Dusk And Suffering

15. Meet

Once the sun had greeted, Dusk departed as usual. Something was different with his feelings this time. Today was the last time he met Grandma. She decided to leave home to defend her love and grant Grandma a request.

"Mom, I'm leaving, yeah. Grandma must take care of herself and her health. Wait for me to come here. I will definitely be here again if things improve. I love Grandma," said Dusk with a trembling mouth holding back tears. He kissed the hand of the old woman who had been taking care of him with all her heart for twenty years.

"Yes, Son. Grandma will take care of your health. Grandma will definitely wait for you to come here." Miss Patmi kissed the old twilight forehead. "Udah go there! Your mother's still sleeping."

Dusk nodded then left the room. He looked at his mother's bedroom door. Somehow his hand was moved to open the door of his mother's room. It looks like Manda is still sound under the thick blanket. The tears just fell.

"I'm sorry Mom. I have to go, sorry I became an ungodly child. I hope that one day I will get forgiveness from you," said Dusk then closed the door of the room and stepped foot heavily.

It is so hard to leave home with these memories of a million wounds. Even though Dusk grew full of wounds there was still a hint of affection that his Grandmother gave him.

"Senja, you don't have anything else to bring? If it is still brought by you. Enter the car," Aldi said when he saw Dusk who was leaving for his restaurant.

"Nothing, Pakde. That's enough. I'm leaving right away, yeah."

"Senja, you also have to find another job. Pakde's sure the guy will look for you at the restaurant if he can't see you at home."

"Yes, I'll find another job. Pakde is calm. I'm leaving."

***

Leo left earlier than usual. He plans to meet Dusk at the restaurant. I can't wait to get married to that little girl.

"Darling, I'm leaving first, yeah. I want to meet an important client," Leo told a lie. He does not want to make his wife hurt or think no-no if he tells the truth.

"This shack? It's still eight."

"Our meeting is somewhere a little away from the office. This is it I'm a few minutes late. Take care of yourself at home and don't get out without a driver." Leo briefly peeked his wife's forehead and cheeks and then moved from there.

In the courtyard of the house, Leo's personal driver was waiting and swiftly opened the car door for his employer. Working with Loe is not easy. The workers must be alert and must not make mistakes. Once that happens, they must strengthen their hearts and mentality to get tantrums from their employers. The man always demands perfection in anything related to money.

After twenty-five minutes of sitting in his luxury car, Leo finally arrived at the restaurant where Dusk worked. It still seems lonely because it is too early to come just for breakfast to a restaurant as luxurious as this.

Leo was welcomed by one of the male employees. Although a little surprised so early there is a customer, he still tried to neutralize his nervousness and welcome Leo well.

"Good morning, sir. Welcome to the.."

"Call Dusk," cut Leo with his cold face.

"Okay, sir," the young man replied and left.

The young man walked to the back despite the many questions hanging on his head. But what power, he couldn't possibly ask the man. Maybe it was his brother Dusk, thought the young man would not bother.

"She, someone's looking for you up ahead. Dress suit, neat, handsome. Whoareyou? This whole time here to look for you."

The young man's words made Daren turn his head for a moment. He was willing to leave his work for a moment and walk up to the two men.

"Yes, I think if you look at the appearance of a rich businessman," replied the young man.

Suddenly he broke out in cold sweat. He had already guessed who was looking for him this early. He remembered the words of Aldi who asked him to find another job.

"Senja, why are you so scared and nervous like this? What's up?" Daren asked by holding her lover's shoulder and facing the girl towards him.

"No, Brother. I'm not okay. I met him first, yeah."

"Who's looking for you this early?"

"You haven't seen me yet, I don't know who either, brother. I'll go there first, yeah."

Daren felt a weirdness. I don't know where it came from and what caused it. Daren was also confused. Instead of guessing who is looking for his lover, he followed the steps of Dusk and peeked at him from afar.

"Good morning, sorry what's the need to find me?" ask Dusk a little scared. He showed it from his fingers that continued to twist the bottom of his shirt.

Leo lowered his sunglasses. Showing her sweetest smile and asking Dusk to sit in the opposite seat.

"Sorry, Sir. I'm working so.."

"Sit down, no one will dare to rebuke you even though he is the owner of this restaurant. Just relax, sit down!" pinta Leo again.

Hearing Leo's words makes Dusk think that this person is an influential person in the business world. It could be that this man is the business king of all businesses, the inner twilight guessed.

Dusk hesitantly sat on the chair pointed at by Leo. His hands still remained the same, still moving about twisting his clothes. He looked at the restaurant page so wide. He did not dare to look into the eyes of Leo who radiated sharpness like a knife that had just been sharpened.

"You must be confused by all this. Did your mother tell you about my arrival at your house yesterday?" tanya Leo straightened her body and placed both of her hands on the table.

"Yet. What purpose did you come to my house for?"

Leo smiled warmly, but it looked very scary for Dusk.

"Not if we don't know first, Leo. Owner of the group light." Leo thrusts his hand to shake hands with Dusk.

"I think you already know my name. No need for pleasantries, sir. Just get to your destination." Dusk ventured.

"I want to make you my wife."

Hearing Leo's words made Daren advance his steps in an inch. However, he did not continue because of the response of Dusk.

"If I don't want to?" ask Dusk with a brave face but with a roar of heart that is not good. His hands were still twisting the ends of his clothes. If Leo had known what Dusk really felt, he might have been overwhelmed.

"No one can resist my will."

"But I can."
