Dusk For Nathan 2
119

" You have an event today?" Tanya Dusk as Nathan was eating his breakfast.

" no. What's up?"

" I'm going to Ayuna's house." Say Dusk and sit on the chair beside Gio.

" Are you sure?" Nathan put down his spoon and stared fixedly at Dusk.

Dusk nodded.

" Ayuna's mother still hates Nathan, Dusk." Ms. Fitri seemed to disagree.

" I want him to carry Joseph. Maybe if he saw Joseph he'd be happy, Mom." Dusk.

" I'm not sure, baby." Nathan tried to refuse the request. He did not want the rude attitude of Mother Laras also shown to Dusk.

" Just once, baby. I beg you." Said Dusk pleading with a clear face.

Nathan took a deep breath and replied with a small nod. The hatred of Ibu Laras arose when Ayuna died. He who has not been able to accept the departure of his son always blamed Nathan who could not take care of Ayuna well. During the household with Nathan. Several times Ayuna looked sad but she was reluctant to tell stories with Ibu Laras.

Nathan and Dusk have set out for Ayuna's parents' house. Nathan seemed a little hesitant to drive his car to the residence of Ibu Laras. Her concern about Mother Laras' attitude to Dusk made her unsettled.

After a one hour journey. They arrive. Nathan parked his car outside the gate of Ibu Laras' house. The house looks the same. Only paint this house that looks brighter.

Nathan holding his wife's hand stepped into the gate of Ayuna's house. There was a feeling of haru and longing to be raging in the recesses of his chest. The memory in Nathan's memory goes back to Ayuna. Ayuna's smile that she still clearly remembered.

" Hey, Nath." Sapa Revan washes her car in the yard.

" Sister."

Revan approached Nathan and greeted Nathan. " Tumben date."

" yes. Mama is?"

" There's. Mama's sick again." Said Revan and let Nathan and Dusk in.

" Assalammu'alaikum."

" Na'alaikumsalam." Mr. Sofyan said from inside the room. " Nathan." She was thrilled when she saw Nathan still standing on the doorstep.

" She." Nathan kissed the back of Sofyan's hand. Likewise with Dusk.

" Is she your wife?"

" Yes, Pa." Nathan answered and saw Mr. Sofyan seemed sparkling to see Joseph who was in the sling of Dusk.

" Sit. Papa call Mama." Said Mr. Sofyan and rushed into his room again.

Dusk threw a happy smile at Nathan seeing Mr. Sofyan's happy reaction. Soon after came out Mother Laras with a lethargic face but still implied anger on her face.

His hand immediately brushed off Nathan's hand that was about to kiss the back of his hand. With a straight face he sat in front of Dusk and Nathan.

" What's your mom sick?" Nathan asked concerned to see Mother Laras pale.

" It's none of your business!"

Nathan took a deep breath.

" Is she your wife?" Bu Laras asked Nathan while glancing at the cynical Dusk.

" Yes, Ma."

" That's your ex-boyfriend, right? Which Ayuna almost gave up on your marriage first!"

Nathan did not answer. Just down.

The twilight became quieter. It was so tight his chest heard the sharp words from Mother Laras.

" Sir.." Sofyan tried to stop his wife's speech.

" It's time they found out what's in Mama's heart!" Omel Ibu Baras to Mr. Sofyan.

" Let's see Nathan's son is so funny. Mama won't see?!" Mr. Sofyan is still persuading.

" That's Nathan's son with that woman! women who don't-don't plan Ayuna's accident."

" Astag." Dusk immediately beristighfar heard the accusations of Ibu Laras.

" lady. I'm here to see Mama and Papa. Don't want to hear your mama's accusation against my wife." Nathan said he was still trying to be gentle with his former in-laws.

" You defended him? You're not who else. Never set foot in my house!" Hardik Bu Laras is becoming more and more Nathan. His index finger pointed right at Nathan's face.

Without speaking again. Nathan clasped Dusk's hand and led him out of Ayuna's house. He did not want his emotions to explode and spoke out loudly to his former in-laws whom he respected a lot.

" Mom haven't seen Joseph, Nath." The twilight persuaded him to stay there.

" Don't be stupid, Dusk. Our presence is not desirable here." Nathan said firmly and kept pulling Dusk's hand towards the car.

Revan, who had been busy washing his car, saw a fierce-looking Nathan coming out of his house and leaving his house. Revan went into his house and approached his parents.

" Ayuna's death has nothing to do with Nathan, Ma."

" Maybe not with Nathan. But what about his wife. Hasn't that woman been after Nathan for a long time?!"

" Ma!"

" Mom will never forgive them!"

" Nathan's a good boy, Ma. Ayuna was always happy as his wife." Sahut Revan's. " Didn't you used to be given shopping money by Nathan? He never differentiates between his mother and mother." Sahut Revan's.

" Why do you always defend Nathan!" Ibu Laras was upset and slammed the door of his room.

Dusk continued to stroke Nathan's shoulder which still looked angry. Time and time again Dusk had to catch his breath as Nathan overtook the vehicle in front of him.

" Slowly, baby." Persuade the worried Dusk.

Nathan remained unmoved and continued to drive his vehicle at high speed. Arriving by the lake Nathan stopped the speed of his vehicle and hit the steering wheel many times venting his frustration.

" Istighfar dear." Dusk stroked Nathan's back gently.

Nathan continued to be involved and to recite in his heart. He rested his head and took many long breaths to calm himself down. She looked at her husband with guilt.

Nathan closed his eyes. Back twisted in memory of his memory when the news of grief reached the mother of Laras and Pak Sofyan. The couple's arrival to the funeral home.

Mother Laras wept roaring in front of Ayuna's body. He was yelling and screaming indistinctly. Nathan who witnessed how broken the heart of Laras' mother was just silent and bowed. His heart was no less broken. Nathan and Ayuna who are happily awaiting the birth of their baby must be faced with the reality of the departure of his wife. Nathan was no less devastated than Laras' mother.

With an angry face, Ibu Laras approached Nathan and pointed at Nathan's face. Blaming Nathan for Ayuna's death. Nathan, who was also heartbroken, could only be silent and resigned to accept all accusations from his in-laws at that time.

Nathan felt the shock of the moment. A sense of tightness that will never go away if you remember the hardest day for him during his life.

Nathan stared fixedly at Dusk's face and hugged him tightly. Tears have washed both of his cheeks. Nathan, who has always been tough, is now fragile when he remembers all the painful events.

" Patience dear." The twilight kept Nathan calm.

Nathan took a deep breath and wiped away his tears. He raised his head so that no more tears would fall.

" I'm sorry dear." Nathan said in a loud voice.
