The Dusk is You
Chapter 1 - Young Coconut Ice
"Morning.." greeted the beautiful female Kiran with a graceful appearance a la office. Wearing a light blue shirt with a brown sleeveless blazer in tune with his office pants and a band of ribbons adorning his shirt collar. The smile of the sumringah immediately sprung from his face instantly made everyone who was already in this room take the time to turn their head for a while while returning his smile. "Mr Kiran, this is a letter I put on the table huh" said an office girl who delivered a brown envelope that seemed to be from a client to be immediately checked by Kiran.
"Morning Kiran.." suddenly a male voice approached her while smiling flirtatiously at Kiran. "For Tio, it looks so bright this morning, right?" reply Kiran with a question that made Tio frown. "Ah engga, just normal. Feelings only times." protested Tio. "Have you started work, why hang out at my place?" kiran Repeated protest. "Gue will still enjoy your sweet smile. Huft, it will soon be Mr. Hanan dateng. Let's see." snorted Tio slowly showed his annoyance. Kiran just laughed amusedly at Tio's chattering. Tio is actually Kiran's college best friend and has no feelings for Kiran, only her nosy behavior sometimes makes people who don't know them think that Tio likes Kiran.
Sure enough, it was not long before a man dressed formally very neatly complete with a suit but without a tie came to Kiran who just started turning on her computer. "Morning.." said Hanan to Tio who then smiled. "You really said I was." Tio left Kiran and Hanan. "Why is your best friend?" hanan asked Kiran while slightly laughing. Kiran just laughed at Hanan's question. "I was suspicious for a long time, he likes you" Hanan said later. "Dam, ngaco. Where's ada? Tio already has a girlfriend and she may not like me." replied Kiran by opening her email. "Breakfast yuk!" take Hanan. Kiran and Hanan then walked to the cafeteria for breakfast.
Hanan is the manager of the marketing division while Kiran and Tio are among the promotional staff. Although different divisions, but their work is interrelated. So, Hanan was the superior of Kiran and Tio. Hanan's career can be said to be very brilliant, various tenders he managed to get with capital knowledge and attitude that is very friendly to each client so they are very comfortable when working with Hanan. Not long ago word spread that Hanan would be recommended to rise to the position of being part of the Board of Directors in the office.
"Going to the office I want to take you somewhere" Hanan said on the sidelines of his breakfast. "Where?" ask Kiran curiously. "Later you know, breakfast was finished first" Hanan said with a gentle smile to Kiran. Finish their breakfast and then finish the job. Today there happened to be one client who came to their office and wanted to see a presentation from their office about a new product that was just about to launch.
Hanan and Kiran have been in a relationship for a long time. Their meeting when Hanan first interviewed Kiran when Kiran applied at the company. Who would have thought, Kiran, a simple girl from Bandung, lived alone in Jakarta to work successfully to attract a manager who was very calculated in the company. In the end, Hanan confesses her feelings to Kiran. Although Kiran does not rush to take it for granted, but Hanan's attitude managed to make Kiran convinced that Hanan is not like other Jakarta men who are happy with the glamorous life with the women around him.

After performing the Ashar prayer, Hanan returned to Kiran. His wet hair looked a little messy, then Kiran smoothly tidied up Hanan's somewhat unravelled hair. When Hanan was about to wear his suit back then Kiran said "Would he want to keep it on? Is it not a meeting?" Hanan looked at Kiran "Oh yes, I forgot. Why am I wearing it again?" Kiran just laughed at Hanan's reply. "Most of your thoughts, until you forget to continue." protested Kiran. "Yes, but strangely I never forgot you?" then we get a laugh from Kiran. "Where are we going?" ask Kiran later. "Beach anyway, look at dusk. Still in the hunt, huh?" Hanan immediately drove his car to the beach in the PIK area. The beach is clean with not too many visitors and happens to be not too far away from their office.

"Nih, I brought young coconut ice" Hanan said with some difficulty carrying 2 coconuts that had been mixed with sugar and ice. "Thank you" Kiran said as she grabbed the coconut ice. They enjoy the twilight that stays a while leaving the afternoon with young coconut ice in hand. "You know what, why did I bring you here?" ask Hanan suddenly. Kiran thought a little and replied, "Why?" ask Kiran back. "The table will be there only in the afternoon, often going away but he will definitely come back to the afternoon. So, I think yes, twilight is very loyal. He's only there for the afternoon, he's not going to the morning, he's not going to the afternoon. Only in the afternoon. I want to, you're like dusk. It will never leave me." Hanan explained as he looked into Kiran's eyes. "You why the hell? How to melow gini?" asked Kiran a little smile. "Still jealous of Tio?" ask Kiran again. "Emmm.. No, it's you who said Tio himself that he might not like you. I'm just afraid you left me, Kiran." Kiran became carried away by the atmosphere by gently holding Hanan's hand and shook her head slowly and then returned to enjoying her dark ice.
“Already Maghrib time, we pray first run out that I take you home.” Hanan said then rubbed gently
kiran's hair. Hanan is 5 years older than Kiran, so Kiran becomes very comfortable when near Hanan. Kiran occupied a hostel not far from their office. The boarding house is so comfortable, many friends and also the owner who is very familiar with Kiran.
