Dusk Substitute

Dusk Substitute
The Hospital Park


"Give me one chance, I'll change everything. I'll make you believe, if only you meant anything to me!"


"Should I survive!" inner Nissa, just after Nissa recalled what Radit said last night.


Nissa was pensive in the hustle and bustle of the hospital. The dawn went to bring its warmth, and now the morning sun with its heat. The reason Nissa was in the hospital park. Amira accidentally takes Nissa for a morning walk. Just feel the warm morning sunlight and the cold morning breeze. For almost a week, Nissa was in the hospital. Today, Nissa is going home. Decisions Nissa must make. Decide where he'll stay? With Radit or live alone with his future baby.


Since last night Nissa was looking for the best decision, but no decision without leaving pain. Nissa was worried about having to go away by leaving pain in Radit's heart. Survive with pain that cannot be said and no words can express it. Nissa was really worried, tired of thinking about which choice she should take.


"Nissa, you're alone!"


"Doctor Alan!" Nissa said, Alan nodded slowly. A handsome doctor who is now an idol in the hospital. His good looks and cleverness emanate from the two eyes hidden behind the glasses. The man who once knocked, even filled the void of Nissa's heart.


"Enough Alan!" Alan said, Nissa was silent. Nissa's headband, Nissa's signal never agreed with Alan's words.


"You're different, not the Alan I used to know. You are now a great specialist. It is not appropriate that I call you by name alone. After all these years, everything has changed!" Nissa said, Alan sighed.


A clear fact Nissa wanted to say. The distance that Nissa wanted to push. The relationship is limited to doctors and patients who want Nissa to show. It's all in the past, though the story still sticks with Nissa and Alan. The happiness that once filled Nissa's empty day. The happy laughter that once wiped away Nissa's tears. Now there is nothing more than a wound that has ever been cut in him. The presence of Alan, did not necessarily make Nissa's heart melt.


"I'm still Alan, this white coat doesn't make me change. Nissa, I'm not gonna defend myself. I did hurt you, leaving a very painful wound in your heart. Believe it or not, I am not a liar. The love for you is still intact, not lost in the slightest. Even though my race no longer deserves you. For your heart has turned away and I do not wish to destroy your happiness. By taking the promise that was once said between us!" alan said, Nissa turned her head straight away. Alan's words were true, a promise that was once said. Unknowingly been violated by Nissa


Deg Deg Deg


"Promise!" Muttering Nissa, Alan smiled wryly. A sweet smile that showed her dimples. Charisma that is not easily rejected by women. Including Nissa who had been devastated in Alan's love. Long before Nissa understood the true meaning of love and marriage.


"Yes, the promise that was once said. When we raise our hearts for each other. But take it easy Nissa, I won't ask you to keep your promise. I will not force you to be by my side. If I want you by my side, it's not because of a promise between us. But your heart still holds my name!" Alan said, Nissa was silent. The hospital felt empty. Nissa felt innocent, she forgot the promise she once made. A promise that has now become a debt. Nissa was silent in concern, Alan stared fixedly at Nissa. Beauty that once fascinated her. It is no longer worth seeing.


"Sorry!"


"Obviously you don't deserve to be with Nissa. It wasn't Nissa who made a promise between you. Instead, it is you who broke that promise. Now, after a few years you're gone. You come without guilt, even saying the guilty Nissa has betrayed your love!" Said Amira loudly, Alan and Nissa immediately turned their heads. Alan looked in surprise, hearing Amira's words. Not understanding the direction Amira said. While Nissa just silent, do not want to bring up the wound that has dried up.


Amira came with two bottles of mineral water. From the very beginning Alan approached Nissa, Amira had already seen him. But Amira chose to stay away, giving time to Nissa and Alan. Saying the words stored in their hearts. Amira gets to know Alan and Nissa, the only people who know Nissa's happiness and wounds after Alan's departure.


"Me, why me? I have been loyal to my race all this time. No one replaces Nissa, no woman matches Nissa. So, what's the reason you blame me?" As Alan allowed himself, Amira smiled cynically.


"Here, the reason I blame you. You may not realize it, but your family has said it out loud. If Nissa doesn't deserve to be his son-in-law. Not only that, they brought your engagement invitation. On the happiest day of Nissa's life. The most painful graduation gift, looking at you standing in the hand of the woman who is now your wife!" Shouting Amira full of anger, Alan took a few steps back. His gaze blurred, his heart ached. He felt the destruction of Nissa at that moment. When Nissa saw her engagement, but the engagement only lasted a year. Because Alan is unable to open his heart, for the woman he is betrothed to.


"Who sent this to you?" alan said stammered, Amira looked at Alan coldly.


"You're Alan's hypocrite, feeling hurt when you hurt!"


"Nissa, I swear to you and her there's no relationship anymore!"


"Slow Alan, maybe when Nissa wakes up. Nissa called your name, not her husband's. But realize Alan, it's not love. It was rather an open wound, when Nissa heard your voice!"


"Nissa, I'm sorry!"


"Nothing's stuck in my heart for you. I'm focused on my baby, not you or my husband!" Nissa's final and leave immediately.


"He's a man who's been in your heart and your life. You love her so much!" muttered Radit, while staring fixedly at Nissa.


"Is it painful? That's how Nissa feels, when you take your relationship with Alvira for granted!" Said Zahra right next to Radit.
