TWILIGHT
Chapter 21 "Don't Be Stupid"

After the last song, Awan decided to end his performance tonight. Arka felt something was wrong with the Cloud. He looked more moody and quiet. Even tonight the clouds haven't greeted him.

Arka also decided to follow the steps of the clouds away. The clouds stopped in the car park. There were two men and women who were no strangers to Arka approaching towards the bowed Cloud, under the dim light.

Arka began to recognize the two people, the female figure was Nala, a new singer who was viral. Last night, Nala also came to see the Clouds. While the figure of the man there is his cousin, Nico.

"Wa ... Sorry I am dad. I'm sorry I thought I did it to Wa. I'm sure my own way of life Wa, geu has chosen Nico Wa. Sorry" said Nala with teary eyes.

The clouds did not answer Nala's question, he reached into her pocket, took a match and a pack of cigarettes. He took one cigarette and put it in his mouth, then he brought the match that was burning to a cigarette in his mouth. The clouds sucked the cigarette deeply and still kept their heads down.

"Good choice Nal, rather than you pick my rich padlock. I hope you're happy always Nal. Your career continues to advance, so the stars are increasingly shining. I told you, I will continue to support you. Whatever your decision, I support it. Even now the decision is to leave me ... I support Nal. Relax, Nal, I'm not taking the shadow. Just go, no problem for me.." said Awan without looking at Nala, he just kept his head down while occasionally smoking his cigarette.

Nala left the clouds and walked towards Nico. Nico smiles proudly with her lover, the two hugging den kiss Nala on the forehead.

"You get in the car first, baby, I want to talk to him a little bit" Nico told Nala.

Without saying anything Nala went to Nico's car. Seeing his lover had headed for his car, he walked closer to the Clouds.

"Lo understands, right? From now on you have to leave Nala's life." said Nico lirih.

"Gue understands ko ... But to disappear from her life, I belom can ... Do you know I'm still in school with him? Relax, the person who keeps the most promises ... I will not communicate with him, as much as I can avoid him ... I'm not gonna touch him one bit ... Don't worry, I'll take it. I think it's enough, lo ama he can go from this." said Awan casually while occasionally smoking his cigarette which has stayed half a stick again.

"Pinter lo if self-conscious... But if I see you ngedekitin Nala again, I do not hesitate to finish lo" said Nico threatened.

`Plok! ... Plokm! ... Plok!`

Suddenly there was applause from the other direction. Nico and Awan stared at the applause.

"Wow... This is so great for Nico... Pake ngancem all students. Wohh... Cool lo bro.." said Arka while clapping.

"Cih... Why are you here? Don't interfere in my business." said Nico annoyed at Arka.

"Weiii... This CEO is not very good. I have no intention of interfering. But just now you've done an unpleasant deed to brother Awan, there's the article loh..." Answer Arka relax.

"Sat lo ka..." Nico said softly and left the Clouds and Arcs.

"Eh, what's the deal? Peffftt." said Arka then held back his laughter seeing Nico who left with a gloomy face.

After that, Arka walked up to the Clouds. Without saying anything, he pulled the cigarette between the Clouds fingers, then threw it away and stepped on it.

"If you can, don't. Lo saih students, belom can play matches. Here I love cigarettes as well as matches," said Arka relaxed.

Without answering anything, the Cloud gave what Arka asked.

"Don't he know your name?" tanya The curious cloud.

"He's my cousin, bokap him kaka from my bokap. From my same little he. In fact, he used to splinter one gang with me, akim and others. But after he was in UP the same bokapnya, has started to be arrogant he, ga level is hanging out with me and others." explained Arka.

"Udah goes to dalem yo, why here." continued Arka.

They both went back to the cafe. Arka advises Cloud to be professional at work. Don't let personal problems get carried away in work. Hearing the advice from Arka, Awan was back in his job, which is filling out live music at the cafe.

...****************...

I had thought that memories and wishful thinking could hold us.

Cih ... It turns out that I was the only one who survived and he kept changing.

This is the time bomb I built myself. Had I been self-conscious from the beginning, I would have been sick.

I'm losing.

...****************...

At the hospital where Mr. Yadi was treated, Mayang was elaborating on his salary. He saw Nico's Instagram post, there are many photos that show the closeness between Nico and his new talent, Nala.

Mayang felt that Nala and Nico had a special relationship, because it was seen from some of their posts that were very friendly and the gaze that filled each other. Mayang plans to discuss this with Awan. He felt that the Cloud should know this, because the Cloud certainly does not know what is happening in cyberspace, because the Cloud does not have a smartphone to access social networks.

'Tok! Geck! Geck!' sound of door dektuk.

Mayang opened the door. The clouds were knocking on the door.

"Eh, brother. Enter the bang." said Mayang with his sweetest smile.

Seeing the sweet smile that was painted on Mayang's face, Cloud also smiled.

"Where is the father today?" asked the Clouds as he stepped inside.

"The father said it was quiet, if the results of the examination had come out, but only read by the doctor tomorrow. Make the way already fun he said, even already able to go to the bathroom itself now." explained Mayang.

"Well, nice dong. Is the father asleep? Yes already this handsome brother wants to take a bath first yes." said Clouds with a little joking.

"Idih handsome, he tile if you squirm it while bristling. Shower gih, clean." said Mayang upset.

A few minutes later the clouds cleared themselves. Then he approached his adoptive father who was sleeping in the patient's bed, just to see the state of his adoptive father. Then he looked towards Mayang who was still surfing in cyberspace through his smartphone.

The clouds approached Mayang and sat beside him.

"Ngapain the de? Seriously." asked the cloud.

"Again mgepoin artists hehe.." replied Mayang.

"His sleep is too late, look at the clock, 30 minutes are in the middle of the mall" said Awan.

"Well, will you see this bang? I suspect they have a relationship, where there are many more photos" Mayang said showing photos of Nico and Nala.

The clouds looked at the photos one by one. Mayang noticed the face of Awan yeng was smiling bitterly, then Mayang immediately took his smartphone held by Awan.

"Don't you papa, right?" Ask mayang lirih.

"Sad... Why is it that? Brother is fine" said Awan who began to resuscitate his head on the sofa and stared at the ceiling.

"Bang, Mayang knows brother again boong. All stories to Mayang bang. Brother wants to hear all that you feel, do not listen to yourself. Sapa tau abis abang story all, you can be more relieved and calm. Today my brother looked very chaotic." said Mayang who continued to stare at the clouds who look very tired, tired in the sense of other words.

The clouds covered his face with both palms. A tear from the corner of the cloud's eye.

Seriate...
