You & Dusk
Panics

(Flashback Part)

In the slightly congested hallway of the campus corridor, Ica limped down while holding a file. He walked with a blank look towards Prof Armin's room, just as he stepped until he stumbled in the end. Shortly before falling his shoulders were held by Ilham who suddenly was behind him.

"lo, it's okay Ca'." Ilham.

"Ilham. I don't papa." reply Ica while taking off the arms of Ilham.

"where are you going?"

"to Prof Armin's room."

"Ca' kok lo puket face anyway?"

"no, no papa."

When Ica again wanted to step up, she could not keep her balance until she staggered and almost fell down if only Ilham could not hold her from behind.

"yes it's anterin lo ya cave."

"no papa, I can be alone."

What afflicts Ica now is not a disease that can be cured by just taking medicine. This is a disease that makes or takes away a person's life, a life that was beautiful changed immediately to dark. This is a heartache, an incurable disease with prolonged indications of upset.

Ica who had been trying to walk normally continued to fail, finally she gave up and received help from Inspiration to hold it while walking.

Slowly Ica walked and Ilham who was beside her tried to help Ica walk not staggering. He held onto Ica's shoulder, while the passerby saw the two of them. Sometimes there are those who assume that they are both lovers, something that has long been desired by Ilham.

Ilham continued to help Ica carefully hold onto the listless looking Ica.

"Ilham."

Inspiration looks ahead.

"Sugar."

"Come." Said Gina who was surprised to see Ica held by Ilham.

"Sugar." Ica said lethargic.

"astaga Ca' Why are you? It hurt?" Gina also approached Ica and replaced Ilham who had previously held Ica.

"oh yes Gin, said you earlier anyone want to talk about it?"

"all will be later. Let me help Ica into Prof Armin's room." Gina looks doubtful.

"yes, that's it."

Gina stepped up while helping Ica while Ilham continued to stay in place with his worried face.

"You hang Ca'." muttered Gina in a light tone."

"yes, what are you talking about Gin?" ask Ica.

"ah no. There is no Ca'." he replied in denial.

Meanwhile, where I am now. Still in a Mall, precisely in a cinema. "how was that movie? No serem? Ask Evelyn.

"hm, that's normal." I said strong-ass.

"normal but screams in fear." he chuckled while laughing.

Almost two hours I was in the theater cinema, so I could be relieved to finally be free from the movie I hated. Apart from that it seems like this time I feel good to be alone with Evelyn. Although he is often ignorant but I like to be with him when watching horror films.

After watching of course we walked to find a cafe to sit for a moment chatting before going home. It's Evelyn's idea, of course I'm not that aggressive about getting her to hang out together.

We also went down to the first floor from the third floor where the cinema is located, he said Evelyn had a subscription cafe on the first floor of this mall that drinks and food is good.

Upon arriving on the first floor, we walked towards the cafe that Evelyn was referring to. When I felt that today was going well, something that made me panic finally happened.

On the first floor of this mall I passed someone. That person was Alfy and his cousin Puput who came from the right direction where Evelyn and I were walking.

At first he didn't see me and I tried to hide myself. Wait, why should I hide myself? Why should I be afraid if Alfy sees me? Isn't he a nobody?

Finally, Puput looked at me and told Alfy about me. Our eyes were looking at us, even though only a glance but Alfy's gaze at that time looked disappointed.

No way, I'm just a geeer. Why was he disappointed? My mind wrestles.

"hey e Fin?" my broom.

Wait a minute, I call her Fina? Not Alfy?

"Arman." The reply sounded heavy.
