Romance at Dusk

The Past of Ryota

The flashback

Germany, 8 years ago.

Ryota is happy to have completed his strata 1 education at the Technical University of Munich, one of the best engineering schools in the world. Ryota, who was raised as the sole heir to a major automotive company, decided to major in mechanical engineering in Germany. Germany was chosen because Germany is known to the world thanks to its technological advances. In addition, by wandering away from his family, he hopes to become a more resilient person when he replaces his father later.

At the beginning of the lecture felt so heavy for Ryota, as an only child who was all facilitated but now he had to be independent. Culture shock is also an additional problem. However, the difficulty begins to erode when he meets Sato Tsubaki. This beautiful woman who always wore a rosary necklace became a friend who always strengthened Ryota. Tsubaki majored in architectural engineering at the same campus as Ryota so she could help her grandmother's company in construction. Although different majors, but they live in the same apartment complex, so that the closer they are.

A year of friendship, the seeds of love began to emerge. Ryota and Tsubaki who only harbored the sense of finally officially love. Tsubaki expressed her feelings first.

"Ryota, Daisuki da (Ryota, I really like you)."

Ryota, who hears Tsubaki's confession, is happy because he feels reciprocated, and cemen because Tsubaki has to start first.

The intertwining of love stories for 3 years, colored full of happiness. Tsubaki is the perfect girl. She is very beautiful, academically smart and certainly smart to spoil Ryota's tongue with her cooking.

4 Years of education, now is the time of Ryota and Tsubaki graduation celebration. Ryota's parents fly to Germany to celebrate his son's graduation. And for Ryota today, it's certainly not just about graduation, but also that he wants to introduce Tsubaki to his parents.

Ryota clasps Tsubaki's hand and walks into the restaurant where she will celebrate graduation with her parents. A face full of smiles all the way.

"Ma.. Introduce this Tsubaki, Ryota's girlfriend," Mother Goddess Amerta and Mr Akira Hiroto welcomed Tsubaki's handwriting with a smile. However, Mother Goddess's smile was suddenly gloomy when she saw the rosary necklace that Tsubaki was wearing. Ryota and his Papa chatter, and occasionally Tsubaki chimed in with a smile. Madam Dewi just fell silent and did not enjoy this dinner. Ryota occasionally looked at his mother full of questions.

After dinner, Mama and Papa Ryota return home to her apartment, while Ryota takes Tsubaki to her unit first.

"Where is my mom?" ryota asked as she saw that only the father welcomed her arrival.

"There's in the room, ohya papa want to ask you," Papa Ryota then invites Ryota to sit on the sofa to discuss his wife's concerns.

"Are you serious about Tsubaki?" ask Hiroto San, papa Ryota.

"Seriously pa, why?" ask Ryota.

"Do you know what his beliefs are?" Hiroto San looked at his only son.

"Hmmm," Ryota sighed softly, he began to understand why his mother had only been silent for the entire dinner last night. Her mother strongly disagreed with the tangle of different love beliefs. For him the love of fellow men must not ignore God or even betray his God so as not to choose to change beliefs for the sake of the idol of the heart.

"Pa, didn't you also change your faith for mama's sake?" ryota's curious about her papa.

"Papa atheist long before you knew your mother, papa read many books about various beliefs until finally papa convinced with the beliefs of papa now, but papa still has not decided to embrace Islam. Until finally papa met your mother, from there papa more convinced with Islam and decided to convert. So it's not because your mommy chose this belief."

Ryota finally approached his mother who was currently sitting finished worshiping. I heard her mother's crying. Her mother asks God for guidance on what attitude she should give, she loves her son very much but on the other hand she does not want Ryota to be in love with someone who is different. Ryota slowly closed the door to his mother's room, then wiped away her tears.

"Pa, Ryo took a minute," Ryota was already unable to see her mother cry. To her the mother Goddess was her world. Ryota vividly recalls his grandparents' story that Ryota is an expensive baby, his parents doing a lot of things finally in the fifth year of marriage, the birth of Ryota which began with the process of tube babies is certainly not cheap. The struggle of his mother did not stop there, after Ryota was born, his mother was sentenced to be sick in the womb so that her uterus had to be removed, and this means that the Mother Goddess was no longer able to have children back. Since then Ryota does not want to disappoint his parents, his presence in this world is because of his two people.

Ryota walks on a gontai towards Tsubaki's unit. After Tsubaki opens her door, Ryota kneels before Tsubaki, crying and telling her that she wants to end the relationship. A confused Tsubaki finally asks Ryota to explain in more detail.

"I'm sorry Tsubaki, but we can't be together because of our different beliefs, sorry I, I really don't want to disappoint my parents," Tsubaki sat down and hugged Ryota.

"I understand Ta, from the beginning this feeling is indeed wrong Ta, maybe parents will also not be able to accept," Tsubaki increasingly sobbed, "Let's end this taste peacefully Ta, Ta, may you get someone better than me" Tsubaki began to take off her arms.

The two got up to their feet, "Tsubaki, I still don't want to part with you, but I have to," Ryota again sobbed.

"Go home, and tell your parents that we're done, our story's over Ta" Tsubaki encourages Ryota to leave the unit immediately.

Flashback off

"Tsubaki," Ryota shouted loudly in his sleep, then blinded his eyes slowly, "Ahh why do Tsubaki dream again," Ryota murmured.

Since severing ties with Tsubaki, Ryota decides to come home with his parents. He wanted to move on from Tsubaki immediately, so he began to concern himself with continuing his stratum 2 education in Tokyo while working in his father's company.

Thanks to her intelligence, she was able to complete her S2 education in just one year, with a cumlaude degree. Because later he will lead the company, eventually graduated from S2 Engineering, he continued his education S2 with a major in business to help him manage the company.

Busying himself with education and work is his way of forgetting Tsubaki. He became a figure that was getting flatter and cooler. At the age of 25, the shareholders finally entrusted themselves to become president director of Akira Otoparts, one of Akira's subsidiaries that produces vehicle spare parts.

Handsome face, intelligent brain, brilliant career, make the women start to approach him. However, he remained cold and had not been attracted to any woman, until his meeting with Dusk at the minimarket at that time made his heart begin to soften, but before his feelings got further he had to tell it first with his mother, if the blessing was in hand, then he immediately dared to step.

...----------------...

"Eh mother, we meet again," Dusk was shocked when he saw someone who became his travel companion on the plane yesterday.

"Who are you with, funny thing?" Bu Dewi pinches gaunt cheek puffed Kenan.

"It's my sister's son Mom, my Mom first yes," Dusk went to the cashier because now the queue had reached his part.

"Mari ma'am," Dusk said goodbye because he had finished paying.

"Bye, heart yes," said Miss Goddess and immediately she headed for the cashier.
