Not as Red as Dusk

Not as Red as Dusk
problem



A loud ear-splitting sound came from the front room of Esta's house. Someone banged on the door impatiently. Even Asih could no longer prevent him from entering. A middle-aged woman in fashionable clothes stared unfriendlylyly towards Asih.


Esta: what's wrong bi?


Asih: someone's looking for a lady


Sinta: is this your welcome to the parents?


Mother: mother?


The atmosphere is so awkward. Even Esta only glanced at Sinta. Her mommy. While Sinta continues to spread her views to the house.


Sinta: where's Kai?


Location: Kai?


Sinta: don't pretend. Last time she said she wanted to see you, she disappeared


Esta: Kai disappeared?


Esta's memory goes back to what happened that night. When Rico orders Tomi to finish the job. Was it?


Esta: Esta doesn't know mommy


Sinta: lie! and look at this house. Even you do not have the money to be able to buy a house like this. do you sell yourself?


Esta's eyes were wide. It was unexpected after so long of not meeting her Mami. The question slid easily from his lips.


Esta: Esta is not that low as mami


Sinta: cih. do not be a holy pretent.from where you can get money to survive.can even go to college


Esta: Esta works


Sinta: work selling yourself


Esta: enough mommy! if you're just here to say this, you better go


Sinta: the brash child


Esta: please come out

How did Mom find my whereabouts? Dad didn't even call me about this. Is dad okay?


Esta's gaze glared into the sky. His mind was on the father. It is inconceivable how difficult the father was. You have to face your mom's attitude every day.


Esta: Esta misses dad


Nick: who misses me?


Nick's voice surprised Esta. He almost jumped from where he was sitting.


What is this guy doing here?


Nick: I miss you


Esta pretended to vomit.


Nick: don't you care about my feelings? don't act like that anymore


Esta looked at Nick guiltily. Is correct. Nick has been nice to her all this time. Yep. Although a little exaggerated and more brash.


Esta: I won't do it again


Nick ruffled Esta's hair..


Nick: good boy


Prepare food at the dinner table. Nick was sitting there. Can't wait for Esta to join us.


Special auntie cook today?


Asih: mr. Nick took her, miss


Esta: oh


Nick: just oh?


Esta: then?


Nick: thank you


Esta: thank you


Nick smiled and started enjoying the food.


Esta sat in front of the television. Play the remote without intending to watch the shows that are in it.


Nick: who's that woman?


Esta: eh?


Nick: who met you?


Mother: mother?


Nick: mommy? she your mom? isn't


Esta: mommy kept me up


Nick nodded. So she's the woman who gave birth to this asshole Kai.


Esta: oh yeah, mom's looking for Kai


Nick: Kai?


Esta: did you do something to her?


Nick: why do you think that?


Nick, I told you to forget that night


Esta: but


Nick: forget it


Yep. That night should no longer be remembered. But Nick's heroic attitude when saving him. Is that not worth remembering?


Esta: you want to go home?


Nick turned his body. Blinked one eye at Esta.


Este: do your eyes hurt?


Nick: don't you want me to go home? do I have to stay over?


Esta: aish.


Nick, if you need anything, just call me


Esta: alright, don't I have no other choice?

In a hotel room in B.


Sinta grabbed her phone. Make a call to someone.


Sinta: Kai. I've seen it. He's really lucky so easy to get a rich guy


What is mami's plan?


Sinta: take her home. marry her to you


Will that save the company?


Sinta: at least. Pradipta could still run again as mayor of the upcoming period


Kai: then the company?


Sinta: we think about it later after you and Esta get married. is that it?


Kai: yes

Aaaah.Eventually the class is over as well.


Esta spread out her hands. His bones and joints felt stiff all day.


Lala: want to go home?


Esta: how about we eat first. I'm hungry


Lala: may


The atmosphere of the canteen is quite crowded. Many seniors who also enjoy eating together or just chatting spend free time.


Lala and Esta picked a little bench in the corner. Then order food.


Lala: you know. Al


Location: Al? wh why?


Lala: lately fans are raging loud noisily


Esta: about?


They are looking for you, so be careful


You're just kidding, right?


Order coming. The two stopped the chatter, switching to a bowl of baso that had already made the stomach of the two of them concert non-stop.


Suddenly though. There is no wind, no rain. A group of women approached Esta. Without further ado, it immediately hit the table.


BRAAAKKKK!!!


Woman 1: are you Esta?


Esta: yes? is there anything?


Woman 2: do you know Al?


Esta: Al literary boy


Woman 1: stop approaching her. Don't look at her


I don't understand, I don't look for face


Woman 2: you are stubborn


Woman 1 toast a glass of drink in front of Esta. Later then...


BYUUR!


Esta stand. His face looks angry. But try to hold it as hard as possible.


Esta: what are you doing


Woman 1: this is a warning. Don't be pretentious anymore in front of Al


I heard wrong? are you threatening me?! what courage do you have to dare to do this, huh?!
