You & Dusk
Pink Fana

I can't stop thinking everything just happened, now the distance between the two of them is getting further and further. What happened in the last year of my school years was repeated in the last year of my studies. It has been 2 months since then, when Ilham told of a fatal misunderstanding that occurred between him, Gina and Adi.

Now their distance was widening, not only Adi but Gina from then on never appeared before me again. Even met impertinently he even avoided. Not only avoiding Inspiration but also avoiding me and his best friend Ica.

Ilham and Ica finally made it, I didn't know it was happy news or vice versa. It seems that Ilham has really been wrong in judging, but in fact he followed the mistake and persisted until finally managed to get the person he loved. Since they officially dated, Ica never saw Gina again.

Initially heavy.. Yes, that is what Ica feels, must choose between love and friends. But Ica has really felt the sincerity of Inspiration, especially since Inspiration saved her in the flames.

Unlike Gina who avoids all of us, it seems Adi is still willing to say hello and just chat with me. It's just that if I learn a little about the problem of Inspiration, then he will immediately be upset and avoid the discussion even though I have explained about the misunderstanding that occurred.

Adi is stubborn, if he has believed one thing then it is very difficult to tear down his ego wall. Wahid who also knows this as much as possible is neutral by still maintaining good relations with all of them. Although Wahid was upset with the fight that happened but still he could not do anything like me.

During these 2 months, a lot of things happened. For example, Ica who has completed her script exam and now just wait for her graduation time. After Ica some other class friends have also completed the script exam, not least Adi and Gina. They have exams and just wait for graduation to be carried out 2 months from now.

While I was still struggling with the revision of the results and still under the guidance of Mr. Adnan one of my script guidance counselors. Ilham is also still busy completing his research, although his days are now more colorful because Ica is always beside him.

Even Ilham had already pocketed the blessing of Ica's parents, it seems that Ilham managed to attract the hearts of Ica's parents thanks to his saving dedication and continued to be near Ica during the treatment and mental recovery period.

My days were heavy, I was dizzy with the thesis, dizzy with broken friendships and dizzy because the woman I loved had not yet remembered me. What's more in these 2 months I've never met her at all.

While Ivan is currently in Japan, he also has thesis exam and just waiting for graduation time to be held 2 months ahead. Ivan is busy preparing everything for further studies in America, besides that he is also preparing to apply for his female puja right after graduation. Although they did not immediately get married because Ivan said, Yana was not able to complete her studies because she had time off the semester so she had to change the semester and could only finish next year.

After proposing to his women, he will fly directly to America to continue his studies and one year later he returned to Indonesia to marry Yana.

Looks like Ivan has been planning his future well. And so did my other friends, and I didn't know what to do after college, maybe just find a job and.. Marry her.

Just thinking about it makes me upset, I feel like I want to turn the clock around. I never thought that the one who ruined my life was my real brother Alfy. I've tried to forget the wound but it's hard, if the memory comes back it feels like it's driving my anger up, but I don't know who to be mad at.

The afternoon breeze helped to lighten my mind after the heat of thinking things that had turned bad could have been even worse. I kept staring at the afternoon sky at my favorite spot, on a beach in a wooden dock waiting for dusk.

Only the twilight of the moment can comfort me from the many problems I have. The love.. This one simple word can create a variety of problems at once. Making a heart mess even destroys friendship.

The love.. One word that brings happiness is also hate and sadness. Unfortunately I am not as lucky as people who get happiness from love, which I can just the opposite.

I still look up at the sky.. The sky then began to change, something different with twilight today. The color is not orange as usual, more looks pink, what might I see wrong but looks very beautiful.

"is there anything more beautiful than this." I murmured as I looked at the twilight.

"Assynoltomodel.."

I heard someone say something, as I turned to the source of the voice. Now the answer to my question is answered.

"Fina.." I said I saw it.

"Arman." she smiled faintly.

"what are you doing here?"

"i like being here, of course to see that" he pointed to the sky.

"hah, twilight."

"if Arman is here what?"

"e.. No, it's just a coincidence that I'm here." I laughed lightly.

He then stood beside me while looking at the pink sky.

"Fine.."

I think it's time I said this. Anybody knows he can remember me back, remember what happened between us and remember how he felt about me.

"do you not remember your past?" many doubt.

He turned to look at me, then looked back at the sky.

"no.. When I try to remember what happened, it's like something's in my way. Sometimes my memory comes out faint and there I see my friends and I see Arman too."

"huh.. Seen me?"

"yes, but I'm not sure... Is.. We're both involved in something?" ask Alfy suddenly.

I was surprised by the question, my lips stiffly unable to answer.

"e.. Excuse me.. Excuse me.. Forget it." he said looking embarrassed.

"uh, no.. E.. Long ago.. We're.."

I'm not done talking.

"i wish in my lost memory we were just friends. Good friend." she said with a sweet smile.

I fell silent again, does that mean he wishes we were just ordinary friends. After what I went through, did he just expect it. Did he forget or pretend to forget?

"Arman likes twilight?" suddenly tanyanya.

"uh.. Twilight.."

"if I like it so much.. I don't know since when, it's just that if I see twilight I feel happy. Although it was a moment but the warmth made me miss something."

Looks like Alfy completely forgot the memory because the Alfy I know likes the sunrise, not the sunset.

"masyaallah.beautiful.." he said seeing the twilight.

"dusk is opium, just like you. It's a pity it's just a little while, after it sets, then it's all gone. Like you.." I muttered.

"Why?"

"uh, no.. No. gabe.. I'm talking to myself."

"then I go home first" he said.

"but.. The sun has not yet set completely." I reply.

"yes.. But that's enough. Then both feel good until maghrib like this. Then I'll say goodbye. Assalamualaikum.." she stepped away.

"Alfy.. Can I reach you? Wh why? Why is fate so cruel to bring us together like this." I muttered to see him move away.

I still see his back.. The further he walked, the more impossible it was for me to reach him. I fell in love with her.. L'm.. Loving her.
