Confidence(new)

.c45

Dusk is a beautiful painting of God that can be enjoyed when the Sun starts to sink. The sweet red hue challenges the world with its beauty. Dara adored the beauty of twilight, but the man standing in front of her looked more adored. Covering it with a shadow, grabbing it with an invincible sweet smile.

"Good right?" the tananya faced the twilight that began to disappear.

"Yes, Dara likes it. It's so beautiful that Dara can't turn away from her." His eyes were not on the twilight, but on the man in front of him.

Smile engraved when he saw his hand eaten by the land of Nanta. Enjoy being grateful to be with his favorite man, enjoying an afternoon bathed in twilight.

"I'm talking about twilight, why do you see me so?" He touched slowly Andara's nose, the red hue on Dara's cheek even more makes her anxious.

"I also told you about twilight!" Elak Dara turned her gaze towards the side.

Next to it is the sight of a tea garden that unfolds wide pampering the eyes. Dara will miss this place later. It is fitting that many people always vacation outside the city during the weekend, because in Jakarta there is no view that refreshes the eyes like this. In Jakarta there is only a densely populated city where people struggle to find food, and live for a better future.

"They love it here, Dara will definitely miss!" the word was spoken, with a gaze that pointed right at the man beside him.

Nanta smiled, he wanted to pray for a moment to stop. Let this togetherness last longer. Nanta is not sure of the relationship. Not about his feelings, because his feelings are still for you. But, the complexity of the circumstances that made him desperate. Her lips were all confused and wanted to confess her marriage. Nanta doesn't want to lose Andara.

"Reverse yuk, Dara's getting cold." Andara had hugged her own body, because the air temperature began to fall indicating the existence of a cold night in Bandung.

"Kneel!" Nanta raised his hand which was directly grabbed by Andara's spring finger.

They passed the path leading to the big road at the last place he left the bike. They left the bike to the chicken noodle seller.

"Darling? you want chicken noodles?" ask Nanta when they're almost there.

"You! Dara was very hungry to eat chicken noodles!" Answer Andara excited.

"Do you want to eat here or take it home?"

"Bring home, beware again brother must pray magrib." Nanta smiled happily at the reply from his lover.

Swiping the top of your coconut, grab it in a hug and walk hand in hand toward the chicken noodle seller.

Dara also increasingly tighten the hands in his jacket pocket, really with the air is currently very suitable if eating chicken noodles are newly made, with steam billowing from the bowl. But the chicken noodles this time must be wrapped and eaten at home because it is almost close to magrib time.

"Make four servings!"

"Eat here or wrap?" sahut Abang a chicken noodle seller who is still busy serving other buyers.

"Wrap bang!" The chicken noodle boy's brother nodded, glancing at him.

"Tock four? are there five?" Andara asked as she sat down, her hand reaching for the cracker pack in front of her.

"Nadia doesn't like chicken noodles, she prefers to eat rice and home cooking." replied Nanta by hand grabbing your hair to pin it behind the ear.

There was a slight pinch, when Nanta's thin lips called out another woman's name. He closed his jealousy with a thin smile continuing to eat his crackers.

"It's mas!" The brother of the chicken noodles handed him four packets of chicken noodles that were made one in a black crackle.

"How much is this bang? same as a pack of crackers." Nanta pointed towards the crackers that Andara held.

"Twenty thousand only, my crackers are free for the adek."

The answer from Abang chicken noodles made Nanta smile wryly, pesky they thought brother and sister. Dara giggled at it, he smiled at Abang chicken noodles because he had given him free crackers.

Nanta pays quickly then walks towards his bike leaving Andara still smiling to tease him.

"Kan sister Nanta is my brother!" elak Andara follows her lover.

"But you are my lover!" ananta replied with anxiety Because Andara was still laughing at him.

"Udah yuk ah, later the magribnya. It's also getting dark, our bikes don't have lights." Dara rode her bike waiting for Ananta who was still busy putting the chicken noodle crackle on the handle of her bike.

"Yeah!" their bike sped through the dark streets, accompanied by the star Sirius who had shown its rays.

They reached home just as Azan was reverberating. Abi and Umi wait for their return anxiously inside the house.

"Assalamualaik."

"Wallaikumsalam," said a woman's voice from inside, Dara knew it was Nadia's voice.

Chequelek

"How come you guys just got home?" nadia asked as soon as the door opened.

"We stopped by to buy chicken noodles first!" answered Nanta passed quickly to his room, because he had to take a shower first and then pray magrib.

"Sorry Umi, we bought chicken noodles. We bought four packs, made Umi, Abi, and because Nadia's sister didn't like chicken noodles, we didn't buy them.

