Dusk And Suffering

89. A Warm Family

"Yes, you ate first."

"No need Ma'am, I've taken a lot from last night."

"Udah eat first, later you will not allow Mbak to go home if you do not want to eat."

The twilight slowly lowered the back of the Coral to walk towards the dining table and sat the young man down on one of the chairs.

After making sure the Coral sat down and took food, Dusk returned to his mother. The woman explained the matter of Coral sleeping in her house.

"What! So he's your father's son?"

Flowing the story of the life of the Coral who entered the dark world because of the actions of the Father. Not to forget Dusk also explained that he intended to change the Coral to the right path.

It looks like Manda who nodded in agreement with her son's plan. It is also like thinking of Dusk. He wants everything to be peaceful and fine. If possible, Manda wants them all to be his family.

"I'm gonna take a shower, yeah. Later I'll chat with Karang let deket also Mother. Let him also feel like he has a family whose time is devoted to him. He just needs it for real."

"Yes, just calm down."

When Manda and Dusk were busy talking about Karang, Alana was out of control. The girl of Dusk was busy asking questions with Coral.

"Of! Where did you know Mama from?"

Alana was sitting in a chair near the Coral, her mouth could not stand still, kept asking questions as well as chewing food.

"Meet on the street. What's your name?" Only last night the Coral stayed in the Dusk delay, but the rigidity of its heart had already begun to melt bit by bit.

"Alana, who's playing it's my twin sister. Name's Alan. When you're done eating, play yuk!"

"Apologies yet?" sahut Manda walked to the dining table.

"I'm sorry? Oh, yeah forgot. I'm sorry, um, I was with you to hit Om."

"Yes, it's okay. Not sick, really. No one was hurt."

"Oma, yell at the maling. So I'm taking a gun, right."

"Kok you're turning on Oma. Play the same as Alan. Let's eat first."

Alana got down from the chair by advancing her lips a few centi. While Manda's focus returned to Karang who had just put his last rice in.

"If you want to add, add it. Not very sad."

"Yes, ma'am, thank you. This is enough. Sorry I seem too troublesome. Though I just know the same as Madam Dusk."

Coral is really sad, but honestly he admires the warmth and kindness he received from this family. Their togetherness is so adhesive despite having family members who are not much.

"No, I'm just happy if anyone wants to play here. The house is empty during the work day. Just have Mom and Aunt. Dusk work, school children. Rarely does anyone play here, most often here si...."

"Yuh, sorry. My beloved is coming" cried Leo from the main door.

As usual, the twins who rarely got along immediately ran towards the door. Fight to open the square object and fight over who is in Leo's embrace first.

"Newly also mentioned has appeared, it's called Leo, his friend Dusk."

"Yes Ma'am, last night I met him it looks like they were close."

The coral just nodded awkwardly. He walked behind Manda a little nervously. However, he was in the middle of a family he did not know.

Although their treatment made Karang comfortable, there was still an awkward feeling that lingered in his heart. He tried hard to be ordinary, not to show that he was nervous. With courage he sat down to join the central fox with Leo and the twins. They seem to be continuing the game that had stopped because of the presence of Coral.

"Om Corals come, yeah." Alana who is chatty and easily familiar with people trying to melt the atmosphere.

"Can emang?"

"By dong."

Corals eventually entered into the ABC game. Children's games that are rarely seen in this sophisticated era.

"The animal before him E. The eagle!" alana shouted excitedly.

"Elephant." Leo answered.

Coral and Alan were thinking hard. Feeling that there was no answer to the name of the animal starting with the letter E, Alan took the initiative to give powder on his face and the face of the Coral.

"So Om, nothing," said Alan smeared the cheek Coral with powder.

It is favored by Alana, due to the defeat of her twin sister, she can freely prank Alan. According to Alana, this is the right revenge because every day always makes her cry.

"Well, how to wear lipstick anyway, there is no rule to wear lipstick, yes earlier. People from earlier the rules only use powder, why now there is Lipstick too?" Alan protests when Alana opens the lid of a red blushing lipstick.

"I'm a woman here, so I'm free to do anything. I want to wear lipstick and this lipstick can only be used just like other Alana can not. A little by Alan, not much do not close his face! I count to three if it doesn't open too, I forcefully open it and I scribble your whole face on this, yeah."

Alan was still unmoved, he still covered his face with both palms. Feeling that he lost not alone, he invited Karang to conspire with him.

"Sst Om," whispered Alan very slowly.

Coral is not aware of Alan's whisper, but the one who realizes it is Leo. Understanding the way of mind that is in his son's mind, Leo finally opened Alan's hand and invited Alana freely to cross the face of her twin brother.

"Om no, Om. Ouch freelin. I don't want to wear lipstick." Alan thrashed out wanting to be released.

The coral just kept quiet while smacking his smile. I don't know what a smile is for, but his heart is sliced with pain because he lost the childhood that he was supposed to pass through like Alan and Alana. He had complete parents, but it was like he had no parents. While Alan and Alana only have a mother, but as if their lives are surrounded by people who devote attention and sincere love to her.

Coral Smile slowly faded, he lowered his head holding back the tears that were about to shed. The mischievous Karang now, it turns out his heart is still easily touched as well.

Tears were about to drip out, because Alana suddenly smeared her cheeks with lipstick with a long streak.

"Alana's running, Alan's berserk!" leo shouted at his daughter.

The truth is, Alan who had been able to with powder sow in a large container was not willing to run alone. He brought the Coral to come with him.

"Bring Om, we go after them." Alan gave a sow powder to the Coral.

"It's dangerous to get eyes."

"Pure. This Mama buy abroad, will not be dangerous if you enter the eye. Come on, Om, they'll be far away. I can't go after it alone."

The hands of the Coral that the little boy dragged along inevitably followed in his footsteps. They find Alana and Leo hiding in the front garden of the house.

Before long, those who were divided into two teams now threw powder at each other. The originally awkward coral began to get carried away, as several times his face and hair were doused by the powder. For a moment Karang forgot his sadness, he laughed along with three people who had changed his world for a moment.
