The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

One Year Later

Twilight was stunned for quite a long time. The phone still held tightly.

"Why A is a man, I think he's a woman. But it's a Singapore number, I'm sure he has something to do with Kak Fajar's departure. Is he Adara's close man, his right hand man, or his brother. Or maybe Kak Fajar to Singapore really for work" said Dusk alone.

"I must find out who he is, I must not give up on revealing what Kak Fajar hides" said Dusk, pressing the button listed there, he again contacted A.

"What more do you want?" snarled the man in annoyance.

"I want to know what your name is, because I found your number on my old card. Maybe we've known it before." replied twilight quickly. He should not be nervous, lest the man know that he is lying.

"Oh, then tell me what your name is" said the man in a slightly more friendly tone.

"I'm Hana." replied Dusk. Hana was one of his close friends Adara, while he was still living in Surabaya.

"You're Hana, Adara's best friend?" ask the man.

Twilight squinted his eyes, it was true that the man knew Adara.

"Yes, I'm Adara's best friend. I thought this was her number, ever since my phone went missing I lost news of it." replied Dusk.

"No, this is not Adara's number."

"You who?" ask Dusk.

"If you're Hana, you should be able to recognize my voice." replied the man.

"I'm sorry I can't recognize your voice, I've been busy lately with a pretty heavy job. My brain is very tired, so I often forget." said Dusk while twitching his temple.

"It looks like their relationship is quite close, well it seems that I mistakenly claimed to be Hana" said Dusk in his heart.

"Hallo." said Dusk, because the man was still silent.

"Tell me who you really are!" sniff the man.

"I'm..."

"If you really were Hana, you wouldn't ask about Adara. Because Hana knows very well where Adara is now. Tell me what your name is!" snapped the man in a higher tone.

"Tell me where Adara is! I'll tell you what my name is" said Dusk quickly. His heart beats fast, the departure of Dawn has something to do with Adara.

"One day you will know, be patient to wait" said the man.

"What do you mean, quickly tell me where Adara is!" shout Dusk.

"I have no right to tell you. If you want to know, just ask your husband Dusk." replied the man casually. And the answer was successful in making Dusk sculpt instantly.

"He knows me, who he really is." Inner Twilight in his heart.

"You who?" ask Dusk slowly.

"I'm Arrion, now you know my name, so stop calling me!" the man said, and then immediately disconnected his phone.

"Arrion, who is he?" said Dusk in his heart.

Then Dusk put back the phone, but he was still standing there. He bit his fingers while thinking hard.

"The man knew about Adara, but he wouldn't tell me. Ckk must be Kak Fajar who told him to shut up." said Dusk while clucking annoyed.

"But I'm not going to give up, I have to find out about everything. Neither about the man, nor about Adara. But wait, the man said Hana knew about Adara. There's no harm if I extract information from Hana. The more roads I walk, the more opportunities I have to reach my destination" said Dusk. He walked while carving a smile on his lips. At least there's a bright spot to find the truth.

One year later.

Moments of time continue to roll so fast, but not much has changed from the life of Dusk, Dawn, and Ken.

A year into the investigation turned out to be fruitless, Ken still had no idea what Dawn was really hiding. All he knows is that Fajar lives in Adara's apartment, but there is no evidence that Fajar is with Adara. All the ways he has done, but always found a dead end. But Ken did not give up, he would continue to investigate the truth, and would tell it to Dusk. And today he decided to go back to Indonesia.

While Dusk, the wedding path still remains the same as before. Dawn loved her, but never touched her, and her in-laws cornered her even more. Because Farah gave birth, her son, and now 9 months old.

Dusk almost gave up, many times he asked about intimate matters, but the answer of Dawn still remains the same, he did not want children. The suspicion of Dusk is getting here more and more, because now Fajar more and more often go to Singapore. Once Dusk whined to come, but Fajar did not agree with his request, instead he was annoyed with the behavior of Dusk.

Dusk had contacted Sella many times, but the girl had not found any clue about Dawn. And Hana, already various ways Dusk do, but he has not found the existence of Hana. It was as if the woman had also disappeared with Adara. About Hana, and Arrion Dusk did not tell Sella. He thought it was free, because it had been a long time Sella also could not help him.

Tonight, Dusk was sitting on his bedroom bed alone. Dawn went to her parents' house. At noon, Bu Rani invited him to dinner together, but Dusk did not want to come. Dusk was tired, every time he gathered with his family Dawn, he was always a subject of ridicule. They assume that she is a barren woman.

"It's ten o'clock, why hasn't Dawn come home yet" said Dusk in his solitude.

Then he got up from his seat, and stepped towards the window of his room.

"Why should my marriage go like this" said Dusk as he stared at the night moon hanging beautifully in the sky.

While Dusk was enjoying the night, while dissolving his sadness, suddenly his phone rang quite loudly.

Dusk turned his head, frowning in wonder.

"Did Brother Fajar stay over." muttered Dusk quietly, as he stepped towards the table.

But it turns out not Dawn who called, but a new number that is not in the contact list.

"Hallo." said Dusk.

"Hallo Aya." answered the caller who turned out to be Ken.

Twilight closed his eyes, it turned out to be Ken. He wanted to turn off his phone right then and there, but somehow he couldn't do it.

"Yes, are you okay?" ask Ken, because Dusk doesn't make a sound.

"I'm good. Why did you call me?"

"Do you mind?"

"If I'm married, please appreciate it" said Dusk as he bit his lip.

"What kind of marriage are you showing Dusk." Inner Dusk in his heart.

"I appreciate it, but I don't blame it if I want to know how you are" Ken replied casually.

"Now you know that I'm good news, so just close the phone" said Dusk.

"In addition to asking the news, I also want to convey important things Aya. I am now at Juanda Airport, I have returned to Surabaya. I hope we can meet soon" Ken said seriously.

Dusk was stunned when he heard Ken's words. As she grows tired of her marriage, a figure from her past comes back. Ahh hope the marriage still survives, may only death be able to separate it with Dawn. Although he felt tired, and almost gave up, but his love for Dawn was still as great as ever.

"May you soon be able to change Brother, I want our marriage to last until later." said Dusk in his heart.

Although he loved Dawn, he was an ordinary man. With this kind of situation, he was afraid that his heart would waver.
