Waiting At the End of Dusk
annul the marriage
Siska was trying to hold back the tear from dripping softly at the end of her eyes. Slowly Siska wiped her tears with her handkerchief. Bara stared at the incident with a troubled heart.
Bara was confused and did not know what to do and how to deal with Siska who began to cry even though it only sounded slow. Bara has never entertained a woman other than Mala.
If it was Mala, Bara would be very happy to cheer her up. Giving him a little silly and funny, Mala must have been able to laugh again. But Bara did not understand why when Siska, his future wife, was sad, she felt guilty and helpless.
"Siska, don't cry here. Later they thought I had bullied you," said Bara, which further upset Siska.
Not comforted, but scolded. Bara, are you that stupid. Not at all sensitive what I want? inner Siska.
"Bara, I'm tired. I'm tired of loving you. Tired of chasing you, because when I ran closer, you even further left me," said Siska sad.
"Siska what are you saying? I don't understand what you're saying at all" Bara said.
"We'll just cancel our wedding."
"What?! Siska, you don't joke. We'll be married in a month. Didn't we have all the preparations planned?" tanya Bara lowered her voice.
"Only I planned, you have absolutely no desire for it."
"Siska, what do you mean? Didn't you agree that you ordered everything?" ask Bara expectantly.
"What did I order? Invitation letter, party venue, wedding dress or honeymoon spot?" Siska asked back.
"Siska, why are you talking like that?"
"I give up, I can't stand you anymore. Before that, I want to know one thing. Have you ever loved me?" siska asked while looking at Bara.
I don't know what to answer. If he answers ever, then he becomes a liar. But if he answers never, everything will fall apart. This marriage is threatened with cancellation.
"Because Bara cannot answer, I will answer. All this time Bara never loved me. Is that right, isn't it?" siska asked in disappointment.
"Siska, sorry," only that word came out of Bara's mouth.
Siska grew even more hurt because Bara did not refute her words at all. So all this time only he's been in love. But they just use it.
"But Siska, I will take responsibility for what I did to you" Bara said later.
"no need. I can't live with a man who's just for the sake of a responsibility to marry me. Let's just say that never happened."
The atmosphere became awkward and Siska immediately left Bara with regret. But before leaving, Siska gave Bara an advice.
"Bara, as long as you can't be honest with yourself and accept reality. Then you will forever never be able to truly have."
Bara could only guess the meaning of Siska's words. Maybe it's a satire for him that can never be honest if he can't forget Mala. Accept the fact that Mala can no longer be reached.
"I'm sorry Siska."

In the end, Siska decides to leave Bara's life forever. Siska resigns and goes out of town without saying goodbye to Bara. So yesterday's meeting became the last meeting of Bara and Siska.
From then on, Bara became somewhat quiet and reclusive. He spends more time going to his best friend's cafe Bagas to calm down.
"Mas, pity Bara huh. The marriage was annulled and she looked devastated" Mei told her husband, Bagas.
Bagas approached Bara who looked tangled since the marriage was canceled. It turns out that she feels guilty for the failure of her and Siska's marriage.
"Bara, don't torture yourself too much. Even if you are the cause of your marriage failure, Siska should also talk first instead of directly canceling the marriage. All can be discussed well," said Bagas gave the spirit of Bara.
"I was also surprised why he so easily annulled this marriage while I was already trying to take responsibility. But he won't. Is it that bad of me that he hates me?" bara.
"Or maybe he knows something about Mala?" ask Bagas.
"What?!"
"Bara, you're dead. It has broken people's children's hearts. It should have been honest with Siska from the beginning" Bagas said, shaking his head.
Bara was stunned to hear the words of Bagas.
I'm really stupid. And made Siska leave me with the heartache of my dishonesty, inner Bara.
But now it's too late. Siska's gone and Bara doesn't know where she's going. Only regret now remains and it torments Bara's heart.
Meanwhile, Mei remembers Mala and tells her about the cancellation of Bara and Siska's marriage. Mala was shocked and regretted what happened to the two of them. Mala becomes upset herself to the point of making Dicko curious.
"Darling, why do you look upset? You're pregnant, don't think too much about the things that make you depressed" Dicko said as he sat next to her.
"I am upset and sad. Bara and Siska are not married."
"What?!"
"Mas, don't be so loud. I was shocked" said Mala stroking his chest.
"Sorry baby. I was too shocked. I wonder why their marriage was suddenly annulled. Don't-don't..."
Dicko looked towards Mala, as if to say 'because of you'.
Mala looks upset because her husband seems to judge her as the cause of the cancellation of Bara and Siska marriage. Mala leaves behind her husband who continues to apologize to her, but she ignores him.
"Dear, I'm sorry."
Dicko regretted his words which made Mala angry at him. Until the night before, Mala was still sulking and did not want to talk to him. Although now they are in one room and one bed, yet not a word is spoken from the mouth of his wife.
"Darling, don't let me dong. Speak something. What do you want to eat? Or do you want to be taken?" dicko said seduce Mala.
Dicko began to massage Mala's hands and Dicko was happy that Mala was silent when he scowled her, though not a word came out of Mala's mouth. Mala actually wanted to hit her husband's body for accusing him.
Over time, her husband's massage made Mala sleepy. And finally Mala fell asleep.
Dicko smiled looking at the sweet face in front of him that did not seem upset. Dicko's eyes were fixed on the red lips of his wife who had not been used to talk. There is a sense of wanting to punish him. The most delicious and painless punishment for his pregnant wife.
What punishment did Dicko think?
