Love At the End of Dusk

Love At the End of Dusk
Not Forever Happy is Our Own.


Early in the morning shopping at the supermarket. Zein escorted him first before he left for his office. The twilight that was focusing on his shopping did not realize that someone was watching him from a distance. Dusk was busy choosing the fresh vegetables she would cook for her husband. Because it is not every day he can do it, at least he wants to please the husband with his own homemade cooking.


After feeling enough shopping, Dusk headed to the cashier to pay for groceries. Since her husband must be busy in his office and Dusk does not want to bother her, Dusk chooses to book a taxi online only. Dusk then ordered a taxi online through an online application.


Searching for online taxis is not so long, because so many online taxi services, mushrooming everywhere. Only need to wait 5 minutes online taxi booked has arrived on time.


" With the Mother of Dusk? ask the taxi driver to make sure the customer is right or wrong.


" Yes sir.! reply Dusk.


The driver got down and opened the baggage door. Putting groceries in the trunk. While Dusk went straight into the car. But what a strange look that man had. His face smiled cunningly. It seemed like the man was thinking of something. And it's definitely not a good thing. After the trunk was closed, and Dusk was sitting sweetly in the car, the driver got into the car. Turn on the engine of his car and drive the car away from the place.


Mediocre twilight, not feeling the slightest bit of anything strange. The car is traveling at a moderate speed, and the driver's attitude is not suspicious either. Dusk then busy with his phone to see the recipes of food through googling services. So Dusk was not aware if the direction of the car had changed lanes. Dusk turned his gaze for a moment to pay attention to the path they were going through. At first Dusk did not realize that the path they passed was not the way to their home address. But Dusk increasingly noticed there were foreigners. Dusk did not recognize the path they were walking on right now.


" Who are we going? It seems this is not the direction to my place.! Reminds the taxi driver.


" I took another route Ma'am. Because if passing the usual route at this time must be jammed. And we'll definitely wait in the traffic! the driver answered, Reason.


" Oh, that's it.! Dusk tried to accept the driver's excuse. Although it made little sense to him. Because to his knowledge the road to the house where they live is not a jammed area. During the Dusk stay in the house, Dusk has never experienced traffic jams in the area.


Dusk is still trying to stay calm and think positively. But the road taken by this driver is getting farther and Dusk does not know this route at all. But the feeling is that they are getting further away from their supposed goal. The twilight is increasingly focused on paying attention to the path they are going through. The longer, the farther away and the more isolated from the crowd. Even as if entering the streets of narrow alleys that seem rarely passed by public transportation.


" Mad, where are we going. There are no other vehicles.! said Dusk who began to suspect. Because as much as possible through any lane to get to their homes is a public highway that is always passed by many vehicles.


" About again until Mom. I took a shortcut to avoid traffic.! the driver tried to calm the man. But Dusk had begun to realize if something was wrong with the driver. Dusk opened his phone to contact her husband. The driver knew it. He immediately snatched the phone from the hands of Dusk. Because of the spontaneous action, the car was almost smeared.


" Don't try to contact anyone. Or you will know the consequences! threaten the man. The twilight that understood now if his safety was being threatened tried to remain calm.


" Are you who? What do you want? ask Dusk.


" You don't need to know who I am. If you want to survive, don't do much.! the man tried to scare the dusk. But Dusk was not an ordinary girl who would be intimidated by such threatening words.


" Are you not afraid the police will arrest you?


The man instead smiled sinisterly as he glanced towards Dusk through the mirror in the car.


" You want to scare me? You should have prayed a lot that someone would save you!


Dusk knew his efforts were futile if he only said such nonsense things. But he also could not think at this moment. The path they went through was getting more and more lonely, the opportunity to get help was getting more difficult. But he must not lose hope. The twilight kept thinking calmly. Thinking of an idea that could help him from the bad guy.


The car entered a warehousing location that seemed to have been unused. Seemed abandoned, messy everywhere, rusty old iron and wild grass flourished covering some of the shed walls that had been peeled and dull. After the car stopped, the man got out of the car with a roll of rope in his left hand.


After Dusk's body was tied the man grabbed the phone from his pocket and contacted someone.


" Hello. The task has been carried out. Don't forget our agreement. I don't like it when someone breaks a promise! his tone was so serious and a little scary.


The man was silent for a moment, probably listening to the person talking from inside his phone. Sometimes he nodded his head. About a few minutes later the man put down his phone and approached Dusk.


The man smiled cynically at Dusk. As if mocking and laughing at the misfortune of Dusk.


" It's a pity that you had to have bad luck today.!


" Who told you to do this? Dusk tried to extract information from the man.


" You will know later. At the end of your life you will know everything.! the man said mysteriously. Makes the world more curious.


Dusk is placed in an empty warehouse that may only be entered again by humans this time. The lighting is quite good because the walls of the warehouse have air vents and light that has been gaping wide. After feeling everything was safely under control, the man walked out from there and locked the warehouse door from outside. Leave Dusk alone in there. Deep in his heart Dusk was actually terrified. But he must be brave and strong. Because he realized that right now only he could save himself. Unless God shows him a miracle.


Dusk tried to untie the bond from his hand. But that bond seems so strong. It's hard to let go. Dusk tried to think of what way he could do. But somehow his brain and heart could not think well this time. Zein and Jeremy must be worried about him right now. I don't know what's gonna happen.


Dusk closed both his eyes. Taking a deep breath, trying to calm his heart and mind hoping to find a way for him to escape. For now, that is all he is capable of.


Meanwhile.


Zein who was busy in the office suddenly felt something was not good. His heart suddenly did not calm down. It felt like something bad had happened. Zein grabbed his phone and immediately dialed the number Dusk.


" Sorry. The number you are going to cannot be reached try for a while! answer operator. Zein tried many times and the same answer. Zein then called Jeremy. Just once Jeremy's call picked him up.


" Yes hello Zein, what's up? jeremy asked still normally without any suspicion.


" Can you call Dusk? I have not been on my phone since!


" I don't know. I haven't called Dusk today! answer Jeremy. His heart began to worry.


" It's not usual that he turns off his phone. And somehow suddenly my heart became restless.! said Zein.


" If so we look at home first. Who knows if you need help! said Jeremy.


" Yes fine. We'll meet at home! reply Zein.


The two of them immediately left their offices. Because for them the safety of Dusk is the most important. Dusk is their life and death.
