The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

Bickering

Bu Rani growled in annoyance as her screams were not ignored at all by her son. Dawn continued to step after Dusk who had arrived at the doorstep.

"Basar barren woman! What science did he use until Dawn could be infatuated with him." grumbled Bu Rani while stomping her feet.

"It's Ma, don't keep it that way. How many times have I told you, do not demean Dusk, after all he is his wife Dawn. Dawn has the right to make his life choice, we have to approve it, do not be selfish" said Mr. Hery while holding his wife's shoulders.

"Keep defending Dusk!" bu Rani's.

"I'm not defending him Ma. I just want you to understand how Dawn feels. He must be disappointed by your attitude Ma!" said Mr. Hery.

Ms. Rani did not answer, she just looked at her husband with a puff.

"If it's only about grandchildren, Farah is already pregnant, you should not force Dusk to have children immediately. They are both adults, they know what is good for their future." continued Hery.

"But I prefer Adara Mas, he is more worthy of the Dawn. She is beautiful, her career is good, and her family is also distinguished, not like Dusk." said Bu Rani.

"Don't judge a person by his social status, but by his personality. The proof is that Dawn decides Adara, and he prefers Dusk, meaning Dusk is better than Adara" said Mr. Hery.

"Ah stop! Tired of talking to you. I'm going to sleep!" said Bu Rani in a high tone, while stepping her feet leaving her husband and child.

Mr. Hery just shook his head, facing the attitude of his wife who never liked Dusk. If Mr. Hery himself, honestly he prefers Dusk than Adara. Dusk was an ordinary woman, it was certain that she would take good care of her household. As for Adara, she is a career woman. He would not have possibly left his career for the sake of the household. Only the servant will take care of the child, and her husband. And Mr. Hery, he didn't want that to happen to his son.

"Dion forgive your mother's attitude yes, maybe you feel uncomfortable, but please do not take heart" said Mr. Hery while staring at Dion.

"It's okay Pa." replied Dion with a smile.

"Let's eat now, baby if left out, Aunt has been hard-earned to prepare her food." said Farah while looking at Father, and her husband.

"Come on!" dion, and Hery at the same time.

In the midst of the city crowd. The lights glimmered beautifully, illuminating the skyscrapers that lined the side of the highway. Two-wheeled vehicles, and four-wheeled vehicles, seemed to be passing by crowded the streets. Dusk stared at the city from behind the glass of the car, which was taking him home. Not a word came out of her mouth, her heart still upset to remember her mother-in-law's words.

Every now and then Fajar glanced at his sitting wife while turning his face away. His hands were folded on his chest, clearly visible if his mood was bad.

"Darling!" call Dawn.

But there was no response at all from Dusk. Do not answer, just look at it not.

Dawn let out a long sigh, she knew all this was indeed her mother's fault. And he preferred to be quiet, letting Dusk calm his heart.

Dusk opened the door of his apartment with a loud jolt, then he waltzed in, and left the door open just like that. Dawn ruffled her hair violently, all this because of her. If he hadn't been stupid, his marriage wouldn't have gone this bad.

Dawn continued to step, following the wife who had entered her room. He saw clearly, Dusk threw his sling bag just like that. The look on his face was very upset, and full of emotion.

"Darling!" call Fajar as he steps closer to his wife who is standing by the bed.

"Satisfied you, brother! Satisfied to see my pride being trampled by your Mother!" snapping at Dusk while staring at Dawn with a sharp shot.

"I'm sorry, please don't listen to her talk. The important thing is that I always love you, I always take care of you, and always try to make you happy" said Fajar while holding both hands.

"When are you trying to make me happy? By never touching me that's what you say effort. The happiness of a wife, if she succeeds in becoming a mother, is not to be a virgin forever!" the word twilight is still in a high tone.

"Honey please understand, I still want to live alone with you, I do not want children" said Fajar slowly.

"Enough! Don't repeat that sentence again!" snapping at Dusk while clasping Fajar's hand violently.

"I don't need your unreasonable excuses. Not wanting a child, does not mean you can not do it, brother. It's all manageable, and I know you understand that, too. Just tell me if you're not interested in my body, or there's actually another woman out there. Say Sis, say it!" scream Dusk with teary eyes.

"Don't baby, what you're saying isn't right. All I love is you, I'm very interested in you. There is no other woman, only you dear." said Fajar while holding the second Dusk.

"lik! From your attitude like this, even fools will know that you have a mistress. Why are you doing all this to me, sister, why? Am I just your escape, if I am, fine! Divorce me, and return to your woman. I'm tired of living like this!"

"Dragon's talking twilight!" snapped Fajar while tightening his grip. His gaze looked sharp, and full of anger.

Dusk grimaced, enduring the pain in his shoulder. For the first time Dawn treated herself this harshly. Tears of Dusk began to trickle down, drenching both of her smooth cheeks. But for this time, Dawn did not budge at all. Even though Dusk was crying, his heart did not melt. Emotions have already erupted, when hearing the word divorce coming out of the mouth of the twilight.

"Never say divorce a second time. I love you, and I give you a life worth living. Whatever you want, I'm always trying to give it to you, except for the kid. At any moment, I will never divorce you. Remember my words of Dusk!" the word Dawn was right in front of the face of Dusk. His voice sounded slow, yet firm, and terrifying.

The twilight grew weeping, and tonight he saw another side of Dawn. After a few seconds, Dawn released its grip, leaving a red mark on the shoulder of Dusk. Then without saying anything, he passed away leaving Dusk alone.

Dusk held both of his shoulders which still felt pain. And her cries grew even more broken, as the sound of the door slamming deafened her ears. He was sitting limp on the floor, he lowered his head to let his tears run down his lap.

"Sister Alvin, I should have listened to you. I shouldn't have accepted Kak Fajar's proposal." said Dusk in his heart.

Dusk bemoaned his fate. As for Dawn, no matter where she went, until an hour had passed she had not yet returned to the room. He let the twilight still sit on the floor crying. A silent night, no other sound was heard, other than the sound of the twilight sobbing that was quite heartbreaking.

Seriate.....
