Today is the forty days since the departure of Dusk, the sharp-eyed man he left behind has almost no power to resist longing.
Almost every afternoon if not overtime the man always took the time to come to the beach. Well just to enjoy the breeze and kill the passionate longing.
The forty days of waiting were long. Especially if he had to wait for many years like Wulan before, maybe the man had gone crazy.
"Huuf..! His breath that sounded heavy enough illustrates how he was claustrophobic in the endless stoning of longing.
His gaze was glaring, breaking through the vast expanse of sea with the roll of waves that continued to roll towards him. Hoping among the waves was a surf girl waving at him.
But nil ! Until his eyes ache for staring at one point for a long time, the net did not also catch what he was in his way.
"Maybe it's not time for him to come back yet" murmured the man whose good looks made no sense.
"But until when? He said only one full moon or so, but why hasn't he come home yet."
Throwing away the saturation and also the longing, Dirga tried to melt it by walking slowly along the beach. He deliberately took off his shoes and rolled up his pants a little so that he could immediately feel the cold sea water slapping his feet.
Being by the sea even without doing anything will still give you peace. Especially if you try to walk like Dirga. It felt very comfortable even in an unsafe mood.
I don't know how many meters stepped, Dirga suddenly stopped his footwork. His neutrality accidentally caught two very familiar people in his eyes.
"Nayra, Arya? What are they doing here?" With a feeling of wonder, Dirga rushed over to the two.
"Hey you two," Dirga's words suddenly made the two turn their heads.
"Dirga, "
"Sir Dirga, "say both at the same time.
"What are you doing, why are you alone in here, don't tell me you didn't accidentally meet?"
Like a thief caught off guard, the two only grimaced in response to Dirga's interrogation. And that certainly makes the man even more astonished. Look at Arya and Nayra's gestures. I don't know why Dirga feels something is strange.
"Or don't-don't you guys have-" Dirga didn't continue her sentence of asking the concerned himself who concluded.
"Yes Dirga, we've been together, "As if you know what's on Dirga's mind, Arya immediately confirmed. He even embraced Nayra's shoulders as proof that the two had indeed become lovers. And at once Dirga did not reject at all. Smiling even assented.
"really? since when? "
"Just now, about a month or so" replied Arya
"Well, well, well, I seem to have missed the news. Why didn't you tell me? "
"I wanted to give you that idea. But it wasn't because of that night. And then you got sick. So yes I haven't told you until now. "
Dirga. Simply understand what Arya means or the reason for the man.
"What's wrong. I'm happy for you guys. "
"Hm, "Arya nodded while Nayra just smiled in response. It seemed like the girl was a little nervous because the one before her was her big boss.
"You yourself how, are you still waiting?"
"Well that's it. " That's Dirga's answer.
Arya already knows who Dusk is and also his father. Strange events that night really invited questions for him. And after Dirga's condition began to improve, the man killed his curiosity by urging his cousin to talk. Dirga himself had no other choice but to be straightforward. Because Arya was a little suspicious of it.
Maybe not just Arya. Rumors about Dusk which is not a human child are indeed being talked about. But Dirga decided not to bother about it. Because the thought of Dusk that never came alone is enough to take up space he thought.
"I can hardly believe you did that. I really salute you. " Arya conveyed her admiration to the figure who was willing to die for the sake of her lover but who was flattered just smiled faintly in response to her.
"That's what amazes me. He has not yet returned home. "
"Patience, maybe in a minute. " Looking at the gloomy Dirga, Arya tried to give her support.
"Yes hopefully ... Yes, continue your show. I want to walk again. " Dirgantara started to move while patting Arya on the shoulder. Arya just nodded. Disbelief still lingers in his heart to see his cousin who used to be a player of love is now turned into a devotee of love.
The same astonishment was also displayed by Nayra. The girl also apparently had heard the rumour about Dusk. And it was a wonder to see his big boss still remain loyal even though he knew who Dusk was.
***
The sun increasingly slid to the end of the ocean, but Dirgantara still reluctant to move from its place. The most historical place for it and Dusk is currently its missal release. The man sat there. I didn't realize the night was starting.
Arya and Nayra who had just seen the sunset and all dinner at the restaurant around were astonished because Dirga had not yet returned home. Both of them still saw Dirga's car in the parking area. That means the man is still around the beach. Though the atmosphere is very quiet and in the parking even leaving only the vehicle alone.
Feeling worried, Arya finally asked her directly to the man.
"You haven't come home yet? " ask through one of the green messaging apps.
"No, I still want to be here. " Arya's question immediately got an answer.
"But it's dark, Dirga. What are you all alone for? "
"Nothing, I just want to be alone. "
Arya sighed while nodding. Trying to understand maybe Dirga is really longing for Dusk and wants to melt his longing even without the presence of people who are in longing. It's a little weird, but that's it. Maybe it is so the habits of people if they are drunk miss.
"Alright, be careful, "Arya wrote at last for not wanting to disturb Dirga's calm.
Dirga himself immediately put his phone and back leaning his back on the wooden chair under the top of the tree. There was nothing he did, just sitting staring at the sea that began to be enveloped in darkness.
Luckily, soon a giant ball replacement for the solar began to appear at the end of the ocean.
Dirgantara smiled to see the orange globe. Apparently it's a full moon tonight. The darkness that had been created was turned dim by the moonlight that seemed perfectly round. It's beautiful
And believe me to be by the sea alone when the full moon gives a different sensation. There is a kind of comfort that we rarely get in other places. And that's how Dirga feels tonight. Although in the balut longs are dusty, but the current atmosphere is enough to make it comfortable and calm. Even so calm he made Dirga unconsciously fall asleep.
Like a homeless person, the Aerospace sleeps alone in the silence of the night.
The night crept up, but the man under the nyiur tree was still quite comfortable in his lena.
But unfortunately his comfort began to be disturbed when a gust of wind that was strong enough to hit his body. The cold that started to stab the bones kept the man awake.
Dirga blinked his eyes trying to find consciousness. And when he looked around Dirga realized that he was still on the beach.
Dirga looked at the timer on his phone and was surprised to realize it was eleven o'clock and forty minutes. That meant that he had been asleep alone for quite a long time in this place.
Dirga looked around. It was quiet as if there was no life. Only the sound of the waves and the howls of the night beast sounded very heartbreaking and creepy.
Dirga felt his neck that suddenly felt cold as the howls of the night beast continued to sound. There was a strange feeling that suddenly ambushed. And because he felt uncomfortable the man finally decided to move on.
He walked slowly through the sand on the beach. But again the uncomfortable feeling came back. Dirga felt that someone was watching him at this moment and the man also felt that someone was following his steps.
But when looking back, Dirga did not find anyone even an animal.
The man sped up his pace but the stalker who was not clear of his form also drove along. The sound of the night beast and the nape that was getting colder made Dirga's feeling even more strange.
Although he was used to interacting with creatures from other worlds, but still the current atmosphere made him feel a little spooky.
