You & Dusk
Quietest

(Flashback Part)

It's been an hour since Ilham took Ica away from her other friends. Ica patiently tried not to ask, she just kept quiet with her mind seemingly empty.

While Ilham focused on looking at the road, occasionally looking towards Ica who was looking at the road from the car window. An hour they were together and during that time no conversation took place either.

Until Ica turned to Ilham and asked about their purpose.

"in a moment until Ca'." reply Inspiration.

Ica turned back towards the car window, looking outside. What is visible is the expanse of rice fields and the number of trees indicates that they are in the countryside. It seems they have left the city.

The beautiful atmosphere of the village and the cool air make Ica relax. He opened the window and tried to enjoy it. Without pollution, without the scorching heat makes Ica comfortable and she fell asleep.

Soon, Inspiration stopped at a house. Among other houses in the countryside it looks quite luxurious for the size of a house in the countryside. "Ica wake. Ica.." Says Ilham tried to wake Ica.

Ica woke up to the sound of Inspiration. "where is this?" tanyakanya.

"we've arrived, this is my grandmother's house."

"huh, your grandmother's house?"

"yes. Let's get down."

The two of them got out of the car, outside an old woman who was seen cleaning up along with a younger woman looking towards Ilham and Ica.

"Ilham, why are you here? Tumben." said the old woman who looks like Ilham's grandmother.

"yes, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before."

"who is this beautiful woman? Your boyfriend?"

"Sorry grandma, no." Ica spontaneously dodged.

"my friend's mother." Ilham.

Salim to Ilham's grandmother as salim to show respect to the parents. "you want to do something?" ask grandma.

"no grandma. Magrib returned to the city." replied Ilham.

"oh, Mirna please prepare dinner for them." Said Grandma to the woman she was with.

"grandmother, I'm back first."

"yes."

Ilham then took Ica to walk to the back of her grandmother's house. They went through the right side door that was directly connected to the back of the house.

"What are we really doing here?" tanya Ica started to worry.

"it's already come."

Before long they were in the backyard. In the courtyard is seen a road that leads to the forest. Ilham then invited Ica into the forest.

"where are you going? How to get into the woods."

"i'm not gonna do anything about you Ca'. Trust me, yeah."

The two of them stepped back, this time carefully Ilham held Ica's hand so as not to stumble over rocks or fallen tree branches.

Before long, they arrived at a hill high enough. Insham again convinced Ica to climb the hill together. With great difficulty they finally came upon the hill.

The exhausted Ica stepped overwhelmed at once amazed at what she saw. As far as the eye can see, only the color green. Green from the expanse of rice that stretches widely around by the surrounding hills.

The hills are high enough like a fence that fences the rice fields around the area.

Ica looked towards Ilham, with a slight smile Ica turned her eyes back to the vast area of rice fields she saw.

The afternoon breeze that struck the more make the mood better. Wind gusts visible from the South with the movement of rice that has increased. It was like showing a beautiful nature show.

Next to the thought there was a very large old tree, Ilham then invited Ica to stand under the tree. After arriving, the air around the tree feels different, the air is very cool not only makes the body comfortable but the heart becomes comfortable for him.

"this rice field is managed by my grandmother, once a grandfather when she was alive." Ilham.

Ica did not respond, she just looked at Inspiration. But this time his mind became calm because of the atmosphere in that place.

"You know from childhood even now, when I was having trouble. I'm gonna go down here and calm myself down. I hope you can also relax here Ca'."

"thank you Inspiration." reply Ica.

Ica did not respond.

"hm.." Inspiration takes a long breath.

"AAAAHHHHHHH" He cried.

"IIICCAAAA.. I SUUKAA SAMAA KAAMUU." continued Ilham while shouting loudly.

Hearing that Ica laughed a little.

Ilham turned around and saw Ica laughing for the first time after everything she had been through. "You wanna try, come on."

"no papa. I'm just here."

"cad." Inspiration pulled Ica forward a few steps forward.

"no Ham. You are just."

"ayo Ca' try it. Get out your uneg-uneg. Shout out loud."

"i'm embarrassed."

"there's no Ca' here, there's only me with you."

"uh.."

"ayo Ca', get out of there all."

Ica turned around and saw Ilham. He took a step forward and closed his eyes then took a deep breath and finally..

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH." He yelled.

"IIRWAIT, YOU'RE BRREEENNGGSSSEEEKK." she continued while making a loud noise.

"BEENCII, IUU HATE KAMUUU. DAAASAARR BREEENNGGSSSEKKK."

"AAAAHHHHHHHH."

"IIRVAAAN, IIR,.. JUST DIE KAAAAUUU."

"huhh." Ngosan ICO. His breath was gone because of such a loud scream.

"how's Ca'?"

"uhuh.. This is, quite fun." replied Ica.

"so, you want to date me?" ask Ilham suddenly.

"no." Ica replied.

"uh."

Ica smiled at Ilham.

"NO WANT." Ica once again confirmed by crossing her fingers.

Not upset because it was rejected but Ilham realized that now Ica has returned as before. At least now he was calmer and his burden seemed to have diminished or even disappeared.

Ica who already looks cheerful looks to close her eyes. As if enjoying the environment with full of appreciation. "nothing beats the calm atmosphere in the village." Ica says.

"thank you Ham, you've brought me to this place." he continued.

"iya Ca', I'm glad you've calmed down now. Surely other friends will be happy too." reply Inspiration.

"i'm too stupid. When I was with that jerk, I really didn't have time for you guys and after I left you all still accepted me as a friend. I'm sorry"

"Ca', you're not wrong. Wrong thing is all of us. We can't keep you from getting close to Irwan when we know he's that kind of guy. So me and that rag should be sorry."

"Ilham."

Ica looked at Ilham unconsciously she embraced Ilham and began to cry regretting her actions and behavior all this time. Inspiration that began to carry the atmosphere returned Ica's embrace tightly.

The large tree in that place bears witness to Ica's heart breaking for Ilham although she is not yet fully aware.
