Earth Without Dusk
50. Feel Foreign
Brugh.
Because walking is too rushed, Mr. Aris employees at the company who had Dusk please accidentally hit his boss when Dusk just entered his office.
“Sorry, Miss. Im sorry. I was completely unintentional, Miss. Please forgive me,” said Mr. Aris with a pale face. He did not want to be considered presumptuous because he had dared to hit his superior.
“It's okay, Sir. I'm not okay either. Next time you walk carefully, so as not to bump into another again,” said Dusk kindly.
“Good, Miss. Again I am sorry. I am in a hurry, Miss,” said Mr. Aris who looks like he is in a hurry.
“Hurry why, sir? Isn't it still morning? Why do you bring all bags?” tanya Dusk who just realized saw Mr. Aris wearing a bag sash like he wanted to go home from work.
“My son friday, Miss. I have to go home now. I had the same permission from HRD. Then excuse me first, Miss.”
“Wait! Let me take you with me then.”
“No need, Miss. Thanks though. I don't want to trouble Miss.” Previously helped, now it feels very sad if Mr. Aris helped him again.
“No problem. Your son needs immediate help. Come with me!” the word dusk is half pushy.
Dusk does not accept rejection. The girl who had a high social spirit finally drove Mr. Aris home. Not only there, Dusk also took Pak Aris's children to the hospital to get doctor's treatment. It is true, the son of Mr. Aris suddenly collapsed and experienced shortness of breath.
Due to being too busy helping Mr. Aris, Dusk forgot that today he had a meeting with the Aerospace company.
Drrt drrttt.
Dusk's cell phone vibrated from his suit pocket. There was a call from his office.
“Ya, hello.”
“Sorry, Miss. Here there is the Young Master of Aerospace and his assistant who is waiting in the meeting room. What Miss..”.
“Gosh! I forgot to. Ask them to wait a minute. I'll be there now.”
“Good, Miss.”
Dusk who was in the hospital immediately say goodbye to Pak Aris and his wife. He also had to give several pieces of money a hundred thousand to Mr. Aris before leaving, while the hospital fee has been paid off from earlier. Mr. Aris felt increasingly hesitant because he owed a lot to his superiors. Perhaps among the many people that Mr. Aris has known in his life, only Dusk is a sincere hearted man who always helps selflessly.
Dusk immediately drove his car quickly to his company. He completely forgot that that day he had a meeting schedule with the Aerospace company.
Almost half an hour spent on the trip, finally Dusk arrived at his office. He hurriedly took the half-running elevator to get to the meeting room.
Braakkkk.
Dusk opened the door of the meeting room with a bit of roughness. His breath was still breathless as he entered the room. Bumi and Jefri suddenly looked towards Dusk. They wondered what had happened to the girl.
Earth did not answer, he stared at Dusk who was busy opening his percentage file today in a hurry. It was very interesting that the Earth asked Dusk to calm down and take a breath for a moment so that he was more relaxed. But he didn't do that. His determination to silence Dusk was greater than his concern for the current Dusk. He must try to restrain himself.
Dusk began its percentage that day. He shared the report he had made to Earth. They look like strangers now. Completely co-workers, and nothing more.
Today, Earth feels a little different. There was no warmth from him. But Dusk himself did not know why. He did nothing wrong to the earth. Would not Earth be angry with him because yesterday did not attend a meeting with him? It doesn't seem like that.
Similarly to Earth, he felt that Dusk today he saw was not the usual Dusk he encountered. Between them it was like there was a distance they had created together. It all feels foreign to both.
Bruukkk.
The earth throws the results of the Dusk report onto the table quite loudly. It was not just Dusk who was crimping in surprise. Jefri did the same.
What happened to Lord Earth? Jefri was astonished in his heart. He glanced at the cold-faced master.
“Progress that your company listed in the agreement is not the same as the progress that occurs in the field!” correct the Earth in a dislike tone.
Indeed there are obstacles faced by the twilight side, that is why the progress that runs on the field is not as expected. The Earth must be very disappointed. Entrepreneurs who are famous for being perfectionists do not like if the project does not go according to plan.
“Sorry, Mr. Aerospace. I know this must be very disappointing for your side, but we..”.
“I need a solution, not just sorry. Even sorry can't change something that has happened.”
Dusk fell silent digesting the words of Earth. Is the Earth actually discussing a project or something else?
“I don't want to hear sorry. Is Miss company no solution to deal with this problem? If now progress has been reduced by five percent from the promised, does that mean there will be a delay in completing this project?” ask Earth.
“Our side will try hard to complete this project according to the schedule we agreed at the beginning, Sir,” replied Dusk in earnest.
Earth stands. He stared coldly at the girl who was currently staring back at him in wonder. “Prove your words, Miss! We will continue the meeting if the project is stable again,” said Bumi firmly.
The earth immediately set foot to leave the room. Jefri immediately followed his master from behind. While at the door, Earth paused for a moment and said without turning her body.
“I don't like delays. My time is too precious to just wait. Especially waiting for something that turns out to be unexpected!”
Eh?
After saying that, Earth disappeared behind the door with her assistant.
Dusk kept staring at the door that swallowed the departure of the Earth. What is happening to Earth today? She lost the warmth she had always given her. Why does Dusk feel so foreign to the figure he just met? Ah, no! Actually not foreign. This was the figure of Earth he knew when they first met. Yes, Earth has returned to her former personality.
