At the End of Dusk
part 16 (revision)
year passed...
"happy birthday mba.."ericko blew out the candles on top of ersha's favorite greentea cup cake
"i miss you mba" ericko stared at the photo of Ersha, the only one about Ersha that he could save from the gluttonous flames
their father not only threw Ersha in his heart and life, but eliminated all about Ersha in their palace
all of Ersha's stuff all that reminds of Ersha ends up in a blazing fire
ericko clasped tightly onto Ersha's photo, closing his eyes imagining Ersha in his arms.
today somehow she missed ersha so much
brakkkk
ericko's bedroom door was broken
behind the door that had opened wide stood the figure of a man burning with flames of anger, his jaw hardening his gaze sharply stiffened..
"dad.." His body was suddenly cold, he shivered in fear
"how many times have I told you I don't want anything to do with her in my house" Erwin took a picture of Ersha and took her
"dad don't father.." Tried ericko after his father,
Erwin slammed the photo to the ground, stepped on his stampede and ignited it with fire
"mba Ersha.." ericko was late and the photo was not saved.
ericko wept before the fire that devoured the image of the woman he so longed for..
"even though you burned everything about her you won't be able to erase her in my heart." Erwin's footsteps stopped hearing the words of his youngest son.
"keep talking.." Erwin raised his hand about to give a slap to ericko
"slap me. slap me if by slapping me is the way for him back I willingly. but remember when you slapped me you not only lost your daughter but you also lost your son." Erwin lowered his hand and left ericko just like that, angrily
while behind the window on the top floor stalked a woman..
"the first time I came to this house, you made me jealous sha, you had a father, a man who loved you so much you had a mother whose love was greater for you than I was her real daughter, I used to get you out of the house, but not from the hearts of my father and mother, you were still queen in their hearts, struggling I created lies so they hated you but always failed sha, and now that you're banished sha, you're hated, but why the pain I feel is not happy" Clarissa wiped her tears
"you where sha. I miss you.why did you create this story sha" Clarissa and Ersha always noisily but Clarissa knows very well who Ersha is, Ersha would not be possible to do such a thing
"if I don't test Feroz's love by showing you a picture of you being hugged by the earth this won't happen, this is all my fault, I'm sorry Ersha"

presenting a pinch of orange
depicting the silhouette of a man staring blankly at the shore and in his arms was a woman he loved so much
dusk yesterday is dusk with the sky of his throne that presents a beautiful and so colorful thing
dusk yesterday is a door a thousand romantic stories begin
twilight yesterday is a force for man who needs a beauty in the bitterness of life
dusk yesterday was a wound eraser
and yesterday's twilight was still the same as today's twilight
but not for him
dusk today is dark
dusk today the dagger that tore through the recesses of his heart
today's twilight is a loss
today's night is a separator
"i love you Ersha, "the lifeless body of the woman was held in her arms
***
"don't let go...!!" Ersha asks earth to hold her hand
"thank you for loving me.." earth was surprised how Ersha knew how she felt
"not Auntie, she never talks anything.."Ersha smiled, she knew what the man now had in mind
"sorry, I can't love you, she's still in my heart." earth knows Ersha will never love her

."the earth is getting dark let's go home.."
"husssttt Ersha was asleep mama.." the earth put her fingertips in front of her lips, her tears flowing profusely
along with the tears of the earth that dripped, Nia collapsed
now before him the earth was holding Ersha who was no longer alive, the face was getting pale, her hands were drooping, the eyes that always calmed Nia every time she looked at him were closed tightly, closed,
"Ersha.." she said.
