Dandelion Dusk

Daisy

A memory is something that sometimes incarnates into a knife, piercing the heart deeply. However, there is always a lesson learned.

Wind blows hit the dry leaves that began to fall. Flying all the memories along with the lagging of a small stalk. Hope everything looks like normal, goes as it is.

"Where are you?" shouted the little boy while running around looking for his sister's whereabouts.

There's no answer. It was getting dark, even the Surya was ready to leave.

The little boy continued to run in no direction. He saw a shadow at the end of the garden. With a hasty step he approached the shadow.

"SENJAA!!"

Still no answer. Sweat adorned her face which still looked very cute. His hair was ruffled by the wind.

There was someone who had been squatting down and was constantly observing the flowers in front of him. One word that describes his heart, astonished.

He didn't even heed the cries of the person calling him. Both of his legs were turned into cross-legged, with his hands propping up his chin.

"Where has your sister met?" said a woman with a worried look.

The boy shook his head. "Sorry."

Just an apology that keeps on saying it.

"Dear father, we look for again yes." said the man who is his father.

"Let's look at the end of the park again." suggested the woman.

They headed to the dark end of the park. Without the lights illuminating.

"Please, my dear. What are you doing here?" the woman immediately ran and hugged her daughter.

The boy's eyes never escaped the flower beneath him.

"Son't look for you from earlier." Arka with a loud breath due to running.

"Bun, why does Dusk keep going?" ask Arka.

"Darling, tell me someone's sick?"

Dusk shook his head slowly. His eyes were still staring at the white flower.

They looked at the direction of the twilight. Under them was a beautiful white flower.

"Senja wants that." he said in a hoarse voice.

"That's the name of the Daisy flower dear. It can't be removed, so the flowers can grow again" said Fara softly.

"We go home." take Kana to her son.

***

Every day, Dusk always came to the park to see the daisy blooming. He always spends his time there.

Dousing. Caring for. That's what he always does.

No day has ever been missed.

Someone came up to him, "Do you like that flower?" ask the woman sitting next to Dusk.

"Yes brother. The flowers are good." said Dusk cheerfully.

"The mother said it was called the daisy flower" he said again.

"Yes right. That's Daisy's flower. Flowers that illustrate sincerity."

"Why is that brother?" turning his gaze towards the person beside him.

"Daisy means sincerity. One day you will know what sincerity means." Brother Adis said and patted the shoulder slowly.

Dusk just nods his head.

"Whose sister's name?" twilight Chirp.

"Zelin Adisti's. Call me Adis." Adis extended her hand towards Dusk. "Who are you?"

"I'm Dusk brother." he said smiling and received Adis' hand.

"Who are you here?"

"I'm alone brother, maybe later picked up bang Arka."

"Oh."

"You want to go to my sister's house?" ask Adis.

"Can you please, brother?" twilight.

"By dong, come on!"

Adis and Dusk left the park. Dusk was happy because he could make friends. Although they are not the same age, but can understand each other.

Maybe Adis is the same age as Arka, her brother

Twilight. His eyeballs are black, his long hair is deep black, his eyelashes are pliable, and his body is quite tall. That's the thing that can describe Adis at the moment.

Although he is only 15 years old, but the nature of Adis' maturity supports his appearance. He has a friendly nature and quickly gets along with someone.

"Ayoo.in." said Adis and holding the hand of Dusk.

Dusk just followed him from behind.

"Assalamu'alaikum, mah Adis home."

"Waalaikumsalam.." shouted the woman from the kitchen.

A 35-year-old woman came out of the kitchen, with a plate filled with cake in her hand.

"Who is this?" asked Nani while pinching Dusk's cheek.

"The name is Dusk mah, Adis met in the park. Keep Adis brought here." replied Adis explained to Nani, his mother.

Twilight only observes the interaction between the mother and the child. Nani who looks very fond of Adis, seen from his soft words.

