Earth Without Dusk
118. 60 Days Passed Without You

Sixty days had passed. Those sixty days had accumulated millions of longing that stifled the chest. But the man is still faithful, waiting for his comatose lover to open his eyes.

Do you know what the cure is? It is when the two eyes meet each other. That's enough to just let go of the miss. But that was exactly the thing he was waiting for the most.

The condition of the Earth is getting worse no longer. I don't know where the loss of Young Master Dirgantara who is dashing and always look neat with a suit that is certainly not cheap. The body that is sturdy because of diligent exercise now looks paler and thinner. His face was filled with hair that filled his jaw and chin. Her hair was longer and rarely neatly combed. And look at his two eyes, his eyes more sunken filled with dark circles around him due to lack of sleep both night and day.

As much as possible he forced himself to stay awake, so that when Dusk opened his eyes, then he was the first to know. Sitting quietly on a chair looking at the body whose soul is wandering, became a routine for the Earth for the past two months. The more he spoke less and less with those around him. Every day that is in his head only think of one thing, namely the conscious twilight of his coma.

Although sixty days had passed, but he was still faithfully waiting.

Jefri walks into the room and sees breakfast for Earth untouched at all on the table. Nothing less is reduced. This shows the lunch hour. Jefri with the new food he brought approached his master who was still faithful to sit on the chair as usual.

“Master, I brought you lunch for Sir. This is your favorite food. You better eat first, let me change guard here,” said Jefri trying to persuade his young master.

Bumi only shook her head without looking at Jefri.

“Or do you want to eat here? Let me set up the table, Sir,” Jefri is still trying again.

Bumi shook his head again, making Jefri confused about what to do.

“Master, do you want anything? Want to drink or eat something else maybe? Sir want some cake? Or fruit? Or...”

“Cherry,” reply Earth slowly.

“Sorry, what do you want?” asked Jefri who did not really hear the words of the Earth.

“Cherry and strawberry. I want it,” reset Earth again.

“Good, Sir. What do you want in your juice, sir?”

“No. Cherry and strawberry,” reply Earth again.

“Good, Sir. I'll buy it now. Sir wait here for a moment,” Jefri said in a hurry. While there was something asked by his master, Jefri felt that this was a rare thing. He should immediately look for these fruits.

In a hurry Jefri went to the nearest shopping center and bought the best quality cherry and strawberry fruit there. After getting it, Jefri immediately returned to the hospital.

“Master, these are the fruits that Sir ordered. Let me wash everything first,” Jefri said then immediately wash all the fruits and give them to Earth.

When Earth saw the cherry and strawberry in front of her eyes, her memory returned to the time when she was with Dusk on the beach first.

“I..ingin cherry and strawberry.”

“Oh, it's in the car. You want to eat it now?”

“Iya, I want it now. But not the one in the car.”

“Cherry and strawberry which do you mean?”

“This one.”

A drop of his tears just came down from the eye fertilizer remembering that sweet memory. He took the cherry and strawberry and started eating them one by one.

It feels different, Dusk. The sweetness is no longer the same. Mumbles the Earth in the heart while continuing to eat those fruits.

Jefri was stunned to see the scene in front of him. Jefri believes there is a story behind the cherry and strawberry itself. Because the young master had also specifically ordered bracelets with ornaments in the form of cherry and strawberry.

Meanwhile the Earth continues to eat these fruits while looking towards Dusk. He simply ate the fruits without enjoying the taste. There was water from strawberries smudged around his lips he ignored, he just continued to eat and eat. Even Jefri who took the initiative to occasionally wipe the water affected by the beard of his master. Yes, his face is now overgrown with unkempt hair.

While the Earth was eating the fruits, Liliana came to visit Dusk and brought soup to Earth. This afternoon Andika did not accompany him because there was business to be done. Two months back and forth to the hospital, making Andika and Liliana more familiar with Earth. They already consider Earth like their own daughter-in-law. They have also been talking about themselves as Papa and Mama, not Mr and Madam as before.

Liliana noticed that there were several boxes of food still intact on the table. The earth looks still cool with its cherry and strawberry. While Jefri faithfully stood beside his master while occasionally helping to clean up the remaining fruit that was attached.

“Has she not eaten yet?” liliana asked Jefri half in a whisper.

“Numbered, Mistress. Young Master even asked for cherry and strawberry fruit. From earlier just want to eat it,” replied Jefri.

“You yourself have lunch?”

“Numbers, Mistress.”

“Yes already, you eat first. Let me be here.”

“Good, Mistress. Thanks though. If there is anything, Madam can contact me immediately.”

“Iya, don't worry!”

Jefri came out to fill his stomach. While he was trying to get close to Earth.

“Earth, have already eaten the fruit. Eating too much fruit is not good. Mama brought you soup,” said Liliana.

The earth stopped eating and turned towards Liliana. “I ate this only,” sahut Bumi while showing strawberry in his hand and he continued to eat it again.

“You should also eat another. Your body is so thin. Mama cooks her favorite food. Chicken soup. Dusk used to really like to eat soup made by Mama,” said Liliana again who made the Earth stop eating it.

“Senja likes chicken soup?” ask Earth.

Liliana nodded as well. “Yes, he likes it. He can run out two bowls by himself if you eat soup made by Mama. You eat too, yeah. Cobain the soup. You must like it. Mumpung is still warm,” replied Liliana while trying to persuade Earth.

Finally the Earth nodded. “But I want to eat here.”

“Bby. Mom get me a minute.”

Liliana was happy that Earth would also be persuaded by her. He immediately gave his chicken soup to Earth. Seeing the Earth want to eat her cooking, there was sadness in Liliana's heart. He remembered the night that Dusk had an accident, when Dusk had not had time to eat his chicken soup.
