Dusk For Nathan 2
70

Dusk who had just returned to the front of the stage to see the show was immediately surrounded by mothers who had been watching them.

" I'm sorry, Mom, before. Is that really mom's husband?" Ask the fat mothers who used to gossip about him.

" yes. Didn't you ever split with Gio's dad, did you?" Sahut thin-bodied mothers dressed in flower motifs.

" I'm sorry, mom. He is my husband. We decided to get married for Gio's sake. He always said he didn't have Papa. As a good and responsible father. He didn't want his son to be treated like that just because he wasn't always by his side." Answer Dusk with a cynical tone.

" I'm sorry. All this time we didn't know if it turned out Papa Gio was that handsome. Gio's pantes are also handsome." Connect a young mother with a thick makeup.

Dusk only responded with a smile and immediately headed towards the chair he had just occupied. I felt a little surprised by them. They came here to see their son's show or to gossip.

" Gio's problem is over, baby." Nathan said as he sat beside Dusk.

Smiling to see her husband. " Safe to you too. Being the center of attention." Twilight Whispers.

Nathan looked at his wife not understanding.

" Look at a bunch of moms there." Dusk pointed at the mothers who were covering her like flies still seen stealing a glance at her husband.

" And there too." Dusk also pointed towards the group of teachers who were indeed seen stealing glances as well.

Nathan just scratched his head that wasn't itchy. I don't understand why it could be like that. He only intends to meet Gio's friends. Fulfilling his promise to Gio.

" You're a celebrity." Said Dusk cynically.

" Am I coming home now?" Nathan's whispers don't want to be looked at like that by them and make his wife jealous.

" Watch until it's done. No more going back to the office. Let them enjoy the sights they shouldn't." Bisik Dusk annoyed. I want him to curse them. The sun never does any trouble to them. But why are they so happy to shake it. Even instigated their children until there was bullying to Gio.

The day has shown at three in the afternoon. The art show at Gio's school has been completed. One by one the students and their parents left the location.

Gio ran over to Nathan and Dusk. He hugged Nathan tightly.

" Thank you, Pa. Because Papa Gio became friends with Bagas." Gio softly said.

" Same-same baby. I'm sorry, Papa just got to know Gio's friend now."

" yes. It's okay. Papa is busy." Gio peeked at Nathan's cheeks crouching before him.

" Mama Gio's. Excuse me earlier." The cry of a curly-haired mother approached those who wanted to go to the parking lot.

" What's up?" Ask Dusk.

" We want Mama Gio to take a picture together. Make memories." His word.

Dusk looked at Nathan as if asking for permission. Nathan nodded in allowing.

" If you can follow me too." Said the Mother.

Dusk understood the mother's intentions. He is not the one who wants to take pictures. Except her husband. Dusk rattled and immediately pulled her husband's hand towards the parking lot.

Nathan just followed his wife's will. The mother only remained silent when Dusk left her without permission.

*****

" Assalammu'alaikum." Sapa Dusk and Gio who had just entered their house.

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

Dusk was a little surprised by the arrival of Nabila at his home. He doesn't usually come to his house.

" Lohs. You don't usually come to my house. What's the need?" Ask Dusk and sit on the living room sofa.

" Just be honest. I'm gonna go see Nathan. I was looking for her in the office but Silvi said she came home early today. So I'm here." Answer Nabila as relaxed as possible.

" Oh so. Is there a problem in your work?"

" Nothing. But I have other business with Nathan. Can I take her out for a minute?" Ask Nabila at once asking for permission.

" Why not just talk here?" A little objection.

" This is my personal matter, Dusk. And only your husband can solve the problem." Nabila.

Dusk thought a little and finally nodded in agreement.

Nabila smiled and it just so happened that Nathan had just walked into the house. Looking at the wonder there is Nabila there.

" We're out. I have something to talk to you about." Say Nabila and pull Nathan's arm.

The confused Nathan looked at Dusk questioningly and Dusk replied with a nod.

" Why not talk at home?" Nathan asked as they were on their way. They used Nabila's car.

" It's personal. And I don't want your wife to misunderstand." Say Nabila firmly.

Nathan took a deep breath and was silent. I don't know what Nabila wants to talk to him until he has to avoid Dusk.

They arrived at a fancy restaurant. I booked a VIP place there. Nathan just followed Nabila's steps. Although his head was full of questions but he was silent. Hold all questions until they are answered by themselves.

" What should a VIP venue like this be?" Nathan asked felt a little strange.

" should. I don't want to be on the news for eating with a married man." Said Nabila relaxed.

Nathan just nodded in understanding. He stared at the menu on the table and chose a few menus. Same with Nabila.

" What do you really want to talk about?" Nathan asked impatiently.

" Patience first. We enjoy the food first. I just told you the problem." Said Nabila relaxed.

A few minutes later, all the food they ordered was in session and Nabila ate the food. It's different with Nathan. He eats very casually. It looks like it's not tasteful.

" Eat, Nath."

" You don't mean anything else, do you?" nathan was a little suspicious of Nabila. This incident reminded him of his time with Sintia first. He was caught in an uncomfortable situation.

Nabila laughs. " Do you think I'm like Sintia?" Nathan shook his head. " So what's the problem? I'm just taking you out to eat together. No intention of keeping you." Nabila explained as if she knew what Nathan was thinking.

" What do you want to talk about?" Nathan urges.

Nabila looked at Nathan. " I just want to express my heart. No other meaning. I just want to get back to living my life normally again. It doesn't feel good to keep harboring this." Nabila started the conversation.

" What thing?" Nathan asked and went back to bribing the steak that was still half there.

" When we met at the hotel that day. Honestly, I'm in love with you, Nath."

" Uhuk..Uhuk.. Uhuk.." Nathan chokes.

" Drink first." Nabila deftly patted Nathan's back and thrust mineral water at him.

" You're kidding me, right?" Look at Nathan when his cough subsides.

" no. I'm serious."
