Earth Without Dusk
66. Strange Behavior of the Earth
The next second who would have thought that the Earth did not answer his words but pulled the hand of Dusk and took him into his arms.
“I miss you,” said Bumi while whispering.
Deg.
Dusk felt the time stopped spinning and then brought him back to the early days of their meeting. Where she can feel the warmth and comfort of being in the Earth's arms as the man protects her from Riko.
His floating hand wanted to return the embrace of the Earth, but his wits awakened faster. The situation is different now. There was Nesya as Earth's fiance next to him. Dusk is at war with his mind, between wanting to remain in that embrace or immediately letting go.
But it turns out that the Earth first broke that embrace.
“Thanks,” says Bumi after breaking her embrace. I don't know which one the Earth means. Thank you for coming to her engagement or thank you for allowing her to hug Dusk.
Dusk nodded then smiled awkwardly at him. Nesya and Dimas who were right beside them did not stop watching the interaction of the two people. Because this is a very rare sight when the Earth wants to hug a woman other than her mother.
It wasn't even just Nesya and Dimas who caught the strange phenomenon. Mr. Dirgantara and his wife also felt the same. The Earth has never been like that before.
“See, Earth just hugged Mr. Andika's son. Is that not wrong, Mom? I mean, like not Earth alone,” whispered Mr. Dirgantara's wife.
“Maybe the Earth just thanks Dusk.” Mr. Dirgantara tried to cover up what he also suspected.
“By hugging her?” ask his wife to be curious.
“They are engaged in cooperation in one project. They may be familiar because they often meet when working together. That's normal,” replied Mr. Dirgantara trying to calm down.
“If Dimas anyway, I'm not weird he is. But this is Earth, my. In fact it seems that the Earth is more..ah already, maybe just my feelings,” said Mr. Dirgantara's wife.
Mr. Dirgantara suddenly dizzy to see his son. Where will his engagement with Nesya go?
***
Dusk and Dimas had already finished congratulating Bumi and Nesya. After that, of course, Dusk approached his parents. He was also loved by Liliana because she was always late to come to family events. Fortunately, there is a father who always defends his only daughter.
While Dimas only boasted his laughter when Dusk diomeli his mother. Dimas was very happy to see the interaction of the Andika family. A warm and loving family. Dimas was wondering if he could get into that family, it must be very happy. But dear, he realized that the heart of Dusk already belonged to someone else. And that person is his own brother.
Dusk and Dimas also greeted the Adrian family and the Aerospace family. They talked to each other until Dusk forgot his sadness. In the middle of his chat, Dusk had stolen a glance at the man who was still receiving congratulations from the guests. And it turns out that the man was also looking at it.
Their eyes met each other. Beyond the estimation of Dusk, Earth blinked one eye at Dusk.
Eh? What was that just now? Did he blink his eyes at me? Ask Dusk in your heart.
Even twilight looked behind him, empty no one. Then it was true that Earth winked at him. Dusk tried to look toward Earth again to make sure he didn't get it wrong. And again the Earth blinked one eye at Dusk.
Is correct. He's doing. Is he flickering? But why does he look so flirtatious like that? Doesn't fit his personality. Mending he was flat-faced as usual. Umpat Dusk in the heart.
Not even dusk looked towards the Earth anymore. Shortly after, he seemed to walk away from his family. The earth is still watching him. His eyes continued to follow where Dusk was going. Suddenly Earth saw someone following Dusk from behind. And that person turned out to be Marcel.
The earth squinted its eyes at Marcel. He had seen that man.
