I Found Love At the End of the Dusk

Acceptable

"There's nothing Mbok" I replied.

I can't tell you the truth if we are currently fussing over the money that will be given to Mbok Min in return for Mbok Min was already massaging me.

"Then we'll excuse you, Mbok," said my father who immediately took Sam's arm standing next to me so that he also came out of Mbok Min's house.

"Be careful, son!" mbok Min's message when he saw me go out of the house with Sam who just silently followed my steps.

"Yes, Mbok," I replied briefly as I continued to step out and climb onto the beautiful parked motorcycle in front of Mbok Min's house.

"Can we stop at the park usually, Sam?" I asked when we were on the road.

"Of course, I'll do whatever you want" Sam replied with a smile that was now expanding on his face.

I could only stare at the streets while steadying myself with what I was about to say in a moment.

The motor continued to split the highway until we arrived at the park not far from where I live, Sam stopped his motorbike right in front of the park.

"What do you want to talk about?" Sam seemed so curious as to what I was trying to say, he looked so enthusiastic.

"Down first. I just said everything!" I replied, at this time Sam is still on the bike, instead of going down he was sitting there. I was walking into the park and gestured for Sam to follow me.

Seeing me continue to walk inevitably Sam had to walk until we arrived at a seat that was not far from where Sam put his bike.

"What do you want to say, Dusk?" Sam again asked, this time he looked at me intently as if he wanted to find out what I really wanted to say.

"Did you remember? in this place you express your heart" I said.

"Of course I still remember, and I'll never forget what happened back then" Sam replied with a puffed-up smile on his face.

"I'll say the answer to the statement you made that day, right where you said it," I thought long enough about everything that had happened, choosing to answer everything Sam said back then, stalling could never change anything, I will stay in the shackles where I have to keep thinking about what answers I will give.

Hearing my words that would answer the expression of his heart made Sam more enthusiastic, he looked at me more and more closely with a hopeful facial expression that was clearly visible on his face.

"Say Dusk! do you want to accept me or do you just want to be my best friend?" ask Sam.

"Before I answer my question, I want to ask you first, will your family accept this nobody of me?" my question is a little hesitant to accept Sam, not because I am not sure of the feelings he has, but I am worried that his family cannot accept me who does have a very different caste, Sam is famous for being rich and handsome in regret, while I am just an orphan who lives full of misery with my mother.

"Never look down on yourself twilight! I've seen someone of the social status they have, to me everyone is the same, who distinguishes only the attitudes and traits they have, he said, I love you not because of possessions or anything related to the world, I love you because my heart chose you to be my friend, I want it not because of lust, I love you, but I wanted to have it because the love and affection in my heart deepened and I couldn't stand it anymore" Sam explained all the reasons why he expected me to be his life partner.

I immediately lowered my head to hear all his confessions, my heart that was

it beats a little faster than usual now it beats a lot faster, there is shame and happiness tucked in the heart, Sam does look very sweet at the moment and I like that.

"How's Dusk? do you want to accept me?" asked Sam and I who were unable to speak anymore could only nod slowly in response.

"Alhamdulillah, finally after all these years I struggled and waited now I could really have my weapon" Sam said, hugging me tightly, it was on his face that happiness I had never seen before.

But don't be happy, Sam!" I stopped what Sam was doing because there was one more thing I had to tell him.

"What's wrong?" spontaneous Sam.

"Even though I have accepted you, or even married you, I have one request that I hope you can fulfill," I said what is holding my heart in this moment.

"I want to keep working even if we're married, and I want us to stay at my house, can you afford Sam?" I said what stuck in my heart.

And Sam stared fixedly at me after I said everything.

"I will still allow work even though we are married, but if someday you are pregnant and your circumstances do not allow to work, then I will forbid you, will you be able to Dusk?" Dam answered my question with a question that I think is natural, anyone would forbid his wife to work while pregnant, what else if the pregnancy is problematic.

"Well, I'll stop working if I'm pregnant and not able to do my job, or if it harms the foetus I'm carrying," a request that I think still makes sense and I can still accept it.

"To stay at your house, I'm sorry, I can't, but if you ask me to stay there at least once a week to see Mom's situation, I'll definitely agree, Dusk, please, I'm also the only child of both of my parents, I hope you understand that my parents can't just let me go" Sam answered and told me why he refused my second request.

I'm trying to digest and understand what Sam just said, and what Sam said still makes sense and I can take it.

"Alright, I'll accept you Sam," I replied steadily.

"What does that mean now that we're lovers?" Sam reassured himself once again that I had accepted Sam as his girlfriend.

"Yes" I replied briefly.

"Finally," exclaimed Sam who hugged me back very tightly.

"Don't get too tight Sam! do you know," complained I was uncomfortable with Sam's too tight embrace.

"I'm sorry, I'm too happy to hear what you're saying, which is why I'm hugging me too tightly" he said, smiling straight at me.

"It's okay, I understand" said I, who now returned Sam's smile.

"I'll change the current call, and from today on I'll call you Dear, thank you so much, my dear" said Sam, still smiling happily to me, I just smiled back at his smile.

"Can we go home now? I must have been waiting for you since," I said.

"Of course, I will take you wherever you want, from now on, Sam officially belongs to Dusk," said Sam girang.

"Let's go home!" he continued, grabbing my hand and clasping my finger, taking me out of the park to a beautiful parked motorcycle by the roadside.

What a beautiful afternoon, I was able to get the love I never expected before.

"Where else are we going, Sam?" ask me when the speed of the motor is getting slower.

"We buy martabak first." Answer Sam.

"For what?" I asked back.

"I want to eat martabak with Mom and you" Sam explained the reason he bought martabak, and I just kept quiet no longer to answer Sam's words.

In accordance with what Sam wanted, the motorbike stopped right in front of the martabak seller and three servings of martabak purchased by Sam.

"Why so much, Sam?" my question is to feel if three servings of martabak is too much for him.

"One serving for one person, isn't that natural?" the answer is enough to make me silent without a word, quite a version of the crowd with the version of people with mediocre money is very different.

I did feel good about getting Sam as my lover, but on the other hand there was a sense of worry that slipped in my heart, all those worries came about because our caste was different, he's a rich man and I'm an ordinary man, but the one who has accepted Sam as his lover can only hope that his family will accept me and this relationship will continue to last until death separates.
