And Dusk
Where all the problems melt on the horizon
Where a decision is made
Where all the fatigue is paid
And Dusk
Time to return to the warmth of the family
Back to the story of whether nature is the same
Place and time raga back to the contest
A moment to take the world away
And remember
Message the sun at dusk
That tomorrow
Surely meet
Just a few lines, but the rhyme means all the events on the surface of the earth in a day. So figurative of life with the flow of grief that is interwoven in every step of the human race. Although it is only two verses of poetry, it has significance in Ceafi's life.
How not, the Mother who has passed it on to the only beloved daughter. It's true that your guess, this poem was created by Jessie's mother. At that time he was holding a 1-year-old Ceafi standing on a hill when dusk was beautiful. Perfect as the level of Ceafi, golden orange rays decorated with clouds that dance carried by the wind. And the poem was created, Mother Jessie chanted it accompanied by the smile of Little Ceafi.
And when Jessie's mother met her death, had given the writing of the poem to Ceafi who was then bowed lethargic and sad to hold her mother.
" Ceafi darling! " Jose's Father's voice awakens Ceafi from the daydreams of his beloved Mother who is present in his longing.
" Dad! What is?! I was almost amazed, "Ceafi's gaze was a little sharp because of the annoyance of Jose's father.
" Daddy purposely called you hard, what is it that you daydream ha!? " Jose's father embraces Ceafi.
" No, I was just washed away by a twilight smile. " Ceafi stared at the twilight sky that the night sky began to replace.
" There's no way I can guess wrong, what are you going to say with this hmm? " Jose's father held up a piece of paper inscribed with a poem made by Jessie's mother.
Ceafi sighed,
" Ceafi misses Mama. "his voice a little softly restrained sad so as not to cry in front of Jose's father.
" Later to Mama Jessie's house yes, now let's go in it's dark Miss, your weapon has gone home. " Jose's father hugged Ceafi and rubbed his head.
From inside Bi Minah called out, "Mister! Missis! Come on, dinner's ready! " Bi Minah slightly shouted as she called out from the dining room.
" Okay Bi! We're coming soon! " Jose and Ceafi's father walked towards the dining table.
After the meal, Jose and Ceafi's father discussed the final report of the research he had done while still in France.
" I see your progress is getting more genius Miss Professor. " Jose's father seduced Ceafi by praising him.
" Dad doesn't suck at praising me, you're going to drop me, right, "Ceafi poked her tongue out at her father.
" Hey, I'm seriously praising you from the bottom of my heart, if you don't want to be okay, and you protest, "Jose's father pretended to be angry.
" Oh come on! Ceafi must complete the report immediately so that tomorrow can start designing your research project work plan here. " Ceafi grunting.
" Hahaha, as well as you take seriously, Miss, (pinched Ceafi's nose), you should just make a diagram to be more concise and easy to understand, for the details why don't you make the Miss Professor's table, not a verse verse paragraph like a novel like this, huh? " Jose's father took over the laptop and pointed at the screen many times, but Ceafi smiled because his father was always reliable in reporting. It should be admitted that if Ceafi is a little lazy to write a report, he prefers to convey it verbally.
" So dong from earlier, tomorrow help Ceafi prepare a presentation huh Well? " Ceafi rests her head on Jose's father's shoulder.
" What didn't make this father's son, "Jose's father hugged Ceafi and pinched his nose.
" Well, if Ceafi goes back to France? " Ceafi smiled broadly to have trapped her father.
" Unless you go home! " Jose's father pinched and dragged Ceafi but not hard just for jokes.
Their jokes are like lovers. The closeness of Jose and Ceafi's father is like the first love affair for two people who fall in love for the first time. For Jose's father, Ceafi was a surrogate for his wife who had left. Jose's father will look after him wherever and whenever. Ceafi was the most expensive gem for him. Whatever he will do for the happiness of his beloved daughter.
They're working on the report late into the night. It didn't feel like 12 p.m., Jose's father asked. Sleeping ceafi. Not wanting his daughter to refuse, he immediately held Ceafi and took her to the room.
" Dad I can walk you don't have to carry it! " Ceafi says protest but no revolt.
" Haha, I'll report you as the snatch of people's wives, "Ceafi tightened her grip.
Arriving in the room, "Ceafi wants a drink? " Jose's father asked.
" Sure, "Ceafi nodded.
Then Jose's father took the mini digalon water that Bi Minah deliberately provided in his room.
" Go to sleep, baby, tomorrow we have an important task. May my son's most beautiful dream. " Jose's father kissed Ceafi's forehead and covered him and then came out of Ceafi's room.
Tonight was so peaceful, the entire night dwellers had been asleep in their dreams. Waiting for dawn and sunrise brings new days, new hope, and new life.

