The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

The Night Happenings

Flashbacks

The hour hand shows exactly at 10:00 p.m. Ken squinted his eyes, while staring at the screen of his phone. Then he moved from his seat, commenting on a wide smile.

"Ken, where are you going?" ask Alvin.

"Street for a while, brother," Ken replied as he continued to walk away.

Ken rushes to his car, quickly starts the engine, and drives him away from the hospital area. Ken continued to increase his speed, while occasionally glancing at his phone screen. Using an abal-abal account, he manages to track down Sella's whereabouts.

"You won't be able to run away from me, smile as much as you can, think if you're safe. But actually, this is the beginning of your destruction" Ken said, gripping the wheel of his car tightly.

From the information Ken got, Sella planned to go out of town. Maybe he meant to lose track, before Ken realized what he was doing. But Ken isn't a dumb guy, he uses an account Sella doesn't suspect. With that account, he managed to track Sella's whereabouts through his cell phone.

An hour and a half later, the distance between Ken's car and Sella's car was getting closer, just a few pounds. Ken continued to increase his speed, no matter if other vehicles were too late when he preceded him.

"I can't be late!" said Ken with sweat that began to pour soaked his body. For the first time he's going crazy. Love, it turns out this big influence on a person's personality.

Ken has dark eyes, he no longer cares about sin or human morality. All she has in mind is one, Sella must be gone. Because that's the only way to keep him quiet and no longer disturb his life.

"I'm sorry, Aya. Maybe it'll upset you, but this is how I love you." Mumbled Ken slowly.

A few minutes later, Ken's eyes stared at the black car with the familiar license plate. His lips covered a wide smile, the target was already in front of his eyes. Ken continued to follow him, waiting until they arrived at the corner on the edge of the ravine. The night was getting late, the streets were getting quieter, Ken laughed grinningly.

"You stupid Sella, you intend to get out of town at night like this, just as much as giving me a chance. If you had gone during the day, I wouldn't have been able to do anything." Ken said slowly.

Soon after, Ken increased his speed. Sella, who was driving her car at high speed, was a little nervous when a car was about to precede her from the left side.

"What the hell is this guy, has never driven huh, precedes it from the right instead of the left" Sella grumbled resentfully. I don't want him to turn his car a little to the right.

Sella gets more upset, when she sees the car likening her instead, not ahead of her. As Sella slowed down the person also slowed down, as Sella increased her speed, the person also drove faster. With her emotions growing, Sella lowered her car glass, she shouted at the driver beside her.

"Woi, crazy man! Stop you!" sella shouted from behind her wheel.

"Woi, stop!" sella shouted for the second time.

Shortly after, Ken lowered his car's windshield. Sella's body froze right then and there, she did not expect that the rider was Ken. What's he gonna do? Sella's body began to tremble, very scared and nervous.

"Hi Sella, how are you?" ask Ken with ease.

"What are you doing, stop Ken!" shout Sella. He grew even more nervous when he remembered the sharp bend not far from them at this time. The bend that was on the edge of the abyss, could Ken be acting crazy?

"Why are you scared, do you feel guilty about me?" ask Ken.

"Don't be crazy, I didn't do anything!" snapped Sella.

"Why are you afraid then?" ask Ken.

Sella did not answer, but she slowed down her car. The distance the corner was getting closer, the better he turned the direction before Ken acted crazy. Sella is convinced that Ken already knows what he did to Dusk.

But unexpectedly, Ken also slowed down the speed of his car, he continued to match his speed. Their cars kept going.

"Stop, if you want to die!" ken said while pulling out his gun. He pointed it towards Sella.

"The speed of this bullet is very high, it can penetrate the car glass so easily. Do you want one of the bullets to punch a hole in Sella's head, or maybe your chest? So that the dirty blood in your heart can flow out, so that you no longer hold envy, spite, or revenge" continued Ken with a sharp look.

"You, you don't go crazy Ken! What are you gonna do?" sella shouted with wide rounded eyes. Since when did Ken become this cruel?

"I just want to do what you did to Aya. A little blood! Isn't this what Sella's justice is?"

Sella did not answer, her brain was thinking hard. He stared at Ken's face at a glance, there was a murderous aura emanating from the glint of his eyes. Run, that's the only word Sella has in mind. Turning around was impossible, Ken continued to match his speed, he would stand no chance. The only option is to go forward, he will go fast, and leave Ken behind.

