Ceafi & Dusk

Ceafi's Regret

Dusk in Bengkulu certainly different from the twilight Magelang. A reddish-yellow glow and a red mega beam along the horizon. Comforter for a tired mind that is sad.

" Hey dusk! There's usually my little girl who's gonna sit on this shoulder. You are also the one who is seen in the field there. I'm sending a message to my daughter, yes, tell her that everything will be fine. " Jose's father was a little teary.

Suddenly his phone rang to disperse his sad drift. Soon he raised the call,

" Yes hello! " Say Father Jose.

" sir! Ceafi! Master please Ceafi! " Shouts a woman behind the phone who turns out to be Lily.

" Ceafi!? It's with my daughter! Hola! Lily hello! " In that instant, Jose's father panicked.

" Tut tut tut...! " The voice of the call suddenly disconnected.

His mind was only Ceafi, so panicked that Jose's father ran to the car and drove himself, he forgot that the officer had been delivered from his service home. No matter the density of the road, he drove the car with lightning fast.

" gig! Geck! Geck! Tok!! " It was so hard to knock the door of Ceafi's room.

Lily kept calling Ceafi who since morning she didn't want to go out. Ceafi just kept quiet inside not answering Lily's call. Lily panicked, and was forced to tell Jose's father.

" Ceafi please answer me! Come out you haven't eaten Cea', please don't do weird Cea' ! " Lily never stopped asking Ceafi out.

Until nightfall, Ceafi did not want to go out. Lily wanted to break down but unfortunately not enough power. It just so happened that today the officers of the service all went out of town and no one could ask Lily for help.

The sound of the door opened violently, it turns out that Jose's father had arrived and went straight to the room Ceafi.

" Thank God Mr. Jose came soon, "Lily approached Jose's father.

" Ceafi! What's going on inside, honey? " I'm trying to ask you, maybe Ceafi's gonna talk.

" What if you just break down, sir, it's been since the morning Ceafi didn't come out. " Said Lily.

" Oh my God, okay you slide a little Li let me break down, "Jose's father took a swing to break the door.

Finally the door opened, finding Ceafi sitting at the work desk seemingly unconscious. Jose's father wiggled Ceafi's body to make sure,

" Ceafi! Hey, honey, what's wrong with you? " Jose's father was panicking. He brought Ceafi to the mattress and seemed to move slowly.

" Ceafy.. You okay, man? " Lily massaged her legs to wake her up.

" Dad..? Lily's? What are you guys doing here? " Task the confused Ceafi.

" What are you? Why did not come out this morning, called not answer ha? Pity Lily panicked because you love, "Jose's father sat on the bed holding Ceafi's head.

" It's late, tell Dad what are you doing? " Task Jose's father for an explanation.

" Ceafi cried last night and. (trying to remember something), my head suddenly ached once and I don't know what happened next. Maybe Ceafi was asleep Dad, Ceafi remembered that Ceafi was crying until dawn. " Ceafi.

" That means you passed out Cea' your face just to pale. I'll eat and drink, right? " Lilly went out of the room to eat.

" Let's eat first, honey. I forgot that Mr. Didin missed in Bengkulu so panicked as you, tomorrow to the doctor yes to check his head. " Jose's father's ink was so gentle on Ceafi. It would not bear a father Jose let his daughter even though she was angry.

" Ceafi still has headache medicine Well no need to see a doctor. I'm good good Dad. " Ceafi smiles knot to Jose's father.

Lily came in with warm soup and tea for Ceafi.

" Eat Cea first while it's still warm. Excuse me sir, "Lily came out after putting the tray on the table.

" Thank you, Li! " said Father Jose and Ceafi together.

" Father bribe yes, "Father Jose took a spoon and soup to feed Ceafi.

Ceafi nodded and sat leaning against the couch. After eating Ceafi permission to sleep again, then Jose's father went to his room also to sleep. The day was heavy and tired.

***

For three days Ceafi did not want to get out of the room. Jose's father had to look after him every night, afraid that Ceafi would do something undesirable.

It looks like Ceafi has experienced the trauma he once had. After a painful surgery in France, it left him traumatized by excessive anxiety. So Jose's father took care of him every night.

" Ceafi already knows Dad, this research is likely to stop. It's all Ceafi's fault, so tomorrow I'll put together a team and discuss it again. Ceafi promises to be in charge of Dad. " Ceafi's speech was so gentle that Jose's father was nervous. Clasping his father's hand, Ceafi smiled, though in his mind he was not sure it would work.

" Dad will always be next to Ceafi, now Ceafi does not need to worry and fear anymore. Don't make me worry anymore, will you? " Clearly, Jose's father responded to Ceafi's remarks. Her warm embrace was so soothing for Ceafi.

" Hey it's sunny today, would you like to see twilight? " Take Jose's father to get Ceafi out.

" Later Ceafi was hired again ssma Father. " Ceafi smiled spoiled.

" aha! Because you went alone and didn't take Dad. I know a good place. Come on! " Jose's father can't wait to get out, until he carried Ceafi to the car.

" So Daddy's Twilight now? " Ceafi chuckles to Jose's father.

Jose's father laughed and ruffled Ceafi's hair. Walk the car to Gudang Garam Beach which is said to be one of the places to enjoy beautiful twilight.

See you there at dusk. Where all the problems melt on the horizon.
