Dusk For Nathan 2
143

It's been a week since Nathan disappeared. So far, I have not received any news. From the police or from Nabila's men who were deployed to investigate the whereabouts of Nathan as well as Wulan. Although Darko. The man who allegedly plotted with Wulan had a powerful alibi on the hour of Nathan's disappearance.

Sitting weakly. Why the ordeal always befalls his little family. Brama can only take a breath in seeing the state of Dusk which is quite alarming.

" That woman didn't call me at all, Bram." Said Dusk with his sobs.

" What does he really want?" The twilight returned in his tears.

" I and Nabila's men have tried their hardest to find their existence. But they are like demons. Disappeared from CCTV monitoring on the road. That's where we lost track of them." Brama explained. Brama no longer knew what to say to the broken Dusk.

" Nathan is a very good man. Never once did he hurt a woman or anyone. I don't know what made them judge him." Randy.

" Their obsession is slowly destroying Nathan." Brama's law approved by Randy.

In a fairly old building. Nathan woke up from his sleep. He stretched his muscles and opened the window in his room. This house with a fairly old building style is in a remote area. Away from the main road access and away from residential areas. Nathan doesn't remember anything. Can only go with the flow that takes him somewhere.

" Morning dear." Sapa Wulan warm by carrying a tray on which there is a bowl of chicken porridge and orange juice. It's always been Nathan's activity. Just stay in a room that is quite spacious. Wulan did not allow him to get out of the room.

" yes. Morning." Nathan turned a glance at Wulan who was putting the porridge and juice on a small table in the corner of the room.

" How did you sleep?" Wulan approached Nathan who was still standing staring out the window and hugged him from behind.

" Sound enough." Nathan simply replied with a flat face. He did not reveal a pair of hands that were coiled in his stomach.

" I miss you. Can we sleep together?" Pinta Wulan with a spoiled tone.

" Please sleep here. I'll sleep on the couch." Nathan said and let go of Wulan's hand.

" You don't want to sleep with me anymore?" Wulan continued to look at Nathan who walked over to the sofa and sat there eating breakfast that had been brought by Wulan.

" We're not married. If I ever did it before. I'm sorry. Maybe I was just being quiet at the time." Nathan said after swallowing a spoonful of porridge in his mouth.

Wulan's face bent back. His appeal during the week was always unsuccessful. Nathan always refused. " Tomorrow we'll get married." Wulan Proposal.

' Uhuk Uhuk Uhuk '

Nathan patted his chest for choking and immediately drank the orange juice until it was half gone.

" You're refusing again?" Wulan started sulking.

" I can't remember anything yet. I'm not sure I can live you." Nathan reasoned again. For some reason he spent a week with Wulan. But the shadow of Dusk and the portraits of his two children were always ringing in his mind.

" I know. You will run away from your responsibilities!" Wulan was back. Crossed his hands across his chest and threw his face towards the window.

' Teeenggg's'

" I.." Nathan grimaced slightly as the shadow of Dusk appeared in his mind. Just like Wulan. The twilight is sulking.

" What are you doing?" Wulan looked frantically at Nathan holding his head while grimacing.

Nathan is still trying to control his pain and "Dusk." Nathan muttered and immediately stood up walking out of his room like a hypnotized person.

" Nathan!" Call Wulan and immediately chase after Nathan who starts running towards the exit.

Nathan remained in the same attitude. Keep accelerating his pace away from Wulan.

" Deki! The bimo! Prevent Nathan from running away!" Shouted Wulan annoyed at his men.

Those who had been playing chess on the side porch. Immediately ran towards the exit and chased after Nathan who had already dashed through the forest.

Nathan seemed to start to be confused when he really no longer heard the screams of Wulan who had called him. Nathan looked to the left and to the right. There are no footpaths or people passing by. There were only trees and bushes there. Somehow the shadow of the Twilight seemed to lead him away from there.

Nathan was sitting under a big tree. It's getting dark. His feet are starting to feel sore. The wind is also very felt. Nathan walked a bit through the wilderness. Heedless of the twigs and thorns that hit his skin. Nathan saw a speck of light from a distance. Nathan walked through the forest to the light. After fifteen minutes of walking, Nathan was able to get out of the wilderness. The path began to be seen. Nathan came to a house. Either this is a house or just a shack. Because the surrounding still looks lonely and dark.