Without many words, Sella immediately stepped on the gas pedal. His car immediately shot up, and left Ken's car. Ken smiled obliquely, his plan running smoothly, he quickly followed Sella's car. His foot continued to tread on the gas pedal firmly.

"I'm not gonna shoot you, 'cause later everyone will know, if you die from being killed. But if you fall into a ravine, people will think you're an accident. Now you know, which one of us is the smartest, Sella?"

Until he arrived at the corner, Ken continued to increase his speed. His car sped up quickly, and preceded Sella's car from the left side. Sella was too late, but he maintained the position of his car, he did not turn to the right even if only a little.

"I didn't kill you, Sella, I just hurt you, like you hurt Aya. If you die, it's your destiny. But if you're alive, I'm sure you're not going to be as healthy and normal as you can be," Ken said, turning his car around, returning to the hospital.

Flash back off

"You're crazy Ken, you killed Sella!" screamed while covering his mouth. He didn't expect Ken to act that way.

"I didn't kill him, I just hurt him. Like he hurt you." Answer Ken.

"That's the same as Ken, you indirectly made him die. Where's your conscience, Ken?" scream at Dusk while crying.

"I'm doing this for you, I love you, I don't want him to hurt you a second time" Ken said, holding his shoulder.

"Love isn't like this, Ken. You don't have to commit a great sin to love."

"Sin let me take it upon myself, this is how I love you." Answer Ken.

"You are wrong, not only you bear, but all of us. If this is revealed by the police, you'll go to jail. And again, if they find out you're keeping an illegal weapon, how many years do you think you'll be languishing there. Think of me, think of Rashya, think of Mama and Papa. Think of our feelings, if all of that were to happen!" shout Dusk.

"That can't happen."

"That's very possible, why did you say no?"

"It's not an illegal weapon, I buy it legally, I pay taxes every year. And again, Sella's accident, my actions will never be revealed." Say Ken firmly.

"But still, you shouldn't do that. Now how different are you from Sella, nothing, equally evil! I'm disappointed in you Ken, so disappointed!" said Dusk while turning his face away.

Ken stared fixedly at Dusk, why his wife did not understand how he felt.

"I'm sorry for disappointing you. Sella and I are the same, Sella is acting crazy for loving me, and I'm acting crazy for loving you. Whether you forgive me or not is your right. The important thing is I've been honest with you, you know, you're the only one who knows this. I know what I'm doing is wrong, but I'm doing this to take care of you, because I love you so much, Aya. Again, forgive me!" ken said as he got up from his seat, he stepped away leaving Dusk still crying.

The night was late, the clock was 11:00 p.m. Dusk was still awake, he could not close his eyes at all. Rashya was sleeping with her grandmother, Dusk was silent in her room. Since this afternoon, Ken hasn't seen her at all. Since coming out of the room, he went straight to his study, did not eat, and also did not take a shower. At dinner, his parents called him, but he refused, arguing that he was still finishing a little work. His parents don't know if Ken is silencing Dusk.

A few minutes later, Dusk rose from his seat, he rolled up his sheep carelessly, and stared at his reflection in the mirror.

"Am I overreacting, is that as big as Ken's disappointment in me? All this time he never silenced me, did my words hurt him so much." Mumbled the twilight slowly.

"I have to see him, I have to talk to him" said Dusk as he stepped his foot.

Dusk comes out of his room, he heads to the study, where Ken is.

"Ken! Ken!" call Dusk while knocking on the door.

Long enough Dusk waited, but there was no answer from inside, the door leaf was also still tightly closed.

"Ken! Ken!" call the Sun for the second time.

Dusk let out a long sigh, then he opened the door, which turned out to be unlocked. Dusk opened it wide, and he stared at the sheer length of the room that looked very dark.

"Ken, where are you?" ask Dusk.

There was still no answer, then Dusk's eyes stared at the door leading to the balcony, the door was wide open. Dusk stepped towards it, and he saw Ken sitting on a chair while sipping a cigarette.

"Ken!" call Dusk.

Ken did not turn his head, let alone answer, as if he had not heard the voice of Dusk. He still smokes his cigarettes hard.

Once again Dusk let out a long sigh, then he stepped up and approached Ken.

"Darling!" call Dusk while touching Ken's shoulder.

Seriate...
