The temperature in early December is quite cold with the number 7°C. Although it has not reached the lowest point like January which can reach - 9°C. But for Dusk who comes from a tropical country, it is enough to make the girl choose a thick coat with a scarf that will wrap her body to make it a little warmer when out of the house.
Actually Dusk is the laziest to travel in these cold months. He doesn't like winter very much. He is a connoisseur of twilight. And the most beautiful sunset according to him is when summer comes.
Even so, he still came out because there was an appointment with Maureen to go to fashionweek which is only done four times a year. See the latest winter fashion designed by world-renowned dessiners and designers from all over the world.
As a reference determine the latest fashion trends for them to buy. Also as a reference for them in doing the task.
"You have your husband's permission?" Maureen has been very memorized by her best friend's husband who is so overprotective. And he didn't want to be the one to blame for taking the girl out.
"It has. You don't have to worry about that."
The two left in Maureen's car. Because that girl is lazy to go to the basement. Prefer to wait for Dusk at the entrance of the loby.
Dusk raises the warm temperature in his best friend's car. Although it has been almost three years to meet winter, somehow Dusk still can not be friendly with him.
When she was a child, she always dreamed of becoming a princess in the snow kingdom.
"Didn't your husband come home?" maureen asked filled the void. "Does he already have any other warmers in Cambridge?"
"YES!" sentak Dusk did not accept. "He couldn't have done something like that! he had to do the job and could not return! you know, no, that Bas will soon be interning. So he's done with this material in this semester."
Maureen woke up to hear her friend who was upset and so defended her husband.
"Casual darling. I just asked." turned to Dusk and blinked one eye. "And I think your great husband can also hold out for days. If it was my lover, it would have been a mess with just three days."
The twilight sneered in the heart. Don't know what Maureen's bones are like every time her husband comes. As if releasing everything he has accommodated and hold for days by making his body feel crumpled.
"Do you believe that your husband only did it with you?" Maureen is not a scare, she is just happy to see the frantic face of her best friend. "Who knows if there he has anywhere else to let go."
"Looks like you want to die Miss Maureen! why do you keep heating me up, huh?!" Dusk hit the shoulder of his best friend who was driving. The girl who just broke down.
"Stop miss Lazuardi. If you keep hitting me. It seems like I'm not the only one who's going to die. But you are also."
Dusk clucked and lowered his hand. Sit back properly.
If you think, Dusk is not sure Baskara is really able to resist his desires as long as they are far apart.
Because if you look at them when they are struggling. Her husband has a high desire.
And her husband's absence today made her worried and suspicious. Even Baskara forgot to go home. To this day, her husband has not told her. Usually even at dawn Bas never forgets to wake him up. But now it is precisely the message that Dusk sent at breakfast and before leaving was not one that was read.
Where is her husband really?
What Maureen said was right? Until Bas forgot to go home because there was another woman who warmed his bed?
"Hey! I'm just joking, really." Maureen scolded when she saw her best friend daydream. "I believe Bas isn't that kind of guy."
A heavy sigh rang out from Dusk before replying. "Hopefully."
He ignored Maureen's words. But it's getting more thoughtful.
"Come, Dusk. I'm just kidding. Don't you think seriously like that. I don't want to be the reason you guys fight later."
Dusk chuckled at the sight of his best friend panicking. "You just calm down. I wouldn't tell Bas if you poisoned my brain to bad thoughts about my own husband."
"YES!"
In the afternoon, Baskara contacted Dusk when the girl was heading to the restaurant.
"Sorry, ayy. I just went to bed at dawn. That's why I overslept and just woke up." Baskara's hoarse voice proved that the young man really just woke up. Either really just woke up because of work or because of something else. The dusk grew suspicious. But immediately shook his head. It's all because of Maureen.
"Yes, not pa-pa. Next time don't do it again. Do your duty, but don't forget to rest!" his scolding on the husband.
Sometimes advising people is easier than doing it yourself. Because Dusk alone often forget to rest and forget to eat if you have focused on designing clothes. It does not often end with fever.
"Yes sorry. I'm done with the show." There was a cookware noise. It seems her husband is making food.
"Udah. Here's to the restaurant with Maureen. Want to eat ramen kaya delicious cold-cold like this." just imagine it has made Dusk saliva collected. "Have you eaten?"
"I just woke up baby." replied Bas in a very friendly voice. "The owner woke up already there is a masakin. Unfortunately it still takes a lot of struggle to get there."
Dusk rotates his eyeballs. "Lebay! every time I come here I'm masakin too." though Baskara cooks more often. Her impression in heart giggled.
"Yes. My wife is the most diligent cook." said Baskara no less chuckling. "So want to hurry the semester exam so that the internship can continue to be given by the wife every day."
The connection is still connected at Dusk and Maureen until the famous Japanese restaurant there.
"Yes. I can't wait for you here long, either." he said after mentioning the order. "What else to eat?"
"Instant noodles." replied Baskara slightly muttering as her mouth was full of food. "That's a really laper. Last meal of semalem. It's just pasta, too."
"Yes already. That will be a food message. It's gotta be laper again. Don't eat noodles. I have to eat rice too. Our stomachs can't be filled without rice."
"Yes dear.."
"I eat first, huh, mas? I'll call you back when I'm at the apartment."
"OK-"
"Alley!" not finished Baskara replied. There was a man calling his wife's name. It sounds obvious if it's Indonesian. Make him instantly alert. He did not want anyone to approach his wife.
"Eh, brother Doni." said Dusk.
Who's Doni? are you a stranger? think Baskara.
There was a bit of a noise from that guy. Maybe laugh at his wife's surprise.
"Meet us again after a long time" said the man who was twilight called Kak Doni earlier. "Kok you never come if the meeting again there is an event. Only once a month. Time cannot take time."
Baskara nodded her head. Just remember the young man named Doni is a young man who used to greet Dusk at the mall restaurant when he bought a dress for a birthday disguise.
Realizing that fact made Baskara squeeze her own fist. Because Baskara was not a blind man who could not see the radiance of the young man's love for his wife.
In contrast to Dusk who always consider positive people near him. Think of Doni as just a friend of the society.
