Dusk In Eye Pelupuk

Grey memories

The day before evening when Agam and Jena left the city to the beach, the sky began to increase at that time. Opening the window of the larger car Jena crossed both hands on the edge of the car window, propping her face there and breathing in the cool air that made her heart a little comfortable.

" Do you like twilight very much?"

" Hem" he murmured glanced at the rearview mirror then took out his hand" Rain, lately the rain often comes at night"

Agam also opened the car glass and took out his hand, the speck of the rain began to fall on the palm of the hand.

" Do you like the rain?"

" Yes" said the woman again.

" Do you know why?"

" We're not that close to you knowing everything I like and don't like"

The line of small curved smiles on Agam's face, the more the woman built a fortress between them the more she wanted him to tear down the separation fortress.

" What kind of person could be closer to Jena's sister?"

" Nothing"

An answer that is quite touching the heart, it seems that this one man must try harder to melt the heart of the woman.

" Why?"

" I don't know"

Stopped the car" What answer is that, didn't Jena? I asked about you, not about anyone else"

" How can I give an answer, I don't want to have someone closer to me"

" Is it because of your separation from the gods?"

" Yes" Jena replied quickly.

Hearing Jena's tone seemed like Agam was making a mistake this time. Curiosity leads him to ask about God, the man who managed to destroy Jena's trust. Agam, like not understanding how disappointed Jena was in the man and now he just brought up a name that was very careless to hear.

" Hurry up and run the car" Jena pinta.

" All right, sister Jen___"

" Agam, I'm tired, I want to close my eyes for a moment"

The situation became quiet, Jena closed the car window and threw away the face of Agam. For him who wants to recover from a broken heart, it should be nothing when Agam brought back a name, only he could not control himself to act ordinary when the name was mentioned.

Late to realize his mistake Agam can only bite his lips, slowly guilt envelops him.

" I'm sorry" he finally said.

" That's it"

" I____"

" Silence Agam, do not ignite my emotions" recalled Agam who always spoke softly to him Jena refrained from yelling at Agam. Jena, pull the hat on her jumper jacket and drown the head there, as if she did not want to face Agam at this time. That attitude even more frightened Agam, he did not want to make the heart of his female idol sad and hurt.

The rain was getting heavier, the heart that was restless with the growing feelings of guilt made Agam less careful. Because in the rain the road became slippery and the car almost lost control.

" Game!!"

" Glam!!!" jena shouted, that's the benefit of using a seat belt. Each of them looked surprised.

" What are you doing??" peekkik Jena" I still want to live. If you can't drive, you can ask me to replace you"

" Sorry brother, sorry. I'm losing control"

" What are you thinking?? quickly wake yourself up, I really want to get home"

" I'm sorry you" Agam continued to apologize, he didn't know as good as the impact of Jena's anger on him.

" Stop apologizing, now we're changing positions. Looks like you're exhausted, I'm the only one driving"

In front of the road not far from them Agam saw a mushola, remembering it was time to carry out the obligation he also asked Jena to stop for a moment there.

Without asking much, Jena thought it was good for them to stop there. The rain is getting heavier and it doesn't feel so good to continue the journey.

Not intending to fulfill obligations like Agam, Jena just stayed in a car parked in the mosque yard. From inside the car he could see the man was busy taking water ablution along with several other men. Not many people at that time, maybe because of the rush of rain so that the surrounding residents choose to fulfill their obligations at home only.

Using a plain black peci, why was he so attractive in Jena's eyes. Is this what is called the power of ablution water?" Hais!!! with both eyes, remember you'll cry again if you drop your heart on a man" that's how Jena wakes up. Not wanting to be lulled by the face of Agam that was quite interesting at the time, Jena chose to reach for his cellphone and type a name.

" Pen girl "

a female writer who rose to fame after releasing a novel called "Step with You" on a famous novel app. Not yet known who exactly the author, until this article is loaded no media can reveal the actual profile of the author. In addition to the novel "Step with You" the pen girl also has several novels, but for readers of the novel "Step with You is "more adorable to enjoy.

" Damn it, obviously the novel was more interesting. That's my work, you just changed the title. Who exactly is the person hiding behind the pen name" Jena said.

Jemari search for the name of the author in a different application container with him writing. Stepping with you is very much loved there, Jena was really upset when reading 1 Chapter. The events, writings, language used there are very reflective of his work. In addition to changing the title, the pen girl also changed all the names of the actors in the novel.

Emotions soared when he read a reply from the author on one of the reader's comments" Thanks for the support, it's not in vain I often stayed up for the sake of completing the manuscript of this novel"

" Ash!!!" Jena slapped her arm on her thigh. If only he knew who the author was, he was eager to throw a fist at him.

The ringing of the phone made Jena take a deep breath, the name of the caller added to the frustration inside.

" Have you apologized to the writer?"

