The Broken Wing of Love

The past of Susi

Two months passed. Everything is going as it should. Since knowing that Deandra was dead, Arta also began to call Dusk as 'mother' and no longer 'ante'. Obviously Twilight is happy. That way, Dusk thinks that Arta is comfortable living with him.

It has different relationship with the earth. The man avoids eye contact every day and talks a lot with Dusk. It disturbs the mind of twilight. He would rather have the Earth speaking softly and spicy than being a quiet figure and with his flat gaze.

But the atmosphere of the afternoon felt different when Naura, the younger sister of Deandra came. The earth greeted him with a smile, a very rare thing in fact.

"Hi Arta," said Naura as she pinched gently on the Nephew's cheek, but was soon pushed over by the three-year-old.

"Don't touch Alta" Arta refused with pursed lips upset.

As soon as it was clear Dusk saw Naura rolling her eyeballs off guard, making her forehead wrinkle in surprise. 'What exactly was the purpose of him coming here? Want to see his nephew, right? Then why should you behave like that?' the Inner Dusk is not inexhaustible.

"Mas. Maybe Arta wasn't used to it when I was. I'm sure, Arta will soon melt like before" Naura told Bumi confidently praising herself. In fact, he was the only one who did not want to try to get close to the Nephew.

Dusk knew that Naura had never cared about Arta. It was conveyed by Deandra himself every time he told me about his father's family.

"The art? Salim used to be the same grandfather," asked Dusk so Arta would greet Mr. Theo, Deandra's biological father.

As a grandfather, Dusk wondered why Mr. Theo hardly ever visited Arta. And all that was answered when Deandra told me that the father was afraid of his wife who was none other than Dea's stepmother. And I don't know what purpose he came with his favorite daughter to Deandra and Bumi's mansion.

Arta according though with lips that are still pursed. Then, the boy immediately ran over and entered his room by closing the door until a locked voice sounded from inside. "I'm sorry Arta yes, Om," said Dusk feeling guilty.

Mr. Theo smiled with teary eyes. "It's okay. Reasonable. Maybe Arta felt alien when there was me and Naura." He seemed to understand Arta's attitude.

"Come, Om. Sit down first" pinta Dusk invited the two to sit on the sofa. Earth also smiled thinly as well.

"Sorry, Earth. Actually, I meant to come here to ask you for help. That's also if you are willing," said Mr. Theo directly to the point after drinks and some snacks in the field.

"What do you ask for, Dad?" ask the Earth is not as cold as usual. Although Bumi already knows that the father of his ex-wife is less able to be fair, still Earth must respect him as a parent.

"If allowed, can Naura hitch a ride in your house for a few months? The campus is close to here. The rental period he lived in was almost out of time. One month later, he began writing the thesis. Dad's money isn't enough." Mr. Theo complained, with a clear look on his face.

If asked for an opinion, Dusk will swiftly refuse. Because, he began to remember the words of Naura when she married. She said Naura was more worthy of being a surrogate mother to Arta than Dusk. He can only resign to Earth's next decision.

"Sorry, Dad. For that I can't help. You should know that Deandra's not around right now. Although Dusk was Dea's best friend, his relationship status with Naura was clearly different. Maybe if Dea were still alive, I might, because today there would be no twilight. Sorry, Dad. I can't." The Earth's speech was enough to make Dusk's chest feel pain.

Clearly from that remark there is not the slightest recognition from Earth if Dusk is his wife. The Earth does not want to admit that. Should be, Dusk should not expect much because the edges will be disappointed. The earth never loved him.

"Yes already. Then help me to rent a hostel. Hows it? Father please. Isn't your treasure Deandra's too?" Mr. Theo seemed to have broken his shame just for the sake of being able to get money.

"No need to take Deandra. He was calm in nature. Alright. I'll pay the boarding money that Naura will rent. Just call later, "break up Earth in the end, without asking for approval Dusk.

"Excuse me, Om. I went inside for a while," said the twilight couldn't take it anymore. He walked to his room to calm down.

Arriving inside, he chose to sit on the sofa while looking outwards where the residential street looks beautiful. On the right and left side of the highway there are red shoots that have been trimmed neatly.

Dusk breathed again. Although as hard as trying to toughen up, it still feels sick. Without feeling, the water point began to struggle in the eye pelupuk until the dam was no longer able to accommodate the amount of water that was accommodated.

The tears fell like a heavy rain that drenched his cheeks. Causes a sobbing so stifling chest. "What the hell, what was I expecting? Didn't Earth ever say that I would suffer a life with her? And until this second, he had succeeded," his raved by holding the chest that felt crumpled dim.

He thought he could live by loving in his heart, alone. In fact, right now he needs a reply. At least, his existence was a little appreciated.

Geck. Geck. Geck.

The sound of knocking in front of his room, made Dusk stop crying. He was silent to hear who the figure standing in front was.

"Alley!" call a voice that makes the heart of Dusk like it will melt. Can Dusk think if the Earth intends to give an explanation? Alright. Dusk will give you a chance if it happens.

With reddened and puffy eyes, Dusk walked to open the door. He did not open the door completely and chose to reveal part of the body without displaying part of his face.

"Why you?" tanya Bumi makes Dusk like to cry again.

'Use it again!' ketus Dusk in the heart.

"It's okay" he replied.

"Oh." The answer made Dusk grow upset, although inwardly trying to hold back.

"You what?" ask Dusk ketus.

Unexpectedly, the Earth pushed the door open perfectly to make the body of Dusk almost toppled. Luckily, Earth immediately pulled the arm of Dusk until the woman could stand up again firmly.

"You crying?" ask Bumi while looking at Dusk's face.

Dusk quickly threw away his face. "Who said?"

"Yes. You cry. Wh why? You mad?" The earth seems worried.

"Why should I be angry? What, who am I? Just a surrogate wife, right?"
