The Dusk is You
Chapter 7: Go Home
After two days Kiran skipped work, then he came to the office as usual but this time his resolve was already unanimous that he would immediately give a letter of resignation to his superiors. Although not Hanan, but his superiors can be sure to directly contact Hanan to ask for approval.
"What do you mean?" Hanan approached Kiran's desk, which was tidying up her belongings. "Jawab.." said Hanan a little loudly. "I have to go back to Bandung" Kiran said. "But there is no need to resign, Kiran" Hanan said firmly. "I'll settle there. Not to Jakarta again" said Kiran then rushed to the HRD room to return the id card. Hanan could only let out a long sigh, he knew exactly the stubborn nature of Kiran. He doesn't want them to fuss in the office.
It wasn't long before Kiran returned to her desk. A moment to make sure his goods are not left behind, then say goodbye to his team do not forget also with Tio.

"I'll take you to Bandung." Hanan waited for Kiran in the lobby. "Ga need, I've booked a trip." Kiran hurried to leave Hanan. "That's all I can do, I'll take you." Hanan then pulled Kiran's hand towards her car. Kiran could do nothing.
Arriving at kosan Kiran. "Travel will pick up at 2. You can go home" Kiran said. "I told you, I'll take you home" Hanan said slightly snapping. "Well? To meet my parents? Free." said Kiran briefly. "Free and unnecessary." continued Kiran. Hanan was silent for a moment and then got up from his seat and lifted a pack of Kiran's things into his car. "Mas, don't go. I can go alone."
When they check the coks in Kiran's boarding yard, Shandy suddenly comes to them. "Lo gapain?" hanan ketus said. "Gue wants to drive Kiran home. Is everything all that stuff?" then Sandy asked Kiran. Instantly Kiran's bag that Hanan was holding fell down. "Is this what you said travel?" ask Hanan to Kiran. "OK, if that's what you want. Go with him." said Hanan resigned. Then get in his car and hurry away. His heart ached because Kiran had the heart to choose someone else over him. Kiran who Hanan left behind tried not to cry.

About three and a half hours drive from Jakarta to Bandung they also arrived at Kiran's house.
"Assalamu..." Kiran greeted her parents who were waiting at the door. "Waalaikum salam.." They embraced without Mom's face a little worried. "What's wrong?" ask Mom slowly. Kiran just shook her head.
"Mr, I'm introducing this to Sandy." Sandy immediately approached Kiran's parents and shook hands. "Let's go in, son." said Mother. Father helped Kiran lift her bag to the room. "Mom get me a drink first."
Mother provides warm sweet ginger water and a few pieces of cake. The air is getting colder, because the sun is setting. Kiran nerada house in South Bandung area. "Please drink Son Sandy, just as the cake is still warm. Sorry there's just this" said Mother. "Son Sandy, Kiran's office friend?" ask Father. "Oh no Om, I'm a colleague" said Sandy then sipped ginger water. "Well, that's delicious Auntie. The air's like this." said Sandy. "Yes, please try the shreds" said Mother. It wasn't long before Kiran joined together.
"Why Neng? How suddenly he came home." asked Mother confused. Kiran was flabbergasted, "Oh no ma'am, Kiran is just tired." Kiran.