" Why do I apologize for not making a mistake"

" Jenaira, we better make peace. He had plenty of evidence to prove the truth of the owner of the novel. The novel's gonna be in the open soon, you're blocking his career"

" You're crazy. I read a novel that he said belonged to him. It's my writing, the result of my hard work"

" Maybe you just remember wrong, you've written a lot of novels. I know once in a while you might run out of ideas, I understand if you use someone else's work and imitate it"

The editor's words felt an insult to him" Kirana, where are you now?"

" I'm still in the office, this problem makes me work hard Jena"

" Are you very depressed?"

" Yes of course"

" Do you want this to be over soon?"

" Of course" Kirana said in the sound of sheets of paper clashing. It seems he was checking out his old manuscript first.

" I'll solve your problem soon"

Kirana was heard sighing in relief" Finally you want to apologize to them, thanks Jena. It'll all be over if you do that, you know we could lose hundreds of millions if he demands a loss"

" Don't be happy, I'm not afraid to lose hundreds of millions. And about solving your problems, I'll just kill you and die with you tonight. So this problem will be solved soon, no"

" Jenaaaaa, you're so scary" Kirana shouted from the other end of the phone.

" Are you scared? I can do that instead of having to apologize to the copycat writer"

" Jena, come. Your genre alone is different, only the novel is a romance genre whereas now all your novels are horror genre" whine Kirana" Honestly I also feel you do not do plagiarism, but now all your novels are horror genre, but for the sake of mutual calm can you just forget your novel? the director no longer wants the work, he glanced at your other novels to be lifted to the big screen"

" Forgetting that work?? how could I forget, it was a work that I wrote secretly while still being a daughter-in-law in the God family, it was also my first work even though it was not so much in the interest. Forgetting it?? are you really crazy?" ask him full of anger" Long enough for the work to become famous, and you're asking me to forget it? the money you ate was Kirana's!" jena could not hold back her emotions anymore.

Kirana was at a loss for words, she knew Jena's efforts to become a writer were not easy. She was sneered and humiliated when she was caught writing a novel by her ex-husband's family, the family was low on the ability of a Jena. For them it's better to be an entrepreneur than a writer" Berkhayal, is that a job?" ask Jena the former in-law.

" Have Kirana, forget your crazy idea of asking me to apologize" Jena disconnected the call. Put your phone on the dashboard and close your eyes.

For Jena profession as a writer is a dream, majoring in college in the field of literature is a way to achieve that dream. The point of view of Jena and the God family is very much different, and that is one of the reasons why Jena was kicked from their family.

" Being a housewife, while fantasizing and pouring it into writing to become a novel, my heart feels tickled"

" After all, if you want to be a housewife, you don't have to have a child, how a woman can be called a mother if you give birth to a child you can't afford"

Remembering that made his heart tear again. Since coming out of the house he no longer shed tears because the days he passed in the residence of the gods were always filled with tears instead of laughter, tonight with the torrential rain of tears was back in the air.

" To death I will never forget that insult" Jena gulped over the puddles of tears on both her cheeks. Agam looks towards the car, and as much as possible Jena relieve the tears.

Removing the peci and storing it, the remaining wet hair exposed to ablution water makes the face of Agam shade more attractive.

His breath still leaves a cry, inviting Agam's attention to him" Sister Jena, are you crying?"

" Yes, I'm crying because I almost died with you" she said, not wanting to be forthright.

The palms of the two men's hands clung to each other, apologizing to Jena for the last time" I'm sorry Jena, I promise I'll be more careful"

" Oh, the rain is still heavy are we going to continue the journey?"

" It's up to you"

Jena lowered the back of the car seat, making it can lay down a little there" We wait until it subsides, my eyes feel heavy will be more dangerous if I take the car now"

" Well" Agam agreed to Jena's words.

Almost 20 minutes Jena closed her eyes, her hands hugging her very tightly. His face that was sleeping often stopped in Agam's memory, as now he always looks charming when closed eyes.

" I heard seeing the opposite sex linger can cause sin" Jena's remark made Agam wrong.

" I just___"

" Just what?" the question was still in its original position, closing both eyes with both hands tightly hugging itself.

" Hem__, just look at it for a second"

" For what?"

" It's___" suddenly a Gibran flashed through his brain" To see if there was any resemblance between Jena's and Gibran's legs" Agam said.

Jena grieved and opened her eyes" Don't compare my face to that rancid one"

" Not comparing, just looking for similarities"

" Away, very far away" he said seeing a puddle of water on the car's glass" Forget the rancid, I'm sure he was in the middle of a glut of enjoying the cuisine of the girl named Kanaya. Ah, I want to hear the chanting of verses that you call can calm the heart earlier, than I just closed my eyes but not really able to fall asleep"

It was thought that Agam also needed to listen to the murotal of the holy verses of the Qur'an, because with Jenasaat he really wanted but also a danger to him. Ck! why didn't he just turn it on!
