The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

Go To Singapore

Dusk slowly opened his eyes, when he felt the sunlight start to dazzle his eyes. Dusk yawned while writhing, it felt like his eyes were still reluctant to be invited out of the dream world.

Dusk rubbed his eyes with both hands, he was a little surprised as he stared at the curtains of his room that had opened wide. He looked to the right side, and left, there was no Dawn there. But judging from the blanket, and the bolster that was next to him, it seemed like Dawn slept with him last night.

"Where is Dawn?" he said as he rose from his sleep. He saw the door of the bathroom closed tightly, was Dawn bathing?

Dusk let out a long sigh, reminiscing about last night, his heart ached and sore again. Twilight massage his temples, his head feels dizzy, either because of lack of sleep, or because of too much burden of the mind.

While Dusk was still sitting on the bed, suddenly the door of the room opened. Seen there Dawn was smiling sweetly, he stepped while carrying a tray. Dusk frowned in wonder, Dawn brought breakfast, is that for her? Is it Dawn itself that cooks it? A few questions began to rage in the hearts of Dusk.

"Good morning, baby!" say Fajar while putting his tray on the table.

"For Dawn, are you cooking?" tanya Dusk hesitated.

This morning Dawn looked soft as usual, much different from last night. What's wrong with her?

"Yes, I made breakfast for you." replied Fajar as he stepped closer to Dusk, and sat down next to him.

"You don't have to do that, I'm supposed to cook for you" said Dusk.

"It's okay, sometimes I also want to cook for you" said Fajar with a smile, as his hands tidied up the twilight hair that was still messy.

"Darling!" call Dawn.

"Yes Brother." replied Dusk turning his head, their eyes looking at each other.

"About last night, I'm really sorry baby. I didn't mean to yell at you, and treat you harshly. It's just that I was very surprised to hear the word divorce from you. I love you so much, I'm sick to hear that word." said Fajar as he stared fixedly at Dusk.

The twilight fell silent, the look on Fajr's eyes looked very sincere, there were no lies there. Dusk was unable to say anything, understanding Dawn was quite difficult for him. Dawn loved him, but would not touch him at all. Wh why? From what Dusk knew, Dawn was not an im*oten man, she had seen him react. Then why? What is he hiding?

"Darling!" call Dawn.

"I understand Brother, I'm sorry too, maybe I shouldn't have said that" said Dusk quietly.

Although in his heart many things he wanted to express, but in fact Dusk was not able to express it. Perhaps this is what is called blind love, it is always unacceptable with logic.

"Quick breakfast! I'm sorry I can't keep you company, I have to leave immediately" Fajar said, looking down.

Dusk gasped in surprise, it was still very early, and Dawn said it was leaving immediately. Dusk looked at her husband, he was indeed neat with his formal clothes. Why is it so early, what's in the office? The mind of Dusk is back in chaos.

"Why did you go to work so early?" tanya Dusk ventured.

"I don't work." replied Dawn. And the answer made Dusk frown in wonder, not working, then where would he go?

"Then where are you going, brother?" ask Dusk.

"I have to go to Singapore, there is urgent business there. It won't be long darling, if the work is done, I'll be home soon." replied Fajar.

"Darling, are you okay?" ask Fajar while holding both shoulders of Dusk.

"Why sudden? When did you book the tickets?" Dusk asked, in a soft voice, and trembling.

"I booked the ticket last night, just as my confidant told me, that there was one company that canceled the partnership. It will have a bad impact on my business, baby, I have to take care of it immediately" Fajar explained at length.

Dusk lowered, what Fajar said made sense. For some reason, his heart could not believe him.

"Is your woman in Singapore, sister?" the Dusk in his heart.

"Darling!" call Dawn.

"Go! If you have to do it, then do it! I can only support you Brother." said Dusk while trying to smile.

"Go, brother, and I'll find out what you're doing in Singapore. I will not remain silent, sooner or later I will uncover the truth that you are hiding." said Dusk in his heart.

"Thank you, take good care of yourself as long as I'm not around. I won't be long, I'll definitely be home soon" said Fajar, hugging Dusk tightly.

"I'm sorry Twilight, the more lies I tell. But I have no other choice, this is the only way to keep you by my side." said Fajar in his heart.

"I'm glad you're treated this gently, sister, but I also feel pain, if you remember your strange attitude. Brother Dawn, I want to lean my life on you, but why is this your reply." Inner Dusk in his heart, he closed his eyes, enjoying the embrace of Dawn which made him very comfortable.

"Darling! It's already at half-seven, I'm leaving now huh" Fajar said as he let go of his embrace.

"Yes, be careful" replied Dusk.

"Dear, it's quick to eat, although it's not as good as your cooking, but I hope you like it." said Fajar as he moved from his seat.

"I must have loved it." replied Dusk with a smile, as he moved, and stood before Dawn.

"I go first, baby, I love you" said Fajar while peeping his forehead twilight long enough.

"I love you too Kak." replied Dusk.

Dawn smiled, then she stepped away leaving Dusk. In just a matter of seconds, Dawn's body had already disappeared behind the door. And that very second, the tears of Dusk began to trickle down. Maybe at this time, Dusk deserves the title of the smartest person in terms of pretending. He tried to always smile in front of Dawn, but he always cried lamenting his sorrow, if in solitude.

Then Dusk stepped towards the sofa, and he sat there. Dusk stared at the tray containing food that was located on the table. Spicy fried rice, complete with pepper-seasoned eggs, and onions, there are also cucumber slices placed in a small bowl. One of my favorite foods. Next to his plate, there was a glass of hot chocolate, one of the drinks that Dusk always drank every morning.

Dusk touched the tray with both hands. And without excuse, her tears were getting more and more divorced wetting both her cheeks.

"Why are you doing this, brother, if your love is not really that sincere. What are you hiding, why can't you be honest with me. My heart hurts Brother." said Dusk on the sidelines of his stuffing.

Long enough Dusk to cry in his solitude. Chocolate, and fried rice that was originally hot, has now turned cold. But Dusk does not care, just let it all cool, because he has no intention to eat it.
