The Secret Admirer of Dusk

There's Dying Here Storytelling

The atmosphere in the hospital operating room which was originally quiet and only gave the sound of clanking tools used for surgery, now echoed the baby's voice. A tiny baby of the male sex is born healthy with a weight of 3 kilo grams.

"Alhamdulillah." said thankfully Lukman and the crew of doctors in unison.

After the tension due to the state of Ningsih had dropped, now they can breathe a little relieved because the baby can be delivered smoothly without significant obstacles.

One of the sisters took the baby to be cleaned, while the doctor continued surgery to close the incision scar on Ningsih's abdomen.

Lukman has always been faithful to accompany his struggling wife. Grasping the woman's hand, and always endlessly praying for her salvation.

While in another room, a place in the care of Bu Muti and Pak Minto. It appears that the middle-aged woman is still wheezing her breath even though the ventilator is still attached to her nose and mouth.

His hand grabbed a remote located on the nightstand beside him to call the doctor. With great difficulty, Muti reached for the object by continuing to breathe long, although he still felt that only a little oxygen had entered his lungs.

"To. long, "his pale lips kept muttering for help, but no sound came out.

His body has shifted to the edge of the bed to be able to reach the remote. His left hand held on to the left side of the bed, trying to shift even more, though it did not produce results even because of his small strength.

"Too-long's.. "

Feeling unable to shift his body which was quite large, Bu Muti tried to tilt, but what was the power of his body as if it had no power at all.

His breathing grew increasingly violent, and there was no sign of the slightest person entering his room. Make him feel between wanting to give up resigned or keep trying with the last remaining energy.

"Am I going to die now." she groaned inwardly, tears have been with her ever since.

"I'm sorry for all my mistakes, To. I'm sorry, Retno.. Forgive me, O God.. "

Madam Muti breathed deeper and deeper, until she saw her chest expanding and then deflating slowly.

Angga sat pensively, on his face implied clearly a deep anxiety. Because since Seruni was brought home he was hours ago, the girl still faithfully closed her eyes.

"Assalamu'alaikum." said Rudi and the two parents of Seruni who had just been picked up by him.

Angga's face, which was initially anxious about the condition of Seruni, is now increasingly pias because of the arrival of two people who are very meaningful in Seruni's life.

Seruni's mother glared as Angga reached out to kiss her, in contrast to her husband who looked legowo received the helping hand even with a sour-looking face.

"M-I'm sorry, sir.. Buk.. "

"What?! See-" the call from Seruni's mother surprised everyone there.

Very quickly the husband covered his wife's mouth and whispered in her ear.

"Sstt.. Bune, watch your attitude! It was impolite to shout like that in front of Mbah Kakung, Mbah Putri Harso, there was even her grandmother who was from Jogja as well, "

"Huh! " seruni's mother snorted at her husband's words.

Although her heart still felt angry and arrogant, eager to berate and curse the young man before her, but she undo it and choose to obey her husband rather than later would humiliate herself.

The two Seruni parents named Pak Edi and Mak Ida said, they sat down after greeting everyone who had been there first. Mbah kakung, mbah putri, Eyang Kumala, Andra, Dusk, Bayu, Rudi and Bulik Asih who had just prepared a drink were also snacks.

After everyone returned to sitting quietly on the available carpet, after welcoming the arrival of Mr. Edi and Mak Ida, Mbah Kakung began to express his thoughts.

"Edge.. Ida.. here I am as the grandfather of Angga. I also apologize profusely for the wrongs my grandson has made, without justifying his actions in the slightest, "

Everyone was stunned to hear the apology from Mbah kakung. Especially Angga who immediately scattered grasping the hand of Mbah kakung and lowered his kiss.

"Don't do this. This may all be wrong Angga, because Angga is too ignorant with everything around Angga, "

"Mbah Harso do not be so. No one is to blame in this case, both Angga and Seruni, they are both victims, Mbah." said Mr. Edi.

The man immediately glanced sharply at the wife when the woman wanted to say a roar. Because he has memorized the character of his wife who does tend to the ceplos.

"I'm sorry before all of this, without compromising your respect for everyone here. Andra really did not know about what really happened to Kak Angga and Kak Seruni," Andra nodded respectfully to everyone before interrupting the apology.

Andra feels very lay on the story of Angga, because his brother did not explain anything about the actual incident, he just said he wanted to fight back for his love before he married Amanda.

Because in the past during these events, Andra was still busy wandering to find the existence of his heart which has now become his life companion. He only feels happy when the brother wants to get married without noticing or understanding the irregularities that exist in the relationship between brother and sister-in-law first.

Everyone who had turned to Andra, now one by one began to look at Angga who became the object asked Andra.

Angga sighed, dismissing the pain that would come back when he began to dig up the memory where he knew and began to be tricked by Amanda.

"Amanda.one class while studying in Jakarta. I didn't even know him if he wasn't the one who spoke and told me, "the parents frowned at the beginning of Angga's story.

While Andra and Bayu rotate their eyeballs lazily, because they memorize the character of their brother. Dusk just nodded in response.

"During college, I just ignored him and was always engrossed in my own world with my friends, without assuming his presence that often appeared wherever I was, "

"Until I graduated college, I never responded. Because I don't think it's necessary, and it would only hurt to give me false hope, "

"After graduation, we were busy with our respective affairs. I was the one who asked Dad to run the company, and he didn't know what he was doing. And from then on, I felt like I never saw him again, "

Angga paused his speech, he noticed one by one the faces were seriously listening to his story. Then a continued it again, despite having to open up the old wounds that were beginning to be forgotten by him.

"I think it's all over, his obsession with me is just awe of his college friends. And I never thought about it either, "

"Until one day, I accidentally met him whom even I still did not recognize. He insisted on reminding me of his stories, with his gift items that I never received, like secret fans only, "

Hearing Angga's sentence, Andra glanced at Dusk who was still focused on listening to the story of her brother-in-law.

"But strangely, since that meeting, every day there's a way for him to meet me. Either business, either he said he accidentally met, and others. Until one day.. "
