Earth Without Dusk
60. News in the Media

Earth arrived at her mother's grave with a series of flowers in hand. He placed the flower on the mother's grave and squatted beside it.

“Mother..I miss you,” said Bumi softly.

The earth seemed to sigh heavily. It felt like there was currently a huge rock on top of his head that made him heavy in deciding things. Her engagement was in sight, but the doubts in her heart grew even greater to continue this engagement.

“Mother...are you looking at me right now? Only mom understands my feelings the most.”

“Mother..please help me to convince my heart that this path I choose is the best. If if I choose wrong, please do’ me so that it is still given the opportunity to return to Senjaku.”

The earth bowed and kissed the mother's headstone. His heart was a little relieved. At least, he had already expressed his heart to his mother. Even though she knew her mother wasn't there. But his spirit remains.

The earth left her mother's grave and headed to the cemetery parking lot. There Jefri was waiting for him in the car.

But one unexpected thing happened. Suddenly there were a group of reporters approaching Earth as he descended from the cemetery. The reporters were busy looking for news about the engagement of the richest young businessman in the country.

“Young Master, is there really news that Tuan will be engaged to the daughter of the Wijaya family?”

“Lord Earth, is this engagement due to matchmaking to enlarge the Aerospace family business and the Wijaya family?”

“Master, listen to you, the daughter of the Wijaya family who will be engaged later is Miss Nesya, is that right? Why did you not choose Miss Twilight who is both a businessman like Mr?”

That is the question that the reporters posed to Earth. But it is not Earth if it is easy to make a sound and answer all the questions that come from the journalist's mouth. He did not intend to answer all the questions that were addressed to him.

Seeing his young master surrounded by reporters, Jefri quickly helped Earth get through the reporters easily and opened the car door so that Earth would enter immediately.

“Master, please answer our question.”

“We need an explanation, Mr.”

“Quiet everyone! Young Master Dirgantara does not want to give any statement at this time. Please wait for the official statement from the Dirgantara family later,” Jefri explained to reporters.

After that, Jefri got into the car and left the cemetery. The reporters looked disappointed at not getting the news they wanted.

“What news of this engagement has been expanded in the media?” ask the Earth on the way.

“It looks like so, Sir. Just now I got information from the company security, there are some journalists who are also waiting in front of the company to get news about this engagement,” Jefri replied that made Earth sigh heavily.

“I want to see the news today,” said Bumi with the intention that Jefri open a digital TV attached to his car.

“Good, Mr.”

Jefri also began to open the TV and look for news about the news of his boss' engagement. But who would have thought the first broadcast that came out was the coverage of several journalists waiting in front of a minimarket to get news from one of the Wijaya family, namely Dusk.

“Senja? It was Dusk right?” tanya Bumi who was surprised to see Dusk that appeared was shopping at a minimarket. It looks like the reporter who broadcast it live took a picture from outside the glass wall of the minimarket.

“Iya, Sir. It's Miss Dusk,” Jefri replied confirming.

“Why are they chasing Dusk? Dusk must be uncomfortable if chased by journalists,” said Bumi with annoyance. He seemed so worried about Dusk at this moment.

“Perhaps because Miss Dusk is also from the Wijaya family, Mr.”

“Then follow Dusk now. Do you know which minimarket is next door?”

“It looks like I know, Mr.”

“We're going there now. I don't want Dusk until why there.”

“Good, Mr.”

Jefri also increased the speed of the car. He tried to get to where Dusk is now.

***

Dusk who was shopping at the minimarket did not know menau at all if he had been awaited by some journalists outside. He was forced to stop at a minimarket before arriving at his office to buy something urgent for him at that time. Especially if it's not a sanitary napkin.

While on the way in the car earlier, Dusk felt something strange. He recalled that it turned out to be true today his schedule came the month. He was forced to pull over to buy a sanitary pad and find the nearest toilet.

