SHINE of My Love KAMELIA At the End of Dusk

BY DUSK

Since sharing a room, they look closer and romantic. Idris and Rahmah were so happy about it. But they keep thinking about what Agung said, Kamelia's father. However, the Great Speech has a point as well.

"Pa..." Rahmah came while stroking Idris' shoulder, which Idris was staring at the beach behind his house after Ashar.

"Hmmm... Yes, what's wrong, Ma..." Idris turned lethargic towards Rahmah.

"Papa why? Lately Mama noticed Papa often daydreaming? Is there a problem in the factory or on the plantation?" Grace so gently questioned her husband's situation.

"No, Ma... Papa was just thinking of the great speech at that time..." Idris turned his gaze back to the beach.

"Regard Toni?" Rahmah guessed. And he was so sure of his words. However, her husband maintained the estate of her late father-in-law. But she knew her husband would never hurt Tony.

"What do you think our mom should do?" Idris felt no need to answer the question of his wife who had guessed his feelings back then correctly.

"Although Toni was the biological father of her baby Kamelia. Mama will still love him like Mama's own granddaughter, Pa... Mama doesn't want to make any more mistakes with Kamelia. Because Mama knows, Kamelia's happiness is only in Kemil. Not only that, Pa... Kemil is like that too, right?.

Mama's never seen Kemil this happy before. Catch up and take responsibility like this." Rahmah clasped both hands of Idris trying to believe her husband.

"Broth... Ma..." Kemil suddenly came from the inside. It made both of his parents surprised and looked at him simultaneously.

"Candy." Idris cried with round eyes.

"Papa and Mama are here? Kemil's been looking for it." He said a little breathless.

"Yes... Why, honey?" Rahma tried to treat her child as casually as possible.

"Kemil wants permission to take Kamel for an afternoon walk Mah, Pah..." Kemil asked his parents for permission.

"Yes... Go awayl... But you have to be careful and try to get home before Maghrib." Idris said and Kemil acknowledged while nodding his head. He was so relieved that it seemed like Kemil was not listening to the conversation between him and his wife.

Since that night, Idris has been a little worried about letting Kamelia and Kemil out for the afternoon. Moreover, Toni already knew the pregnant woman whom Kemil married was Kamelia who was pregnant with her son Toni.

That afternoon the weather was so clear. On the western horizon there had been a hint of orange light that had sprung through the sky horizon at the end of the twilight.

"Almost every afternoon I just take you to this beach. Aren't you bored?" Kemil looked at Kamelia who was so enjoying the twilight atmosphere.

"No..." Kamelia said without looking at it. His eyes kept staring at the beautiful western horizon.

"Is that how you like it? Even looking that way is more important to you than staring at me who's been asking that question." Kemil Gulp.

"Oohs... So you're bored of the story?" Kemil pretended to be pouting at Kamelia's reply.

"Are you just jealous of the twilight sky?" Kamelia finally turned her face towards the scowling Kemil.

"How can't it? You love something bigger than you love me." He said still with a slightly irritated look made up.

"Then you want me to love you like what?" Kamelia looked at the astonished face of Kemil who was so childish because of his attitude.

"I want you to love me more than anything." Said Kemil while grinning.

"So you want me to love you more than I love Him who gave you for me?" Kamelia made Kemil's cheek feathers dim because of her question.

"Astaghfirullah's... Not so..." Said frightened.

"You want Him to be jealous and take back all that he has given us?" Kamelia further sharpened her question.

"Yes Allah... No. gabe... Not like that, baby..." Kemil was getting creepy hearing Kamelia's question to him.

"Love something that doesn't exceed the rate, baby... So that you don't get too sick when he leaves. To sincerely grow so easily in your heart." Kamelia clasped Kemil's hand.

"I looked there, for I was so praising the beauty of His creation. Just like I was looking at you. So good he has destined you for me. So wisely he arranged our meeting. Although I am no longer holy, but through you He covers my filth. Although I have been scorned, but through your family he covered up my disgrace." Kemil rubbed Kamelia's cheeks that had been flooded with tears.

"With twilight, I understand the sky is not always bright. With twilight, his pink light was like welcoming a dark night. By dusk, I understand the phases of life."

Kemil hugged the body of Kamelia who was so strong even though in her heart she was so fragile.
