DUSK INJURED

1 Hour of Debate

Aurel opened the door a little to see the situation in the living room through the door gap. After being confirmed safe, then he opened the door with his left hand because his right hand was used to carry sandals.

He said in July he would go to the house of the Father without the knowledge of the Scale because this hour must have been sleeping.

Almost he held the doorknob, suddenly a Scale appeared from behind him. "Where are you going?"

Aurel regulated her pounding heartbeat from shock. Slowly he turned around in a grin, then the Scale showed the door lock. "Can't go out, it's a shame."

He turned around and checked the door, it was locked. "Skala, are you locked?"

"Aurel, you're not kapok see Daddy you're rampaging about that? Your mother just took a dip at work."

"I.-anu."

"What anu?"

"I want to ask you why you are the same as me."

"Trus if you know the answer?"

"I don't know."

"You go there, you're fucked. Your mother will worry, I will worry too."

"I'm going to the Father now" Aurel said, "I'm asking for the key." Aurel's hands were looking up.

The scale remained silent for a while while looking at Aurel's hand. He understood that Aurel was curious, but it would be nice later, if Damar was conscious/not drunk.

"I said no, right."

"Please..."

"You go to bed, tomorrow we go to the office until Malem, the same meeting July for the book contract."

"Make it today, seriously. I'm very tidy." The scale looks yes. But the answer is still no.

"Tomorrow, guys."

"I want it now."

"Yaudah wait here tomorrow."

Aurel clenched both of his hands and then stomped on the foot of the Scale firmly.

"Aw aw aw! Pain, Rail!"

Aurel crying. "I want to see you, you can't. Hix.. Hicks..." He walked back to his room, why until tomorrow if the edges are not allowed Scale.

The scale approached Aurel who was crying like a child. "Sleep there."

"No, I want to see you first."

The scale holds both shoulders Aurel, "Gini yes, if you go there yourself, then there will be nothing who is responsible? I'm not allowed to come along, your mother is going to stay at work."

Aurel walked again while putting her sandals in front of the room door, "Hiks. I broke down talking to you."

BRACKET'

The scale chuckled as the room door slammed, "He guessed, the host was afraid of such a ridiculous threat?" Masabodo, the important thing is that Aurel did not come out. He could sleep peacefully like this.

Good though.

***

Aurel sat in her study chair while playing with her laptop. He tried to find something about Bintang or Nabila through their sosmed.

When opening Instagram Nabila, there is a picture of him reading a book. The caption is like this, Know the book will not be betrayed ya :)

Whatdoes thatmean?

Ah yes, Aurel intends to join the swimming excul. Better he ask the Scale, definitely supported.

Very confident of you...

Aurel opened the door and saw Skala passing through her room about to go to the backyard.

"Why did you leave the room?" ask Scale.

"I want to go for the swimming experience. You told Mom, huh?"

"Hp you?"

"Again dicas."

"Well, can you swim?"

"I want to learn."

Just as Juli was hearing Aurel want to swim, Scala laughed until she held onto her aching stomach.

"Let's go swimming in the back, and I'll tell Mom." The scale stopped laughing.

"You, not Juli, why the hell did you know me?!"

Dug'

I was annoyed at being laughed at twice. Aurel kicked off Scale's shin and re-entered the room.

The scale smiled, "Then the windpipe again, not all of you, not me."

***

In the morning, Scales frowned to find Aurel had not come to the dinner table for breakfast as usual. It was 6 hours and 15 minutes. That is, it is noon.

Impatiently, Scale knocked on Aurel's room door, "Rel, it's noon."

Silent...

"Rel...?" The scale opens the door and is empty. No Aurel, it's even neat. "gener-real..." How ggeyel he is. It must be now almost to the house of Damar, otherwise it will be prevented from harm.

The scale ignores her morning breakfast to catch up with Aurel. Just this time he acted like that, usually he loved his body very much.

If it's really there, Skala will scold Aurel, just look.

On the other hand, Aurel had just come down from the angkot passing by his alley. After painstakingly escaping through the bedroom window because the door was locked Scale, he had to manage to get the info. At least before the scale came.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mr.. This is Aurel."

He already knew that Damar would not answer the greetings. It's habitual. Finally he ventured inside while removing the broken bottle of liquor from his path.

Aurel turns back when Damar is with another woman. He closed his eyes tightly.

"WHO'S FATHER?! HOW COME YOU'RE HERE?!"

Damar who just fell asleep immediately jumped to see the arrival of his son. "Eh, you fucking son of a bitch! Why are you here again! Sono lo porotin used to be your girlfriend's treasure, if you can bring it here!"

"WHO ARE YOU? HOW WAS IT AT DAD'S HOUSE?" Aurel glared while raising her voice.

Damar just this time destroyed his calm atmosphere. "Lo brisik really? Usually also diem doang, you'll usually see I bring a girl here." Damar clutching the collar of his own son's shirt. "lo go gih, than here why...gurus your mother who is not useful?"

Aurel closed his eyes and felt de javu with what Damar was doing now.

Just like what he had experienced back then, which Aurel knew now, Damar hated him so much.

Brak's'

"Sir Damar! Take off your hands now!" The scale came and could not bear to see Aurel suffocating like that.

Damar throws Aurel so easily that the girl's body hits the table and her palm is injured by a broken glass bottle.

*

Aurel silently occasionally wiped her tears with her sleeves as both of her palms were bandaged as she reached the branch clinic where dr. Alatas works in addition to RSUD.

"Where? Kapok came there?"

"I didn't get any info. See the Father again with another woman."

The scale breathed. He turned back to the office. Why go to school if his hands can't write until the bandage is opened.

The scale since then had only been silent and walked out on Aurel who was bowing deeply.

