Earth Without Dusk
52. Plan of Engagement of Earth and Nesya

The day changed quickly. Then it was time for the two big families to meet each other again to talk about the matchmaking of their daughter's son.

The Adrian family residence again looks crowded with the arrival of the Dirgantara family and also the Andika family. But it looks like something hasn't been seen there. Yes, Dusk is not at the meeting this time.

“Today is exactly one month from the time you asked to get to know each other, so how is Earth? Nesya? Are you willing to continue your matchmaking?” asked Mr. Dirgantara while staring alternately towards Earth and Nesya.

The earth seems silent. While Nesya was already impatient to hear the answer coming out from the mouth of the Earth. Of course he had very much hoped that Earth would agree to their matchmaking. Nesya is waiting for Earth's answer. Not just Nesya, but other families as well. They were very curious as to why the man had not given any answer.

“Nesya ready, Om. Nesya is willing to continue this matchmaking,” Nesya replied first when she felt the Earth had given her an answer for too long.

All eyes were on Nesya, then turned to Earth. The answer from Earth is what determines the fate of their match. What was seen was still silent. I don't know what he was thinking at that time, everyone was clearly getting curious about him.

The earth sees the others watching. He knew he had to answer right then and there. He looked around again, but he did not find Dusk there. His gaze stopped on Dimas, his sister. Then he recalled the time when Dimas embraced Dusk. Earth confused. He was confused at his feelings at this moment.

“How is Earth?” repeat Mr. Aergantara again.

The earth breathed heavily, then finally he replied, “I am also willing to continue this matchmaking. But let us get engaged first, because my work is still very much. I hope you guys understand.”

Only then did a smile expand on Nesya's face that looked very anxious. Finally the man he had been craving for would fall into his arms as well. Others were happy to hear the answer from Earth. Two great families will unite in a new bond.

“Alright, if that's your decision. We are all very happy to hear it. So when are you guys going to have your engagement?” ask Mr. Aergantara again.

“How about next week?” nesya.

“Why next week? Isn't that too fast?” ask Earth.

“Sunday ahead of my birthday. So if I may, I'd like to celebrate our engagement and my birthday. You also agreed to our match, right? I think there is no harm in us getting engaged sooner,” replied Nesya who is impatient to become Lady Earth.

“As far as you are,” sahut Bumi resigned.

Dimas saw Nesya who was so excited to explain the concept of engagement like what he wanted, while Earth seemed so uninspired even just agree what Nesya wanted.

Dimas eventually withdrew from his assembled family. He chose to go to the home page, then send a message at Dusk. He was very curious why Dusk did not come that day.

“Senja, where are you? Why don't you come tonight?”

The twilight sitting alone on the beach read a message from Dimas. He smiled bitterly. How could he come to an event that discussed the engagement of his loved ones? No. gabe. He's not that strong yet to pretend to be indifferent there.

“How's the show? Runs smoothly?” Instead of answering Dimas's question, Dusk asked something else.

“They agreed to hold the engagement. The party will be held next week, just as Nesya's birthday,” Dimas replied.

The twilight that read the reply from Dimas shed his tears just like that. His heart felt more throbbing. His love even had to run aground before docking. It seemed like he had to completely wipe the Earth out of his heart.

“Where are you now? You're okay, right?” reply Dyed again when not getting any reply from Dusk.

“I'm fine. Don't worry,” reply Dusk later.

“You where?” ask Dimas again.

This time Dusk no longer replied to Dimas' message. He held his phone firmly and cried alone in the night. The strong sound of the waves on the beach disguise the sound of his sobs that are heartbroken because his love will be engaged to his own cousin.

This place used to be a place where he found happiness as he and Earth spent time together enjoying the sunset. But tonight, the place witnesses her cry of grief for having to give up the Earth owned by someone else.

“It turns out..be this is heartbroken,” whispered Dusk to himself.
