THE NIGHT THAT MISSES THE SKY

Chapters 12. I Must Be Strong

There's nothing I can do but let go when you're gone and make me a meaningless person living in this world. I try to be sincere about a loss and smile from the pain that is happening.

Moving on doesn't mean I forget everything that happened between us. It means I accept what happened, sincerely, and move on with my life." - Nina Artianti, Restart.

Dusk finally came out of the sky room. The woman did not go back to her desk, but went to the bathroom. His chest felt very tight after talking a little with the Sky, his meeting back with the man made wounds six years ago as if back again, he could feel tremendous pain.

The hijab-wearing woman stopped her steps in the sink, she lowered her head deeply with her hands resting on the edge of the sink. His tears just came out considering the events in the room of Heaven earlier, he tried to be indifferent to the man, but in his heart there was so much he wanted to convey. Including about his son, but Dusk chose to silence at this time.

"Why? Why do we have to meet again?" the Twilight Monologue felt frustrated. Luckily there was no one in the bathroom, only Dusk.

The woman rubbed her tears, she could not spill everything there. If someone were to come in, he would be asked a lot of questions. Finally Dusk tried to control himself, stop his crying and try to calm down. He also tidied up his hijab order a little, making sure that there was no sign of him crying on his face.

"Huf! You must be strong at dusk. Don't be weak like this, show the heavens that you've forgotten it by now." The twilight cheered itself.

After that, he came out of the bathroom. There's still a lot of work to be done. Dusk must not let his work be neglected just because it runs out to meet the Sky.

On the other hand, Sky still could not believe that he had just met Dusk. However, the man was a little upset with Dusk, according to him at this first meeting the attitude of the woman to him was very cold. Though Heaven wants their relationship is not as awkward as before.

After Dusk came out of his room earlier, he simply could not focus on the work that the man had to do. Though he had to learn many things because he just held this company, but it feels like the current Sky wants to immediately go home and rest. Maybe with that he will forget his meeting with Dusk for a moment.

"Why is your attitude towards me so cold like that, Dusk?" murmured Sky while massaging the base of his nose to relieve his slightly dizzy head.

Then, the Sky leaned his head against the back of the chair. He took a deep breath, staring at the ceiling of his room. He recalled the day he was forced to decide to leave Dusk, until he finally ended up going abroad. At that time there was not much he could do, guilt also haunted his mind and heart while abroad. He wanted to tell Dusk, but could not because all his access to contact the woman had been cut off by his parents.

Moments like that, make the sky feel very frustrated. He felt like a jerk man who abandoned a woman just like that, even though Heaven knew that Dusk was willing to do anything for her. Dusk was always supportive in both joy and sorrow, but all he could give was sorrow, Heaven instead left him abroad.

"Please forgive me, Dusk. Were you that angry with me until you were so cold?" The sky went back to monologuing while imagining the face of Dusk which was very flat and very indifferent.

It's time for the hours of the office home, Sky deliberately passed where the workspace Dusk. But, he could not find the woman, but the other employees had not returned. It was impossible that if Dusk came home early, it was possible that the woman was busy doing other things.

Since it was impossible for Heaven to wait for Dusk to return to his work, the man decided to go home. There is no way that if he stood there for long, there could be many who would gossip about him, let alone this was his first day of work.

Arriving at the car, the sky instantly loosened its tie. The man leaned his back comfortably on the car seat, all day sitting in front of a computer screen making his back slightly stiff.

Arriving at home, the sky immediately entered with quick steps. The rose in the kitchen immediately followed her husband, the woman seemed very ready to welcome the arrival of Heaven.

"You've come home apparently. My cooking is not finished yet, so please wait a little while, yes" said Roses while trying to align themselves with the Sky that just kept going without caring about it.

"How was your first day? Everything smoothly? Looks like you look tired, must be a lot of yan-"

"Please leave me alone! Don't say much" snapped the Sky. He halted his steps, staring at the muffled Rose while raising his hands into the air as a warning sign.

The rose that got a snap was instantly silent, the woman took a step back from before the sky. He was surprised by the Sky's attitude, he was indeed often not considered by the man. But, the Sky had never snapped at him like this.

"I'm sorry. It seems like I was too excited" said the Rose in the end. The woman lowered her head in fear of getting a sharp glare from her husband.

Not caring about the Rose's apology, Sky preferred to step back to enter the room. Then he closed the door of the room quite roughly until the Rose was surprised.

"I'll finish my cooking first, after that we eat together huh." A rose screamed from behind the door. After that, he returned to the kitchen with shaky steps.

Rose was confused by the change in Sky's attitude that was getting strange to him, even though he had tried to behave well. Not wanting to think about it again, it is better for the Rose to continue his cooking in order to win the heart of Heaven back.

While in the room, the sky was crashing. The man took off his suit and threw it in any direction, he also opened the wide window of his room.

"Arkhh! Why is all this happening" cried the heavens in frustration. She also pulled her hair for a while.

The rose that heard the screams from inside the room instantly turned off its stove and ran inside, she was worried that something might happen with the Sky.

"What's wrong with you, Sky?" ask the Rose with a worried tone. With a slow step he approached the Sky that was still by the window.

Not getting any answer from Heaven, Rose tried to touch her husband's shoulder slowly.

"Why you?" ask the rose again.

"You don't know anything, just shut up. Don't mind me" replied the heavens with great care.

"But ...."

"That's it. Get the fuck out of here! I want to be alone right now."
