Dusk Substitute
Honesty Painful

"Excuse me big master, you're sober!" seductive Rayhan, Radit raised his face. Rayhan's voice broke Radit's daydream. Rayhan is Radit's personal assistant.

Radit sighed, along with his body leaning against his seat of greatness. Rayhan smiled at Radit's attitude. Love in Radit's two eyes. The love that was initially rejected by him and now even makes Radit trapped. Radit has been looking bad since morning. Even during the meeting, Radit lost his focus. Rayhan saw the unusual attitude of his best friend. There is no cold Radit, now only Radit is left in front of love. A taste that once destroyed it, a taste that made Radit hurt without pus.

"Lisa!" rayhan said, Radit remained silent. Rayhan smiled, Radit showed clearly the attitude of people who are upset about love.

"You love him!"

"Come away!" sahut Radit flat, Rayhan nodded slowly. Admitting Radit's words, for the sake of honesty in Radit's heart.

"Nissa's a good woman, she's a mother who loves Zain my niece. You should love him!"

"But!"

"Honestly Radit, she's a good woman. It's not appropriate for you to judge Nissa as her!" rayhan said, Radit lowered his head.

"Roman!"

"What's wrong?" sahut Radit was flat, as Rayhan called out to him questioningly.

"Ask your heart, is the woman now in your heart and mind. Or she's the same woman, the woman you wanted to destroy to avenge her family's pride!" rayhan said firmly, Radit shook his head slowly. Radit was unable to answer Rayhan's question.

"Five months I lived with him, I began to feel comfortable with his affection for Zain. I couldn't hurt him, even now he's in my heart!" said Radit lirih, Rayhan silently stared fixedly at his best friend.

Rayhan recalls clearly the reason for Radit's marriage to Nissa. Debt is just an excuse, there's something bigger than that. The pain in a father's heart. Radit felt a very sick wound, when he heard Ardi's contempt for his son's weakness. A word that was spoken accidentally and became the beginning of a grudge in Radit's heart. Destroying Ardi's daughter's life, becomes Radit's life's goal. Destroying Ardi's business is just an excuse, but Ardi's pain sees his daughter hurt and humiliated. It was the biggest reason in his heart.

"Want to!"

"Let's Rayhan, I'm starting to love him. I really love her. But I'm afraid, if he ever finds out my reason. He'll hate me and get away from me!"

"He doesn't know it, as long as no one says it. His company and family business are already in your control. At least your pain has paid off. Forget your grudges, live happily with her!" rayhan said, Radit was silent. Rayhan's words are not wrong, but he thinks everything is fine. It's not easy, looking at Nissa's face will make Radit feel guilty.

"Radit, forget your fears. Nissa will never know why you married her. Now calm your mind, be happy with Nissa and Zain!" rayhan said, Radit nodded slowly. Rayhan stood up, leaving Radit distraught with fear.

"Radit, in ten minutes we have a meeting. That overseas investor wants to meet you in person!" rayhan said, right at the door. Rayhan's hand held the door algae. Rayhan prepares to open the door, but is stopped when he remembers the reason for coming to Radit's room.

Kreeeeekkk

"Lisa!" rayhan said softly, Nissa was standing right in front of the door. Radit immediately turned his head, he saw Nissa coming with a lunchbox. Rayhan rubbed his face, noticing something Nissa heard. Radit runs up to Nissa, and Radit's fear ensues. Nissa was standing right in front of him. Rayhan was confused, all momentarily silent. Silent without a sound, Radit's heart beat sounded so intense.

"Lisa!"

"I came to bring you lunch. This morning, you didn't have breakfast!" said Nissa giving a loud to Radit.

Radit clasped Nissa's hand, but slowly Nissa brushed him off. Nissa gave Radit a bushel of food. Rayhan fell silent, there was nothing he could do. Going is not the right thing, staying between Nissa and Radit. Rayhan is not capable. Nissa placed the bushel on the waiting room table. Radit was glued, his honesty sounded so painful to Nissa.

"Lisa!" said Radit, holding Nissa's hand. Instantly Nissa turned her head, Radit's countenance lethargic. Nissa's gaze, salt tub on top of her wound.

"Eat, it's noon. I'm going back to school!" sahut Nissa was flat with no expression.

"Nissa, don't be like this. Get angry and slap me, but don't be cold!"

"I have to go to school, my break is over. Honorary employees like me, can't just take a day off. My debt to you is not paid off, there is no right to rest. I have done my duty as a wife. Now let me go, at least for the sake of my magic!" nissa said softly with a stifled voice. Radit's heart ached. Nissa's words sounded ordinary, but hurtful. Rayhan shook his head weakly, Rayhan chose to stand to the side.

"I beg you, forgive me!"

"You're innocent, what's the apology for? A wife should be devoted to her husband. Obligations that make a husband arrogant and selfish. Thank you, you have appreciated me all along. Whatever your reasons, I'll be by your side. Accepting all the pain my father once inflicted!"

"Nissa, I'm sorry!" radit said, Nissa shook her head weakly.

"You deserve to do all that. A father will feel the pain of his son. A father will be destroyed when his son is humiliated. A father will be fragile when he sees his son's tears. A father is capable of being cruel, in order to avenge his son's pain. And a father will do everything, as long as his son is happy. I'll do the same, destroy the life of the man who insulted my son. So never blame yourself. If it destroys me, the way you avenge my son Zain's pain!"

"Nissa, I'm sorry!"radit said, Nissa shook her head. A smile, felt like a sharp dagger. Nissa made Radit's heart ache.

"I don't blame you, but give me time!"

"For!"

"Understanding my heart, realizing this self in your life!" nissa said, Radit was silent. It's not easy anymore, Nissa has said her heart. Relationships that have just been established, now seem bland.

"Finally, my wish came true. Your happy life is over, just the misery you deserve!" syakira said, Radit and Nissa turned their heads. Syakira comes with Ardi, he's one of the directors at Ardi's company. That's why he came to see Radit. Ardi looked down lethargic, hearing all the wounds Nissa had to bear.

"Master, you heard it yourself. My sister, pray for my misery. My father bowed and fell silent, hearing the prayer of his daughter's destruction. So no matter how big of a wound you inflict on me. It won't hurt me or my family will be destroyed. My true pain, when my family ignored me!"

"Nissa, I care about you!"

Drrrtt Drrrrtt Drrrrtt

"Sorry, I have to go!" nissa said, saying goodbye to Radit. Shortly after he received a chat from someone.

"Lisa!" calling Radit, Nissa turned her head and nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry, if my love is finally broken!" inner Nissa pilu.

"I'm fine!" say Nissa with a smile.

"Nissa, why do I feel like your smile is so painful?" batin Radit pilu's.

"Mr Radit, we need a meeting!"

"Rayhan, stop injecting money into Mr. Ardi's company!" said Radit coldly, then chased after Nissa.

"I'll prove my love is sincere, I'll make you happy!" batin Radit, while running after Nissa.
