You & Dusk
Their Small Promise

"shoot? No? Shoot it? No? Shoot it? No?" but, Ilham tried to convince himself.

On the road, in a car. Inspiration with a stiff face trying to make himself dare to admit feelings to Ica. Not with the usual jokes that end in rejection. But this time he wanted to express a feeling that he had long been craving and he believed that Ica was the holder of the white beaded bracelet that he had been looking for.

Ica who was buying water and some snacks and then back in the car. "yuk Ham." Ica.

Nervous and confused inspiration where to start. He continued to steal a glance at Ica while occasionally trying to speak.

"Why Ham? It's so weird today."

"no papa. Hehe."

"oh yeah, here's the coffee drink you asked for."

"yes, thanks Ca'."

For several months now, Ilham has often been a personal driver of Ica. And their closeness is increasingly becoming more and more just that Inspiration does not know where to start this serious conversation.

"e Ca'."

"yes Ham."

"e.. Anu's.. What's your thesis?"

"well, you know. How is that?"

"oh yeah yeah.. Hehe. Forgot." said Ilham dazed.

"uh Ilham, how is your research?"

"yes this is again while being taken care of."

"yes.. Watch out, don't play first. I just want us to graduate together."

"uh uh? Which is actually Ca', so I want you to graduate with bereng ama gua." said Ilham.

"eh don't ge'er. Hahaha I mean the same with the other guys. Answer Ica laugh.

" yes it is.. Cyrain. It's also spirit."

"that's.basic.."

"how not ge'er. You know yourself the cave likes you" said Ilham unconsciously.

Although Ilham had repeatedly admitted and said the word but Ica considered that Ilham was only joking and responded with jokes anyway. And Ilham knew it, but to speak the word like seriously Ilham was not able.

An endless circle built by each ego. For some reason, Ica was actually comfortable close to Ilham but she seemed deaf to half-confession from Inspiration. He was actually waiting for Ilham to take out all his heart with a serious look before Ica.

Arriving at the campus, the two of them were trapped in an egopun circle down from the car.

"wrong at the Ca' campus'?"

"you'll see Prof Armin. You wait for me, yeah."

"ok my boss."

Ica also left Ilham alone to go to the Lecturer's room. While Ilham walked to the campus cafeteria where his favorite time to spend if not in college.

In the cafeteria Ilham accidentally met Gina. "it was.. Gin. Alone." by yourself."

"Ilham. Yes. Again waiting for Ms. Ariana to finish because she wants the guidance of the thesis." replied Gina

"ohs.. Where's your boyfriend?"

"hm.. From the way he answered.. You fighting with Adi again?" ask Ilham.

"you ah.."

"ok, the cave says yes."

Women if again fight with his girlfriend must be easy to find out, what else if his girlfriend is often a taxi driver and suddenly one time does not mind her girl there must be a problem again.

"oh yeah.. The cave with Ica."

"oh yeah.. Where's he going?"

"he said he wanted to see Prof Armin."

"oh that. Are you the same as Ica?"

"boro-boro made up, by the way like it in the sangkain becanda" said Ilham.

"your face is like a comedian. Haha." - Gina.

"buset dah. ngatain instead."

"uh but seriously. What the hell do you like about Ica?" ask Gina.

"what yes, probably because of the cave***** times well. Gua has loved Ica since she was a child."

"that's all?"

"yes.. I don't know why the promise that the cave made was the same when the small cave continues to grow until now. Although Ica does not want the same cave."

"how can you be sure that Ica is the little girl you're looking for."

"hm.. Uh jerks.. How do you know about this story?"

"Arman told the story."

"wahs.. Armani.. Bucket's his mouth, too."

"don't get Arman wrong. He told me about the other kids at that time the same as you who keep chasing Ica." Gina Clear.

"it's good that you know the story."

"Ilham, what if that little girl you're looking for isn't Ica?" ask Gina seriously.

"gua sure.. You see, the cave has seen him wear a white bracelet, the same model as the cave uses." The word Ilham shows the bracelet he uses on his left hand.

Since walking together with Ica, Ilham always wears a black beaded bracelet that Ica gave him when he was a child. Even so Ica never remembered or said anything about the bracelet or even used the same beaded bracelet as Ilham wherever they went.

But it did not dispel Inspiration's belief that the little girl who made a promise to him as a child was Ica.

"dad.. Although the cave is wrong Gin, but it seems like the cave has already been in love with Ica." said Ilham.

"it's good that that's it. I can calm down. I went to Ariana's mother's room first. I think he's done with it."

"okay.. Careful."

Gina walked away from Inspiration, with a bit of uneasiness she kept walking. Ariana's mother was right in front of her but somehow she just kept walking.. Soon tears were on her cheeks.
