Between the Dusk Border

Like a Living Statue

Jehan opened his eyes, he sat down and tried to collect his life that had not been collected completely, the girl's room was so dark that it was already night. Jehan stood up to pick up a shirt and cotton pants in the closet and headed for the bathroom to take a shower.

Jehan took off all the clothes wrapped around her body, the girl stood under the shower and waded through her body using cold water. The water was capable of bringing his life back together.

Jehan closed his eyes, but suddenly a shadow came to his mind that made the girl's head hurt. About someone chasing her in the garden, tying her hair, hugging and kissing her head. Jehan sat on the floor with his hands on his head.

circumstances like this made him very tortured, how not, his head felt very sick Every time he saw a shadow that suddenly sprung on his head. It was slowly torturing him.

after finishing the bath, the girl took a towel and put on her clothes. She put on lotion for a while and also combed her hair. Then come down.

the clock shows at 20:39, Jehan saw his mama who was in the living room watching tv, then the girl approached her mama, sitting next to the mama who was staring at her in shock.

"is it up, baby ?" Jehan nodded

"you eat first, earlier mama called you very hard not answered as well, where the door is in the key" her mama nagged, Jehan just silent, Jehan, I don't know since when he had the habit of locking doors and turning off lights while sleeping. So that the room is like a ghost cage.

"so Je slept ma" Jehan replied briefly, he took a snack at the table, then opened it.

"don't get in the lock next time, mama's scared you. Where your room is so dark" Jehan turned to look at his worried mama, Jehan just nodded.

"eat there, you haven't eaten since noon"

"mama ate it ?" ask Jehan

"yet, it's not good to eat alone" said his mother

"what brother hasn't come home yet ?" ask Jehan

"yet, he said the 9 o'clock should be a moment again right" Jehan nodded, the girl fell silent, her gaze began to focus staring at the television screen in front of her.

"Jehan" Jehan looked at his mama

"your head still gets dizzy a lot ?" Jehan just nodded

"so often, Jehan gets tired. When did this one end ma" said Jehan, his mama looked at him with a sad face. Jehan sighed. The torture was so severe that he could go through.

"patience dear, the medicine is on the drink. Hopefully with time your head is no longer dizzy." again Jehan just nodded in response.

"Jehan"

"Heum" Jehan replied without looking

"don't remember ma" Jehan replied honestly

"didn't remember at all ?" Jehan pinched the space on his forehead, he looked at his mama with great confusion. The girl's face paled because she couldn't remember anything.

"yes it's okay, no need to think about it" her mama rubbed her shoulders gently, Jehan was just silent with thoughts flying everywhere.

"assalamualaikum" their chatter stopped, as Jehan's father and brother said hello, Jehan and his mother returned the greeting. Her mother stood up to Papa Jehan while kissing her husband's palm. While Jehan's brother walked towards his sister and kissed the top of the girl's head.

"how is your day dear" asked the brother while rubbing his sister's head.

"good enough" replied Jehan lazily

"papa and sister have eaten" asked her mother while carrying a bag and Jaz her husband.

"yet ma, it was in a hurry to go home" replied papa Jehan

"we ate with yuk, it just happened that Mama and Jehan have not eaten" said the mother.

"how can you not eat yet ?" ask Papa Jehan while frowning.

"that's pa, papa's daughter just woke up, from school has not gone out of the room" replied Jehan's mother while chuckling, Jehan just silent, although his sister stared at him with squeaky eyes.

"so tired of the deck, until you just woke up ?" asked his sister, Jehan just nodded

"my head that is often dizzy makes my body weak" replied Jehan flat, Jehan's brother hugged his sister's body, feeling pity for the situation of the brother who was always tormented.

"patience, baby, we'll go to the doctor. Let your pain heal soon" Jehan sighed, he had often gone to the doctor, all he got was medicine. But not once can the pain go away in his head. It will show up at a certain time.

"yes we have eaten first yuk, the food will be cold hunted later" mama Jehan stepped towards the kitchen, followed by papa Jehan. Jehan pensively continued to bribe snacks into his mouth, until his brother patted him on the shoulder.

"eat the rice first, eat a snack later" Jehan just nodded, following his older brother who walked towards the dining table. Mama and Papa Jehan had been sitting neatly at the dining table waiting for them.

they ate in silence, Jehan finished his meal quickly. After she finished, the girl helped her mom wash the dishes, while her brother and dad went upstairs to clean themselves.

"just go up, Mama wants to go straight to the room. Tomorrow you still have to go to school" Jehan just nodded, and going up to his room, Mama Jehan looked at his son. The boy now looks like a living statue, rarely speaking if not asked. Honestly the middle-aged woman misses the old Jehan, the cheerful and talkative Jehan. Now it's like someone died in Jehan, making the middle-aged woman sad.

Jehan walked lethargic to his room, turned on the lights and picked up the earphones. The girl chose to listen to music, she was not sleepy because she had just woken up.
