You & Dusk
Cowardly

(Flashback Part)

Hearing Riyal's submission made me upset. I'm not stopping to think about what's going to happen to me when Riyal is really with Alfy.

Busy with that thought, for a moment I thought of Inspiration. I'd better call Ilham because I haven't spoken to him in a long time. I took the smartphone and tried to call her "yes, hello.. Man, tumben nelfon?" Ilham.

"hello Ham.. No papa, there's more time for the nelfon." I said.

"how are you?"

"alhamdulilah Ham's.. Good but no longer healthy."

"that is. You sick? Ask Inspiration.

In a joking tone I told her all the events when I was stabbed. But maybe because now I've done nothing of the unexpected response of Inspiration. "hahaha.. How does Man feel in a prick? Good no?" said meledek.

"c***.. Haha even sneered." I reply.

"eat it if you want to be a hero first go to hero school there."

"haha.. Is there?"

"there is nothing." he said with a laugh.

"btw don't tell my mama well, you'll know how her mama looks like."

"ok it.. When are you coming back?"

"next week.. God willing Ham."

"don't forget that."

"what the fuck?"

"paan yes.. Give it away."

"yes.. How about Ica? Are you feeling the feelings?" ask me.

"no Man. I guess you can't.

Saying a brief inspiration.

I cannot blame Ilham for his ability to express feelings to Ica, because I am the same as Ilham. I also like someone but do not know what to express feelings to him that I like.

Sometimes being that guy can be this difficult. For example, women have given the code many times, but men are not insensitive just them and so I do not know what to do until finally miscommunication and heartache.

Ilham then closed his phone, now he was on campus. Of course because 2 more days of lectures have begun to be active, today the campus looks crowded again with busy students to take care of their respective study plan cards (KRS).

It is only natural to remember that if KRS is not completed prematurely, then we cannot follow the lecture. Because basically KRS determines the schedule and courses that we will take in each semester. The more courses taken every semester, the sooner we end the college aka get a bachelor's degree.

*two days later.

Today is the first day of the fourth semester, classes that were empty were filled by fellow students. And so did my friends for the first time they got back together. "wess.. How are you, bro?" ilham said to Wahid who approached him in the cafeteria.

"alhamdulillah bro.. Hi Gin." Reply Wahid while greeting Gina.

"hi Wahid's. Just cool you." Gina praised.

"so am I." Adi said.

"huhhh.." reply Gina

"eh how is Arman. Didn't you come back?" ask Wahid

"he said tomorrow inshaallah.. I don't know Arman yet." Respond to Ilham who then explained my situation to them.

Ilham told the story that happened to me in Malaysia to the three of them. Of course the reaction is different, Adi like Ilham only laughs considering my behavior like a hero of misfortune while Gina because she is a woman is certainly worried and Wahid because she is an idealist, he praised what I was doing and was a little worried about the injuries I was getting.

But because they know I'm okay at last they're not so worried about my current situation. "by the way Ica not nongol ya from earlier." Adi said.

"so she said again otw." replied Gina.

While busy talking, Irwan comes to them. "hi y'all." Irwan tried to say hello.

"did you see Ica, didn't you?" ask Irwan.

"no, bro, we haven't seen him yet." Reply Adi.

"ohh that's yeah.. Yes, if he comes please tell me. I'm looking for him." Irwan said then left.

"what's wrong with Irwan nyariin Ica. It's not like the two of them fight a lot in class." Said Wahid who didn't know the problem all along.

"ask the same Inspiration.. That ugly face from earlier saw Irwan coming." Reply Gina

"huh.. What's up?" wahid was curious.

"what are these rumors? How I missed it." Follow Adi who is also curious.

"males cave story. Ask Gina just like that." Ilham.

Gina also shared the closeness of Irwan and Ica during the college holidays last semester.

"ohh pantes by nyariin." Said Wahid who has understood the problem.

"it's basically a playboy.. In addition to the look that supports it so digelunjak." Adi said.

"trus how are you Ham? Don't you like Ica?" ask Wahid.

"bodo.. Now who's the cave that wants to keep Ica close to anyone." Inspiration Reply.

"you're not going to shoot Ica. Let him know. The kids know that you shot him all this time just messing around. That's why Ica nolak, try to show that you are serious." Reply Adi tried to advise.

"it's not that easy, bro." Inspiration Reply.

When talking about Ica, before long the person in question finally came. "hi all sorry nih.. Just come in." Ica said the new one came to greet everyone.

"hi Ca's'.. Masayallah.. Just be beautiful." Wahid.

"hi Ca's... He said Ilham likes you Ca, don't you want to be with him?" adi said in a joking tone.

"haha.. paan anyway?" reply Ica.

"tadi Irwan nyariin tuh." Inspiration.

"Irwanese.. Oh yeah, this is the WA reply." Ica Reply.

"what is your relationship with Irwan?" ask Gina.

"huh.. There's nothing. Just a minute." he replied with a suspicious smile.

"Ca' You want to be a cave girlfriend?" imham said spontaneously with the look of his face tense.

"no.." replied Ica while removing her hands and sticking her tongue out at Ilham to joke.

"serious cave Ca.." Answer Ilham trying to convince.

"paan sih Ham's.. Not funny." The Ica began to grow.

"Ca'.. Look at the cave face.. Serious cave." Say Ilham Once again trying to convince.

"paan anyway.. Badmood. Already ah. I met Irwan first." Said Ica leaving them housed.

"you see for yourself. The cave has been rejected raw." Saying Inspiration to Wahid, Adi and Gina vent their frustration.

"how could you not refuse to face Ham." Reply Gina cengengesan

"yes, Ham.. There are still many girls on this campus. For example, the single Gina.. Haha." Adi said.

"heh you're so rude yeah." Reply Gina.

"yo Wes is Ham. The spirit continues not because of your girl so upset. Keep the barrel." Wahid said.

Because it was time, they finally entered the class. As before, because this first meeting seen friends who just met face to face again greet each other after two months more semester holiday did not meet.
