TWILIGHT

27

Anton's been home a week. Today was his last day at home before he returned to work. "Mas Anton is leaving tomorrow, right?" tanya Dusk who suddenly went into her brother's room just like that.

Anton stopped his cleaning activity. He patted the place beside him so that Dusk sat there. "Yes, tomorrow morning Mas depart," said Anton while looking closely at his beloved sister.

Dusk slammed into her brother's arms and cried there.

"Udah, his sister Mas Anton kok crybaby anyway," said Anton while gently rubbing his sister's head.

"Bi.bi.biarin!" said Dusk while sobbing.

Anton no longer answered. She just hugged her little sister tightly while occasionally gently rubbing her head.

"Anton," call Dad from the doorway.

Hearing his name being called, Anton raised his head. "Yes Well."

"Have you finished getting ready?" ask Dad.

"Less a little bit Well," said Anton while showing Dusk who now hugged him tightly.

"Yes, the Masnya sorted out instead of being helped kok even bothered," said the gentle father.

"Bi..biarin, let eng..eng... not run continuously, continue to eng..eng.eng.eng, not so go be..be...besok," said Dusk painstakingly in between his cries.

Dad patted Anton on the shoulder before going out of the room.

Tonight, Dusk really doesn't want to be away from Anton. He even slept in his sister's room.

...***...

Night went and now morning has come. Breakfast with complete formation, this is the condition in the current Sam family residence.

"Yes, that's why it's really dong" Anton said.

Dusk looked up for a moment to look at his brother before finally returning to focus on stirring up the food on his plate.

"Add more son," Mother told Anton.

"Already Mom, it's full," said Anton before finally moving to approach his youngest sister. Anton pulled out a chair and sat down beside Dusk.

"Aaa..," said Anton while offering a mouthful of rice to Dusk.

Even the twilight opened his mouth. Slowly he chews the food in his mouth. Long enough, but the food had not been swallowed.

"It's been a long time, really," said Anton softly.

Dusk seemed to have difficulty swallowing his food. "Aya's anterine, huh?"

Anton did not answer. He returned to feed a spoonful of rice to Dusk.

"Mas" call Dusk with your mouth full.

"Bareng Mas aja, yes" said Atma.

"Munya Mas Anton" said Dusk.

Anton returned to feed a spoonful of rice to Dusk. "Mas was willing to leave again Ay, too" said Anton.

"Can not far Mas, at most not up to half an hour, Mas has arrived home again. Abis it's Mas if you want to go, just go."

"Yes...!"

Dusk shrieked to hear the scuffling from his brother. It was not Anton this time who spoke, but Atma. Just as Atma was about to make a sound again, Father's hand movements managed to interrupt him to stop talking.

"Mas Anton is leaving, son. He needs to check some luggage so that no one is left behind" Sam's father said.

"But right.." Dusk said. At that moment, shed tears that he had been holding back.

Anton's hand stretched out to stroke the top of his sister's head. "Mas Anton promised, this time will not be long. If Aya is upset, we can call or video call" Anton said softly. "Yes yes", Anton continued later.

Dusk just nodded, then he grabbed the plate Anton was carrying, and tried to finish his meal immediately.

Now it was time for Dusk to go to school. He said goodbye to his parents and brothers. "Mas Anton really want to go on this?" ask Dusk.

Anton nodded and hugged his sister. "You're fine at home, same Mom's dad."

Dusk nodded as his answer.

The twilight did not try to escape. He just kept quiet.

"Udah, leave gih, later miss the angkot," said Mother.

"Yes, Aya is leaving. Assalamualaikum." After that he walked to the place where he used to wait for the angkot who would take him to school.

Not long after the angkot came. Dusk is no longer a drama when you want to ride an angkot. He was getting used to this activity. In the armchair, he sat beside the window. Along the way, he was always facing out the window. Anton is now leaving. Will he say kayak first? Inner Dusk.

Until he arrived at school he did not talk much. This made his three friends wonder.

"Sst, shh..."

Ucik and Ayu looked at Dusk when Ifa interrupted them to look at his compatriot.

"Why?" ask Ayu to Ifa and Ucik without a sound.

The one being asked was only spreading his shoulders as a sign of their ignorance.

"Forges?" call Ifa while patting Dusk on the shoulder.

"Hmm," Dusk just cleared his throat as the answer.

"You sick?" ask Ifa again.

Dusk answered only with a head.

"In the meantime, the bell comes in, if you don't feel well, I'll take it to the UKS first" said Ifa again.

"No. I'm okay," refused Dusk.

"OK deh. If there's anything to say to us," said Ifa.

"Yes, don't forget that you also have a friend" Ayu suddenly said.

"Thank you guys" said Dusk as he turned his body slightly facing Ifa beside him and Ucik and Ayu behind him.

"Eh, uh, shh." Ayu interrupted her three friends to look towards the window.

The three did it too. It turns out that there was Arga passing in front of class VII f with some of his friends. But that is not the only thing that attracts the attention of the three, but the view of Arga that is fixed on Dusk.

"Geez salting again it's Brother!" cry Ayu with a stifled voice.

"Our older brother seems to be deliberately passing in front of our class just to look at you," said Ifa while raising her eyebrows while talking to Dusk.

Dusk just scowled and swept his lips. While Ucik and Ayu giggled at hearing it. They tease Dusk not without reason, because Ifa catches wet how Arga looks at Dusk, and he also sees how Arga immediately throw his face when Dusk turned to the window.

When they were busy tempting Dusk, the bell in rang.

Lost the laughter on the face of Dusk.

"Senja, are you okay?" ayu asked as she suddenly saw the change in Dusk's face.

Dusk just smiled and nodded.

"Relax, Mr. Umar is not a monster," continued Ifa.

The four of them laughed.

"Assalamualaikum, good morning children," said Mr. Umar in class VII f.

"For Paaaakkkk," unison class VII f.

"Chairmen of the class please be led to pray" said Mr. Umar. May this day be well, God. Don't let me get hit again in math amen. Inner Dusk.

And the lesson continued normally.

TB

Thank God, this part is also dear.

Who stopped by don't forget to leave a trace.

Criticism and advice are highly expected.

Thanks though.