"Let's eat first, you must be hungry, right?"

"Ayoo Dusk."

They sit at the dining table. Nani is busy preparing food on the table. He was very welcome to Dusk.

"Where do you live, baby?" ask Nani.

"On Griya tan Housing." replied Dusk smiling.

"So you told me you were coming?"

"Not mah, it was Dusk alone in the park. He said he would be picked up by his brother." Adis explained.

"Oohh..Fennel. What will the parents of Dusk look like?" nani said worriedly.

"It's okay to tan, dusk will say the same brother."

"No ma, twilight is not the case."

They continued their lunch quietly. There is no little chatter there is only the sound of the clang of a spoon clashing with a plate.

***

Adis and Dusk return to the park by bicycle. The twilight sitting behind was piggybacked by Adis.

When you reach a crossroads, suddenly a motor is speeding in the opposite direction. Adis who could not control his bike, finally the bike was screwed and hit a tree.

Brakkk..

They rolled over a very thick grass. While Adis bike tires have rolled somewhere.

Everyone who was there was shocked by the sound. The group of people immediately ran towards Adis and Dusk who fell.

"You're not pawpapa?" ask a middle-aged woman.

"Come sir, please!" screeched someone.

Adis who is still half conscious, the look of his eyes looks so cute. He tried to find the whereabouts of Dusk and ascertain his condition. Because of Adis' weak body he could only listen to the voices of those who were asking for help.

Not far from Adis. At dusk, the girl groaned in pain as her head was hit by a rock. He could still hear the sound and moments later his eyes were very blurry. And don't understand what happens next.

***

"Are you awake, baby?" ask Nani to her son.

"Senja is still in the room baby, we will look. Now you rest first." Nani tries to calm Adis down.

"Ma, Dusk is fine, right?" adis's face turned worried.

"Already been handled by the doctor, you don't have to worry" said the man sitting on the sofa.

That man is Ridwan, the papah of Adis. The man was still wearing a neat suit, probably just came home from the office and immediately got the news that his son had an accident.

"Now you rest first yes, do not move much. Let it heal quickly." said Nani softly.

While the one invited to speak only displayed his blank stare. Adis is still trying to remember what happened to her and Dusk.

He was very worried about the twilight. Is Dusk okay? Is he in pain?

Sense Adis wants to quickly get out of here and meet Dusk to make sure the situation.

***

While in another room a girl was still lying weakly on top of the hospital cage. Since an hour ago, doctors were still busy to save this girl's life.

The clash in his head resulted in blood continuously dripping. Until this girl was lacking a lot of blood.

The man who uses these short jeans, is still busy pacing in front of his sister's room. The look on his face looked very worried, even occasionally he rubbed his face violently.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid Arka!" he always said those words.

"Dear, it's not your fault. It's destiny." said Kana to calm her son.

While a woman is still as excited as she hugs her husband. Fara was so worried about her daughter's current state. In there Dusk was struggling between life and death.

Arka tried to approach and crouched down in front of her seat. He held her mother's hand and stroked her slowly.

"Bun, sorry Arka. Arka could not keep Dusk well." a handful of tears escaped from Arka's eyes.

"No dear. You are a good brother for Dusk. This is all the destiny of God that we must accept." said Fara while stroking the head of Arka.

"If Arka had not played the same cement and nemenin Dusk in the park, surely this would not have happened." great-granddaughter Arka with eyes that are still flushed.

"Nothing. Now we pray Dusk ya." said Arka's father calming.

Arka sat on the floor hugging her knees, her body resting on the hospital wall. He kept pondering and always prayed in his heart.

Ceklek..

The sound of the room opened, revealing a doctor coming out from there. Arka immediately stood up and approached the doctor.

"Patients in the name of Dusk will be moved to the hospital room" said the doctor.

"Nice doc."

"I'll excuse you" the doctor left the room.

