Romance at Dusk
Proposing

Two months have passed since the meeting of Dusk and Ryota in his study room to say goodbye. And it has been a month now that Dusk is enjoying its new days in London as an S2 student. Ryota's plan to fight for his relationship has not been done in two months. The new factory construction project in East Java has entered the final stage and this week will be opening, therefore Ryota is so busy preparing it. Ryota thinks he will come to the house of Dusk along with the opening event of his new factory later. He would come alone asking for the blessing of the two old men of Dusk.

When Ryota was busy checking the series of events for the opening of his new factory, notification of incoming messages from his beloved mother came.

"Dear Assalamualaikum, mama and papa bentar again flight to Surabaya, see you,"

The mother regularly visited Indonesia once a year to make a pilgrimage to the graves of her parents. The visit to Indonesia this time feels special because the husband will also come in the middle of his busy life. Of course, in addition to the tomb, both parents will come to the opening of the new Akira Indonesia factory and they also plan to accompany Ryota to meet the parents of Senja.

Ryota has told about the end of his love story with Dusk to his parents. The reason for the parents of Dusk was quite understood by the mother who was a Javanese woman as well, while the papa could only scratch his head did not understand.

The flashback

"Come and meet her parents directly dear, however a girl's parents would want to see how serious her daughter's potential partner is," advises Dewi's mom to Ryota.

"That means I came straight there without my friends or family?" ask Ryota to make sure.

"Better like that, grab the hearts of both parents and ask for blessings carefully. Later mama and papa will accompany you by waiting in the car alone," replied Dewi.

"Show me that you are worthy of his dearest daughter, and reassure her well, boy," the father said.

Flashback off

This Thursday morning, both print and social media are crowded with the opening of the new Akira Indonesia factory in East Java. Ryota looked handsome during the press conference. Even London is not left behind with this news. He smiled proudly once part of the team and was proud of his lover. Hmmm can still be called a lover, it has broken up but still has to wait. Whatever he calls Dusk is still convinced by his future with Ryota which he always prays for every night.

During the day, Ryota returns to the hotel where he is staying, the Hanabi Hotel. The hotel is also the home of both of his parents. The three of them planned to go to the house after Maghrib later. Of course their arrival there was not told to Dusk, whatever the result was to be a surprise for Dusk as Ryota thought.

"This is the house of the old man Dusk?" ask Miss Dewi when the car is stopping in front of a simple house but feels beautiful.

"Betul Ma, Ryo into first yes Ma, mama and papa here alone with Raka," said Ryota. Ryota then starts to release his seatbelt and prepares to get out but is held back by Raka who tonight acts as a driver for an important event.

"Wear this Ta, don't forget," Raka ordered.

Raka advises Ryota to use a small sound eavesdropping device attached to his ear, so that he, along with both Ryota's parents can hear the tense situation inside. This idea was immediately approved by Miss Dewi and Mr. Hiroto, to hear the important event of the son.

"All right, all right." Ryota is actually lazy to use the tool, but the pressure of the three finally he inevitably willingly willing. In addition, Raka gave the lure that this recording would be given for Dusk, and Dusk would definitely be proud of Ryota's struggle.

Tok.. tok.tok "Assalamu'alaikum." Ryota knocked on the door of the house that was open and said hello.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Ms. Metta and Mr. Joko simultaneously from inside, then the two walked towards the door of his house.

"Good night sir, Mom," said Ryota.

"Night nak Ryo, please come in" replied Joko. After Joko and Ryota sat on the chair, Dewi went to the kitchen to prepare drinks for her guests.

"How are you son Ryo, what are the needs of the nights here. Dusk is now in London school there." Mr. Joko thinks Ryota's arrival here is to find his daughter.

"Alhamdulillah my good news sir, I am here not to find Dusk, but to propose Dusk," replied Ryota.

"Applying?" Joko made sure of his hearing.

"Betul Pak, I am here to ask permission from you and your mother to ask Dusk to be my wife. I love my father and mother's daughter sincerely and with all my heart. I hope that my father and mother give us our blessing" Ryota pinta calmly and sincerely.

Ms. Metta came out of the kitchen and brought drinks and snacks for Ryota.

"Please drink first son Ryo," bargained Miss Metta then sat next to her husband. He had heard the faint word proposing delivered by Ryota from the living room.

"Thank you ma'am" Ryota said, then drank the warm tea served to her.

"Son Ryo, has it been told by Dusk?" ask Joko sir. He wanted to ascertain if Dusk had told him about the relationship between the two that could not continue because of weton and JiLu.

"Already sir, but is it still impossible for us to continue to the marriage?" ask Ryota expectantly.

Joko took his drink. He was trying to find the right answer for this young man before him. For him rejecting the proposal is a special thing especially at home like this. When he finds out about Dusk and Ryota's relationship, he immediately tells Dusk that their relationship can end, but in fact Ryota instead comes to propose here directly.

"Did Dusk know you were here?" ask Joko sir.

"No sir, we ended our relationship three months ago after Dusk told us everything. But really I really love my father's daughter and mother, and after several nights of prayer I am more sure to propose to Dusk tonight." Ryota is busy with his work during the day, but when night falls he does not forget to ask the owner of the universe.

Mr. Joko is increasingly confused by the situation tonight. "I'm sorry son Ryo, give me time to answer my proposal son Ryo, I will also discuss with Dusk."

"You're still stubborn, Joko" said someone who had just come from the door.
