The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

Will Not Leave

The twilight cry grew even more broken when he heard the words Fajar said.

"Don't cry!" said Fajar while wiping the tears of Dusk with both hands.

"Why did you say that, brother, I will not leave you, never will!" said Dusk on the sidelines of his cry.

"You..are you serious about what you say, baby?" ask Dawn.

"I'm very serious. I love you Brother, so I cannot leave you. I accept whatever your circumstances. But what I really imagine, why don't you just say this first, why should you cover it from me. I'm your wife Kak, I deserve to know about you." replied Dusk as he stared at Dawn.

"I'm sorry, baby, I'm too scared of the bad possibilities that lie in my shadow. A lot of people look at this disease with one eye, I'm afraid you'll behave the same way as them. And with this disease, I can't touch you at all. It must have been hard for you too, that's why I was afraid to say everything" Fajar said.

"I'm not that cruel, brother, if you were honest from the beginning, I would not misunderstand, and consider you cheating" said Dusk.

"I'm ashamed honey, I feel too contemptible, I don't have the confidence to admit it. You are too perfect, too noble compared to me" said Dawn.

"You're wrong, brother, I'm not much different from you. I'm not as noble as you think. I. I am no longer a virgin, sister." said Dusk slowly, as he lowered his head. His heart was beating fast, I don't know what the reaction of Dawn was like upon hearing his confession.

"You..are you seriously Twilight?" ask Dawn in surprise.

All she knew was that Dusk was a fine woman. Although she dated Ken for a long time, they did not go over the line. In this case Alvin was quite hard at educating him.

"I'm serious."

"Did Ken get your first night?"

"Yes." replied Dusk as he bit his lip.

"Have forgotten the past! We are just ordinary people, making mistakes, and mistakes are not impossible. Now all we can do is fix our future, and also our relationship" Fajar said as he grabbed the body of Dusk, and carried it into his arms. He rubbed his arms gently, and affectionately.

"Are you still able to say the same thing, brother, if you knew that my chastity had just taken off last night" said Dusk in his heart.

"Sister!" call Dusk.

"Yes." Yeah."

"What, Mama and Papa don't know about your illness?" tanya Dusk looked up, looking at the jaw of her husband who was overgrown with fine hair.

"No." replied Dawn while shaking her head.

"Why didn't you say it? If you speak frankly, maybe Mama won't corner me, nor will she tell you to marry again" said Dusk.

"I told you it's a disgrace baby, everyone knows HIV is caused by promiscuity. And this disease is deadly. Mama and Papa must have been devastated, if they knew of my situation like this. And again, if this news comes out, it will have a bad impact on the business that Papa has pioneered for a long time. I try to keep my good name in public, I don't want to embarrass my family" Fajar said at length.

"That's why information about Adara was also shut down. His family does not want the disgrace to be known by others." continued Fajar.

"I get it, but if it just tells Mama, and Papa. I don't think that's a bad thing, brother. Soon they'll find out, you won't be able to hide all this forever. In time they'll know, and it'll be best if you say it in the first place. At least they're not surprised" said Dusk.

"You're right, honey. Your departure yesterday made me realize how important honesty is. I have decided to tell this to my family. I'm sorry, Mama's been cornering you because of me. Later if the time is right, I'll straighten things out. After that I hope your attitude to you can be better." said Fajar while looking down. He stared at the Dusk still in his arms.

"Thank you, baby, you want to accept me. I am thankful that God still allows me to be with you in my last moments" said Dawn, cupping her twilight cheek.

"Don't tell me it's brother!" said Dusk while sticking his index finger in the lips of Dawn.

"On the age is the secret of God, the doctor only guesses, still not necessarily the truth. Let us pray, may God do wonders for us. Hopefully Kak Fajar's disease can be cured, and Kak Fajar can take care of me until old." continued Dusk with a smile.

"I feel like I've regained the light of love that was extinguished yesterday. May this marriage continue beautifully, and there will be no more trials. Whatever the circumstances of Dawn, I accept it. I am grateful, and happy, for his love for me is so sincere. May last night's mistake have no impact on me." Inner Dusk in his heart.

***

The blue sea that stretches wide, combined with a stretch of black sand, as well as rocks that line solidly along the beach. The roar of the waves that sounded melodious, as well as the soothing breeze. Romantic, one of the most appropriate words to describe this place.

Fused with nature, while staring at the sun that almost drowned. Two people were sitting next to each other on the ocean side. He stretched out his feet, and let the waves wash over him. They are Alvin, and Nina. They are in the southern part of Lumajang City, precisely in Tempursari Subdistrict.

Nina is trusted by her superiors, to design a large house owned by a famous person in this city. Due to its location being quite far away, and taking a long time to review its location, Alvin decided to accompany it. He could not let Nina go alone.

Tempursari is not a dense city filled with skyscrapers. But the area is still beautiful, with its natural panorama, and enchanting. Coming to this place, it is very incomplete if you do not visit the beach while enjoying the typical grilled fish. That's why this afternoon Alvin invited Nina to enjoy the twilight on the beach.

"The view here is really beautiful, it feels like I really want to linger in this place" Nina said with a big smile, he looked in admiration at the sun that was spraying his pink light on the western horizon.

Alvin did not answer, he only smiled as he looked at Nina's cheerful face. His hand was still clasping tightly, there was a small thing he was hiding there. In terms of romance Alvin including people who suck, stating love is something that is very difficult for him.

"Sister Alvin why shut up, look at that, sister, it's so pretty, isn't it?" nina said as she pointed towards the twilight.

"Beautiful you are." replied Alvin with a fast-beating heart.

"Ah Brother Alvin don't be so dong." said Nina while looking down, she hid her face that began to turn red.

"Nina, I want to tell you something" Alvin said.

"What's up, sister?" nina asked as she lifted her face.

Alvin did not have time to answer, suddenly there was a slightly large wave rolling from the middle of the ocean. Alvin quickly pulled Nina's hand, and invited her to stand up.

"Let's run! We're gonna get wet!" yelled Alvin while taking Nina away from the beach.

"I'm shocked Brother" Nina said with a laugh.

"Sometimes the waves here are high. That's why it's forbidden to bathe on the beach." replied Alvin while pointing to a warning sign affixed to a catapult tree, which was not far from where they stood.

"Yes, your brother is right. A little horrified when I saw the big waves, but I still liked this place. Very beautiful!" nina replied while still smiling.

"Milina!" call Alvin while looking at Nina.

"Yes, why?"

"Actually, I want to tell you something. I'm..."

"Bak, Mas, the grilled fish is done. Please enjoy it!" a woman shouted as she approached them.

They had ordered grilled fish at the Lesehan stall that was there.

"Yes, brother, let's go there!" take Nina with you while stepping her legs.

"Come on." replied Alvin lazily.

"Damn, fail again! Though I have worked hard to gather my courage, but even some are disturbing. Waves, fish burn. Ahh everything sucks!" alvin grumbled in his heart. Inevitably he returned to pocket his ring, and followed the steps of Nina who had walked increasingly away.

Seriate....
