Single-minded
Falan Muhammad Aleki



In one corner of the earth, the deepest part of the country. A woman sits upright on her wheelchair. Looking straight at the sun that sank behind the mountain. The gaze that awaits dusk rushes from the eastern horizon. A gaze full of longing for an unspoken figure. Hoping for dusk was able to erase the nameless longing in his heart. The creator's golden streak calmed his heart. Unmatched beautiful paintings full of warmth. Welcoming an evening full of peace.


The woman sitting right next to the little hut. A hut that was inversely proportional to his house. A beautiful house built on a hill. A house that stands between the houses of the people. Without any iron gates to restrict. The height he was sitting on, making him easily stare at dusk. A comfortable woman sits on her wheelchair. Even though the afternoon wind was blowing so hard. Until the long hijab is blown so easily. But the wind seemed not to disturb his heart. He remained calm, waiting for the twilight to come.


"Sik, we better get in. It's getting late, soon Maghrib. Remember your condition has not fully recovered!"


"In a moment, dusk has not greeted me. After gazing at the twilight, I will enter!"


"Nearly two weeks you're here, not a day you miss twilight. Aren't you tired of staring at the same twilight!" Said the brother, saw the head of the woman. A gesture that says, if there is never a word bored when staring at twilight.


"Only dusk can erase my shindles!"


"If you miss him, why do you reject him? Are you afraid of not being happy? Same with now anyway. You love her, but it hurts her heart and yours!"


"Sister doesn't know him, he's a good guy. I'm just a weak woman, my heart is full of pain. I believe there is a best understanding for him. Just like dusk, I just wanted to calm him down. Without me thinking about settling down with him. Dusk never promised me a meeting. But dusk will come, when I need it. Where and whenever I am? Loyal twilight is in my bike. I want to be dusk for him. Loving without a promise of unity, but faithfulness is in its own time!"


"Obviously you love him so much. I want to meet that great man. He is the one who can melt my brother's cold heart. Certainly not a random man!"


"Never see him. Brother would embarrass me. I'm sure you'll tell me about my feelings. Ever since I knew him and then loved him. Since then I have kept this love. I don't want to share it with anyone? Including the one I love!"


"Why are you being so hard? Love exists because your heart believes it is the best. You can't be selfish, however your heart deserves to be happy?"


"Maybe I don't deserve to be happy. Look now, my body is weakening right at the moment I started to love her. My departure was without saying goodbye, clearly making her stay away. So I better learn to forget. Than I remember her, but hurt!"


"You won't be able to forget it. Even in your unconscious, only his name is what you call. Clearly he has an important meaning in your heart!"


"When did you know his name? There's no need to assume, if you don't know!"


"Isn't he the man on your phone screen!" Said the sister relaxed, at once the woman turned her head. He was embarrassed and astonished. When she realized, her brother started checking his personal phone.


"Sister!" Hysterical shouting.


"Just calm down, I caught a glimpse of your wallpaper. I wasn't that sassy, until I opened up your cell phone. It's just that I'm getting more sure. He really means something in your life. Because he's the first man on your personal phone. Besides my number and dad's number!"


"That's it, there's no need to talk about it anymore. I'm tired, brother go inside. I'll be in after dusk sets!" Said the cheerful sister with a seductive smile. The brother rubbed the head of the brother who was covered in hijab.


The big brother's hands are always protecting and guarding him. The apparent affection of two brothers. Relationships are full of sincerity, without thinking of a reply. A relationship that is based on blood, but has a meaning that exceeds blood relationships.


"Alright, brother's in. Remember, get in as soon as your gun disappears. Brother will make you dinner. After that, you have to go to the hospital!"


"Ready boss!" Said the sister, while paying respect to the brother.


Slowly Falan left her sister. A sister who always worried about her sister more than she did. Although Falan believed, her sister was able to take good care of herself. Falan was a doctor in a very remote part of the country. He deliberately devoted himself in the lagging areas. All for the noble ideals of the sister. Establish the largest and most complete hospital. So that no more people die without help.


The hospital was built not far from the small house where Falan lived temporarily. A complex was built, to support the medics who work in the hospital. Even Falan provides scholarships for students around. Studying at medical university. In order to become a doctor who serves his area.


Program designed in such a way. For the noble dream of his sister. Wishing their sincerity to be a light to those in need. Even Falan intends to establish a school. But the plan is still constrained by permits and unfinished development land. Falan deliberately chose in this corner. Because the sister feels comfortable and peaceful with an atmosphere that is so beautiful and calm. There are no limits between rich and poor. All mixed and helped each other every trouble.


"Excuse me!" Sapa Bayu was friendly, Falan immediately turned her head.


Bayu just got off his sport bike. The steep and winding road that the baby passes. Make Bayu can not use the car. Forced to use a motorcycle. To get to the small house on the hill. It took almost an hour. Until finally Bayu arrived at this house. The house where Farah lived went away from her without a word.


"Yes what's wrong? Looking for who?" Sahut Falan friendly.


"I'm sorry if I could ask. Does Farah live in this house?"


"Flood!" Falan said, Bayu nodded without hesitation.


"Who are you?"


"I'm Bayu, Fatih's brother Farah's best friend!"


"So he's the guy that made Farah fall in love!" Inner Falan.


"Whose name were you?"


"Afrizal Sanjaya Wood!" Sayu firmly.


"You're the son of the Sanjaya family!" Falan said flatly, Bayu nodded slowly. As if Bayu did not care about the social status of his family.


"You can find Farah. The Sanjaya family's power is so great. Being able to find such a secluded place!"


"You know my family!" Bayu said, Falan shook her head.


"Farah is in the backyard. He's waiting for dusk. If you want to see him, meet him. But one thing my message is, don't pity him. Farah does not like to be pitied. Meet him without worrying about his condition. She's fine as long as there's me!"


"Farah hurts!" Sayu does not believe.


"He's better, the critical period is over!" Sahut Falan firmly.
