Romance at Dusk
Dream of Biting a Snake

"Please.. please. somebody help me. help help me," Dusk continued to shout as a large snake wrapped around his body. Out of nowhere the snake came that was clear at this time on his bed he tried hard to escape from the snake's winding.

"Please..." Dusk shouted again hoping that his apartment neighbors would hear screams in the middle of the night. But fateful, his voice that almost did not give any results. The twilight grew even more limp as the huge snake began to bite its foot.

"Please..." Dusk now awoke from that long, horrible sleep.

"Just a dream" said Dusk slowly then looked around him. He saw the window of his room that was locked tightly there was no visit of the dangerous creature. He sat down to drink the water on the nightstand near his bed, then rushed to the bathroom. Currently the time has shown at 02.45 am meaning there is already entered at dawn. The sunrise today is 04:49 am. After the dawn service, Dusk decided to go back to sleep, because the lecture schedule today is still very long at 10:00 am.

...----------------...

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

"Goddess," "Mr Dewi," said Mr. Joko and Ms. Metta simultaneously. The person currently standing at the door is Dewi's mother, Ryota's mother, and next to her is Hiroto, Ryota's father.

"Mama and papa, why come here?" Ryota stood up and approached his parents to come in and sit inside.

"Goddess's mother how are you?" ms. Metta stood up and hugged Dewi.

"Alhamdulillah, my good news is Metta, thank you for receiving my son's arrival" replied Miss Dewi, then she and her husband sat down near Ryota.

"So you guys are?" mr. Joko is confused by the situation in front of him.

"This is my husband, and Ryo is our son, Joko and Metta," Dewi said. Mr. Hiroto smiled and lowered his head when introduced to the candidate. Candidate who turns out to be the man of the wife's past.

While still at the hotel, Dewi said that his father was his former lover when they were in high school. Their relationship ran aground as they moved up to 3rd grade. Adolescent ego and stubbornness are both causes of the breakup.

Miss Dewi also attended the wedding of Mr. Joko and Ms. Metta at that time, so that the relationship between Ms. Metta and Ms. Dewi became good and there was no jealousy or annoyance for both. The three of them last met when the three were in poor ie when they met at the ice cream oen.

(Remember in chapter 22, where inadvertently Miss Dewi met with Dusk while queuing at the cashier, actually before meeting Dusk inside, before meeting Dusk inside, the parents of Dusk and Miss Dewi had met and chatted outside, but at that time the mother of Dewi was still not aware if Dusk was the son of her former lover. Until when he finished paying the mother Dewi accidentally saw Dusk get into the same car with the car driven by his ex-lover, from here he concluded that Dusk was his ex's daughter.

Then in chapter 39, when there is a dialogue from Miss Dewi "I'm sure you won't do that Twilight, I know your family," pas here mom Dewi already know if Dusk is the son of his ex in the past.)

"Well, you know the old man Dusk?" ryota asked in astonishment at the familiarity of her mother and the mother of the Twilight who greeted each other and hugged.

"Your mama was the ex-boyfriend of his father Dusk when they were still in High School, Ryo," replied Mr. Hiroto mediating amid this awkwardness.

"I'll have a drink for a while" Mrs Metta stood up to go to the kitchen.

"Sudar Mett, don't bother," said the mother Dewi prevent but Miss Metta still headed to the kitchen to prepare guests for her guests

"Sorry I suddenly came in here, sorry also Joko has disturbed your chat. Joko please consider my son's proposal, give them my blessing," pinta bu Dewi. He is now asking for his blessing for his beloved son.

"Mama," said Ryota slowly looking at the mother.

"And you know about those who JiLu and weton those who do not fit it, Wi," said Mr. Joko still kekeh with his stance.

"Can't find a solution?" ask the Goddess.

"Yes sir, you can not find a solution, like his son Miss Irma (their neighbor) also has a problem like gini, there can be a solution, tuh, what was the marriage contract should be at home who is not in his own house," Miss Metta participated in the conversation while serving drinks to Miss Dewi and her husband.

However, as a mother, she wants her child to be happy with the man of her choice, especially she also already knows how the attitude and nature of Ryota seen while staying here first, as well as from the story of Dusk and Sky. Especially now that he knows Ryota is the son of someone he already knows, then like there is no other reason not to accept Ryota as a prospective daughter-in-law.

