Dusk In Eye Pelupuk

early bright spot.

A week has passed, Jena has been through a lot. The person who often exchanged messages with him was Bagas' father, the person who often met him was Bagas' father, even today they both have appointments at the cafe dealing with Will's company. Jena deliberately chose the place, there is something that Bagas' father will leave to him and it would be nice if the object was directly brought before Mr. Salman.

The red binder had arrived at his master, looking even more worn out, yet capable of painting a smile on Jena's face. Opening page after page, the woman, momentarily traveled about the past.

" Dad, I don't know what to do to get back at your better" he said with a look inseparable from the binder.

" It's enough to be a happy woman, go back to being Jena who used to laugh".

The speech made Jena bow her face, sound easy but very difficult to do.

" Kid Jena, have you forgiven me?".

" What should I forgive, if you haven't done anything wrong".

" You don't blame the father who gave God's blessing to marry Tiara?".

The woman in black shook her head. Putting her reading glasses on the table, Jena looked straight at Bagas' father.

" Jelita's father and mother have long awaited the presence of grandchildren, when Tiara is able to give you what you want, should Jena blame you?".

" You have every right to anger Jena, you even have the right to refuse their marriage".

" When I refused the marriage, the Lord threw me out of my life", the beautiful eyelids were sad, considering that the pain almost caused tears to fall on both cheeks.

There is not much Bagas can say back, his ears become deaf when he knows will soon fondle grandchildren, forget Jena's rejection and firmly approve of the marriage of his two sons.

" Dad, stop. All has passed, father is innocent, this is my destiny".

The sling of the river began to pool from the old man's eyes "You really have a heart as big as a son, you don't even hate me".

" That hatred will only add to the pain in my heart, father, I must make peace with the circumstances for the sake of the sanity of my soul".

"Have you really begun to make peace with the situation?"

Jena nodded slowly.

" What if God wants to come back to you?", expectantly, the old man looked at Jena with hope.

" When he was with Tiara?".

Faintly Jena caught Bagas' little nod.

" It was so unacceptable to my father, I'm sorry", that the face was bowed again, for some reason looking at the tiles below was more interesting than a clash with Bagas. It was heartless to see the hope emanating from his two eyes.

Bagas took a slow breath "Dad really understood son, I should have known myself before asking that".

Jena took the old man's fingers, clasped him tightly "No father, don't blame yourself father. For me, living life as if I was riding a vehicle, I had to look ahead so as not to have an accident".

" Don't the vehicle have two mirrors, son, don't you want to use that rearview mirror?".

" Of course I have to use it, I'll use that rearview mirror every once in a while, looking back like I learned a lesson from my past life. Like any road I take, I still have to move forward if I want to achieve my goals in life. My goal now is happiness. Didn't you want me to be happy" he said, reminding Bagas of his desire after giving him a red binder.

"Please wait a minute, I'm leading the meeting".

When employees choose the rooftop as a gathering place, eating lunch, snacks or just waiting for someone, Jena chose to wait for Salman's presence in the library. The most comfortable place of Will's publishing company is the library, the smell of the books feels good to breathe, causing enthusiasm even when his brain is deadlocked looking for ideas to type scripts.

The shelves contained thousands of towering books, the woman's small body getting smaller while she was there. His head looked up as he passed through it, if Jena was allowed to stay in this library, of course the woman would be very happy.

After looking around, the body was feeling tired, probably due to his very irregular sleep schedule lately.

Putting the headset in his ear, while sitting leaning against the wall of the bookcase Jena enjoyed the murotal back of the Qur'an that he has been doing lately. Closing both eyes, the fatigue was slowly reduced, there was an indescribable calm. Just hear and feel, and that fragile soul feels peace.

In another corner, enjoying the face of a beautiful woman who was closing her eyes, Rio was so fascinated by the beauty of a Jena.

" What God created you from, Jena, when you close your eyes you are very beautiful" whispered Rio's heart is not much different from what Agam often thinks. What a charm a Jena can not be doubted, even with a smile that is almost gone, the woman is able to stir the hearts of men. It was only natural that the Gods were so infatuated with him. In the past, before sadness took away Jena's happiness, the woman always smiled and laughed, how beautiful God's creature was.

" Ahem" Rio was unable to contain himself. The man approached Jena.

Instantly the pair of pretty eyes opened, looking at Rio who was smiling at him.

" Do I disturb your calm?"

" No" said Jena released the headset, obviously the presence of Rio was very disturbing, deliberately listening to the murotal with a small volume, not in the hope of others who were waiting, others who met.

" What's wrong with your face, you've been tense since you saw me".

As usual, Jena always asked Rio with her words "Obviously, without any cue you came to my parents, making them urge me to accept your proposal".

Immediately Rio's face blushed" Then, how did you respond?".

" Did you have any other questions? I thought my father had given you an answer".

Slightly cornered, Rio scratched his throat while smiling wryly "Who knows your answer will change".

Jena raised both eyebrows "Who would have thought that answer would not change!".

" Come on Jena____"

" Salman" Jena waved as Salman's figure was not far from them.

" I'm sorry, there's something important I need to do".

Although clearly rejected, Rio would not give up so easily "May I accompany you?"

" No need, we're not that close until you have to come with me".
