Dandelion Dusk

Prologues

 

He looked so fragile, yet so strong, that no one knew of his story. Strong in the wind, flying high, and exploring space. I am finally somewhere to grow into a new life.

He never defied the wind. Letting the gust of wind take him somewhere. Leaving an upright trunk.

Growing up surrounded by street grass, even rarely can see. Ilalang always hide it behind the grass. But his charm never faded.

He can't fight the wind that carries his petals. Flying high in space. There is no direction. But one day she will grow into a beautiful flower, though every time the wind will abort her petals.

It's dandelion..

 

Dandelions grow into strong flowers, although they sometimes feel fragile. Dandelions can survive any ordeal. Although the shape is not as beautiful as a red rose, not as fragrant as jasmine. Dandelion with its small stalk.

Dandelion never chooses where it will grow. Where the wind takes him is his home, his place of life.

When a dandelion blooms, that's the end of its life. He would release all his petals along with a gust of wind. Calm. Comfortable. Along with his memories.

Dandelion with all its advantages. Although no one ever realized his presence behind the street. Dandelion is a strong figure although it looks fragile. Always looking for a new life out there. Able to fly high, explore widely in space.

The goal is only one. After crossing the universe, lead a life that is so difficult. Someday, no matter how far he has gone, he will return. Dandelion's going back to where he was supposed to be.

Dandelion is never sad.

Let me remember how far I've gone. Leave all the memories with him. But it's so hard. I want to be a Dandelion. Who never regretted despite being repeatedly disappointed. Who is never sad even though his presence is never felt.

Who never envies despite the weeds covering her. Which always survives despite many threats. Who always likes to spread his petals. Even though he has nothing.

It has been tens, hundreds, thousands of words to describe feelings.

I'm. Ye. May there be a life that is right. Memories. It will lead me to live as usual. Allow me to be a dandelion. Just sec. I'll enjoy it all.

"Fuck!! Eat first, son."

A loud shout came from the kitchen interrupting Ara to rush over immediately. Ara closed the brown-coated book. Wash your face and walk to the dining room.

"Any father where's bun?" asked Ara in a doldrums.

"Still in the room. Try to wake up your brother there. Let your mother call your father first." replied the mother as she sauntered away from the dining room.

Ara set foot in a barrage towards Arka's room.

"Bang, dinner first" said Ara uninspired. But there was no answer from the room. Sucks. Finally, Ara opened the door. Brakes...

"Get up, you kebo!!!" still no answer. The idea of Ara appeared.

"Fire. fire." Said Ara while pulling the legs bang Arka.

"Eh fire.please-please!!" yell bang Arka while jumping from the bed.

"Hhaha... Where is the fire bang?"

"Basic you deck. Kirain Abang actually earlier." said bang Arka while singing his lips.

"Eat him late in the afternoon do not sleep bang, keko kebo again sleep." replied Ara while displaying a row of teeth.

"Do not sleep."

"Pet down, already waiting for the mother for dinner." shouted Ara behind the door while leaving the bang Arka who was still gawking because of Ara's behavior.

"Yah bun night, same adekku the ugliest." said bang Arka while sitting in a chair.

"Too bang, did you pray yet?" ask mother.

"It's Bun."

"Ishh.jelek really say ugly." Ara replied with a frown.

"Yee basic, envy says boss!!" bang Arka said he would not lose.

"Already. Let's eat first." stop me from breaking up.

"Ara, I've enrolled you at Permata Indah High School" said the father, looking at me.

"SMA Gem Indah isn't that her school bang Arka huh yah?" ask Ara.

"Yes, let your brother take care of you dear." replied the mother while tidying up the dishes.

"Yes" said Ara uninspired.

"You should be on deck, you can go to school with this handsome brother." bang Arka while patting his chest.

"Dihh.gantengan also the Rafa."

"Who's Rafa? Your girlfriend huh? Tuh well bun, I've dared to date." said bang Arka while pointing towards Ara.

"Sok know very well, Rafa the rabbit has a neighbor in front of the house loh bun" replied Ara innocently.

"Hahaha.jeez deck. Rabbit time in love name." bang Arka while frowning.

"Bodoamat bang." replied Ara as she left the dining room.

"Everything's night." cried Ara as she climbed the stairs.

 ***

"Tomorrow we're starting school, hopefully it's a fresh start. Bismillah." muttered Ara while pulling the blanket.

Suddenly someone climbed into the bed and sat down beside Ara. Who else if not bang Arka.

"Sir, are you angry with your brother?" ask bang Arka while stroking Ara's hair.

"No bang, no anger." answered Ara lazily.

"He wasn't angry, he didn't squirm."

"Ara sleepy bang."

"Yes, promise me tomorrow you'll buy ice cream after school." bargain bang Arka.

"What is bang really? Don't boong." replied Ara while changing the position of the body facing the Ark bang.

"Yeah.now you sleep first." said bang Arka while peeping Ara's forehead.

"Yee thanks bang. Darling bang Arka." said Ara while hugging bang Arka.

"May you be happy deck, brother promises to take care of you." Inner bang Arka.

"Where to sleep!" while pushing Ara.

"Good night's a bad brother."

"Good night too, my brother."

Bang Arka left Ara's room and went to her room. Then he put his body on the bed and closed his eyes. However, the phone ringtone interfered with his activities.

"Haloo, assalamu'alaikum"

"Waalaikumsalam, how do you come?" ask the person across the phone.

"I don't think Lon was there tomorrow, I'll be together in a normal place."

"Okay, I'll tell the other friends first" replied Elon.

"Siipp, go straight to school. You want to talk to me too."

"Yes that is it, wassalamu'alaikum." continued Elon.

"waalaikumsalam" replied Arka and turned off the phone.

"Crazy child, disturb people." murmured Arka

He immediately looked for a comfortable position while pulling the blanket and resting his body and brain to find energy tomorrow. After praying, he fell asleep and explored his dreamland.