Sandy had dinner with Kiran's family and went back to chatting with him. You seem to be talking to Sandy.
"Udah malem sir, I want to go home first" said Sandy as she glanced at her watch that had shown at 9:30 p.m. "Son, you'd better stay at our house. There's a guest room. It's too late, until what time you get home" said Mother worried. "Yes, it's okay to stay here. Wear your shirt if you don't bring a nightgown" said Father. "But underneath it wear a holster. Your pants must be your greatness." continued the father made a laugh.
Sandy glanced at Kiran asking for an answer. "Yes, stay here first. Tomorrow we just go home" Kiran said, then confirmed by Sandy. Sandy cleaned up to go to sleep as well as the others. For a long time his eyes were not closed. I don't know what to think.
"Yinhhhhhh!!!" the message sounded. "Kiran, are you sleeping? I can't sleep." Sandy sent a message to Kiran. "Not yet, we're talking outside yuk." replied Kiran.
Kiran held back a laugh when she saw Sandy wearing the father's shirt and also a sarong cloth that was sown on the shoulder. "Why?" ask Sandy wonder. "Funny. Mr. Sandy who usually wears a shirt and a suit now looks like this" Kiran said could not help but laugh. "Don't do it, I'm like this." Defend Sandy. "Thank God you're the party shirt." Kiran laughed with amusement. Meanwhile, seeing Kiran laugh off makes Sandy happy. He silently watched Kiran with a smile.
"You're lucky, Kiran" said Sandy suddenly. "Why?" ask Kiran. "Your parents love you very much. Attention, it's very important you. Same with me." explained Sandy. "Why are you?" ask Kiran curiously. "Eemm.. Change me. Make no mood for it." said Sandy. Kiran nodded. "But today I am so happy to see your family." continued Sandy smiling.
"Kiran, can I hear an answer from you?" ask Sandy suddenly. "What answer?" ask Kiran. "About my feelings for you. Like I'm here, meet my father with my mother. I can propose to you right away" Sandy said with a pleading gaze to Kiran. Kiran who was a little shocked and confused then moved "What the hell are you? Ngaco.." said Kiran as he passed leaving Sandy to return to his room.
Kiran walked into the room with a huffed feeling. Her tears are flowing again. His phone was on, an incoming message sign that turned out to be from Hanan. "Kiran, I love you." I don't know how many times today the word "I lobe you" was sent by Hanan, but there was no reply from Kiran.
Kiran was crying again until she was unconscious.

In the morning, he had a bit of bad luck. Immediately he abudhu then pray dawn after that out of his room to help Mom. With her knit sweeter, Kiran approached the empty Mother who had finished cooking. "I'm sorry, Kiran's bad luck" he said. "Gapapa, it's done. You why?" ask Mom again. Maybe because of seeing Kiran's face. "Well Mom, Kiran is just tired. Oh yeah, where's Sandy?" ask Kiran. "Follow your father to the mosque" said Mother casually. "AH?!!!" Kiran was surprised. Because he will definitely meet his neighbors and will definitely be asked "Sandy iti who?" Kiran thought about that. Suddenly a boisterous laughter sounded from outside. Father and Sandy chatted while laughing loudly. And again, Sandy wore a shirt with a little big.
"Assalamu aleikum.." said Mr. and Sandy. "Waalaikum greetings" replied Mother. Kiran is still flabbergasted. "Assalamu alaikum Kiran..." Sandy greeted him right in front of her. "Wa waalaikum salam." neighbor Kiran. "Salim used to dong same husband." Sandy seduced to Kiran. But that way it looks like Kiran became salting and baper.
"Let's have breakfast" said the father who had prepared at the dinner table. I pour water in each glass. "Kiran, take Sandy around to see the tea garden later after breakfast." Kiran who just sipped white water choked a little. "Sandy's going straight home, Mom" Kiran said in a panic. "You're going straight to the office, right?" ask Kiran to Sandy who is cool in eating my fried rice. "Stupid a day, gapapa really. Calm down." answered Sandy casually. Kiran Medumel in the heart "Yes, I know it's your office. But please, go home now." Kiran chewed her breakfast quickly.

Arriving in Jakarta, Sandy returned to her home feeling happy. Then whatsapp group genknya invite to meet tonight. Automatically, Sandy and Hanan will meet.
Hanan's face seemed annoyed from the very beginning seeing Sandy. They are actually close because their parents were colleagues for a long time. So it's like family. However, Hanan and Sandy never get along and agree.
"Miss.." Sandy shows a photo where she meets Kiran, Mother and Mr. Kiran. He took the picture just before he got in the car. "The green light from her parents" Sandy told Hanan. "Nationatt lo, San..!!" a punch landed on Sandy's cheek. "Hanan, come on! We compete in a healthy way. Kiran does not belong to you. He's free to be with anyone" Sandy said, trying to hold back his emotions. "Kiran belongs only to the cave, Bangsaatt.. You can't take him this way" Hanan said, heating up and then calming down by another friend. "Oohh okay, will the cave make sure that Kiran will still choose me" Hanan said with emotions that exploded then left their tongkrongan.
In the car Hanan again cursed and shouted to call Kiran. Hanan calls Kiran, but is never picked up.
