Earth Without Dusk
43. Escape From Earth
Since the incident at Nesya's apartment, Dusk became more silent. The new reality he knew made him always restless. He was nervous what if his father knew that his uncle had another wife, surely their extended family would be very disappointed.
He also remembered about Earth. Nesya asks him to keep what he knows from Earth a secret. Not enough to get there, when Nesya says Earth is her last happiness makes Dusk feel guilty if he takes Earth from Nesya. Nah! Dusk does not bear to take the happiness of others, let alone his own family.
The twilight that had just dawned on her daydream tried to call her uncle's office. He wanted to find out if his uncle was out of work.
“Hallo. I Senja Wijaya. Can you please connect me with Mr Adrian?”
“Sorry, Miss Dusk. Mr. Adrian is taking a leave of absence for the next three days.”
“Cuti? Is there any work outside the city?”
“Not, Miss. It's a personal leave. Mr. Adrian said there was family business. Would Miss like to send a message?”
“No, no need. I just called his phone. Oh yeah, please don't tell anyone I called. Optimized.”
The call was also switched off. Now Dusk is increasingly convinced that something is wrong with the Adrian family. Yesterday Tari said that Adrian went for office business, now his secretary said that Adrian took a leave of absence for personal matters.
“Huuhhhhhh, it seems like Brother Nesya is not lying about this. Their family is not okay.”
Dusk leaned back and closed his eyes for a moment. His head was suddenly dizzy thinking about his uncle's family matter. Until now he still did not expect his uncle to have another wife out there.
The phone in his room sounded. Apparently the one who called was his father.
“Hallo.”
“Senja, this is Papa. Later you will handle meetings with the Aerospace company, right?” ask Andika.
“No, Pa. Dusk can't be for today. Dusk there is a meeting outside.” Dusk quickly lied when he heard the name Dirgantara.
“Iya, Pa. Meeting with Mr. Riyoshi. Time to clash with the meeting of the Aerospace company. So, Papa's the handle, yeah. Sorry, Pa.”
“Oh, okay. Doesn't matter. Then Papa closes the phone first.”
“Okay, Pa.”
He looked at his watch. Soon Bumi and his assistant will arrive at his company. Dusk does not want to meet the Earth first for a while. He quickly closed the laptop and grabbed his bag and left.

“Master, it's Miss Dusk's car.” Jefri pointed to the car that had just come out of the gate of the Wijaya company, while they had just arrived there.
The earth looks in the direction in question. Right, it was indeed a Twilight car.
Why'd he leave? Shouldn't he be at a meeting with me? Ask the Earth in your heart.
“So, how about Mister?” ask Jefri.
“We will keep meeting with their company. Maybe this time we will meet with Mr. Andika,” replied the real Earth was disappointed because it could not see Dusk.
Not that Dusk didn't know there was an Earth car there when he was about to get out. But he couldn't meet Earth for a while. He was worried that he could not help his feelings if he was near Earth. For that he decided to dodge from Earth for a while.
I'm sorry, we better not meet first...
