Asa At The End of Lembayung

A Commitment

You know, when you really realize that life is about coming and going, you will not be too dissolved to feel the pain of losing.[ Grass Ilang @akaksenja]

It has been almost six months since Rehan decided to open an electronic service place, which means more or less, it has been eight months since he never knew again the news of his ex-girlfriend Rena, is she getting used to her first loveless situation? or whether he has found the solace of the figure of Zahra love both of which he is currently living.

Maybe the answer is between yes and no, because sometimes he always thinks about what the former village midwife is doing in his village, is he okay? whether he lives happily (hopefully), that is what sometimes rages in his mind when he is enjoying solitude without any busyness, the memories are sometimes always approaching when quiet.

Because curiosity was unstoppable, he once asked the news of Rena to Zahra even though with a feeling of arrogance, but unexpectedly Zahra was even happy that she still cares about her best friend.

But unfortunately since moving Rena abroad with her husband, Zahra can no longer contact her best friend, because all mobile numbers, and social media accounts are now no longer active, it was as if he was trying to dodge and forget his mass.

"Excuse me, want a copy of the same diploma," exclaimed three customers, indeed since the last two months, now Rehan shophouse in addition to electronic trinkets more complete, he also already has his own copy machine.

"Ooh... Yes please, how much tea?" ask Kinan who always took the time to help his brother after school or holidays, even though Rehan did not ask or forbid the sister to help him.

"Each 4 sheets only deck, same 3 pieces chocolate yes deck!" one of the girls who seems to have just graduated from high school.

"Ooh... Ready, please wait for a moment Tea," said Kinan who deftly flip ktp and diploma in the printing machine.

"It's tea, all the pulp isn't it? speaking of which to apply for work, Tea?" ask Kinan pleasantries to know, while he himself who is now only two months up to the third grade of junior high school.

"Not next time, he said there are vacancies in the candy factory around the area wanaherang," replied the girl.

"Easy-easy to receive tea directly," Kimpal Kinan after giving a copy sheet.

"Aamiin" exclaimed the three girls compactly, and gave some money to pay.

"Cuihhh... Diligent very nich sister-in-law," exclaimed Zahra who had just come even still using her dinner clothes, which went directly into the shop.

"Kok, don't you tell me Kinan Teh Zahra is back here?" asked Kinan while raising his head and still hugging spoiled.

"Ah time? did Teteh already talk to Brother Rehan to tell you, that teteh has come back again, did not say? kan Kak Rehan himself who invited Teteh to the house," said Zahra while stroking gently the hair of his lover's sister, because he was just a child, just a puppet, so she was so familiar with Kinan that she even loved him like her own sister.

Then there was the sound of a motorbike matic docked which turned out to be Rehan who brought food supplies from Uminya.

"Isa... Brother Rehan snebelin, did not tell Kinan that Teh Zahra had come again here," exclaimed Kinan scowling, who immediately grabbed the food he brought.

"Eh, how do you want to ngabarin, last night you have been snoring when Brother came home to pick up Teh Zahra," said Rehan not to be blamed, he did not want to be blamed, while Zahra just smiled at the behavior of the two brothers.

After delivering Kinan home (although he had insisted on joining them) and closed the shophouse after the dzuhur prayer, because every Saturday is deliberately always open half a day and sometimes Sunday more often he closed the shop.

The two of them went to the nearest tourist spot, which was the place he and Rena had visited, now they were sitting at one of the tables facing the rock hill, while gathering the courage to look closely into the midwife's eyes, Rehan begins to reveal what's on his mind.

"As for Zahra Tea, I thought that you were like the Twilight and Full God sent me, and maybe she was the most beautiful twilight with a tinge of orange violet that I always hoped for at the end of each day, but dear she left without saying a word, and there's only darkness when he's in the dispute, and you're the moonlight with the full Moon greeting when this self feels shrouded by the darkness of despair, so I'm grateful for your presence,"

"Maybe you're not the first one who's ever stopped in this corner, but I'm so sure of you, so... Zahratunnisa Will you marry me?"

"Maybe I'm not a rich man like the exmudes out there who've been struggling with treasure since they were born, but I will try to always make you happy, in my own way," rehan said while thrusting a ring and at the end of his sentence as if he was holding his breath.

"Kang Rehan.." said Zahra with his eyes full of.

"I don't care that I'm second or first, nor do I care that you're from a family that isn't rich though, because even this heart has been imprinted on you, I trust you that you will always strive for it,"

"So thank you for choosing me as a port of love, but never erase about the twilight that once adorned your day, because without twilight the Full Moon would never exist, she said, because he is part of the cycle that God has desired in such a way, because without his request we would never have met each other," zahra said she shed tears and tried to smile sweetly to receive the ring she was given.
