TWILIGHT

16

Still early in the morning, the dawn prayer just reverberated. Atma usually goes to the mosque herself, but now she is preparing to go to the mosque with her brother. After performing dawn prayers, Anton and Atma did not return home immediately.

"Mas ma'afkan Atma yes. Because Atma ngeduluin Mas marriage, all so neken Mas to get married quickly."

"It's okay, brother. Your soul mate has come, no one can go against God's destiny" Anton said, looking straight ahead.

"Mas, can Atma ask?"

Anton did not answer, he just nodded his head allowing his sister to ask.

"Well, what candidate isn't there yet?" ask Atma carefully.

"Mas has never closed itself to a relationship with women, but there is no belief that makes Mas dare to step into a more serious level. I fear that marriage will not be happy. Given what experienced by Almarhumah Mbk Ina always make Mas sick," said Anton with a bright look.

"But not all weddings are like that. I haven't been married for a long time, but I'm sure I can be happy with my household."

"Yes, marriage is the perfector of our religion. There is a heaven waiting, and things that were originally haram become lawful because of marriage."

"That's all you know."

"But Mas is not ready to face various complexities in the household," he said while looking down later.

"Yes after Mas, the gift is heaven, it must be difficult to dapetinnya, if easily the gift is most beautiful plates or umbrellas," said Atma.

They chuckle together.

"Mas, at least tell Daddy Mom that Mas already has a candidate, so they can calm down a bit."

Anton frowned as if asking what the meaning of his sister's words was.

"It is the hope of every parent if you already have adult children would want to see their children build a household" explained Atma. "Eh Mas, Mas Anton used to why use the event blur everything, close all access to communication, not ngabar, do not know the fog we, Mother and Father are not excited to do anything, do not, even Mother until rarely cook, even though Dusk knows for itself how to work. I had to handle everything, even the holy ones and cook me the ones who ngelakuin," Atma fights on her brother.

"I'm sorry Mas ya Dik" said Anton while patting his sister's shoulder.

"We were shocked when Mas Anton suddenly ran away. Lha wong pas known diem-diem Bae, so before the day h even say."

"Mas was just afraid of cheating Mom's dad if he refused."

"I was also known to the same children of Father and Mother, several times even. But I said if I didn't want to be fooled, they could figure it out."

"You're different from me. You are used to being a submissive child so the same mother can be sure of your choice. You can speak softly even if it's a rejection. As for me, I can never speak fluently, although I mean well, I cannot express it in subtle language. Maybe that's why Mom and Dad are afraid I'm wrong."

"Yes, wayward boy, unruly, truant, move around often, strangely you are still smart and always a general champion."

"And a lot of people think I got that value from the bribe." The two laughed considering how naughty the oldest boy in the Sam family was.

"The bottom line is, sir, I'm not going to tell Mom and Dad that I have a candidate. I hope you keep this a secret from them too. God willing, if that belief comes, I'll bring him home soon."

"People are far away?" ask Atma.

"No, still fellow inhabitants of planet earth," Anton replied casually.

"Who knows if Mas Anton would marry an alien" Atma said.

Bugh!

"Nyerang did not say, cheating is the name," shocked Atma.

"The word is his name, hahaha!" shouted Anton who ran and followed Atma who then rose and chased after his brother.

And this is where they fought, in the yard next to the house.

"Eh, what's this Astaghfirullah thing, Dad, Dad please Dad!" panicked mother who saw her two children fighting.

The father who was previously studying in the middle room, immediately got up to approach his wife. He smiled when he saw the behavior of his two sons.

"Astaghfirullah pah adzim akinin, "my hysterical mother.

The meaning that was previously cooking finally ran to approach her in-laws. Seeing her daughter-in-law panicking, dad immediately patted her on the shoulder hinting that everything was fine. Even the confused ones don't react.

"They're good at Nak silat, they've been sparing-partners like this for a long time" explained the father.

"Sparing, yeah sparing well, but yeah I don't wear the same glove Koko too. What if the scabbard falls?!" grouse mom.

The meaning giggles in the heart, so this is how her husband and sister express affection for each other. It's weird, but this is how it is.

"Udah, hosh, hosh, already" Anton's great-grandson with a breath of frenzy.

"Basar Adik brazen, there is no cowering the same old. Not afraid of what."

"And the retarded will be my parents, Mas" replied Atma who rose up with Anton's help.

"Awh! Forgive me, my God!" strangled Anton and Atma at the same time, as the mother again grabbed both of their ears.

"Yes Ma'am, my God, this is in order kangen-kenan equally brothers all want to exercise in the morning, yes Dik," defended Anton.

"Here you clean up, put some shame on you!"

The mother grabbed the ears of her two children and pulled them into the house.

Anybody curious where is Dusk? After dawn she decided to go to bed again because last night she stayed up late with her two sisters watching horror movies until the morning.

...****************...

"Sik, you can't eat yourself yet" taunted Anton as he ruffled his sister's hair.

"Your sister if not bribed yes choose not breakfast Ton," mother's nagging while feeding a spoon of fried rice to the mouth of her youngest child.

"Let's go ma'am, let's go hungry" Anton said, chuckling.

And the Dusk that was spoken of was only pursing his lips while wearing his socks.

"Mas," call Dusk.

"Hmm," answered Anton briefly.

"Do you know Aya's school?"

"No."

"Well," grumbled at Dusk.

"Modus tuh Mas, ask for her," Atma suddenly nodded while buttoning his shirt.

"2 months more so the son of Junior High has not even 5 times lo he set out alone," Atma fights on his brother.

Dusk scowled imagining today he would have to ride the questionnaire again.

"Yuk mas anterin" Anton bargained suddenly.

Atma glared in disbelief.

"Don't dong Mas, when did he stand up!" atma protested to her sister.

"Wleee, Mas Anton good, not like Mas Atma, evil," said Dusk with a beaming face.

"Udah, let's go with Mas Anton."

Atma was still expressing protest against her brother, while her mother, father and Arti still could not believe what they saw.

Even the twilight kissed everyone's hands. Then he walked cheerfully following Anton. They walked out of the yard.

"Loh Mas really do not take the motor, what do you wear?" dusk was aware that he and his brother came out of the house area without carrying a vehicle.

"No need to get a bike, just walk," replied Anton casually.

"What is really Mas, Aya school is far away," said Dusk while stopping his steps.

"And just to the highway, do use the motorbike, later Mas temenin until you can angkot deh."

Dusk still could not believe what he had just heard. His eyes were round with his mouth open.

"HHHHHWAHAHAHAHA!!!"

Atma's laughter broke upon hearing her sister and brother's talk. The others just giggle.

"Iiihhhh, Mr. Anton!" twilight Grunt as he stomped his feet quickly walked away from his brother.

"Loh Dikwaitin, he said he wanted to be escorted."

"Not bother. Ma ka anyway," said Dusk with emphasis on his last word.

"God has a Gini. May the angkot that yesterday stopped automatically without me using the scream scene and beyond the wave. Aamiin," muttered Dusk alone.

He walked with vigorous steps to start his day.

TBC.
