15. Move On

Bayan scoured the floor without flinching. His face was covered in tears. It seems that Bayan was devastated given the tragic passing of Dusk.

Beside him, Karto still stood by. He also suffered with Bayan because of the loss of his son and wife due to the curse.

" Mas Bayan, do not gradually dissolve in sadness. Dusk asked me to take care of Mas Bayan. He must be sad if Mas Bayan is rich in gini," said Karto sadly.

" It's too sudden sir" Bayan whimpered as he clutched the last shirt of Dusk.

" I know, but don't get rich. It's been three days. Mas Bayan has not come home, later everyone is confused nyariin," said Karto again.

" Why go home ?. There was no twilight there, no wife. Who am I going home for, sir?!" tanya Bayan made Karto speechless.

" Assalamualaikum" said Kyai Mustafa from the doorway.

" Wa alaikumsalam, let Mr. Kyai please come in," Karto said.

Kyai Mustafa sat looking at Bayan who seemed indifferent to his presence. Kyai Mustafa patted Bayan's back gently and asked Bayan to drink and wudhu with water that he had ruqyah.

Bayan obeyed the teacher's orders. After drinking and ablution, Bayan went back to his teacher. As if just realized by the presence of Kyai Mustafa, Bayan approached the teacher and kissed the back of his hand with reverence.

" How are you doing Kyai?" sapa Bayan manners.

" Thank God be good. You alone, how ?" ask Kyai Mustafa.

" I'm still a bit of a shock Kyai, my wife left in an unusual way, I ...," Bayan's eyes again glazed over.

" Ilasikan them Bayan. They are in the best place by God. Dusk is a great man. He sacrificed himself to save humanity from the evil of the devil. And he also did not want his son to be the successor of the devil. Be proud to be her husband, the husband of a great woman. As a form of affection, pray for Dusk and your baby because that's what they need now" Kyai Mustafa said.

Bayan listened to Kyai Mustafa's words seriously as he continued to rub his wet eyes.

" Prove to the world that you can survive. Continue your life. Marry a good woman again. Don't waste your precious life crying over them constantly. Dusk and your baby will not like to see you like this" Kyai Mustafa said at the end of her advice.

At that time Bayan hesitated to be able to find love after the departure of Dusk. But all of that was kept in his heart.

The bayan rests beside the mound where the last clothes of Dusk are buried.

She buried the clothes as if burying Dusk and the baby with all their happy memories.

Tears soaked Bayan's cheeks that looked pale. Bayan did choose not to tell the real facts about Dusk to his friends and servants. Bayan keeps everything tight. He only said that Dusk died of a miscarriage, and his body was buried in the farm.

Everyone is grieving. No one was suspicious of the departure of the newly announced Dusk a week later. They said condolences to Bayan,

including Rama and Riko.

" Dusk Twilight, do not expect the life of Lo ga long. But honestly I can know the tough girl rich Lo," muttered Rama while staring at the tomb twilight with a sad look.

" Yes, I don't think a great girl like Dusk ended up losing the same fate," said Riko.

Bayan was silent to the words of his two best friends. The tears streaming down her face seemed to adequately describe her endless sadness.

Bayan is seen lying on the bed while remembering his friendship with Dusk on the last night before the wife left.

The fragrance of the body of Dusk was still left in the room. His powerful voice continued to ring in his ears, and the spoiled attitude of Dusk as it wanted to fulfill its final obligation continued to dance in his mind. All those memories made Bayan cry again.

After saying that Bayan stepped out of the room full of memories.

That day was the last day Material stayed at his memorial house with Dusk. Bayan decided to move out of the house because he wanted to continue his life. Bayan also asked Karto to stay there as well as take care of the house. Karto agreed and brought his wife's son to live in the house.

During this time Karto's wife and children never knew the story of Karto's past, including his relationship with Dusk. Karto never told stories because he did not want to burden them with stories that he wanted to close tightly.

Ten years later.

There's a garden party at the Bayan family's farm. A garden party was held to celebrate Bayan's three-year-old son. The result of his marriage to Anna, the woman of Bayan's parents' choice.

Previously, Rama and Riko also aggressively sought a partner for Bayan. But Bayan always refused because it is still difficult to move on from Dusk.

But Bayan changes his mind when he is reunited with Anna who is simple, polite and beautiful. And Bayan agreed to marry Anna immediately.

Bayan was stunned when he saw Anna smile. Just then he saw sincerity in Anna's smile. And he's sure he can move on from his past if he's with Anna.

" I've been married, my wife died with our baby. So I'm a widower, do you want to marry a widower, while you're still Anna's girl?" ask Bayan carefully.

" Bayan sister don't worry. I don't care about your status or your past. If you want to move forward, you have to look forward, not backward. And I want to marry Sister Bayan" said Anna shyly to make Bayan smile happily.

Bayan also married Anna with a party that is no less festive than the party when marrying Dusk. Karto who witnessed the marriage of Bayan and Anna was also happy to see her daughter-in-law and her employer was happy.

Bayan's marriage was perfect with their first child. A healthy and handsome boy, born when Bayan and Anna married for one year.

Anna and Dusk are two different women who fill Bayan's heart. But for Bayan they are fairies who bring love and happiness into his life.

Bayan still often visits the farm for pilgrimages to the 'tomb' of Dusk with his small family. Even their son Nathan also called Dusk 'Mama Dusk' as taught by Anna. Of course it makes Bayan moved and proud because Anna educates their son well.

" Here's the birthday, get ready to blow the candles yaaa!" the MC said loudly to call Nathan.

Nathan came forward with his father and mother. She looks shy but adorable.

After successfully blowing out the candles on a tart, Nathan asks Bayan to hold him to meet the clown near the dish table. Bayan also carried Nathan and brought him to the clown who was mobbed by the children.

" Not this one Dad, but a clown whose head runs sideways," whined Nathan to make Ingredients surprised instead of dumbass.

" His head runs itself ?" repeat Bayan while looking around him with a vigilant attitude.

"Yes" Nathan said as he began to cry.

Bayan panics and tries to comfort Nathan. He then held his wife who was pregnant with their second child.

" What's the matter Well?, freelance, shame many guests," Anna said as she gently brushed Bayan's hand over her shoulder.

" Mother don't be far from Dad, yes" pinta Bayan with a serious face mimic.

" Yes, anyways where can Mother be far away from Father," joked Anna with a smile.

Bayan clucked when he heard the wife's answer. Then Bayan looked straight at the sky. He narrowed both his eyes as he saw a disembodied head swiftly flashed up there.

I don't know why Bayan seemed to see Dusk smiling sweetly towards him. Bayan's heart is pounding. He was sure if the head without a body was Dusk who also smiled happily to see himself happy.
