The Sanctity of Tarnished Love

Dusk Conscious

The sun has crawled up to reveal its might. Its golden radiance dyed the entire universe. Blood in the head of Dusk has been successfully removed, the operation went smoothly, but unfortunately he has not been aware until now.

Ken, Alvin, and Mr. Jeffry, they are still faithfully waiting for Dusk in front of the room. As for Nicko and the others, they had just returned home.

"Senja is harmed by people" said Alvin while staring at the screen of his phone.

"really?" ask Ken quickly. Spontaneously, he immediately turned his head, and looked at Alvin.

"When you tell me. From the CCTV footage, a woman came into the bathroom, she came out just after Dusk. Before he left, he closed the door, and stuck the broken text." Answer Alvin.

"A woman." Mumbled Ken slowly.

"Could he be Sella, but is that possible? Wasn't he stuck in a remote village with Jhon Victory. It is possible that Jhon Victory released him, but judging from his nature, Jhon really likes women. He's not just gonna let Sella go. I remembered Aya's words back then" Ken's inner self with a rapidly beating heart. It seems like the worries of Dusk, have really become real.

"When you still have the tape?" ask Ken.

"Still, he's on his way here. She'll show you the tape later, maybe you can recognize who that woman is." Answer Dika.

"Whoever he is, I will never forgive him, he must pay for what he has done." Ken said firmly.

"Sella, if it's really you. You just wait, what am I gonna do to you!" inner Ken while clenching his hand.

"Ken, is this not Sella? Maybe he's hurt, because yesterday you set him up with Jhon" said Mr. Jeffry.

"I suspected him too" Alvin chimed in.

"I did all of that, hoping he would get stuck, and not bother me anymore. But apparently, the punishment was still less severe for him. If it's Sella, I'm gonna make her feel what real punishment is." Ken said with a sigh.

Shortly thereafter, Dika arrived at the hospital. He came with Anna and Nina. They immediately approached Ken and Alvin who were sitting in the waiting chair.

"How is Dusk, Brother? He's fine, right?" ask Nina.

"He's unconscious, but the operation is going well, and his heart rate is also normal." Answer Alvin.

"Thank God, I'm relieved that things are getting better" Nina said as she sat next to Alvin.

"You have the tape?" ask Ken without further ado. His eyes stared fixedly at Dika.

"Yes, look at it for yourself! Maybe you recognize him," replied Dika while thrusting her phone.

Ken grabs the phone, and he watches closely, CCTV footage of the incident last night.

In the video, a woman wears a long black dress paired with a black blazer. He wears glasses, and his mouth is covered in a mask.

Ken growled in annoyance, and the roar of his breath could be heard hunting, it was obvious that he was holding back anger. Just look at Ken already knows, if it's Sella. Although his face was not clearly visible, but from his posture, and his long reddish hair, Ken was sure it was Sella.

Ken's blood was boiling, wanting to kill Sella right then and there. Sella appears to be in the bathroom, but she doesn't close the door, not knowing what she's doing there.

A few minutes later, two women came. They each went into a different bathroom. When the two women did not come out, Dusk came while rubbing his dress. Dusk went straight into the bathroom Sella occupied, because that was the only bathroom that was open.

About ten minutes later, Sella came out of the bathroom, she closed the door, and pulled something out of her bag, apparently a piece of paper and glue. Sella put a broken inscription on the door leaf, then she stepped away from the place. Sella goes to the party room, but she does not mix with the other guests. He immediately went to the parking lot, and drove away from Dika's residence.

"Arghhh!! Turns out it was really Sella." Shouted Ken loudly.

"You've beaten him, no wonder he's got a grudge against you" Dika said, staring at Ken.

"And he tried to destroy you through Dusk" Alvin said slowly.

"I'm sorry, sister, I didn't expect Sella to be this reckless. She really is a crazy woman," Ken said as he rubbed his face violently.

"Now what are you going to do?" ask Alvin.

"Ken, don't do it like yesterday! The more he grudges, the more reckless he gets. He'll keep trying to harm you, or your family. Just put him in jail, let the police take care of him" said Mr. Jeffry.

"I agree, the evidence is strong enough, he will not be able to dikal," said Dika.

"No." Answer Ken firmly.

"Why not? What are you gonna do?" ask Alvin.

"Don't be crazy Ken! What are you gonna do?" ask Mr. Jeffry.

Ken had not yet answered his father's question, suddenly the door of the room opened. A doctor stood in the doorway smiling.

"Doctor, how's my wife doing?" ask Ken quickly.

"Alhamdulillah, Mrs Twilight has come to her senses. But, still can't talk. The clash in his head was quite violent, successfully coming to a realization in such a short time was a miracle. I'll keep trying, and you keep praying. God willing, in some time of treatment, Lady Dusk will be healed, as always." The doctor explained.

"Thank God, thank God" Ken said with a smile.

"I know you can fight, keep fighting. You have to heal, you have to be happy" Alvin said, rubbing his face with his palm.

"Can I see him, Doctor?" ask Ken.

"Please! All may see him, but alternately, do not enter at the same time," replied the Doctor with a smile.

"Thank you, Doctor!" ken replied as he stepped in to see Dusk.

***

One week later.

The hour hand shows right at 02:00 in the morning. Ken had just arrived at the hospital, having disappeared since 10:00.

"Where are you from, Ken?" alvin asked while looking at Ken. He disappeared since then, where exactly is he? Not usually Ken left Dusk in a long time. Since Dusk was sick, she had never attended meetings. How important is it this time?

"Just take a walk, looking for fresh air." Answer Ken.

"Until four hours Ken, take a walk where are you?" ask Mr. Jeffry.

"Just go round and round around here." Answer Ken.

"Who's inside?" ken asked before Alvin and Mr. Jeffry asked him again.

"Your mother." Answer Mr. Jeffry.

"When did Mama come here? Then how's Rashya?" ask Ken.

"It wasn't long, about two hours ago. Rashya was sleeping, Aunt was waiting for him." Answer Mr. Jeffry.

"Oh," said Ken as he stepped into the room.

"Mama!" Sapa Ken when he arrived near the bed where Dusk lay.

"Ken, where are you from?" ask Mrs Ratih.

"Ma's streets, looking for fresh air." Answer Ken.

Mrs Ratih got up from her seat, she gave a place for her son.

"Please! Mama will come out first" said Mrs Ratih with a smile.

"Yes Ma."

Then Ken sat down on the chair, next to Dusk. He looked at his wife's face.

"I'm sorry I might disappoint you, but I did all this for you. I won't forgive anyone who's hurt you, Aya." Speak Ken slowly.

Then Ken clasped his twilight fingers, and slapped his face in his wife's arm. Fatigue began to approach his body, Ken seemed to not believe what he had just done.

A few minutes later, Ken began to close his eyes, a sense of fatigue made him drift in the dream world.

About half an hour later, Ken faintly felt a soft touch on his head, Ken blinked his eyes, could this be an illusion? Ken raised his face, and he gasped in surprise when he saw Dusk smiling at him.

"Ken!" call Dusk in a slow voice.
