You & Dusk
Forget the Promise

The truth is sometimes different from what was expected. The ego is the only cause that makes the illusion real and again the logic is late to act on the errors caused by the heart. What else is the reality in front of the eyes is very difficult to accept, it feels like to repeat the time and clean up the mistakes that have been made.

Inspiration never thought about what Adi said two days ago. Now he does not know what to do and how their relationship will be.

In the middle of his messy thoughts while driving a car. His smartphone keeps ringing, in the lyrics of the call is Ica. Usually he would swiftly take the call, but this time it didn't seem like it. His mind kept thinking about the woman who had promised him since childhood and she turned out to be Gina.

On this starless night, Ilham decided to meet Gina. He should talk to Gina after what Adi told him 2 days ago. In the depths of his heart Ilham still hoped that everything Adi said was a misunderstanding.

After arriving at one of the housing complexes, Ilham asked the security guard who was in the complex about the residence of Ms. Irma who is the biological sister of Gina. After showing the direction of the house, Ilhampun approached with uneasy feelings.

He was in front of a house with two white floors, a mango tree was seen in front of the house. With a sigh, he finally got down from the car and steeled his intention to talk to Gina.

As if the fence was unlocked, Ilham stepped inside the porch and started knocking on the door. Soon came out a woman who was no stranger to Inspiration.

"Ilham.. What are you doing here?" gina said seeing the coming of Ilham.

Gina herself has no idea what happened between Adi and Ilham. He did not even know the purpose of Ilham's arrival at his home.

"Sugar.. I want to say something to you" he said.

Because Gina happened to be alone in the house and did not want to cause slander, so Gina did not allow Inspiration into the house. They only talked in the available chairs on the porch of the house.

"i made you drink firstwell, what do you want to drink? Black coffee?" ask Gina.

"no need, I'm not thirsty. I'll just go straight ahead." Inspiration looks serious.

"hm.. What do you wanna talk about? That's serious."

I doubt where to start. Finally he reached into the bag of sling bag that he was wearing and took out two beaded bracelets that he snatched from Adi the other day.

"do you know what this is?" tanya Ilham looked at the two bracelets.

Normally, an ordinary person would say that it was a bracelet. But for Gina who currently can't say anything, the bracelet is not just a bracelet. It was a bond of promise he had made with Ilham when they were children. But.. Again the ego makes Gina does not want to admit it.

Quiet and surprised, Gina finally replied to Ilham's question, "it's a bracelet" he said.

Gina was surprised by what she now saw, from where Ilham got the white bracelet, not the one holding the bracelet now was Adi.

"answer honestly, Gin.. Pli. Does this white beaded bracelet really have you?"

Gina hesitantly replied, she did not look into the eyes of Inspiration. If he answered yes, then maybe their friendship would be broken.

"no, it's got Ica." replied Gina heavily.

"no.. You lied to me. After I found out from Adi. The memory of when I was a child is back in sight. And the girl's face was very similar to yours Gin." said Ilham bowed.

Hearing that, unconsciously Gina's tears spilled. He was confused whether these spilled tears were happy tears because Inspiration recognized him or sad tears because the worst possible would happen with their friendship relationship would all be messed up due to misunderstanding these.

"Gin.answer.. Wh why? Why haven't you been honest with me. You know that I have this black bracelet and you just shut up. Have you forgotten our promise first." Ilham.

Gina shut her mouth, couldn't stand what was just revealed. "me.. Not one bit forgets the promise of Inspiration. Who forgot it was you because Ica was the person you were looking for and not me" he said.

"gues.. I've seen Ica wear this bracelet once and I didn't know that you were just minjemin' her."

"you should be able to find out before you conclude anything."

"it's too late, I don't want to be a bully between you and Ica. You better forget that promise." said Gina staring at Ilham filled with tears.

"you think it's that easy.. I love Ica for thinking that she is you.. I´m.. Confused now. Uhh..." Ilham ruffled his hair because he was confused by the situation he was now facing.

Gina stood up, she drew closer to Inspiration. He touched the breast of Inspiration and said." You need not be confused, follow your heart. I'm sure what's in your heart is Ica, not me. I'm just a part of your past"

Inspiration looked at Gina's face. "but Gin.. The girl I've been looking for is you. I'm.."

"Ilham please.. I don't want our friendship to be ruined just because of this."

Meanwhile, at the same time precisely in front of a clontong shop in front of the Campus. Ica who just bought a drink can be seen standing looking at the smartphone screen.

Today he had a discussion with one of his friends on campus about the results of his script research. Until they forget time and finally the sky has been very blackened.

In this place, he was waiting for public transportation, but from earlier standing he did not see public transportation leading to his residence. Today he does not use the motor as usual, because his white matic motor is experiencing damage and must be in the workshop in a few days. Sometimes he calls Ilham but Ilham does not take calls from him and does not read his messages. He also contacted Arman but his number was not active.

Ica was quite agitated considering the day was getting night but she was still in this place. While the people waiting for public transport with him began to go one by one. Finally he decided to use the services of online motorcycle taxi through the application.

About 10 minutes after he ordered Ojol, a pitch-black car approached him. Right in front of him the car stopped, but Ica felt strange because the car she ordered from the application was different from the car currently in front of her. Because of that prejudice, Ica retreated slightly away from the car.

Two steps Ica retreat suddenly the car door was open and swiftly two men of stocky and plain-looking thugs came out and approached Ica. Ica had not had time to react to it, the two men had already held Ica and closed Ica's mouth so as not to shout. Ica was dragged forcibly into the car below leaving the place.

It was too soon to be noticed by the few people who were in that place right now. Someone saw it but didn't care about it and didn't want to get involved.

In the car that turned out to be the air condition Ica was sealed by 4 men of large and sturdy. One man was driving, two men were sitting next to Kira and the right Ica and another man was seen wearing a gold watch was sitting in front next to the man driving.

Back to the place of inspiration at this time. He was staring at the starless sky. Still have not accepted the fact that all this time he has dropped his heart to the wrong woman. Gina is still visibly saddened by the reality and tries to convince Ilham that she should still love Ica.

For Inspiration it is not an easy matter, on the basis of his childhood promise. He chose Ica as the person he should love. Now that little faith was shattered when the woman who exchanged vows with him turned out to be Gina.

"Ilham... Justjust please. Forget it."

"so just like that, promise it's not something that matters to you."

"that's not it, I mean.." Gina's not done talking, Inspiration cuts by saying.

"ohs... So it's just like that Ha.." Sounds like a snarl.

Being in conflict with this, suddenly a message entered the smartphone that is on the table at this time. Keep the smartphone vibrating until Gina sees that the message is a message from Ica.

"Ham.. There's a message coming in from Ica." said Gina.

"gue doesn't care. I love him because I think he's you.. Now what? Huh huh? Can I still love him." Inspiration is still confused by his feelings.

"Ilham.." said Gina while slapping Ilham.

"i told.. Look at your heart. Look at your heart... Who's in your heart now." continued Gina as she pressed down on Ilham's chest.

Inspiration ponders.. For a moment he closed his eyes looking for answers to his current doubts. A moment later for some reason, there was a bad feeling in his mind..

"Ica.." he said restlessly.
