Today, the schedule of the study group is closed due to yesterday's problems. They are given PR for self-introspection about their respective mistakes. So, after school Melodi decided to go straight to the orphanage. Not going anywhere.
When it came, Melodi was greeted with a Nilam hug. Questions began to be asked by him. Like a child who had just returned from overseas, that was the treatment of Nilam on Melodi at this time. Melody could only return Nilam's embrace. Smell at Nilam's face. Melody felt proud to have such a caring mother.
Melodi is at the dinner table. Enjoy a meal cooked by Nilam. Melody forgot, when was the last time exactly she ate together like this. Considering his activities out there that are time-consuming with his family. Nilam cooking rendang telor, vegetable soup and tofu stew. The simple menu presented is able to make the tongue Melodi dance because of the delicacy of taste.
Geck. Geck. There was a knock on the front door. Melody was about to rise, but Nilam prevented it. Nilam asked Melodi to finish her lunch. Finally, Nilam met the guest.
"Excuse me ma'am." Echoes kiss the back of Nilam's hand.
"Echoes right? Mel's friend?" Asked Nilam while looking at Echoes face.
"Yes, is there a melody?" Answer Echoes ensure.
"Oh there, he's eating. Why why?" Nilam asked about Gema's arrival to the orphanage.
"I want to ask permission from mom, I want to take Mel out for a while. Can you?" Echoes lowered his voice, hoping Nilam would allow it.
Nilam's face looked thoughtful. "Can. But don't be late at night."
"Good ma'am." Echoes are obeying. Nilam must still be worried about the condition of Melody.
"Please sit down while you wait for Mel to get ready." Nilam invited Gema to sit on the front porch rattan chair.
Patchouli went back inside, then whispered something to Melody. Melodi immediately finished the remaining food two more spoons. Then go to the room to change clothes. Five minutes later, Melodi was ready with her favorite plain T-shirt and long jeans.
Echoes propel the motor at a constant speed. Passing through the city of Jakarta. Melody did not ask where they were headed this time. Melody just hugged this guy tightly in front of her.
After passing the fly over, the motor stops at a beach. Melody gets off the bike. The cool air of the afternoon began to seep into his body. It was as if Melody had to feel the sensation.
They held hands, along the beach lips that were so crowded this afternoon.
"Gema, why did you bring me here?" Melodi asked as she sat on the sand, playing each of the details.
"Gue wants to see twilight." Echoes while looking at the sky which slowly turns reddish in color.
"Why do you want to see twilight?" Ask Melody again.
"Gue guess you like twilight, so I should like it too." Answer the Echoes that make Melodi frown.
"Gue prefers sunset over twilight. Sunset is very beautiful, it is able to make people who see it amazed by its beauty. While twilight, it is just as a relief from the beauty of the sunset." The Melody on Echoes.
It does. Melodi should have liked twilight because it was one of her names. But in reality, he hated twilight.
Melodi Dusk is the name given by Nilam. Nilam said, the girl looks like a melody because her voice is so beautiful. While dusk? Nilam found it in a city park at dusk. Therefore, Melodi hates twilight. Because it reminds him of the incident of parents who abandoned him.
"I'm sorry I took you all the way here just to look at dusk, the thing you hate the most." Echoes reach Melody's hand for the girl to stand.
"Nothing echo, you don't know. But, I ask you one thing, don't ever call me by the name of twilight." Melody grabbed Echo's hand, then stood up.
Echoes bring Melodi to dangau located not far from the beach. Sip a cup of warm sweet tea accompanied by some fried sweet potatoes. Echoes of seeing dusk. To him, the twilight before him was more beautiful than the twilight in the distant sky.
"What does your own name mean?" Questions Melodi never thought of.
"Actually, my name also holds a pain. But you deserve to know. So..."
There is a pain behind the name of Angkasa Echoes. At that time, Gema's parents were playing with their first child in a forest. The kid was so happy to play there, he was running around. So engrossed in playing, he went so far from his parents. He was terrified, until he fell into the abyss. Gema's parents began to worry, they searched here and there but found no trace of the child. In fact, the sar team also helped in the search process. But the result is nil.
Gina has not been able to accept the departure of her first child. He always came to the forest, shouting his son's name. His voice was so loud that it went into space. He hoped that the sky would hear every complaint. Until finally, exactly one year after the departure of his son, he was blessed with a son. And Gina names him with Space Echoes because of the pain of her first child.
"So, your brother is missing?" Melody drifted in the Echoes story.
"No, he died. Mama said, after a week of searching, the sar team found the jacket my brother wore covered in blood. They predict that my brother was eaten by a beast." Clear Echo.
"Gema, I'm sorry to hear that." Melody grasps the hands Echoes.
"But, it seems like we are destined to be together." Say an Echo suddenly.
"Why can you assume that?" Ask Melody.
"The Melody Echoes out a beautiful and deeply echoing sound, yet makes two human children feel sorrow. So, Angkasa Dusk prays to present twilight in space that can entertain the two human children." Echoes assume.
"Wow, It's amazing. Where did you learn how to string words like that?" Melody amazed by the narration of Echoes.
"Haha, great am I? You should be proud to have a boyfriend like me. Oh yeah, want my autograph?" Tawar Echoes.
"For?" Melody raises next to the eyebrows.
"In case you will not have time to ask for a signature because of the density of my activities to become a poet and my many fans." Echoes chuckling.
"What kind of empty stuff is that." Melody hits the arm Echoes.