Dara immediately explained for fear of misunderstanding. Nadia also nods turns out her husband knows if she doesn't like chicken noodles, it's enough to make her happy. Maybe they rarely interact, but because they live with them so little know about each other's habits.

"Then you take a shower first, Umi same Nadia want to pray it out we have dinner together." Dara nodded, she was also tired of wanting to take a shower immediately because her body also felt sticky.

You are currently in the bathroom outside the room, near the kitchen. Because the guest room does not have its own bathroom in this house. With the temperature is cold he was forced to bathe in cold water because there is no hot water shower here, even he took a bath using a dipper.

Youara finished bathing with shivering body, he already used clothes because it is impossible to get out of the bathroom still using a towel. Dara went straight back to her room to comb her hair.

His focus on combing his hair stopped when he heard the Quran. Dara was very confused, he really liked to hear the chant but when he realized the voice of the person who chanted him he became sad. Dara felt defeated, this further showed the difference between the two. Nadia had a melodious voice so that when the chant of the holy verse was read from her lips, it became more beautiful to hear. Andara smiled with tears unintentionally dripping down her cheeks.

His feet stepped towards the room he was allowed to pray in, he stepped slowly until he reached the door of the room, where the melodious voice came from. The beautiful yet heartbreaking sight for her was presented before her eyes.

Umi and Abi who are focusing on reading books that either you don't know, they just duck read in silence with each other close. Then, there was Ananta sitting in front of Nadia who was chanting the scriptures and there was the scriptures also in the lap of Nanta. It can be guessed if Ananta is on duty to listen to Nadia's reading. Dara smiled but her heart was slashed.

He retreated and shifted from the door, leaning his body against the wall. Squeeze the front of his chest shirt firmly.

His tears were flowing, this was what he wanted to see! then why is she still crying? isn't this what he wants to make sure. Nanta is happy with Nadia, then what else is the problem? The problem now was her unrequited self.

Unbeknownst to him, the finished Abi whose reading wanted to get out of the room. However, the stifled sobs that sounded from outside as he approached the door made him undo his intentions.

Abi fell silent, he was confused as to how. He knew Andara loved Ananta so much, and so did his son. But fate does not unite the two, they must be able to accept this reality. After no more sobbing sounds, Abi just came out to continue his steps.

You wash your wet face with tears. He cannot show this wound, he must remember his purpose here.

At the dinner table, everyone was silent. Nanta who will sometimes smile towards Andara and Andara who will return Ananta's smile. Others see it but try not to care.

"Oh yes, tomorrow we make it to attend the wedding of his son Aunt Maya?" tanya Umi broke the awkwardness between them.

"So dong, Abi has already canceled an appointment with a client to attend an event at Maya's house."

"Nanta also come along with Nadia, right Aunt Maya has a message to invite you too," said Umi without seeing the atmosphere becomes more awkward because of it.

Nanta was confused to explain to Andara, why Umi told him to take Nadia. Seen if you only focus on eating do not want to get involved in the conversation. Nanta sighed tiredly, how could he leave Andara alone? even he was confused to explain why Nadia he invited.

"Em, Nadia at home aja Umi, accompany Andara," said Nadia because it also felt bad.

"You must come because Aunt Maya wants you to be present at the event," said Umi still did not realize that the atmosphere was out of control.

"Ehm, what if Andara comes along too? to accompany Nadia too right?" abi's proposal on everything.

"Become in Abi's house!" an Andara replied without looking at Abi, she just looked down.

"I don't want you home alone!" Nanta gently squeezed the hand of Andara who was on the table, "I'm not coming, you're going!"

Abi and Umi get confused, they feel if there is a strong tension in this room. Sighing tired, Abi decided without wanting any objection.

"Tomorrow everyone must come! no one is staying!" Abi stood up to the room after Umi who was about to protest.

Nadia who had been silent now her hands began to clean the dining table, she was silent because she did not know how. Dara who saw that immediately helped Nadia clean up the dining table.

Nanta let out a tired breath, and he stepped out. Out of the room that made him crowded, he went awry.

While in Jakarta, Vian was confused because Andara's apartment was empty. There was no word when he kept pushing the bell long enough. He chose to contact Saka. After arriving at Vian airport directly to Andara's apartment while Saka and the others went home.

"Hello Ka, you're not in the apartment!" panicked Vian who was responded to casually by Saka.

"Maybe come out of him."

"Too come out why is the phone off?"

Dara deliberately turned off her phone because she wanted to focus on her goal. But it made others panic.

"Yes, from earlier, his phone could not be contacted. I'm going there, you don't go anywhere."

The connection just broke off. They are both confused where you are, because it's already night. They think something must be wrong, Andara suddenly came home alone from Bali and now it's night Andara is not in the apartment.
