The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

Dusk Worry

The night increasingly greet, along with moonlight, and the flickering stars that adorn the sky. Two people were joking around on the balcony of the room, they sat together on the carpet, enjoying a sweet warm drink, as sweet as their love affair.

"Ken!" call Dusk.

"Hemmm, why baby?"

"Smoke!" said Dusk while thrusting a pack of cigarettes lying in front of him.

"Why did you tell me to smoke?" asked Ken while frowning his forehead, he was a little surprised to hear the twilight request.

"I haven't seen you smoke in a long time." Answer Dusk.

"Then?"

"I want to see it" replied Dusk.

"Did I look more handsome, if I was smoking, Aya?" ken Goda.

"Don't want ya already" grumbled Dusk as he turned his face away.

"Bad grumpy!" said Ken while ruffling his twilight hair.

Then he picked up a cigarette, and started to start it. Ken sucked it hard, then blew his smoke near the face of Dusk.

"Do you like it, Aya?" whispered Ken in the ear of Dusk. This woman is indeed strange, if usually a woman will prohibit her man to smoke. But not with Dusk, he even really likes himself who is smoking.

"Yes so," replied Dusk with a big smile. For some reason, he was so happy to see Ken smoking. Impressed more manly according to him.

Ken did not reply, but quickly his hand reached out to the shoulder of Dusk. He brought his wife's body into his arms. Dusk did not refuse, he actually leaned his head on Ken's chest, while staring at the pendant of shells that never separated from Ken's neck.

"The company I smoke, in this way yes," said Ken while tightening his arms.

"Don't be tight, I can't breathe Ken!" said Dusk with a crisp laugh.

"really? But you can still laugh" teased Ken as he lowered his head. He cupped his twilight cheeks, and looked at him fixedly.

"Thank you, Aya." Ken said right in front of the face.

Dusk smiled, enjoying the smell of nicotine coming out of Ken's mouth. A moment later, Dusk began to open his voice.

"Thank you for what?" tanya Dusk, with eyes that can not be separated from the face of the husband.

"Thank you for the love you gave me, thank you for accepting me as your life partner. Aya, you're the only woman who made me fall in love. From this moment on, promise never to leave me, no matter what. I want to spend the rest of my life with you, Aya. Enough death can separate us," said Ken while rubbing the cheeks of Dusk with both fingers.

"I promise you, I'm sorry for disappointing you so much, Ken. Sometimes I feel ashamed, seeing your love that sincere. Sometimes I don't feel like I deserve any of this, Ken." Dusk. His fingers began to slowly raise, rubbing Ken's jaw gently.

"Don't say that! You are the only woman who deserves my love. You know Aya, how happy I am right now. The biggest dream of my life is to marry you, and now, that dream is already incarnated in real life. I'm so happy, Aya."

"I'm also happy Ken, loving you, and being loved by you is a wonderful gift. This happiness, I can no longer express in words."

"May we always be happy, Aya."

"Amiinn, may God grant our wish."

Then Ken closer his face, he eroded the distance between the two. In just a second, Dusk felt the smell of nicotine begin to stick to his lips. Soft, sweet, a taste that always keeps him stuck in longing.

A few minutes later, Ken turned his face away. He smiled, when he saw the lips of Dusk wet because of it.

"Very sweet," said Ken while rubbing the corner of the lips of Dusk.

Dusk lowered his head, hiding his increasingly blushing face. Ken, you really made Dusk helpless.

Shortly thereafter, Dusk gasped in surprise. He remembered one thing that made him very curious.

"Ken!" call Dusk with a loud enough voice.

"You again?" ken asked, rolling his eyes.

"No, I want to ask you seriously." Answer Dusk.

"Ask what, just ask!"

"What are you doing, Sella? You promised you'd tell me about it, and tell me about Miss Carolyna too. He's not an indiscriminate person, why can you cooperate with him?" ask Dusk quickly.

"I'm not a random person either, Aya. You doubt your husband's abilities, hemm?"

