Earth Without Dusk
3. Protecting you

Dusk walked quickly to his car. He did not want to see Riko again and planned to go straight home. He wanted to complain about Riko's actions to his mother. When he was in front of his car, he just remembered that his bag was still left inside.

“Yeah, why did I forget to take my bag and leave Viona there? This is all because of that jerk Riko,” umpat Dusk while patting his eel.

As he turned around to return to the restaurant, suddenly Riko appeared in front of him with a grinning face. Dusk is somewhat surprised by Riko's whereabouts, but he pretends to stay calm.

“Who was that you said jerk?” riko asked with a sharp look towards Dusk.

“Who else if not you!” answer Dusk ketus.

“Wah, gee, gee, you're the first woman to say to me. I became more curious about you, Dusk,” said Riko while watching Dusk from top to bottom, making Dusk roll his eyeballs lazily.

“I have no more business with you, so it is better to get out of my sight!” tell Dusk.

But Riko's not her name if she complies with Dusk's request. The more fierce the Dusk, the more challenged he was to approach the Dusk.

“Talking to you is just a waste of time,” said Dusk again then planned to leave in front of Riko.

When Dusk just stepped his foot, Riko suddenly pulled the hand of Dusk violently. Getting such treatment made Dusk wriggle for release, but his request was not granted by Riko.

“Let me go! I can shout let people beat you,” threatened Dusk.

“Please, I'll say you're my girlfriend who's having a snack. Easy right? Besides, if you scream here, aren't you ashamed that they know you're Mr Andika Wijaya's daughter?”

“I don't care.  Let go of me or I'll really scream now!”

Instead of letting go even Riko more tightly gripped the wrist of Dusk until flushed. Until finally a voice approached them.

“Let go of him!”

Dusk and Riko turned to the source of the voice. It turns out that it was the voice of the Earth that asked Riko to let go of Dusk. Earth approached them and looked at Riko with intimidation.

“I don't like to repeat my words. So let her go and you go now!” decree Earth.

Loh, he wasn't that guy? Why is he here too? Why is he meddling in my business with Riko? Does he want to protect me? Ask Dusk in your heart.

“Who do you think you are? Don't interfere in my business and him! She is my future wife,” said Riko.

“No. You don't make up stories! Don't dream of having a wife like me!” protest the twilight quickly.

Earth saw Riko still holding her hand tightly until the woman grimaced in pain. Without saying much more, the Earth brushed off Riko's hand until her grip slipped off and pulled the Dusk with one hand and grabbed her.

The movement of the Earth is so fast that it makes Dusk who is now in his arms so astonished. Dusk can inhale the fragrant masculine scent of the Earth. The smell really calms him. He felt comfortable in the earth. Unknowingly he wrapped his hands around the waist of the Earth.

Deg. The Earth was a bit surprised as it felt the twilight hand coiling around its waist. It was the first time she was hugged by a woman other than her mother. But his facial expression was ordinary. Maybe Dusk was just scared, he thought.

Riko herself was confused by the two humans in front of her. It could be now Dusk moved in the Earth's arms. Dusk had just returned from abroad and had no lover. Who is the man he hugged?

“Hey you! She's my future wife. Don't interfere in our affairs!” yell Riko.

The earth just snorted hearing Riko's speech. Riko is increasingly upset by Earth's treatment of him. He feels ignored. Riko who always felt great did not accept herself being treated like that. He also gripped the collar of the Earth suit with one hand very firmly.

As soon as Riko was seen clutching the lapel of the Earth suit, with a quick movement of five tall and stocky Earth bodyguards surrounded them. And one of them is Jefri the Earth assistant.

Riko was stifled to see that there were already many burly men surrounding him. He swallowed his saliva heavily. But he tried not to be afraid and remained calm.

“Remove your filthy hands from Young Master's suit! Get out of here if you still love your life!” jefri said with intimidation.

“You think I'm afraid of you guys? Huh huh? I also have men who can finish you off,” said Riko back threatening but his grip on the Earth suit has loosened.

The Earth can sense that Riko has begun to fear. With one hand he brushed off Riko's hand from his suit. Riko didn't fight. He was just being treated like that.

“This is the second time I warned you to leave,” Jefri said again.

Damn*n! I'm outnumbered by them. It could be battered if I don't leave right now. Inner Riko.

“All right this time I'm going. But next time don't expect me to let you go, Senjaku,” Riko said in a threatening tone.

So his name is Dusk. Inner Earth.

Riko glanced at Earth again at a glance then he left the place with a grudge in his heart. He was humiliated twice. First in the restaurant by Dusk. Both are parked by Earth and its bodyguards.

After Riko left, Dusk still held the Earth tightly. He was too comfortable in that position.

“Ekhem.” The earth cleared up trying to resuscitate Dusk. But the insinuated still remains in his position.

Jefri knew the young man was coding. But Dusk is not sensitive. Jefri was confused as to how. He himself was quite surprised that there was a woman who managed to hug his Young Master.

“Is my hug too comfortable until you don't want to take it off?”

The Earth finally said it directly. The twilight dawned and looked up. At the same time, the Earth looked down. Their eyes met each other.

Earth can see the face of Dusk from a closer distance than before. He dives into both twilight eyeballs that are very beautiful for him. The beauty of Dusk's face managed to hypnotize him.

Even with Dusk, he was stunned to see the perfect good looks of the Earth. His sharp gaze was able to bewitch Dusk to nothing.

For a few seconds they were silent in such a position. The bodyguards were witnesses of romance between the two of them.

“A satisfied looking at me?” ask Earth.

Dusk blinked his eyes several times as if he had just regained consciousness from his long daydream. Then he realized he was embracing the Earth. He also released his hand that was coiled around the waist of the Earth.

“You, why did you interfere in my and Riko's affairs? Do you know him too?” ask Dusk suddenly.

The earth does not answer. He turned his body about to leave that place. Again, Dusk shouted to stop him.

“Wait! I was talking to you. Why do you like to leave me alone, anyway? I asked why you were meddling in my business?” ask Dusk again.

“To protect you,” answered the Earth without turning towards Dusk. Then the Earth resumed its steps followed by its bodyguards leaving Dusk alone there.

“Protect me?”
