The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

Memories of the Past

In the silence of the night, Dawn sat alone on the living room sofa. He held his head which was painful, and dizzy. Thinking about his household, as well as his future, made his heart, and mind very chaotic. Why is the path of his life becoming difficult, and bitter like this? The carelessness he had done, led him to a wound hole that was somewhere basic.

Then Dawn grabbed the tissue box that was on the table, she took some sheets, and then wiped the sweat that soaked her forehead.

"Why did everything become like this" Fajar said slowly.

"I hate my destiny, I hate it!" shouts Dawn while kicking the table in front of her. His breath hunted, and his chest rose and fell restraining emotions.

Dawn gripped the edge of the sofa very tightly, her lips trembled, and her eyes began to glaze over. Not because he was too weak, but this fate was really too painful to feel.

"I love Dusk so much, I don't want to let go of him. But with a reality like this, getting her pregnant was tantamount to hurting her. But I can't explain everything, I'm afraid he'll hate me, and leave me. I hope God will give me a way out of this problem." said Fajar in his solitude.

A few minutes later, Dawn was startled by the vibration of the cell phone in her pocket. Dawn reached into him, and grabbed his phone. There is one new message from someone who is able to make his heart beat fast. Dawn opened it, and read the message.

After reading the message, Fajar closed his eyes. He wants to escape from this reality, but it is power. He was just an ordinary human being, he should be able to walk down the path that had been outlined to him. Although this was very difficult, but inevitably he had to accept it. All of this happened not without cause, but because of carelessness, and mistakes that he did himself.

Dawn picked up a few sheets of tissue, she wiped her increasingly sweaty forehead. Then he switched on his phone again, and booked a flight for tomorrow morning flight to Singapore.

"I'm sorry it's twilight" said Dawn slowly, as she moved from her seat, and walked to her room.

Dawn opened the door of her room slowly. And his heart was sliced with pain, as he watched Dusk fall asleep on the floor while leaning his back on the bed. The remains of her tears still looked wet on her cheeks.

"I'm sorry Twilight, please forgive me!" said Dawn while kissing Dusk's forehead long enough.

Then he lifted up the body of the twilight, and laid it on the bed. He then covered his wife with a blanket. Dawn rubbed the twilight hair gently.

"When circumstances force us to part ways, I want to make sure you're married to a man who loves you so much. I'm sorry Dusk, maybe my selfishness is hurting you. But this love is too big, I really can't let go of you." said Fajar as he stared fixedly at Dusk.

Soon, he lay down next to Dusk. Hugged his wife's waist, and then closed his eyes. Trying to shake off all the bad memories that were fatal to his future.

***

In a luxury apartment located in the center of Tokyo. A man was growling in annoyance, ruffling all the things on his desk. He's Ken, he's so upset that he can't find any information about Adara.

Ken's pinching his temple, why is it this complicated? So far, he has never had trouble finding information about someone. Who's protecting Adara, who's shutting down information about her?

From the information Ken got, in addition to being in his family business, he also became a great designer. His name is well known in the fashion world. Not only in the country, even abroad have many who know the name Adara.

A year ago his family moved to Jakarta, but there was no sign of Adara moving there, but there was also no sign that Adara was still living in Surabaya. From that moment on Adara seemed to disappear swallowed by the earth, somewhere he went, and what happened to him. There is not a shred of information about him, even the fashion world seems to have forgotten his name.

"Could it be Dawn that hid Adara? Where is he now?" ken said as he lit his cigarette.

"You dare betray Dusk, you will deeply regret Dawn! I will not remain silent, I will snatch Dusk from your side. He'll be back in my arms, you'll see!" said Ken while staring at the photo of Dusk plastered on his laptop screen.

"Our story, I won't let it be a memory. Let it be delayed now, but one day, I'll re-knit it. I still really expect you to be twilight." said Ken with a faint smile.

Then his hand clasped his necklace pendant. And without being asked, a shadow about the past flashed in his memory.

Flashbacks

Three years ago, when Ken and Dusk were still lovers. One afternoon they were mixing love on the beach. They were sitting together on a stretch of white sand, staring at the blue of the open ocean.

"Surprise!" said Dusk while smiling widely. He took out the food box from his bag.

Ken frowned in surprise, then he smiled as Dusk opened his lunchbox. A box-shaped birthday cake, with flower-formed butter ornaments. Then Dusk took a small candle out of his bag, stuck it in, and then lit it. It's just that the gust of the beach wind is too strong, until the fire is always extinguished, and the candle fails to be lit.

"Yes, it always goes out." replied Dusk with a laugh.

"You're deliberately, pretending to forget, but you're actually preparing a surprise for me. You're getting naughty baby." said Ken as he pinched his twilight cheek.

"You're the one who's insensitive. How could I forget your birthday Ken, you are the most important person in my life." replied Dusk.

"Smart seduce now, learn where?"

"Learn from you." replied Dusk with a loud laugh.

"Is that so?"

"Yes dong. Ken, although it doesn't feel perfect, but I made it myself. I made this special for the person I love. Happy birthday Ken, may you live a long life, and may all your hopes be achieved. May you always be healthy, and always happy." said Dusk with a smile.

"Thank you Aya, my happiness is you. So if you want me to be happy, stand by my side, and remain my lover. Don't ever leave me Aya!" said Ken while cupping both cheeks Dusk.

"You are my back, Ken, I will not be able to leave you." replied Dusk with a smile.

Ken did not answer, but he drew his face closer. Dusk smiled, then he put his birthday cake on his lap. Then he put both his hands around Ken's neck. Their breathing warmed up to each other on the face, and the distance between the two was further eroded away. The two close each other's eyes, enjoy a soft touch, and are sweet from each other's lips.

The sun increasingly crawled into the contest, leaving orange light that gushed beautifully, as beautiful as the romance story between Ken, and Dusk.

"You've always been a sweet baby, you've always lulled me down." said Ken, letting go of his kiss. His hand caressed the twilight cheek, and then down to the neck. Dusk opened his eyes, he held Ken's hand that was about to touch down more.

"Don't Ken!" twilight.

"Why? I will definitely marry you."

"Sister Alvin trusts me, I don't want to tarnish his trust. If you're going to marry me, we'll do it later. I will definitely take care of him, for my husband!" replied Dusk while looking at Ken.

"All right, I get it, I'm sorry Aya." said Ken.

"Yes, oh yes I also have something for you" said Dusk as he let go of his hand. He pulled something out of his bag.

Dusk took out a necklace, the rope was black with a small, very beautiful clam shell pendant.

"This shell I got from this place, a place that bears witness to our love. We always stare at dusk from this place, so I hope that every time you stare at this necklace, you always remember the twilight." said Dusk as he put his necklace around Ken's neck.

"Do you mean the twilight ray, or the Light of Dusk?" ask Ken while he draws his face closer.

"Two, you must always remember anything related to twilight." replied Dusk quickly.

"The twilight may I forget, but the Light of Dusk, I will never forget it. Forever, I will always remember him, and love him." said Ken as he stroked his twilight cheek. And again they dissolve in a kiss.

Flash back off

Ken snorted in annoyance, all of that had already passed. There was no more twilight on his side. Dusk is married, Dusk belongs to someone else. So many years he waited, it turned out even Dawn who got Dusk.

"If Dawn hurts you, I'd really like to get you back. I don't care that even if you're a widow, I still love you Aya." Ken said, covering his face.
