Memories of Dusk
First Meeting and Meeting

The beautiful sun, its bright light woke me from a very deep sleep. Great view of the morning on Sunday. The dewdrop I always felt when I opened the window of my room, my name is Sonya Aditi Putri Atmaja. Very long name, right? Yet so beautiful. I am the only child of my father and mother!! Single child. Actually living as an only child is not good because I always feel alone. No friends vent, no friends quarrel, and no friends can be invited to walk together if the school holidays.

I am 16 years old, I am currently in 2nd grade High School. There are many men who like and chase me, but I do not want to be trapped by love. The reason is because of my parents. I'm the only child of them, and I don't want to let them down if I fail to pursue a career just out of love.

My father was Surya Atmaja and my mother was Ayu Ningsih Natias. Fathers and mothers are always busy with their business and corporate affairs, and every day after school I just sit still, watch television and be accompanied by my maid. I'm tired of all this! But what they can do, they also have to find money in order to continue to give me a higher education. They always say that I can be like them someday.

“Sonyaaaa...” call mom who knocks on my room door slowly.

“Haa ibuuu what's wrong?" answered me from inside the room in a slightly strong tone.

"Let's have breakfast, son," take me.

“Iya mommy in a moment I'm out.” I replied to mom.

Mom left my room. And I immediately rushed to take a shower after that out towards the dining table. My mom and dad always took their holidays for me. Because they know that all this time their togetherness with me was very lacking.

“Good morning dad, Mom..” I said as I pulled up the chair to sit down.

“Good morning dear,” says dad.

“Sonya you are not busy today?” ask mommy.

“No mother, what's up?” I asked back to my mother. I don't usually ask this question to me.

“We want to take you for a walk dear.” connect dad with smile at me.

“Dad, Mother. Sonya again wants to be at home.” I said by refusing their invitation. Today I want to rest at home, and I don't want to leave the house.

“Sonya, not every day dad and mom can take you away,” said mom in a soft tone so I would go with them.

“Mother, Sonya is very tired and wants to rest, last night Sonya will join the organization at school and go home until the afternoon. Sonya apologizes dad, mom.” I said with a sad face and felt guilty for rejecting them.

“Yasudah then we do not go out, you just rest yes dear.” said father while stroking my head.

“Then mom to the kitchen first yes.” said mom who walked away from the dining table. They are good parents and understand the will of their children.

After a few minutes, I went to the kitchen and went ahead to sit back and drink coffee. And I went into the room to rest. I feel very tired and sleepy. But from the outside I heard a noise!

“Dukkk dukk dukkk!!” sound of walls in the shop to install nails. I went out and saw what the real situation of the commotion was. On the front porch of the house I met my father.

“Whispering very well! What's up sigh?” I asked who was curious about Dad.

“That's a new neighbor, who just moved so they sorted out so it's noisy.” replied the father in a slightly slow tone so as not to be heard by the neighbor.

“Ohh fast!!” I said it briefly.

“Why? You can't rest?” ask dad to me.

“Hemm yes sih well, but yasudah it's okay,” said I then left father.

I went into the room to rest. So that tomorrow at school my body back good and excited again.

The afternoon changed and the night changed in the morning. As always, it is Monday and should not be late to come to school because it will hold a flag ceremony. I only took one loaf of bread for me to eat on my way to school. Arriving at school, as usual many men who saw and looked at me then they smiled at me. Sometimes I get confused with their views. So I always ducked when I walked into class.

When I looked down while walking suddenly….

“Braakkkk!!” I accidentally hit someone and all the books I +egang fell scattered on the floor.

“Sorry I did not see earlier.” I said to the man and I immediately quoted all the books scattered.

“No! I'm wrong you don't need to apologize.” said the man very gently.

“I'm sorry, yes,” said I was in a hurry to leave the man.

“Son, why are you?" asked Liana who was curious because she saw my frightened face.

Liana is a friend who sits with me. My friend confided in me in everything. I thought of him as my own brother.

“Haduh Li, you kind of don't know every day I go to class must pass through obstacles like what.” said I with a pretty upset tone.

“Haha risk if you have a beautiful face!” liana said laughing at me.

“I'm ordinary not pretty-beautiful tuh,” said me with a jutek tone.

“Yes you are ordinary, until you can make all the men look at you.” Liana said with a small tap.

“Ihh you are doing so much sih.." said I with a tangled face.

“Oke okeh no, you are a super ordinary woman.” said Liana in a sweet tone and praised me.

“Subahhh!! Uuunnccchh sayangggg..” I said while hugging Liana.

Not long after talking to Liana, the teacher entered the classroom and the lesson began. After the lesson was over we took a break. As usual, Liana and I were looking for food. However, when we've been dikantin there's a different one there. There's someone I've never seen before. Looks like he's the new kid here.

“Liana, try me you've seen him?” I asked Liana while pointing at the man.

“No Son! I just saw it today.” Liana replied in surprise.

“Looks like he's a new kid here Li,” said I was curious.

“It looks like so! I'm hungry so we can eat!” invite Liana by pulling the food that is already available in front of her.

“Iyaaaaa, not very patient lu.” said me with an annoyed face.

While we were enjoying the food, suddenly the man came near us. We were both astonished and looked at each other.

“Hai! How are you doing?” ask the man to me.

“Haa? Meu?” I asked while pointing to myself.

“Iyaaa you..” replied the man.

“I'm good! Who are you anyway?! How are my circumstances?” ask me in a pretty upset tone.

“I who was this morning accidentally hit you.” replied the man.

“Oh kamuu! Yes, I am not kog.” I replied with a smile.

“So we haven't had time to acquaintance! I'm the new kid here! Dimas..” said the man by sticking out his hand.

“Sonya!” I replied by replying to Dimas's hand.

“Beautiful name!” said Dimas who praised my name.

“Thank you!” answer me briefly.

Dimas left us both. I just this time saw a man who is indifferent and does not care about the physicality of others. And not looking at me with an itch like the other men in this school.

“Sonnn! Banging bull!!” liana.

“Udah ihh don't do that! Bring it Geer people againi.” said me with a slightly sloppy tone.

Liana and I continued eating. Actually I was curious about the man earlier, his attitude is quite cold with women. But not a no ! Remember!!!! Don't fall in love with Sonya. I kept thrashing in my heart so I wouldn't feel love for now. Maybe according to some people love in High School is beautiful. But I think that love in High School will ruin everything. I hope I'm not trapped by this love.
