Waiting At the End of Dusk

Go away and never come back

"Who?" sita asked while tilting her face at Sulthan's side.

"ah! not really." Sulthan turned his gaze away from the person he had noticed earlier.

"Oh, ayok! the servant was there!" Sita pointed towards the waiter who was at the reservation table.

They walked over to the table that was being prepared.

"Thank you" they said in unison as the servant was finished, who then left.

"Sulthan, can I ask you a question?" Sita folded her hands on the table and looked at Sulthan seriously.

"Sure, ask." Sulthan smiled and did the same with Sita, his eyes locked.

"Sulthan, how long have you been married?" ask Sita with her heart beating fast enough.

Sulthan was silent for a moment. Sita slightly tilted her face and looked at her even deeper. He still doesn't budge. Sita frowned, waiting for him to talk.

After a moment of silence, Sulthan loosened his throat before finally saying, "Yes ..it's been almost a year."

"Still new bride dong!" exclaimed Sita, while Sulthan just smiled and nodded.

"Sita, we'd better finish dinner soon. You see, what I know is that here we can only eat a maximum of one hour," said Sulthan who looked at the banner near the reservation table.

Sita fell silent, then said, "Well, let's grab the food at the buffet table!" he shouted while pointing towards the long table not far from where they were sitting.

After dinner together, Sulthan drove Sita first to the villa. Along the way, the two remained silent. Sita and Sulthan, neither of them opened a conversation with each other.

Almost half an hour drive, the car that Sulthan drove to the villa yard owned by the family Ranggalih. From inside the car they saw the members of the middle family asik barbeque in the courtyard beside the villa.

"You, you wanna come by?" Sita made an offer without looking at Sulthan, but toward the family members.

"So, next time. Say my apologies to both of your parents. Tomorrow I will come here again with my sister," said Sulthan who can still be understood by Sita.

"All right, then I'll go in first. Bye, Sulthan." Sita then got out of the car and closed the door again.

"Bye." Sulthan said softly, almost not even heard by Sita because of the sound of the door being closed simultaneously.

Sita stood in her place, waiting for Sulthan who was gradually leaving from the courtyard of the villa. After the car that Sulthan was driving lost from sight, Sita went inside.

"Son."

"Yes Mother ... I know from Sulthan." Sita went straight to her room.

"Sita, cry Mother first!" Rose's voice so echoed after Sita who was walking further away from her.

"Udahlah Bun, Sita does not want to marry. POINT!" Sita then sat down on the edge of her bed. Sometimes he takes a long breath. Rose saw, implied by the look of disappointment on her daughter's face.

"Darling ... " Rose took her breath. "Mother also just found out from dad that Sulthan was married, and—"

"And he wants, me with his sister? is that so Mother?" Sita's stunned. Rose immediately hugged her little daughter who had now grown up.

"Why is this matchmaking not cancelled? Sita also feels like an item, which can be transferred by anyone who buys it. Do you not feel sorry for Sita? ... All this time, Sita has been comfortable Bun. Maybe God doesn't love Sita's soul mate now." Sita releases the embrace of the mother. Both of his eyes were red. Her tears had not been shed since when.

"Darling, Mommy knows this is hard for you, but ... Mother also can not cancel this matchmaking. Everything's round, son. Mommy hopes her sister Sulthan will accept you for who you are." Rose tried to convince her son. However, Sita herself insisted on refusing.

Elsewhere, a car is parked in the basement of a luxury apartment. The owner of the car went down, and put his foot into the apartment.

His footsteps then stopped in front of a room that read H152. He began to push a button next to the door.

Before long, the small screen next to the button lit up. It looks like someone is on the screen.

"Eh, brother," said the man.

"Hurry and open the door!"

The man inside the screen opened the door. A smile rose from both corners of his lips.

"Why didn't you tell me you wanted to come here?"

"Why?" the newly arrived man hissed, then said, "Am I not free to come here at any time?"

"Yes, but ... "