Dusk did not expect, so out of the door minimarket, already many journalists who stormed it with various questions about the engagement of Bumi and Nesya.

“Nona, is it true that your brother will be engaged to Young Master Aerospace?”

“When is the exact date they will get engaged, Miss?”

“Nona, why aren't you the only one who was betrothed to Tuan Muda Dirgantara? Do you currently have a boyfriend?”

In the midst of his confusion, suddenly came someone who broke through the crowd of reporters to save Dusk from there. Yes, that person is the Aerospace Celestial Earth.

The earth immediately approached Dusk and grabbed his hand. Jefri quickly asked reporters to turn off their cameras. He also asked that no one broadcast the news until there was an official statement from the Aerospace family. Hearing that, the reporters could only submit to obey the will of the Aerospace family rather than having to have problems with the family of the wealthy businessman.

The earth kept pulling out Dusk's hand and asked him to get inside his car. Even twilight is just silent following the orders of the Earth. The important thing is that he was able to avoid the crowd of reporters. After they entered, the Bumi car moved to leave the minimarket.

“My car is still there,” said Dusk while looking back.

“Just give me your car keys. Later let my people take it,” said Bumi while looking towards Dusk.

Dusk turned to look at the Earth that was looking at it. The two eyes meet again. Something was stirring in the hearts of the two. There is a longing that they both share in the heart.

“You...out of shirt?” tanya Dusk broke the silence between them. It's not usually Dusk to see the Earth dressed like that.

“I am from my mother's grave,” replied Earth.

Even dusk nodded. Surely Bumi asked her mother for her blessing to get engaged, thought Dusk.

Even the twilight fell and fell silent. Ah, if you remember the engagement of Bumi and Nesya, always managed to make his heart feel sad and bitter.

“You didn't ask me why I knew you were there?” ask the Earth.

“No. You have always liked to come suddenly,” replied Dusk lightly. The earth just smiled hearing the response of Dusk.

“What did you buy there?” ask Earth again while glancing at the Dusk bag that looks bulging because it is filled by something.

“Reclassic. It's a woman's affair.”

“You're okay, right?” The earth is beginning to worry.

“You asked a lot. You're always quiet. Why not just shut up now?”

“You why Dusk? What did you buy?”

“I said it's a woman's business.”

“Tell me!” The tone of the Earth this time was like a superior commanding subordinates only so as to make Dusk feel careless. Though the Earth was very worried that Dusk was hiding something important from her.

“I bought a sanitary pad. Already been? Satisfied?”

“Board? You hurt?” ask the Earth again which makes Dusk pat his bidat. While Jefri in front tried hard to hold his laughter so as not to explode hearing the two people's conversation.

“You're this..” murmur Dusk with growl.

“Every once in a while hang out with other creatures besides Jefri. I bought a sanitary pad because it's coming month!” dusk answered, half screaming.

“Come months?” repeat the Earth while frowning.

“Yes God..you tried googling yourself there!” said Dusk in annoyance as he turned his gaze to the car window beside him.

Bumi immediately opened his phone and found out what Dusk meant. His eyes seemed to widen for a moment reading the explanation from the internet. He understood why Dusk was so quiet to him when asked about it.

“I'm sorry,” said Bumi while shuffling Dusk's hair.

Dusk turned his head towards the Earth and then flicked his lips. “Everything don't like to force!”

“Iya. I'm sorry,” said Bumi again.

“Alright, forget it.”

“Senja,” call Earth.

“What?”

“Later in the afternoon we see your twin again, yes?”

Dusk knows the meaning of the Earth is sunset. At first Dusk wanted to refuse, but because today the Earth has helped him, he was not able to refuse the Earth's request. He also missed watching the sunset together.

“Alright, we meet there,” replied Dusk which made Earth develop a smile on her face. A smile rarely seen graced the face of the Earth.

Let me be selfish at this time before Bumi is officially engaged to Sister Nesya. Lirih Dusk in heart.
