Dusk For Nathan 2
4

" Dusk." Call mama gently approached me who was sitting on the porch chair while watching Gio play in the yard.

" What's up, Ma?"

" Mama and Papa will be out of town tomorrow for a week. You don't have a problem with Gio at home?"

" It's no problem, Ma." My answer.

" You stay at Bu Fitri's house. He lives alone." Proposal Mama.

" Thank you, Ma. I don't feel good always bothering Bu Fitri." Refuse me smooth. All this time if my parents were out of town and Gilang didn't come home. I must have stayed at Bu Fitri's house. He is very good. Until I felt bad about receiving the kindness of Bu Fitri and Nathan all the time.

" But Dusk..." My mother still tried to persuade me. I know what happened to me before left a huge trauma for my parents.

" Believe me, Ma. I'm fine." I convinced Mama.

" okay." Mom finally said after a while of thought.

Ddrrtt.. Drrrttt

My phone shook and I saw a message through Wa. I read. It turns out that Bu Fitri wanted me to accompany him tonight. Since Nathan moved in. Mrs Fitri lives alone. If during the day there is still Bi Sumi who accompanies Bu Fitri but if it is night. He was alone in his big house.

Sometimes I stop by her house just to see how she is. Not infrequently I was asked to stay overnight to accompany him.

Like this afternoon. He asked me to stay the night. I just assented. But I will come after Magrib alone. Kasian Gio if it has to be Magrib on the road.

Arriving at Bu Fitri's house I saw two cars parked in the yard of Bu Fitri's house. One of course I know. That's Nathan's car. But if the other one. I don't know who it belongs to.

With a slightly unpleasant feeling. I stepped closer to Nathan's house. Gio was very impatient. Looked at how he was trying to let go of my hand to run in.

" Assalammu'alaikum." My broom.

" Alaikumsalam." They are almost at the same time.

" Dusk." Sapa Bu Fitri friendly. Her tense face slightly melted away after seeing my arrival.

I shake them one by one. Because it seems like their conversation is serious. I headed straight to the dining room a little away from them.

" How is Bu Fitri?" The middle-aged man's voice sounded to Nathan's mother. I'm a little curious. So I glanced a little at them. Fortunately, this room has no walls. So it is very easy to eavesdrop or see guests who come.

Nathan seemed to take a deep breath. " Don't you know I'm married?" Nathan asked or rather he was like reminding his current status.

" Yes, Angel and I know that too."

" For the umpteenth time. I apologize profusely. I can't accept Father's son." Nathan replied softly but firmly.

" Don't it matter in our religion if we have two wives?" The man was a little angry.

" right, Sir. If he can be fair. But if I. I'm not sure I can be fair to my wives." Nathan replied calmly. There is no emotion or doubt in his words.

" What's my daughter lacking?!" The hardship. " He's beautiful. Educated also from a distinguished family!" Strictly again.

" yes. I admit, Angel is beautiful, educated and from family. But I apologize once again. I can't. For me. Wife is one enough. I don't want more." Nathan said with his calmness.

" Why does my sister always reject me?! I humbled myself in front of my sister. I want you to make me second!" Maki the woman was now pointing at Nathan's face with an angry look.

The woman was crying so much. Bu Fitri looked confused seeing that.

" I'm going to destroy your business, Nathan!" Threaten the middle-aged man. Then pulled his daughter out.

" How's this, Nath?" Ask Bu Fitri worriedly.

" Look down, Mom. Sustained in the hands of God." Nathan's calming.

" It's not like that. I really feel bad about Mr. David. Given the good fortune of giving this house to us for nothing."

Nathan just smiled in response to his mother's anxiety.

" Sorry. Ma'am. I heard all your talk." My words are approaching them now.

" I'm sorry, Dusk. Makes a bad mood." Said Bu Fitri.

" It's okay."

Nathan looked at me questioningly. He must have asked me why I was here at night.

" So mom asked Dusk to stay." Mrs Fitri replied.

" Papa's sleeping here, right?" Gio asked Nathan.

" Papa has to go home, baby." Nathan replied gently.

How Gio doesn't stick to Nathan. If Nathan's treatment alone was so gentle on Gio.

" I'm saying goodbye, Mom." Nathan said goodbye and kissed the back of his mother's hand.

" Papa go home, baby." He also said to Gio who was still staring expectantly at him.

" Papa promise ya next time will stay here with me and Mama." Gio is still demanding.

" Yes dear." Nathan gently caressed Gio's head and passed away leaving Bu Fitri's house.

For some reason it is so hard to kill love for her. The more I want to lose the more I get. Would I be guilty of loving someone else's husband? Sometimes I find my life very difficult. I want to leave this world soon. Without feeling clear bulir just slide from my eye peluk.

" Why are you twilight?" Bu Fitri asked to see me wiping away tears.

" It's okay, Mom."

" If there is a problem. Don't tell the same story mom. You've already considered your own mother's son." Said Bu Fitri while gently rubbing my back.

" Yes, Mom."

" Grandma's the same as Gio." Said Bu Fitri and immediately hugged Gio. " Gio stayed here a long time." Pinta Bu Fitri's.

" No, Grandma. Meli's grandmother will miss me too." Answer Gio plain.

" Yes yes. Yasudah. Gio had to come to grandma's house often."

" Okay" Gio and Bu Fitri laughed together. I'm just smiling. Didn't think it would feel like my ex-husband's family loved us so much. I'm so grateful for this. Sometimes as a human being my selfish thoughts arise. I wish Nathan would come back to me. But I quickly got rid of those bad thoughts. Nathan is married, after all.

I stared at the night sky in Nathan's backyard. The small garden owned by Bu Fitri is still awake. This is just the activity of Bu Fitri at home. Checking his cake shop only he does a few times a week. Sometimes he asked me to check it. Afraid that something bad might happen to that cake shop.
