Dusk At the End Please

She is Mine

At ten o'clock in the night Shanum had already laid his body on the bed. After bathing and chatting for a while with Mr. Imran who was still awake Shanum was keen to rest. While Ms. Hana was asleep with Humairah.

It was a very tiring day for Shanum. From the preparation to the end he was directly involved in this big event. Prepare the best dishes for guests. Make sure everything goes according to customer expectations. Although tiring matchless but customer satisfaction, guest praise to some directly propose cooperation with him make tired Shanum yawn. He did not expect to be re-engaged with Akhtar.

Staring at the ceiling of the room, a smile rose on Shanum's lips as he recalled his time with Akhtar a few hours ago. Shanum can feel there is comfort when chatting about the school days in Junior High with Akhtar. No more awkwardness, Shanum really enjoyed the togetherness.

Ting....

The sound of an incoming message notification returned Shanum's consciousness from his daydream. His eyes were still unwillingly closed, he grabbed the device stored on a small table beside his bed.

Shanum squinted when he saw the incoming message from a number that was not stored in his contact list. Doubt him to open it, fearing only a prankster in the middle of the night. Shanum kept his device back, without opening the message. He closed his eyes hoping to fall asleep soon.

Ting...

The notification of the re-entry message made Shanum open his eyes again.

Ting...

Ting...

Ting...

Not yet Shanum reached his goal, some messages have entered back into his account. He finally woke up from his sleep, sitting leaning on the head of the bed. Taking a device that reads several times indicates many incoming messages.

08xxx.......

'Assalamu'alaikum'

'Easy sleeping?'

'Capek huh?'

'I ate first, right?'

'Rest!'

'Sleep well!'

'May the dream be beautiful!'

Shanum frowned, not knowing who was sending him consecutive messages at night like this.

Curious, but he refused to reply. Afraid if the person is just a fad or misdeliver. Shanum turned his dress into a silent mode. He put the device back on the table, put it back on his body. Surprised with all the do'a and hope for a better tomorrow.

While on the second floor of FDF furniture, Ahsan is being interrogated all-out. Akhtar requested that Ahsan repeat everything he heard from Liani, not to be missed by a single sentence. After escorting Liani to the house of Ms Fatimah's parents, Ahsan hurriedly headed for the furniture. Ringing gawainya has repeatedly reads, apparently the caller is impatient waiting for clarification of the truth of the news he just received via a message in the whatsapp application.

And here they are now. Three men were sitting at the mini bar in the room. Ahsan told her what she heard from Liani, she also told her the information she got from Yusup. With a sharp look and a serious facial expression Akhtar listened carefully to Ahsan's words.

He squeezed his own hair, felt furious with himself, regretting himself choosing not to know anything all along. Again he made the same mistake about Shanum. He only knew everything from what he heard without intending to be sure to return with both eyes.

"Aarrggh...." Akhtar yelled as he dropped his butt on the sofa. He was speechless, confused as to what kind of expression. On the one hand the news of Haqi's death became a sorrow for Shanum including himself because indeed they had several times been involved in business affairs. But on the other hand Akhtar felt that he had gained hope to fight for his love again.

"Bro, am I evil not if now feel happy with Shanum's status?" Akhtar started to open his voice. He changed his sitting position, upright facing his two friends who were still silent on the mini bar chair.

"meaning?" Ghifar switched seats to the sofa and followed Ahsan by bringing his two coffee beans and Akhtar.

"Yes.gue feels a little good, even though death is something that will leave sorrow and sorrow. But my heart could not lie that I could finally freely go back to Shanum" Akhtar said softly, he lowered his head to the thick carpet that became the floor.

"If I think, it's Bro's destiny. You ever heard the saying that it is as difficult as it is, if it is yours in the end God will do for you" Ghifar again put forward his thoughts.

"The time is now to make you fight, do not be saggy. Don't lose your golden opportunity again. I know you've sacrificed a lot, especially about your love and feelings. Now is the time to pursue your own happiness, Bro" continued Ghifar, he enthusiastically encouraged Akhtar to actively fight for his love and happiness.

Ahsan who had been silent and was even cool to enjoy the onion nuts that Shanum made as a bonus from catering that Akhtar messages attracted Akhtar's attention.

"Who said I was quiet from earlier who said it was me" since the beginning of coming Akhtar was directly interrogating Ahsan, he did not give Ahsan a chance to first rest when he had previously driven his car at a high enough speed and ran up the furniture stairs towards the second floor.

"Now I'm running out of energy, so I need ammunition" he continued with a sewot. Akhtar took a deep breath, his heart justifying Ahsan's reasoning because it was him who forced it. While Ahsan continued to enjoy the onion nuts voraciously.

Glek..glek....

After nearly half the jar of onion nuts was reduced, Ahsan drank the mineral water Ghifar had brought for him, looking very thirsty. In addition to being exhausted, eating onion nuts in large portions makes his throat dry.

"eu....Alhamdulillah" Ahsan burped loudly, making his two companions shocked and shook their heads. Akhtar even threw him with a sofa pillow which Ahsan then captured to make his headrest.