"Ken, I'm serious." Said the evening pleading, the article until the time Ken has not told what happened with Sella, or Miss Carolyna.

"You sure you want to know?" ask Ken.

"Related. Tell me quickly!" reply Dusk.

"What's wrong?" ask Dusk.

"Please promise, and I'll tell you everything, without exception!" answer Ken.

"All right, I promise."

Ken smoked his cigarette first, before starting his conversation. Ken turned and looked at his wife.

"Do you know that Miss Carolyna is Adara's mother?"

"Yes, I know, why?" ask Dusk.

"The person who spread the slash back then was Sella, she was disappointed that I was going to marry you. She knew all of it from Jhon Victory, her father Adara, her husband Lady Carolyna." Ken explained.

"They know each other? Ehhh-wait, don't tell me that Pak Jhon's mistress is Sella."

"You're right."

"You're serious Ken, Sella's in touch with Mr. Jhon. Isn't he old enough?" ask Dusk while frowning. Could it be that Sella is that close?

"Not old enough, but old enough. At that time Sella's company went bankrupt, and Mr. Jhon who helped her, in exchange, yes slept together. Then I managed to dismantle it, and Miss Carolyna was very grateful to me, which is why she wanted to work with my company." Speak Ken at length.

"Where are they now? What did you do to them, Ken?" ask Dusk.

"I didn't hurt them, even now they're happy." Ken replied with a slanted smile.

"You're lying, what are you doing?"

"They often sleep together, maybe they love each other. So, instead of sinning, I made them bond halal." Answer Ken.

"They're married?" ask Dusk quickly.

"Yes, he got married yesterday, along with us. But it wasn't just my plan, but Ms. Carolyna's. He was tired of facing Mr. Jhon who always had a mistress. So he framed her with Sella, after all the assets behind the name became hers." Answer Ken.

"So now they're not rich?"

"No."

"You're crazy Ken!" Shouting Dusk.

"Can't you?"

"You're outrageous, you trapped Sella with an old man who had nothing. He must be mad at Ken, he'll have more grudges against us. Ken, I didn't expect you to be that cruel," grumbled the Twilight with a maniacal lip.

"He's also outrageous, he's spreading bad news about you, and Dawn. I don't accept it, Aya."

"But don't be like this Ken, if he's angry, and wants revenge again, how? You know, a lion will act more ferociously, if its body is injured. Likewise with humans, they will act more recklessly, if their hearts are injured. You hurt him a long time ago, and now you're destroying his future. Think ahead, Ken!" said Dusk while looking at Ken.

"He will not be able to do anything, even if later he is still reckless, I will give a more appropriate reply. You take it easy, I can protect my family." Ken said firmly.

"But I'm not calm, Ken," said Dusk.

"There I am, you don't have to worry. I will always take care of you, I will not let anyone touch you. Trust me!" ken said while embracing the body of Dusk.

***

One month later, Sella and Jhon's relationship deteriorated further. The money they have is getting thin, while Mr. Jhon, he does not want to work, and does not want to live simply. He was often angry, and even began to dare to hit Sella, when the woman denied his words, or rejected his desires.

Sella's life is suffering more, her synthetic body is getting thinner, and her face looks more wrinkled, because there is no money for treatment. The more the day the grudge in his heart burned, he could not forget the actions of Ken, and Lady Carolyna who had ruined his life.

Sella promised herself that one day, she would sue them both. They should feel the same way, as they do.

Tonight, Sella is boiling water in the kitchen, making coffee for guests who visit her home. I don't know who he is, it seems to have been very familiar with Mr. Jhon.

Shortly thereafter, two cups of black coffee were finished. Sella takes him to the living room, and puts him on the table.

Sella smiled at a glance, then she stepped away leaving the two of them.

But just a few steps he walked, suddenly Mr. Jhon called him.

"Sella!" call Mr. Jhon.

"Yes, Om," Sella replied, turning her head. Then he came back to Pak Jhon.

"Sit down!" mr. Jhon orders with a smile. A smile that has meaning.

Seriate...
