LOVE IN THE ARMS OF DUSK
1

The sound of glass breaking and the unpretentious falling out of the room in a luxurious house in the elite Latusa complex, a middle-aged woman was pounding on the tightly shut door, his eye ornaments had been washed away by tears, his hair that had been neatly arranged was now unraveling in disarray.

“Nak..listen to mom, she is a good and rich person, very rich in fact, why did you reject her?” The mother asked in a hoarse voice, confused by the behavior of her own child, before the engagement took place, her daughter, Nala had agreed not even too care, then why when the event took place Nala changed her mind?

Madam Ajeng tried to hold back her anger, enough already she bore the shame for the actions of her daughter at the engagement party earlier, Nala did not even listen to ‘His fiancee's candidate’ said a word, Nala raged, Nala raged, douse the man with water, smash food, flip tables and chairs like a madman

Silent for a while until Madam Ajeng ventured to open the door with a spare key brought by one of her servants, she painstakingly held back her emotions so as not to scream, but all in vain, he screamed in fear when he saw the only daughter of the Daniar family packing her clothes into a large suitcase.

“Nak!”

Nala's hand was pulled until the clothes in the suitcase fell on the floor, broken glass scattered everywhere, making her reluctant to take the clothes, the suitcase was thrown into the wall.

“Mommy is so happy, match me with an old man!” Nala raised her voice, her eyes lit up with emotion, jerking off the hand her mother was holding rough

“I even just graduated college! There are so many things I want to do! Why are you so brave!”

“Nala listen to mom first”

“Sekaya whatever old man it is I don't want!” Nala took her wallet on the mattress “ It's better I die than marry the old man!”

Disappointed, since the beginning he did not care much about this engagement, he thought his future fiancee was a rich and handsome businessman like the main character in the romance novel he read, he thought, not an old man whose hair is gray, it is better he is with his lover, Angga, although not yet working but his lover is the prospective leader of the company owned by his parents

“NALA!” The voice of the father, Mr. Prabu, appeared with a dead red face, he approached and slapped his daughter to the ground

“You realize what you've done! Your actions put the Daniar family to shame!”

Nala fell down, her hands were scratched by broken glass and bloody, she grimaced stifled, her eyes were staring at her father fiercely, Madam Ajeng directly embracing her daughter

“Then why!? Hit it! Just hit me!”

“NALA!!”

Mr. Prabu held his hand in the air, rubbed his face, and sat on the bed, he let out a desperate sigh

“I have promised Mr. Fatih to marry my daughter, there is no way I will deny it!”

Nala is the only daughter in the Daniar family, Mr. Prabu is the owner of the property company ‘Daniar grup’ which is quite successful, to expand his business Mr. Prabu often gets financial assistance from Mr. Fatih, owners of Axa group, which has many branches of business everywhere

Mr. Prabu promised to betroth his daughter to Mr. Fatih, with the intention of expanding his business, the man was not old, his age had just entered the head of three, he said, but his face was indeed extravagant and his appearance seemed stiff and old-fashioned, the rest he was a friendly and light-handed rich man

“Now we have to how? Master Fatih must be furious! “

The rich man was drenched in a water flush, his party was destroyed, humiliated in front of the hundreds of important guests present, although Mr. Prabu apologized repeatedly to prostrate himself, the man's face was dark, looking furious

“you must apologize to Mr. Fatih! Your marriage will be accelerated!”

Mr. Prabu was about to move out of the room, but the screams of the wife stopped him, Nala rebelled and almost jumped into the window of her room on the fifth floor, fortunately Madam Ajeng quickly caught her hand, then hugged her tightly

Be stubborn! That is what can be described from this figure of father and son, each maintaining an ego, no one giving in

“Better I just die!” Nala said with trembling hands, she was frightened, but still recklessly voiced her threat, her feet were already outside the window

“Nala, you are absolutely ..” Mr. Prabu's eyes flashed with anger, dragging Nala away from the window forcibly

“It's enough!”

Madam Ajeng stopped Mr. Prabu's forced efforts, the three of them looked at each other, Nala and Madam Ajeng's faces pale and full of tears. The mother and son hugged under Mr. Prabu's feet

They were silent for a long time in their respective positions, Nala's cry grew more and more, deliberately, so that both parents would melt. Madam Ajeng was silent and thought hard to get a solution to this problem

“We have no other choice, promise is promise.”

“I don't want to!”

“You're Dad's only hope!”

“Nak calm” Madam Ajeng stroking Nala's hair lovingly, looking at her husband coldly “Don't you have one more hope?”

“What are you..” has not had time for Mr. Prabu to finish his words, Mrs Ajeng cut her words fiercely

“That bastard! Why don't we just use it?!”

