Dusk In Eye Pelupuk

Ex-friend

Tiara stared at the laptop screen, the video call spoiling her writing mood. He and Jena were once best friends, having the same hobby of writing to make the two women have the same dream, which is to become a writer.

There are many similarities between the two of them, both food and drink. Their dressing style was also the same, equally graceful and always neat. Also many things that they both like, including rain and dusk, the two women really like those two things.

Although many of the same things they have, still their writing style and way of writing have differences. Jena's duties often score slightly higher than Tiara's, at first Tiara did not dispute that, until the time they had similarities in the criteria of worship men, Tiara did not question it, the friendship of the two women begins to thin and crack because the man who loves Jena is also loved by Tiara.

Not wanting to get back to the second rank, Tiara began to act. And that action was the beginning of the split of their relationship, the God who was then the husband of Jena turned out to have a mother who was eager to fondle grandchildren. The marriage age of Jena and Dewa entered the second year, but Jena did not also give good news to the mother God. Knowing that Tiara began to approach the God family, Jena's best friend status he came and went to their residence on the grounds of visiting Jena.

Slowly but surely Tiara who initially visited Jena found an opening to approach her best friend's mother-in-law. Jelita, the daily life of Jena's in-laws is just loose, spending the money that the husband makes while he always asks Jena to work outside there. Upset because Jena is not a submissive daughter-in-law, Jelita often offends and even berates Jena. The name barren woman he often used when calling Jena at that time.

Tiara's bad intentions bear sweet fruit, her relationship and Jelita's getting better and better. It was not Jena that he visited when he went to the God's residence, but Jelita. Clever Tiara took the middle-aged woman's heart, a crazy idea burst into the mind.

" What??! your mother wants to take Tiara as a daughter-in-law? aren't you just a puppet mas?? don't tell me Tiara and I have to mix"

" Mommy loves you Jena, she doesn't want to keep demanding children from you. So she chose Tiara to be my second wife, who knows Tiara can give her many grandchildren until our family is peaceful and happy"

" So you mean my presence doesn't bring happiness to this family?? I'm struggling to conceive a mas, can you ask mom to be a little patient?" Jena pleads for understanding from the God family. At first it was God understood, but which cat would be able to survive when fresh meat always passed before him?

Conspiring with Tiara, Jelita entangles her own son to do despicable things. Behind Jena they have an affair until Tiara is declared pregnant.

At a suburban cafe, Jena anchors herself there. After meeting with Salman and expressing her complaints about Kirana, the woman wanted to forget for a moment the problems that were facing her life.

Staring at the number he had been blocking for a long time in the green bubble account, that night Jena reopened the number. The profile photo that Tiara used back then made her heart rustle, the man smiled with both eyes like a crescent moon. Hugged Tiara tightly as if the world belonged only to them. Appetite suddenly disappeared, tears forced down from both eyes.

" It's been almost 1 month, why it still hurts" his eyes glazed over, quickly he rubbed before the river saplings bathed both cheeks. How stupid Jena is right now, why look at the portrait of the two traitors, his heart became hurt again.

There, as Jena sat alone enjoying her drink someone came closer.

" Jenaira "

The woman turned around, finding fellow writers who had not met for a long time.

" Can I sit here?" tanyanya pointed to the chair in front of Jena.

" Hem "sahut Jena is short.

" This cafe has a delicious coffee variant, have you tried the latest flavors?"

" I don't like dabbling, Rio"

The man named Rio threw a smile at him" Oh, yesterday I tried this coffee. Pretty good, you wanna taste it?" the coffee glass that was in his hand is now offered to Jena.

The woman just looked at the glass that Rio thrust out expressionlessly.

" Let's relax I haven't drunk it" added the man who attracted the attention. The towering tall body, handsome face and attractive appearance was clearly Rio's presence being the center of attention.

" I told you, I don't like to dabble" Jena turned the coffee back to her master.

" Okay, I won't force. How are you?"

" I'm fine"

" really? I've been hearing bad news about you lately"

" Oh yeah, about me being accused of plagiarizing someone else's work? or about other news?" Jena frowned, there were two news that were following her lately. Jena who has been a widow and a writer who plagiarizes the work of others. Between the two news it could be that Rio knew everything.

" What are you going to do, I'm not sure about the charges".

" It's good that if you're not sure, at least your mind is different from Kirana's"

" Our editor sucks, doesn't he support you?"

" That's how "he sighed.

" I reported his actions to the chief, I still have to cooperate with the stupid girl" he said"

" You expect him to be fired?"

The tip of the woman's eyes glanced sharply at the interlocutor" I just hope Mr. Salman changes my editor, I still have a heart, Rio"

A smile on Rio's face again attracted the attention of the other women in the cafe, in contrast to Jena who didn't care about it" If you still have a heart can I ask her to have it?"

Instantly Jena and Rio looked at her, her gentle gaze was greeted blandly by Jena.

" Stop hoping in Rio's man, you'll be disappointed"

" My hope will not stop Jena, you are still the goal of my life" he said still looking gently at the woman he had long liked.

" Stop, you're making me sick" Jena intended to get away from it, but Rio's hand speed managed to hold back his departure

" I already know about your wedding "

" Cih, the news spread very quickly" he said pulling an arm from Rio's grasp.

" You still have me Jena "

" I don't want to have anyone, Rio"

" When will you reject me? we have the same profession, the same hobby, the same kind of drink" he pointed to coffee on the table.

