Women At the End of the Dusk

Not Want to Promise

..."I'm not going to promise something I can't prove yet. I do not forbid anyone to have any sense of me to fight for that sense because everything is normal for humans. But, I also have the right to vote and be principled."...

...-azalia Atmadja-i...

The shrill voice of the girl in white clothes sounded. The eyelids that were originally tightly closed now move as if trying to open.

Rafka patiently waited for the girl to wake up. "Lia?" call gently.

The object called out slowly opened his eyes. Neutralizes light entering the retina. "Where am I?" ask Azalia.

"You were at the campus clinic, you passed out. Your stomach acid goes up" Rafka said. "I'm sorry, because I had stomach acid you relapsed" he added, staring at Azalia's chocolate bead.

"It's not your fault. Thank you for bringing me here. I have to go now." Azalia had to go home soon, not wanting Sesil to be angry with her.

"You eat first, I've bought you food. Please don't refuse, it's for your good." With full softness Rafka helped Azalia to sit down.

Rafka does not let Azalia eat alone, she feeds the girl affectionately. Azalia refused, but Rafka insisted. He was forced to leave Rafka with his will.

Suddenly, Azalia's heart beat rapidly. 'Why me?' his inner.

His hand held the left chest while looking down, making Rafka look at him with eyebrows almost interlocked.

"You why? Is anyone sick? Can I get a doctor?" tanya Rafka who was returned by Azalia.

"really? Seriously?"

"Yes, Rafka."

"Yes, you ate again, yeah. Stay slightly. After that you I drop off and there's no rejection, period!"

Azalia exhaled a rough breath. He had to accept. Come to think of it, he's in between or not sure he'll still get angry.

"Thank you" Azalia said sincerely after the food ran out.

"Together." Rafka's hand reached out and rubbed Azalia's head.

Bagaskara still shines brightly among the clouds to the east, even though time has shown at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Azalia opened the car glass, letting the wind in on her face while staring at the streets of Jakarta's seemingly deserted capital and towering skyscrapers.

Fifteen minutes have passed, Rafka-driven cars will enter a residential complex occupied by the Azalia family.

Arriving at the fork, Azalia asked to stop. "Why? And then again until, loh. Just turn right, right?" ask Rafka.

"Yes, right. But, you better get home soon. Thanks for the ride. I'll walk home."

"Is it okay?" Rafka makes sure again and is replied to a nod by Azalia.

"All right." Rafka took a breath while filling the chest cavity with as much oxygen as possible. "Lia," call Rafka before the girl gets off.

Azalia turned her head, staring as if asking what was the matter. "Let me know whatever happens to you, yeah. About me loving you, that's true. Please, don't shy away let alone reject me when you don't try to open your heart. I hope you give me a chance to reach for your heart, Azalia," Rafka said, staring into the chocolate bead.

"I won't promise something I can't prove. I do not forbid anyone to have any sense of me to fight for that sense because everything is normal for humans. But, I also have the right to vote and be principled. I'm sorry if one day your feelings are still unrequited. Again, thanks for the ride. Excuse me." Azalia went out and walked towards her house. A house that was like hell to him.

While Rafka, he continued to stare at the girl's back until it disappeared in the junction.

"Maybe it's a hope that I can reach you? I hope so, Azalia," said Rafka.

Rafka drove at a moderate speed, leaving the residential complex of his girl puja.

"Fucking basics! Cheap girl! I told you to stay away from Rafka!" Sesil immediately grabbed Azalia's hair as soon as the girl arrived in front of the house.

"God, Sil. I've been trying to avoid. But he kept approaching me. Release, Sil. It hurts." Azalia tried to remove Sesil's hand from her hair, but could not. His strength that was still not strong enough was unable to resist.

Sesil immediately pushed Azalia until the girl fell down. Not there, Sesil immediately water Azalia using a water hose to water the plants.

"Sil, enough. Please, my body ... is not healthy", Azalia said stammered among the splashes of water that hit her face.

"Bodo very! My heart hurts more because you're too caper to Rafka. The reason you're classic until you pretend to faint!"

Azalia who could not stand it anymore immediately clenched her hands together. It felt like enough of his suffering all along. It is always wrong and must succumb, even on campus is often bullied so that the warehouse where he takes shelter after the first and second courses are completed.

