Dusk Substitute
Two angels...

"How are you Radit? Long time no see!" As Nissa was friendly, Radit was silent.

Nissa walked gracefully towards Radit. The two promised to meet, to discuss something that had not been asked of them for the past twenty years. Nissa refuses to meet Radit. But Radit's insistence and slight threat, make Nissa weak and lose. Nissa chose to meet Radit at a restaurant not far from Hanna's office. Nissa drives her own car, an independence that momentarily disturbs Radit. In disbelief, Nissa has changed and can do everything herself. Even Nissa's looks were no longer the same. She looks like a successful career woman. Nissa becomes a tough woman who has been untouched by Radit for twenty years.

"My news is not important to you. Your worries are just pleasantries. Twenty years you've been away without news. Now you're back, like we didn't meet for just a few months. Really Nissa, you are cold untouched. As hard as I tried to touch you, my hands were frozen and stiff!" Radit said, without looking at Nissa. Radit looked down, looking for something he couldn't possibly find.

"Sorry!" Nissa said, Radit smiled cynically. As if Nissa's apology was just a meaningless word.

"Twenty-year-old Nissa, that's all you said after meeting me. The promise you made before, didn't keep you warm to me today. Tell me, what's my fault? Until you get this hard on me. Twenty years you've been gone, keeping me away from my two hearts. My beautiful little angel with red cheeks. Now they're grown up and only the hatred they've shown me!" Radit said softly, Nissa nodded weakly. His gaze bowed, the sound of his breathing. Nissa's cue isn't okay.

Nissa was fully aware of her mistake. But blaming is not the right thing today. But focus on finding a way to remove the grief in the hearts of his two little angels. Nissa was guilty, but her heartache was not wrong. The inappropriate attitude of Radit's sister at that time. The reason Nissa chose to retreat and move away from the deep wounds. Although finally, Nissa incised a wound in the hearts of her two beautiful daughters.

"You're not wrong, but my heart misrepresents. If it was then, I would still be the cold Nissa and let the distance between us. There will never be two beautiful princesses between us. Reasons that keep us meeting. Even though I no longer wish to see you!"

"What do you want to say?" Radit said firmly, Nissa smiled knotfully. Nissa remembers the day Radit kept quiet to let it all happen? Without preventing it or asking Nissa to stay. When Nissa returns, Radit blames her. Consider the departure of Nissa the reason her two daughters never wanted to know Radit.

FLASHBACKS

"Finally the princess came home, after spending a lot of money on her treatment costs. Basic spoiled, such pain alone should be hospitalized!" Said Saskia cynical and cold, Sanjaya immediately pulled Saskia's hand. The look of not liking Sanjaya, clearly revealed Sanjaya's anger. The warning Radit said was useless and needless to think about.

"Saskia, shut the fuck up. Remember my sister's warning last night. Never test your patience!" Radit said loudly, Saskia stared.sharp Nissa. As if blaming Nissa for Radit's anger at him. Saskia walked over to Nissa. Amira was ready, her hands clenched perfectly. Amira restrains her anger, waiting for the right time to expose her to Saskia.

"How much more money are you going to spend? My brother works day and night, not just to treat your pain. Especially to meet your family's needs. You're just a debt-ridden woman. So don't be innocent and innocent!" Said Saskia again, Radit and Sanjaya looked at Saskia with anger. Saskia's words cross the line and will be a bomb to Radit and Nissa's relationship.

Saskia was standing right in front of Nissa. Both of her hands were propped up right on the back of Nissa's wheelchair. Amira stared fixedly at Saskia, preparing to fend off the attack on Nissa. Saskia's face looks victorious, she feels satisfied after insulting Nissa. Unknowingly the consequences that Nisa will do.

"Saskia, go back to your room. Otherwise, you will revoke all existing facilities. Saskia fell silent, depriving all the luxury facilities as well as killing her slowly!" Shouted Radit with a furious rage. Saskia was about to walk towards her room. But it stopped, when he felt a hand holding him.

"Let go!" Shouting Saskia, Amira shook her head while smiling sinisterly towards Saskia.

Plaaakkk Plaaakkk

Two slaps landed perfectly on Saskia's face. Right and left with the same feeling of slap. The sound of Amira's slap echoed throughout Radit's house. Everyone fell silent in disbelief, Radit even directly rubbed his face rough. Sanjaya pulls Saskia's hand, asking Saskia to stay away from Radit.

"Amira, enough!" Said Sanjaya defending his daughter, Amira silent noiseless.

"Saskia, before you insult Nissa. Remember the two slaps that landed perfectly on your face!"

"Sister Radit!" Said spoiled Saskia.

"Ask her help, so you can avoid me,. But I'm sure he won't be able to help you!" Said Amira cynically, Saskia inflamed, Radit pulled Saskia's hand. But with all her might, Saskia brushed off Radit's hand. Saskia approached Amira, raising her hand. I will slap Amira in return for Amira's slap.