' Tok Tok Tok Tok's'

Nathan knocked on the wooden door. " Assalammu'alaikum." Greet Nathan with his body starting to weaken.

' Tok Tok Tok Tok.'

Nathan knocked on the door again several times and did not forget to say hello.

" Na'alaikumsalam." Someone's mouth. Not from the source of the sound. But from behind Nathan.

Nathan immediately turned his head and saw a middle-aged man with a machete tucked in his waist.

" Who are you looking for?" Ask the old man.

Nathan threw a smile before answering the man's question. " I'm sorry to interrupt, sir. I'm Nathan. Can I have some water to drink?" Nathan asked who was thirsty.

" Can." The man immediately walked into the hut and went in to get some water for Nathan.

" Get in." Take the man to Nathan who is still standing at the door, looking back occasionally.

Nathan smiled awkwardly and followed the man's invitation. Nathan sat down before the man and received drinking water from the man. Soon Nathan gulped it down to nothing.

" If you can know. Where'd you come from?"

" I'm from Jakarta. But I was taken by some people to a house in the middle of the forest there." Nathan started telling me what happened to him.

" You ran from their pursuit?"

" Yes, Sir. I was forced to marry that woman." Nathan was downcast to recall the events he experienced.

The man seemed to think and take a deep breath. " That's it. What if you're hiding in your father's house?"

" Is it not a hassle?"

" no. Name of tea Somad. But at home I have two children. You will sleep with your father's son." Mr. Somad offered.

Without thinking any longer. Nathan confirmed Mr. Somad's offer. Soon Mr. Somad rushed Nathan to his house which still takes 30 minutes to get to his house on foot.

The streets of the village are dim because there are only a few street lights that illuminate the road. Roads are still rocky unspoiled development. Nathan grimaced a little when his barefoot foot stepped on a sharp pebble.

Mr. Somad felt sorry for Nathan immediately removing the sandals he wore. " Parent's sandals first." His word.

" No need sir."

" It's. You wear. Your feet have been hurt a lot. It must be so painful." Mr. Somad insisted. Nathan has again received Mr. Somad's kindness.

After arriving. Mr. Somad immediately woke up his wife and two children. Because the day is almost dawn.

" Who is this?" Whisper Mr. Somad's wife while glancing towards Nathan who was sitting on an old chair in their living room.

" What's up, sir?" Asked a girl who had just come out of her room while poking both her eyes as she had just returned from her dream.

" Yes, Father. Just disturb. It's still an hour, sir.." The protest of the boy who seemed to still be sitting on the bench of Junior High.

" We have guests." Answer Mr. Somad. Making the other three members of his family a little surprised and immediately looked at Nathan. Sweeping through his entire appearance that looked extremely shabby.

" His name is Nathan. He seems to have been kidnapped. He escaped from his captor. For a while he stayed here." Mr. Somad explained.

" Uh.. This father how. We have a girl!" Mr. Somad's wife seemed to object.

" He's sleeping with Andi. Not with Amel!" Mr. Somad won't lose.

" I'm sorry, Sir. Let me sleep outside." Nathan spoke up.

" No!" Mr. Somad disagrees. " Why did the kidnap find you?!"

" What a danger, sir?" Andi asked a little horrified.

" certainly. His name was also kidnapped!" Sahut Amel fast.

" Yaudah that way. Sleep with Andi. But on the floor is okay, brother? Little Andi's mattress. Doesn't fit two."

Nathan smiled with relief. " Not papa."

" Yasuda. You clean your body first. Soon dawn. After that we treat your wounds." Mr. Somad.

" Good, sir."

" Then I'll get you my father's shirt. But sorry. Kind of shabby." Mr. Somad feels bad because let Nathan's half-heartedness. It still looks if the clothes that Nathan wears are good clothes.

" His father just haphazardly bring people in." Amel grumbled when Nathan was in the bathroom.

" Pity me, Mel."

" Pake the event to guarantee another shirt! He's so tall. What's your dress!"

" It's called an emergency, Mel. Just load it." Answer Mr. Somad casually.

After a few minutes. Nathan looks fresher with clothes and pants that look small. Though the clothes and pants chosen by Mr. Somad is the largest size he has..

" Sniff sir, Mom." Said Amel with eyes that could not be separated from staring at Nathan who approached them with wet hair. The wounds are increasingly visible on the hands of the feet as well as some on the face.

"
