pair of eyes that had been staring furiously were Ryota's. Ryota observes Dusk from the CCTV camera, which leads to the Dusk workbench. Ryota does have CCTV access to all parts of the building, but he rarely even barely observes the screen. I don't know why today he wanted to see his Senjanya. The beautiful girl who had rejected his proposal this morning

Dusk was still silent, releasing Ryota's hand. “Too many differences between us,” replied Dusk,

"But, you know I really love you and I'll take care of this citizenship change soon," Ryota replied feeling the difference that Dusk meant was just about the difference in nationality.

“But love is not enough to marry Ta, weton we must be appropriate and most importantly the first child can not marry the third child,” continued Dusk.

A sentence that is enough to make Ryota retreat from his proposal, enough to make a man of Javanese Japanese blood bowed lethargic and tasteless despite a delicious alpenlibe dancing beautifully on his tongue.

He only realized this was the real reason for Dusk's refusal this morning. About JiLu Ryota had heard from Mas Langit at that time, but about weton let alone this. He had heard it but did not understand it.

"Watten?" askanya to Dusk.

The twilight Plan explained to Ryota about JiLu and weton's ban as told by his father. Not to forget he also told me about his resignation today.

Ryota rattled his hair in annoyance. He could no longer think clearly now. "Alright, we end our relationship now, thanks for everything" Ryota said slowly and left Dusk alone in his study.

The twilight bowed and tears escaped just like that. Why should she cry over this farewell, it wasn't she who asked Ryota to part ways this morning. And when the request has been approved by her why is it still crying. The story of the love journey that has almost stepped on a year turned out to be painful when reality says otherwise. Dusk tried to finish his cry and tried sincerely with this bitter fact.
