The Dusk Boundary
Eps. 24(arrival of uncle Agus and uncle Bayu)

I went home with a shaky heart. He did not expect Ali to reveal his heart. But Raya was happy because she knew Ali's heart to him.

Once home, Raya immediately cleaned herself because she had just returned from the grave of Sari's grandmother before going to Ali's house. Raya immediately went into her room and laid her body on the bed. Manda and Lily who saw him just looked at each other without asking. Mama Rossi who saw her daughter very strange immediately approached Raya.

"Honey.. You why?" mama Rossi stroked her daughter's hair. Manda and Lily also approached Raya.

"I'm fine ma..When are we going back to town?" tanya Raya.

"Mom knows less. Papa you still want to consult about something on Kyai Arifin." replied Mama Rossi. Raya was shocked to hear it.

"Your holiday is still a few days away. Doesn't matter, does it?" mama Rossi said as she looked at Manda and Lily. They also nodded.

"There's something you want to ask Kyai Arifin. So our return is delayed by a few more days. Gapapa, right?" suddenly papa Sigit was already beside the room door.

"Papa's home. Want to eat now?" haggard mama Rossi. Papa Sigit shook his head. Maybe he's not hungry yet. It's not dinner yet anyway.

Mama Rossi left Raya and her two friends in the room. Mama Rossi took papa Sigit to the living room and asked why it wasn't tomorrow.

"What's so serious about it? until we don't go home?" mama Rossi asked seriously.

"I just want to discuss the matter of this house just like Kyai Arifin. Who knows if someone will buy. I want after we get back to the city, I don't think about this house anymore" papa Sigit said in a dilemma.

"But this house is the legacy of your parents. It is full of memories of your childhood. Are you sure you'll destroy all your past memories?" Mama Rossi was a little disappointed if her house-in-law had to be sold. But what can he do?

Papa Sigit was silent, he was still confused by the decision he would take. Mama Rossi got up to go to the kitchen to make tea for her husband. You may have to find the best solution in the future.

Meanwhile in the room...

Raya just looked at the ceiling of her room. Keep thinking about Ali's love. Should you tell your two friends? but Raya was afraid to offend Lily, especially now that they had just improved after the events of that time.

"Raya..kamu why?" asked Manda who was curious to see her best friend just silent since then.

" Nothing! I'm just thinking of grandma!" jabaya Raya's.

Manda did not believe in Raya's answer, surely Raya was hiding something from her. Or maybe it was because there was a lily, so Raya did not dare to come clean.

"What's possible about bang Ali?" inner Manda.

They fell silent again, until surprised by mama Rossi who asked them to immediately take ablution because papa Sigit invited them to pray Maghrib congregation.

Raya, Lily and Manda immediately rushed over because they did not want to delay carrying out their obligations.

Next day..

After breakfast, papa Sigit invites everyone to go to the house of Kyai Arifin. Lily refused because she wanted to sleep at home. Finally they leave for the house of Kyai Arifin without Lily.

At the same time, Ilham son of Kyai Arifin came out of his room. The manda who saw it became stunned. After a while ago Manda saw it was not clear enough, now Manda saw very real the good looks of Ilham up close. Manda was hypnotized by the good looks of Inspiration. Raya who saw it immediately nudged Manda so as not to overdo it.

" I didn't expect it, besides bang Ali there are still other handsome creatures in this village!" whisper Manda to Raya. Raya only smiled thinly, but she also noticed Ilham which turned out to be true what Manda said. Inspiration is not less handsome than Ali.

Raya and Manda just sit sweetly listening to what her father told Kyai Arifin about grandmother Sari's house. Sometimes Raya feels wrong because it turns out Inspiration pays attention to it.

"It seems like all the handsome men in this village are just glancing at you. I'm getting jealous!" whispered Manda who saw the view of Ilham only focused on Raya.

Raya is being unwell to Manda.

"There's something I want to talk to you about. It's about bang Ali!" reply Raya by whispering to Manda diverting the conversation. Manda is just a mangosteen.

Meanwhile, at Ali's house..

Ali who was cleaning his house was very surprised by the arrival of his two uncles, uncle Agus and uncle Bayu. Ali immediately invited his two uncles to enter.

"Welcome uncle." said Ali. His two uncles immediately entered and sat in the living room chair.

"Has Sigit returned to the city or is he still living in his mother's house?" asked uncle Agus without saying stale.

"Today, Mr. Sigit and his family will return to the uncle's city" Ali replied.

"What have you done Ali? why are you protecting our family's enemies? didn't you fall in love with Sigit's son?" asked uncle Bayu angry at Ali.

"I can't fall in love any more than my fiance Tata whom you have made a deity." replied Ali who did not want to see his uncle getting mad with his family's grudge.

"Don't lie to us Ali. We know you have feelings for Sigit's son. Aye right?" urged uncle Agus.

"No uncle!" Ali remained adamant about not revealing the truth. He knew his uncle would have been watching him from afar.

"How about you, do we just do it now? they're still here. It will be more successful because our distance is not too far away. If Sigit has returned to the city, we will have trouble making him wretched from a distance. As before." whispered uncle Agus to uncle Bayu.

Uncle Bayu seemed to think for a moment, but then agreed to uncle Agus' proposal. Ali who heard it became worried. Ali is worried about the safety of the Kingdom.

"Uncle.I beg you to stop all this. They never even put up a fight on our uncle's family. Isn't the descendant of the Bisri family who fought against us all destroyed? Only Sari's grandmother and her family don't want to continue this dispute uncle." Ali also begged his two uncles not to do evil to the Raya family.

"Do you forget Ali, if there is a Bisri family that has great power that will someday destroy our family. Our ancestors once said it. And do you know who that is. She was Sigit's daughter. He will destroy us one day" replied Uncle Agus.

"But uncle, she's just a helpless woman. The proof was yesterday that he was terrified by the sighting of his grandmother that uncle sent him!" Ali was not sure what his uncle said. Ali sees Raya as just a weak girl who needs protection.

"You don't know the real power is in Ali. Someday if he uses it, then we can be ruined by it!" said uncle Bayu firmly. Ali could do nothing.
