Earth Without Dusk
39. Stop Discussing Personal Issues

That day Dusk joined his father to attend a lunch event by his business partners.Many of the great businessmen in the country who gathered there. Of course, representatives from the Aerospace company, namely Bumi, were present at the event.

No wonder the Earth is there. Who does not know him and does not invite him. But what surprised Dusk was the presence of Marcel at the event. Marcel was a new businessman there, but he was invited to the event.

“It's great to meet you here, Baby,” said Marcel as he approached Dusk on his own to grab a drink.

“Don't call me that! You can't tell which business event and which one isn't?”

It's true what Dusk thought from the beginning he saw Marcel there. That guy must be bothering her.

“Okay, okay. No need to get angry,” Marcel said as he raised both his hands.

“You're used to attending events like this?” ask Marcel again.

“You are very noisy,” ketus Dusk while sipping the drink he took.

“Come on, Dusk. Why do you always sniff at me? What wrong? I never did anything bad to you, did I?”

“You ask what is your fault? Your fault because you always appear before me,” replied Dusk deliberately insinuating Marcel. But even the insinuated do not know shame.

“That means we are fooled. See now. We were found again at this show. Why don't you try to accept me in your heart?” marcel asked without caring about the careless Dusk looking at him.

“Stop discussing personal issues. I'm here with my papa on business.”

“If you can discuss both why not? I chased you not for two days at dusk, but for years. But you're still indifferent to me.”

“You chased me but you slept with another woman. Crazyhead! I'm still sane. If I'm crazy, maybe I'll consider your offer,” said Dusk.

The lazy twilight catches Marcel planning to go join his father, but suddenly Marcel holds the arm of the Twilight to hold him.

“What do I need to do to open your heart to me, Baby?” ask Marcel.

“Get rid of your hands, Mister!”

Dusk and Marcel immediately turned to the source of the voice. It turns out it was Earth. The Earth has been watching the twilight motion secretly. When he saw Marcel starting to mess with Dusk, he immediately approached them.

“You..”

“Let go of your hands!” rework the Earth in an intimidating tone.

“Oh, i-iya, sorry Sir,” said Marcel stammered and immediately let go of Dusk's hand.

“Do not misunderstand, Sir. I didn't mean bad. We know each other anyway. Is it Dusk?” marcel said in self-defense. Seeing the Earth continue to look at him sharply made Marcel's guts shrink.

“Do not repeat again your actions or you will face me!” said Earth with a threatening tone.

“Good, Sir. I'm sorry,” replied Marcel quickly.

Earth did not retaliate again, she clasped Dusk's hand and took him away from Marcel's presence. Dusk had turned to look at Marcel who was not wrinkled in front of the Earth, then stuck out his tongue at a glance mocking Marcel.

It was the Aerospace Earth that was betrothed to Nesya. Why does he look so close to Dusk?  But actually than with Nesya, she was indeed more suited to Dusk. Marcel continued to look at those who continued to walk hand in hand with a suspicious look.

Some business associates who saw the closeness of the two of them also felt like there was something between Earth and Dusk. Some of them were seen gossiping until it was heard into the ears of Andika, the father of Twilight.

“Master, isn't that Mr Andika's daughter?” asked one of the business associates while pointing to Earth and Dusk with his chin.

Andika looked in the direction in question. It is true that he saw the Earth holding the hand of Dusk. They were walking outside the room.

“Oh, yes. It was indeed the twilight of my son,” replied Andika.

“And the only Young Aerospace Master, right? They look very harmonious. Why not just get them? Both of them understand business. Very compatible,” asked the others anyway.

“Yes, that's right. I concur. All this time Young Master Aerospace has never been seen close to any woman. Isn't this a good opportunity if they have a relationship?” the first person asked.

“Who, Mister?”

“Nese. Princess Adrian. My niece, which means cousin of Dusk,” replied Andika.

The two men looked at each other.

“Nesya? Which artist is it?”

“Not. He's not an artist. But his friends are many from among artists indeed.”

“Oh, so. Too bad. Whereas if with Dusk daughter Mr. Andika, I think it will be more suitable.”

"Yes, I agree. They're more suitable."

Andika smiled clumsyly. For some reason in his heart also confirmed it. But he must not be selfish, Earth has been betrothed to Nesya, his own nephew. He could not have robbed his nephew of happiness.

“Nesya is also a good boy. He also matched the Aerospace Young Master. Never mind, we're even discussing personal matters. Though I was about to ask about our project,” said Andika while joking so that they immediately switched the topic of conversation.

While Dusk itself is confused because the Earth continues to pull it out of the room.

“Hey, wait. Why did we leave that room?” ask Dusk while stopping his steps.

“Why do you think?" The earth asked back.

"You're a bitch too. I throw a question, you ask back" said Dusk with a pursed lip. Then he pulled out his hand that was grasped by the Earth.

Seeing the expression of Dusk is very funny according to the Earth, he could not bear to not smile.

"You're so funny. Don't frown, you look like a duck," ledek Earth.

"You can call people too apparently? Wow.It turns out you're a normal human being," said Dusk back to Earth.

"Why did you say that? I am a normal human being" asked Earth.

"But you're always flat-faced. You're also very irritable when you talk. So I guess you're always serious and never kidding" replied Dusk.

"I'm not kidding. If you pout like that, your face looks like a duck."

"You..you say to me again?" said Dusk while gagging his waist.

The earth lowered her arms so as not to gag her waist.

"Don't buckle your waist like that! You're just like a market thug" Bumi said.

"Just be wild. Why are you the sewot?"

"Here, don't pout anymore! Want me to call a duck?"

"Call it, at least I won't say anything" replied Dusk curiously.

The earth is getting more and more anxious with the behavior of Dusk. He pulled his twilight nose with anxiety until Dusk grimaced.

"It hurts...."

"Just be it."

They playfully joke around with each other until they are unaware that Dusk's father is watching them from afar. Andika was astonished by the closeness of the two of them. Many questions came to his mind.

Do they really have any other relationships besides business relationships? Why do they look so close. The earth was no longer a quiet figure as usual. He looks more supple with Dusk. Likewise with Dusk. He was even more familiar with Earth compared to Dimas. Maybe they are......
