When Dusk Passes

Only I Stay the Same

Lira woke up when the voice of the morning Adhan was reverberating, her head was a little dizzy, because of the preoccupation of chatting with mother and father, they did not realize that the time had shown at 12 pm.

After the dawn prayer, the lira immediately kedapur helps the mother prepare breakfast. Mom was mengolek chilli when Lira appeared in the kitchen. Lira immediately took a seat in the chair while peeling the onions.

"Rika, her son bude next door wants to marry Ra next month, when you go to college she is still Junior High ehh now she wants to be someone's wife." Mom opens the chat while mengolek chilli.

" Hmmmm hold ?" Answer the Lira accordingly.

" How do you keep going? when are you, it's your friends already in marriage." Mom babbling.

"Well, how else the soul mate has not reached mak." Cengengesan lira.

"The fool picked up Ra, don't wait. This way you can continue to be your old virgin." Sindir.

"Astaghfirullah, I'm talking about it." Lira widened her eyes.

Mother just silent, from the look of her face can be seen a great hope to see her oldest daughter became a bride.

After that there was no more conversation between the mother and the child until they finished their work making breakfast.

LIRA

Old virgin.

Old virgin.

Old maid???????????

Aaaarrgghhh...

The truth is, I'm only 27 years old, I can't yet be categorized as a spinster. I threw my body on the bed. My mood suddenly evaporated after a conversation with my mother in the kitchen.

Drrrt.drttt.

My phone's shaking, I see Alin's call on the screen. I lifted.

" Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam Ra's.. So you go home, right?" Ask Alin.

" So Lin, I sampled last night. Plans are going there tomorrow. Take a break today." I said on the phone.

" Thank God, no matter how I wait, oh yes there is a greeting from my future husband." Goda Alin's.

" Hahaaaaa, who is your future husband ?"

" Prepared to hang right see my candidate later wkkkk. Yes, rest, tomorrow I wait at home. Assalamualaikum." Alin decided on the phone.

" Neylorda." I replied slowly because I knew the phone connection had been cut off.

I was still lying in the bed with my face facing the sky of the room, I thought of Alin's words earlier, ready to hang out to see her future husband? who is the future husband of Alin, if I hang it means that the person must be someone I know, but who??

I thought for a long time, but could not answer my curiosity, because there is no list of men who have ever been close to Alin as I like. All right, just wait till tomorrow, I'll know too, my mind.

Then I got up to clean up, the plan today I want to go out for a while to take my sister and my cousin's sister to soak in the hot pool in my cab. Because my mother and father did not want to be invited, we finally went four by riding two motorcycles.

The trip there only takes 10 minutes, after parking the bike we buy tickets to be able to enter, there are several special hot tubs for children and adults. My sister and I walked to the adult pool. Just a few steps, I squinted my eyes, I caught a familiar figure.

"Azzles..."

I stood there, before long the figure of Azzel approached me. There was another from Azzel, her body looked more contained and plump and my gaze stopped on her stomach, her stomach looked big, Azzel was pregnant.

" Hey..." Sapa Azzel's.

" Hey, how are you?" I look clumsy.

" Good thank you, you?" Azzel asked back.

" Good." My answer.

Before long a man approached Azzel.

" He's my husband." Azzel said as if answering my curiosity, I just nodded.

" She, I talked to my friend first." Azzel spoke to her husband, followed by a nod by the man then he smiled kindly at me, I returned his smile. After Azzel's husband left, he invited me to sit on the bench not far from where we were standing.

" Have you married Ra?" Ask Azzel.

I shook my head slowly with a slight smile, considering my not-so-good relationship with Azzel earlier made me somewhat uncomfortable sitting with her.

"How many months?" I set my gaze on Azzel's stomach.

" Oh yeah, I'm sorry Ra, he used to be mean to you." Azzel clasped my hand, I saw her bead in the eye, there was sincerity.

" I'm sorry too." Sincerely revealed.

" In the end we just couldn't get Azka." Continue with a smile.

"Mahaaaaaa." We laughed together.

" I thought you'd be with Azka, where is the boy now?" Azzel asked.

" I don't know, maybe an alien's been kidnapped, or strayed into space." Reply Origin.

We laughed again, it managed to cut the stiffness between us before. After talking for a while, Azzel was allowed to join her husband. I stared at Azzel's back which started to drift away.

Everything has changed, only I remain the same, well I am still like this, still at home living in the shadows of the past, he said, I exhaled deeply then stood up and joined my sisters.

...

I fell asleep for a long time, after coming home from a hot bath for two hours, I felt very tired. My body is like a cracker that is easily crushed with just one squeeze.

By late afternoon I woke up, I was yawning wide until my jaw hurt and wriggling my body.

Drrt...

My phone rang, I saw an image call. I remember, since I came home only once I contacted him, even in the form of a message to inform me that I had arrived.

" Hello Assalamualaikum." My broom.

" Waalaikumsalam, mbak Lira arrogant how are you? since I got home, I never called." The voice of Citra rang out loud in my ears.

" I'm sorry Cit hehehehe."I grinned while scratching my head that didn't itch.

" When do you go home? kangen this." Chirps Spoiled Imagra.

" Just nyampe, it's time to go home, according to our agreement yesterday, God willing the 3rd day back." My answer.

After chatting via phone long enough with Citra, I finally hung up my phone.

...

The next day, I got ready for Alin's house. Borrowing my brother's motorcycle, I went there. Alin was waiting at his door. When I saw me parked the motorbike in the yard of his house, he immediately ran up to me.

We hugged each other tightly releasing longs, after a hug missed Alin immediately invited me to his room.

" Wahh, congratulations Lin, soon want to be a bride, I did not think I was stepped over." My God to Alin.

Alin just smiled shyly.

" Who is the male candidate?" Askaqua.

" Bentar again also came, I asked to pick up, to say we to the salon. Accompany me first yes, we are cream bath, same facial stretch." Celeste Alin.

I nodded enthusiastically, counting down while refreshing as well, my mind.

" Who knows with the bride-to-be nganterin, later to be met also Ra." Alin Imbuh.

" Amin amen, O God." I screamed as if I wanted to go to war. We finally laughed.

After changing clothes, Alin seemed to call someone who was most likely her future husband, I thought.

Sure enough, before long seemed a black jazz honda parked on the edge of Alin's yard.

"That's my candidate, yuuk we're there." Alin pulled my arm out of the room.

"Taraaaaaa Jeng Jeng..." Shouted Alin.

Alin brought me closer to the man.

Glekk...

I looked at the man standing in front of me, our eyes meeting each other.

The man looked a little surprised and immediately smiled clumsyly at me

Seriate...
