You & Dusk
Time

For them time may pass quickly, but for me it all passes as it should. I am well aware of the times I have been through, laughter, crying, happy, sad, hurt, happy and all the feelings that accompany me to this day. I went through it all consciously, it's just time made it all seem like it ended quickly.

Why is it that when time runs out, people think so? That's because we don't want the memories that have been assembled to stop instantly. We do not want, habits and togetherness that have been established stop here alone, although not completely stopped but the situation becomes different from before.

It is very difficult indeed but inevitably we must be ready for things that will definitely pass because time continues to run, because time continues to change.

I still can't believe the last time I was here with them. When I feel like everything will be fine if today comes but it ends instead. The time that came this time really gave distance to all of us, gave distance to me with my close friends, gave distance to me with someone I loved.

I kept pondering over this, I stared at the ceiling of my house. I close my eyes and remember what happened with them. My mind was stunned to feel that fate was indeed not on my side. The Lord's trials on me this time were so heavy, I thought I couldn't get through this.

Since then.. Everything turned awkward. Our friendship must end..

Tomorrow is a big day, but I feel sad even though I should be happy because tomorrow is the day I will be at graduation. It was a sign that I had completed my studies at the University, as well as a sign that I was going to leave the campus world and part with my friends.

Dispart.. Completely separated even before tomorrow arrived we had completely separated. We've never been together since that misunderstanding. The distance created by the incident is very wide, while their egos are very large. I still meet, but it's a separate meeting. If we meet accidentally, we still say hello to each other. Ica and Ilham seemed to be happy to love each other, Adi did not want to see them again, Wahid and I tried to be neutral and often counseled despite the result is nil, while Gina never saw him again.

Meanwhile, the one in love never realizes. Tired of waiting, wanting to end but unable to. This endless wait will one day be achieved?

While contemplating, my mother called out from the living room. I opened my eyes, trying to fight the negative thoughts in my head. I came out to see the noise that was heard in the living room.

It turned out that the commotion was caused by an unexpected guest and they were Ivan and his parents.

"this is Arman.. Gee.. It's been great." Ivan's father told me.

I approached them and greeted them politely. I was once a part of their lives when I was a kid. Even when my family was in financial trouble, Ivan's father generously helped my family. I respect them both as much as I respect my parents.

Of course, since I hadn't seen all of us for a long time, my mother and Ivan and his family had a long conversation. Just asking for news and busyness and talking about my father. Ivan already knew that my father died but he didn't know how my father died. Same with his mom and dad.

After a long time without meeting, at least tonight we rejoice to remember the past. Moreover, Ivan's mother who seems to have made peace with the decision of her son who converted and will soon marry his female worshipers.

In addition to the reason for Ivan's graduation, Ivan's parents came to Indonesia also because it coincided with the day that officially Ivan's family would propose Yana after the graduation ceremony ended. The meeting of the two families will take place in the afternoon, it seems Ivan wants to invite me and my mother to join the application.

But it looks like my mother can't leave because of urgent business. And me, though, at first I probably won't be able to leave because of the promise I made with my close friends on campus but the current distance is very far and the promise is not going to be fulfilled. I finally agreed to the invitation from Ivan's family to come to the event. Anyhow tomorrow will be a great day for Ivan, at least as a friend or friend I can accompany him. No. gabe.. Not as a friend and a friend, as a brother..

Ivan took me out of the living room, on the porch we sat down and talked about something. While my mother and Ivan's parents still miss each other after years of not meeting.

Ivan looked at me and smiled.

"Man's.. I'm glad I got to know you. Thanks to you I can know this religion." Her speech.

"You should thank your future wife.. Weren't you curious about Islam because you want to be close to it." I replied while laughing lightly.

"Yes you're right.. But if it wasn't for you telling me to read the Qur'an, maybe my intentions would have been different.. And I won't be like now." he said.

I can understand, many times I told Ivan.. I do not believe in him who can learn religion quickly. Even.. If I'm to be honest, I'm far from being compared to Ivan.

Ivan looked emotional, he hugged because we were going to part again after this. Just like we used to be when we were kids, separated by distance.. Ivan is going to America to continue his studies.

Even though he's coming back to get married.. But it feels sad also if I have to lose a friend who I consider a brother.

"Oh yes.. I don't want to know. Tomorrow you must come. I'll meet you with Yana." Prattling
