Earth Without Dusk
56. Mutually Jealous

“Loh, you?” say twilight to the person he just hit.

“You're here too? Visiting Nesya right?” ask the person in front of him who is none other than Dimas. Dimas was about to visit Nesya with a flower in his hand.

“Iya, I just got from there,” replied Dusk.

Dimas saw Dusk still carrying a bouquet of flowers. He feels weird. Why did Dusk still bring the bouquet of flowers and not give it to Nesya?

“Then why are you still carrying those flowers? That's not for Nesya?” tanya Dimas was suspicious.

“Oh, this. Yes this is for Sister Nesya,” replied Dusk half nervous. He did not want to tell the truth that there was still Earth there that made him not come to visit Nesya.

“Trus? You didn't give it to him?” tanya Dimas again seemed dissatisfied with the answer Dusk.

Dusk rolled his eyes panted. “You're beating journalists, ask a lot! Inside there is Earth. I don't want to interrupt his time with Sister Nesya.” Want to not want Dusk finally telling the truth too.

“Well, if you answer like that, I will not ask again. Yes, then let's go inside together! I know you must feel uncomfortable going there alone, so let me keep you company.”

“Eh, but..”.

“Already, come!”

Dimas immediately pulled the hand of Dusk and invited him to visit Nesya. Dimas knows, Dusk will not be able to see Earth and Nesya alone there.

Jefri who was waiting in front of the room frowned when he saw Dusk back again. Even this time Dusk is not alone but with Dimas. Jefri bowed respectfully to the two of them.

Dimas casually opened the door to Nesya's room and saw that there was indeed Nesya and her brother there, but this time they did not embrace anymore.

“Dimas? Dusk?” nesya muttered half surprised to see them coming together.

The earth that was sitting on the chair leading to Nesya immediately turned its back to look towards the door.

Deg.

His heart skipped a beat as his eyes caught the figure of the girl he longed for in silence. Someone he hasn't seen in days. Who else if not Dusk. He could barely even see Dimas' whereabouts there if his sister had no voice.

“How are you doing Nesya? How are you doing?” ask Dimas for pleasantries while approaching the bed on the other side opposite the Earth.

The twilight left behind was confused. Does he have to follow Dimas? Why did he suddenly feel this awkward? Especially when he feels that someone is looking at him deeply. It felt like he was getting less and less moved.

The earth stood up from its seat. He pulled the chair for Dusk to sit there.

“Sit down,” Earth says while looking towards Dusk.

Only then did Dusk raise his face so that their gazes could meet for a few seconds. It felt like Dusk would not be able to stare at that face for much longer. He looked down again as he walked to the chair that Earth had prepared for him.

“Thank you,” replied Dusk briefly.

The earth turned to sit on the sofa that was there. This time his eyes turned to look at Dimas. The question popped up in his head, did they accidentally come together?

“I've been sniffing. Thanks Dimas, Dusk, for visiting me. You guys aren't busy? I do not want to disturb your working hours,” replied Nesya while looking at Dusk and Dimas alternately.

“No, Brother. I don't have any business that's so important right now. No need to worry,” said Dusk kindly.

“You guys came together?” ask Nesya.

“Iya. We came together. Previously we had called first to come here,” replied Dimas quickly.

Dusk glanced at Dimas, but Dimas looked indifferent. Dimas even stole a glance towards Earth. As he expected, Earth stared at him sharply. Does Earth not like them coming together? Sometimes Dimas is a bit difficult to interpret the gaze of his brother who always pierced it.

“Wah, again thank you very much, yes. You guys bother to visit me here,” said Nesya again.

“No problem, Brother. Oh yeah, why did Nesya fall down the stairs? What's the ladder slippery?” ask Dusk.

“Bu-not. At that time I was still in a sleepy state, and then I wanted to go down to the kitchen to get a drink. Because it is still half conscious, so accidentally slipped,” replied Nesya lying.

“You're like a drunken person only half conscious. Next time be careful again Nesya, it's a danger for you,” said Dimas who made Nesya suddenly pale.

He did not expect Dimas would mention all drunkenness. From then on no one talked about it.

“Ah, yes. Next time I'll be careful,” Nesya said clumsily.

“By the way would you like to drink something?” tawar Nesya diverted the conversation.

