Earth Without Dusk
20. Riding the Earth Bringing Dusk Home

After seeing the sunset, Earth and Dusk plan to return to their respective homes. Unlike the usual day, this time Earth drives her own car without her assistant.

“Senja,” call Earth before Dusk gets into his car. They park the car next to each other.

“What's up?” ask Dusk.

“Be careful driving his car. Straight home,” said Bumi advised at Dusk.

“Iya, Young Master,” said Dusk while chuckling.

They also got into their cars. Earth hasn't started the engine of her car yet. He deliberately waited for Dusk first. Twilight started the car, but the engine suddenly died on its own. Dusk tried to restart the engine of his car. The result remains the same. The car doesn't want to go either.

Earth realizes the Dusk car seems to be breaking down. He also came out to the car Dusk. Dusk lowered the windshield of his car when Earth came to him.

“Why your car?” ask Earth.

“Entahlah. Can't turn on the machine,” replied Dusk.

“Your gas is not exhausted right?” ask the Earth again.

“Hey, of course not! Make it ashamed if my car runs out of gasoline,” grumbled at Dusk.

“Yes who knows,” says Bumi.

Then Earth tried to open the front hood of the Twilight car. He checked the engine part of the car. Dusk just leaned on the Earth car while watching the man work.

He's really handsome. If you are repairing a car like this, the good looks increase three times. Praise the Sun in your heart.

“The machine is broken, no tools fix it. Must be taken to the workshop,” Bumi said while closing the hood again.

“Then how do I get home?” ask Dusk with a sad face.

“I'll take you. Your car will let Jef take care of it. Come on over to my car!” bring Earth.

With a heavy heart forced to leave his favorite car there. They also returned home with Earth cars.

Along the way to the house of Dusk, they were more silent. The usual twilight talk a lot is now more silent. He was covering up his awkwardness when one car with Earth, especially now they are just alone. To be honest, from earlier his heart beat faster while sitting next to the Earth. Every now and then he would steal a look at the Earth that focused on driving his car.

“By the way why didn't you ask my address? Do you know where I live?” tanya Dusk broke the silence between them.

“Tau,” reply Earth briefly.

“Where to try?” tanya Dusk again tested the Earth.

“Look at it later we will get to where,” replied Earth.

“Jawab where was it! Later you have the wrong address again,” urged Dusk.

“No way, I've been there with my father,” Bumi said.

“When are you there? Why don't I know?”  

“That time you were studying abroad, so you didn't know.”

“Ohhhh...” say Dusk while mangosteen.

Not long after the car arrived at the house. The plan Bumi wanted to deliver Dusk to his front house, but Dusk refused. He asked Earth to take him to the front of the gate, no need to go inside.

“Why don't you want me to come in?” ask the strange Earth with a Twilight attitude.

If you see it could be dangerous. There will certainly be many questions that you ask, why I can be escorted home with the prospective Kak Nesya. There's no way I'm answering because we've seen the sun go down together. Inner Dusk.

“It's okay. I'm going inside by myself. You just drove me here. Thanks, for driving me. I owe you one. Next time I buy you a meal, deh,” said Dusk with sumringah.

“Alright, it's up to you.”

“I go down first. Be careful on the road, go straight home, yes,” said Dusk imitating the words Earth.

He got out of the car and went into the gate of his house. After making sure Dusk entered his house, then the Earth left the place.

From behind there was a red car that noticed the car Earth since the car arrived in front of the house Dusk. The driver of the car inside can clearly see Dusk coming down from the Earth car. The driver of the car was Nesya.

Nesya was going to the house of Dusk to meet Liliana. He plans to deliver his handbags and shoes for his boutique collection, which has been ordered by Liliana, the mother of the Twilight.

Nesya continued her intention to come to the house of Dusk to meet Liliana. If possible, he wants to find out all why Dusk can be driven home by Earth just now.

"Hi, Aunt. Here I bring an order, Auntie," said Nesya as she gave a paper bag containing Liliana's bags and shoes.

"Geez, you bothered to drive him. And you can have your workers drive him, honey." Liliana also took a paper bag given by Nesya.

"It's okay, Auntie. All visit to Aunt. Oh yeah, how lonely? Is Om Andika and Dusk still in the office?" ask Nesya to pretend. He knew that Dusk had returned to his home.

"Om Andika is still in the office. There's still work to do he said, honey. If Dusk had just come home. Didn't you meet him in front?"

"No, Aunt. When I got in here, I didn't see a twilight car in front. That's why I think Dusk hasn't come home from the office."

"Well, there's no car? Then what's the kid riding on? Hmm..maybe the car has been put security into the car garage."

"Maybe, Auntie."

Obviously the car does not exist. He came home on Earth. Nesya in the heart.

***

Meanwhile, Dusk in his room had just finished bathing. After getting dressed he threw himself on the bed to stretch his tired muscles.

A moment later his memory of Earth reappeared in his mind. He still did not expect that they had twice spent time together to watch the sunset. Who would have thought, the man who met her accidentally had now become even closer to her.

"We used to be hostile to each other and do not want to meet again at another time, now we even take the time to meet to see the sunset. How funny is this fate."

Dusk rolled to the side in an oblong position. Both hands he put on his chin to support his face. No matter what his position was, still all he remembered was the Aerospace Sky Earth.

"My Guardian Angel? Ah, that's ridiculous! How could I have called him my Guardian Angel?"

The twilight chuckled itself considering the silliness of that time. When Earth saves her from Riko, she spontaneously calls Earth her Guardian Angel.

Somehow the fate of Riko after the incident that night, Dusk did not know. What is clear since the incident, Riko never bothers Dusk again. It seems like the Earth threat managed to scare Riko away.

Tok to tok.

The door of the twilight room was knocked from the outside. The twilight rose and opened the door of his room.

"Sorry, Miss. Madam asked Miss Dusk to come downstairs. It just so happened that there was Miss Nesya as well" said one of the housekeepers who worked at her home.

"Sir Nesya is downstairs? Since when?" tanya Dusk began to worry.

"It seems that not long after Miss came home, Miss Nesya arrived, too" the housekeeper replied.

"Oh, okay, Bi. Tell Mama I'll be right down."

"Good, Miss. Excuse me."

The room closed again. He rested his back on the door. Suddenly he felt worried. Did Nesyq see him get off Earth's car? Then why did Nesya these nights come to her house? He had no prior appointment with his cousin.

Finally, Dusk decided to go down. He found his mother and Nesya chatting in the living room.

"Hi, Brother. When's coming?" greetings at Nesya. He approached Nesya and hugged her for a moment. Then he sat down next to his mother.

"Bust until. Said Aunt Lili, before I came here you just got home" answered Nesya.

Deg.

Dusk was surprised by Nesya's reply. Does that mean Nesya did see him get off the Earth car?

"really? Well, I'm sorry I didn't realize Nesya was behind me earlier," said Dusk trying to calm down. He doesn't want to be seen covering something up.

"Yes. But Nesya said, he did not see your car in front. As you remember this morning you left for the office in your own car, right? Did security keep your car in the garage?" ask Liliana later.

Dusk fell silent for a moment. He was thinking about what was the right reason to answer his mother's question. He does not want to answer wrong. Wrong answer can be the length of his business.

Right now both Nesya and Liliana were looking towards the Twilight. They were waiting for what kind of answer would come out of the mouth of the Twilight.

Seriate...
