Dusk Substitute
Treasure-bound

"Where's madam?" radit told Ifa.

"Where is he?" said Radit loudly, Ifa looked down in fear.

Since last night, Radit hasn't met Nissa. Radit stayed overnight in the hospital. Zain had a high fever and his body began to spasm. Radit took Zain to the hospital. Radit takes care of Zain along with Alvira. Radit tried to contact Nissa, but Nissa's smartphone was off. I want Radit running home. Looking for the shadow of Nissa who left him with guilt. But Zain did not let go of his hand. Zain clasped Radit's hand. As a result, Radit just got home this morning. Radit has to explain all his problems with Nissa.

"Where?" radit said a third time.

"Mother!" ifa said restrained, Radit felt suspicious. Radit ran towards his room. Radit felt something had happened. Radit's fear grew even greater, when he saw the door of his room open. It looks like the bed is still neat, obviously Nissa did not sleep in the room.

"Lisa!" radit shouted from the second floor. Radit's voice echoed, waking everyone from his sleep.

It is still very early in the morning, the clock is still showing at 05.00 WIB. Radit's confidence is instantly gone, when he does not find Nissa in his room. Radit is upset, realizing that Nissa is not there. Radit descended to the second floor, he stared intently at Ifa. Figuring out Nissa's whereabouts, but Ifa silences as if Radit's answer to the question.

"Radit, Nissa's in her room. Why are you screaming?"

"He's not in the room, I've been looking for him. Where's Nissa? There's no way he's gone, but you don't know!" said Radit annoyed, Sanjaya silent silence.

Nissa left without telling anyone? More precisely, since yesterday morning Nissa did not come home. Where the hell is Nissa? One thing is certain, however, Nissa goes away from Radit. Nissa disappeared again, Radit and Nissa's quarrel made a gaping wound in Nissa's heart. But given Nissa's persona, it's impossible for Nissa to leave without talking to Radit. Nissa may be stubborn, but she's not an ungodly wife. Nissa really appreciated Radit as her husband. Nissa wouldn't hurt Radit's self-esteem, for the sake of her momentary anger.

"Where are you Nissa? That's how angry you are, until you leave without saying goodbye to me. Right now, I need your support. Why are you angry and you are gone from me? Where are you now? I miss Zain, he's the reason I breathe. But trust me, Nissa, you're my only betrothed. I lost my mind, away from you!" inner Radit Piteous, his head bowed and left behind such great regret.

"Assalammualaikum!" said Nissa quietly, Radit immediately looked up. Radit's sad gaze, the missed figure standing not far from him. Nissa walked without guilt. Nissa came without a burden, her face looked shady and beautiful.

"Where are you? Why go without saying goodbye? Almost, I lost my mind thinking about you!" said Radit, while cupping Nissa's hands. Radit's hand grip is too hard. Until Nissa whimpered in pain.

"I'm coming home!"

"Home, this is your house!" radit said, Nissa shook her head slowly. Nissa releases Radit's hand, Nissa's cold attitude freezes Nissa's body.

"This house is not my home, I deserve to be here when you are. Sorry, if I'm stubborn and selfish. I'm just afraid of mispositioning myself!"

Nissa continued to step up, she went inside her room. As if nothing had happened to him. After changing clothes, Nissa prepared her teaching materials. Radit was glued, not moving from his place. Nissa's indifference, feeling so cold and freezing her body. Sanjaya was stunned, looking at the weak son. Radit seems devastated, accepting Nissa's attitude.

Tap Tap Tap

"Lisa!" greeting Radit, Nissa stopped her steps. Nissa pulled Radit's hand, kissed Radit warmly on the back. Bakti Nissa is sincere proof of his love for Radit. His disappointment was deep buried at the end of his ego. Nissa didn't show her jealousy. Nissa tried to stay calm, so Radit wouldn't be burdened with his jealousy.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't make you breakfast this morning. There's a meeting scheduled out of town, maybe I'm not going home. But believe me, I am well and always keep my chastity. Sorry, I can't see Zain in the hospital. I keep praying, I hope you get well soon!" nissa said, shortly after kissing the back of Radit's hand. Nissa's calmness, real aggravates the fear in Radit's heart. Worry about choosing, between Zain or Nissa. A choice Radit could never have chosen.

"Don't go!" whispered Radit, while hugging tightly Nissa's body. Radit pulled Nissa's body into his warm deck. Nissa was stunned, feeling the warm embrace of Radit again. After the cold attitude of Radit and the clashing of Radit yesterday morning.

Radit hugged Nissa tightly, but not the other way around. Nissa chose silence, not returning Radit's embrace. Nissa was like a soulless body, her heart was too sick. His love for Radit was so great that Nissa felt a terrible pain. When I heard one of Radit's. Nissa's soul crumbled, upon hearing Radit's doubts about her. A woman's hard and selfish attitude. Wounded, with just one painful word from the person he loves the most. Devastated, when tired and sick.

"You promised me you wouldn't put me in your golden cage. You agreed to work for me to pay off my debt to you. If I had to stop, I would stop teaching. But let me work for you, become ART in this house even if I'm willing to!" nissa said softly, Radit suddenly released his embrace. Radit's heart stopped beating, Nissa's words sounded soft. But painful to hear.

"Go!" radit said briefly, Nissa nodded without hesitation. Nissa just passed Radit. Radit freezes.

"Lisa!" call Radit full of sorrow. Nissa turned her head, looking Radit down and behind her.

Nissa felt her heartbeat thump. Nissa felt a strange feeling. Radit's voice sounded different, for a moment Nissa was afraid to hear Radit's words. But, whatever happens? Nissa should be ready to hear Radit's decision. Every choice has its own sacrifice. Including Nissa's decision to be cold to Radit.

"I'll let you go, if you want to go. I won't restrain you. You deserve to be happy and I will never be able to make you happy. If you're happy without me, tell me. I'll let you go, to make up for the happiness I took from you. A man like me, does not deserve to be your priest. Sorry, it's been disappointing you all along. I'll make sure your life is okay. I will give the same rights to the son in your confinement. I'll leave my treasure to him and Zain. I won't hold you back anymore. Sorry, if I had to admit defeat. Zain my son, I can't get away from him. If you're happy without me, I'll let you go. Soon I will share my treasure. The son in your womb will not lack anything!" said Radit Lirih, Nissa was silent.

"My love is a treasure, that's what you have in mind. My jealousy means nothing to you. Take this away our love, until you replace it with treasure!" inner Nissa, while pressing her chest slowly.

"Thank you!" sahut Nissa was down, and out of Radit's house.

"Nissaaaa!" radit shouted loudly and echoed.
