Dusk For Nathan 2
65

Dedi stopped his steps while swallowing the coarse salivary. With anxious feelings he turned his head back towards Nathan who was still sitting on the edge of the table while looking at him sharply.

" What's up, sir?" Ted was a little nervous.

Nathan smiled faintly. " The money in that safe is now moving in your bag. It's not your right."

" S-s-s-I didn't bring any money." Dust again.

" If I had to take it out then our business would end up in the police station." Threaten Nathan this time he's not playing.

" No, sir." Dedi was quick and immediately pulled out some of the money he had put in the bag while Nathan was talking to the workers.

" I hope you can be honest in your new place." Nathan said coldly with eyes still staring at Dedi who was shakily putting the money on the table.

" I'm sorry." Dedi's words this time were not written by Nathan.

*****

Dusk just stirring his drink saw Friska busy with her phone. Unwillingness they meet in a shopping center then Friska invites Dusk to lunch together. Even though he was rejected, he still forced Dusk.

" I'm sorry about Dusk. I've been a little busy lately. Here are some companies offering to work with me." Said Friska and put her phone back on.

" I understand. My husband is like that sometimes." Sahut Dusk.

" Oh yeah. How are your husband and son today? Are they okay?" Friska is stale.

" Why should I ask my husband?" Ask Dusk with squeaking eyes. " Didn't you meet her at the office?" Ask Dusk again.

Friska was wrong. " That's not what I meant. I'm just asking you for news. Not more." Friska is still evasive. But what Dusk said was right. This morning he couldn't see Nathan. I don't know where that guy is today. Friska's heart is troubled if she has not met him and does not know the news about him.

" My husband is fine." Said Dusk in a cynical tone. " I'm sorry I couldn't take long. I'm just authorized to shop for my in-laws. Not for a long chat." The twilight is trying to leave. Lazy to see Friska continue to play in front of him.

Before he went to the supermarket. Silvi reports that Friska wants to see Nathan. But Silvi answered as Dusk had commanded. Silvi did not reveal Nathan's location. He just said Nathan wasn't in place.

A woman who has been trying to meet her husband lately. Always trying to get her husband's attention. Dusk just wants to keep his household. That'sthat's all.

" Are you mad at me, Dusk?" Friska again felt stale with her innocent face.

" no. I just don't want to stay out of the house for long. I'm first yeah." Say Dusk again and leave Friska still staring at him.

Dusk breathed a sigh of relief as he no longer saw Friska. A friend who is like two-faced. Very sweet in front of Dusk actually he wants Dusk to make Dusk suffer.

Dusk stands in front of the lobby mall waiting for his online taxi order. Several times he looked at his phone to check the location of the driver who would pick him up. But suddenly.

'TIN'

A red sedan car stopped right in front of Dusk. The glass was open until the driver was in the car. A tall man was almost similar to Nathan's posture. But the difference is this guy has a little long hair.

" Twilight. Come inside. I'll drive you." Said the man.

Dusk smile. " No thank you. I've booked a taxi online." Dusk refused his subtle invitation.

" Cancel aja's. Let me take you."

" I don't want to bother." The dusk refused.

" My witness has arrived. I'm first yeah." Said Dusk still refused and immediately passed to the white SUV car that stopped behind Riza's car.

Riza clucked in annoyance because somehow for how many times. The dusk always refused. Riza hit the steering wheel slowly and was forced to drive her car.

Without Dusk realize. From the mall, Riza quietly followed the car in the Dusk. Riza was very curious about the life of Dusk. What her husband looks like because Dusk still rejects her.

Dusk came down from the car that was on the side and at a glance he saw Riza's car stopped in front of a house that was only about two houses away from his house. Dusk did not want to think badly of his friend. So he just walked into his house.

" Assalammu'alaikum." Sapa Dusk carefree to his son and father-in-law who were busy watching tv together.

" Na'alaikumsalam." Sahut Gio and Bu Fitri together.

Dusk put his groceries on the dining table. Bi Sumi deftly helped Dusk take out Dusk groceries and arrange them in the refrigerator and there was something he washed first before being stored.

Dusk approached Gio and sat down beside him.

" How long?" Ask Bu Fitri who was amazed to see his daughter-in-law coming home a little late.

" yes.. Sorry Ma'am. I accidentally met you. He's making sure I'm having lunch together." Answer Dusk.

" Friends?" Bu Fitri. Dusk nodded quickly.

" My schoolmate. Nathan knows it too. Name's Friska. That's why I'm going home first."

Bu Fitri smiled and nodded in understanding. He knows his son-in-law very well. There was no way he would betray his son. He was only worried if something happened outside and Dusk did not want to tell a story.

" Mom don't worry. Dusk will be fine." said Dusk who understood if his in-laws were very worried. " I'm sorry I didn't hear." He hugged Bu Fitri.

" Yes my favorite son." Said Bu Fitri anxious and pulled the twilight nose plan.

Gio hugged Dusk and Bu Fitri. The three of them laughed together enjoying each atmosphere.

Bu Fitri stared at her beautiful daughter-in-law. Behind her beauty and joy. There was a very deep wound in him. The journey of life is very winding and steep. He had to face it until finally the marriage was able to remove the sadness little by little.

" Next week at school I have an event, Ma." Said Gio staring at Dusk with his innocent gaze.

" Oh yeah? What show?"

" Art Show. There's drama. The dance. Chanting. And many more Ma." Gio's story is enthusiastic.

" Mom should come." Sahut Dusk.

" Take Papa, Ma." Gio Pinta. " Gio wants Gio's friends to know that Gio has papa."

Dusk stroked the soft shoots of Gio's head and threw a smile. " Why should Gio's friends know?"

Gio bowed. His face turned sad.

" Gio why?" Tanya Dusk now crouched down in front of Gio aligned their faces.

" Gio doesn't want to say he doesn't have Papa. Gio also said that Papa Gio is not clear." His complaints with his face were getting sad.
