I Found Love At the End of the Dusk

The Heart of Sam

"I smiled sweetly at Sam who now held out a rice packet and commented, "Thank you" I said.

Sam did not answer my words, he just smiled sweetly at me, the motor was back at moderate speed, this time Sam drove in the direction where my house was. But before we got home, Sam stopped at a park not far from my house.

"Where else are we going, Sam?" my question while frowning confused by what Sam is doing at the moment, he looks confused and agitated while occasionally looking at me.

"There's something I want to talk to you about, can we talk first?" sam replied that this time showed a sad face that was clearly drawn on his face.

"What's up, Sam? is there a problem?" I was wondering what Sam wanted to talk about.

"We're talking in the right place."Sam answered back, but not the answer I wanted.

"Where else are we going? not talking here or at home is the same, too," said I who felt that if it was too late to go home, I had to go home before Mother could not find my whereabouts.

"There's something very important I want to say, so come first!" Sam seemed so clumsy that he wanted to take me away and I could no longer refuse after seeing Sam's sad face.

"Well," giving up already, I chose to give in and follow what Sam asked for without arguing again.

"Senja," said Sam who still had a sad face staring at me.

"Yes, what's wrong? do you have a problem?" sahut Dusk is now increasingly curious about the strange attitude shown by Sam.

"No, I don't have a problem, I just want to say what's been in my heart for a long time" said Sam, who was quite surprised and confused.

"What do you mean Sam?" I'm more confused by what Sam said.

"Since the first time we met, I've felt something different in me, I've fallen in love at first sight with you, Dusk," replied Sam.

"You don't joke Sam! are you currently making prabu? or are you following up on content like everyone else?" I asked with a surprised look on my face I asked.

"I'm seriously twilight, I'm not joking and I'm not creating content, everything I say is sincere and honest from my heart" he explained.

I could only be silent with widened eyes and a straight forward gaze, I really didn't expect Sam to say that, since many years ago Sam has never said anything serious like this, even though he has said the same thing several times, but he always joked when saying it, that's why I thought that Sam was just teasing me.

"Senja, do you want to accept me to be your lover? or even accept me as your life partner?" Sam asked me again and the question he asked surprised me even more.

"Can you give me time to answer?" my impossible door could answer Sam's question right then and there.

"I will always wait for your answer, Dusk, I hope you don't hang on to my feelings too long, and I also hope that you can accept me with a sincere heart," sam said with a face full of hope. He said everything I felt was in his heart.

"Yes, I will try to answer your heart immediately" answered me, who did not want to see Sam continue to put a hopeful face before me.

A moment of silence and turned awkward, until I finally invited Sam home because I felt he could not stand what happened anymore.

"Sam, can we go home now? I'm afraid Mom's waiting for me" I said, trying to take Sam home and avoid the awkward atmosphere that is now starting to feel.

"Thank you" he said shortly after getting off the bike, thankfully, I wasn't outside, if she's outside then I can confirm that Mom will ask Sam to stop by first.

"Sama-sama," said Sam who is now just acting ordinary, as if nothing happened between us, even though I am still shocked by what he said.

Sam drove his bike back out of my yard, and I was walking in and looking for Mom.

"Assalamualaikum," he said, knocking slowly on the door of the house that looks outdated.

"Greetings, wait a minute!" said Mother I know for sure if at this time he is trying to walk faster than usual.

I kept waiting for Mom to open the door, long enough I stood up while continuing to ask her exactly what Mom did to make me wait a long time just to wait for Mom to open the door.

"Where's mom from?" ask for a moment after seeing Mother who is now standing in front of the door with a handle that looks wet.

"Mom just washed some dirty dishes in the kitchen," Mother replied with a smile that indicated she was fine.

"Why do you have to wash dishes? should've let it go, I'd have cleaned everything up, Mom," I said.

"Here you go, you're saturated in the house without any activity, besides that sick Mother's feet are not hands," Mom tried to defend herself so I wouldn't reveal any more of the protests that are now lodged in my brain.

"This mother has a package of Messages for you" I said while giving a packet of rice that had been ordered by Sam before returning home.

"What is this package?" mother asked shortly after receiving the parcel that I offered earlier.

"That's food from Sam" I replied as I continued to step into the room.

I'm used to getting food from Sam, which is why he just kept quiet and took his food to the dining room, usually I'll say thank you when I meet Sam tomorrow.

What Sam said was still ringing in my head, I really didn't expect Sam to have more feelings than friends, I really don't think what Sam has been saying is a genuine feeling in his heart.

All this time I was thinking if what was revealed by Sam all this time was just joking and meaningless. But my mind was wrong, it turns out that what Sam said was sincere and honesty that he had been hiding.

Drrrrrrtt ddrrrttt dddrrrttt ....

Shaking my phone heard echoing in my room, teasing myself who had just finished facing the Creator, complaining about all the things that were plaguing my life all day.

"Who bothered me last night,?" lirihku while walking closer to the cellphone that had been lying helplessly on the nightstand near the bed mattress.

"Whose number is this?" when I saw the contact number I had never saved listed as a caller on my phone, he also made a video call.

I was hesitant and hesitant not to lift it, until I realized that the profile picture that called it was frozen, which means the owner of the number is not an adult but a child.

With doubt still in my heart, I began to lift the call.
