8. Secret Twilight

When he saw the reflection of his face in the mirror, Dusk was shocked not kepalang.

His face turned sinister, eyebrows sticking out, the skin of his face reddened and wrinkled, fangs that appeared in the corner of his mouth, as well as a growling sound that came out of his mouth.

Dusk also felt his entire body was immeasurably hot, his extreme thirst was also agonizing. Dusk was very tormented by his circumstances.

Still on the verge of his consciousness, Dusk felt his body float, not, but only his head that floated off of his body.

Dusk screamed in fear, but not the sound of human screams coming out of his lips, but rather the creepy growling sound that sounded.

Panic twilight watched his body and head separate. The disembodied head kept circling around inside the room. As if looking for a way out. The Dusk Awareness thinned and eventually disappeared completely. The head of the Dusk, now a meyang, then came out of the room, and continued to float towards the exit of the house through the door that opened or 'left' open.

The disembodied head with blood-dripping internal organs floated and darted away leaving Bayan's house.

Beside Bayan's house, in a hidden place, there appeared a man covering his face staring into the sky at the head without the body vanished.

He smiled with tears in his eyes.

The man stood there, waiting for the head without a body to return to the house. After a long wait, the day began to approach dawn. The Adhan of Subuh echoed in the region.

Suddenly the head without a body quickly darted into the house through the door that was still open.

The man immediately closed the door and left the house.

In the room, Dusk was back to normal. His head and body were back together. Dusk looked exhausted and fell asleep on the bed. In his mouth was a trace of fresh blood that then dried up. The smiling face was satisfied in his sleep.

" Mr Dusk.., Ma'am Dusk.., wake up Ma'am.

Dusk opened his eyes, he still seemed to not believe what he had experienced last night. But the sound of knocking on the door disturbed him so much. The sun rose to open the door. But as he passed through the mirror, Dusk saw the reflection of his face that looked messy, and there were blood stains around his mouth. Even dusk opened the door.

" Yeah...., I've woken up Bi, why...!?" tanya Dusk half-screamed while cleaning up the stain on her face.

" Today Mas Bayan telephon, message that Mbak Dusk wake up on the phone back..," said the waiter.

" Yes Bi, thank you, yes" said Dusk as he headed to the bathroom to clean himself up.

After finishing the bath, Dusk cleaned up his messy room. Clearing away the mess he made last night as he turned into an unwitting 'myang.

Dusk was sitting in the flower garden, which was located a bit away from the main house while enjoying a warm afternoon. In front of him was a small table with warm tea and snacks. Occasionally Dusk read the magazine on his lap.

That afternoon Bayan was on his way home from Bali. And Dusk promised to wait for his arrival.

Dusk remembered two days ago Bayan was furious because HP Dusk could not be contacted. He then sent a message to the housekeeper so that Dusk immediately contacted him.

Apparently Dusk's HP was lowbatt, and Dusk didn't know that. So when Bayan called and there was no connection, he slammed his phone angrily.

" Assalamualaikum Mas..," said Dusk at the beginning.

" Wa alaikumsalam, How are you, where are you going, who are you...?!" ask Bayan without pause.

" I'm at home anyway Mas, not anywhere." replied Dusk casually, she knew her husband was jealous.

" Why can not be telephon?, deliberately matiin HP yes let me do not know where you are ?" tanya Bayan fierce.

" My HP is lowbatt baby.., I don't know, from ssmalem I sleep so don't check HP. I'm sorry dear.." said Dusk trying to seduce her husband.

Hearing the words Dusk plus the word 'honey' makes Bayan lethargic. His voice also softened.

" I miss you, uh what I'm afraid of can't even be telephoned..," Bayan said as a child.

" I'm sorry..," said Dusk softly.

" I want to see you now, we video call yaa..," pinta Bayan.

" Yes." replied Dusk again.

Dusk smiled considering the silliness of Bayan at that time.

" Oh, excuse me." said Karto, a former Bayan driver.

" Yes..., what's the matter, sir...? tanya Dusk friendly.

" May I speak to Mrs Dusk in person ?" ask Karto while looking down.

" Please, what do you want to say...?" ask Dusk again.

" I'm sorry if I was rude. Leave Mas Bayan now !!" karto said firmly.

" What...?!" Dusk stood from his seat.

" I know who you really are. Mas Bayan is a good man, you don't deserve to be with him...!" karto said as he stared intently at Dusk.

" So, you're not wrong to say.?., I am the legitimate wife of Mas Bayan, We love each other. Who are you to tell Me to Leave My Husband...?!" tanya Dusk was angry.

" I'm just a former Mas Bayan driver. I have been in this house since Mas Bayan was a child. As soon as her parents moved, I chose to stay with her because I loved her like my own child." Karto said sadly.

" You are aware of your self-status that is only a driver, so don't cross your line !!" sergeant Dusk is angry.

Karto and Dusk stared at each other. Strange, they both felt there was a tremor in their hearts.

" You could've hurt him.." said Karto sharply.

" I love him, I can't hurt him.." - Says the cynical Twilight.

" I opened the door so you could get out that night. I also turned off the lights of all the rooms and waited for you to return to the room without anyone knowing." said Karto slowly.

But Karto's slow voice still makes Dusk like a lightning struck hear him.

And Dusk fell in his chair.

" You...?!"

Dusk covered his face with both hands for a moment. Swiping his face then turned towards Karto who was staring intently at him.

" I know who you really are since the first time Mas Bayan brought you here..," said Karto, "If you really love Mas Bayan, leave him, you can kill him accidentally when unconscious..., Go awayl. I'll keep everything a secret" Karto said as he passed.

" I can't!, I'll stay with him no matter what. You have no right to set me up !" yells Dusk fiercely.

" I am entitled.., because I am your Father !" karto said as he approached Dusk looking shocked to hear Karto's confession.

" You're lying.., my father is dead..," said Ssnja with a voice and trembling body.

" It's Me, your Father, Genta.," Karto said, showing a birthmark on his right upper arm.

Dusk shocked and crying. His outstretched hand touched the birthmark on Karto's right arm.

Dusk remember, when he was a child he often played doctor. Karto/Genta is the patient. He would wrap his father's birthmark with a cloth that was considered a bandage as if the birthmark was a wound to be treated. He memorized the shape and texture of the skin on the birthmark.

Dusk cried loudly when he managed to touch Karto's birthmark.

" Sir.., Mr...., where have you been all this time...?" rintih Dusk's.

" I'm sorry Mr. Nak." said Karto, hugging his son Dusk, the son he left twenty years ago.

The two of them cried while hugging each other.

In the main house, several servants who knew Karto were watching the scene of Dusk and Karto hugging each other.

They're talking about Karto.

" We all know that Karto is a senior servant, but don't use all hugs. You don't know yourself...,"

" Yes make Mas Bayan misunderstand me...,"

" But the Dusk is also crying again, why yes...,"

" At one time there was a sad talk. Kan Pak Karto knows all about Mas Bayan...,"

Said the servants who put each other down when they saw Dusk and Karto.
