The Secret Admirer of Dusk

So That's the Story

The Flashback

A few years ago, before the family moved to the city of Jogja. At that time Dusk was still sitting on the bench of SMP. More precisely third grade SMP. While the sister, Ria is still fifth grade Elementary School.

Life that is all mediocre makes Dusk and Ria small must get used to being concerned, let alone eat potluck, in one day they can just eat already thank God.

Their father, Mr. Sapto, is a seeker of water in the coconut grove owned by Mbah Wito who is Andra's grandfather. While the mother is also only a processor of the water to be used as brown sugar.

It's just that these last few years Dusk can feel a variety of delicious snacks, wearing good accessories like city people. From whom else would it all have come if not from Andra.

Yes, ever since the events of Dusk saved Andra from a poisonous snake that almost took his life. Andra always met him when visiting his grandfather's house. And don't forget to always bring something that if you like the little tomboy girl.

"Well, is this all for me?" The brown sliced eyes belonging to Dusk sparkled as he opened the box of accessories that Andra had given him.

Don't forget the big bag of food that Andra brought from the city.

"Yes" Andra nodded and smiled at how happy the girl in front of her was about what she gave her.

"There's a lot of ya, Mas Ganteng. How good is handsome?" said Dusk who was busy opening the ice cream pack and started eating it.

Instead of answering, Andra asked back. "You likey?"

Little twilight nodded vigorously. "Like, really like! It's rare that I can eat kayak gini," the girl grimaced to show off her teeth full of chocolate from ice cream.

Andra wiped the girl's mouth, "if you like. I'll make a supermarket later so you can be content to grab food or whatever you want without having to pay,"

"No paying, Mom. Why?" although still engrossed in the food in his hands, but he still always answered every word Andra.

"And the supermarket is mine, so you're free to take,"

"Woah, really?"

Andra nodded definitely, "yes, I promise,"

The boy held out his index finger.

"Promise to come" said the two then laughed together.

But in recent months Dusk no longer meet Andra, which usually Andra will come once to two months. What he heard from his grandmother, Andra moved to the capital of Jakarta and continued his education there.

Without saying goodbye or parting words from Mas Gantengnya, honestly make Dusk disappointed. But who is she who is just a small village girl who is very simple and really what she is.

"Did Mas Ganteng not want to see me again,?" It is always there in the evening.

But when he returned to get a gift and also a letter from Andra, he broke his bad thoughts. Her smile returned to her lips.

Mr. Sapto who works as a nutmeg finder, of course he is required to climb coconut trees that can reach 5 to 7 meters in height. For many years he had pursued the job and there was never any obstacle that meant that long.

But today for some reason, his slightly unhealthy body still forced him to climb a tree that had been made to stand up. He thought about the education of his children, he should be able to raise money so that Dusk can continue his education so as not to become a difficult person like him. That's determination.

"Father do not have to leave first if the body is not good, let the mother who helps in the garden or at the house of the mother princess. At the dam also ndak papa," Ms Retno who was asked to swipe the back of Mr. Sapto warned the husband.

"Father is fine, Mom. Kan had been scraped earlier, had breakfast as well," he said Mr. Sapto remained on his determination.

But like the old saying that profit is unachievable and unfortunate cannot be denied. When it was almost to the end of the tree and was about to sit on one of the palm leaves, he felt his body tremble, his head suddenly dizzy so that he could no longer control his balance. His legs slipped and made him fall from a height of five meters.

"Aaaaakkhh" he shouted before landing.

"O Allah, O Allah," he said in a resigned heart.

There was no blood coming out of his body, but his entire limbs could not be moved, even just to ask for help he could not make a sound until his consciousness began to disappear.

Fortunately, there was a friend who was looking for firewood, and accidentally heard the sound of his screams. So he can immediately get help from the people around him.

Mr. Sapto was immediately rushed to the nearest hospital, he received immediate treatment. But the name dropped from a height, still gives a bad impact on his body. He could be saved, with serious internal injuries.

Mr. Sapto fell into a coma, and that certainly made his family very devastated. Sadness and sadness saw the head of the family lying weak helplessly with many tools attached to his body.

Not to mention thinking about where they can get the cost for the treatment. And how will they survive when the backbone of the only family can no longer make a living?

Since then, Dusk and his sister Ria helped the mother find a little money for their own needs. Like participating in harvesting coffee during the season, harvesting cloves, participating in the search for grain when there is a harvest and so forth. They do whatever they can to lighten the burden of the mother.

