You & Dusk
Love Virus

(Flashback Part)

Today I will go to college, after getting ready I also leave the house with a passionate heart. I turned on the bike and started driving towards the campus. It feels like the weather is good today, as good as my flowering heart.

Usually if the road is solid like this I will complain but this morning it feels different, the density of the road does not make me stop smiling, just keep smiling while imagining the beautiful dreams I want to achieve.

Arriving at the campus I went straight to the SME Scientific Reasoning secretariat. This morning I have no lecture schedule only there is a meeting schedule of the committee for the preparation of the Inter-School Scientific competition held by my campus SMEs. I am a member of SMEs in believe to be one of the role models.

I am in the equipment division, with me there are 4 more people in this division and this morning we will have a meeting to discuss the equipment for the event later. Starting from the parking lot to the SME secretariat I unceasingly continued to smile, after arriving at the secretariat I also entered to follow the meeting. “sorry late.” said.

“gak papa's.. Just sit. Customize well.” Said Roid one of my friends in this SME, who happened to be the chairman of the committee for the event that will be carried out later. “hi Arman.” Said greeting.

“hi Fy.” reply me smile.

This is the source of my happiness from earlier, I had thought that I would be intense to meet with Alfy because we were a bit of a panic. Alfy serves as the committee's current treasurer for this event. Thinking that we would meet often during the event's preparations until it was over made me keep smiling and occasionally laugh at myself. Maybe if anyone notices me, I'll be stamped crazy, but that's love. We wouldn't know if we weren't in love.

Almost an hour we had a coordination meeting, finally because some of our friends had to go to college, the meeting was delayed and continued in the afternoon because there was still an important discussion that was not finished. One who is currently in college is Alfy, it makes me a little disappointed because I can not talk to him like my thoughts since leaving home to campus.

I was confused what to do, if I decided to go home maybe I will not come to the meeting later in the afternoon so I finally decided to be on campus with other SME friends. Some are discussing, some are playing PS (Playstation). Had I told my other friends but it seems that Arman et al are not in college because today there is no schedule of lectures. “kamu Arman right?” said a woman walking beside me.

“iya... Naya.” I glanced at the woman.

“hey.. You remember yah.” Said Naya.

“where might I forget. Hehe.”

“iya what's the same with Fina, right?” tease.

“Eh.. Hehe... By the way you are here what need?” ask me to change the subject.

“I want to see Roid, because there is something I want to discuss with him.”

“Roid? Forestry Child? ”

“iyaa.”

“means you are from dong departure huh?” I said.

“iyaa.” The answer.

“orang utan dong. Hehe.” I said kidding.

“enak aja you.” Reply with a light laugh.

“sorry Nay, Old.” Said Roid approaching.

“iya no papa. Then Arman we go first.” Naya said as she moved away.

I think they both fit in, maybe one more love story between class mates. Love stories on campus are indeed a lot of bloom among fellow majors or at least fellow Faculty. There are also cross majors but met by SMEs Campus like I like Alfy even though until now I still have not told my feelings to him.

Time passed and dhuhurpun arrived, I stepped foot into the mosque which was not far from the campus SME secretariat. Something I rarely do, which is to pray at the beginning of time because usually I will procrastinate and finally pray at the end of time.

The last few days I tried to change my habits, this was not separated from Sabri's advice when I met her a few days ago. It is still clear what he said at that time that “It is better to pray it at the beginning of time, because if delayed will arise a sense of laziness until the prayer was neglected.”

He also explained that the many benefits and rewards if performing prayers at the beginning of time what else is done in congregation. My discussion together with Sabri some time ago opened my heart a little about the importance of religious education for self-greatness.

Then after I performed the prayer I rushed to the canteen of my Faculty. At least if I had lunch there maybe I'd meet my classmate. And sure enough, when I arrived, I saw Ica enjoying her own lunch. “hi Ca’.” I said hello.

“Arman.” A little twekajut

“can join gak.”

“iya yes. Sit aja.”

“you have a lecture yes Ca’?” my many.

“iya just finished earlier.” answer

“just here, another friend where?”

“don't know.. The two were here with Irwan, but he said he had business so go to it.” The word Ica explains the situation.

“iya.. Why Man?”

“gak papa.”

“Man you don't like well I deket same Irwan?” ask Ica suddenly.

“not what Ca’ is. I don't want you to be so sad.”

“i also confused Man. It's just that close to Irwan I feel happy.” Ica Clear.

“I'm glad you're happy Ca’, but on the other hand I'm worried too. I care about you Ca’, you are one of my best friends and if anyone plays with your feelings, I do not accept aja.” My answer.

“thank Man.”

The conversation continued when I saw Ica in the middle of a hug with Irwan under dusk. I saw the two of them very close, when Ica saw me she spontaneously released Irwan's embrace from him. At that time Irwan also looked at me and then Irwan held Ica's hand and then left me without saying a word.

I remember clearly when he walked past me bowed and I didn't know what to say. Ica said that at that time she did not know what to do and said what to me, she could only follow the words of Irwan who told her to leave me. Ica also made it clear the relationship between her and Irwan that at that time they were officially dating.

Ica further said after the incident at the cafe a month ago, where at that time Ica was flush with Ice Chocolate by a woman who claimed to be Irwan's girlfriend. From there Ica determined that she no longer wanted to meet Irwan but in fact Ica lost with her heart.

Irwan was still approaching Ica since the incident and finally Irwan invited her to date. At first Ica hesitated but again because of the fragility of the feeling then Ica accepted it. To this day they are still dating.

Hearing that I don't know what else to say, it's true that a virus called love is dangerous if the one who spreads it is not the right person. As a friend I can only support Ica no matter what decision she makes. “Man how would other friends react if I was with Irwan?” Ica says.

“I don't know Ca’, but you haven't told them?”

“ currently know new Gina and you Man.”

“if Wahid is certainly not too dizzy, maybe for Adi will be a little angry especially Ilham.” I said.

“I can't hide my feelings Man. I still want to hang out with you guys but why the hell Ilham hates so much Irwan.” He said a little crying.

“Ca’.. Don't look like that.. We must support you.” I said calm him down.

Ica did not know the feeling of Inspiration to him, in fact Ilham did not hate Irwan but Ilham was jealous of the closeness of the two of them what else they had become. If anyone makes Ilham hate maybe not because of Irwan but because of the cowardly attitude possessed by Ilham who can not be honest with Ica.

Ica was still down, looking sad with the situation she was thinking about at this time. I tried to keep her calm, I held her hand so she could calm herself from her worries. “Arman..” said.

I looked to my left side, because I heard someone calling my name.

“Alfy.. ALFYY..” I said in surprise while releasing my hand from Ica's.

“coincidentally well.” says Alfy sounds awkward.

“ka.. Ye.. Why is Fy?” I said failed.

“ini out photocopy of meeting materials briefly afternoon.”

In addition to food and drinks in this cafeteria there are also ATK sellers and photocopies.

“coincidence. Hehe.. This is Ica my major friend. Ca’ this Alfy uh I mean Fina, she's SME Friend.”

Alfy and Ica also shook hands with each other, once again I introduced Alfy to Ica by the name of Fina because it was like that she should be called by many people. “then I went to SME first yah.” Alfy said.

“iya Fy's.. Entar me nmulai.” My reply.

“assalamaicum.” He said away.

“you like well same him?” ask Ica spontaneously.

“iya.. I mean.. Ee why? Why is it suddenly.” Answer nervously.

“you're funny if you're nervous Man.” Ica said while laughing lightly.

Seeing Ica laugh like that I was relieved because at least she did not look moody like before.
