Dusk For Nathan 2
3.

Povs. Nathan

Ayuna remained silent after Dusk and Gio. I know he's jealous right now. But what should I do. Gio's question just escaped his mouth. Ayuna and I already knew how critical Gio would be if he asked. If given an answer that does not fit the thought he will continue to ask until he gets an answer that satisfies him. Didn't the one who brought them to this house Ayuna herself. When I came home from work I was very surprised to find Gio welcoming me cheerfully and hugging me.

" You still love the same twilight?" Ask Ayuna a little sniffly.

" I've explained it over and over again. Dusk is just my past." I tried to understand Ayuna.

" You still love the same twilight?" Ayuna turned around to look at me sharply. Anger and jealousy had overcome him until he spoke out to me.

" Don't talk about this again, Na." My words diverted the conversation.

" You don't answer that means you still have the same feeling of twilight. Then why do you still insist on marrying me, Nath?!" It's always this sentence I heard from Ayuna when we had a fight. ' Why I married her'.

I took a long breath. I held her shoulder gently and slowly hugged her.

" We're tasting your cooking today." I whispered softly.

" Nath."

" What's up?"

" If me and Dusk are in trouble. Who did you help first?"

" Of course you are. You're my wife. My life's friend." My words confirmed Ayuna's status in my life. Although I have not completely forgotten the twilight.

How can I forget that my first love is always present in this house.

" You still love Dusk?" That question again came out of Ayuna's mouth.

" It doesn't matter anymore, Na. Now the most important thing is that I try to love you so much that there's no one else." I answered gently hoping to satisfy Ayuna's question.

" I'm sorry, Nath." Ayuna bowed.

I smiled at the gentle Ayuna who was looking at me full of regret for demanding me to immediately remove Dusk from my heart.

I must admit. It's not all that easy. I need some time. When with Dusk. I gave my whole heart to him. I loved Dusk so much that there was no woman I could love. However, seeing Ayuna's attitude was so good towards me or my mother. I tried to open my heart to him. I want my mom to be happy. I also want Ayuna to achieve her first love. I knew from her diary that I was her first love and that no other man was in Ayuna's heart. That's why I decided to choose Ayuna. She's a very nice girl. He deserves what he wants. Even though it was me who was still learning to fully love him.

" I'm hungry." Persuade me again and gently pull Ayuna's hand towards the dining table.

Without much talk we ate quietly. The cooking is starting to taste good. The smarter she cooks. I really appreciate him. That's why I never forbade Ayuna from asking Dusk here to teach her how to cook.

I know every time he sees my closeness to Gio hurt him. Because until now, Ayuna did not get pregnant. For me it's not about. I am not married just to have children.

" I want to go to bed." Said Ayuna who did not finish her meal.

" yes. Let me take care of that." I responded to Ayuna's attitude.

I can only understand the state of Ayuna. This marriage did not completely make Ayuna happy. I don't know what's wrong.

When we got married, we lived in my mother's house. I'm the only child. So I decided to stay with my mother so I could still look after my aging mother. We were only one month home. Ayuna has been whining to split the house. My mother supported Ayuna's decision. My mother was a very understanding woman.

To follow Ayuna's wishes. I finally bought this house. Mom was so happy I finally got my own house.

Sometimes I stop by my mom's house after I get home from work. I don't know why Ayuna always refuses if I take her to mom's house. In contrast to the twilight that still often comes just looking at the mother. I know it's from Bi Sumi.

" Breakfast first, Nath." Say Ayuna to me who just went to the dining table.

Had a toast and a cup of capuccino coffee on the table.

" I have breakfast at the office. There's a meeting this morning." Refuse me smooth and sip some of that capuccino coffee. Don't forget I kissed Ayuna gently.

Ayuna just looked at me disappointed. But how to. I've been chasing time. This morning if it works. I'll hold a big project. Hope it works. Because the tender that competes with me is also a company that is also a large company.

I immediately drove my vehicle as fast as I could. Yes know for yourself how the streets in Jakarta are like.

As usual Silvi has welcomed my arrival in front of the lobby with some files that he brought.

" Just go in, Sil." I'm in a hurry.

I immediately drove the car back through the traffic jam. This time, it was a little far from the office.

" It's all ready, right?" I break the silence.

" It's been, sir." Silvi replied briefly. Unlike usual he would explain all the information I needed without being asked.

" You got a problem?" I asked a little curious.

" Ok." I chose to be quiet and continue on.

The day already showed at five in the afternoon. It's time I went home. But today I want to pay a short visit to my mother's house and give her the clothes I just bought this afternoon.

" Assalammu'alaikum." Sapaku was carefree when he entered my mother's house.

" Na'alaikumsalam." My mother's voice from inside.

" Maashiah Allah.. Mother's son." My mother was happy to welcome me.

Immediately I kissed the back of my mother's hand and I hugged her she missed.

" Make mom." I gave the paper bag I was carrying.

" What is this?" Ask my mom with a happy face. " O God. That's great." Said cheerfully.

" Like it?"

" Of course I like it. From a beloved son." Say my mother again. " Where's ayuna?" That's always what my mom asks.

" At home, Mom. I'm straight here from the office." My answer.

Mother just nodded slowly.

" I won the tender, Mom." I was glad to hear the results of this morning's meeting.

" Thank God. But really happy. What's the same tender?"

" It's a big project, ma'am. I can absorb more labor." My story's enthusiastic.

" Thankfully Alhamdulillah. I'm proud of you. Do not forget some of the profits you donate to orphans and poor also the construction of mosques. Let's be blessed." My mother always reminded me not to forget to give alms. For what we have is the right of those whom God has entrusted to us.

" God willing, Mom." I said again and hugged my mother tightly. " All I've achieved now. Not out of mother's prayer. Thank you very much, Mom." I said and hugged him back tightly.

" Assalammu'alaikum." Greet someone from outside.

" Na'alaikumsalam." My husband and mother at the same time.

Mom immediately went out to meet the guest who knows who. I just noticed.

" Ewah.. With the great guest." Greet my mom cheerfully. " come in. enter." Mom immediately let.

I still watch from far away. It turns out that my mother's guest tonight is Mr. David and Angel. What's the matter they came for?

Without much thought, I approached them and greeted Mr. David.

" Add this boy's bravery." Said Mr. David proudly. I only smiled faintly in response to the praise from Mr. David.

" Come with me, Nath. I want to make you drink." whispered mother to me.

I just nodded and sat down in front of Mr. David.

" How are you?" Ask David, stale.

" Thank God, good sir."

" Don't you remember Angel, my daughter?" Ask Mr. David.

" It's still, sir."

" To be honest, Nathan. I'm still here with the same intent." Mr. David's words make me clueless.

" What do you mean, sir?" My toot.

" Please drink, sir." Said the mother to welcome after serving warm tea at the table.

" What is necessary sir? How to tumben once." Ask my mother who is sitting next to me.

" Look, Mrs Fitri. I still want Nathan to be my son-in-law."

The deg!

My eyes and mother looked at me. Didn't Mr. David know I was married.