Mr. Prabu was stunned, not expecting his wife to bring up the old wounds of their household, he fell seated with a blank look, the shadow of an innocent woman carrying a baby flashed in his memory, twenty years have passed

“I don't care! Find and find the girl for her to marry Mr. Fatih!” Said Mrs Ajeng firmly, she got a favorable solution to this problem, not to sacrifice her daughter, but others

“This is the only way to save us”

The illegitimate child in question was the child of Mr. Prabu's affair with his maid twenty years ago, the maid was named Ratna while the child was named Nura, when the child was born into the world, they were banished to a distant and remote place, after which Mr. Prabu had never met Ratna in the least, never even asked how they were doing, completely forgotten

“I can't, it's too.”

“If not, we will go!”

Along with the threat, Madam Ajeng pulled Nala away leaving Mr. Prabu glued to the floor.

The atmosphere of the engagement party between Mr. Fatih and Nala on the first floor of the Daniar family house was chaotic, the servants apologized many times to the invited guests for the bad deeds of their young Miss, who was not involved in the incident, they moved quickly to clean up the mess, one by one the invited guests left the party, a man with some gray hair sat down, and, his hair that was neatly arranged was wet to the black coat that was now trying to be dried by the waiter, he wiped his face with a handkerchief, his look was not happy at all

“Enough, I want to go home!” He said coldly, the servants of the Daniar family hurriedly handed over the black suit

“We are sorry for the actions of the young Miss, Tuan”

The servants bowed deeply, the entire room was silent for a moment

The man did not reply, walked quickly out of the house, inwardly condemned the actions of the Daniar family many times, he stepped into his car parked at the end of the yard, his driver was ready to wait for him

“How's uncle's party?”

The car door opened from the inside, a man smiling broadly at him, his neck clad in a headset connected to a mobile phone, wearing a sky blue t-shirt and shorts and sandals, looks very relaxed

“Tuan Fatih” the man looked down respectfully before entering the car, the man in the car hurriedly put his hand on the lip “Sstt... don't be hard later anyone heard!”

“I'm sorry Sir!”

The man in the car was the real Mr. Fatih Alfandinata, he was young, only twenty-six years old, all this time he was always working behind the scenes, always rely on his secretary to do work outside the office, especially during important meetings and meetings, so many people assume that his secretary is him, the owner of the Axa group

He actually had a reason to do this, his father and mother died when he was fourteen years old, leaving the company leader in a state of emptiness, his father's brothers and mother fight each other for the position, doing dirty things, only his father's secretary is loyal to him, saving him from the family's chaos, making him the legitimate heir to his father's company, and his father's, and for a while the company was led by the secretary until his young master entered adulthood

But Fatih is too comfortable behind the scenes, she always says if the secretary is enough to represent her, and this engagement event is actually the result of her prank idea when looking at Nala's photo

Just look at it he already knows if the woman and the family are duitan eyes

“They family don't know manners!”

His secretary, or commonly called Uncle Zoe, complained, improving his appearance with glass, his partially gray hair was the act of Fatih, no matter what the young master was thinking, he said, made himself for the most part to be ‘Master Fatih’ in the public eye, engaged to the daughter of his business colleague only to find out the girl's reaction

“I've expected him to be surprised by the appearance of old uncle!” Fatih exclaimed cheerfully, as if the thing that had just happened earlier was a small thing, laughing very childishly “But I did not expect him to be that brave as to reject uncle”

“He has humiliated Sir!”

“Akh.. Technically he humiliated uncle!”

“But I was there as Mr Fatih!”

Their silly debates are common, Uncle Zoe knows very well the nature and behavior of Fatih, his master is happy to play around, idle and ignorant, not yet mature at all, he said, but he somehow always served the wishes of Fatih

“I wonder what they will do after this”

“They will definitely not dare to show face for a while” Uncle Zoe glanced at Fatih who was busy with a mobile phone, he was playing a game

“It is not polite at all to play mobile phone when parents are talking!” Fatih pinched her waist by Uncle Zoe's wrath, making the man move dodge

“Ah...Uncle! Uncle is an old man haahahaha” Fatih laughed alone, Uncle Zoe only stroked the chest for Fatih's behavior, although his Master was impressed to make fun of him, but Fatih was a obedient figure, he was a submissive figure, now he has got rid of his phone

“Master can not linger behind the scenes, you should immediately announce yourself as the leader of Axa Group”

This was the third time Uncle Zoe said like that, Fatih just silently listened, the look on his face became serious, lately the company is in stable condition, he said, but her mother and father's siblings repeatedly begin to interfere in her business affairs, waiting for an opportunity like a wolf lurking in prey

“I know, I'll think carefully”

Uncle Zoe simply nodded, amidst the cars driving on the desolate streets, they were silent, preoccupied with their individual thoughts
