Dusk For Nathan 2
5

Ayuna looked at me coldly when she found out that I had just come out of Nathan's guest room. Tumben once he visited Bu Fitri's house. Especially so early. What's with his gaze that makes me a little uncomfortable.

" Nathan should be home late. It's you, Dusk." Ayuna said a little bit like a person who was insinuating.

" sthat mean?"

" Do you know that Nathan came home late yesterday?!" Ayuna's tone was like one being accused

" Yes." Yeah."

" You guys made a pact to meet here? Didn't know if it turns out behind me you're still playing." Ayuna launched her accusation.

" Astagfirullah. We didn't make a deal. I came here because I was asked by Ms. Fitri. He's alone at home." I'm trying to explain.

"It's a perfect coincidence." Ayuna said sniffled and left me glued to her in disbelief.

It was very painful to hear Ayuna's accusation against me. All this time I've been holding my race back on Nathan.

" We're home!" Ayuna still ketus invite Nathan who is busy playing ball with Gio.

" We're just here, Na. I haven't come back from the market either."

" You want to wait for mom or intentionally so you can linger to meet, Dusk?!" Hardik Ayuna to Nathan.

Nathan stared at Ayuna. His sharp gaze held back anger.

" Don't get me wrong." Nathan said in a soft tone. Ayuna seemed to reject Nathan's good attitude.

" We're talking inside." Persuade Nathan and gently draw his wife's hand.

" Why are you? Suddenly thought I was cheating with Dusk?"

" This is the proof of Nath. Simultaneously you came to mother's house. I didn't know you were here yesterday!" Omel Ayuna's. I just stood there listening to his accusations.

" I'm not cheating. The twilight came when I was about to go home."

" LIED!" Hardik Ayuna again. I don't know why with him today. What's been poisoning his brain to think me and Nathan are cheating.

Nathan only took a breath in restraining his anger. Ayuna turned to look at me sharply. He slowly approached me and arrived.

' PLAQUE!'

Ayuna slapped my cheek hard. Instantly I held onto my cheek which was hot from her slap.

" You satisfied?!" Hard again.

" What satisfaction?! Your husband just touched me, didn't he?!" I yelled at her who was upset by her slap.

" You wish you could sleep with my husband?!" He said again with glaring eyes.

God, how could he say that. I just kept my anger in check. Currently explained as anything will be free. Ayuna was burning with jealousy.

" Enough, Na."

Nathan immediately pulled his wife's hand away from me. But Ayuna instead turned to hit Nathan's chest. Crying broke.

Nathan is initially overwhelmed but eventually manages to hug Ayuna to calm her down.

" Don't be like this, Na." Nathan's whispers are soft on Ayuna.

" Why are you cheating?! Less what am I?!" He accuses her again in between her tears.

" Wait for mom to come. Let him explain." Nathan hugged Ayuna.

I immediately walked out to the front porch. Watch over Gio playing alone in Nathan's yard. Ayuna's slap was still very painful. Not just on the cheek but on the heart. Is that as low as I am in his eyes?.

I welcome Bu Fitri. I'll grab her shopping bag soon.

" It's okay, Mom." I answered briefly and immediately stepped into the house.

We sat in the chair in the dining room. Bu Fitri also explained about my arrival and also the sudden arrival of Nathan. Not to forget also he told about the arrival of Angel and his father last night.

Ayuna silently listened and looked at me with a guilty look for accusing us.

" Where do you get information that Nathan and Dusk are cheating on you?" Ask Bu Fitri.

Ayuna just bowed and shook her head. I don't know what that means.

" Don't be like this again, Na." Nathan said softly.

" I'm sorry."

" I'm sorry my wife, Dusk." Nathan glanced at me.

" Yes." Yeah." Answer with a heavy heart. I just don't want this problem to drag on.

" Mom, I and Gio should just go home." Sayamku. It feels uncomfortable to be here for a long time.

" No, Dusk." Prevent Bu Fitri.

" Sorry, Mom. These accusations deeply tarnished my pride. I'm not a cheap woman." I said and immediately the clear circle fell back from my eye. This heart still hurts. Sorry not enough to treat this heart.

" I'm sorry, Dusk." Ayuna said and took my hand.

" Yes." Yeah." My words were short and soon passed from before them.

The person who I have always admired the greatness of his heart was able to inflict this kind of wound. Without any evidence. She easily accused me and her husband of cheating. That's how low I was in his eyes.

I immediately took Gio away from Nathan's house. No word of prevention came out of Nathan or his mother.

Ms. Fitri just apologized, so asking me here was a misunderstanding. This soul seems to drift somewhere. Why should my fate be like this? Whether my decision to leave Nathan was wrong is the price I paid.

Being looked down upon for having children outside of marriage. But this is not all my will. My future is ruined because of that. I almost went crazy for him.

My tears fell unbearably. All past events are back in my memory. How the b*j*ngan treat me like an animal. It would be disgusting to remember that. Why didn't I just die at that time. Without feeling slow my world feels dark.

And...

" Papa.. Mama fell!" I heard Gio's panicked scream. And the rest I don't remember anymore.

*****

I don't know how many hours I fainted. I found myself lying weakly in Nathan's guest room. I found Ayuna and Nathan looking at me anxiously. Gio was in Nathan's arms no less worried about them.

" Thank God you're sober." Ayuna said happily as I opened my eyes.

" Mama." Gio sprang up immediately hugging me tightly.

" What are you, Dusk?" Ayuna asked gently and tried to hold my hand but I immediately refused. My heart still hurts from his accusations.

" I'm sorry, Dusk." Say Ayuna again with regret.

" I don't want any of this to happen to me, Na. If I don't leave your husband first. I'm sure I'm his wife." My rag. " I'm pregnant, Na. I just don't want him to endure everything that's happened to my life. Why does it have to be this expensive to pay for it." I'm getting shaken up.

Nathan took Gio out of my arms and took him out. A moment later he came back in and hugged me tightly. It is as calming as ever. The warm embrace I miss. I know if he doesn't want that farewell. I knew that at that time his heart was much more hurt than mine.

" Then let it pass, twilight." He said softly and took off his embrace from me which was beginning to calm down.

" I know exactly what you're going through. You are not alone. There's still me, Ayuna and my mother where you lean."

" I'm sorry, Dusk." Say Ayuna again. " If Nathan wants to take you. I'm willing to." Ayuna said with a bowed face.