" And now that you're single, you have no reason to reject me anymore, Jena"

" Having something in common is not a reason for us to be together, I once had a friend who had a lot in common with me, but slowly he took everything from me. Do you think I intend to re-enter a relationship based on an equation???"

" I'm not the same as that guy"

" I know, but still you and I won't be able to be us"

Rio again grabbed Jena's little fingers, squeezing her expectantly" I'm waiting for you, forever I'll be waiting for you"

That handsome guy doesn't give up" I'm gonna take you home, you're gonna go back to your parents' house, right?"

" It's none of your business, I can go home alone"

" Come on Jena" her voice sounded clear.

" Do you want me to avoid you?" a line of words that could dampen Rio's spirit. If that was the case he would not be able to get close to Jena anymore.

After paying for his drink Jena immediately left the cafe, Rio was very surprised to find out Jena was riding a motorcycle. Doesn't that woman have her own car??

In the dark night, Jena intends to return to her residence. Although alone, he did not feel afraid to pass through the streets at night. Splitting the street with a high-speed cell phone in his backpack pocket rang.

At the beach house, Gibran is restless waiting for Jena's return, the clock has shown at 10 o'clock passing but the woman has not yet appeared.

Repeatedly making calls to his brother's number, Gibran never got an answer. Anxiety is increasingly rampant in him, he decided to find Jena's whereabouts. The news of plagiarism alleged to Jena has spread everywhere, known as one of the famous authors of the company Will made the news sticking to the surface and had a bad impact.

The netizens with the power of his fingers began to speculate, some do not believe the accusation but not a few who began to make malicious comments to Jena.

" He's a horror novelist, not a romantic writer. Did he actually plagiarize the work??"

" The likelihood of the charge is 80%"

" I love all his works, I'm even waiting for the arrival of his novel on the orange app, do I have to cancel the order??"

" You don't eat hoaxes, the accuser is the one who copied the works of Dusk_jingga" that's how Jena's pen name they know.

" I've read the works of Dusk_orange and Girl_pen, their writing is very similar. I don't know who the original author of the work was"

" Obviously Girl_pen, she's a romance novel specialist"

" Dusk_jupa only wrote horror novels, very unlikely if he wrote romance novels"

Those comments made Gibran furious, surely the disappearance of Jena tonight has something to do with the news that is currently crowded.

As far as the city of Gibran, there was no Jena along the way, where the woman went. Feeling needy for help, Gibran contacts his two best friends to help find Jena. Gibran also recounted the news that might be the cause of Jena's disappearance to them. Without wasting time even though the night is getting late Angga and Agam immediately help find Jena.

Angga was driving at low speed, maybe he met Jena on the street.

Agam out and enter the coffee shop, remembering Jena who really likes coffee may be the woman was entertaining herself by enjoying her favorite drink. But Agam's efforts did not produce results, he also repeatedly contacted Jena number and the results were nil.

Tired of looking everywhere for Jena, the three young men decided to gather in front of the gate towards the beach. Angga got there first, followed by Agam afterwards.

" His phone didn't respond, is it dead?"

The words of Angga add to the restlessness of Gibran, especially in Agam.

" Is it possible that she went home to my mom?" gibran murmured.

" Yes! try asking both of your parents" Agam said. Concerns were clearly reflected on Agam's face, the man with white skin was heard repeatedly sighing rudely" You go where Jena" his his his hiss restrained the hair while squatting, frustration began to haunt him. Agam was afraid of something unexpected happening to Jena.

" Mama didn't find Jena's sister at home" Gibran's voice rang out.

" I'm going to tell Arkan bang" he continued calling the oldest brother's number.

The problem Jena was facing had reached Arkan's ears, without a second thought Arkan immediately slid into Will's company. Although his body feels tired after an online meeting, it is not an obstacle to find the whereabouts of the younger brother. There have been so many misunderstandings between them that occurred in the past, Arkan does not want to be labeled as a brother who is crazy for work and does not pay attention to his brother anymore.

Whether you can get a hunch from where, Arkan just remembered the publishing company Will when Jena was reported missing. Asked the guard, Arkan was finally able to breathe with relief.

" Jena's at Will's publishing company" he shared the news with his younger brother, Gibran.

" What's he doing there in the middle of the night like this??" gerutu Angga's.

" Now that he's been found, do you want to go home soon?"

Angga nodded in response to Agam's question.

" Thank you for helping to find Jena's sister, you are indeed the best friends" Gibran said.

" I'll catch him there, you better get home soon"

" I'll come with you" Agam got into his car and took a cell phone.

" Aren't you worried about auntie? maybe he's waiting for you to come home right now"

" I'll be home soon after making sure Jena's with you"

" It's up to you Gam, which obviously now I just want to get home quickly. I'm so tired and sleepy".

Angga left, leaving behind Gibran and Agam who were still talking.

" You didn't call aunt Arabella first?"

Agam showed me the phone he was holding from the other side" I'm gonna send him a message, why are you so fussy about Gibran"

" I just don't want my brother to be a problem for you, Arabella's blessing means so much to your relationship right"

" Of course" Agam no longer spoke after answering Gibran's words. As a friend of Gibran caught the signal is not good for the silence of Agam.

" Did auntie not like Jena's sister??"

A little surprised" Wow!! are you a shaman??"

" So my guess is correct??" both of Gibran's thick eyebrows are linked up.

" Hem "Agam nodded with a sad bent face.

Gibran fell silent, what bad luck continued to follow the brother. Until this moment Gibran hopes for Jena happy as if it is less likely to be achieved.

" Duhai universe, can you make her smile back?" lirih the younger brother.