"It's been a while" Mr. Joko went into his room.

In the living room, Miss Dewi and Miss Metta were chatting, not expecting their children to be in a relationship like today.

"That your husband hasn't changed ya still stubborn ya," commented Miss Dewi after sipping tea served to her.

"Makin become mbak, if you have dealt with Dusk. Mas Joko does not want the wrong twilight step or wrong meet people, anyway he wants happy twilight mbak, understand only daughter is also the youngest child," replied Ms. Metta.

"Dengerin Ta, his father Dusk is so fond of Dusk, if you so, do not make Dusk never happy though," said Dewi to Ryota.

"Yes Ma, Ryota promised" Ryota replied. His father then patted his back gently encouraging the son.

"How sir?" ask Miss Metta.

"I just called my friend, a smart person in Tuban about the relationship of Dusk and Ryo whether it can be continued to get married" said Mr. Joko.

"Continue?" tanya bu Dewi began to growl with an explanation of a piece from Pak Joko.

"They can marry but..." Mr. Joko has not been able to continue the story, everyone has been compact in giving thanks.

"Alhamdulillah" said Dewi ma'am, Metta ma'am, Hiroto and Ryota at the same time. Mr. Joko smiled faintly at the relief from his future son-in-law. From the beginning of Ryota's arrival, he was fascinated by the Japanese man's religious attitude, so he had wanted Ryota to be a husband for his youngest daughter. But the unpleasant reality about JiLu and weton obtained, made him stop.

"But what was Joko?" ask the Goddess.

"They must get married on the day of the 11th, for example Monday Pon, Monday Wage or Tuesday Kliwon, then they can only get married when Dusk finishes his S2 school and lastly Dusk has agreed to marry Ryota," continued Joko.

"Okay, for the first and second points, I agree, for the third point how about we call Dusk now to make sure?" tawar bu Dewi's.

"Byeah, please call Ryo Dusk. London will be around 6 hours from here, maybe Dusk is on campus or maybe it's lunch break" advises Ms Metta.

"Well, a minute, but this means that my father and mother accepted my proposal, right? Ryota asked again to be sure.

"Depending on Dusk" replied Joko, smiling. While Miss Metta just smiled then nodded her head.

"Yes, thank God" Ryota said happily.

Tut's.... Video call to Dusk finally connected.

"Assalamualaikum Ta, what's wrong?" ask Dusk from across there. Currently, Dusk is at a fast food restaurant for lunch with his friend from Malaysia.

"Would you marry me?" ask Ryota to the point.

"You will know the answer Ta," replied Dusk who was still unaware of Ryota's location was in his house with his parents.

"What if they agree?" Ryota then pointed the camera towards both his parents and his parents. The four of them smilingly stared at Dusk from the flat screen.

"You are where this is Ta," Dusk realized his parents hurriedly asked Ryota's location.

"I was at home you just proposed to you, and your father said, my answer depends on you, so I ask you again if you're not going to marry me?" ask Ryota back.

"Heh, how?" Dusk still did not understand the situation.

Mr. Joko then approached Ryota to greet his daughter closer. He then explained about what had happened just now. And about the two who can marry on the condition of the three points.

"Alhamduliah, so can you sir? yes Sir, Dusk is willing," replied Dusk enthusiastically.

"Sir, the lecture will be completed soon to go home, yes" Ms. Metta approached to give advice to her daughter.

"Every mother, wait another 11 months insya Allah Dusk come home, buk sorry Dusk close first yes this must return to campus," said Dusk who had been invited by his friend to hurry to campus for the next lecture hour.

"You're careful, you talk to Ryo first, yes, this is my mother back to Ryo" said Ms. Metta.

Ryota retrieves the phone from Metta's mom and takes it to the porch. He wanted to chat for a while with Dusk but

I feel ashamed when I hear my parents and prospective in-laws.

"Ta, I'm in a hurry, but I'm very happy, thank you," said Dusk happily.

"Boye, I'll tell you the full story when you get home, happy re-study my dear" Ryota said, ending the video call.

"Thank you, bye assalamualaikum," Dusk closed the video call, and now walks toward campus happily. She is grateful that she and her heart can finally unite in the bond of marriage.

"Wohh yes, just remember, the dream of being bitten by a snake means that someone proposed yes. Oh so this was my dream last night" said the twilight on the way to campus.