To eat rice, their rice can be from harvesting rice owned by the neighbors, while for side dishes they look for fish or shrimp at times, sometimes small shells as well. Or vegetables are picked for free in the gardens, even looking for mushrooms are also done.

As for the cost of the father, Bu Muti as the brother of Pak Sapto who is the elder brother of Bulik Asih. Come like a hero who is very meritorious to offer money loan assistance with guaranteed home certificates and rice fields part of Mr. Sapto.

Indeed, only their family's Muti Bu yergolong rich, because in addition he got the inheritance ration also before Mbah kakung Dusk died. He also married a fairly rich man, then he used his money to borrow and become a loan shark.

By having Bu Retno agree to this, even then with the insistence of her in-laws, the mother of Mr. Sapto. He just wants his son to recover soon and be able to recover as usual.

Time continued to pass, day after day passed by very heavily. Retno's mother waited for her husband in the hospital, while Dusk and Ria were at home with the grandmother.

One month, two months, and almost six months. But Mr. Sapto has not shown progress, the doctor gave time until exactly the sixth month. If until then Mr. Sapto has not reacted, then the doctor will be forced to remove all life support tools Mr. Sapto. In the sense that they must welcomes Mr. Sapto.

The money given by Bu Muti was almost completely exhausted, without the slightest bit they could repay it. Even soon it is a graduation exam Dusk which means the teenage girl also requires a fee.

"O Allah, if this is Your destiny. Servants can only rely on Your provisions. The servant has tried his best, Amin Ya Robbal Alamin," resigned Bu Retno in his prayer.

One week ago the opportunity of Mr. Sapto to the sixth month, when everyone was almost giving up and resigned. God showed his miracle, Mr. Sapto's fingers began to move slowly. His eyes blink to adjust the light entering the retina that has not been open for a long time.

Mr. Sapto was declared unconscious from the coma after the doctor examined him. Gratitude is done by Ms. Retno as her gratitude to God Almighty. Dusk and Ria who were told about his father's consciousness were no less excited.

They were eager to make food from their baseball results for Mr. Sapto when the father was taken home one week later. Although it has not recovered as usual, but Mr. Sapto has been allowed to be outpatient. Self-treatment is done to stimulate the muscles of Pak Sapto's body to be able to walk again.

And how could Mrs Muti come to Mr Sapto's house at this time? Wasn't their business finished when Mrs Muti took possession of the land along with Mr Sapto's house, plus the rice fields as well?

Flasback Off

"If it's all done, then why did Bude come here again?" Ask Dusk to Bu Muti who is his Budenya.

"The rice has your father that does not do, Nile! It's also free I piara this certificate from the past, instead of making me richer, even make me lose," replied Miss Muti with a jutek tone.

"Astagfirulloh, didn't Mbak himself agree with the agreement? But why turn around now, ma'am?"

Ms. Retno who felt that making the agreement was open voice.

"That's because I used to fuck you, same Sapto, and Sapto's mom!"

"Astaghfirulloh, Ma'am. He is the mother of Muti Mbak as well, he has considered Mbak Muti like his own son," Mr. Sapto does not believe in the attitude of his stepbrother at this time.

"He also never to distinguish the three of us," he continued.

"Always whatever. I don't give a shit! I don't need your babble either. All I need is my money back soon, so I can enjoy my old days comfortably,"

All who were there were the heads heard the woman's words, except for the husband of Miss Muti who was silent.

"But where can we get that kind of money, Mbakyu?" Back tears flooded Bu Retno's cheeks.

"This is all we have, our savings are in the bank, this is the book Mbakyu can see for himself. Also all this gold that we have," he continued to show a savings book and some gold pieces in the form of necklace bracelets and rings that have been on the table since.

"There's enough of this to make up for your debt, let alone it was a few years ago. Surely if at this moment, all that money has become more should be,"

Mr. Sapto, Ms. Retno was also widened in shock.

"We cannot replace the certificate of the rice field with the certificate of this house, Mbakyu. Because this house belongs to our son, those who have been struggling to save up to be able to buy this land,"

"Huh! I thought so! I also think of my son who will soon be born." Bude Muti glanced at Andra who was still silently listening, then continued his words. "If you don't want to replace it with this house, there will be your daughter-in-law who is said to be rich!"

"This has nothing to do with our son-in-law Nak Andra, Mbakyu! The money was used for my treatment, let me make up for it" Sapto said. It seems like his patience stock has begun to thin.

While Andra who felt himself mentioned began to open his voice.
