The Dusk Boundary
Eps. 14(the secret of Ali's family)

Ali came home with the fish. He immediately searched for Tata's whereabouts. But Ali did not find him.

"Dad.is Tata home yet?" ali asked his father who was going to the bathroom.

"Don't she just go with you? haven't you seen him back?" obviously Ali's father.

Ali became worried, he was willing to look for Tata again. It was dusk, where did Tata go? Can't he go back to his house?

Ali returned to the river, looking for Tata's whereabouts there. Until dark Ali can't find where Tata is. A frustrated Ali finally goes to Tata's parents' house and tells of Tata's mysterious departure.

Tata's parents became furious. Is this what they've been worried about all along? Tata's father also scolded Ali for not being responsible for his daughter's safety.

"Find my son to see you. If anything happens to him we will never forgive you!" snapped dad Tata.

Ali was getting more worried, he went home thinking about where Tata was going.

Tata's worried father finally asks all his family members to look for Tata. They spread around the village and also combed the river where Tata had disappeared.

It's been five days of searching but no one has found Tata. They were astonished too. Even if washed up in the river, they must have found it soon. But what happened? there's no sign of Tata's existence.

They also stopped the search.

Ali also did a search every day, but the results were also nil. Where exactly did Tata go? He would not forgive himself if anything happened to Tata, because Ali loved him so much.

For the next two days, the village was shocked by the discovery of bodies in the river. At that time a mother who was about to wash her clothes saw a woman lying face down on a stone. Because he did not dare to approach, the mother also shouted to call other residents.

Some residents who were not far from the location immediately arrived and checked the bodies of who was in the stone. They were very surprised once they turned their bodies around.

" This is the Tata that disappeared a week ago! let's take it home!"

They also brought Tata's body to his parents' house. The Tata family was immediately hysterical to see the state of Tata that was gone. Although the body is still intact, Tata returned home in a lifeless condition.

Tata's father was devastated by this situation. He becomes infuriated with Ali who can't keep his daughter.

Ali who knows the news from the residents if Tata has been found and brought home to his house, just go straight to the house Tata. Ali was devastated to see Tata's lifeless state.

"It's all your fault! you must have made my son a victim of your family. Aye right?" snapped Dad Tata on Ali. Tata's father can no longer control his emotions. He also chided Ali. Ali who knew his mistake was silent. But he did not accept if Tata's father accused him of making Tata as a growth.

"What do you mean? what collision?" Ali did not think. Dumb what does it mean.

"You don't talk about my family. My family can't do all that?" Ali also snapped at Tata's father for not accepting his family insulted has made women a tumult of strength and glory. Outraged, Ali went straight home from Tata's house.

Along the way home Ali continued to grumble, not understanding what Tata's father alleged. Even if it's true, why doesn't he know at all.

Ali arrived home. He went straight to his father and asked for an explanation of what Tata's father had said to him.

Ali's father just kept quiet and didn't say a word. Ali is getting angry. What has he not known all along? why do people hate their families so much?

Ali's father spoke up. He told me everything his family had experienced from his former ancestors. Ali was inexhaustible, he didn't understand any of this at all. Does it really have to give the collision as already reported? and everyone in his village knows that?

Ali's father also told me about the influential Bisri family. According to the story of Ali's father, someday there will be descendants of Bisri who can destroy his family.

According to Ali's father, the descendants of Bisri are only two people. Sigit and his daughter. But until now the son and granddaughter of Sari's grandmother had lived in the city and had never returned to this village.

A few years ago, Sari's grandmother and Ali's father wanted to end all their family disputes.However, it was Ali's uncle and other brothers who still wanted and continued all their ancestral struggles.

" What your uncle is looking for is the Bisri family. Although there is no resistance from them, your uncle still believes that the descendants of Bisri will destroy our family later. If one day Sigit or his daughter come back here, as much as possible throw them out. And you should not fall for the granddaughter of Sari's grandmother" explained Ali's father.

"Why then?" tanya Ali was curious.

"Have you forgotten what just happened to Tata? other women can easily take your uncle, especially with their sworn enemies? because they're the real targets." explained Ali's father who started coughing.

" Dad.." Ali helped her father fall in bed.

"Message father.don't abandon the ritual. Don't let your fate be like that of a father. I just wanted to avoid it but I couldn't. The ritual you still have to do every time the full moon comes. Only that will protect you. I'm sorry I had to get you into this!" Ali's father suddenly breathed his last.

Ali was very surprised, having just lost Tata now his father was also gone. Ali shouted as fast as he could. Now he has to live his own life without his father. Ali could not rely on his uncle who was only worldly.

After Ali's father's departure, all his uncles left the village and moved to the city. They promised to return if any of the Bisri family returned to the village for revenge.

The village elders and some of the citizens who heard it became goosebumps. If the Bisri family comes, surely their village will be ravaged as it was when their ancestors were still there. Many have asked what grudges they have against their families. Only the village elders knew and they were silent.

After the departure of his uncle, Ali lived alone. He lives on the fruits of his gardening. Ali no longer felt the heartbreak of women, because she could not forget Tata.

Ali's day was alone. Because many villagers keep their distance from him.
