Dusk In Eye Pelupuk

Trip fun.

Riding a pickup under the clear morning sky, what a new experience that makes Jena keep smiling happy. High water on the highway reached the knees of adults, it was fitting that Yasir was not sure they would be able to pass through the flood on foot to the dock. The children around swim here and there, their laughter is so loose that it is transmitted to Jena.

"You happy?", asked Zafirah, Jena's pretty face became even more beautiful as she laughed. The two beautiful eyes narrowed as the lip line swooped up.

With innocence Jena bailed in laughter"Look, they swam freely even though the water looked murky".

Zafirah smiled"You will be more happy when we arrive at the refugee camp, see the faces of the beneficiaries, what a beautiful sight and make you addicted to giving back".

"What's wrong with their faces?", asked Jena, who is actually a beginner in the volunteer world, a little worried, Jena almost thought a no-no.

The black-hooded girl asked Jena to look up at the sky, her index finger painted a smile up there"They'll laugh, their hearts will be very happy when this help we bring arrives".

Nodding small, Jena understood what Zafirah was saying"Zafirah, since when did you volunteer?".

The shady face was so natural in the morning breeze, the big veil she was wearing flashed with the wind's caress"Not long ago".

"Reason?".

The woman did not and replied, looking a little hesitant at last she told me"To be honest, my original intention was to join this volunteer team just to escape".

Jena's eyes were round in disbelief"You don't brag, someone I know always says sin if you lie".

"If by swearing you'd believe, I might swear. But I am not one who easily takes an oath, for in that oath I always include the name of our creator, Allah azza wa jalla".

"Attacked people want to believe or not, which is clear I always keep my words from lying" continued Zafirah firmly.

Jena's lips smiled down with a sniffing shoulder, Zafirah's words were really no joke"Alright, I believe you, then, who are you running away from?".

Letting go of the view as far as possible, the girl pulled the end of her veil and played it"I like a guy, but he doesn't like me".

Jena closed both eyes, it was not only her who was trapped in a feeling called love.

"You're not trying to make her fall in love with you?", Jena looked at Zafirah fixedly, the hooded woman was very pretty in Jena's eyes, it is beyond belief that he was rejected by a man.

Zafirah shook her head weakly"She rejected me before I actually tried to make her fall in love with me, after all, I did not dare to act more to persuade her to become my companion. My brother and his father had already discussed our relationship, and still the man was not willing to live with me".

"You should have tried harder to convince her", Jena was anxious because Zafirah seemed resigned to the choice of the man of her dreams.

Again Zafirah shook his head"I have to keep my pride Naira, also my brother's self-esteem, if that man is my soul mate we will definitely meet someday", he said sound resigned.

"You good woman Zafirah, I'm sure that man will regret turning a blind eye to your beauty and kindness".

"No Naira, there's a lot of beautiful women where I live. But the man was not interested in it one bit. I hear he likes other women".

"Oh, that's. I was wondering, you said there are many beautiful women in your place, where do you live? village beautiful woman??", a little joking, Jena intends to entertain her new friend who looks sad after telling her about love that did not arrive.

Sweet smile again engraved on Zafirah's face"I live in the boarding house that my brother founded".

"Waw, so you're a big man's daughter", which Jena knows, a boarding school leader must not be a random person. Highly educated in the field of religious and authoritative sciences. Meeting the son of a pak Kiayi really makes his heart happy"I'm proud of you", he said again.

"proudly?? what makes you proud??", thick eyebrows Zafirah linked up and down, Jena's words leave a question in mind.

"You, I'm proud to be friends with you" said the long-spirited woman.

Sontak Zafirah chuckled amusedly"Naira, I think there's something else that makes you proud. Me and you are alike, we are both God's creation, what you should be proud of me".

Both hands of Jena pull Zafirah's shoulders to be more fitting to face him"You must be very familiar with religion, you are also very graceful in dress. You really are a woman to be proud of, Zafirah, I'm really lucky to meet you".

"Astaghfirullah, do not over praise the humans, not good Naira!", Zafirah recalls.

Back laughing, Jena is adorable in the eyes of Zafirah"You are not much different from Sabila, adorable. It is very lawful to be hit so as not to over praise fellow human beings".

"Hihi, am I really adorable? then, do you have the heart to hit this adorable woman??", asked Jena in addition to laughter.

Pinched both of Jena's cheeks in excitement, Zafirah spoke again"Slow down your voice while laughing, Naira!".

While closing her mouth, Jena held back a laugh because of the flutter she got from Zafirah.

The pickup car eventually drove on the road not submerged in flood, entered a small road junction and arrived at a dock.

Jena back in made flabbergasted, he was used to seeing the vast sea. However, this is the first time to see a freshwater river that is so wide, although not as wide as the ocean still makes Jena gawk.