This morning the sky was a little cloudy. After preparing Ceafi for the presentation Jose's father spoke to Prof.Jhon through his mobile phone while enjoying the cool morning atmosphere on the terrace.
" Yes Jhon! I'm leaving at about 11 o'clock yeah, maybe a little late, my daughter is presenting the final report of the study. I have to wait for it to finish. " Said Father Jose at length.
" Well, Jose, I just want to meet you guys and bring you guys to work later. No need to rush the boss, just relax. " Prof.Jhon laughed a little in response to the utterances of Jose's father once in a while he turned his back from his swivel chair.
" Alright, don't forget the coffee, hehe.I close first, boss, I'll let you know if I've traveled. " Jose's father took a cup of tea in front of him and sipped it.
" Ready, man! Waiting for your arrival, "Prof.Jhon hangs up the phone and goes back to work.
Saturdays are usually only half a working day, Prof.Jhon prepares the welcome of Father Jose and Ceafi in his office. He told some office staff not to go home after work because they would meet with the two, especially the research team who would join Father Jose and Ceafi.
Finally the tense minutes for Ceafi has been successfully passed. How not since 6 am Ceafi started his presentation. He had to make a presentation that early because it adjusted to the time of Paris. Together with his research team, Ceafi was able to convey all the details of the research well and clearly. And after going through debate and testing the theory finally Ceafi and the team were declared successful in solving the hypothesis.
" Yuhuu!! Finally I got it, Yess!! Ahhhh!! " Ceafi soared happily and went straight out looking for her father.
" Yahh!! Ceafi succeeded!! " Ceafi ran to her father and immediately hugged him.
" Wow! My son never disappoints. Well done Girl! Rest first yes, want to take fruit? " Jose's father was happy to see his daughter's success.
" Mauu! Pake cheese and mayo yes, Ceafi wait at the garden table yah!? " Ceafi kissed Jose's father's face and went to the park in the yard next to the house.
He was more happy to see orchids that had bloomed beautifully. Mr. Slamet is good at caring for flowers. Soon Jose's father came with a tray of fruits and a glass of water.
One hour Ceafi and Jose's father chatted in the park. Then Jose's father took Ceafi to prepare, but suddenly Christon called Ceafi.
They speak French
" Holla! Bonjurs! Mademoiselle Ceafi's.. Congratulations, " said Christon as Ceafi raised her call.
" Hmmn, thankyou Chris, you must have been told by Jona!? " Ceafi smiles happily called by her best friend.
" Of course, how are you doing there, Cea'? Since you moved out, haven't talked to me anymore, have you? " said Christon.
" Hey don't-don't you miss ya, I'm good here Chris. " Reply Ceafi.
" Oh, great. Don't stay there for long, he said he would go home alone hmm? " Christon seemed to tease Ceafi to go home.
" Hahaha, it's only been a week, Dad could've put me in jail. Well Chris I closed first yes, there are other interests with Dad. See yes! " Ceafi hung up the phone seeing that Jose's father was preparing to go to Prof.Jhon's place.
Fifteen minutes later, Ceafi was ready to leave. Jose's father drove his own car. It took them only 30 minutes to reach the research office, where Prof.Jhon worked. They were welcomed, although only a few office staff were welcomed as some had gone home.
" Yey, Jhon! You're so young, you've always been like this. " Jose's father praised Prof.Jhon and they hugged each other. Don't forget Prof.Jhon is experiencing Ceafi.
" Your daughter is so beautiful Jos, if I was my age right now. " Prof.Jhon laughed and took the two into the living room.
Father Jose, Ceafi, and Prof.Jhon meeting discussed the research plan to be carried out in early November 2022. Prof.Jhon introduced them to the office staff. Do not forget the workspace that has been prepared specifically for researchers.
" Welcome to Mademoiselle Ceafi's new workplace. " Prof.Jhon said welcome to Ceafi and cupped his hands together.
" Thank you Professor, just call me Ceafi or Ma'am Ceafi. " Ceafi smiled widely making her look perfectly beautiful with her blue eyes. Oh Ceafi.your blue venom!
After much discussion and lunch, Jose's father said goodbye and went straight home. Ceafi asked to stop by the city mall for clothes shopping. Jose's father did not protest against his daughter. He complied, and when entering the mall Ceafi automatically became the center of attention of the visitors. Rarely do tourists come to the mall. Moreover, Magelang City is not like Bali which many foreign tourists come.

What a fun day for Cea'! And now dusk came with him behind the window of his room. Ceafi read the book in the room because he was a little tired from the trip home. Today luck has taken care of him. Happy things come immeasurably. May your day always be lucky Ceafi.
Bonsoir !
