Earth Without Dusk
86. Because I Missed You

“Pffttt...uhuk... uhuk....”.

Dyed to the point of choking on his own drink upon seeing the appearance of Earth today.

It felt like a whole new time Dimas saw the Earth look like that. Today the Earth is deliberately different from usual. He wears a full suit with a gray vest. No more black suits that are always attached to his body.

It wasn't just that that that surprised Dimas. The most striking thing is that the Earth uses sunglasses.

“Good morning,” greet the Earth while opening her sunglasses and then she put it on the dining table. Then he sat down in the chair he used to sit in.

Mr. Dirgantara, his wife and Dimas of course looked at each other. They don't understand what makes the Earth change that way.

“Good morning. Do you have an invitation today that is so important that you look like that?” ask Mr. Dirgantara blatantly.

“Yes. There was an invitation to launch a new product from our client this morning. I will attend,” replied Bumi while eating her breakfast.

“What should look like that, Brother?” tanya Dimas who had been very curious about the change in appearance of his brother.

“Why? You're afraid of being rivaled?” The earth asked back.

Not afraid of being outmatched, brother. It's just weird that you're suddenly dressed like that. I don't understand how Viona can admire you so much. Dimmas in the Heart.

“Stop swearing me in heart!” earth without looking at Dimas.

Do you know where he was I swore at him?

“Who cursed you,” replied Dimas quietly.

“Already, continue eating you guys,” said Mr. Dirgantara mediate.

After finishing breakfast, Bumi went with Jefri to attend an invitation from his client. Before starting the journey, Jefri first gave some files to Earth.

“What is this?” ask Earth. I don't think he asked Jefri to prepare a report this morning.  

“That's some photos I got from the CCTV apartment belonging to Miss Nesya, Sir. But it was just a photo in the elevator, parking and corridor to Miss Nesya's apartment. I couldn't get CCTV inside her apartment. But in the photos can be seen the faces of Miss Nesya and Marcel, sir. It turns out that the man had stayed there several times,” Jefri said while driving the car.

The earth looks at the pictures one by one. It was obvious that Marcel was holding Nesya's waist so close. Not only one, but there are several other photos that show their closeness. The earth snorted violently as it looked at the photos in its hands. Not because of jealousy, but felt furious because Nesya had been lying to herself and her family. Pretending to be a graceful and classy woman, but it turns out her deeds out there are as low as that.

Among the many photos there is one photo that is very interesting to the attention of the Earth, namely the photo of Dusk in front of the door of the apartment owned by Nesya.

“Jef, it's Dusk?” ask the Earth to be astonished.

“Oh that, yes, Sir. That's right Miss Dusk. Miss Dusk's arrival date was the same when Marcel was in the apartment with Miss Nesya. I think Miss Dusk knows about the hidden relationship between Marcel and Miss Nesya.”

“And he didn't tell me at all?” ask earth who sounds disappointed.

“We don't know for sure about that, sir. There must be something that makes Miss Dusk hide this all.” Jefri tries to calm his boss because he knows it is impossible for Dusk to hide this for no apparent reason.

Bumi recalls the time when Dusk told her that she was the last happiness of Nesya and her mother. Is this what Dusk means? She hid all this from him for not wanting to take away the happiness of Nesya and her mother?

Moreover, that day the Earth looked different than usual. Of course it caught the attention of all the invited guests who came.

There was also Dusk and his father. Dusk today is also no less beautiful with a long dress to the knee in dusty pink with high heels in matching color.

As Bumi and Jefri walked almost closer towards them, Andika quickly pulled her daughter's hand and asked for Dusk to hide behind her. But it turns out the assumption was wrong. The earth did not even glance towards them. He just walked past them and immediately greeted his client who had an event.

Both Andika and Dusk were quite surprised by Earth's attitude towards them. Seeing the Earth so indifferent to him, it was now even Dusk who felt tingled to steal a glance towards the man.

“Look, handsome son of Mr. Aergantara,” said one of the women present there.

“True. Unfortunately he already has a fiancee,” said one of his friends.

“If I am anyway, made a mistress by him also I am willing. Already handsome, rich, no lack,” said the other anyway.

Dusk just silently heard the women's chat about Earth. He also did not deny that the Earth does have a complete package for a perfect man. But baby, Earth wasn't made for Dusk.

***

In the afternoon Dusk went to the beach where they used to meet to watch the sunset together. It seems like he hasn't been there for a long time. He longs to spend time with the Earth to see the sunset.

He stood at the end of the bridge alone. No more Earth would hold her hand as the sun began to set. Only the sound of the waves pounding and the breeze blowing slowly accompanied him back then.

Hahhh, how much he misses that guy right now. Duhai Bumi, don't you also miss this Gymnastics of yours?

At the end of the eye, the sun was slowly descending and lost in the ocean. The orange red tinge that had reddened the sky, slowly fading and turning dark. The sign of the sun has returned to its contentions.

“Earth. I miss you so much right now. I haven't seen you in a few days and it's tormented me to bear the longing. But today the universe seems to be being kind to me. I was finally able to meet you even though you ignored my existence. But that's okay, that's more than enough. My longing has paid off enough just by looking at your face,” wail Dusk on itself. 

Dusk breathed his breath with relief. Today his misses are quite healed. As Dusk turned around about to leave the place, he was very surprised to hit someone in front of him.

Deg.

“You?” twilight murmur with perfectly rounded eyes.

“Yes, it's me. The person you missed,” answered the one who was hit by Dusk, which is none other than Earth.

When was he behind me? Why didn't I realize he was coming here? Did he hear my words? Dusk asked worriedly in his heart.

“You...why are you suddenly here?” tanya Dusk hesitated.

The earth moved its feet to get closer to Dusk. Dusk had retreated two steps but finally he stopped because behind there was no bridge that could be stepped on again. They were now facing such a close distance. Don't ask how fast his heart is beating right now. Even the air around him seemed to disappear to leave tightness in the chest.

“You want to know why I'm here? The answer is because I miss you, Senjaku.”
