Earth Without Dusk
34. Dimas Visits the Dusk House

After talking to Bumi about the construction of the hospital, Dusk returned to his home. In front of the house, he found a car that he did not know. Maybe Mr. Andika's business partner's car, he thought.

As soon as Dusk entered the house, he found his mother was busy chatting with a man he knew.

So, in front of Dimas' car? What'd he come here for? Mumbled Dusk in the heart.

Huhhhhhhhhhhhh....

Dusk breathed a rough sigh. At the office was Marcel. Now Dimas came to his house. He did not understand what the thoughts of the two men were.

“Eh, Dusk. You're home yet? Come here, from earlier Dimas was waiting you know,” call his mother when he realized Dusk had returned home.

With a lazy step Dusk approached the two people and sat down next to his mother. On the table was a pink flower. Dusk can guess, it must be Dimas who brought it. The man was very happy to bring flowers.

“Dimas has been waiting for you since. Why did you just come home?” ask mother.

“Many works, Ma,” replied Dusk briefly.

“Don't be too tired to work! Don't over-examine your energy. You look just like your papa this way,” said his mother advising.

“Kan Dusk is indeed the son of Papa, it is natural that Dusk is like Papa,” replied Dusk.

“Yes, but you also have employees. Why are there employees if you are still working desperately,” replied his mother did not want to lose.

Twisting his eyes lazy. While Dimas refrained from laughing at the debate of mother and child in front of him. The interaction between them felt warm in Dimas' eyes. It seemed like Dusk was a child who was very close to his parents.

“You should take a lot of your time as well for your personal affairs. Like a walk or dinner outside with friends,” added his mother again.

Dusk guessed, this would be related to the existence of Dimas here.

“Mama to the point only, actually want to say something right?” ask Dusk.

“Iya, last Dimas here intends to invite you to dinner outside or watch in the cinema together,” replied his mother blatantly.

“You used my mama to approach me?” ask Dusk on Dimas.

“No, I didn't mean that. I just stopped by here. And if you're willing, I'll take you out. But if you don't want to, it doesn't matter. I am not forcing,” replied Dimas so that Dusk does not misunderstand him.

“I'm tired. I don't want to leave the house,” said Dusk.

“Ya already, then Dimas dinner here alone with us,” said his mother mediated.

“As for Mama, Dusk will go to the room first. Want to take a shower and clean up,” said Dusk then stand from his seat.

“Ya already, there. But don't wait too long, pity Dimas waiting here too long. We had dinner together,” his mother said again.

“Iya, Ma,” said Dusk lazily then went upstairs to his room.

“Dimas, you're patient, yes. That night does not like to be forced. You just have to approach her often. He's a good boy really,” Liliana told Dimas.

“If Auntie anyway, it doesn't matter you want to be in a relationship more than friends. The important thing is that you both accept each other,” said Liliana who invited a smile on the face of Dimas.

“Good, Aunt. For now, let us just live like this,” said Dimas.

Liliana also nodded at Dimas' words. Dimas did not think that the mother of Twilight was very good and easily accepted it. It's like a fresh breeze for Dimas. No matter Dusk is still indifferent to him, the important thing is that his mother has been supportive.

Dusk entered his room and threw his bag over the bed. He also threw himself there.

The shadows of the Earth as they were on the beach this afternoon reappeared. He remembered the time when he had embraced the Earth so tightly that he did not realize they had missed the setting sun.

"Eh, the sun has set" cried Dusk as he broke his embrace on Earth.

"Tomorrow can still see again" said Bumi casually.

"When I came here to see it" said Dusk.

"But there you even hugged me," said Bumi who made Dusk speechless. Being in his arms was indeed comfortable for Dusk.

"Sorry," the twilight is barely audible.

"Why sorry? If it makes you comfortable, I don't mind. This isn't the first time you've hugged me, is it?" ask Earth.

"Too often is not good either" replied Dusk.

"Why?" ask Earth to be curious.

"The one who should have the right to embrace you is Nesya."

Deg.

The earth immediately pegged. His heart strongly rejected the words of Dusk just now. But he could not deny that what Dusk said was true.

Bumi recalled the moment Nesya hugged him this afternoon, but he just felt dislike. In stark contrast to what he felt when Dusk hugged him, he did not want to let go.

Is that feeling wrong?

"It's getting dark, let's go home now!" Bumi deliberately diverted the conversation and took Dusk home.
