Memories of Dusk
A challenge

The sound of bells ringing signifies the end of school today. Liana and I walked out of class and went home. Today Liana and I are going to study together as we have a task to complete. I'd rather go home by public transport than have to be picked up every day. Even though mom and dad like to get angry if I ride in public transportation, but I can assure them that I will be fine. They're so worried about me! Well, naturally I am their only child.

“Son! Come up.” invite Liana who has stopped angkot.

“Ha Yes Li,” says.

“What is our duty son! Do you know the same job?” liana asked innocently to me.

“Well we'll do it together, you'll have to run! Don't me all who know Liana.” said I was excited by Liana's words.

“Ihh you! I'll invite you to study together because I don't understand, how the hell!!” liana said with an annoyed face.

“Terus?” I said with a furious face.

“Come donkk Son! Pokonya you have to find the answer.” said Liana who forced.

“Malaaasssssssss!!!!” my answer.

“Sonya beautiful deh,” persuade Liana.

“Gak mempan!” answer me with a joke.

“Tomorrow I will eat deh,” said Liana with a small smile on her lips.

“Nahhh gituu donkkkk...” I said with a sweet smile to Liana.

“Soal eat only you number one.” said Liana with ketus.

“What?! You said whata?!!” I said while looking into Liana's eyes.

“Hehee doesn't kog Sonya! I was wrong to say.” said Liana with a forced smile.

“Eehh eehh sir stop!! Move sir!” say I'm the furore.

“Well far from your home.” said Liana.

“Yes because of you anyway!” I replied with an annoyed face while descending from the angkot.

Liana and I always argue in every way, but we love each other. For me Liana is a very good friend and has always been there for me. Liana is also like me she has never known the name love, but the reason is different from me. If Liana is not ready for a broken heart he said..

**** 

“Duhh is so tired! Because of you Li!” I said with annoyance and immediately sat on the sofa when I got home.

“Kog me sighh?” liana.

“So who? Ghost!” I said with anger.

“Great temper! Fast old new tau.” said Liana in a slow tone.

“Eeh you old tuu!” I answered with an angry face.

“Udah ah Son tired of debate! Learn to let me quickly run.” invite Liana to end our debate.

“Bent in. I'll get a drink first! What are you thirsty for?” I asked Liana.

“What a good friend I iniiiii.” said Liana with a sweet smile.

I went into the house and looked for this…..

“Bkkk, Bik Inah..” I said with a small shout.

“Iya neng Sonya, sorry bibik again in the kitchen earlier.” said bik Inah.

“Iya tidk nothing bik!” I said as I opened the fridge looking for water.

“What did you call me?” ask bik inah.

“I want to ask for help yah bik entar masakin something! You have Liana tuhhh in front.” I said.

“Oh yes neng, entar bibik masakin yah.” says bik inah.

I walked in the guest room to give Liana a drink and after that we immediately started working on our duties.

“Sonn! Suntuk nihhh..” Liana told me.

“Asih, boring also ngerjain kayak gini.” connect me to Liana's words.

“Tasks are done, play to yukk park.” with Liana.

“By also your idea, smart tumben!” I said with a pat on Liana's shoulder.

“Kan abis you love to eat earlier! So still smooth brain hehe..” said Liana while laughing.

“Ayooo we're out now, afternoon hunt.” take me to Liana.

We walked together to the park. Coincidentally near the house there is a pretty beautiful garden to visit. While traveling to the park Liana and I saw a stranger like we had seen before.

“Dimasss!!” liana said strongly.

Dimas looked at us and walked towards where we were standing.

“What are you doing on this road?” ask Dimas.

“That house? That's my house! Just a day ago I moved here." replied Dimas.

I was silent and did not expect that it turned out that Dimas was my neighbor and also my schoolmate. Strange I think. Why did I just find out.

“I know, you're my neighbor. Your home is right next to my house,” continued Dimas back.

“Wahh did not expect yes it turns out you are neighbors.” said Liana.

“Oh yes, I don't know if we have neighbors!” I said by looking at Dimas's face.

“Where are you going?” ask Dimas.

“Mauu taman,” Liana replied.

“Oh be careful yes.” said Dimas with a small smile.

“So much attention we.aaaaaa.." said Liana with a flirtatious smile.

“Eh what the hell are you! Let's go!” I said with annoyance.

I pulled Liana's hand and left while Dimas just smiled at my friend's behavior.

“Sonyaaa.. She cute?” ask Liana.

“What sweet! Acid kali!” I said with a tinge.

“try ajja I married the same he must be our child cantanti-pretty and handsome." said Liana with a smile of her own.

“Then you mah!” I said as I walked away from Liana.

“Sonya wait! You don't really like men, Intar if you like him how?” liana said with a question that made me even more upset.

“Oah I mah!!” I said with a ketus.

“Eh arguablyin so..” said Liana with an annoyed face.

“Udah afternoon, I'm going home. You want to be here?” say me.

“Ihh wait!! I followttt.” said Liana by pulling my hand.

We both walked home and I immediately drove Liana to the market to look for public transportation.

“Bee Sonn..m” said Liana from inside angkot.

“Be careful Liana!” my yelling.

After seeing the angkot that Liana rode away I also walked home because the day was getting darker. Arriving at home I took a shower and immediately rest because it felt very tiring today.

****

I slept so much that the sound of chickens started crowing and the alarm from my phone also rang indicating it was 05:00 in the morning. I got out of bed and took a shower and prayed at dawn. As usual I left for school at 06:30 so as not to get stuck on the road. I arrived at school at about 7 in less than 5 minutes and headed straight to class. But there was someone who stopped my steps at that moment.

“Sonya wait!” call Dimas from a distance.

“What's up?” I asked with a cake.

“Can I speak to you for a moment?” ask Dimas to me.

“Iyaa please!” my spoken.

We both walked to a chair and sat there…

“What is Dim?” askaku.

“Can we be friends?” ask Dimas.

“From the first time we knew I already considered you a friend.” I replied.

“No Son, I know where to be friends sincerely and not.” Dimas said.

“You mean?” I'm back at Dimas.

“I want you to accept me as a friend sincerely not with coercion.” Dimas said.

“What is the importance of you being friends with me?” I came back with a question.

“Important! Because you are a different woman. Maybe you can be a good friend to me.” said Dimas.

“What reason should I accept you sincerely as a friend?” ask me.

“Color I can be a good friend to you like Liana.” Dimas replied.

I fell silent and wondered if I should accept Dimas' friendship or if he thought of him as some other friend. But I saw him as being so sincere and wanted to be friends with me..

“Good. If in a week you make me comfortable making friends with you! I'll be your friend. Friends who are always there for you. Like me and Liana.” I said by giving a challenge.

“I accept your challenge!” said Dimas.

“Teettt teeetttttt teeeeetttttttt” entrance bell reads

“Towee!” I said then I went walking to die Dimas

I may present a challenge to Dimas that I think very few people can do. Because no man has been friends with me all this time let alone to make me comfortable. So it's very likely that Dimas will fail and he won't bother me anymore.
