THE NIGHT THAT MISSES THE SKY
Chapters 13. My pelang

Make peace with the situation, whatever you hate you do not necessarily have to stay away from. Whatever you want doesn't have to be drunk. Whatever you love is not to be owned. For this world has been set forth by Him, His ordinance is the best.

Without pain we will never learn to be strong, without disappointment we will never learn to be adults. Without loss, we will never learn the meaning.

The house came by riding a motorbike. Today the young woman lives in a rented house not far from her office.

Today was exhausting for him. Not just his body but his heart. An unexpected encounter with his past makes Dusk remember his struggle to raise Rainbow alone.

If while pregnant there is Mother Riri who became the place where she poured out her heart, but now she has to hold it alone since Mother Riri followed her child abroad.

The rainbow had been waiting for her Mother in front of the school gate. The twilight that saw his daughter instantly forgot her presence. The young woman smiled with her daughter.

"Mother ...," cried the Rainbow as it ran after Dusk.

The twilight spread out her arms welcoming her daughter Rainbow and clutching her tightly. The woman's tears flowed without being held back.

God, if Heaven knew anything he left behind when he left first, would he have taken it. I wouldn't be able to live without my rainbow. He made my life colorful. I can survive to this day because of him, my Pelangiku.

"Why is Mommy late to pick her up?" ask Rainbow, who is in a sling of Dusk.

"I'm sorry, Mother, dear. Mother had a lot of work," said Dusk by peeping both cheeks Rainbow.

"If Mommy has a lot of work, usually Daddy is invited."

"Daddy is busy. Rainbows remember Mother's message, don't they? Daddy was busy. Can't keep up with Rainbow and can't ask Daddy for help often."

"But Daddy said, whenever I need to, Daddy is ready to help and come."

"Listen Mother, Daddy has a lot of busyness. Can't trouble Daddy anymore. Does Rainbow want to hear it?"

"Yes, Mother. I won't bother Daddy anymore."

The rainbow in front. At moderate speed, the motor was driven by the woman. Before he got home, he bought food first. Today Dusk feels very tired and lazy to cook.

"We'll just eat this fried rice, honey. Mother of prayer first. Have you prayed?" ask Dusk.

The rainbow only nodded in response. Dusk then went into the room. Fifteen minutes later they were both in front of the television while eating the food that Dusk had bought.

While eating, someone knocked on the door. The rainbow stood up and opened the door. A man came with a bag.

"Daddy ...," call the Rainbow cheerfully.

The man immediately carried the rainbow and kissed the two cheeks of the little girl. The man he called Daddy walked in with the Rainbow in his arms.

"Solar, eat?" tanya Senja offered her food.

"Just continue. I also brought food!"

It turns out that Doctor Surya, the man Daddy called the Rainbow. The man sat on the sofa beside his left.

"Daddy, is Daddy busy?" rainbow asked, both hands coiled around the man's neck.

"Why does the Rainbow ask that, dear?"

"Said Mommy, I can't ask for help with Daddy because it's busy."

Before answering Rainbow's question, Surya looked towards Dusk. Realizing she was being noticed, the woman lowered her head. Dare not look at Surya's face.

"Daddy has often spoken, whatever busy Daddy and wherever Daddy is, if this little princess asks for help and wants Daddy, will always be ready."

"Yes, Daddy. I love Daddy" said Rainbow. The little boy kissed the two cheeks of the man.

Doctor Surya, instead of Dusk is insensitive or unaware if the man likes him. However, Dusk had not been able to open his heart to any man. Maybe it still has the name of the sky.
