Earth Without Dusk
12. Dilemmas

Dinner is over. They are now gathering in the living room to discuss business and matchmaking issues. Dusk, who was still shocked by this matchmaking, chose to seclude himself to the backyard.

It was not the matchmaking that surprised him, but the man who became his match Nesya who made it so. If I'm honest, he's still not willing that the man who was betrothed to Nesya was the man who had been playing on his mind. The man he had called his Guardian Angel.

Sitting in a chair in the back yard. He leaned his back and raised his head up into the sky. At that time the moon looked full and shone very brightly with stars scattered around it. He imagined that the moon was the Earth and the stars were women around the Earth including himself and Nesya.

“Huhhhh...” Dusk breathed heavily.  

“I thought the world was vast, but it wasn't wide enough for my destiny. How narrow is this world until the man I want is the same as the man my cousin has betrothed?”

Dusk fixed his seat. He closed his eyes feeling the night wind that was blowing slowly against his body. He remembered the first time he met Earth. At that time they seemed equally unwilling if they had to meet again. But like eating their own words, they meet almost every day. Even today he always wanted to meet the Earth.

“Why am I stuck on a fate that always brings us back together? What's the universe plan behind all this?”

“No, I don't want to. I don't want to be stuck in this situation,” said Dusk half-screaming.  

Suddenly a voice surprised him from behind.

“Stuck like what?” ask someone who is none other than Dimas.

“You? Since when are you here? Why not join the others inside?” ask Dusk to Dimas who was sitting next to him.  

“You yourself why are you here?” dimas said back to asking.

“Hey, I asked first. Don't ask back!” grunts Dusk.

“Iya, yes, just get angry,” Dimas said with a chuckle. “I'm bored inside. Don't know what to talk about. After all this is about the matchmaking of Nesya and Kak Bumi. Let them talk about it,” continued Dimas.

“So you're his sister Mr Earth, huh?” ask Dusk.

“Iya, sister. We are actually different fathers and different mothers, but Bima's father is very good to me and considers me like his own biological son.”

“If Mr Earth? Is he nice to you too?”

“You are so funny to call him Mr. Earth. He was also kind, but he rarely spoke. He is always busy with his business.”

“Really?”

Dimas nodded. “You seem interested in him. Did you know him before?”

“Ah, no. Just ordinary. I also do not know him,” said Dusk berkilah, even though he had met with Earth several times.

“Oh, so. Oh yes, we have not met directly. Introduce, I'm Dimas,” Dimas said as he extended his hand.

Dusk immediately greeted him and then released him again.

“Hey, why didn't you say anything? You should also introduce your name Dusk,” asked Dimas.

“Create what? That you already know what my name is,” replied Dusk indifferently, he deliberately prank Dimas.

Dimas laughed at the twilight. “I didn't expect you to be annoying either,” said Dimas.

“You're more annoying,” reply Dusk.

“You.”

“You.”

Then they chuckled together because of the ridiculousness they made.

From a distance there was a pair of eyes that noticed their closeness. Dusk seemed to laugh freely with Dimas. There was envy in the minds of the men who saw their togetherness. I don't know why he wanted to replace Dimas there. 

That man is Earth. He deliberately looked for the existence of Dusk when he realized the girl did not gather together in the front room. He also planned to chat a little with Dusk about who he had been all this time that was unknown to Dusk. But the plan didn't seem to work. Dusk even cool chatting with his sister, Dimas.

Twilight Eyes make perfect when the interesting tau is Earth.

“I want to talk to you, can you not scream?” ask the Earth with her hand that still closes the mouth of Dusk.

The twilight that had been shocked slowly calmed down then nodded its head. Only then did Earth pull her hand back, but she did not change her position. The distance between them is very thin. Even when speaking, the mint scent of the breath of the Earth can be felt by the sense of smell of Dusk.

“Why do you always come suddenly?” ask Dusk in a soft voice so that others do not hear them.

“Always? Is it that often I come with a sudden you?” The earth asked back.

His face suddenly turned cloudy. She recalled meeting him several times before she knew that Earth was her cousin's future husband.

“Why silent?” ask Earth again when you see Dusk does not answer. The girl in front of him just silently looked at the face of the Earth.

“Didn't you come around quite often and help me?” ask Dusk later. “Although now the conditions are different,” continued Dusk with a clean.

There was a pain that he felt when he recalled that the man in front of him was his cousin's future husband. This fact is very painful for the Sun. He had already placed his hopes on the Guardian Angel.

“Nothing is different. In the past, now, or whenever nothing has changed,” denies the Earth. “I will always be your Guardian Angel as you said a few days ago,” connect Earth.

Dusk smiled bitterly. Where possible Earth will continue to protect her while there are other women she must pay attention to. And the woman was not Dusk, but her cousin, Nesya.

“I can protect myself,” said Dusk holding tightness in the chest.

“You can't without me,” refute the Earth.

“Do not make ambiguous statements! What do you mean I can't without you? You're my cousin's future husband. All you have to protect is him, not me,” said Dusk.

“I'm quite capable of protecting you both.” The earth remains in its position.

Dusk smiled cynically looking at the Earth.

“Please give me a reason why you insist on always protecting me!”

Deg.

The earth was stunned by the question of Dusk. He was suddenly confused. He also does not know why he really wants to protect Dusk and will continue to protect him. In fact he always wanted to keep Dusk and make sure the girl was always in good shape.  

“Can't answer, Mr Bumi Langit Aerospace?” tanya Dusk who mentioned the name of the Earth with great emphasis.

“Why didn't you tell me from the beginning that you're Young Aerospace Master? Why?” ask Dusk again.

“You were disappointed when you found out I was Young Master of Aerospace?” the Earth asked back.

Yes, I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed that I already hoped to be close to you because I didn't know you were my cousin's future husband. I already liked you but unfortunately there was a separation wall that was too high for me to go through, and that wall was my own cousin.

“Yes, I am disappointed that you always hid your name from me,” replied Dusk.

 “What difference do you know who I was then or now? I want nothing to change between us. Keep thinking of me as your Guardian Angel. Never change your attitude towards me, Dusk!”

Dusk pushes the Earth to provide a wider distance between them.

“Take it easy. Nothing will change between us. We will remain two strangers who do not know each other,” said Dusk firmly.

The earth was stunned to hear the twilight speech. What does it mean that he considers them strangers? Doesn't Dusk feel they've started to have closeness?

Dusk won't linger there anymore. He immediately left the silent Earth. He also did not want Bumi to know that he already liked the Guardian Angel.

After Dusk, the Earth rests on the wall. It's a dilemma. Why does it feel like the connection with Dusk is getting away? But they should be closer because of their family relationships that will be united.

Nesya? After a long time not meeting him, it turns out that today his feelings are normal for the woman. Even from earlier that always seized his attention was Dusk. Twilight, and only Dusk. Was it true that he continued his match with Nesya while he was always thinking of Dusk?

Seriate...
