Memories of Dusk
That Time of Dusk Just Became A Memorandum

The day I have been waiting for has arrived. Where the same date and month have come. I've been waiting for this day for 4 years. And today I will prove that I am still faithful to the promise made at dusk. And today I will also find out if He is still loyal to me. Or he's found someone else who's right for him.

I tried to contact Dimas with a short message.

“Hey still remember me? Today is the same date and the same month we have been waiting for. I look forward to our meeting after 4 years of separation.” I said through the message.

Half an hour later I got a reply from Dimas.

“Jam 5 pm we meet. In the same place as 4 years ago,” reply Dimas.

“Iya,” reply.

I tried not to be nervous when I met him because after 4 years of separation and now we will meet again to continue our relationship to a more serious stage. I don't know why I feel unhappy. I feel like there will be something really painful about this feeling. I left at 4pm straight after coming home from the office. And at exactly 5pm I got there.

But when I went to the beach, I hadn't seen Dimas coming.

“Hey.. Do you visit here often?” ask the man behind me.

It turned out that the man was Satya. I don't know what kind of coincidence this is, why would Satya be here? What the hell's going on? I still wonder in my heart. Satya's arrival at the Beach really surprised me.

“Satya you...” my number that was interrupted when I saw Dimas coming from a distance.

But there is something strange. Dimas came not alone, he was with a woman.

“Sonya..” call Dimas gently.

“Satya,” says the woman who was with Dimas.

Dimas and the woman stared at each other making me even more confused.

“Dim? Who's she?” ask me about Dimas.

“What do you mean Zarra? What's the matter?” satya spoke to the woman.

This makes me even more confused. Dimas remained silent without an answer. Meanwhile from a distance I saw Liana and Aldi coming simultaneously.

“Dim? Can you answer? Who is this woman?” I said, asking Dimas once more.

“There's something I want to talk to you about Son, and I'll explain everything to you.” Dimas said.

“Iya please, I wait for your explanation.” I said.

“Before I apologize, for the last 3 years without anyone telling you.” said Dimas.

“Yes, because women are the reason, right?!” I said firmly. I was very disappointed, for the first time I felt heartbroken.

“Yes, I beg you to forgive me Son. This woman is someone who accompanied me there as long as I was lonely without you Son. She is my future wife, and we are already planning our wedding,” Dimas said.

Dimas' words kept me quiet without a word. Like lightning striking so strong. This is the promise he made to me. These tears I can control. I don't want to look weak in front of him. I don't want him to think I'm too much of a mistress for him.

“Ohh so this is the reason you asked me to come to this place ra,” Satya said to the woman beside Dimas.

“Listen Sat, I can't afford to be away from you. I'm looking for my escape. At first it was just for fun. But I already love him Sat,” said Zarra woman who stood right next to Dimas.

“Oke Dim, I know what your reasons are. I accept your decision that you prefer to be with him.” I said.

“Son, I'm sorry. Deep in my heart I still love you Son.” said Dimas.

“Love? What love is Dim? What is the use of this ring? What good is the promise you made just under dusk 4 years ago?” I said in a high tone.

“Okey I was wrong. I can't hold myself, I'm sorry.” said Dimas.

“Quite, a man like you does not deserve to apologize from a woman as good as Sonya!” connect Satya who was emotional at that time.

“What do you mean Satya? Why are you being this emotional?” asked Zarra who was astonished to see Satya turned into such rage.

“Sonya is much better than you Ra! Because he is much more maintaining the bond of promise he has made. Even though he knows he will get hurt,” said an angry Satya.

“Eh shut up! You don't know anything about Sonya. Only I know about him,” said Dimas.

“Yes you know him better! But you hurt him, it's the same!” satya.

“I'm sorry Son, I didn't mean to hurt you.” said Dimas.

“I'm sorry you, It's take.I'm giving this back to you,” I said by giving back the ring he gave me 4 years ago.

“No Son, this ring is yours! I gave it to you, please don't give it back.” said Dimas.

“I can't accept this. This ring is proof of your promise Dim, but for what this ring remains in my finger. If all the promises are broken and broken. Like a glass that has fallen and broken into pieces,” I said.

“Son.. Please!” said Dimas, who begged me to keep accepting the ring.

I don't care about Dimas pleading with me. I left the place and instantly all the colors in my face turned dark. That's how he broke that promise. Only for the sake of a woman who had also betrayed her lover.

I sat on the beach and looked at all the memories of that twilight.4 years ago he promised to keep his heart for me. But the evidence doesn't exist. Now the twilight is just a bitter memory that I don't want to remember anymore.

“Son...” call Satya who came to me.

“Do not shed your tears. Women as good as you do not deserve to shed tears,” said Satya who wiped my tears with her fingers.

“Sonya..” call Liana who also came to see me.

“Son, you must be strong. I'm sure there will be a much better man than Dimas who comes for you later.” Aldi said.

“Do you know about this Al?” I asked Aldi.

“Aldi gor anything Son,” says Liana.

“I never knew about Dimas Son's business. All I know is he does love going out to nightclubs, to discos. But I never knew the woman.” Aldi said.

“I did not expect, women who I consider good so far ternayata much lower,” said Satya.

“Hey he did hurt you. But from him you can learn what true loyalty means Sat,”.

“You are so tough Son. If I was in your position maybe I wouldn't be this strong,” Satya said.

“You are also tough like me, but remember you don't get drunk anymore. Your life means so much more than that woman.” I said.

“Haha you still remember that,” Satya said with a laugh.

“Still very much I remember, so donk you laugh.” I said with a smile.

“Thank you Son you are funny... Oh yes, about the drunkenness that lupain aja. I'm ashamed to know! There are your friends here,” said Satya.

“Haha yes sorry. Oya I have to go back first yes, Dad and mom must be worrying about me.” I said.

“Iya Son your father has called me from earlier.” said Liana.

“Tuhh right I first yaa,” said I was in a hurry to leave them.

“Be careful Son,” shouted Liana.

I ran to the taxi I ordered. Arriving in the taxi, I cried with all my emotions. It was foolish of me to trust Dimas' promise too much. I regret all our meetings. I hate all the circumstances of this moment. I'm ruined! I was lost and everything looked so bad in my life.

The twilight painted a lot of memories.

That twilight is a witness! The promise we made.

That twilight is proof that we love each other.

That color is the color of my life.

It instantly turned dark!

Now that twilight is gone in my life.

It was like I had no color in my life anymore.

Now the twilight is just a bitter memory that must be forgotten.

The memories of that twilight will all slowly disappear.
