Earth Without Dusk
111. Been in Love with me for a long time

Andika and Liliana entered the room where Dusk was being treated. Liliana put the bag she was carrying on the sofa and followed Andika to Earth.

“Earth...” call Andika while holding her shoulder.

The earth seemed to have just awakened from its long daydream. He blinked his eyes a few times and looked at Andika who was standing next to him.

“Mr Andika?” lirih Earth.

Andika nodded. “Yes, it's me. Can I just call your name directly without using the word Master in front of him?”

“Terupon Mister only,” replied Earth and then looked back at Dusk.

Andika and Liliana looked at each other. It seems like the Earth does not really care about their existence there. All he cared about was the twilight.

“Earth, are you so close to Dusk?” ask Andika again.

The silent earth did not answer. Asked like that, he wanted to tell a story. But diurentkan. He just harbors his feelings.

“Do you know Dusk likes to write about you?” andika asked again provoking the reaction of the Earth.

The earth turned towards Andika.

“Senja often writes about you in this diary,” Andika said while showing her pink diary in her hand.

Earth tried to take the diary but Andika kept it away. “You can read it also save it during Dusk in a coma. But first, I want you to eat today. Jefri said you haven't eaten yet, haven't even taken a shower. You've just been sitting here quietly since last night. Eat first, then I will give this to you,” Andika said trying to negotiate.

“No, Sir. I will not leave Dusk for a second. I have to keep Dusk to be fine,” reject Earth firmly.

“We are his parents, Earth. We will certainly keep him here as well while you eat and rest for a while. If you get sick, you won't even be able to look after your weapon. He's your weapon, isn't he? You're the Earth, right?” talk to Andika again.

The earth nodded. Andika and Liliana were relieved that Earth was finally willing to comply.

“Your assistant is outside. He has prepared everything. Eat, shower and then rest for a while. We replace keep, Dusk,” added Andika again.

“But I won't go from here. I want to keep one room with Dusk,” said Bumi.

“Ya already, all right. You can do everything here. There is also a bathroom here. Take a shower first and eat.”

Want not to want the Earth to obey the words of Andika. He kissed Dusk's hand first before entering the bathroom.

"Don't go anywhere, Dusk. I'm just going away for a while" said Bumi at Dusk, which made Andika and Liliana's heart wistful when she heard it.

After eating, he asked Andika for a Dusk diary. Andika allows on condition that she must lie on the sofa to be more comfortable while resting, not sitting still in the chair she was sitting in. The earth is certainly upset arranged like that. But he can't fight this time. For the sake of getting the diary belonging to Dusk, he was willing to do what was asked.

He sat on the sofa leaning with his legs crossed over the sofa. He opened the diary and read it from the beginning.

Tests.

Not nothing, the tears have dripped when looking at the photo of Dusk on the front page. His hand stretched out to touch the face of Dusk in the photo. A smiling face is happy. There was a laugh that he missed there.

Wake up and smile like this again. You're so pretty when you smile like this. Your beauty overpowers a flower that blooms in spring. Earth in the Heart.

He began to read one by one the contents of the diary. He was quite surprised when Dusk told him about it.

My Guardian Angel.

I've met him many times, but I don't know who he is. But when I found out who he was, I was a little disappointed. He's a man who's been betrothed to my own cousin.

I don't know, I'm confused why I'm disappointed to know that fact?

Is it possible that I put a taste in the man who always protected me?

Bumi recalled the time when he helped Dusk that night. Dusk knocked on the window of his car and asked what his name was. But the Earth did not answer, instead he left Dusk with curiosity. Finally Dusk yelled and called it as “Angel Protector.”

The earth closed its eyes in a flash while sighing deeply. His chest felt back to fullness considering all that. But he didn't stop reading the diary. He opened another page again.

My guardian angel has now turned into love in my heart. Too much I call it that? Ah, I don't think so long as no one knows including himself.

Lord Bumi Langit Aerospace, only here do I dare to reveal that I love you. I don't know since when this love appeared, I didn't realize it myself. Clearly, just by remembering your face, I felt extremely happy.

Earth, let the distance between us remain this big. It's not my will, but it's my destiny. Maybe fate brought you and me together to teach me that everything I want is not necessarily what I can have, and that includes your love.

The earth again had to sigh deeply to relieve the tightness that was clumping on his chest. One fact he just knew, “It turns out Dusk has long loved me..."

"Senja, don't let the love between us go too far. We have suffered enough because of this distance. I believe destiny brings us together to unite us in love, not to separate us in infinite distance. I used to think the farthest distance in the world was between life and death. But I was wrong. The farthest distance is when I'm by your side, but you don't realize where I am," the Earth's shrillness is barely audible.