"Never lift your hand on Amira. He's my sister, my sister. If Radit protects and defends you. I would do the same for Amira!" Nissa said loudly, holding Saskia's hand in the air. Nissa flung Saskia's hands rough, her strength had recovered. Nissa's anger was burning, as Saskia's hand was raised on Amira.

"Saskia, get in your room!"

"I'm gonna stay here, he's been slapping me and I haven't hit back!" Shouted Saskia in anger, Alvira walked over to Saskia. He tried to calm Saskia down. I hope to thank you from Radit.

"Saskia, brother please!" Pinta Radit, Saskia is silent.

"Sister, you scolded me for this cheap woman. He has separated us. I'm your real sister, she's just a cheap, worthless woman!"

"Amira, there's no need to dirty your hands by slapping them. I'm all right? All the treatment I received, no more pay for every luxury I've ever received from this family. I'm not silent because I'm afraid or giving up. I want this family business to be over soon!" said Nissa, then lowered Amira's hand.

"What did you say? Why are you talking like that?" Radit said puzzledly, Nissa smiled wryly. Nissa walked over to Radit and Sanjaya. Standing right in front of Radit, with his eyes softly resisting the cries.

"Saskia, if there's still insults for me to say now. I don't mind, I'm tired of all this falsehood. I can no longer afford to be in a family that considers me contemptible!"

"Nissa is enough, say what you want" Radit said in a high tone and emotion. Nissa pulled Radit's hand, gently kissing Radit's back. A drop of Nissa's tears fell down Radit's hand. The cold is piercing into Radit's heart.

"End all, each of us goes our own way. Forgetting all the love and happiness that ever existed in our lives. Thank you for taking care of me all this time. Sorry, I gave up losing. Forever your sister won't appreciate me and I don't expect. Later my son was insulted at his biological father's house. Like me who was never humanized in my own father's house. Sorry, I have to go!" Nissa said, then walked out of Radit's house. Amira brought all Nissa's belongings.

FLASH BACK OFF

"You keep blaming me, without you trying to get to know them. You're assuming, I'm the reason your two daughters stayed away. I do not expect your loyalty, for I have made you betray. But you must realize, Aira and Hanna are no longer small red-cheeked babies. They're two angels who are beginning to understand life. A long time ago, even after they were five years old. I've introduced them to you. Every activity, where are you? Whatever you do? Who are you happy with? They know it, but they never get close to you. It's not that I kept him away, but your stupidity and your silence the reason they stayed away. You realize Radit, Aira grew up with my cold but ambitious attitude. As long as you know, Aira is not as healthy as Hanna, she has a history of weak bodies. But for the sake of being able to meet that day, he studied endlessly. To get a scholarship sponsored by you. Become an intern at his father's company. Hoping to get to know the father he has known in the photo. As for Hanna, my jolly and energetic second daughter. He was a lamp for Aira, Aira's weak support all this time. Hanna became the best student on the campus. But he chose an online school, so that Hanna could learn business from her grandfather. Yes Radit, Hanna has been working since graduating SMU. He wants to succeed and meet you. Daniel helped Hanna, he educated my daughter very hard. Until there was never a break for Hanna. But trust you, all that for the sake of meeting and knowing you. My two heretics are trying to get to know you. Now tell me, what do you do to find them?"

"Why after twenty years?" Radit said, as if it were never wrong.

"Because they want to make their own decisions. They have the right to vote after twenty years!" Nissa is cold.

"Chose!"

"She chose to be with me or stay with you. They might even live alone!"

"You don't mind!"

"For!" Nissa was astonished, Radit stared fixedly at Nissa.

"They're decisions!"

"Radit, they're not little girls anymore. They can choose right and wrong. I believe in their decision. From childhood, I educated them with full responsibility. It's not easy being a mother to two daughters at once. I choose to be a friend, rather than a parent setting up!"

"Then, what's my position?" Radit cold sahut.

"For ever you are their father, no one will replace you or take your place. It is like the success you have now. You try with all your might, to achieve all that. Now, try to reach your daughter's heart. So that your position as a father will remain forever!" Nissa said calmly, Radit lowered his head.

"Could it!" Sahut Radit hesitated, Nissa smiled wryly.

"All possible, on condition that you want to try it!" Nissa said, Radit looked down. Given the cold attitude of Aira and Hana towards him. Making Radit feel bad, to fight for the hearts of Aira and Hana. It was as if his struggle had been in vain, with no definite result.

"Why silence? You are afraid of struggling or ashamed, if you fail to fight!"

"Nissa, you've humbled me enough. I was a failed father. I don't want to ruin their happiness with my ego. I just want to be known, not hated!" Radit shrewdly, with his head bowed.

"Then fight now. Look back, they're here. Remember Radit, opportunities don't come twice!" Nissa said, staring at the entrance. Aira and Hana come together. Unbeknownst to Radit, Nissa asks Aira and Hana to come to the restaurant.

"Lisa!"

"They're your daughters, touch their hearts. Two angels among us!" Sahut Nissa flat.