"Gue is happy if you want to fight for your love again" said Ahsan, his eyes look cute, drowsiness has begun to attack him.

Ghifar glanced at Akhtar when he heard Ahsan say that with a less excited expression. It seemed that Akhtar had the same thoughts as him.

The atmosphere became silent, no one spoke. Ahsan had already started to close his eyes due to the drowsiness that was drowning him. Akhtar and Ghifar were engrossed in their own thoughts. Ghifar understands the anxiety experienced by his best friend and boss at this time.

"Bro, you still love Shanum?" finally Akhtar revealed something that stuck in his heart, he wanted clarity by hearing directly from Ahsan about the next life mission after finding out if Shanum turned out to be single again.

"Well.what?" Ahsan started to lose consciousness, but she still heard a little if Akhtar asked her.

"Lo still loves Shanum?" Akhtar repeated his question with heightened intonation. Sontak made Ahsan's consciousness slowly entering the dream world return. He changed his sitting position to stand facing his two best friends.

"What do you mean?" ahsan asked a little furiously with that question, his eyes sharply staring at Akhtar.

"Gue just asked, so that we can both clearly determine the next step" Akhtar explained the purpose of the question. He took the water in the mineral bottle that was in front of him, the glek...Akhtar drank the rest of the water Ahsan had drunk.

"Lo was the second person to ask that. I'm surprised, does it look so good that I still love Shanum?" Ahsan asked back with a serious face, that question was very poignant in Akhtar's heart.

The atmosphere was tense, Ghifar was on alert with various possibilities that would occur. Ghifar had never seen Akhtar and Ahsan fight, they loved each other very much and protected each other but I don't know when it comes to matters of the heart, they have a great love for the same woman.

"Why?" ahsan jolted when he saw Akhtar's gaze as if it would finish him off.

"Well, you can't make a difference between love and love, huh?" he said again

"Honestly, I admit that until now I still love Shanum very much, I want to always keep and protect him. I don't want Shanum to be sad, hearing Haqi die at the age of their marriage has not long made me sick, I'm very sad. I can't imagine how Shanum felt at the time. I'm sure Shanum is very sad, I know she's a tough girl, but behind her toughness she's actually fragile as well but she always manages to hide the grief behind her smile"

"And now I want Shanum to be happy, I love him as much as unfortunately a brother to his sister. I love you too, Bro. You're not just a cousin to me, you're my best friend. I was sad when I didn't wake up from a coma. Even for months, aunt Sopia always said to remove all the tools that stick in your body but Dad same I am the most opposed person. Maybe if at that time you know, you will also be the front person who opposes the suggestion of aunt sopia" Akhtar was surprised to hear Ahsan's story about her mother, but he ignored it because what he was facing right now was much more important.

"Now I want you to be happy too, I want you to take back Shanum's heart. Go after him, don't let anyone fill his heart, this time you have to be the winner, bro".

Ahsan spoke at length. Everything he said was sincere from his heart. He did love Shanum but now there was not the slightest desire in his heart to have Shanum. She had actually gotten comfort from another woman, a woman she had unknowingly always been there for all along. Faithful to hear his every complaint and understand himself.

The tension created faded instantly, the atmosphere turned into a day. Akhtar stood up and approached Ahsan. He hugged his cousin and best friend tightly. Fortunate to have him, he turned to Ghifar, with Akhtar's smile stretching out one hand. Asking Ghifar to join in his arms. The three of them hugged each other, Akhtar grew happier. Now he is determined to regain Shanum's heart, fighting for a love that was separated because of another destiny. Akhtar is grateful he is surrounded by good people today, who are always there even in the most bizarre times of his life.

"Aarrgghhhh...remove!" Ahsan suddenly shouted in the middle of the atmosphere full of blue.

"For a long time I hugged you two, crazy ya y'all emang me guys what the fuck. Sorry yes, I am still normal" Ahsan said, he had returned with his absurd style, always able to give laughter to anyone nearby.

"Diih...najis!" as Ghifar and Akhtar moved away, they returned to their seats flicking their hands at each other's bodies.

Before long their laughter broke out, the three laughed out loud, dissolving in a happy atmosphere that became the ending of their story today.

Akhtar was already in his room, Ghifar and Ahsan chose to sleep in the living room while watching the ball game. The body is clean, bathing with warm water is the choice before going to bed. Akhtar laid his body on his king-size bed.

"His eyes stared at the ceiling of the white-painted room, his mind glaring forward, how he would string his life together with Shanum later. A smile rose on his lips as he imagined how happy he would be. But considering how all this time Shanum covered his status, as if building a high fortress between Shanum and himself made the image of a happy life that he would soon reach back evaporate.

Akhtar had to earnestly fight to be able to get Shanum's heart and this time it seemed like it would be harder than ever. It was not easy to become a medicine for the heart that he had once incised a wound in it.

"I won't give up, anything I'll do to win her heart back. This time I don't want to lose any more, enough mistakes in the past to be a valuable lesson for the better in the present and the future. She is mine"

Akhtar spoke to himself, he grabbed the device on the nightstand beside his bed, looking for contact with the name of the Owner of the Heart.