Plaque!

The hard slap hit Azalia's smooth cheeks until it left a mark. Not the culprit but his mother.

"What did you say?" The question along with the pull on Azalia's hair made the empress look up at her mother.

The girl shook her head in fear, her tears flowing unstoppably. The guts that had been present instantly shrunk.

"Tell me what you said just now!" firmly Mama Lana while strengthening her jamb.

"How dare you be with my son that means you dare to fight me! I can kill you if you dare to fight in this house!" That stern and stressed sentence made Azalia even more afraid.

"Again, Ma. I ... I'll obey Mom. But please forgive me" Azalia said.

"Good, now you're cooking. I'm hungry!"

"Awas lo is still close to Rafka. I can do more than this!" firmly Sesil full of emphasis.

After saying that, Mama Lana and Sesil stepped into the house, leaving Azalia who looked extremely chaotic.

"God, why is my life like this? Why do Mama, Sesil, and Papa hate me? Brother Ilyas, I miss you," said Azalia.

Ilyas is her brother and Sesil who is now working abroad. Only Ilyas loved Azalia very much. The place where he complains and indulges. Until one day Ilyas said he would work abroad, Azalia's life was getting emptier.

Every human life is different, if on the one hand is crying lamenting destiny, will be inversely proportional to the side that is feeling happiness and laughing without burden.

Bagaskara slowly pulled over on the western horizon, a sign that the goddess of the night was about to come. The chirping of birds adds to the wonderful atmosphere this afternoon.

A car has been parked pretty in the garage of a house that looks quite luxurious. A young man came out of the black car with glasses perched on his nose.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Grace," he said to the security guard at the house.

"So afternoon, Mas Rafka," said Mr. Grace.

Rafka whistled as she walked into the house. "Yuhu! Spadaa! The most handsome son of Mother Kingdom and Father Azka Pulaaang. Please welcome, dong," cried Rafka made her newly arrived father immediately behind her ear.

"Ouch, ouch. Woy, I'm sick tofu!" decak Rafka's.

"Whose behavior, anyway, this...." Rafka's guts instantly shrieked when she found out who did it. His voice shrank at the end.

The father stared straight at him. "What's? Don't accept his ears being scratched? You go into the house instead of saying greetings instead of playing screaming like orangutans," upset Azka's father.

"Jewer again, Dad. If you need to remove his ear," ledek Rangga who just from the kitchen—adik Rafka—and laugh

"Silence lo bocil!" ketus Rafka's.

"Dih, the leak shouts. If it is not leaked, it is impossible to be single until the world now, Kak," ridiculed Rangga while running and laughing out loud.

While the mocked look very upset, if there were no father they might have shouted.

"What's this about? Why are you standing here, anyway?" ask Bunda Raya.

"That son of yours, Bun. Already like an orangutan, enter the house screaming," upset Azka's father, then stepped into the room.

"Hahaha, Big brother orangutan said Father. What do his face orangutans look like, huh, Mommy?" Cahya, her youngest sister who is still in elementary school, mocked Rafka.

Cahya who saw the brother getting upset immediately ran while sticking his tongue towards Rafka.

"Bun, I was bullied with them. No intention of defending that?" rafka with as much face as possible.

"No! Mother wonder also the same you. At home, you are upsetting me. His effective attitude is sometimes not stoic. Mother wondered what if you had a boyfriend. Oh, or maybe you're single because of your tough attitude, huh? That's why no one girl can," said Bunda Raya in one breath.

'It's really my bundle isn't it, anyway? It could be that his handsome son is said to be rancid. Where plus singles anyway, although true, anyway. Uh, but no longer will be single," inner Rafka.

"Ka ...."

"Bun, I'm tired of taking a break, yeah. Nagelnya continued at night or not tomorrow morning." Rafka immediately cut off the words of her mother and went to her room on the second floor.

'Mas Azka said it was my son. But, when diomelin nature kayak him. There are, yes, angry people are told to stop and continue again for a moment. Haish! Dizziness me for a long time.' Bunda Raya shook her head to see the behavior of her small family. But even so, they remain happy.
