Earth Without Dusk
35. Match Dusk with Dimas

That night Dimas finally joined dinner with the family. It just so happened that Dusk's father had also returned home, so they ate together at one table.

“Tante is very happy you want to come eat here. Play here often if you have free time,” said mother of the Twilight with friendly. While his son was caught off guard by his mother's treatment of Dimas which he thought was excessive.

“Thank you, Aunt. If there is free time, I will play around again here,” replied Dimas kindly.

Mr. Andika just smiled looking alternately at Dimas and his son. He knew that Dusk was not comfortable with Dimas being there. Not that he didn't like Dimas, but his mother was too obvious to match them both.

“How is Aunt's cooking? You like no?” ask Liliana again.

“One time like, Aunt. Very good,” replied Dimas who did feel the food he ate was very fitting on the tongue.

“Thank God you like it. Aunty is a hobby of cooking. Dusk can also cook like aunty you know. It's just that lately he's been busy with his job so rarely cook with Aunt.” Liliana begins to promote her already perfect daughter in Dimas's eyes.

“Oh yes, so you are good at cooking too?” asked Dimas at Dusk who was sitting next to him.

“Not so smart. It could only be. Can you cook?” Twilight asked.

“I can't cook. I never even cooked. But my mom cooks just as well as Aunt Lili. Besides mother, sister Earth can also cook. I did not expect a busy businessman like him to be proficient in the kitchen,” replied Dimas who attracted the attention of Dusk.

“He can cook?” It was like disbelief.

Dimas nodded. “He can cook. But only for himself. He said that when he was in school abroad, he would rather take care of his own needs, including cooking for himself. He is indeed an almost perfect figure,” replied Dimas again.

He is perfect. Dusk justifies in the heart.

“It doesn't matter you can't cook. Dusk can cook. Sometimes the concept of a soul mate is correct. Who can cook mate with those who can not cook, so they can complement each other,” between Liliana.

“Means Mama?” tanya Dusk confused.

“Earth can cook, Nesya's soul mate who goes to the kitchen is rare. Fits right? Later after marriage Bumi can teach Nesya how to cook in the kitchen. Dimas can not cook no problem, there is Dusk that can cook every day,” replied Liliana.

The look on his face changed immediately. The words Earth is Nesya's soul mate always feels stifling her chest. He seemed to want to oppose the words, but how could it be if that was the reality at this time.

The dinner was over. Now Mr. Andika and his wife are lying in the room chatting small things. It was one thing that the couple often did, chatting before going to bed at night. That way, good communication between them is maintained, so that their households are always harmonious.

“Darling, what do you think if we match Dusk with Dimas only? Good and polite child. She also comes from the Aerospace family,” Liliana said.

“Senja is young. Let him determine which man will be his companion,” Andika replied as she rubbed her wife's hair leaning against her chest.

“But darling, there's no harm in us getting them closer. Earth and Nesya alone from childhood have been betrothed,” said Liliana again.

“Honey, do not make others as a benchmark of our lives. Dusk and Nesya were two different personalities. Dusk will not like to be betrothed so.” Andika knows very well how the nature of her daughter. Dusk always chooses something according to the wishes of his heart not because of coercion from others.

“Ya..hopefully Twilight be paired with Dimas. I don't want to force Dusk, but our son if not directed, he will marry long.”

“Darling, Dusk is still very young. Never mind, let him make a career first.”

“Alright, Mr. Andika. You always defend your son.”

“It's not so, dear. The more we force it, Dusk will not like. Precisely what I'm worried about Dusk even do not like Dimas if you too often match him.”

Liliana thought for a moment. It seems her husband has a point too.

“Alright, I will not force anymore,” said Liliana agreed.

“Yes already, now we sleep. It's night.”

Liliana corrected her head and fell asleep in her husband's arm. While Andika had not fallen asleep, she still remembered the look on the face of Dusk at the dining table earlier.

Could there be something between Dusk and Earth that I don't know about? Why does it seem like Dusk is jealous that Earth is with Nesya?
