Dusk And Suffering

58. The Meaning of Love for Corals

"Where is it, Mom?" Akmal who just came from home took over Alana and asked the whereabouts of Dusk. Usually the woman will play with her twins, but when she climbed the living room floor, there was no smell of Dusk there.

"When you leave, sir, he said there was some business."

"Since when?"

"An hour ago, more precisely after Manda's mother left."

Hearing the narration of one of his baby sitters makes Akmal instantly connected and suspect Dusk following his mother.

"Just leave a message to you?"

The baby sitter seemed to think, "Only ask to call when the milk in the bottle is up, sir."

"Call him, and tell him the milk is up. Don't tell me I'm here."

"F-."

"Do now!"

The orders from Akmal made the baby sitter instantly reach into his uniform pocket and search for his phone. Talking at dusk before the man made the baby sitter seem a little scared and nervous.

"Bu Dusk is on its way, sir."

"Yes, the milk is over yet?"

"No, Sir. Just a little bit left."

"Give it to them. Then wash the bottle!" Again, in a firm tone Akmal ordered his workers and this time there was no objection.

Akmal continued his activities by playing with the twins. Every Sunday he would take turns spending time with his family. He should be fair to his two children.

"Dad is here? Since when?" tanya Dusk.

"Just arrived, where are you from?"

"Ikutin Mommy. Mending Dad is honest, same with me. What's the pain, anyway? I know that mom went to the hospital to wash her blood, I just followed her. I want to ask from the Sister who is at the reception, but Ma'am said that if the twins cry again, the milk runs out, so I quickly go home. Dad I deserve to know what Mom's going through. I'm his son." The twilight sat beside his father.

Akmal did not immediately answer, he was confused what to answer. Lying was already impossible, because Dusk already knew that his mother did chemotherapy in the hospital. But honestly it also feels impossible, it will definitely affect his psychic later especially Dusk is still breastfeeding. And in the end this problem will affect his grandson as well.

"Dad, what else do you think? Dad there is no room for lies anymore" insisted Dusk.

"Yes, but promise not to think too much, yeah! We're trying to heal Mom. Mother has kidney failure. So a few months after your departure to Leo's house, I often feel pain in the waist. The mother initially ignored and rutinkan themselves to take anti-pain medication, but over time the mother could not stand and checked with a doctor and was sentenced to suffer from early stage kidney failure. Since then Father and Pakde have been waiting in line to get a suitable kidney donor for the mother and indeed until now there has not been. So we have to be patient, that's why we force mothers to routinely kidney failure"

"And you feel this biggest problem is just like me?"

"This is for your good as well as Dusk, we cannot burden you with a sick Mother when you yourself have a heavy burden. Besides, I don't want you to know about the pain, I'm afraid you're worried. Now I want to ask you, do you want me to get well or not?"

"Dad asked what kind of question? I obviously want to heal."

"Then follow what Dad said, you should pretend not to know about the mother's illness. Later afraid that if you know you already know everything, mother will even be the mind, leave the house and this even makes the condition worse, right?"

"So I have to make a show that everything's okay?"

"Yes, to keep the mother feeling and also maintain her health."

"Well, if not really, how could you ask this of me? How, the hell are you?"

"Ma I work in a group house, yes," said Karang sitting next to his mother.

"This is, sunday. Tumben?"

"Yes, his duties are gathered tomorrow." The coral extended its hand to shake. "I brought a motorbike, Ma. Let's spit."

"Yes, careful. Don't go home in the afternoon."

The coral snatched the key of the motor that was in the drawer near the TV. Running around like a teenager who can't wait to get out of the house with his friends.

Working on group assignments is one of the reasons that Corals often use to go out to spend time with their friends. Whether it's just a coffee on the side of the road or a cafe or just hanging out at one of his friends' houses.

Corals prefer to spend time with their schoolmates because they can get out of their emotions when they are with them.

"Well, is there Karina?" asked Karang as soon as he reached his friend's house.

"It's okay, but what if there's me?"

"It's nothing, but, we're different levels of class I mean. I don't mean anything."

"Just hanging out, really have to be one class at a level?"

"Not really, anyway" replied Karang scratching his nape.

The coral sat next to Karina, because it was only that place that was empty. Just putting his butt on the carpet pad, Coral's right hand had already stretched out toward the table and picked up a cigarette. Put it in your mouth and burn one side.

"Gue Denger yesterday you were sampled with Dion, huh?"

"Yes, he's jealous because you talked to me. Anyway, why don't you accept her love. I am sure you know, every day being chased with her. At least don't talk to me at school. I'm not going to school to make a fuss, not to fight with a girl's child. I swear I don't know."

"Go to school and just come to school. Pake event do not want to fuss anymore, noh next school children enter the hospital because you beat up."

"Don't talk about it, because of him I'm a handsome Cepet same driver, right?"

"Rang," call Karina.

Coral turned his head without making a sound, immediately he was surprised when he felt the lips for touching his lips for a moment, just a few seconds. But it feels so, ah it is very difficult to be explained by the Coral.

All the teenagers who were there only he looked at two people who were looking at each other with a red face. Unknowingly Coral palpated her lips.

"Still saying you don't think about girls?"

"Obviously, yes. Whatever you do to me, I'll never change my mind, I'll never change my opinion if the girl is complicated."

"Lo there is a problem what the hell, Rang the same relationships that we should be living. I mean, you're kind of anti-monkey love."

"Gue lives without love, and will forever never know that one word. Love for me does not exist."
