Dusk, tread the path. Alone alone, the most comfortable feeling. Reaping hope and hope.
The hope that soon extinct, the decision of the mother who has betrothed to a man who is not a lover of the heart, how can it be possible to live together in marriage without love.
"I'm not love, I love Jaka". Inflamed twilight.
"Mother just wants to marry you to Asep". Ketus mom say.
"Good boy, good offspring, rich children, later your life will not be difficult like a mother, enough difficult mothers". Mother gives views and opinions. "Household is not about love, we need to eat, shop, house and household enough". Mother poured out her love. " Look at the mother, look at the twilight mother.The household has been twenty years with what father the mother has. Let alone a piece of land, the house is still contracted, you want to live hard."
Burning mother
"What Jaka had, the young man from the village of the goat herder".
******
Mother's words ring in the ears of Dusk, sad it feels.
Jaka was only a goat herder, a goat belonging to Jahid's master, Asep's father. Asep was betrothed to dusk by his mother without the knowledge of Dusk.
Jaka son who is Sholeh, never leave the obligatory prayers that are five times and the prayers of rawatib, tahajud, Dhuha every day. Sunnat fasting Monday Thursday getol done Jaka. Obedience and obedience to his parents, friends, neighbors are always good, never persecuted and wronged against others.
"Silence rather than wrong speech, because many are hurt by speech, can be years of pain because speech is always ringing and difficult to treat". So Jaka's principle.
Dzikir and Istighfar always talk about his mouth. Love for Dusk Jaka bestows upon Allah, as the Kholiq, the owner of the universe.
With his good attitude and personality Jaka life is simple.
*****
But Ruminah's mother, did not see Jaka's kesholean, as a mother who did not want Dusk languish in marriage.
"Sholeh is not enough". "You eat the same love, can be satiated with only love, not twilight. Dusk listened with a bow.
Love can follow after you get married, gradually love can grow". Bu Ruminah assures that love can come after marriage.
Dusk still did not accept the reality, even though Asep was already her husband. Still thinking of Jaka. The goat and its reeds are still attached to the memory of Dusk.
Gradually Jaka's marriage was heard in the ears of Dusk, Jaka's choice woman named Melati, a neighboring village girl.
Melati instantly falls in love when she sees Jaka and her personality.
Shamefully Melati asks her father to make Jaka her husband.
After his father found out about Jaka, Melati's father did not hesitate to invite Jaka to his house, Jaka who did not know that Dirman had a daughter did not think long.
A beautiful afternoon, Jaka visited the house of Mr. Dirman, the owner of the goat who had been shepherded by Jaka.
Goats pack Dirman a lot, besides also pack Dirman chicken breeder eggs. Don't ask how much wealth Mr. Dirman.
Before Eid al-Adha, or the Qurban feast of the bestselling Dirman pak shepherds, many customers were satisfied with the quality of the goats on the farm, in certain months of the aqiqah/goat/tasyakuran lahiran and wedding ceremony and circumcision of the goat pak Dirman be an option.
"Although expensive but appropriate". Said one of the customers.
"Jaka already had a mooring of hearts, or a future wife", without further ado Mr. Dirman asked Jaka after letting in.
Jaka's like a sickle in court at the green table. Quiet wave.
"Mmmmhh... Not yet sir". Jaka's smile that was giving peace to himself.
"Ooh yeah, please have a drink". Dilute atmosphere.
"Yes sir, thank you very much sir". Jaka's beards then took a glass containing tea water in front of him.
"Kue please also in the tasting". Ms. Dirman who had just come out after hearing the chat of her husband and Jaka, apparently Bu Dirman listened from the room next to the chat between the two.
"match". Ms. Dirman held Naira's hand with a smile.
******
*Naira, what a fortune she has, has a husband Sholeh, and Jaka is also lucky to have a rich wife". Dusk stared at the ceiling in his quiet room, after being divorced and persecuted by Asep. Dusk chose divorce and chose to live in rented.
Rent a house with one room, living room, bathroom, and a narrow yard, enough for motorcycle parking. Simple, a fence made of bamboo becomes a resting place of Dusk.
Ruminah's mother regretted her actions that had betrothed her son to Asep because of wealth, without seeing Asep's character.
Dusk did not hate and was angry with his mother, because of what had happened to his life.
But the choice to live alone is more calm.
Contracts in the middle of Dusk are simple, but feel comfort. Compared to living in the magnificent house of Asep but his bath was tormented.
Every night Asep came home drunk, and smelled bad, Dusk often felt the heat of Asep's hand on the face of the gentle Dusk.
Asep's behavior because his parents are too pampering his life, the facilities are all filled never feel the hard work.
The wealth of parents became Asep's shield to do arbitrarily.
Only surviving three years of twilight survives one day Asep can change, but it is not easy, not as easy as turning the palm of the hand.
Farewell became the choice of Dusk, from there batinknya tormented every night. Not only that was the treatment of the mother-in-law of Dusk who always defended Asep's behavior.
"You as a wife don't becus, ngurusin husband". What a cruel speech by the mother-in-law of Dusk.
"Lajar Asep is immoral, uncivilized. Mom always defends you". Dusk was angry because he could not stand the treatment of Asep and his mother, who considered him a housekeeper. Not a son-in-law and child who must be cared for, cared for and cared for his feelings.
...****************...
The twilight of life, being a young widow was never imagined before, she shut herself and closed her heart tightly to men.
"That's enough, let alone Jaka getting married. Be happy". Murmured Dusk, who sometimes still expects the presence of Jaka even though briefly, cursory or passing in front of him.
Just for a moment, please. This longing still feels hot in the heart. But it is only imagination, no doubt a person who is expected not to come to attend, just to greet the news or give a knotty smile for him to survive, in the midst of bitter life.
Ruminah's mother felt compassion for the fate of her only child, who was expected to bring happiness. But it was wrong, the estimate missed one hundred and nine degrees.
Regretting brings suffering.
Lara at the end of the twilight.
Twilight ... forgive mom.
