The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

Prologues

Dawn and dusk. Sunrise and sunset. Even though the two things were created to complement each other and refine each other, they were always at different points.

The Light of Dusk, a beautiful and petite girl who has a friendly nature, firm, but also spoiled. He gave up his free time at the age of 25. He married his brother's best friend, Fajar Mahardika. The handsome and well-established man who was present at Dusk was injured.

Dusk is not a girl who lives with a lot of treasure. His parents have been dead since he was a child, and now only live alone with his older brother, Alvin Aldiansyah. 

Alvin is a hero in the life of Dusk. This man has been taking care of her and taking care of her. Alvin also financed his life, ranging from daily needs, school fees, to tuition. Dusk finished his studies at the age of 21. Then he worked in one of the large companies in the city of Surabaya. 

While Alvin, he developed his business that has been pioneered since the beginning, namely a nightclub that he founded in the city center. A job that was looked at by Rani Wilson, the mother of Fajar Mahardika. She preferred Adara Victoria, her longtime lover Dawn. According to him, Adara is more worthy to compete with Dawn, compared to Dusk.

The Fajar family is a distinguished family. Rani's mother wants a daughter-in-law who is on equal footing with her family. However, Fajar did not heed his mother's opinion, he still chose Dusk as a life partner. To avoid things that are not desirable, Fajar invites Dusk to stay in the apartment.

They stayed there alone, Dusk refusing when Dawn would hire a servant. Dusk wants to do it himself. She was trying to be a good wife for Dawn.

\*\*\*

Dusk sat pensively on his bedroom bed, staring at the clockwork that was ticking. It has been five days since Dawn went to Singapore, he said to take care of the business there. Dawn went two days since they got married.

"Why Kak Fajar has not returned, even now it is difficult to contact," said Dusk slowly. He hugged the roll next to him. Staying alone for a few days made her feel lonely.

"Am I going to visit Big Brother, yes," said Dusk as he drowned his face inside the bolster that was being hugged.

Then Dusk moved from his seat, then walked to the bathroom. He will visit his brother to relieve loneliness.

About half an hour later, Dusk came out of the bathroom. He changed his clothes with an ivory yellow knee-length dress. Her hair was pigtailed high, with white accessories. Dusk also smeared *make up* thinly on his face. Lastly, she smeared pink lipstick on her ripe lips.

Feeling quite the appearance, Dusk came out of the room. Not to forget he grabbed a brown sling bag containing a cellphone and wallet.

Dusk walked out of his room, then stepped into the living room doorway. But how surprised he was, when suddenly the figure of in-laws had already opened the door from the outside.

"Mama" said Dusk with a smile.

Ms. Rani did not answer, only smiling sideways as she looked at the appearance of Dusk from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head.

"Please come in, Ma!" said Dusk still with his smile.

"Where's the dawn?" asked Bu Rani in a slightly taut tone.

"Where are you going?" asked Bu Rani while looking at Dusk sharply.

"I\_\_\_" Not yet had time to continue the sentence, suddenly Bu Rani has returned to talk.

"Is this how you left your husband? The distance is unclear!" said Bu Rani while squinting her eyes.

Dusk closed for a moment, it was always like this. Never the slightest bit of her in-laws were friendly to her. Back when he had not been in a relationship with Dawn, Bu Rani was even ordinary. But since Fajar introduced her as a couple, Bu Rani's attitude turned cynical.

"I just want to visit Brother Alvin, Ma," said Dusk a moment later.

"Alvin's? You want to go to the club?" asked Bu Rani sarcastically.

"No, Ma, it's still noon, Alvin's brother is still at home. Since marriage I have never visited her" replied Dusk quietly. Although he actually felt annoyed, but still tried to respect his mother-in-law.

"Have the husband's permission?" ask Bu Rani.

Dusk speechless. She has not asked her husband for permission because since yesterday Fajar number could not be contacted. I don't know how busy he is, to the point of forgetting the wife he just married.

"Why silence? You haven't asked for permission from Fajar?" Bu Rani again asked in a slightly high tone.

"Kat Fajar's number since yesterday is off, maybe he's busy." Dusk took a long breath.

"Oh, too many reasons. If you want to go, I will go too!" said Bu Rani while turning her body and about to get out of the apartment.

But arriving at the doorway, Bu Rani stopped her steps and turned to look at Dusk.

"Alley! Dawn is my first son, you must quickly give him offspring. I've given you permission to be my son's wife, so I hope you don't disappoint me. I want a grandchild soon!" said Bu Rani firmly. Then leave without waiting for the answer that came out of the mouth of Dusk.

Dusk looked at Bu Rani's departure with a pushy look. How could her mother-in-law have wanted a grandchild, while she and Fajar had never done anything. On the first day they got married, both of them were very tired of having to meet hundreds of invited guests. On the second day, Fajar left to take care of a bit of work in Singapore, and he has not returned to this day.

"If it wasn't for me loving Dawn so much, I would never have had this marriage. My mother never appreciated."

Dusk lowered his head while tightly grasping the rope of his bag with an agitated heart. Her face is beautiful, her brain is smart, but in terms of romance luck is not on her side. He was betrayed by a lover who had been dating for 5 years. Now, she is married to a man who loves her, but is disliked by her husband's family.

"Ah sucks!" shouted Dusk while repeatedly stomping his feet.

Seriate...
