Waiting At the End of Dusk

The past of Reno

The flashback

After being rejected by the Shella family, Reno left with a deep heartache and disappointment. Especially after knowing that Shella is pregnant and hidden by Shella's parents to a place that Reno does not know.

Reno becomes lost and desperate. Reno decides to leave the city where she lives and look for Shella various places outside the city. He eventually became a homeless man on the streets.

One day Reno gets into a hit-and-run accident. His condition was very severe and he had a lot of blood loss that required a blood transfusion. It was Mona who donated her blood to Reno so that Reno could be saved.

Finally, in order to return the favor, Reno is willing to marry Mona, a widow with one child. At that time, Lilis was one year old. But before marriage, Reno tells Mona her life story. Reno's heart belongs to someone else. Mona is willing to accept Reno and marry without love for the sake of her husband's legacy company which is threatened with bankruptcy due to the loss of the leader.

Reno is now the CEO of Mona's husband's estate. And the company was well developed until now can be passed on to his son-in-law, the husband of Lilis.

Although Reno can never love Mona, she carries out her obligations as a near-perfect husband and father. Even Reno never glanced at any woman for the sake of the wedding vows with Mona.

A year ago, Mona died of heart disease.

Flashback off

Mr. Reno frowned and took a deep breath. Although this time back for the mother, Mr. Reno also can not lie to his heart if he hopes to meet with the ex-Shella.

Mr. Reno is very curious to know how Shella is doing, but Mr. Reno knows that Shella is overseas and there is no way he is here. He closed his hopes so as not to be disappointed.

Tomorrow, he goes to his mother's house. By driving his fancy car. Her mother now lives with her youngest sister named Tika.

"Assynoltom..."

"Wa'alaikum salam.." replied Tika.

"Eyeah..."

"Mas Reno? Finally you came also mas openly," said Tika while hugging the sister.

"Yes, Tik. It took me 25 years to get back to being the Reno you know. I'm sorry Reno" said Mr. Reno, full of regret.

"Important that Reno is fine, we are very happy. Sit down, mom is resting. I'll look and tell him first so that I'm not surprised to see your presence," Tika said and then she passed away to her mother's room.

Tika stopped at the door. An elderly woman was sleeping with a corner in the corner of her bed. Tika walked slowly closer to him to see more clearly if the mother had woken up.

Her mother slowly opened her eyes as Tika had already reached near her mother's bed.

"Tika..," said his mother slowly.

"Mom, are you awake? Did Tika's arrival wake up mom?" ask Tika.

"No, Tika. I woke up because I was dreaming about your sister, Reno. How's he doing now? Is he in good health?" ask the mother.

Tika helps her mother get up and sit on the edge of the bed. His already heavily wrinkled hands were trying to grab the glass filled with drinking water that was beside him.

"Mother, actually mas Reno also did not forget us completely. She still loves her mother" said Tika trying to make her not sad.

"What do you mean Tik?"

"Mother, actually Reno really wants to meet mom. The last time she called Tika and mom, she said she was going back to mom. Do you remember?" tika asked while looking at her mother's sad face.

"Mom remember. But Samapi today he hasn't come home either. I don't want anything from her except her coming here."

"Yes Mom. Mas Reno sends money to mom and Tika every month, but it can't treat our feelings of kangen to her."

"Of course Tika. That's what I was hoping for" said Tika's mother.

"Mother, Reno's out now. Tika between the mother to meet him," said Tika makes the mother happy.

"really? Quickly take mom to see him."

Tika helped her mother walk slowly towards the living room. Wati's mother was stunned to see her eldest son standing behind her. The longing that ensnared him will now be treated with the arrival of his son.

"Reno..."

Reno was surprised to hear her mother's voice calling her name. He turned his body and looked at the woman who had started to age. His mother seemed very sad to see her son who had almost 25 years not seen and only her voice that had been heard it was only by phone.

Reno walked up to her mother and prostrated herself to beg for mercy for having left the family for nearly 25 years. Reno was crying as well as her mother and sister.

"Stand son, your place is not at the feet of the mother, but in the heart of the mother" said the mother, pulling Reno's body slowly.

"Mother forgive Reno," Reno said as she hugged her mother.

The atmosphere of Tika's house became full of novelty. Reno and the mother let go of each other's longing.they chatted in the living room while occasionally Reno looked at her mother who had changed greatly since the last time she saw her mother before the death of the father.

"Mother, sit. Don't stand too long, later the mother is tired," said Mr. Reno as he asked his mother to sit on the sofa.

Mr. Reno sat near his mother while staring at the wrinkled face of his mother who was almost 63 years old. The atmosphere became silent for a moment because they were both carried away by their feelings.

Tika deliberately let mother and child let go of longing. He cooks for them for lunch. This will be the first time Reno has eaten with her family again.

"Reno, why are you going home alone. Where are the mother's children and grandchildren?" ask the mother slowly.

"They can't come here today. Dodi is not well" Reno replied.

"What's? Mother's granddaughter is sick?" ask mom while coughing a few times.

"Is mom sick? Why do you keep coughing?" ask Reno to worry.

"Mother is old. Sometimes the mother coughs and does not feel well" replied the mother.

"Reno take a check to the hospital. Coincidentally, my son Lilis is a doctor of internal medicine. How's mom?" ask Reno worried.

"No need, son. I'm fine."

"Reno's coming here, wanting to pick up mom. Reno wants to be happy, and asks u to stay with us," Reno said begging.

The mother simply fell silent and looked towards her son who continued to look at her with a dejected look.

"Will Tika let mom go with you?" ask the mother again.

"certain ma'am. Yesterday I talked about everything with Tika."

"really?"

"Originally I agree, Reno will pick up mom tomorrow" Reno said.

"alright. But it's not like I want to be with you forever. I just want to get to know my grandchildren and great-grandchildren more closely" replied his mother with a smile.

Mr. Reno was very happy to hear his mother's answer. Will the mother miss Mala and Gala when she finds out Reno and Shella's children are still alive?
