Dusk Rainbow

Wedding preparations

Devan opens the front door. He ran towards Raisya who was in the arms of Mama Aya.

"Why old brother once," rebuked Raisya, a fifteen-minute promise, but up to thirty new minutes arrived. It made Raisya even more upset.

"Sorry baby, it's jammed." Devan gave a gentle kiss on Raisya's forehead.

"Don't lie!" Raisya grabs the bag of crackle that hangs in Devan's hand, he opens it and immediately bites the mango.

"I can't wait for you, there's sap later your lips itch." Devan sat down and grabbed a tissue. He cleansed Raisya's lips.

Mama Aya went straight to the back to pick up the knife and wash some of the mangos that were still intact.

"Who's the old one, our son is already crying," said spoiled Raisya.

"Yes, I'm sorry, where's David and dad?" tanya Devan spread her gaze towards the middle room.

"They took care of David's wedding preparations. Mahesh's father said he was told to marry all of you, so Naimah can't run away anymore."

Devan flicked his finger, "That's a good idea, Ma. But where's the wedding?" ask Devan.

Mama Aya returned with mangoes that had been peeled and ready to eat.

"At Naimah's house, for tonight David will sleep there, tomorrow will pilgrimage to the tomb of Naimah's husband, after that to the tomb of Arum's mother and others."

"Who's coming?"  Devan feeds Raisya a piece of mango.

"Father you two, the twins, the ruler, Nanda, the Great Doctor, Mother Sesil and Mother Sabrina, if you are in charge of guarding Raisya because she is pregnant young, pity if exposed to the night air. Afif didn't come either, he's nemenin Syakila at home."

Devan mangosteen understood and immediately grinned after feeling the acid of the fruit he tasted.

"Sister, this was bought at a store near the hospital, right?"

"Yes, but his mother doesn't want money."

Raisya stopped her chewing and stared fixedly at Devan. 

"Bu Hasna is like that, I guess if the brother who bought it wants to, but it turns out the same."

"He also nitip greetings to you, may you and our baby be healthy."

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Late at night, after Isya's prayer, Naimah laid her body beside Susan. He could not close his eyes thinking about Raisya's family. He kept staring at the burning incandescent on the wall. Switch cabinets made of wood and then the ceiling of his room that has been weathered.

Tomorrow I have to find a job, maybe in the front shop someone needs a maid.

Naimah tilted her body and grabbed onto Susan's tiny body, providing warmth for the boy.

Naimah closed her eyes as the drowsiness began to strike. However, his eyes opened again when he heard the sound of a car stopping in front of his house.

Naimah pulled her blanket and the more her embrace tightened, she grabbed Susan and closed her eyes again.

O Allah, protect me and my son, Naimah prayed in his heart. 

"Assynoltom…. "

After the sound of the car stopped, now switch the sound of greetings that echoed. Naimah simply answered inwardly without wanting to go down, her chest rumbling, her heart rhythmically faster, during her stay in the house, this was the first time anyone had come to her house at night.

The sound of greeting reverberated for the second time, forced Naimah to get out of her bed. He tidied his hijab and took the broom that was on his doorstep.

There was a noise from the terrace of his house, he walked quietly approaching the front window.

If it's true that the robbers are coming, they're blind. What to take from an ugly house like this, no valuables.

Before opening the window curtain, Naimah stared at her broken belongings.

There was no sound of greeting anymore, but the voices of the people talking were still adorning his ears until Naimah opened the curtain quietly, one hand holding the handle of the broom and alert.

The first time Naimah stared at the three cars lined up neatly in the courtyard. After that he looked at David who was standing right in front of the window.

That's David, from where he knows my house, then what his purpose is to come here, why bring the crowd.

Naimah looked towards the living room, the chair was not worth sitting on, but she still had some blue plastic chairs.

Naimah ran to the back and took her seat, she did not heed the sound of knocking that kept on leaning.

Naimah threw her broom and opened the door.

How shocked he was when he saw some people standing there.

"Mother, David, Dad." Naimah's mouth was locked, she could not ask anything when she saw Mahesa's father and Randu's father and the others.

Mother Sabrina and Mother Sesil hugged Naimah in turn and asked her how she was doing.

"Son't let us in?" My feet itch with mosquitoes" Daffa lamented as he scratched his flushed hands.

"I.iya please come in." Naimah shifted her body giving way to everything.

David's eyes swept through the front room, then stared at the door of the room made of plywood.

"So soon, I'll get you a drink."

"No need" Mahesa's father said, he moved to the next chair and gave the twins a place.

David could only stand by Naimah's side because there was no place anymore.

"Where is it?" ask David.

"He sleeps in the room, Mom."

"That one?"  David pointed at the door behind Naimah.

Naimah nodded silently. 

David opened the door of the room that sounded

Kreeekkkk

The twins held back a laugh, he did not want Naimah to be offended.

Mother continues to glare to code her two sons to maintain attitude.

David approached the bed and sat on the edge, rubbing Susan's forehead and kissing her.

"Tomorrow you will live in a more decent house" he said slowly.

Naimah is confused and chooses to enter following David.

"Mas, who's sitting in that corner? Your brother too?" tanya Naimah approached David and pegged in front of him.

David smiled, "He's the one who will marry us."

Naimah laughed, pulled up Susan's little chair and sat down in front of David.

"Don't joke, Mum!"

"I'm not kidding, it's serious. Tonight we're getting married."

"A I __"

Shhsttt…. David put his finger on his lips.

"No need to argue and talk again, anyway tonight we are married, and tomorrow we will stay at home alone, you do not hear the words of others who want to disturb our lives. I know everything, now you're ready!"

David came out for a while and went in and gave Naimah a paper bag.

"Wear this, tonight we're just getting married, to celebrate next month." 

Naimah accepted it without saying anything, she could not refuse it any more, if this was the second for her, this was the first for David and would definitely be celebrated given their very wealthy family.

Braaakkkk

An outside voice unravels Naimah's intention to open her hijab. He opens the door and goes out.

"Inna lillahi wainna ilaihi rojiun."

Naimah approached Daffa and Daffi who had fallen because the seat had collapsed.