"You wait here, don't come out. I have a meeting."

"No."

Aurel nodded in understanding. He had to tell Ghaisan that he could not attend school on the grounds of illness rather than write A in the absentee book.

Aurel was crying again. He had no idea why Damar hated him so much. But his crying stopped when he caught a strange sentence from Damar which essentially he was silent even though he knew Damar brought another woman home? Was he that bad before? Ghaisan also said that he never talked to anyone except Bintang and Nabila.

Why was he so arrogant?

Why didn't he talk to anyone?

Why is he the one who used to be so bad in people's eyes?

"You should have been diem! Why do you ngadu everything!"

"Gue's tired like this, it's better for everything to go out, than for me to play in front of you!"

"Temen don't know you're lucky!"

His ears were ringing again. Who was she talking to at the time? Margot? The star? or someone else?

Aurel opened the window curtain. He was surprised to find the crowd outside shouting at someone above. As Aurel looked up, he was even more surprised that there had been a suicide attempt.

Without the ba-bi-bu Aurel ignored the Scales command and went upstairs in the elevator alone while everything was quiet.

*

"I'm sorry, I checked outside for a minute." The scale could not concentrate on continuing the meeting because of the noise outside his office. He saw people pointing up and shouting. He looked up and saw too.

"Sorry, the meeting is postponed, I'll call you later."

The scale goes to his room to make sure Aurel is still there but nil. As usual, he must be heading for the rooftop.

Damnit.

***

Aurel stopped impromptu because there was a hand that was holding on the rooftop barrier. He adjusted his breathing and approached slowly and held the woman's hand.

"Let's ride!" Aurel yelled at him. He also tried to hold his body leaning forward so as not to fall.

"Why do I do it?!"

"You are young! Don't waste it like this, dong!"

"Gue is not accepted everywhere! Why am I alive!"

Aurel was already sweating because her hands were aching holding her back. It just so happened that there was a Scale that helped him, but his gaze seemed to dislike. Just ignore it, the most important thing now is his life.

"Good now!!" The scale ruled while pulling his body upwards.

"The scale?"

Aurel turned to the two who seemed to know each other. Accidentally Aurel loosened his grip until the Scale shouted, "Aurel, don't let go!"

Aurel pulled him back up as hard as he could. After successfully bringing her up, she hugged Scales.

Aurel stayed in place, confused as to what to do.

"You're gapapa?" ask Scales without returning her embrace. With the sweaty globules continuously dripping down, the Scale regulated his disordered breathing.

He shook his head, "I'm confused, Scales... I can't handle them.."

Aurel approaches them, "I'm going home first, you have Juli's appointment, right?" He smiled inexplicably.

The scale shook, "Put here." He glanced at Aurel's hand whose bandage was wet with blood and pus because it was rubbed against gauze. "replace the bandage first."

Aurel shook his head, "I'll change myself."

"Skala, who is this?" The woman pointed at Aurel. "your cement?" ask again.

The scale has not been answered yet because Aurel chose to just leave. He turned to his high school friend, "You crazy huh? Why would you jump?"

"I really want to see the scenery, but it's slippery because it's slippery."

The scale rubbed his face in frustration.

"But I intend to jump because there is no hope. But right I'm the limiter deck, floppiness. Sorry, Scal."

"Go home now. Don't think so again."

***

There is no purpose other than the Hospital where Aurel fell into a coma and woke up. Aurel had to ask Alatas as his doctor to confirm what he saw and what he remembered.

"Let's ride!"

When Aurel said so. He got a random shadow about himself who was holding a barrier as well but underneath there was a river whose flow was calm.

He saw the face of Nabila and his friends who were laughing at him because he was silent when bullied.

"No, it's not between us."

Words that pierced the recesses of his heart. Aurel was silent at the time because he had no one but Nabila and Bintang.

Even the Star was not there for him for the umpteenth time.

Everything was... Aurel remembered.

He even remembered the face of the man who saved him. Scaling.

He remembered who his classmates were. July, Ghaisan, and Fina.

Aurel looked up at the ICU writing there. His memories one by one are back.

"Lho's? Aurel, what's here?" dr. Alatas who is on guard duty in the ICU accidentally passed by and saw Aurel.

Aurel smiled, "Can you please change my bandage?" He raised his hand.

dr. Alatas is surprised and invites Aurel to sit down, "You wait here, I take the P3K box first."

Shortly thereafter dr. Alatas returns to replace Aurel's bandage.

"Now, I haven't been here for 2 weeks?"

dr. Alatas looked at Aurel doubtfully, "Don't remember me anyway. Why?"

"Can't I get everything in 2 weeks?"

dr. Alatas saves the red medicine and gauze back to the P3K box, "Depending on how strong your memory is."

Aurel is relieved now. "I..muse myself?"

Silent.

dr. Alatas looked at Aurel who had just asked. "You...remember that?"

Aurel smiled for quite a while, then shook his head, "No. I'm just wondering, 'cause I was in Skala's office, somebody was gonna fall off the rooftop."

"How's crus?"

"He's a selametin Scale."

"Good." For the second time the Scale saved the man who was about to die in vain. "it's done, you can go home. Next time be careful, don't get hurt."

Aurel just nodded.

"I'm sorry, there's a patient."

Just 3 steps away, dr. Alatas stopped suddenly because Aurel said, "For the second time the scale of women's sleep. Right, right?"

dr. Alatas was surprised to turn around looking at Aurel whose eyes were glazed over. "So— you?"

Aurel approached him again, "Thank you, Doc, I'm waiting for you to wake up."

"Your language is more raw now. Whoa," dr. Alatas is so upset this way.

"But I'm asking for something."

"What?"
