Dusk And Suffering

29. Akmal Promise

"Honey, we're out of here now, just bring the important stuff. We're just temporarily leaving here until things get better." Leo spoke without looking at the interlocutor. He focused on contacting someone.

"What's wrong? Why should I go?"

"Akmal, it turns out he's the birth father of Dusk. They are separated from the Dusk in the womb. I'm afraid that he'll come here and take Dusk away. You know him, right? His men are the same as my men, they will not play games in any case. His men are also quite dangerous. We better find it safe." Leo covered going a little away from his wife as her phone rang.

"Yes, I take it all clean. Send me the results you're up tonight. And, yes I need a bodyguard to take care of Sena, I ask for two."

The phone closed after that. Leo stepped back on Rida.

"What do you want, Mom?"

"I want to destroy Akmal, he already dared to hit me earlier. Honey, don't ask too much, let's get out of here!" Leo dragged his wife out of the room.

Hold their hands apart as soon as they reach the Dusk room.

"Senja, we need to get out of here. Follow me and don't ask much questions if you want your mother to be safe."

"Why do you always take my mom with you? So I'll obey you? Never dream!"

"Don't cross your line! I can do whatever I want if you know. Don't forget I never play with my words."

Feeling impatient and having no time to argue, Leo dragged Dusk forcefully. The girl stays the same, always thrashing when Leo touches her.

"Shut up or I'll kill your father you never met. I'll tell you who your father is, but shut up and do what I want!"

The tired twilight thrashed finally silent and walked following Leo's wide steps. Not even a fingernail can believe what Leo said. He was sure that Leo was just bullying him to get him to obey.

In his heart, he still did not understand why he had to go with him, why did they have to leave here? Is the Pakdenya going to follow him here and bring the police? Then he had to buy some time to keep him here until Pakdenya came. That's how the head of twilight is.

"Walk slowly, my head is dizzy, I'm hungry yet to eat."

"Who told you not to eat?" ask Loe nonchalantly.

Dusk had wanted to reply to the man, but with a flash Leo hit the back of the head of the Twilight and finally the girl was unconscious.

"Mas, what are you doing? He could be fucked!" pekik Rida's stuck.

"She talks too much, I'm sick of it!" Leo carried Dusk into his carriage and continued his steps into the car.

"I'm going to save my daughter's future, Mom. I've heard a little bit about Dusk and Manda from Kak Aldi. I promise I'll make the future brighter. I will also try to make Manda a good woman like she used to be. It looks so hard to imagine, but this is all I can do. For the rest of my life, I'll work on those two things."

"I'll keep this a secret from them for a while. Until the right time it comes and I'll explain everything."

"That means you're hiding Dusk? Dusk and Manda look like a mistress. Forever will never come that exact time. You are the Father of the Twilight. He needs you, it needs to be admitted, if you want to guarantee his future you should take care of his education and his fate when he gets married. You know what I mean?"

"Know, Mom. I understand what I have to do. I will slowly finish one by one."

Feel enough with the chat and Miss Patmi. Akmal permits to withdraw from home. He wanted to leave the house immediately, the house that seemed to make his life was on the verge of throat.

"Sister, I'll go home first, yeah. I'm going to Leo's house. I'll return the money he gave Manda. Do you know how many?"

Aldi shook his head, "No, Manda never spoke the money."

"Well, I'm home first, yeah."

"Let's tell me you need help or there's news of anything about Dusk."

Akmal just nodded steadily as he ran towards his car.

***

Akmal just got home at seven in the night. He saw his wife joking at the dinner table. They must be waiting for him to come home for dinner together.

The regret that had run away since the trip home, suddenly returned to the chest. Seeing the innocent face of Karang and the face of Clara who recently changed her attitude made Akmal regret because he felt deceived them.

Akmal could not imagine that his past would be heard by the two humans who were joking at the dinner table. Surely his world will be destroyed as it is today. But Akmal just felt that his son had never complained about the affection and time of his parents. But the universe does not seem to let the Coral happy with a long duration of time.

"That's Papa's gone home, Mama's gone there first, yeah." Clara pushed the chair she was sitting on, causing a sound of friction between the floor and the wood.

"Mas, how come home tonight. Tumben really." Clara took the bag that was in Akmal's hand. "I'm getting warm water for a bath, yeah. It's not good to take a cold shower."

"No, I'll just finish eating. We eat first, I'm hungry. I just took a shower. Oh, yeah after this I have to go again. I have some business to do with my client. There must be something I can clear up, there's a misunderstanding between us."

"Can't tomorrow be?"

"Tomorrow he will go abroad. So I have to hurry."

Clara looked silent before finally nodding in understanding.

'Forgive me, Cla. Maybe from today I will create a lot of lies. I'm not ready to open the pages of my past to you. I'm sorry, I did this too because I care about you guys. I promise there will be a time when you and the Corals know this and I hope that none of you will leave me. Be it Dusk, Coral or you.'

The little family enjoyed a happy dinner together. Akmal tried his hardest to leave Dusk for a moment and focused on his son and wife.
