Dusk And Suffering

38. Sacrifice

The twilight Eyes warmed up again when they saw the footage shown by Leo. Sad to mix anger into one, Dusk can not sort and separate the opposite feelings.

In front of his own eyes, Dusk saw his mother who was stabbed with a kitchen knife lying in the kitchen of his house. Seeing his mother who grimaces in pain and blood just like that, makes Dusk feel like he has to sacrifice as a place for the growth of Leo fetus.

"Will you do anything after this? Try it if you dare. That means you're ready to lose the person closest to you."

The twilight did not budge, the sharp gaze he moved onto Leo's face. He hated the man, the loser who used others for his personal pleasure. He forgets that life in this world has the law of the sow. What you sow is what you will reap. Good bad deeds will still have karma later. It's all about time.

"Loser." Dusk still dared to make fun. Although with a soft voice and tone, but his words were filled with contempt.

"As much as you want to tell me what I am. What I want I have to get. Now it's your job to tell your family that you're okay, you don't have to look for you, you tell me you're going home if it's time to go home." Leo gave me a cell phone.

The twilight still silently looked ahead.

"HURRY UP!" snapped an impatient Leo again with Dusk's behavior. "Don't make me angry and your mother will accept the consequences" he added.

Dusk has no other choice, Leo really makes it not warty. He did not want to because he maintained his ego, he sacrificed the safety of his mother. Finally with a heavy heart, Dusk again contacted Aldi and said according to what Leo asked.

"Pakde, it's me Dusk. I just wanted to say that I'm okay here. I'll be home if it's time to go home. Promise me not to look for me first. I'll definitely be home. I'm fine here, I can take care of myself. Greetings to Mom and Grandma. Take care of them before I go home."

With lightning fast Leo's hand grabbed the phone in the hand of Dusk and disconnected the phone.

"Good, if only you'd done this a long time ago. Your mother's gonna be fine and enjoying my money." Leo took out the card attached to the phone and broke it in half.

"Prepare yourself for tonight. We have to go to the hospital for our cell collection. The sooner the better, so you have to go along and do what the doctor tells you to." Without hearing the answer from Dusk, Leo departed from before Dusk.

Rida who had since been silent stepped foot towards where Dusk stood. With his hands crossed in front of his chest and a haughty face he said, "You must be self-conscious Twilight, you can be here too because of your mother, you we pay, so does your mother. You're the one who makes your life hard if you..."

"You better shut up! You're a selfless, shameless, heartless woman. I don't need your trashy words."

Rida's hand was raised to give a punch. However, losing quickly with a Dusk hand that also blocked it and then threw the hand roughly.

Rida jerks. He was surprised by the harsh treatment of the girl who was even twenty years old. His jaw was hardened, never had he been treated like this before. Living and surrounded by people who submit to him makes Rida not accept with the treatment that twilight gives.

"How dare you treat me harshly!" Rida doesn't take it.

"You started it. Do you think I'd shut up if your dirty hands touched me? Never expect that. I Dusk Kumala will never let you, savage humans treat me as well as your life. You need me, right? Never act up! Looks like I should remind you from now on. Your son will be born from my womb. I'm the one who struggles to conceive and give birth later, so you should appreciate me too. Do you think you're in charge here? You're just a wife, but I'm the one who makes your husband's life happy, making him called Dad later. If you die, you'll be forgotten. But me? Will always be remembered because I'm the only woman who gave her offspring.

"So your mouth is twilight! You've crossed the line." Rida pointed at the twilight face with her index finger.

" You're also the attitude that you want me to keep my mouth shut. Don't just want to be appreciated without respecting other humans."

"You've taken my future and my life. Because of you and your husband, I lost everything. For that you have to pay more than money." Dusk smiled obliquely, looking very cunning.

"Whatchu mean? Ask what else are you from us, so poor are you?" ejek Rida's.

"You want to know what I'm asking of you? See, as time goes on, you'll know you're playing with the wrong guy." Dusk took off the hand checks and blew his palm as if his hands were dusty. Then he left in front of Rida who was still confused by what Dusk would do.

"Who are you from, Mom?"

"Monday. He said that he was fine and that there was no need to look for him he would go home without being searched. He said it must have been under Leo's pressure. It's not wrong what happened to Manda was Leo. It must have been this morning Dusk was caught contacting me that's why he used Manda to threaten dusk to obey what he said. Damn man!" Umpat Aldi is arrested.

"Then we follow what Dusk says. What a..."

Did not have time to say the protest sentence the door of the ER opened.

"How's my sister doing, Doc?"

"Thank God, the wounds received are not too deep. Will heal in one week to ten days."

"Alhamdulillah then. What needs to be treated, Doc?"

"No, I'll be home later."

Aldi and Laura walked into the ER room as soon as the male doctor left. Manda was conscious with a hand impaled by an intravenous needle.

"How are you doing?" Someone asked.

"I'm okay, brother."

"You know who did this?"

"No, I was bending over to pick something up in the fridge but suddenly someone stabbed me with a knife. Fortunately I stood up quickly so the puncture wasn't too deep."

"Who was the man who met you this morning?" Laura who had been silent since then finally made a sound.

"He's looking for people willing to go into debt at the bank."

They all fell silent. Dazed Manda looked at her brother-in-law and brother who were thinking about something.
