Dusk Sky
Only Dusk

Twilight wriggled in his sleep when he felt a hand coiled around his stomach.

"Have you come home?" Twilight turned her body and saw her husband embracing her.

Baskara put a warm kiss on his wife's forehead for quite a while. His hands moved to tidy up some of the mane of the wife who covered the beautiful face that had just woken up.

He breathed a disappointed breath. Disappointed in himself. Disappointed at not being able to keep Dusk from listening to hurtful words.

Disappointed at presenting a narrow-minded family at Dusk.

"Sorry.. Sorry me.. Maafin Oma." he said softly full of requests.

"Why are you sorry?" I don't know what happened to her husband after he and his family came home.

Because Baskara didn't come home. The young man asked him to go home first and promised to follow soon.

"Oma had fainted" he murmured softly.

"Well! How can?"

Baskara tells what happened after the departure of Dusk and his family.

How when his father was angry and himself who quarreled with the Oma in outline. Not telling the details of what was said from the lips of oma and herself.

"Oma what the hell?! It's not appropriate for Oma to talk like Dusk!"

The stubborn Oma was clearly unwilling to budge. He heard a high tone in his grandson's voice.

"What's wrong?! Everything Oma said was a fact!"

Baskara's jaw is hardened. His hand muscles poked when he tightened his hand grip on each side of the body. Resisting emotions so as not to be rude to the woman who lowered the gene for her.

"What is right?! Not because the older Oma keeps feeling the truest here!"

"Oma wants offspring. I getcha!"

"Me and Dusk are also working on it."

"But having me marry a cheap woman like Grace is a mistake!" point it at the girl who is always beside Oma.

Grace stared at the nanar with teary eyes. Making Oma even more furious at her grandson who is no longer like he used to be.

"Because no woman is as good as Dusk for me."

"And there will never be another woman whom I will marry other than Dusk!"

Oma increasingly showed an expression of hostility.

"Who do you think you can oppose Oma?!"

"The blood that runs through your body is the blood that I passed down!"

Baskara grunting. "If Bus can change, Bus will change so that Oma does not demand anything from me!"

"You're the only successor to the company that Opa founded! so you must have offspring to continue our family business!"

"And Oma who will help you have offspring from other women if your wife can't count on!"

Baskara wondered why Omanya could think so petty.

"Don't Oma try to imagine that Oma is in the twilight position now?"

"Can't Oma feel the pain my wife feels when she hears all the hurtful words Oma says?"

"DON'T OMA APPRECIATE HER FEELINGS AS A FELLOW WOMAN?! ISN'T OMA??" I don't know what way he'll wake up to his omens.

"Bas is an adult. The bus can make its own choice. It's a life Bas. And Oma has no right to set it up!" after saying that, Baskara left her parents' house.

Carrying away the still boiling emotions inside his head.

Hoping that the wind caress could blow away the tightness in his chest.

There was a sense of regret for quarreling with oma. But so great was his hatred given the injury that his wife felt.

It took him a moment to reduce the obvious chaos in him before he met his wife later.

But while traveling to the house of Dusk, his father called and reported if Oma was being treated for fainting.

"Sorry, because of me, I'm fighting with Oma."

Baskara shook his head in his wife's arms. "It's not your fault. It's my responsibility to defend you as a wife, ayy."

The twilight breath swept through Baskara's hair. "As snapping at Oma, huh? so you could faint?"

Baskara just kept silent not answering. He felt that at this time Dusk should be complaining to him about how much heartache he felt now. About his wife's dislike of Oma.

Dusk should sue him. Not even apologizing. Because if anyone should apologize, that person is not his wife.

"By any chance, Oma is a person worthy of respect. The one who loved you from childhood, ma'am. Oma only expects the best. So it shouldn't be like that."

Swollen eyelids. Explains how long the girl cried before going to bed. But now the woman can still defend the person who has hurt her. And it made Baskara feel guilty and disappointed in herself.

For the first time Dusk shed tears throughout their marriage. Things Baskara never expected would happen.

"What's best for me, only I know."

The twilight fingers stroked the husband's hair gently. She did not like to see her husband who was usually relaxed, calm, emotional like this.

It's not that he's not sick. She felt great pain when Oma from her own husband said she was barren.

"You're not considering Oma's offer to marry Grace, are you?"

Baskara immediately let go of his wife's embrace and looked at her with narrowed eyes and clashing teeth. "I'll assume, I never heard you say rich, ayy."

"It's not like a guy with a wife of two?"

Dusk smiled thinly. A smile that did not touch her sad eyes. Baskara knew very well that there was a terrible pain behind the smile and the visible stubbornness.

"You're sleepy, ayy. Sleep over. I'll change my clothes first."

Dusk grabbed her husband's wrist, which was holding a blanket over his chest.

"Well doesn't mean you have to be intimate, does it? producing children can be done through medical, right?"

Baskara sighed and sat back on the bed. "You're sleepy, you need to sleep so that your mind can clear again."

"But I'm serious, mas. I thought it was."

"Monday. Pleases. Don't make me feel the same emotion as you. And don't say anything you'll regret later." said Baskara coldly.

If her husband had called her by name, it meant that her husband was very angry.

Dusk stared at the strapping back that left him to clean himself up. Covering her face with both hands as tears flow back down her cheeks.

While in the bathroom, Baskara was hitting the wall with his fist under the shower to vent the emotions he felt. No matter what his bloody knuckles are.

Marriage is not a game for him. There is a responsibility before God that will count.

He also promised never to marry again even though Dusk forced him.

Not just as a promise. But his heart only wanted Dusk to be on the side.
