Dusk And Suffering

25. Bright Point

Brak!

The twilight snapped from its place. He stared at the door that opened violently. He was so afraid to see Leo's angry expression, but as he had done, he tried to hide his fear by returning the gaze***** which Leo threw.

"Do you want to die by refusing the food I gave you?" tanya Leo walked quickly to the bed of Dusk and put back the tray that had been carried by his household assistant earlier.

"I'm not hungry and I don't want to eat. I want to get out of here!"

"Don't dream too far, I've bought you and your mother has enjoyed the money. Don't try to do anything or you'll regret it. Prepare yourself tonight, your womb is mine now" Leo said, leaving. "Eat! Your work starts tonight. Don't expect me to marry you, you've been playing games with me, you're just a place for my future son to grow." Leo opened the door and was about to get out.

"Squeals! No one expects you to marry. I am also unwilling to take in the seeds of a human like you!"

Leo closed the door and

Plaque! Plaque!

Unmitigated Leo instantly gave two hard slaps on both cheeks of Dusk. Her chubby cheeks have now squeezed Leo's rough hands.

It's not enough to get there. Leo's hand gripped the twilight mouth firmly. The girl tried to remove the grip, but the energy that was not comparable to Leo made what Dusk did look futile.

"Nobody has been that brave to me. Watch what you say, I never mess with what comes out of my mouth. I warn you once again, lest your words cause your mother to accept the consequences." Leo took off the rough grip and pushed it hard. Then he left there with a rage that had not yet subsided.

The slap given by Leo did not make Dusk feel pain at all. He often gets the same treatment from his mother. Dusk only thought about how to get out of Leo's shackles without sacrificing his mother.

In the lunch hour that is still ongoing, some Buana Indah employees have returned to the office. Spend the rest of the time with a light chat with fellow employees.

"His number isn't active, where is he going, anyway? Suddenly there was no news. Where I asked Mr. Aldi also the answer is very ambiguous, like something is hidden," said one of the friends of Twilight.

"Maybe he has some personal business to take care of, hopefully he'll be back at work tomorrow. We'll ask him."

Akmal who accidentally heard the chat of the two office girls was immediately stopped for lunch. He went back into Aldi's office and room.

"Sir Akmal, how can I help you, sir?" tanya Aldi could not hide her surprise.

"What is Mr Aldi hiding? Where is Dusk. He's not in today, there's no way you don't know!" akmal concluded without further ado.

"Then what if Dusk doesn't come in, sir? Isn't such a thing common for office girls? They can exchange holidays for friends, right?" Aldi tried to relax.

Akmal quietly examined Aldi's face, and soon the net angle captured a book showing the back cover. Of course, the book caught Akmal's attention.

"What book?" tanya Akmal pointed at the book that was lying on the table with her chin.

Without excuse, Akmal grabbed the book and looked at the front cover. His hands shook violently, his breathing began to disorganize and it made Aldi a little frightened.

"Sir, are you okay? Is everything okay?" Aldi walked closer.

"Whose book is this? I know this is not your book. Where did you get this book?"

"What happened to this book? This is a normal book." Aldi is still covering up.

"No, this book seems ordinary, just like any other book. But not with the content and the amount. This book is just one, only one person has this book." Akmal showed the book with trembling hands.

Hearing Akmal's words made Aldi begin to understand something.

"Do you own the original book?"

"Yes, I'm the owner of this book, but I su..."

Bugh!

Akmal who got a surprise attack fell on the floor. He was not angry, did not reply, he just kept quiet while trying to digest what really happened. Why is this book on its employees? Surely this person has some connection with Manda. That's what's on Akmal's mind.

"I have been looking for you for a long time. I didn't think the person I was looking for was in front of me for years." Aldi turned out to be unfriendly like a raging beast.

"Sir, I do not understand if you do not explain the matter first, please tell me, what is your relationship with the person who has this book?" Akmal got up from the floor.

"You still ask? Tell me where you been all this time? Why did you abandon the responsibility that you were supposed to be responsible for. Barbaric men!" Aldi grabbed the collar of Akmal's shirt and hurled it violently. Akmal almost fell to the floor.

Some employees who heard there was a commotion from Aldi's room made them scatter into Akmal's trust room. They broke up the fight of the two even though they were in a state of shock and big question marks inside the head.

"I'm fine. You can go back to your own room. There's something I need to finish with Mr. Aldi."

Akmal closed the door and locked it after the employees left.

"Can we talk quietly, sir? Mr. Aldi always taught me to stay calm in any situation."

"How am I supposed to calm down when I find the man I've been looking for for twenty years? You want to know who I am? I'm the sister of the woman you've ruined her life." Aldi was not as angry as before, but his words still sounded piercing the ears and recesses of Akmal's heart.

"Manda?" akmal lirih. "You're Manda's sister?" Akmal started to tear up.

"Yes. The woman you broke that night was my sister. Explain to me why you ran away from responsibility. Why did you rape my sister if you wanted to go abroad? Why would you do such a depraved thing if you put your heart on him? WHY DON'T YOU GO FIND HIM? WHY THE MINUTE YOU GET BACK HERE YOU FORGET WHAT YOU DID. YOU ARE INDEED DEPRAVED, AKMAL.it is so easy for you to do such a heinous thing, without feeling wrong and sinful that you marry another woman without caring about the woman you broke in the past."

Akmal's lips were suddenly locked. It is very difficult to put a sentence into an answer.