"Are you surprised again?", asked Zafirah.

Jena nodded in laughter. His teeth never dried from the beginning of the pickup, always smiling and laughing. It was completely inversely proportional to him before joining this group.

Large boats with a colorful paint, Jena's eyes sparkled imagining he would soon climb into one of the boats. While waiting for male volunteers to transport goods, Jena sat in the bow of the boat that was ready to go. Small gosongs are formed in the middle of the river, like small poultices that are widely spread along the river. A tree of two trees grew and developed in the charred, back Jena was amazed by the viewer. Intending to take photos of the beautiful scenery around, Jena just realized her phone was running out of power. Put the phone back in the pants pocket, unfortunate indeed, the device plunged freely into the river.

"My phone!!!", cry Jena reach the wind, in fact the phone is gone.

"Innalilahi", exclaimed Yasir who happened to witness the incident.

Jena's face buckled wryly, what should she do. The phone was gone from his grasp.

Dive in? his cellphone? not to be arrogant, the price of a phone with a bitten fruit logo is nothing to Jena. Precisely the woman was afraid of troublesome people, it might even endanger one's life"No need! I will buy a cell phone just later" he exclaimed, as Yasir was seen to convey his intentions to the surrounding population.

"I see, you're using Naira's expensive phone".

Looking for an excuse, Jena ended up lying"The phone was broken, I did intend to buy a new one".

"really?".

"Hem", nodding Jena.

"Alright, then we will leave soon" said Yasir who was nodded by Jena.

Several boats began to leave the dock, Jena along with Syabila and Zafirah were in the same boat. If like a boy who escaped the supervision of parents, even though he was just sitting, the girl's mouth was very excited to comment on what she saw.

"Wuihhh, there are so many trees", he exclaimed, His index finger wandered around"See Zafirah, there are monkeys", he exclaimed as he saw some small monkeys walking and hanging on the branches of the tree.

"Shuuttt", Zafirah gestured for the girl to lower the volume of the talk, but Shayn did not heed Zafirah's warning.

"Nai, there's an animal crossing the river" his screech pulled Jena's arm for a single look with him. Sure enough, Jena saw some black cows crossing in the creek.

"Heh, cows swim!!!", no different from Shayala, Jena was swept away in a new sight that spoils the eye.

"Dad!!!! there's another monkey!!", yelped. This time the monkey they saw was quite large, even his face looked thick, like it was filled with a long mane.

"Photo Bill, photo!!", Jena exclaimed.

"Zafirah, don't you want to take a photo of the animal??" asked Jena.

"No, don't you realize, your attitude makes them behind us chuckle. You are like villagers who have just penetrated the city", whispered Zafirah in Jena's ear and then approached by Syabila.

The two women looked back, and indeed, they were behind them laughing at them.

"Forwardly, you are very comforting" said those watching Jena and Syapila's behavior.

Jena pulled the big veil of Zafirah looking straight ahead, hiding her face behind the veil of her best friend.

"Why are you hiding" asked Zafirah laughing amusedly.

"Shame", great-grandson Jena. While Syabila pulled the tip of her own veil to form like a veil that covered her face.

"You too are shameless?", asked Zafirah to move on. The girl nodded, and Zafirah laughed even more.

The uproar momentarily subsided, they were enjoying the scene quietly. Almost an hour wading through the big river, but the next pier is not visible.

"You who are in the bow, duck when passing under the bridge" cried Yasir who was in the rear position, adjacent to the boat driver.

Again, Jena and Syabila were made excited by the view in front of them. Flood water with a high depth makes the river widen, making the water higher until it almost touches the transregional plateau.

"Yes!!!! are we going to cross under that bridge??" Shaytah's screams were shocked.

"Be calm, as long as you duck, your head won't get stuck" Yasir exclaimed, the man's voice clashing with the sound of a blow-machine moving the boat.

Zafirah immediately ducked as low as possible, the speed of the boat could not be predicted, Zafirah did not want to risk going home to the boarding school without carrying his head.

"Still far away, why did you duck first" Jena asked.

"I don't want to go home without a head".

"Glek!", Jena swallowed the saliva. That's right, Zafirah's words suddenly made her hair stand up.

A little bit more they'll cross under the bridge"What's going forward back??".

"Whatever, as long as you duck", said Jena.

"I___", If you're worried about going in which direction.

Quickly Jena pulled the veil Syapila until the girl was lying down but in a sitting position. While Jena follows Zafirah's position, ducking perfectly.

A few seconds passed quickly under the bridge, the volunteers cheered in relief through the bridge.

"Alhamdulillah", exclaimed Zafirah breathing a sigh of relief.

"Akh!!", cried Shebila still in a recumbent position.

Jena looked at Syabila beside her"You're all right??".

"My waist!!", screamed Shebila accompanied by laughter of volunteers.