The sound of a brangkar push came out of the ER room. There was a girl lying weakly up there. Her eyelids are soft and there is a bandage on her head.

His lips were tightly clenched and very pale. His eyes are still perfectly closed. There were many scratches on his face and on his white body.

Now Dusk has been transferred to the inpatient room. But he still hasn't regained consciousness.

***

A girl tried to open her eyes slowly, from her long sleep. His fingers began to move slowly.

Arka, who was still asleep next to her sister, felt the hand she was holding move. He opened his eyes immediately.

"Bun well, Dusk is conscious" Arka told the two people sitting on the sofa.

"Alhamdulillah, you've come to your senses dear."

"Bang, hauss.." said Dusk in a hoarse voice.

Arka immediately took a drink and helped Dusk change his position.

"Yes, you have rested first, baby" said Fara.

"Arka, you take care of your sister first. Same mom's dad is going home to pick up clothes and tell your grandma first."

"Yes yeah."

"Yes dear, mother went home first." while peeping the forehead of Dusk.

Chequek..

The door of the room opened and featured a woman smiling towards Dusk.

"Sister Adis" said Dusk.

Arka who was still sitting next to Dusk immediately stood up and let Adis sit down.

"Sir Adis gakpapa?" ask Dusk.

"It should be the same sister as you" said Adis while holding the hand of Dusk.

"I'm not kok brother, brother Adis here the same as who?" ask Dusk again.

"on its own. You want to eat fruit? Let brother take it." Adis bargained.

Dusk just nodded his mark confirming the question from Adis.

"Ehemm.gue in pecan." said Arka who folded his hands on his chest.

"Oh yeah bang, know this sister Adis." Dusk introduces Adis to Arka.

"Zelin Adisti, call Adis" said Adis smiling sweetly.

"Arka" said Arka coldly.

***

Since a brief introduction in the hospital, now Arka, Adis, and Dusk often play together in the park. Dusk was also discharged from the hospital a few days ago.

"Aren't you, Ra?" ask Adis.

"If you're tired of saying the same brother."

Now they are in the park. It's been a long time since Dusk has seen daisies in this garden. The flower was only one of several flowers surrounding it.

If you are not observant, surely the flower is not visible and is located at the end of the garden. A place that people rarely visit when they come here.

"Bang, Ara wants grilled corn that's at the end of the road there dong." pinta Ara with her puppy eyes.

"Bakak buyin ya deck" said Adis standing while patting his dirty pants.

Adis stood up and walked out of the garden. But the cry of someone stopped his steps for a moment.

"Gue Temenin" said Arka who was already beside Adis.

"Loh Ara?" ask Adis.

"There was Hana's brother who stopped him" replied Arka snuggling to leave Adis.

Since the incident at that time, Adis called Dusk to be Ara. He said he had a hard time when it came to abbreviating the name.

He said there were no words suitable for abbreviating the name Dusk. If it is called Sen, it will be counted as a man. But if it is called Nja, it will be calculated what. Doesn't fit anyway!

Bagusan is also Ara, shorter and easier to say let alone remember.

Arka and Adis love to be at the grilled corn seller. They ordered corn and sat on the grass near the stall.

Awkward Eve enveloped them. Because even though they often play together they are never alone like this.

"Mas, this is the corn" said the corn seller, breaking the silence.

Arka immediately took the order and paid. Then he sat back down and gave Adis a grilled jar.

"Gue has never fancied this gig like anyone before" Arka said.

"Yes, I'm the same." Adis replied.

Arka turned to the side and saw there was corn left on Adis' lips. Out of nowhere, suddenly Arka's hand stretched out to clean the rest of the corn.

When their distance is very close. The deg! Arka's heart beats very fast. That is also what Adis is feeling.

"Eh sorry-sorry. Elo ate the child's cake" said Arka.

"Hmm.gappa." Adis smiled awkwardly.

"Elo well right there?" ask Inner Arka.
