Dusk For Eagle
Episode 64 (Beheading a story of the past)

The eagle slid his body onto the bed with his legs dangling to the floor. For a moment he waited for his wife's reaction whether to fall or not and it turned out that Dusk was still silent with his sitting position, not budging at all.

The eagle again woke up and herded the body of the twilight to join the fall, "Take the bed so it is more relaxed," he said.

Dusk just resigned noiselessly, waiting for the Eagle to start the story.

"Bianca and I have been close since childhood. As you know, Juna and Aunt Evelyn are mommy and daddy's best friends, so we met a lot. When Bianca Smp second class, om Juna and aunt Evelyn decided to settle abroad but Bianca did not want to move, she was more comfortable living in Jakarta. So he lived in Jakarta only with his aunt and om Juna to leave it to me, "Eagle paused his sentence, he turned to his wife. The twilight remained silent without reacting. Then the Eagle continued his story.

"Because being together often makes me feel like I love her and I can't be away from her for a second..." Hearing these words, Dusk gave a little reaction, a sign that he was jealous but he still listened.

"I felt like I was carrying a burden to always take care of her when Juna sent her to me. I can't make him sad and feel lonely here alone,"

"Why should you?" Dusk began to comment, his gaze remained focused on the ceiling of the room. The eagle turned towards him hearing the wife's question.

"Because their families mostly live and settle abroad and Bianca is only familiar with me and Rega, but closer to me" said Elang.

"Bianca has a best friend named Ersya, she is Ervan's sister. Ervan and I have also been best friends since Junior High. Ersya often expressed love for me but I always rejected her because of what I liked Bianca, her best friend. Knowing that Bianca and I were in a relationship as lovers, Ersya felt disappointed, hopeless and frustrated. He was furious with Bianca. Ersya declared once again her love for me, wishing that I would choose her over Bianca, but I who was with Bianca at that time could not have chosen her out of pity...

"Ersya then gave me a message, asked me to come to her apartment with Ervan, he threatened if I didn't come and choose him, he would rather die. I thought it was just her bluff so Aki ignored the message. A few hours after he sent the message, my bad feelings made me finally come there just to make sure he was okay. Arriving there, I found him unconscious with an empty sleeping medicine bottle lying beside him, as I checked his pulse he was no longer breathing..." The eagle let out a long sigh, peeking at his past memories made him feel claustrophobic. She turned to Dusk who was now looking at her, as if curious about her husband's next story despite the jealous spices when the Eagle talked about Bianca, but she tried to think positively, there are more important things to listen to, he thought.

"If it's heavy, it doesn't need to be continued" said Dusk, his tone has softened. The Eagle smiled briefly to Dusk then continued his story.

"Bored of hearing my story?" asked the Eagle and Dusk shook his head. The eagle grasped tightly the hand of Dusk, slipping his fingers between the fingers of the wife.

"I'm going on?" Dusk nodded.

"Ersya's death made Bianca shocked, she really did not expect her best friend turned out to hold a deep love for me. While Ervan hates me so much and always blames me, Ersya is his only sister whom he cares about the most. Here they were just the two of them, their parents were in Paris. Ervan couldn't accept seeing me and Bianca lived a quiet and happy life while she had to lose Ersya...

"One time, Ervan who had never been drunk before, he deliberately made himself drunk and forget himself, forgetting his common sense and conscience which was actually very contrary to his excellent attitude. He was deliberately drunk only to stain Bianca, because if he was conscious, he would not have the heart to do so. Luckily, I arrived before it was too late, but it traumatized Bianca and it took four months to regain her confidence...

"You bored?"

"No, continue!" sahut Dusk.

"The incident where Bianca almost lost her honor made me feel guilty for her, because of my problem she had to be a victim and I promised to keep looking after her at all times and never leave her...Bianca always hung everything on me, even I realized her dream of becoming the great artist she is today. And you know, even if it's not a match, I've applied for Bianca three times and she always refused for reasons I can't accept at all, he even decided to part with me right on the day that I caused your grandfather to die.." this time it was Dusk who let out a long sigh of remembrance of the late grandfather.

"You believe it or not, the first time I saw you in the hospital, I felt so much pain when I saw you crying because of my carelessness. And the shadow of the past where I caused Ersya to decide to commit suicide, Ervan who was hurt in her heart and Bianca who also had to experience trauma, came back to haunt me. That's why when Grandpa asked me to marry you and take responsibility for your life I agreed, because I don't want you to be like those who suffer because of me, I was determined to make you as happy as I promised. I saw you when it was different than I saw Bianca, which I don't know what the difference was back then. But the more time we spend together, the more I'm sure that my feelings for Bianca are common, the more I feel like I've seen Bianca like I've seen Gisel all along. In contrast to you who presented a different feeling in my heart that I realized that it was love," Dusk was surprised to hear her husband's last sentence that indirectly expressed his love.