“Bby. I haven't had a drink since. Dusk you drink too? Or are we drinking in the cafeteria together? Drinking juice during the day like this seems good,” asked Dimas at dusk while provoking the reaction of the Earth.

“Jef!” call Earth to his assistant.

The summoned one immediately went inside. “Iya, Sir. Do you need anything?” ask Jefri.

“Please buy these two thirsty people juice!” answer the Earth while insinuating. 

“Good, Sir. Miss Dusk want to drink what juice?” jefri asked kindly.

“I melon juice,” Dimas replied with vigor.

“Oh, fine, Sir. Miss?”

“Juice orange only. Sorry yes, inconvenience you,” said Dusk kindly while smiling at Jefri.

“No problem, Miss,” Jefri said while returning a smile Dusk.

As soon as his eyes turned to his master, his smile immediately faded. He did not dare to stay there longer and immediately went out of the room to buy juice.

“This I have brought flowers for you,” said Dimas break the quiet atmosphere there while giving flowers to Nesya.

Dusk also gave the flower that he had brought and placed it on the nightstand next to the fruit hampers from Earth.

Uh, whose fruit is this? Did Earth take him? Dusk had a glance at the greeting card there, it turned out to be true that.....

He almost laughed when he read it. The period of yes visiting his own prospective fiancee must be written from PT. The aerospace? Just be right! Not romantic at all. Dusk did not know who ordered the hampers was Jefri.

 Soon Jefri returned with two juices in his hand. Dimas and Dusk are now sitting on the sofa to enjoy their juice, while Bumi switches to sitting on a chair by the bed.

“Mmm..favour the juice! Fresh!” said Dimas.

“You seem fresh too,” added Dimas while looking at the juice that Dusk drank.

“Yes, very fresh. Not too sweet. You want to try?” The intention of the Twilight heart is just a pleasant talk but who would have thought Dimas even seriously responded to it.

“Bby,” Dimas replied casually.

Dimas also approached at Dusk to drink juice belonging to Dusk. At that time also the Earth cursed in the heart not to let Dimas dare to drink drinks belonging to Dusk, let alone have to use a straw used twilight drinking. Nah! He's not willing!

But Dimas casually drank Dusk's juice from a straw from the mouth of Dusk's mouth. It's just getting sweeter for Dimas. While the Earth has clenched its hands furiously like wanting to eliminate Dimas from the face of the earth.

“Mmm yes! Your orange juice is fresh too!” dimas said without feeling guilty.

“Earth, I'm so thirsty also see them drinking. Can you please help me drink?” pinta Nesya on Earth.

Earth is actually lazy. But he was forced to help Nesya who was being infused by his hand. He took a drink on the nightstand and helped Nesya to drink it.

If the Earth was jealous of Dimas, this time Dusk was also jealous to see the Earth help Nesya drink. They were both jealous of each other in silence.

After helping Nesya drink, Bumi looked at her watch. It seems he has to go back to the company.

“I have to go back to the office. There is still a lot of work to be done,” said Bumi.

“I also seem to be returning to the office.” Dimas.

“You stayed here until Nesya's parents came back here. Don't you not have so much work in the office?” bumi said while insinuating.

Glug.

Dimas swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. Earth's words just now he thinks contain a threat.

“Then I also go home first, Brother. I also have to go back to the office again,” said Dusk saying goodbye.

“Alright, thanks for visiting me, yeah. Be careful on the road,” Nesya said sweetly as sweetly as possible.

***

Dusk goes quickly to avoid the Earth. But his steps were no bigger than that man. Earth codes Jefri to wait for him in the car, while he himself walks near Dusk.

Grep's!

The earth pulled up the arms of Dusk and carried him in a crowded hospital hallway. Dusk was surprised when his body stuck to the wall while the Earth was right in front of him with a very close distance.

“You want what?” ask Dusk with a stammer.

The earth did not answer. It even brought his face closer. That of course makes the heart of Dusk beat unnaturally. Even wanting to breathe was very difficult if he was that close to the man he loved secretly.

The smell of the breath of the Earth is increasingly clear in the sense of smell of Dusk. It makes Dusk confused what to do. It was as if he had lost his courage. Seeing the face in front of him getting closer, Dusk closed his eyes tightly.

Seriate...
